russia is planning to block black sea
Looks like things are moving towards open warfare in ukraine
Which is good for China, the us will be distracted and hopefully unable to focus on taiwan
Big escalation if true.I wonder what has given Russia so much confidence?

What sort of guarantees did they get from China?

I think this is a shame. Wen was not an outspoken reformist/liberal and rarely did or said anything that contradicted the Party's wider positions. Where he sought to push for a change of direction it was reasonable and subtle, or would have been behind closed doors.

If even a former Prime Minister cannot be allowed to write something that could be interpreted as criticism of the Standing Committee/Politburo, how can there be any debate within the Party?

Probably because of this:
"In my mind, China should be a country full of fairness and justice, always with a respect for the will of the people, humanity, and human nature," said Wen's article
Seems to be advocating Western/US ideas. Didn't say anything about development but he explicitly mentioned a (seemingly individual)human-centered approach. This is clearly against the current approach that China is taking which is development first.

If he wanted, he could phrase it in such a way to avoid censorship but I guess he wanted to make a point

"Felt she was in danger and called the police"
"But when officers arrived, an officer shot the girl dead."

Man, have Americans not learned that they should not call the police.
If I was them, unless I was pointed by a gun from a murderer I would stay away from the police

The police are all thugs.

RIP to the girl, I hope she gets justice

Lmao, is that how they are planning to play off Russia against China and vice versa ?

Do they really think that Putin and Xi have a 9 year old IQ ? Lol i see now why they are failing so much, pls sanction Russia more. I am sure that will make Russia love the West more haha
And if one reads carefully, sentence over sentence, there are many broken lines. Unbelievable for a publication like this, part of the Washington Post Company (now Graham Holdings Company) since 2008.

Being neighbor sharing very long common land border, over 4,200 kilometers, a close cooperation among many others also means each can safeguard the other's back-end, so each just needs to focus its resources on the other side... not to say the logistical support if it's ever needed :D

Whatsoever, it again shows that the Empire definitely cannot handle the close cooperation, let alone alliance, of China and Russia. And no other combinations within the US pockets can handle this Eurasian Combo!

Kind of a good thing to happen. China should never spend a dime on nations that dont respect them esp Western ones. 1000s of other areas where the money can be diverted to instead.
Such a shunning example of what a ‘rule of law’ country looks like, declaring past deals ‘unlawful’ retrospectively because of a new National interest law only just passed.

I would say China needs to cite this behaviour as a reason for why it will demand exorbitant penalty clauses and ruinous collateral demands on any future deals struck with Australian government(s) and pass laws requiring the same on any and all commercial deals Chinese companies strike with Australian companies.

A blessing in disguise. Australia is the ass end of the world (repeating ex-PM Paul Keating's words), besides iron ore in western Aust, they don't have anything else of value. China shouldn't touch Australian infrastructure with a 10-foot pole, it will be money down the toilet.
