This only works assuming Russia is indefinitely sanctioned… So, either we’ve just signed ourselves into a second Cold War, or the taxpayer will be responsible for repayment.

Considering that SinoVac was approved for use June 1st, 2021 and Biden was inaugurated January 20th, 2021…
Why hide covert actions if nobody cares?
Lmao this community is full of people who deepthroat the State Department and thank Blinken for the privilege.
Ironically, if she had used a Chinese hashtag she would’ve been fine. The state’s case hinges on #MeToo being a US-backed movement, just like #Pride.
LGBT and women’s rights activists in China are restricted from using foreign iconography and foreign slogans, but not from demonstrating. It’s absurd, but altogether a different issue than what the article makes it out to be.
Yemeni the absolute madlads
Would you prefer a report from Washington?
Canada not being a fuckwad on this for once.
Everyone thinks they’re above international bodies, but most don’t pretend that they don’t think so.
Exactly. The US decides when it wants to follow the rules it created.
Good riddance
My foreign interference
Your authoritarian stomping on freedom of speech
BYD made the most rich white suburban mom car in the world (Yangwang U8, look it up) and immediately got kicked out of the market lmao
Let me get this straight. Public universities (including the University of Minnesota, UT Austin, and others) are private property, despite receiving billions in government funding?
UT-Austin is public. University of Minnesota is public. Ohio State is public. All of these schools receive billions in government funding.
Spying from within public educational institutions feels rather counterintuitive. Chinese students weren’t getting security clearance anyway, so the only goal of their research is to be published in publicly viewable journals or conferences. This is a witch hunt.
I thought that the Philippines were explicitly denied the Spratly Islands in their treaty for independence with the US because the Philippines did not hold sovereignty over the Spratlys when they were a Spanish colony? I can understand China and Vietnam’s conflicting claims, but the Philippines sounds like they’re ignoring the first rule of UNCLOS: UNCLOS does not resolve issues of sovereignty and does not supercede existing sovereignty claims.
The Filipino claim on the Spratlys is completely nonsensical. By the same argument, Kinmen should also be Chinese. It’s stupid, insane, and just an opportunity to deflect from the very real territorial dispute between China/Taiwan and Vietnam.
David Cameron is in support of genocide.
Holy shit we might actually have a chance of beating back climate change. I never expected the sheer scale of Chinese photovoltaic expansion.
Regardless of what you think about the impacts of this on the economy, it’s undoubtedly good for the environment to have cheap electricity available to supplant expensive fossil fuels.
Considering Chinese companies like Tiktok have been more than happy to sign agreements where data is only transmitted and hosted in the US, with US DoD oversight…
