Seems like bit of drama between DPP and daddy as of late. If you've been following Taiwan news you know that also recently Mainland Affairs Council rejected 92 Consensus. Naturally the first reaction of most people are it's another step towards Taiwan Independence.

But consider this: what if it's not, and instead this is an attack against KMT and trying to remove the last card they hold. 92 Consensus was KMT's calling card and so to have a countering political philosophy DPP wrote Taiwan Independence into their party constitution. Now that DPP is triumphant and KMT is politically irrelevant that move might have served its political purpose. What if as we speak, DPP is talking to CPC to draft a replacement, a "22 Consensus" as it were?

If it was you and 22 Consensus offered by DPP is broadly the same as 92 Consensus, would you make that deal?
Depends on if DPP promises to declare independence before 2027. If they do then yes, otherwise they are just fake Taiwan independence like KMT.

Chinese, Russian cenbanks to discuss use of national payment systems​


May 5 (Reuters) - The Chinese and Russian central banks will discuss the use and promotion of their respective national payment systems in both countries, Beijing's envoy to Moscow told the TASS news agency in an interview published on Thursday.

"Regarding the promotion and use of the Mir and China UnionPay national payment systems in both countries, this question will be decided by the two sides' central banks at consultations," Zhang Hanhui said.

Mir and UnionPay are among the few options left for Russians to make payments abroad since Russian banks were isolated from the global financial system in response to what Moscow calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine.

are among the many Western companies to have suspended operations in Russia.
China has refused to condemn Russia's actions in Ukraine and has criticized the unprecedented Western sanctions on Moscow. The two countries have bolstered ties in recent years, including announcing a "no limits" partnership in February.

The ambassador said China would make use of a clearing bank for operations in yuan on Russian territory to ensure the sustainable development of national trade, which Russia expects to reach $200 billion by 2024.

He also said that China and Russia were not advocating for the rejection of U.S. dollar and euro settlements in bilateral trade.
So was that UnionPay leaving Russia news just western Hopium or just a way for Russia and China centralbanks to say wait a minute guys we need to streamline laws?

From David Kang a Korean American professor video from a year ago, In summary throughout the century before the European imperialism arrived China is a stabilizer in the region Period!!! and in East Asia (Sino sphere) where he included Vietnam they acknowledge China as the top dog. They never follow the American logic of China threat, even Japan , for all its pretension can lived with a strong China and maybe prosper under it. :cool:

Definitely, and seek a military treaty that allows PLA to be stationed on Taiwan territory in exchange for protection of Taiwanese fishing boats and islands. We should seek whatever options to keep the peace within the South East Asia region and prevent the West from pulling a "Ukraine" in the region, better we spend our limited time and resources on improving our economy, adapting to climate change and furthering the interest of humanity as a whole.
For this, I wish there are pro-Beijing agents in high/leadership positions in the Taiwanese military who they could pull a coup de tat, overthrow and arrest the pro-Washington government, and secure Taiwan's peaceful reunification with the PRC, while calling for the PLA to immediately station their troops on the island in order to maintain societal peace and order.

All of these must be done before any outside forces could even have a chance to interfere.

Of course, this could only be my pipe dream...

Clown. Btw thats the EU's head diplomat

"Speech on behalf of @JosepBorrellF tonight says "multiple reports continue to provide very credible evidence of organ harvesting in China"

"The EU condemns in strongest possible terms the criminal, inhumane, unethical practice of forced organ harvesting"


China really need to just stop recognising even the existence of the EU and only have direct bilateral engagement with individual EU member states instead.
