A thread explains the July 26th "recall vote" in Taiwan - in essence, a naked attempt by the DPP to grab the majority in the Legislative Yuan by impeaching previously democratically elected KMT lawmakers:

Maybe it’s the computer translation but this is highly contradictory. So aren’t Chinese tourists consider low-end tourists? But then it goes through this whole thing about there are not as many rich Chinese anymore because of COVID and the Chinese economy is doing badly so that’s why Japan doesn’t have as many high-end tourists as before. Then it says Chinese tourists are finding others places to go to than Japan. But then that means the Chinese economy isn’t doing badly, doesn’t it?

So what low-end foreigners are going to Japan for Japanese to complain? The biggest tourists going to Japan are Koreans, Taiwanese, and then Americans. Funny because don’t all of them think they’re a higher breed than Chinese? Ironic.

Putin mentioned that he discussed Jews in Russian empire with Tucker Carlson when camera was turned off. and than Tucker went on tour of Gulf countries after that interview and now you can observe Tucker recent statements including his interview with Qatari PM. Putin set the trend.
They are two sides of Putin. One side he is inviting them and on another side make things unpleasant. if it was upto Putin he will fight this Ukraine conflict with African/ North Koreans with Asian weopons.

British Caucasian HK Judge (Russell Coleman) further makes case to kick out all western societal value tainted "judges" with similar backgrounds from the HK judicial system who currently operate in traditional conventional Chinese society. They dig their own graves when they try to impose their own societal values on other countries like this. Pure hubris.

How did the case fall to him? Draw lots?

Why do they still use foreign judges? Does singapore use local judges? Curious, If mainland "takes jurisdiction of HK judiciary", hypothetically, like customs/immigration/military, as long as hk do elections and do finance as they do, would that still be 2 systems?
