It's absurd how useless pandering to the voterbase slipped into a meeting between the leaders of global superpowers.

Capitalism, but only if it doesn't affect shareholder value if the CEO does too well. This was part of the contract signed with Musk ages ago.

Your claim is that China is supporting... A grassroots feminist movement? Abortion? Palestine?

The horror.

Axis Powers pt. 2

In other news, Venezuela banned its opposition candidate for attempting a coup. Venezuela was then sanctioned to shit.

How much money, exactly, do you think is in the US property market?

How much money, specifically, from the middle class?

sigh is this the "Great Replacement Theory" I've heard so much about? Replacing foreigners with Guangdong natives?

Why is this guy not banned? This is literally an oped that asks why China doesn't care about the Red Sea being open to Chinese ships (and not others)... when public support is entirely on the side of Palestine.

It would be political suicide for China to intervene on behalf of Israel in any meaningful capacity.

Cold War 2 baby

It's just 1km bro, just 1km trust me. I'm just making the concentration camp 1km smaller trust me bro. It's not ethnic cleansing bro. It's just a one-time action bro.

Let me get this straight. When China docks a boat at a foreign port (through normal diplomatic channels, mind you, and in a region where China lacks military bases) it's "unlawful and aggressive."

When the US opens up military bases on foreign soil, surrounding their key geopolitical rivals, it's "lawful and peaceful"?

Your takes on this issue aren't better than your takes on the ICJ ruling.

I mean, this is a pretty obvious retaliatory strike.

This was passed through Jerusalem, so there's likely to be worse that wasn't released.

Bad for Europe is good for America. Europe's manufacturing PMI is in the gutter, but they still gotta get their manufactured goods somehow.

Oh no! Not freedom of speech!

Absolutely mad respect for the guy, and there's little to doubt that he played a huge part in maintaining the rule of law in Hong Kong post-1997. He is, for all intents and purposes, an expert in Hong Kong law and it's implications with the mainland.

Ukraine taking "ooo piece of candy" to a whole other level

In a German court? Even Russian oligarchs have limited reach in German courts, particularly with their funds being frozen and their associates being closely watched.

This study helps to explain aspects of Chinese culture that the West seems to lack understanding for: a meritocracy has been the foundation for Chinese social movement since the Tang dynasty. Upwards mobility was dictated by academic performance, not some notion of capital accrual.

The real question is why third-party "journalism" from fucking Forbes was used to justify sanctions in the first place.
