Basically what this means is China's industries will recover quickly and efficiently from the recent Shanghai lockdowns. Thank you for your continued service to the motherland, Comrade reverse voodoo doll Chang.

A new whiny Western world order where mice roar like lions but don't have its bite calling for other mice to roar along with it. If it were all about principles they wouldn't crying over losing 99.7% of trade with China and instead be proud to have none. The fact is they're powerless over China because they're first greedy money hungry bastards not democratic champions. Live by the dollar. Die by the Dollar. The West would romanticize a sewer if they had to. That what's happening here. Might as well say it's about white privilege because it would be more truthful than saying this about upholding democratic principles. They want nothing to do with non-democratic countries except when it comes to making money. The West gets to economically attack China over politics but yet you hear a chorus of whining from the West when they get a taste of their own medicine. They're not use to it. Wait until China leads sanctioning Western countries every time they unilaterally bomb a country or when their soldiers commit war crimes. They'll be screaming like banshees when that happens.
It was only a problem in some, not even nation wide, official textbooks (and apparantly not even a recent batch).
The latest Guanqi (5/28) talks about it.
The thing is though, some teachers push or recommend children to get some 'non-official' textbooks, and these textbooks have more of this problem, compared to official ones.
With that said, the chinese education branch (?) has apparantly been pushing for reforms to education (them shutting down the for profit after school learning/teaching is part of the reform/changes), and they might comprehensively change all future text books (a complaint about official math/physics textbook is that they are in fact too simple, too many pictures, and not enough text. They don't prepare students well enough for exams).
EuroFighter with Meteors for start. If Ukraine is so important to Germany than they better invest properly.
why do you think she did 35 phone calls in few months. this her pleading that saved Ukraine first time. Merkel consider herself a leader so much less involvement of others. but now entire Western EU is involved as Germanic leadership withers and Europe disintegrates.
while Russia continue its own integration project of 180m people post covid.
She isnt chancellor anymore tho, some transantlantist scum is now.
Also this whole ukraine thing is the same bullshittery as "shimjeng wigger kz bullshit"
If EU would be smart we wiuld have sided with russia to blackmail US, but they are not, so the EU gets blackmailed by Russia, US, China, and motherf**** ukraine...

She no longer but everything happened under her time. starting with dangling association agreement with Ukraine.
She also allowed Eastern EU people like Donld Tusk into Burssels and clouded entire policies.
It is her lack of attention to Western EU that started the decline. I dont think Germany seriously took French unreliablity in nuclear power plants and its impact on energy prices.

Most British officials don’t hold anything of worth in China, hence their boldness. Rather than merely reciprocate the very specifically crafted British sanctions designed to minimise blowback, China should make it clear that if the British really are stupid enough to follow through with these idiotic threats, China’s response would be to sanction the MPs and Peers involved personally such that any company that does any business with them are in breech of Chinese sanctions and subject to disportioncate penalties. AKA, the Fat Pomp sanctions.
Western legalised corruption works on the basis on deferred payments. When you do business people favours while you are in power, you get zero money directly immediately. However, you get a favour to call in. In which case you can expect to get paid extravagant sums to ‘sit’ on boards and do essentially nothing, all without even having to go to the inconvenient of even physically attending board meetings to sit in a chair. Often you can do this while still serving in the government if you are so thick skinned. So long as you sign a piece of paper to declare these interests and promise these second jobs won’t impact on your day job, it’s all above board and perfectly legal.
Here is a bit long but very interesting discussion on this matter that only blew up thanks to how the British ruling elite have become so used to the above that they literally rewrote the rules when one of their own fell foul of the already ridiculously loose rules and generated a public backlash
Some good examples at around the 2 minute mark.
The point is, you threaten the companies with serious economic pain and suddenly they got no more board seats to fill.
Rather than sanctioning particular politicians who are in power today, it would be smarter to sanction people that even the British population will be forced to acknowledge as criminals. Start with the war criminal Tony Blair, who is widely despised for his role in starting the Iraq war, continue with all former governors of Hong Kong, who are guilty of crimes against humanity (or colonialism) and finally sanction companies involved in the mask procurement scandals in the UK for corruption. It would also be a good idea to sanction the British museum for exhibiting stolen artefacts.
Sanctions should exploit internal divisions that already exist in the target country. Sanctions designed to bring the whole country down, like e Iran sanctions, just cause the government to hate the attacker more and the people are going to unite in opposition to the external attacks. Sanctioning individual criminals who have been able to avoid punishment will make it look like the country imposing the sanctions has a point and the target country is too corrupt to take care of its own issues. Sanctions on Tony Blair would therefore be ideal. Everyone agrees he should be behind bars and it's going to be difficult to find people willing to defend him if China sanctions him.
Vietnam like India has territorial disputes with China. China has trillions of dollars that are going to be confiscated anyway. It could at least offer to buy the islands and put the issue behind them.
