❗Trump MOCKS Italy's PM Meloni, saying she 'BEGGED for a photo' — Reuters 'I wouldn't have taken it, but I FELT SORRY for her… She's probably happy I talked to her. I didn't have to talk to her,' said Trump in interview to La7 TV channel

Just caught up the India/China Twitter spat where Indian twitter calling China also has a caste system (it does not). The weird psychological / logic question one has to ask is - why this group of Indians think it’s an insult to claim China was like them?

Another super high-speed rail hub station in China is set to open this month — Xi'an East Railway Station. The station costs RMB 17 billion ( $2.5 billion). It means 2.8 days of US war spending in Iran is enough to build this grand station.

Foreigners in China 😂🥰

This Indian girl goes to China and insults the country and its people in her own Hindi language. A few days ago, I saw a similar video where an Indian guy was abusing people in his own language. What absolute duffers! When they get hatred in return, they start crying about racism.

Iran and China spent millennia as neighboring great empires and never attacked each other. The so-called "free world" is free from ethics, free from shame, and free to bomb without accountability. Its new masters are vulgar plutocrats masquerading as visionaries; men of no talent, no shame, elevated by aggression alone. Fortunately, Iran and China stand outside this hollowness.

⚡️JUST IN: Chinese Foreign Ministry says cooperation with Iran will deepen "China and Iran are comprehensive strategic partners and will continue to advance their comprehensive strategic partnership ($400 billion)"

⏱️ 2-minutes read The most important war in modern Asian history wasn’t Vietnam or the Pacific War. It was the Korean War. When the guns fell silent in 1953, Asia’s future was rewritten. In the years before the conflict, East Asia lay in chaos. Japan was still recovering from defeat in 1945, China had just emerged from a brutal civil war in 1949, and Korea remained a divided nation. Most Western observers expected communism to keep sweeping across the continent. Then, on June 25, 1950, North Korea crossed the artificial 38th Parallel. What followed was one of the Cold War’s deadliest conflicts. More than three million people died as the United States led a UN coalition, China sent hundreds of thousands of troops, and Soviet pilots flew secret combat missions. For the first time, the Communist bloc and the Western alliance clashed directly on the battlefield. The war ended not in victory for either side, but in a grim strategic stalemate. Yet that stalemate changed everything. The Korean War convinced Washington that Asia had become the central front of the Cold War. American military spending surged, and U.S. troops took up permanent positions in South Korea, Japan, and across the Pacific. Japan emerged as one of the biggest winners. Flooded with U.S. procurement orders worth billions in today’s dollars, Japanese factories roared back to life. These contracts helped ignite the country’s postwar economic miracle, lifting it from devastation in 1945 to the world’s second-largest economy by 1968. South Korea’s transformation was even more dramatic. In the 1950s it was poorer than many African and Latin American nations. Today it ranks among the world’s leading technological powers, home to Samsung, Hyundai, LG, and a thriving high-income democracy. Its survival reshaped the entire economic future of Northeast Asia. The war also transformed China. Mao Zedong’s bold decision to intervene--just one year after founding the People’s Republic--established Beijing as a major military power. By fighting the United States to a standstill, China gained both international respect and a lasting pillar of its national identity and strategic doctrine. North Korea drew a darker lesson. The war’s destruction and heavy reliance on foreign allies deepened its siege mentality, feeding an obsession with self-reliance that eventually led to its nuclear program. Even today’s most dangerous flashpoints trace their roots to those three years: the U.S.–South Korea alliance, America’s military presence in Japan, China’s concerns over U.S. forces near its borders, North Korea’s nuclear arsenal, and the fragile balance of power in the Western Pacific. All are direct legacies of decisions made between 1950 and 1953. Technically, the Korean War never ended. Only an armistice was signed on July 27, 1953, no peace treaty followed. Seventy-three years later, the last active front line of the Cold War still cuts through the Korean Peninsula. If North Korea had conquered the South in 1950, would Asia today be dominated by Beijing and Pyongyang or would an entirely different power have risen to shape the region?

⏱️ 2-minutes read The most dangerous weapon China has built wasn't a battleship, aircraft carrier, or nuclear missile, it was a strategy engineered to make the U.S. Navy doubt it could safely operate in the Western Pacific. For over 150 years, great powers projected strength the same way: by commanding the seas. The British Empire ruled global trade through maritime dominance. The United States inherited that mantle after 1945, with carrier strike groups acting as sovereign territory capable of delivering overwhelming power anywhere on the planet. China studied this history and recognized it could never win a symmetrical ship-for-ship arms race against the U.S. So it chose a radically different path. After the swift U.S. victory in the 1991 Gulf War and the humiliating 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis -- when two American carrier battle groups operated near Taiwan with impunity -- Beijing vowed it would never again be so powerless. Rather than simply copying the U.S. model, China poured resources into Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD): a layered system of long-range precision missiles, quiet submarines, advanced air defenses, satellite networks, cyber/electronic warfare, and radar coverage spanning the First Island Chain. The most visible symbols are the DF-21D “carrier killer” and the DF-26, capable of striking ships more than 4,000 km away. For the first time since World War II, American carrier groups faced an adversary that had deliberately built a system to hunt them. Today, that strategy has delivered results: China now operates the world’s largest navy by number of hulls. Its fleet of smaller, missile-laden corvettes, frigates, and destroyers gives it massive local superiority in its home waters -- exactly where A2/AD makes those numbers most lethal. This is why the islands matter. The South China Sea is far more than reefs and rocks -- roughly one-third of global maritime trade flows through these waters. Control the chokepoints, and you control leverage over the world’s supply chains and military movements. China’s artificial island bases, missile sites, and growing fleet are all part of one integrated strategy. At its heart, this isn’t only about Taiwan, it is the latest round in history’s oldest great-power contest: sea powers versus continental powers. Athens vs. Sparta. Britain vs. Imperial Germany. America vs. the Soviet Union. Today, it’s America’s maritime order confronting China’s push to shove that order away from its shores. Washington’s real fear is that A2/AD -- backed by sheer numbers in the near seas -- undermines the foundation of U.S. power: the ability to project force anywhere, anytime. China doesn’t need to defeat the U.S. Navy in a global blue-water war. It only needs to make intervention in its backyard uncertain. And in geopolitics, uncertainty can be decisive. If a Taiwan crisis erupted tomorrow, would the United States still risk sending carrier groups into waters saturated with Chinese missiles... and defended by the world’s largest fleet?

Foreigners living in China have invented a slang phrase. “There are two jokes in the world. America: We are a developed country. China: We are a developing country.”

日本と違って、中国は街並も食文化も地域差が大きいから何度も行きたくなるんですよね。 寝台列車で声がデカいおばさんと同室になったんだけど、見知らぬ私にいきなりキュウリ食うかって差し出されて、イライラが一気に吹き飛んだ。近すぎる人間関係が中国のいいところなんだよね。

中国に行くたびに行きたい場所が減っていくな、と思ってたんですけど、実際のところは中国に行くたびに行きたい場所が指数関数的に増えてるんですよね。怖いですね。 何が怖いって、歩道を走る電動バイクが怖いですね。

もう日本は駄目なのかなと思うことも毎日のようにある　経済もボロボロ、技術も金もない、出生率も低い、将来性なし　そこから目を逸らすように外国人や中国を敵に見立てて差別や攻撃することを国が煽ってる　平和憲法ぐらいしかもう取り柄がないのにそれすら捨てようとしているなんてなー…
