不转播,国际足联网站竟然连中文也删了!距离美加墨世界杯开赛只剩一个月,全球球迷都在翘首以盼,就在这个时候,国际足联官网悄无声息地更新了页面,看似再正常不过的一次维护,却暗藏玄机。 点开语言选项栏,英语、法语、西班牙语、德语、阿拉伯语一字排开,再往下翻,日语有了,韩语也在,连印尼语都稳稳占着一个位置。可从头划到尾,来来回回数了八种语言——唯独没有中文。 要知道,中文是世界使用人数最多的语言,也是联合国六大官方语言之一,国际奥委会官网有中文,NBA官网有中文,几乎所有国际顶级赛事都把中文版当作标配。偏偏国际足联,这个掌管全球最吸金赛事的组织,在最关键的窗口期,把中文从页面上抹得一干二净。 这不是疏忽,不是维护延迟,更不是什么服务器抽风,语言的排列和取舍,从来都是人为决定的。如果真想加,加一个中文入口的技术成本几乎为零。

从特朗普访华的随行人员来看一下中美博弈力量的对比 2017年特朗普第一次访华与这一次的访华随行人员有什么不同呢? 2017年的时候,他非常帶有个人特色,几乎没有消费互联网巨头,像谷歌、脸书都没有,而是以能源、制造业和传统工农业巨头为主,金融圈只来了高盛一家。 当时代表团主要是卖飞机火车的,卖芯片的,卖化工材料的,这些传统实业大佬搭配一个高盛。 而奥巴马或者拜登到中国呢?通常是带硅谷互联网的这些明星。 看得出来,特朗普的经贸诉求就是卖美国货。 那么今年特朗普呢,带的这个团有变化的。主角就变成了像英伟达、苹果、高通些高科技你的公司,另外还有像波音啊,黑石、花旗、Visa这些顶级金融大咖,这说明了美国对中国的诉求核心变了。 当年是急于推销实体资源和智能业出口,如今的紧急诉求呢,是中国市场准入,还有科技供应链的松绑,来救美国优势科技和金融企业。

🚨🇨🇳 CCTV (China Central Television) President Shen Haixiong on FIFA’s outrageous $300 million demand for broadcasting rights in China: “FIFA have become corrupt under Infantino. All they care about now is money — the fans are no longer their concern. Just look at the ticket prices for World Cup matches. How can an average working-class person afford them?” “Football used to belong to everyone, but they have slowly taken that away from the middle class.” “They could lose a combined audience of 3 billion people from India and China alone if they do not reduce their greed.” 😳

I think you are missing the world runs on energy and the supply from the gulf no has a huge risk premium. The western powers ex the US aren’t filling the vacuum. The US is now the largest supplier of natural gas and increasing total energy exported. China has proven more of a paper tiger whose friendship can’t protect you and doesn’t even try. You may think the US is losing power but energy is giving a new tool to control markets

🌐 The last time the world was genuinely multipolar was the 19th century into the early 20th, before World War I... The major powers back then were Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and later the United States and Japan. After WWII, the world flipped to bipolar with the U.S. and Soviet Union. After the Soviet collapse in 1991, it became unipolar with America standing alone at the top of the global order. That unipolar moment is now ending in real time, and most Americans haven't fully processed it yet. China is openly building a parallel economic system, telling its banks to ignore U.S. sanctions on Iran. Russia is deepening ties with Tehran. The UAE just walked out of OPEC. The global south is forming new alliances. Even traditional allies like Germany and France are quietly building independent maritime missions and questioning American strategy on the record. The Iran war is accelerating the transition. Every week that the Strait of Hormuz stays militarized is another week countries learn to plan for a world that doesn't run through Washington's permission. Once those workarounds are built, they don't get dismantled when the war ends. We're moving back toward something the world hasn't seen in over a century. Multiple competing powers, shifting coalitions, no single hegemon. The post-Cold War era is officially over. The next chapter is being written now, and the rules will look very different from the ones America wrote for the last 80 years...

Whether in the United States or Europe, the so-called concepts of "decoupling from China" and "de-Sinicizing supply chains" have, from start to finish, been nothing more than an impossible and fallacious proposition. China possesses the most comprehensive industrial supply chain structure in the world, as well as the largest workforce of skilled technical workers and the highest concentration of industrial robot-equipped workshops; furthermore, it sources raw materials and other goods from every corner of the globe. While the United States may be able to sanction Chinese enterprises or restrict domestic procurement of Chinese goods, it is absolutely impossible to verify—for every single component and every single product—whether it contains Chinese raw materials or parts, or whether it originates from an enterprise under Chinese capital control. Would Americans be able to adapt to life without Chinese-made fireworks, national flags, Christmas trees, or lawnmowers? Even the iconic "MAGA" hats are made in China.

This isn’t BRICS vs G7. It’s a radical Islamist regime that has spent decades building nuclear weapons, funding global terrorism, and attacking its neighbors, now facing consequences for its actions. Iran chose to. attack Israel directly, attacked shipping, and built proxy armies across the region. The idea that Russia and China are noble counterweights is fantasy. They’re opportunists happy to use Iran as a cheap proxy to bleed the West.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 This war stopped being about Iran a long time ago. It's BRICS versus the G7... Step back from the daily missile exchanges and look at the alignment that's actually formed. The U.S. and Israel on one side, Russia and China on the other, with Iran as the test case for whether the unipolar American order survives or whether the multipolar BRICS framework can actually back its members in great-power confrontation. Araghchi flew to Russia. Then to China. Putin offered Trump help with Iranian uranium. Wang Yi publicly demanded a ceasefire. Both poles are working Tehran's case in coordination. The cost America is paying tells the real story. Oil: Strategic Petroleum Reserve repeatedly tapped to manage the Hormuz price shock. Future consumers paying back today's stock draws. Debt: $25-35 billion in 38 days on Epic Fury, financed by adding to a national debt already exceeding GDP. Future taxpayers paying interest on bombs dropped today. Reputation: Every alienated NATO ally, every Gulf partner who pulled airspace access, every developing country whose food supply got destabilized by American sanctions. Eighty years of diplomatic capital burned in weeks. Munitions: 1,100 JASSM-ER missiles fired. 1,500 left globally. Six years to replace. The strategic deterrent built to keep China away from Taiwan got spent fighting a country one-eighth its size. The BRICS aren't paying any of this. China's stockpiles grow while America's deplete. Iran's regime survives intact. Whatever deal gets signed in the coming days isn't the end. It's the rehearsal. The next war is what these lessons get applied to.

央视如果拒绝 FIFA 开出的天价世界杯转播权,我认为这件事反而值得讨论。 世界杯不是某一家电视台的私产,更不应该被垄断转播绑架。中国有这么多视频平台、体育平台、互联网平台,完全可以市场化竞争,谁有能力、谁愿意服务球迷,谁就来接。球迷要的是看球,不是等一个垄断入口施舍。 最可笑的是,又有一群人开始洗地,说什么“中国没人看足球”“没人半夜起来看球”“中国足球不流行”。这就是睁眼说瞎话。 当年世界杯多少场比赛都是半夜、凌晨转播?多少人定闹钟爬起来看?欧洲杯也一样。酒吧、宿舍、客厅、烧烤摊,哪一次大赛不是一群人熬夜看球? 中国队踢得不行,不代表中国没有球迷。喜欢阿根廷、巴西、法国、德国、英格兰、葡萄牙,都是个人自由。足球是世界运动,不是国足成绩的附属品。 真正的问题不是中国人不爱足球,而是有人总想替中国球迷决定:你该不该看,你能不能看,你值不值得看。 世界杯应该属于球迷,不应该属于垄断。

Now do Helium: China imports ~85% of its helium Qatar was ~54% of those imports (Helium is critical for semiconductor manufacturing: wafer cooling, inert atmosphere, leak detection, and flushing in AI chip fabs) Iranian strikes on Qatar’s Ras Laffan (world’s largest helium plant) took ~30-35% of global supply offline in March 2026. Force majeure declared: 3-5 years to repair If I had to sum it up: China then: quietly built massive dependence on Qatari helium while chasing AI/semicon dominance. China now: spot prices doubling in Asia, fabs scrambling, Russia ramping but can’t fully fill the gap US: We have plenty of Helium, but it's gonna cost you in Rare Earths... Sun Tzu would be proud

China's policy towards religious organisations is not a matter of persecution but as a matter of national sovereignty and protection against foreign interference. In China, churches must adhere to strict Socialist Core Values of the state. This means that God must speak Chinese; it must be a God that approves of socialism and the collective advancement of the people. Hard work is not a "hustle" for personal gain,it is a sacred social duty to the motherland. Religion is required to teach kindness toward fellow citizens, regardless of their faith, stripping away the sectarian divisions that imperialists use to "divide and conquer." The individual must be loyal to the nation above all else. Instead of focusing solely on the narcissism of "personal salvation" or the greed of "individual prosperity," the believer is required to see wealth as a national collective and a resource to be used for the upliftment of the entire society, not the enrichment of a few. This is in direct contrast to the Nigerian model, where churches are nothing more than neo-colonial projects designed to keep the African mind in a state of perpetual subjection. These churches project Jesus as a "White European" and the devil as a "Black figure," a psychological assault that forces the believer to worship their oppressor and fear themselves. These churches weaponize "grace" to convince believers that regardless of how hard you work, your labor is meaningless without the "favor" of a distant, foreign deity. This effectively creates millions of working class population who would rather pray for miracles instead of organising a rebellion to reclaim their resources and force the state to work for them. Furthermore, these institutions have turned the spiritual landscape into a fragmented marketplace of artificial division. Every "General Overseer" acts like a corporate CEO, peddling their own "brand" of God as the only one that works. This effectively creates a state of theological balkanization, so while the masses argue over which church has the "true" interpretation of a foreign book. This internal rivalry is a gift to the imperialists; it ensures that the people are too busy competing for "heavenly ranking" to form a unified front against material exploitation. In Africa, these churches teach a predatory, hyper-capitalist worldview where "Prosperity" is a private gift from God rather than a right earned through sovereign development. The believers are subconsciously programmed to see poverty as a spiritual "curse" rather than the cold, hard reality of state failure and decades of Western-engineered debt, IMF-imposed austerity, and the systematic exploitation of African resources.
Nikki Haley@NikkiHaley

A Christian pastor has been imprisoned in China since October. He committed no crime. He was jailed for worshiping God. Trump is right to raise his case with Xi. The contrast couldn't be starker: one nation guarantees the freedom to worship, the other jails you for it.

74岁的法国左翼民粹政客,再次宣布参选总统的梅朗雄在最新采访中表示台湾是中国的一部分,中国如果武力攻打台湾,他要是总统,绝不干涉: 记者: 那么,您认为台湾是中国的一部分? 梅朗雄: 是。 记者: 但他们有自己的货币、政府……但对您来说,台湾就是中国。那是历史性的。那么,如果中国接管台湾,您会支持吗? 梅朗雄: 听着,我曾在国民议会的讲台上明确表达过:这确实是个问题。 而且,我并不是唯一一个这样说的人,这一点我们必须记住。 加拿大总理在与川普先生发生争执后刚刚访问了中国,一到那里他就声明:“对我们来说,只有一个中国。” 随后,西班牙首相也在与川普先生争执后访问了中国,他也表示:“对我们来说,只有一个中国。” 所以你看,我有很好的同伴——一位加拿大自由派和一位西班牙社会民主党人。 因此,我可以很自然地在演讲开头说“只有一个中国”。 至于剩下的问题,那应该由中国人自己去解决。 我们应该希望并采取行动,以礼貌和尊重的方式进行干预,使事情能够和平、冷静地解决。 记者: 但难道不去阻止他们吗? 梅朗雄: 阻止什么? 记者: 阻止他们接管台湾。对您来说,我们不该阻止他们,不该反对,也不该试图拖住中国的后腿? 梅朗雄: 你在这一句话里用了三个词:拖后腿、阻止……这些词的性质是完全不同的。 所谓“拖后腿”,我们可以讨论,可以谈。 我们可以和中国人对话,没必要去威胁他们,我们可以带着尊重和友好去交流。 但如果他们真的介入(武力行动),那就是另一回事了。 记者: 那我们会怎么做? 梅朗雄: 我们不会干涉。 就这样。如果我是共和国总统,我们绝不会对中国开战。 记者: 如果您是总统,您必须发表一份声明。那会是什么样的声明? 梅朗雄: 到时候看吧,因为我不打算现在就把所有底牌都亮出来。 面对那种情况,必须比非黑即白的态度更加机敏、更有策略。 我们绝不会对中国开战。 女士,我用稍微粗鲁点的话告诉你原因:要想击败中国,至少需要 20 到 30 枚核弹。 而法国只要挨上一枚,就彻底消失了。 因此,如果我们想发动战争,我们根本没有那样实力。 19 世纪那种我们和英国朋友联手摧毁园林艺术奇迹:圆明园,以此强迫中国人购买鸦片的时代已经结束了。 殖民主义的时代已经过去了,我们不能重蹈覆辙。 我们不能再以殖民心态去对待中国,因为即使我们想,我们也已经没有那个能力了。 所以,我们必须与中国达成谅解。 你看,中国人比我在美国那边听到的一些言论要聪明得多。

🇺🇸🇮🇷 How did Iran manage to attack 3 U.S. destroyers? Iran's mosquito boats, small and nearly impossible to track, swarmed U.S. destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz. The CIA had already flagged Iran's underground stockpiles of anti-ship missiles. The U.S. knew what was coming, so they let it happen. While the destroyers sat in position, carrier fighter jets and cruise missiles were already coordinated and ready. The moment Iran made their move, the U.S. had already traced them back to their source. They absorbed the attack just long enough to lock onto the origin, then they hit back with everything. It's a brutal calculation: take the hit, confirm the location, eliminate the threat permanently. In one of the most contested waterways on earth, the U.S. turned Iran's asymmetric playbook against itself. Source: AiTelly
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🇮🇷🇺🇸 140 ships cross the Strait of Hormuz daily in normal times. Right now, nothing about it is normal. Iran declared it fully open on April 18th during the ceasefire. Trump launched "Project Freedom" to escort commercial ships out under military protection. Then U.S.-Iran forces exchanged fire, and the whole program went on pause. Within hours: full control claimed, then frozen. That's improvisation, not a strategy. Trump said a peace deal would make the Strait open to all, including Iran. Whether that deal materializes is a different question entirely. Source: FT

It's very incorrect and indeed hurtful to Taiwan to catagorize "Status Quo" as "de facto independence). The whole reason status quo is possible is because it is NOT independence. If Taiwan declared de-jure indepenence tomorrow, then we would get forced reunification tomorrow. In fact, in order to maintain the health of Status Quo, which is in fact what the people of Taiwan want, you need to emphasize that it is NOT independence, and also repair the detente with the mainland.
