What are you talking about? That's already old news, they've been saying it for more than 5 years now.

What? Of course USA will do everything it can to provoke China to go to war. Just look at what's happening in the Philippines. When Duerte was president everything was fine and there was peace in the area. Now that US puppet Marcos Jr is there, suddenly they need to build 4 MORE US military bases there. Now suddenly there's all sorts of collisions and arguments. Hmm...

Wow this article is a masterpiece of propaganda and disinformation. It doesn't mention anything about the fact that some of those arrested have literal backgrounds working for the CIA. Then it claims that China is getting less foreign investment by saying the NET inflow and outflow is only 33 Billion dollars. Here's the thing, China has been investing heavily in foreign countries like Mexico and Vietnam. So much so that Chinese factories in Mexico are shipping more to USA than China which has recently made Mexico USA's largest exporter.

So, by obfuscating information, they're claiming China is getting less FDI, but wait:

https://www.reuters.com/markets/german-investment-china-rises-new-record-high-2024-02-14/

Germany is having record high investments in China, what's going on?

Well it's easy, they're trying to claim net not total. If I used to make 50 from inflow last year and now make 100 this year but now I'm also spending 80 my "net" went from 100 to 20. I LOST 60%!!!!

Like I said, effective way to obfuscate the data. Love it

Because while there are only obtuse and vague accusations that China is backdooring technology, there's no proof besides a Chinese law that says Chinese tech companies have to help authorities.

The US on the other hand was caught red handed doing what they accuse China of with the Prism system. It was caught spying on Angela Merkle. And just ask Snowdon how he feels about living in exile in Russia for exposing that.

You mean USA. Europe doesn't know it yet, but this will be good for them as well. BRICS goal is to create a frictionless payment system instead of going through US banks and giving them a cut. Once governments start understanding this isn't some weird China/Russia hegemony thing, everyone is going to benefit. Except obviously the US who is trying to collect a toll.

How is that different than now? DnD fell apart because Hasbro is a world stage corporation, they're just trading it to another world stage corporation which will kill it further until they pass it on too.

Whatever you remember liking is long long dead.

Well, look at the results. Only 40% voted for the DPP. 60% voted against the DPP. It's just the 2 more pro-China parties got their vote split. Not so in their congress which is now mostly KMT.

So if we take the popular vote, Taiwan voted for status quo, not Independence. China's noticed that and that's why they're not doing another blockade.

But that goes against your narrative so I'll bet you downvote me and ignore the actual votes that do not support your argument.

Of course you can, it's about superheroes, you can see it in the costumes.

Nothing besides that though. I also watched it and am drawing a blank. I think there was a scene with a boat for some reason?

So yeah, canceling it made perfect sense.

While I agree that many of them are thinking that way, the concept totally baffles me. If you're a racist, why would you not support abortion for minorities? It's the strangest thing to me. So the real problem here is people don't understand how statistics work.

In HK: the police calmed the protests with no deaths attributed to the police, only the protestors such as the girl's suicide and the man they lit on fire.

In USA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiU8sL7Yq9Q

But yeah, China bad

China already essentially made that offer, but it was rejected by the Indian side.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-64870707

Although, the Indian claim the offer was never made.

So hopefully, fingers crossed, this finally gets agreed upon as it's clearly the best solution.

China allows for civil unions for LGBTQ.

https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1162943.shtml

Is China perfect, of course not. But China made civil unions legal across the nation before USA made gay marriage legal in every state.
