Can anyone here provide context into this alleged banning of Ramzan fasting in China as reported here:

Okay, I know that everyone knows that most of us are not Muslims.

The fasting during this month should only occur from dawn to dusk, after that I think you are allowed to eat. Drinking water is okay during that time.

For the godless and soulless Chinese communist party, not sure how this can be done?

What are you going to do? Round up people at gunpoint force them into buses driving straight the local buffet? Really torture them captured Muslims by taking them to an all-you-can-eat place?

People would be volunteering to be Muslim, or convert immediately.

They can sign the paperwork later.



Okay, I only watch 15 seconds of the news report, and I thought it was nuts.

Will watch the whole thing now.

Wuhoo! Saturday night, here I come!

Mark Swidan was caught selling ~64 kilograms of crystal meth and ~366 grams of other kinds of drugs in China. China's death penalty starts at a mere 50 grams of drug trade.

Why do some of these people (especially those from the West, sorry to be direct) believe that they still have some kind of extraterritoriality rights in the "uncivilized" rest of the world like in the 1900s?

64 KILO's?! Yeeeaaah, that's not for personal use. As for this entitlement that you speak of, it happens when you've been accustomed to being Top Dog for at least a couple of centuries. It's all subconscious.

What did you expect, for Chinese diplomats to tell VDL to go f*ck herself? That's not how any of this works.

True. In the end nothing changed as China's FM met with his Russian counterpart later that day. But, telling someone off that's hostile to you may be unprofessional but there are many that would find it satisfying.



[Edit: Removed comment as someone later posted that a smoke bomb was used in Japan.]

Someone (likely Israel) is attempting to undo China's success in getting a peace deal between Saudia Arabia and Iran. Peace in the Middle East is not acceptable to them.

Blinken asked again for a trip to Beijing and once again was told no.

I wonder if they realize letting this news out makes them look weak?

Dennis Wilder, a former Asia adviser to George W Bush, said there was a “good chance” Beijing would not give the green light while uncertainty about the FBI report remained.

“In many ways, we are more eager for this visit than they are,” he said. “They don’t have the incentive to make this visit happen quickly. In that sense, for the Chinese, the downsides of waiting are not great.”

China “continues to decline requests for engagement with the secretary of defence, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, [Indo-Pacific commander] Admiral [John] Aquilino, and other senior department of defence officials,” said Martin Meiners, a Pentagon spokesperson.

Before meeting with Annalena Baerbock, FM Qin Gang attended a meeting for Afghanistan with foreign ministers from Russia, Iran, Pakistan in Uzbekistan. It does seem like both Xi and Qin Gang have a very busy schedule and working towards achieving some strategic gains in the next months.

China Says Philippines’ Base Decision Stoking Taiwan Tensions​

(Bloomberg) -- A Chinese envoy said the Philippines is “stoking the fire” over Taiwan’s independence by giving the US access to military sites near the Taiwan Strait under an expanded defense agreement.

While Manila has adhered to the one-China principle, the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines said the decision “has caused widespread and grave concern among Chinese people.” Huang Xilian was speaking Friday at a forum in Manila on China-Philippines relations.

"Obviously, the US intends to take advantage of the new EDCA sites to interfere in the situation across the Taiwan Strait to serve its geopolitical goals and advance its anti-China agenda,” Huang said. That’s at the expense of the Philippines and the region, he added.

Huang said China “will not renounce the use of force” and reserves “the option of taking all necessary measures” to guard against external interference and all separatist activities on the Taiwan issue.

Anglo Politician 1: I WILL ECONOMICALLY CONTAIN CHYNA!!!

Anglo Politician 2: I WILL CONTAIN CHYNA HARREDDER REEEE!!!!

Anglo Media: This is how Chyna will be contained!!!

Anglo Media(the next second): It would appear the SeeSeePee have convinced the Chinese people that the west is hostile and trying to contain their economic development. How could they! Couldn't they see this is all for their own good???

The first thing you'd need to understand about Anglo discourse is that they do not give the slightest shit about 99.999% of reality or anyone in particular.

They'll unironically drop bombs on people and turn around to say, "Can't you see this is done for your own good? Why are you fighting back?" The opinion of the 99.999% from a country has no value to them, they will hear the half of dozen of sycophants in their country and believe they are the only people that matters.

This behaviour is only understandable when you read their holy book, the bible and see that this is exactly how their deity Yahweh behaves towards people, inflicting pain and suffering like Nurgle and Khorne and then turning around and saying “i love you, I’m only doing this because I love youl” (Song of songs).

Similarly, Anglo Atlanticists take on the behaviour and characteristics of their puritan forefathers and religious adherence (I dare say, had they stuck with their Germanic Saxon pagan deities there would have been more honesty and less gaslighting) And intimidate their subjects into silence.

LMAO. Deal with it.

Instead of bemoaning and complaining, they should feel thankful that China didn't send him straight to the firing range right after his initial sentencing.

Why do some of these people (especially those from the West, sorry to be direct) believe that they still have some kind of extraterritoriality rights in the "uncivilized" rest of the world like in the 1900s? This isn't just regarding China - countries with strict drug enforcement and heavy punishment against offenders like Singapore and Indonesia too often suffers from the same criticism from the West whenever they pass down capital punishment against Westerners caught bringing and selling drugs on their soil.

Just shut up and respect the local laws and rules. If you don't want to, just leave ffs.

Anglos still keep trying to traffick drugs into China like they thought they would become the next Sassoon.

How much longer before the Americans do something stupid just to get talks going, such as kidnapping another Chinese tech executive's daughter or something to that effect?
