1. My guess is this is an attempt at the blockchain to do a digitalized currency. Tokens are the things of the blockchain I think.

2. Notice the trick here, that the United States does not want to do this blockchain alone, they want others to tag alone. This is the United States attempt to not have others run away from using the US Dollar.

3. Not sure if that is possible. Once the Euro currency came out, Europe started using it for trade. Once the blockchain is set up, then two countries change exchange money in whatever currency they like.

4. They are playing catch up to others. They are not leaders in this development, those central banks, just followers or laggards.

Indeed, it was due to the Jewish neocon infiltration that U.S. policy towards Ukraine and Russia led to the current war. It was obvious that ethnic hatred of Russia on the part of Madeline Albright, Nuland due to historical grievances against Russia played a part in US policy and eventually war On Russia.

Why would be every thing about Jews?. Why not Gulf Arabs who are there counter parts.
Origin of this Ukraine conflict you can even trace back to Crimea hand over to Ukraine or the creation of Soviet Union as mentioned by Putin in various interviews. but this does not change the fact that post 1990s very different set of elites came in Russia and Ukraine. Since Arabs have more Soft Power that Russian muslim elites wealth is not much discussed but they are behind many things like continuation of Libyan/Syrian conflict to connecting Artic to Persian Gulf . It is too shape the world for Arab order. These Russian Muslims do celebrate Gold and it is they who had horses on scale that I will be surprised even Arab Royals can compete with them.

This horse was bred in the 4th-7th centuries on the territory of the Arabian Peninsula and since then has been considered a source of pride and a faithful friend, indispensable both during long journeys and in conflicts.
2. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him!) left Mecca, he took with him several dozen horses. A huge desert lay on the path of the great prophet. When, after a long, exhausting journey, the traveler finally came across an oasis, the horses hastily rushed to the watering hole. The Prophet wanted to test the devotion of his animals, he called them to him. Exhausted from thirst, seven mares nevertheless came to their owner. The breed of purebred Arabian horses originates from these horses.

The establishment of Islam gave a gigantic impetus to the development of horse breeding in Arab countries, whereas before this period the Arabs used mainly camels, since they were the hardiest and strongest animals in desert conditions

Or time. SK is currently in a cope and seethe stage in regard to China's industrial rise eating away at their traditional market share.

Given time they will get used to their new economic status, in a decade or two they'll see it as the most natural thing ever. Of course China is going to be dominant in a vast number of industries given the pool of talent and resources. It is going to be pure good luck or good will from China to leave a few niche sectors for SK economy to thrive in, smart Koreans should think hard on how to foster a more beneficial future for them.

The arab lobby has nothing on the jewish lobby, especially after the oil embargos of the 70s. That meme around on twitter and elsewhere that shows how heavily concentrated in power jews are in the United States is not just an urban legend; in thoughts, deed and action, these individuals betray their true loyalty to the settler colonial state of Israel as opposed to their nation of residence.


China thanks Japan for being the bagholder of US Treasuries; this is like those crypto scams where traders need bagholders to provide exit liquidity.

How's this for China's response to the US and Blinken's trip?


Also sends a nice message to Europeans as some europeans try to sabotage Xi's upcoming trip to the EU.


The Chinese internet knows how to outmeme the american internet.

Anglo americans and Westerners in general should rejoice, they finally got the nemesis and rival they sorely needed.

This Milei guy is aiming this announcement as a bargaining chip against CHINA. It was known recently that he's been questioning that legality and utility of China's satellite remote sensing station and he wanted the facility for some "inspection."

In my opinion this high minded and noble talk of non-interferenfe will bite them in the ass big time. The Americans and political animals around the world don't operate in such unrealistic nonsense. They operate pragmatically or rather on whose side can offer them power = wealth to be embezzled. I mean, no one in the Global North believes that China doesn't meddle in their internal affairs. Just look at the press coverage in countries like the U.S. to Canada, and the U.K. to Germany in Europe and Australia. All of these countries are accusing China (without evidence) that it's meddling with their fragile Democracy. So why not actually MEDDLE in their politics to protect itself and its hard earned assets from being confiscated, abducted without any recourse other than making statements of indignation and righteousness.

You have to understand that Chinese principles not mere philosophical but are instead based on practical considerations first and foremost.

Philosophical ideals with no practical basis in reality is just pro-religious dogma and anathema to modern Chinese thinking.

The reasons China has adopted and maintains its non-interference policy are primarily two-fold.

The first is that foreign interference only works in the short term at the expense of the medium and long term.

Some hothead idiot like Milei is in power because of popular support. You can topple him, but that will piss off everyone that voted for the idiot who will only keep voting for more idiots like him.

Which is why more often than not, you become trapped in a vicious cycle of needing ever more interference to stop the blowback from your earlier interference crystallising. That kind of long term repression tend to lead to revolutions, which you will either need to let happen or sink more resources into suppression via military means. In which case best case you have a war ravaged failedstateon your boarder with all the crime and drug problems that comes with or revolutionary governments who violently hate your guys. Basically look up America’s who sorry track record on South America and you get the idea.

The second is capability. China doesn’t have the capability for effective large scale foreign interference because it doesn’t see the value in investing in that because of point one above.

China’s current approach might seem like it is getting taken advantage of a lot, but the reality is that China usually comes out ahead in the long run because once an idiot government inevitably fails, the population will change course due to all the hardships they have directly suffered (and which they could not remotely blame on China), and come back to China to ask for its forgiveness and assistance. Which China will magnanimously grant, but at the cost of the new regime making good all of China’s losses from its predecessor. That is often not explicitly stated to spare them the embarrassment, but it will be reflected in the fine print of the terms and conditions of new deals.

Why in the world did they not use a Chinese-American to translate for Blinken instead of a white-American that fumbled the translation. Don't tell me they only have that one Chinese-American lady (who tends to dye her hair purple) to do the translation for the entire state dept? Are there not enough Hanjians?

Maybe the interpreter in question makes up for her hearing deficiency with some other talent?

Why hasn't china lodged serious concerns about free speech violation in US universities where protesting against israel is ending up in mass arrests??

China should use this opportunity to highlight hypocrisy
