Filipinos are more than willing to lick the floor Americans walk on. If the Philippines was situated close to America similar to Equador, Mexico then you'd see hordes of these folks breaking into the U.S. border.
I agree. China should not bother with the vassals, it should speak directly to their overlords. If it already wishes to maintain contact with Europe, it should insist on meeting up strictly with the representatives of individual European countries. EU&NATO bureaucrats do not deserve to be acknowledged.
I like this part of Fu Cong's comment
“Whoever wrote that speech for President von der Leyen does not really understand China or deliberately distorted Chinese positions,” he added.
It is like saying "She did not mean to say what she just said" or worse "She didn't know what she was saying." Is Fu Cong trying to emphasize that Von der Leyen is just a puppet, a record player, a tape recorder? Whatever intention Fu had, it is a good mockery.
These are marketing lists but it helps people in underdevelop world what is best school or best engineers countries so they can start researching where they want to study or work. since overhelming majority of people are likely going to West it does serve a purpose. The reason i brought Moscow transit was when 2018 FIFA happened. Russia gave visa free entry for Fan ID with extended stay and on top of that alot of the population from CIS countries entered for work in service industry. The aviation (5 airports in Moscow) and transport sector of Russia is designed such that every thing practically touch Moscow for connections. so not just teams supporters with base camps in Moscow but every one was using that public transport for one reason or another and the system worked on high capacity far longer. The improvement done in that system took into account 2018 experience as every thing was recorded.
It is highly unlikely San Francisco can have better public transit. they cannot make anything in California and even if they buy from outside they will not be able to operate and maintain it to high standards and they will not even know how to design best system. The self develop human capital is not there in Californa. California constantly need new blood from outside to create new business or run already established business for which it need to give high salaries which require money printing. If today Fed announce that only IPO that will succeed which are HQ in Florida. All this venture capital will flee.
This person message from Miami is that we have the right politics. the conference was around Republicans. i am sure they are aware of things.
Why would Beijing waste time with pinhead Ursula Von Der Leyen? She said "How China continues to interact with Putin’s war will be a determining factor for EU-China relations going forward."
China holds more leverages, it can't be threatened & blackmailed.

Japan pushes Philippines, US to form anti-China security framework
- The proposal to set up a 3-way framework was put forward by Tokyo to boost deterrence against Beijing and prepare for a potential crisis over Taiwan
- Japanese and US officials reportedly want to expand the framework beyond dialogue to trilateral defence cooperation and exercises in the near future

, the and the plan to set up a trilateral framework involving their national security advisers, officials familiar with the matter said recently, amid China’s growing military assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region.
Their first discussions under the new scheme may take place as early as April, said Eduardo Ano, security adviser to Philippine President . Ano said he is “willing to attend” the meeting although details, including which country will host the talks, remain fluid.
An aide to Ano separately disclosed on Friday that the proposal to initiate a three-way security dialogue was put forward by Japan which, with the US, believes that forging closer ties with the Philippines is essential for boosting deterrence against Beijing and preparing for a potential crisis over .
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and his Japanese counterpart Takeo Akiba are expected to be the two other representatives at the envisioned meeting, according to a US government source.
The so-called two-plus-two talks between the two countries will be convened for the first time since January 2016, signalling that the administration of Marcos Jnr continues to pursue a different foreign policy approach from his predecessor, .
Duterte, who held office for six years until June 2022, repeatedly threatened to sever the Philippines’ long-time security ties with the US and often ignored China’s illegal incursions in the .
Beijing claims almost all of the South China Sea, but the Philippines, several other Southeast Asian countries and Taiwan have overlapping claims - Kyodo writer omits the important fact that Republic of China's claim is in fact the same, if not more than People's Republic of China.
The question must be asked: What sort of strategic calculus and considerations that current Philippine President learned that his most recent foreign policy actions has clearly been antagonistic towards China. Where is he getting this misplaced bravery when every defense publications like Global Firepower Project (GFP) ranked the Philippines 140 meaning last in almost every important criteria that requires for a country to fight in high intensity warfare. His country does not possess any fighter planes that can interdict possible PLAN/PLAAF into his country if and when America goes to war with China. His country lacks the necessary SAM and defense shield against any and all possible missile attacks not to mention hypersonic attacks on his country. The man did not even bargain hard for his country to receive any guarantee in terms of $$ for his country's military modernization, economic guarantee in terms of loans, investments in many important sectors of his country that badly needed reform.
His country is surrounded by imbeciles and pretend genius like this super arrogant and super dumb academic half-Iranian Richard Haydarian (the man more than likely works for U.S. interests since he larps for ASPI Australia) Check out his latest "out of this universe insights on this particular topic:
If the Philippines is trying to intimidate China by jumping so lavishly with U.S. and now JAPAN then it's simply the quickest way to embolden and galvanize domestic support in China to take a hard line approach against the stupidity of the Philippine government.

I wonder how long Poland can play being US’s bit@h when things like this is happening. Cut themselves off from Russia like this and ultimately isolate themselves from other energy providers, well I wonder, does it pay to be a Nazi supporter and by extension, how’s the UK doing with the same issues except worse given that without the Queen, well the UK name is basically poison now
Cancel the trip of that EU fascist. China need to have some self respect. Stop appeasing these sinophobes.
