China has: 1. Carried out aggressive moves in West Philippine Sea 2. Deployed offensive missiles on reclamated islands in WPS 3. Exported lethal weapons 4. Raised military spending for 30+ years 5. Refused to rule out use of force against Taiwan Is China a "peace-loving nation"?

Instead of repenting of its WWII crimes, Japan is doing the following ⬇️ Is Japan really a “peace-loving nation”? What is Tokyo up to?

China is a party-state. You may think you’re dealing with the responsible government of a sovereign nation-state, but in reality, you’re dealing with a Marxist-Leninist Communist organization. This is one of the key reasons decades of engagement policy have failed.

@Leisenfelder @AngelicaOung Believe what you like but having been to America and china, I would say Americans are not really freer than Chinese. Met a few Americans in china who are happy there.

This reminds me of a conversation with a foreign journalist in China who is convinced of the Uyghur genocide claims despite accepting the forced labor aspect is made up. « It happens all the time that the repression and abuse is real but also that it is exploited by an interested third party. » I asked her what she believed…she said that there was widespread rape and killing of innocent Uyghurs. Her evidence is pretty much all eyewitness testimonies. « So we have endless videos of atrocities coming out of Gaza and Lebanon but opsec is so good coming out of Xinjiang that somehow we don’t have a single corroborating video or photo… » « I am a reporter with a lot of experience! It’s my job to discern when someone is telling the truth and I’ve listened to the victims. I know in my gut they’re telling the truth! » At that point of course the conversation becomes unproductive. All I can say is, at least this reporter was more reality based in not believing the forced labor claims and also that the « camps » are in the past.

Cute toy, ugly truth. Independent testing found Xinjiang cotton in 16 out of 20 Labubu dolls examined, including products sold through major platforms like @amazon, @SHEIN_Official, and @AliExpress_EN. Under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, any goods made in whole or in part with materials from Xinjiang are banned unless companies can prove otherwise. @POPMARTGlobal must provide full transparency, and @CBP must enforce the law. nytimes.com/2026/04/23/bus…

@Leisenfelder @AngelicaOung For someone who comes from a country with undisputedly the most prisoners in the world. That is rich. They are even proud that they have prison labour.

Ken Cao-The China Crash Chronicle
You can critique the content, but wash your mouth first and use your analytical brain a bit. If tourism is booming in China, why is stock price of Beijing International Airport crashing down to the 2002 level? uneducated fools fall for CCP propaganda instead of looking at actual business performance.

Ken is no different than other China bashers who just use random videos found on the internet to make unverified claims about China. When is the last time Ken has actually visited China? China is now on track to become the #1 tourist economy in the world👇 financialpost.com/news/economy/c… The video Ken is showing here is an old section of the Shanghai airport that has been closed for remodelling with these vendors have been relocated to a new section of the airport 🤦🏻‍♂️ Hainan's economy is experiencing a rapid boom, transforming into a major Free Trade Port (FTP) with zero-tariff policies and reduced customs. The key driver of this growth is a massive, high-end duty-free sales, which soared nearly 40-47% in early 2026, alongside surging investment and international tourism. I’m just so sick and tired of these cowards who bash China from overseas and don’t have the balls to even step foot in China and experience it themselves. Unlike Ken, I will be going to both Shanghai, Hainan and many other cities in China as I will bring my wife and 3 kids to China for a 2 month visit starting next month. Can’t wait to showcase the real China to our growing community on YouTube! Haters are always going to hate, but unless you’re on the ground in China, you have no idea what’s really going on there
Ken Cao-The China Crash Chronicle@Ken_LoveTW

Shanghai Pudong Airport is in a slump, with almost all international specialty shops closed! Beijing’s flagship airport stock just collapsed from 14.1 to 1.71 Yuan. Read that again. That’s a total wipeout. Hainan, once branded as China’s “Hawaii”, just saw Meilan Airport crash from 51.95 to 5.21. A 90% destruction of value in what was supposed to be a tourism paradise! And it gets worse. China Tourism Group Duty Free Corporation, once the crown jewel of China’s consumption story, fell from 180 HKD to 37.85 HKD. This isn’t just about airports or retail. This is what happens when an entire growth narrative breaks in real time. The China reopening trade didn’t just disappoint. It collapsed.

China went around Africa and South America making predatory loans in an attempt to make money and seize infrastructure for the most useful part of its lifespan. And now it wants others to pay for its bad bets. We hold 16% of the vote over the IMF. The answer should be no.

Beijing wants to use the International Monetary Fund to rescue the array of distressed Chinese loans around the world. on.wsj.com/3Qqe5JZ

@Dispropoganda This was the response to this video: “I don't feel bad for homeless people in the US because they did it to themselves. But in China these people were failed by their evil government not allowing them to succeed based on their effort.” US government, famously never evil.

Can someone explain how China seizing Taiwan would threaten US national security? Is there anything in the world that isn’t US national security?

Alan provides a summary of how this energy rich nation became dependent on other countries for fuel. 1. We stopped exploring for oil 2. We allowed our oil refineries to close There are detailed reasons for both of the above - but ultimately they were a series of choices, not an inevitability. And we’ve been the only country that’s consistently failed to meet our 90 days fuel reserve obligation for over a decade.

As Trump’s team are finding, Iranian officials are hard to negotiate with. Just when you think you’ve nailed them down, they twist and turn and you’ve got nothing. Professional US negotiators have found them hard to deal with. The current US team is finding it a lot harder.

@jojjeols Det är minst sagt intressant men det gäller inte endast Volvo Cars utan även Volvo Trucks och Volvo Penta. Jag hamnade för ett antal år sedan i en diskussion med ett antal högt uppsatta inom just Volvo Penta om deras affärer med Kina och fick då motargumentet "men USA då".

Är Volvo Cars ett svenskt företag? Många påstår romatiskt att dess identiet och tradition fortfarande är svensk. Men varför fyller man i så fall på den ryska krigskassan, och lanserar reklamkampanjer med kinesiska propagandister som försvarar folkmord? expressen.se/kronikorer/joj…

🇪🇸PM Sánchez is China’s closest ally in Western Europe. “I find it very difficult to imagine any parties other than China that could resolve the situation in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz,” Sánchez said on Tuesday, speaking after a banquet with Xi on his fourth visit to China in just over three years.” FT Sanchez’s obsequiousness towards Xi ignores the last four years of expecting Xi to use his influence on Putin to end his war in Ukraine.

Nobody in the "credentialed class" ever thought any American President could get the Strait of Hormuz opened. Dozens tried, yet they all failed: until now. Trump somehow did it. I never thought I'd live to see the day when the Strait of Hormuz was OPEN to movement of oil.
Mehek Cooke🇺🇸@MehekCooke

Every foreign policy genius who spent a decade collecting paychecks to tell us Iran was untouchable just watched a real estate developer from Queens reopen the waterway that moves a third of the world's oil. The credential class should be embarrassed into silence.
