Nah, apology is no use now. She gave China a nice excuse to do this, this move is absolutely huge and the intention is to de-militarize/de-industrialize Japan, you don't fire a bazooka like this and take it back once they say sorry.

Her last chance to apologize was two days ago. Now she can only chose to retaliate, then we get to see more escalation from China. I'm looking forward to total embargo.

In my mind, this is all a prelude to war.

Granted, the war might not come, still this is how it goes. Step by step.

The PRC has had enough. This march to war is set in motion.

These economic restrictions, that is past the point of no return.

It was past the point of no return when Trump and Xi had over 100% tariffs against each other, but they were only kidding.

China does not kid around with Japan. How the Americans feel about that, does not matter.

China will do a Mao Zedong and take on all those mother fuckers.

Japan is still America's dog. China does not give a fuck about that.

Does China have an equivalent like the Orenshik? Hypersonic speed with MIRV are the game changer. No defense system can shoot it down.

Didn't you watch the military parade a few months ago?

Well, you know, I really thought all those ideas floating around that the Americans are close to civil war, were all crazy people talk.

Now, I know, I am completely wrong.

A civil war is a real possibility now.

All they have to do is put some military on the street, such as the Minnesota government has promised to mobilize the National Guard, and what if an ICE Agent takes a shot at them? Or better yet, some false flag, and the shooting starts. One side of the government, fighting another side of the government on the streets. That is technically a civil war.

I saw a TikTok video, where the Police Chief of Chicago, at her new conference had told the press that they will arrest ICE agents if they break the law. Whatever that means.

Everything is there. All the gunpowder is packed into place.

Just need a spark, for one group to shoot at the other group.

This seems to be a potentially very dangerous situation.

Normally, at topic I would like to inflame the discussion just for laughs, but not this time. This seems gravely serious.

I never understood why China did not do this to their enemies.

That is so stupid. China has the tech. Go destroy them on the internet.

They are trying to destroy you.

I mean wasn't Hu Jintao somewhat pro western with the CCP at that team being somewhat westernized.

I don't believe that at all.

It is all propaganda to me. Making it sound like Chinese can only be "Westernized" and cannot be ourselves.

Deng Xiaoping studied and actually worked in France. Is he Westernized?

Zhou Enlai studied aboard including in Europe. Is he Westernized?

I think that term is rather contemptuous.

There are sellouts. But to use the term Westernized randomly and continuously, is like saying everyone is a sellout.

Er, no.

No thanks.

Nah the state will fold.
First of all, it's Israel who wants ICE, and Israel is above all.
And let's not forgot before ICE came along their cops were murdering civilians on the street just the same.
They're not going to kill each other to fight over who gets to kill their own people.

Trump has gotten Venezuela. Now he badly wants Greenland. And Europe is still debating about Ukraine.

If Trump can really get Greenland, then Canada, you're next!

There is nothing the Europeans and Denmark can do if Trump wants to take Greenland. Denmark and the EU will just have to bend over and take it up the ass by daddy Trump without lube. The U.S has always wanted Greenland, and have in the past attempted to buy the island twice in 1867 and after WWII. Both times failed, but with how the geopolitical climate is evolving at an accelerated rate, the U.S may force Denmark and the Europeans to capitulate to a sale price, or the U.S will take it by force. The U.S is trying to build a sustainable independent supply chain, and resources such as Venezuela oil, iron ore, natural gas, and rare earths in Greenland, and the future Artic passage in the Northern sea route as the climate warms will also expose even more oil and gas reserves of which the U. S will need to help supply cheap energy and materials for reindustrialization. Not to mention, new exposed landmass in the Artic will also be an area of contention, which, with the acquisition of Greenland, will give the U.S a legitimate contention to expand physically, militarily, and economically into the Artic as it thaws. This will help the U.S secure resources it needs to fuel both its economy and military and to also keep those resources away from rival powers like China and Russia, and even the EU-- the Artic is part of the new Great Game of the 21st century, similar to what the Great Game of the 19th and 20th century was in Central Asia.

Pakistan is becoming popular these days. Far from a failed state which proclaimed by India.

I feel like the establishment of Luckin and Mixue in the US are very bad economic signs. This is not the 2010’s when Chinese companies were trying to show off by expanding to the US, but rather a new era of actual business sense. If these companies like Luckin and Mixue that are known for low cost treats are expanding into the US, it means they have identified a population that can no longer afford Starbucks or Baskin Robbins.

I was in America recently.

Those dollar stores are like proper supermarkets. I was buying a $1 notepad, and the obese guy in line in front of me was getting his groceries. There was meat, and these dollar stores had entire freezer sections. Hard to believe.

Then, on the outside of the dollar store, obviously someone defecated on the side of the building. Just like what we see in Toronto. I got back in the rental car and left, driving off.

Other than that, the other interesting thing I saw, at least I found it interesting, I had nothing to do so I wandered into this antique flea market.

Once inside, I was confronted immediately with Chinese objects, like there were a lot of porcelain, jade, and other ornaments. Very surprising and very interesting.

Check this out.

They claimed that this was an official's chair from the Qing Dynasty, and the price tag was $1500 USD.




That was very interesting that antique flea market. I was the only Chinese person within miles of that place, yet I was surrounded by Chinese things. Deep inside middle class America. LOL.
