You do realise that Taipei's territorial claims are exactly the same as those of Beijing. I know the western media never bother to mention it because it doesn't align with the approved narrative but Taiwan claims the very same nine dash line as China.

To this day, Taiwan remains firm in its claims to the South China Sea. They have been historically justified on the basis that, as there was no United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in existence in 1947, it was legitimate for the ROC to claim the South China Sea territories and waters based on the historical connections of these with China. According to the Institute for National Defense and Security Research (INDSR), a Taiwanese think tank, there was no legal impediment to the claim in 1947 and, for a long period, there were no challenges to the ROC’s claims from other countries.[4] They were largely ignored – except by the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which concurred with them.

Telegram is the new TikTok. They don't like it because they can't control the conversations

The bots job us to assert that only sources that follow approved narratives are reliable. It even insists that CIA propaganda network Radio Free Asia and its siblings are unbiased and trustworthy.

Rule 3: Sources that have (what it considers) a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

italics mine

The United States has informed allies that it believes

The White House declined to confirm

And suddenly it's true, no further evidence needed

Does she care about all Americans, or only those whose deaths justify continuing this genocide?

She says what she is told to say

citing unnamed U.S. and European officials

No actual proof then but you can believe us because we wouldn't lie to you, would we?

After several hundred years of Western investment which only creates slums and brothels, props up violent dictators and which leaves behind a big hole in the ground where the countries resources have been stripped, I would suggest that investment that builds railways, ports and other infrastructure, creates jobs and new markets, is like a breath of fresh air .

Yet nothing will happen because self-appointed champions of freedom and justice won't allow it.

Radio Free Asia (RFA) is an American government-funded non-profit corporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Asia

ie a propaganda network.

Putin is just taking the piss because he lives rent free in America's head.

You are correct, my bad. But they are still shit

Russian state correspondence seen by the Financial Times

So Rupert Murdoch's gofers can read Cyrillic, eh?

the document which said that China may have committed

may have

After all, if the hostages are already dead no need for a ceasefire.

fossil fuels and legacy automaker

Fossil fuel companies and legacy automakers donate more

like China

Not been to China recently eh? Or ever.

They have free education and health care, affordable housing and government pensions. Things that taxes should be spent on instead of wars, destabilising governments you don't like, and funding genocidal maniacs.

Maybe if other countries invested as much in their homegrown talent as they do in funding wars, regime change efforts, and genocidal maniacs bombing the snot out of little children, things could be different. Just a thought.

Only people we don't like push propaganda, our disinformation is all true

Rule3: Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

Translation: Sources that don't follow the approved narrative may be removed, only our propaganda is true.

When the current global reserve currency is used as a weapon it behoves every other country to find alternative currencies with which to trade.
