A warrant is executed in attempt to intimidate a 98 years old co-owner of local newspaper for investigating and exposing the local police chief sexual misconduct in his previous job. Everyone who works at newspaper were served a warrant and later withdraw.
In the long run, foreign buyers would cut back on their exposure to T-bill due to the risk of holding such assets.
EU and the US banks are bigger borrowers than China as they are desperate for cash for replacing those ultra cheap loan from the central banks.

It's always those lowest on the totem pole of racial supremacy who are its most ardent defenders and champions: looking at the specimens ofI have seen this a lot from far right westerners that russia is this promised land where European culture is preserved.
I can still remember some Italian white supremacist visiting moscos and a couple of middle eastern Muslims thought he was also a middle eastern Muslim...
The Anglos have got to the most hypocritical sanctimonious race to have ever graced human history. These Tibetans can rest easy knowing the Chinese government preserves their language and culture unlike the USG and Canadian gov. which raped and murdered native Americans in boarding schools and reservations and did the same to fellow Europeans as well in forcing Norwegian and German immigrants to become Anglo and forcing them to speak English.
I guess USA really thinking about a 3 or 4-front war now.

Washington's allies, like Japan and South Korea, “need to deter and potentially defeat a second adversary when you’re in conflict with the first,” he said.Earlier this year, Australian Police about scams targeting Mandarin-speaking Chinese students. These scams often involve fake information being provided to victims in order to extort money from them, police say.
Victims are allegedly threatened by people falsely claiming to be Chinese government officials or police, and asking for large sums of money to be transferred in order to prevent the victim being charged or deported.

Fighting a 3-front war against Panama and Grenada is one thing, against China and Russia is another. Today's America doesn't really look like that it is capable of fighting a 3 or 4-front war, despite the daydream of neoconservatives.
Carl Zha is right, this is just due to the Fed's recent rate hike and the relative strengthening of the US dollar.
One the other hand, this chart is an indictment of America's trajectory over the past decades.
Finally, per David P. Goldman: RMB is more stable than euro and Japanese yen.
Yeah, they should treat Tibetans like democratic India does, keep them poor, stateless, sweater knitters!
I don’t think there is anything wrong with language education in the “national language” (+10 pts if you get the double meaning). There has to be some kind of unified form of communication for a large country. Whether that be Mandarin or English. How farcical would we find a Global Times article that lambasted teaching English at a public school in NYC Chinatown? It would be stupid beyond belief. But this is what the #3 guy in the US government is basically going on record as saying.
Some other points…
Again, pretty stupid to make these boarding schools out to be some kind of Cultural genocide thing. These are just a feature of rural China, even for Han. It’s a solution to a difficult problem. You can either build a decent boarding school in a more populated town, or you can build a bunch of sh*t schools in the middle of nowhere like America does. The trade off is less parental contact for better quality education. There’s no perfect solution.
The article also mentions being forced from “traditional rural life” into vocational training. This is a joke. The “traditional rural life” that I saw in some videos from a friend who does work in these kinds of areas is an unimaginable poverty that we cannot understand as we type out our posts from $1000 cell phones and drive Teslas. Collecting kindling for heating, subsistence farming, etc. For us here, we might grow vegetables for fun and if we suck it’s just a joke. For them, they f*cking starve.
A big reason why many poor villagers are “forced” (applies to all over rural China, not just Tibet, and I would put it as “guided”) to vocational training is because it yields immediate economic benefit to the rural poor. They are going to be making in a month in a factory what they probably made in a whole year before. Second, it is extremely difficult to explain to people coming from such extreme impoverishment (and basically no exposure to the modern economy) how something like university education can pay off in the long term. The hope is that by getting these people vocational training, they will learn by exposure to more developed cities and hopefully encourage the next generation (or younger family) to seek higher education.
A lot of this info can also be gleaned from poverty alleviation videos from Chinese media.
