@ForgiatoBlow47 @KimDotcom 23 years too late, but better late than never.

It sure looks like Lindsay Graham is going to lose his South Carolina seat after 23 years What do You think about that?

@business @sceptical_panda Am sure there will be tolls…🤣

Thailand will press ahead with a plan to link the Indian and Pacific oceans, after tensions over the Strait of Hormuz highlighted the strategic value of key shipping routes, a senior minister said bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Macron says China is “killing” European industry. Funny. For years, Europe followed Washington in suppressing Huawei, ZTE, Chinese solar, Chinese EVs, Chinese tech — then acted shocked when China stopped waiting for European approval and built its own industrial future. When European cars flooded China and dominated the Chinese market, did Beijing cry that Europe was “killing” Chinese industry? No. China learned. China upgraded. China competed. From low-end exports to drones. From trading 800 million cheap T-shirts for a Boeing to high-speed rail, solar panels, batteries, robots, EVs, and CNC machine tools. China spent decades climbing the industrial ladder while Europe was busy enjoying monopoly margins, moral lectures, and the illusion that history had ended in Brussels. Now the competition has arrived, and suddenly Europe calls it a “threat.” This is not China killing European industry. This is Europe discovering that nostalgia is not an industrial policy. That protectionism is not innovation. That blaming China is easier than admitting you wasted thirty years. China did not destroy Europe’s industry. Europe outsourced, deindustrialized, sanctioned competitors, slept through the transition — and woke up angry that China kept building.

Chinese civilians in a mass grave after being murdered by Japanese soldiers. A ditch filled with the dead near Xuzhou, 1938. It is reminiscent of the Einsatzgruppen mass graves of Jews in Ukraine.

I get the impression the Chinese leadership don’t seem to understand this mindset. Their brain cannot comprehend this.

@shaunrein Bipolar

European friends, why do European businessmen sound so sane when it comes to China but politicians sound like batshit crazy warmongers? It doesn't make any sense to me

@romanhelmetguy Nonsense, it’s high trust because criminals get caught and punished quickly, unlike the West where most criminals are not even caught, let alone punished.

Singapore is not a high trust society, it’s a port city where order is enforced by a draconian police state that canes people for stuff that isn’t even a crime here. If that police state disappeared next Tuesday, you’d have a race war by the weekend. Nice place to visit though.

@szygls No, it’s because all the fellow passengers are too scared to comment, everyone pretending not to see it. Westerners in the cities are actually a very frightened bunch.

旁人居然无动于衷。因为这是文明，还是见怪不怪了？如果在中国，一定是口诛笔伐，管理员来干涉了。

@AgingAnarchist @ItsAllToast Japanese mindset - always kowtow to those more powerful, and bully those less.

刺青を入れた日本人は怖いので失礼のないように。

@JayantBhandari5 Not to mention Sikkim.

1.4 billion Indians are like crabs. They keep everyone from doing well. India against all international norms attacked Hyderabad, Goa, etc. It had no authority to fully incorporate Kashmir into India by removing article 370.

@luyao_100fo Stupid is as stupid does.

润人去了加拿大，眼神都清澈了，还是资本主义教育人🤪 加拿大润人分享视频，丈夫放弃了国企百万年薪，润到加拿大送外卖。妻子直言面子是不是别人给的，但润到加拿大后，从没想过找高大上的工作！

@LS_Keyes Wrong diagnosis. Low crime will create high trust. To have low crime - high rate of criminals getting caught and punished by law quickly. In the West police don’t even bother with what they regard as “minor” crimes, result is abundance of criminals.

Japan was the first time I understood what a "High Trust Society" looked like. It comes down to a homogeneous culture and people bound by a cohesive social fabric. Which doesn't exist in America.

@Alex_Oloyede2 @KimDotcom What do u know, another European woman minister! 🤷‍♂️😞

🇫🇮🇨🇳🇷🇺 China has to leave Russia, or Finland will veto any EU-China free trade agreements. – Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen gives Beijing an ultimatum. Meanwhile, Finland today has fallen to the worst performing EU state, due to self imposed sanctions on Russia. - Shortages of oil and gas - Decline in Tourism (Russians making up the most) - Cities on the border with Russia shrinking away without spending visitors - Highest unemployment in the EU But yeah, let's now pick a fight with China.

@xilihutu116 No idea when China will really learn about scoundrels. Perhaps they never will.

2026年3月底中国向菲律宾运送了26万桶柴油‌，以帮助其缓解因中东局势紧张引发的能源危机。这一行动被广泛称为“雪中送炭” 但‌在柴油到港后不到24小时‌，菲律宾即签署行政命令，单方面将中国南沙群岛131个岛礁改名为“卡拉延群岛”

@whiteTony99 Sounds like they have no will to fight whatsoever, just surrender instead

这玩的是哪一出，丧权辱国，送石油送黄金，没有买来半分怜悯，也没有买来美对委内瑞拉的解除制裁，跪舔没有从来没有好结局！4月19日，委内瑞拉代总统罗德里格斯亲自在苏利亚州带队，发起了一场全国性的游行，喊着“解除制裁”“归还主权”的口号，身后跟着数十万饥肠辘辘的民众。 委内瑞拉的石油产量从每天65万桶涨到110万桶，可这些石油卖的钱，一分都没进委内瑞拉的国库，全存到了美国财政部的账户里。想用钱？得看美国脸色，简直是把国家主权当儿戏。 石油不够，黄金来凑。德尔西又签了法案，让美国轻松拿走了70%的矿产开采权。这边德尔西忙着讨好美国，那边委内瑞拉的老百姓，已经快饿疯了，国内的通胀率飙到了682%，全球第一，普通民众一个月工资只有130玻利瓦尔，折合成美元才0.27元，连个馒头都买不起。

@realgerhardtvdm So? Prostate cancer is slow progression, plus there are good drugs for it.

🇮🇱 MASSIVE MASSIVE BREAKING NEWS: Benjamin Netanyahu has prostate cancer.

@gonglei89 If you mean real estate sector, it deserved to be busted, and the burst was managed about as well as could be.

Disagree in one key sense. The material economy was for the most part always fine because the central govt had ways to redirect stranded production capacity to other projects *but* a financial recovery was definitely needed and that required a bit of adjustment time.

Coincidentally I was just about to share this photo I took tonight in Nanjing East Road to show how devastated and collapsed the Chinese economy was 😄

@ZichenWanghere What corner? There was no corner to start with. I think even you guys are too immersed into stupid narratives.

China’s economy has finally turned the corner, say Guo Kai & Zhu He. Economists at CF40, a leading non-govt thinktank on macroeconomy and finance, reach a counterintuitive conclusion that China is entering a milder, more sustainable recovery shaped by endogenous clearing. link👇

@LegendaryEnergy @barnes_law It’s either an uber Orwellian thing or it’s peak derangement, can’t be anything else

It feels like the entire Trump administration is trying to give us more unlikable clips than cool clips everyday at a ratio of like 40 to 1. They’re going out of their way to give themselves bad press on a daily basis.
