@RnaudBertrand Wow, that’s a lot of rooms to serve and to maintain. Not sure if it’s a pro or a con for visitors. Some people want their quietness and less crowded spaces. I would be a bit hesitant to book.

Fun random fact that I just realized because I'm here: the world's largest hotel is actually in Genting, Malaysia - a hill station in the middle of the country. Why? It's basically the Malaysian Las Vegas with a lot of casinos and let's just say the local developers got a little carried away (the mall attached to the hotel is also absolutely massive, bigger than most malls in China and that's saying something).

@RnaudBertrand Yes, acknowledging their incompetence is the biggest truism but it doesn't stop to surprise these days 😆 I wonder which kind of greased hands were made to push those EUrocrats showing even more idiocy at the expense of anyone Who gains from all of this if not « Big daddy » ? 🥴

So to sum up: - the EU cut itself off from Russian oil and gas - is suffering from unprecedented energy supply issues from the Middle-East - has industrial energy costs 2-3X higher than its competition - produces 40% LESS electricity than the US despite having 33% MORE people (and 75% less electricity than China) And their move - right now, in this context - is to deliberately raise the cost and slow the rollout of Chinese solar, the cheapest and fastest-deploying form of electricity in the market, on the flimsy pretext it's a "security threat." You'd think the bigger "security threat" would be having your industrial base relocate to countries that didn't voluntarily price themselves out of energy. Or, for that matter, ensuring that any new AI infrastructure or industrial projects gets built anywhere but Europe. Beyond parody.

JUST IN - EU blocks funds for key Chinese solar energy parts from Nov 1st, citing "security concerns," as imported inverters could be used to manipulate energy networks and gain unauthorised access to operational data, which could lead "to countrywide blackouts." — FT

A black American from Tennessee went on a trip to visit Shanghai, China She shows in a retail store, a worker is assigned to follow her around and make sure she doesn’t steal anything No matter where she walks, the Chinese worker follows According to real FBI crime statistics, the likelihood of a black person stealing from a store is over 10x higher than a Chinese person stealing from a store Stereotypes seem to exist in multiple countries

EXCLUSIVE. Part two of the Nikita Bier investigation is up. January 9, 2026: a stranger asked Bier to change the Iranian flag emoji on X. He replied: “Give me a few hours.” By end of day, an X engineer had pushed a commit replacing the Islamic Republic’s flag with the pre-1979 Pahlavi Lion and Sun across the entire platform — including on the accounts of Iranian state media and the Supreme Leader. No legal review. No risk assessment for Iranian users inside Iran, where displaying Pahlavi-era symbols has been used as evidence in regime prosecutions. No published rationale. The flag incident is one in a documented pattern: the August “Christian bot bio” comment that preceded a 1.7M account purge, the deleted CT post admitting algorithmic reach rationing, the home-region weighting reversed in six hours, the aggregator cuts hitting creators across the political spectrum. Full piece, with the commit hash, the receipts, and the affected creators: open.substack.com/pub/dannykpoli… DMs open for sources.

@RnaudBertrand Interesting follow up, sounds like making things illegal doesn't completely stop such idiotic anecdotes, obviously. It being on a remote area pretty much confirms the real intent : chasing for buzz online with just one photo😕 PS : I really like that kind of citizen journalism !

Well, mea culpa, turns out the sign was in fact real: one of my followers personally went to visit the food stall in Beijing and spoke with the guy (see his thread 👇) x.com/i/status/20483… Apparently just a local idiot who did it as a marketing move, while recognizing it served no actual purpose since that food market has no American tourists. And the sign had been changed already to limit it to Japanese: Americans are fine now apparently 🤦‍♂️

This is almost certainly fake (a real Chinese food stall with a Photoshopped or AI-modified sign in English and japanese). This type of discrimination is illegal under China's Consumer Rights Protection Law and, contrary to popular belief, the Chinese government is actually very careful to prevent the development of any hostile feelings towards foreigners. I experienced it myself through a funny personal anecdote. A few years ago I was asked to write an article for Chinese media on how similar the US's attack on Huawei was to what they did to France's Alstom. It's true, it's eerily similar. In my article, I criticized France's government because - unlike China - they didn't defend Alstom. Macron - as Finance Minister at the time - signed off on the deal that dismembered a French national champion in favor of the Americans. In effect, he let the American pressure campaign succeed, despite the fact they quite literally kidnapped a French citizen (Frédéric Pierucci) and put him in a US prison as leverage, much like they'd done with Meng Wanzhou in Huawei's case. You'd think that a French citizen saying - which was factual - that the Chinese government had been more courageous than his own government would be welcome messaging, right? Wrong, this part of my article was completely edited out. That's how strict the line is on cultivating hostility toward any foreign country: even when the foreigner himself is the one volunteering the criticism, even when the facts are on his side, even when the comparison flatters China. So the notion that there'd be local street food markets in Beijing with vendors hanging blatant discriminatory "We don't sell to Americans" signs - in markets that see maybe a handful of American tourists a month, if that - is absurd. You don't print a sign for customers who don't exist, all the more when showing such a sign is illegal.

Good news everyone: France's Foreign Minister 👇tells us that his "feminist diplomacy" is "fully mobilized to defend the rights of women in Iran"! Sadly though, it doesn't seem to include the right of schoolgirls not to die under U.S. bombs... You can't have everything I guess 🤷 Sarcasm aside, this is truly European diplomacy at its most abject: weaponizing "human rights" to provide cover for very real atrocities committed by the power they serve as vassals of. "We must save the women from the barbarians" has been the go-to moral laundering technique for Western wars of aggression for decades, and people are still falling for it... It's frankly disgusting.

@RnaudBertrand « Disgusting » is an understatement indeed. That one makes a fuss he probably didn't write himself, but wouldn't do or even say anything while literal schoolgirls are being slaughtered. Sarcasm should be the way to go not to be absolutely ashamed of this « diplomacy ».

Iran Launches Another Attack on Israel Using Submunitions Despite repeated claims that Iran's capabilities have been severely degraded, Iran carried out multiple attacks on Israel overnight, deploying submunitions that rained down on several Israeli cities. Very little interceptor activity was observed. Attacks on U.S. bases in Gulf countries also continued, causing mounting damage. I'll update the costs here. Over the first 12 days of the war, Israel's daily operational costs were around **$700 million**. After accounting for interceptors used and damage sustained, the figure rose to around $2 billion per day, plus economic disruption losses. Today, U.S. daily spending far exceeds Israel's across all areas, including intelligence operations, naval forces, bombs, interceptors, and especially damage to U.S. bases. The U.S. bases in the Gulf hit by Iran are valued at about $27 billion in updated terms. There were roughly 1,600 Patriot interceptors, across Gulf countries (Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan), valued at over $6 billion, and nearly all have already been expended. If Israel's costs reached $2 billion per day, I'd estimate the current U.S. war costs at $6-7 billion per day during this phase, higher than my earlier guess, given the ongoing intense destruction of bases and heavy interceptor usage. If we factor in direct losses to Arab countries, that figure could double. Another rising cost comes from drone losses, with 11 already confirmed downed by Iran, totaling nearly $600 million. These daily costs over the first 5 days of intense fighting will dilute and decrease in the coming weeks, mainly due to ammunition shortages. I therefore maintain my overall estimate of around $360 billion in direct U.S.-Israel costs for a 3-month war.
