China is not going to commit regime change in Europe or North America. That would be a mercy. It's significantly more brutal to watch us slowly decline into disfunction and civilizational nihilism until we have learnt our lesson.

This is the key reason why 'liberal democracy' is no way to liberation for countries in the global south. You need a highly disciplined ruling party with a long-term vision in order to hold out for decades -- or longer if needed -- against Imperialist encirclement.
In a rejection of the Monroe Doctrine, Honduran president Xiomara Castro has declared the recent presidential elections null and void after Donald Trump attempted to influence the election by threatening sanctions against the country if right-wing candidate Nasry "Tito" Asfura

The United States, when the time comes, cannot complain if its oil tankers get seized and its crews arrested in international waters in accordance with the laws of other states. They're the ones who set the precedent for 'legal' piracy.
If you're wondering how cable news is reporting the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker, here's CNN saying, "This is absolutely normal."

Battling harsh winds, a snowy owl glides over the vast white expanse, its sharp eyes scouring the ground for prey. Once it spots a target, the owl moves in for a precise catch in Hulun Buir, north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Dude must have forgot he was committing major financial crimes in China, not the US or Israel.
China on Tuesday executed Bai Tianhui, former general manager of China Huarong International Holdings Limited, after being convicted of bribery. The execution was carried out by a court in north China's Tianjin Municipality, following the approval of the Supreme People's Court.

Once again, complete disinformation on China's *non-existent* social credit score. I researched this particular app, which I'd never heard of. It's called 老赖地图 (Laolai Ditu) and it's a WeChat mini-program launched by the Hebei Higher People's Court. So already it's not a

Thank God for hyper-industrialist states like China because this is the boring future of neoliberal capitalism. Not some cool blade runner shit, just a glorified elderly home for moribund civilizations.

Eles aqui na China têm pasteis de nata na maioria das pastelarias; aparentemente, por influência de Macau. Chamam-nas 葡式蛋挞 (Pú shì dàn tà: Portugal-Estilo-Ovo-Tarte). Mas, ao falar, muitas vezes eles abreviam e fica só 葡挞 "Pútà."

Germany is about to become the first major EU country to implement forced conscription. I can tell you this is going to lead to a backlash at least equivalent to the Vietnam draft but likely even more politically destabilizing.
JUST IN: Germany’s parliament has approved a new military service model. From 2027, all 18 year-old males must report for inspection. Military service remains voluntary but if the required number of recruits is not met, a so-called ‘needs-based conscription’ could apply.

Hey Jeffrey, why does Japan not allow the contents of this museum to be filmed?
A Chinese content creator filmed a video inside the Yushukan Museum on the grounds of the Yasukuni Shrine, so she could criticize its nationalist take on history. It has multi-lingual signs stating that filming & taking photos is prohibited. https://t.co/Cb1SHoSu9j
