70% of all of Chinese household’s wealth is sunk into real estate, 20 years of gains have been wiped out with housing costing the same as 2005. Peoples life savings have been lost but CCP shills are coping hard! Their copium? Houses are affordable now 🤪 no one is buying, idiots

I understand that many of you have been influenced by the Chinese propaganda on TikTok.
Here’s what a typical train journey in China actually feels like.

Did you guys know that a large majority of the Chinese trains still have these kinds of open toilets? It is just a hole in the ground, and your shit goes directly on the railway track. Imagine the smell at the platforms. 🤢😷

A French nun was assaulted near Jerusalem’s Old City, shoved onto a rock and repeatedly kicked near a site revered by Christians and Jews, amid a rise in attacks targeting Christians in Israel, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories.

The Chinese Embassy’s statement is telling. It is asserting that their research vessels are conducting scientific missions in “waters of the South China Sea under Chinese jurisdiction,” this means that they are openly admitting to violating the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and ignoring the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award.
Just in case they forget, the Arbitral Tribunal clearly ruled that China’s claims of “historic rights” within the so-called nine-dash line have no legal basis. Areas within the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and continental shelf are under Philippine jurisdiction, not Chinese. Conducting marine scientific research in another state’s EEZ without the coastal state’s consent is unlawful under UNCLOS Articles 56 and 246.
Their justification relies entirely on an illegal and expansive claim that has been unequivocally rejected by international law. True peace and stability in the South China Sea can only be achieved through respect for UNCLOS and the rules-based international order — not through unilateral assertions of “jurisdiction” over waters and features that do not belong to them, nor through the normalization of unlawful activities. Any attempt to fabricate “no incidents” while insisting on illegal claims only confirms who is truly trying to provoke and destabilize the region.

“It wasn't enough for him to just knock her to the ground and hurt her; it was as if he wanted to finish her off, to kill her.”
In an interview with MEE, Bishop William Shomali condemned a “treacherous attack” by a Jewish Israeli man against a nun in the old city of Jerusalem.

⚠️ There have been at least FIVE serious, international coercion events against 🇹🇼 by 🇨🇳 in a week.
This is a very serious escalation, with Beijing seeking to control the skies + policy of other countries + simple travel plans of Taiwanese people.
1️⃣ Mauritius, Seychelles, Madagascar bow to 🇨🇳 pressure to revoke President Lai’s flight permits.
2️⃣ Czech Republic, Germany reportedly refused to permit Lai’s transit.
3️⃣ @rightscon summit in Zambia cancelled reportedly because 🇨🇳 whinged about Taiwanese participation.
4️⃣ @UNESCO (due to be held in Zambia) now having to be subjected to additional screening to ensure certain delegates are excluded (who do you think they might mean?).
5️⃣ Event with Taiwanese ambassador in Argentina summarily cancelled, suspect PRC pressure. Lawmakers pressured not to attend another meeting about authoritarian influence. More on this one later.
Beijing is trying to shrink the world for Taiwanese.
The free world should respond by sending invitations to 🇹🇼 and offering the kind of welcome visitors always receive when they go to Taipei.

Local reporting now suggests that China pressured the cancelation of @rightscon. If true, this is the latest example of the CCP successfully exporting censorship far beyond its borders. But it is also a spectacularly bad move by both governments. 1/3

Germany and the Czech Republic denied requests for Taiwan President Lai Ching-te to transit through Europe earlier this month.
So these two pushovers keep pleasing Beijing while Beijing keeps supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
They can please Beijing even more by buying Huawei chips instead of those made by TSMC.

'I REALLY DOUBT IT' Duda raw ang abogado ni Sen. Bato dela Rosa na nais ng mga Pilipinong huwag nang pasuwelduhin ang senador dahil sa ilang buwan nang pagliban nito sa Senado. "'Yun pong 'yun ang hiling ng Pilipino, I really doubt it. Ang iba lang niyan ay 'yung mga detractors lang talaga niya," saad ni Atty. Israelito Torreon sa panayam sa programang "Ted Failon and DJ Chacha" sa True FM.
