  • Jia gained 20 kg (44 pounds) for her role in “YOLO” and then lost 50 kg under a supervised boxing program.

    “YOLO” grossed RMB2.718 billion ($380 million) during the eight days of public holidays

  • China and India are the only responsible players on the world stage and it shows.

    Cojncidentally, they're also the two nuclear-armed countries who have been involved in the fewest conflicts, and who's conflicts have been resolved the most quickly.

  • The author: Michael von der Schulenburg, former UN Assistant Secretary-General, escaped East Germany in 1969, studied in Berlin, London and Paris and worked for over 34 years for the United Nations, and shortly the OSCE, in many countries in war or internal armed conflicts often involving fragile governments and armed non-state actors. These included long-term assignments in Haiti, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Sierra Leone and shorter assignments in Syria, the Balkan, Somalia, the Balkan, the Sahel, and Central Asia. In 2017, he published the book ‘On Building Peace – rescuing the Nation-State and saving the United Nations’, AUP.

    Former UN Assistant Secretary-General is not credible.

  • A constantly repeated argument in the West is that Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is illegal under international law and that Ukraine thus has not only the right to defend itself, but also the right to ask other states for help in defending itself. This is indisputable, as this conclusion is based on the principles of the UN Charter. But does the UN Charter thereby also give the West the right to continue this war at will, to seek a military victory over Russia and to refuse all peace efforts on these grounds? Certainly not!

  • Chinese business is, by nature, more based on relationships than it is on contracts. The same will be true for any "sanctions" instituted on Israel.

    In the past, Chinese authorities may have been willing to overlook some paperwork. Now, they'll inspect everything three times. In the past, Chinese authorities may have turned a blind eye on some taxes. Now, they'll make sure every single item is taxed appropriately.

  • "gee why did he set himself on fire? must just be something people do"

    it's laughable how US media attributes self-immolation in Tibet to what must be CPC oppression, but self-immolation in the US must just be a cute little coincidence due to poor mental health

  • The Chinese J-20, American F-22, and Turkish KAAN (air superiority fighters)

    The Russian Su-57, Chinese FC-31, and American F-35 (more focused on CAS)

    India? The EU? Japan? Iran? It's becoming increasingly clear who the world leaders in defence are, and the EU should be terrified.

  • For more than a decade, the United States has nurtured a secret intelligence partnership with Ukraine that is now critical for both countries in countering Russia.

    Today: February 2024

    Thanks for the confirmation of what we all knew already: that the US was directly involved in instigating and supporting colour revolution in Ukraine to counter Russia.
