This is a pretty interesting new to learn that Alibaba Cloud will be the cloud provider for the upcoming Paris Olympic games this coming 2027. It'll be the first time in modern history and for the games to be broadcasted via Cloud instead of Satellites. Alibaba beat out AWS or Amazon Cloud for the rights to broadcast and utilize their respective cloud technology. In light of what's happening with the chips being denied to Chinese cloud service providers prominent among them is Alibaba it'll be interesting to anticipate the level of attacks that company and others will be receiving in the coming years, months, weeks, or even days to sully, and damage reputation for above Chinese companies.

  • DOJ's China Initiative "may have inadvertently led to" an accelerated departure of valuable researchers of Chinese descent from the U.S. to China
  • A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that while the trend of Chinese-descent scientists leaving the U.S. was increasing before 2018, it greatly accelerated after the launch of the China Initiative.
  • The study highlights concerns over loss of scientific talent for the United States

: Former Chief Justice of India​

Inter-caste marriages have become common even in India but the Indian community residing in the US is still stuck on the idea of caste superiority.

Mainland progresses socially while the overseas cling to the mindset and ways of the past. We Chinese definitely see a similar phenomenon.



LMAO you are right they are pleading:

Japan has made a strong request to Hong Kong officials not to tighten restrictions on food imports from Japan because of its plan to discharge treated radioactive water from its Fukushima nuclear plant, Tokyo's foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
so English speaking people from some subcontinent country can be regarded as grumpy old 5 rupee trolls?

Only when it’s released directly into the atmosphere, not when it’s burnt. Yes, burning methane produces CO2, but burning traditional rocket fuels produce more CO2 and other hazardous waste as well.
Apparantly, when a methane powered rocket is on the launch pad, it is likely to be releasing some methane though (because it's full, and it's being kept constantly fuelled until last seconds until launch).

Well, we know what will happen next. With this launch, the Americans will ban Huawei again.

:rolleyes::p
Incidentally, China also mines methane hydrates from the SCS and is one of only a few nations in the world to know how to extract methane hydrates aka “frozen fire”

Αn explosion outside the Masonic Lodge of Greece, the Grand Lodge, occurred in downtown Athens early Thursday morning. Police proceeded to a controlled detonated a second suspicious package.

The explosion occurred short after 6:30 a.m. and after an anonymous caller warned about it with a call to international emergency line <112″. However, the caller did not mention the explosion time.

As police was rushing to the building of the Grand Lodge, the explosives went off.

Police found another suspicious package outside the buidling and proceeded to controlled detonation.

An eyewitness told news website newsit.gr that he saw a young man outside the building who dropped something like a back-bag or a plastic bag and shouted three times “f*ck masons.”

The alleged perpetrator was not wearing a mask.

Police investigates the issue.

1. He has 310, but in order to become PM he needs 376 votes. I doubt he will receive support from any of the remaining opposition parties in the House of Representatives or military appointed Senate.

2. He is still facing an election commission probe. "If Pita is found to be in violation of election rules, he could face up to 10 years in jail, a 20-year ban from politics and a fine"

I will venture a guess and say that Pita won't become PM but that Thailand will be swept with Hong Kong styled riots after U.S. activates its structures.
BANGKOK, July 13 (Reuters) - Thailand's Pita Limjaroenrat failed on Thursday in his initial bid to become Thailand's next prime minister, after he was unable to secure the required endorsement of more than half of the bicameral parliament.

Pita, leader of election winners Move Forward, was unopposed in the contest but could not muster the required support, with a host of abstentions and votes against him. Parliament is expected to hold another vote next week, which Pita can contest if nominated again.

Tbh, I'm a little worried for Chinese people once common prosperity is reached and poverty becomes a distant past. How do you avoid raising weak-minded and entitled future generations?
That's a good question for China. In my opinion, the best way to avoid a weak future generation is for China to remain humble even when things are going very well. Keep developing, even when it is no.1.

I think the CPC dodged an early bullet when they elected Xi Jinping as the President. Towards the end of the Hu Jintao era, the mainland Chinese society was slowly succumbing to materialism and consumerism. Plus there was growing arrogance amongst the more affluent mainland Chinese people. People were worshipping money, status, and lifestyle. If left unchecked, the urban mainland Chinese society could have ended up like HK, TW, and South Korea. Xi Jinping stopped that crap and brought China's soul back. Xi's first term was housecleaning. Cleaning out rampant corruption, criminals, and negative materialistic cultures. His second term was rebalancing the economy and returning China back to its cultural roots. Socialism is big on the agenda again, and there is that Chinese Dream. Now, Xi's 3rd term is about Common Prosperity. These are positive developments. It avoids the traps of rich-worshipping and consumerism that plagues the democracies around the world.

So when China finally attains the no.1 economy spot, and when Common Prosperity is a full reality, it has to learn from the mistakes of the West. Absolutely no Francis Fukuyama 'End of History' bullshit. That creates the illusion of exceptionalism, and that produces weak and entitled people. China should continue calling itself a 'developing country' and continue developing. Never let the billionaires and bankers take control of the country. Continue human progress. Don't allow the banksters to tell us that these things are not "economically viable". There is always a new national mission to take on. Develop new technologies, space exploration, or human development. There is always some work to do. Don't care about how far behind the West or others are. Just do it, and keep progressing. All of these things, I'm confident that the CPC is capable of doing, as long as the party continues reforming and promote capable leaders.

Bro from Chinese history being complacent led to the Hundred Years of Humiliation, that's the reason why the Chinese welcome a healthy competition and will not seek the destruction of the Collective West unless the Collective West did it to themselves....lol
