The New York Times accidentally revealed the moral bankruptcy of capitalism. China is making breakthroughs in cancer drugs, clinical trials, biotech research, and life-saving medicines. The first American reaction is not: “How many patients can this save?” It is: “Will this threaten U.S. dominance?” “Will American biotech lose its edge?” “Will Big Pharma struggle to keep up?” That tells you everything. In a sane world, better cancer drugs would be a human victory. In Washington’s world, even medicine becomes a battlefield the moment China helps people live. China’s biotech rise is not just about winning. It is about responsibility to a massive patient population that cannot wait for American monopolies, American prices, or American permission. Cancer patients do not care about U.S. dominance. They care about staying alive. And that is exactly why China cannot leave this field to America.

It is truly EYE-OPENING to talk to Iranians and get their point of view: . IRANIANS: You murdered Qasem Soleimani. U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law. IRANIANS: You bombed our peace talks in Qatar. U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law. IRANIANS: You murdered our govt members and their spouses and children. U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law. IRANIANS: You stole our ships and everything in them. U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law. IRANIANS: You made an unprovoked attack which killed more than 100 school kids. U.S./ ISRAEL: We don’t believe in international law. IRANIANS: We’re going to charge shipping fees so we can rebuild what you destroyed. U.S./ ISRAEL: YOU CAN’T DO THAT! INTERNATIONAL LAW!!!!

In 1950, China was 1 of the poorest nations in the world. Chinese per capita income was 1/3 of sub-Saharan Africa. Mao said let's plan to surpass the US after the 15th 5-year plan. This year China just started the 15th 5-year plan (2026-2030)

@AngelicaOung Another point is the unrest had spread to several other cities and protesters/rioters clashed with police or vandalised government buildings. Students took train rides without paying. To Deng or some of his peers, it was another cultural revolution coming.

Just in: Responding to reports that the Five Eyes alliance had accused China of recruiting so-called intelligence operatives, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press briefing that "as the world's largest intelligence-sharing alliance, the Five Eyes has long conducted large-scale and systematic espionage activities around the globe. For such an organization to accuse China of posing a so-called 'spy threat' is, in itself, highly ironic. "

In this elaborate “visual story”, the FT frets that Beijing’s investment in Xinjiang and Tibet is a problem because it means those regions are becoming more prosperous, which in turn makes it more difficult to foment unrest and engage in economic coercion. The authors claim to be concerned about the demolition of mosques and erasure of Uyghur culture and traditions. And yet China has over 35,000 mosques, nearly three times more per capita than the US. Meanwhile the FT’s sole source for the “detention of an estimated million Uyghurs” is a Human Rights Watch report that relies heavily on the comprehensively discredited reporting of Adrian Zenz and the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. The authors then worry about Tibet and Xinjiang being treated as a “resource frontier”. They neglect to mention that what’s being built in those areas is the world’s largest clean-energy base, exporting renewable power across China and into Southeast Asia. The central resources being “exploited” are the sun and the wind, and the world should be grateful that China is innovating on renewable energy to such an extraordinary degree. Western journalists used to claim that Xinjiang was close to outsiders and therefore the government was able to hide the terrible oppression taking place there. Now things have become more awkward, with the FT noting: “Xinjiang received a record 323mn tourists last year, compared to around 210mn before the pandemic, while Tibet saw about 70mn, a similarly sharp increase from 40mn in 2019.” The situation is this: Xinjiang borders eight countries and anchors the Belt and Road. Destabilising it – like the CIA’s long history backing Tibetan separatists – is about throwing China off-balance and suppressing its rise, not protecting human rights. These clowns are just worried that prosperity in Xinjiang and Tibet renders their sanctions and their destabilisation efforts useless.

主角看得唏嘘不已。是讲秦腔，也是讲改开初期艰难的二十年。三次“去深圳”的情节，但没有特别渲染走投无路出走的绝望。去深圳是“到延安去”，是朝圣，充满希望。经济发展给人以尊严。深圳值得更多尊敬宋师的形象很动人，是淳朴善良的中国老百姓最好的画像。老戏骨举重若轻，年轻人也可圈可点

The NYT describes Hezbollah drones "steadily hunting down Israeli soldiers and commanders... with often-lethal strikes" posted in "chilling videos." Israel has killed 115x more people in Lebanon (3,433 vs. 29) since the start of the war. The drones get "chilling." The 3,433 Lebanese dead don't even get a mention.
