@Eng_china5 This is stupid.

The Chinese army does not eat canned food and relies on fresh meals. The culinary skills of PLA chefs are legendary, as they cut vegetables with ruler‑like precision.

@TGTM_Official “Just one thin-skinned leader’s personal rage” - so same as now.

One Angry Search That Banned Google From China In 2010, Li Changchun, the top Communist Party official in charge of ideology, typed his own name into Google. What he saw? Page after page of curses and criticism. Nothing but hate. Furious, the powerful old cadre slammed the table and gave a direct order: Shut Google down completely in mainland China. No big national security meeting. No grand strategy. Just one thin-skinned leader’s personal rage that cut off Gmail, YouTube, and Google Search for 1.3 billion people. The Great Firewall didn’t rise for “harmony.” It rose because one man couldn’t handle his search results. Where is he now? Retired since 2012, the 82-year-old Li Changchun lives quietly in Beijing and far from the spotlight, but forever linked to the digital iron curtain he helped build.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 They use this kind of lawfare in Thailand. Never thought I’d see the day they started doing it in the UK. Silver living is those in real power feel threatened.

🚨BREAKING: The judge in the Manchester airport attack trial has referred Nigel Farage to the attorney general for potential prosecution 🇬🇧 This is because the leader of Reform UK branded the assault trial as “two-tier” A statement from the judge says: “The observation made by Nigel Farage was potentially a contempt of court as it implied the guilt of the defendants” We truly live in a clown country.

@KhaosodEnglish My IO officer wasted time asking to see my QR code only to lose patience and inform me it's on her screen anyway.

Raise your hand if you've ever scrambled to fill out an immigration form on the plane. 🙋 Thailand's new THIM app lets you do it in advance — in about three minutes. Return visitors? Under one minute. The goal: no more than 40 seconds at the counter.

@thatbloodybird Henry's last moments could have been him witnessing the arrest of his murderer.

‘Nothing we could have done.’ Your officers could have comforted a dying man instead of hurting and mocking him. They could have chosen not to be stupidly cruel.

@KhaosodEnglish I'd rather they're less corrupt.

Thai police just banned these 6 postures in uniform — because your body language says more than your badge. Which one do you think is the biggest offender? #Thailandnews

@marcusx191 @harukaawake Yea, but you can't just go to North Korea. China sells itself as a tourist destination. North Korea doesn't. Least North Korea is honest about it.

@harukaawake >If I go to China and curse Xi Jinping, it carries the death penalty. The same applies to North Korea as well

It is 100% legal in Japan to curse the emperor. In China, your communist country, it's 100% illegal. If I curse the emperor, people will either agree with me or disagree with me (most will disagree). If I go to China and curse Xi Jinping, it carries the death penalty.

@harukaawake Add to that if you criticize Xi and manage to evade authorities for a while, they'll go after your family.

@LeeHarris Pretty sure one of the first things they teach you in police training is, "Now, the public will often try to mislead you....."

"Our officers were misled" I'm sorry, what?! Henry had been stabbed and was pleading for you to save him. You then handcuffed him and one of your officers said. "I don't think you've been stabbed, mate". F*CK YOU! Release the footage.

@mansohui Colombia, less than 30 years ago, was nearly a failed state. They got their shit together and have now had visa free travel to the EU for over 10 years. Your passport becomes stronger when you decide to get your house in order. Or you can blame EU policy.

@GBNEWS If someone tells a police officer they've been stabbed, it should take less than a split second to decide to take them seriously.

'Our police officers have to make impossible decisions in a split second and they made the wrong one.' Dr Krish Kandiah voices caution at turning Henry Nowak's murder into a 'culture war moment'. 🇬🇧 Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/support

@NormanBrennan @Elwood_B__ "There was very little blood for the officers to see"

There was very little blood for the officers to see; the pathologist stated in court this week that the victim died of catastrophic internal injuries there was little blood on the outside of the body & even if a heart surgeon had been on scene the injuries sustained were unsurvivable; I won’t respond further but will wait the @policeconduct Independent findings like everyone should so at least that’s some balance! Thanks!

Folks Many have commented on the Murder of Henry Nowak without knowing the Full Facts; Police arrived on blue & twos to a very fast moving & confusing situation & were greeted with a False Allegation & acted on that Lie; hindsight is a gift none of us have & certainly not the police; It’s right & appropriate that @HantsPolice responded with the full facts when they could & as were seen by the responding officers; we live in a world of the Blame game; often with minimum facts or accurate information some immediately apportion blame; @HantsPolice were unable to respond to the criticism during a live criminal trial due to the Sub-judicial law; ie you cannot comment about a trial in any negative way when it’s ongoing trial; so nothing was being hidden as legally they could not respond in anyway; despite the media reporting on the case daily which they are entitled on doing so on evidence given in an ongoing case; ie only the facts given in open court; Put yourself in the shoes of those responding officers turning up at a chaotic scene with someone shouting allegations (now known as lies) & not being aware that a man had been stabbed; they were probably acting on instinct as they tried to fathom what had actually happened; Have the public got the right to ask questions of this incident? absolutely as the police are accountable to the public for any actions that they take be they rightly wrongly or in an honest belief that they were acting in trying to protect the public & making split second decisions with little to no information all of these questions & superstitions will now want & need answers; The suspect here was Not the victim but in fact the Individual who lied to the police who clearly did not know that that was the case in the initial seconds that they arrived; they were deceived; What was the Immediate concern of the officers? that there had been a racial attack? & if so was that their over riding concern? Could they have dealt with this matter differently? & if so how? These are the type of questions the @policeconduct will now Independently investigate; Those wishing to see the Officers BWC Footage will be disappointed at this stage as that is with the @policeconduct & that is right we cannot have the Social Media Jury giving their verdicts on just a short video clip without reading & hearing from all of the witnesses in this matter; The attending officers have been subject of a huge amount of abuse & condemnation & that should be reserved until we know the full facts of this matter as the dreadful headlines probably haven’t told the True Story just the salacious condemning parts; When the public are told of true facts probably by @policeconduct then that’s the time for comments & views when all the true facts & circumstances are known; The person we should all be condemning is the Murderer; the Lier along with his mother who took the knife the Murderer used in this monstrous & pointless killing & hid it in her house; He has been convicted of Murder & his Mother of assisting an offender & I hope that they each receive very long & appropriate sentences; I also saw many negative comments of when the judge gave the Jury his directions; he gave them the offence of Murder or Manslaughter to consider; I can tell you that alongside every Murder charge will also be the alternative charge of Manslaughter; the first requires an Intent to Murder & the other is a Killing without Intent! The Jury in the end absolutely got the verdict right; that of Murder where a fixed term of Imprisonment is passed & I’d suggest that will be in the region of 23/26yrs as the aggravating factors are high & the mitigating factors are low in this case in my opinion! The Murderer will have to serve the entire sentence that is passed called a Tariff as there is no early release when a person is convicted of a murder! I hope my overview helps put this case into some sort of perspective! Thanks & God Bless Mr Henry Nowak & his Family😞

@Lewis_Brackpool What was the worse case scenario in the officers' minds here? They take seriously he may have been stabbed, check, find out he was lying, arrest him for racism, etc. and then are fired for delaying arrest? Seems like their ego got in the way of their duty.

The footage of the police interaction with Henry Nowak must be released. The response by the force highlights serious concerns about negligence and prioritisation at the scene. Every officer involved should be held fully accountable for their actions that night.

@HantsPolice @smg1664 So much for 'my word against yours'.

@smg1664 Our officers were misled at the scene, including denial of weapon use. They quickly switched to life-saving aid within minutes but, as laid out in our statement, the medical evidence shows that the injuries were not survivable. A very sad case, our thoughts are with his family.

Today, a man has been convicted of the murder of student Henry Nowak in Southampton. Throughout the trial, we have not discussed this case publicly to ensure that justice could be done but now we can share a message from DCC Robert France. orlo.uk/nTX43

@ArchRose90 The crazy part is, if he'd rung the police and said the same thing, and the police had replied with the same answer, there'd be more outrage. Now ask yourself why that is.

For me, this is the most striking part of Henry Nowak’s unjustified treatment: Henry: “I have been stabbed” Officer: “I don’t think you have, mate” The only appropriate response is to ask where & immediately take a look. He was clearly unfit to be an officer in the first place.

@AntSpeaks Could be a new police policy - if someone says they need medical assistance but has been accused of racism, check if they really need medical assistance first.

Vickrum Digwa, 23, has been found GUILTY of the murder of Henry Nowak. The jury rejected the defence’s claim that Digwa acted in self-defence during the attack. It has also been reported that police have apologised for initially treating the victim as a racist suspect following the stabbing. An apology is not enough. The officers involved should be held accountable too. Their treatment of Henry was disgraceful, and if they had done their job properly instead of immediately pushing that narrative, there is every chance Henry might still be alive today.

@Dantaniean @Ru68128Me No, I’ll do as I please. I’m not in communist China. Thanks.

@rkid_andy @Ru68128Me You should heed your own advice, because your comments are putting them in danger.

There is no country called Taiwan, it is a province of China.

@Suttisan78 @KhaosodEnglish Whoopty-fuckin'-doo.

@KhaosodEnglish There are foreigners doing perfume promotions there too, been there a while.

Infinity Medical Clinic has apologised and dismissed the entire event team involved after public backlash over aggressive sales tactics at a shopping mall in Bangkok’s Rama IX area. The controversy erupted after a social media user posted photos showing nearly 10 staff members allegedly blocking escalator entrances while pressuring shoppers to buy beauty treatment packages, prompting complaints that people could “barely walk through” the area. In a statement, the clinic admitted some promotional staff behaved inappropriately and went beyond acceptable standards of service. The company said it had immediately removed the team responsible and cancelled all promotional booth activities at its Central Rama 9 branch effective immediately. #Thailand #Bangkok

@actsmaniac The CCP don't even tolerate their citizens who look like Xi. Pathetic little regime. nytimes.com/2020/06/29/wor…

what's crazy is that it's now literally confirmed that China funds leftist influencers who agitate against economic growth and industrial investment. Do you think they would tolerate such a thing in their own domestic politics? Absolutely not. But it's what someone would do who wants to weaken the economic development and political unity of the West. Funding left-wing infrastructure that pushes "de-growth" narratives, eco-paralysis, and anti-industrial agitation in the West is an incredibly high-ROI play for an adversarial state.

@Dantaniean @Ru68128Me Whatever. Keep roll playing. Just keep out of Taiwan.

@rkid_andy @Ru68128Me I am leaving China and Taiwan alone. The Status Quo is the only thing that is avoiding conflict in the area and calling for Taiwan's independence is threatening the security of China, something both take very seriously.
