The most pathetic of HK rioters are new mainland immigrants. They go much harder than the well to-do nativists to show they now deserve to belong.

If I were in China's place, I'd just go, "Yeah, we'll declare that a military option for reunification is unacceptable" in exchange for a bunch of American swap supports and start domestic redistribution to become a big, happy Japan.

Guys, a group of European politicians are talking about human rights.
(that's it, that's the joke)
Quote Tweet
"We're willing to cooperate with our systemic rival – China – but cooperation cannot be a one-way street. [...] The focus on human rights is not an accessory for our foreign policy, it's at the centre of it" — @bueti, chair of the European Parliament's China delegation

You only hear about war crimes done to White people. Not controversial but White people get really mad about this.

China watcher discovers KMT for the first time
Quote Tweet
Now that the dust has settled on former Taiwan president Ma's China visit, I'm intrigued that he emphasized ROC over PRC. Ma wants to reduce cross-Strait tensions, & he reaffirmed 1992 Consensus, but ROC over PRC isn't going to win you any friends in Beijing. Quite the opposite.

Uncritical support for all the heroes of anti-missionary movements in China. Many sacrificed so a proper Boxer Rebellion could rise up.

The same China watchers have no problem parroting "US supports One China Policy" while advocating for Taiwan independence, what else is new?

Damage limitation on steroids:
"Amb Lu Shaye's remarks on the Ukraine issue were not a statement of politics, but an expression of personal views during a televised debate. They should not be subject to over-interpretation. China's position on relevant issues has not changed." twitter.com/laurnorman/sta…

Lithuania never joined the USSR. Moscow illegally occupied our territory, so we resisted until we restored our independence and the Red Army went back home.
We're not post-soviet, we're never-soviet.

If you want to maintain your lucrative job as a pundit for corporate TV news in the US, you're forbidden from accurately pointing out the US is *unilaterally* being aggressive and provocative towards China.
The most you're permitted to do is falsely blaming "both sides"
Quote Tweet
The US & China have embarked on one of the most hair-raising experiments in international history: Both sides are locked in an escalating geopolitical competition—and yet both are deeply economically intertwined.
Can these two trends continue, or will one of them give?
My take:

People will have the highest standards for enemy states but will have standards located in hell for countries they don't deem a threat. Mfers, Mongolia doesn't even pass the bare minimum for a decent society let alone something "vibrant".

"vibrant democracy" has always been a funny adjective/noun pairing, since it's only used to describe places like India (hindutva fascism), Japan (sclerotic one-party rule) and now Mongolia (world's largest open air mine)
Quote Tweet
One good thing the soviet union did was to guarantee mongolian independence and force china to accept it.Although im not denying they had ulterior motives for that also but the outcome imo is positive with an most vibrant democracy in east asia and not another "Autonomous region" twitter.com/aadilbrar/stat…

The glorification of Mongolia as a democracy completely ignores how people actually live there, oh yeah, it's worse than the West's favourite China's ghost city, Ordos.
Quote Tweet
also just to really hit this point home, Ghost City Ordos, yes that's in Inner Mongolia, has a ~70 billion GDP in 2021, so ~4.6x of Mongolia's GDP.

When 'an most vibrant democracy in East Asia' is one city of Ulaanbaatar surrounded by a ring of slums and 75%+ desertification
Meanwhile, capital city of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Hohhot, has 3x GDP as Mongolia the country in 2021.
