Modi is not a dictator, he was elected. This is kind of important. Calling these kinds of leaders “dictators” is a classic US tactic to delegitimize their leadership.

Racism is never acceptable regardless who the target is. Racism against Indians can easily turn against Chinese. We should never allow racism to fester.

中共中央、国务院印发《国家突发事件总体应急预案》​

中共中央 国务院印发《国家突发事件总体应急预案》​

Xinhua News Agency, February 25 — Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the State Council issued the National Overall Emergency Response Plan. The Plan serves as a comprehensive institutional framework for organizing responses to emergencies and consists of sections including General Provisions, Organizational Command Structure, Operational Mechanisms, Emergency Support, and Plan Management. It applies to the CPC Central Committee and the State Council in addressing particularly major emergencies and guides emergency response efforts nationwide.

The National Overall Emergency Response Plan emphasizes policy orientation, guidance, and practical applicability. It focuses on clarifying its relationship with specialized and departmental emergency plans, actively adapting to new situational demands and practical needs in preventing and mitigating safety risks. Key measures outlined in the Plan include:

• Upholding and strengthening the Party’s comprehensive leadership;
• Improving emergency command systems and mechanisms;
• Preventing and resolving major risks at their source;
• Establishing robust early warning systems and mechanisms;
• Detailing emergency response procedures and requirements;
• Strengthening grassroots emergency preparedness;
• Standardizing the structure and coordination of the emergency plan system.

The Plan also sets requirements for information release and public opinion guidance, post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, investigation and assessment, as well as resource allocation in areas such as human resources, financial support, material supplies, transportation, communication and power infrastructure, and technological innovation.

1.3 Classification and Grading of Emergencies

Under this plan, the term "emergencies" refers to sudden incidents—including natural disasters, accidents, public health events, and social security incidents—that cause or may cause severe harm to society and require emergency response measures to address.

(1) Natural Disasters: Primarily include floods and droughts, meteorological disasters, earthquakes, geological disasters, marine disasters, biological disasters, and forest or grassland fires.

(2) Accidents: Primarily include production safety accidents at industrial, mining, commercial, and other enterprises; transportation accidents, marine oil spills, public facility or equipment failures, nuclear accidents, fires, and ecological or environmental incidents; as well as cybersecurity, network data security, and information security incidents.

(3) Public Health Events: Primarily include epidemic outbreaks, mass unexplained illnesses, mass poisoning incidents, food safety incidents, drug safety incidents, animal epidemics, and other incidents that severely endanger public health and safety.

(4) Social Security Incidents: Primarily include criminal cases, terrorist incidents, mass incidents, ethnic or religious incidents, financial emergencies, foreign-related incidents, and other emergencies that disrupt market stability or social order.

The above categories of emergencies are often interconnected, may occur simultaneously, or trigger secondary or derivative events. Each situation must be analyzed comprehensively and addressed in a coordinated manner.

Natural disasters, accidents, and public health events are classified into four levels based on their societal harm and scope of impact: Particularly Major, Major, Relatively Major, and General. Grading standards for emergencies are established by the State Council or its designated departments and serve as the basis for information reporting and tiered response. Grading criteria for social security incidents are defined separately.

3. Technical Accuracy: Ensures precise rendering of specialized terms (e.g., "marine oil spills" for 海上溢油, "ethnic or religious incidents" for 民族宗教事件).
4. Hierarchical Structure: Maintains the original section numbering and sub-categorization to reflect the document’s organization.

This translation preserves the authoritative tone and legal precision of the source text, adhering to conventions for official policy documents.

Use your head more. By "investing" into new Russia regions/Russia puppet Ukraine, America is effectively fooled into inviting the devil to cross the door boundary of NATO.

1. It 100% legitimizes Russia's land grab.

2. It ties American assets for the long term into Russian hands - remember how Russia had just confiscated most NATO assets the last time.

3. It takes perhaps around a decade to develop some form of credible rare earths extraction, so for this time duration, US is just straight up paying Russia for something that may or may not materialise.

4.. It means all sanctions must be dropped, since trade wouldn't work otherwise.

These terms from Putin are basically demanding reparations from US but with a concession in face saving. However, the worst part for US isn't even the money, it's the impact on ties with EU.

Edit: if you recall, Ukraine itself tried the same "tricking investment for protection and legitimacy" on China. Remember Motor Sich? Even though China got tricked for the moment, they outplayed Ukraine's trick by cutting the losses and just siccing Russia on them directly. I doubt US has the fortitude to outplay Putin's tricking in the same way.

Of course Eurocrats would believe themselves to be the good guys!

Some of their ancestors and predecessors -- with founding president of the European Commission Walter Hallstein perhaps being the most memorable example -- mistook a certain unsuccessful, but extremely well known Austrian painter for the good guy too . . .

View attachment 146393

It's apparently how said Austrian artist convinced his numerous followers to commit all sorts of alleged and supposed crimes against humanity!

During WW2, then Oberleutnant Hallstein served as an officer in the Wehrmacht until he was captured by American forces, and dispatched to a prisoners of war camp in Mississippi.

Upon the conclusion of hostilities, Hallstein returned to Germany and quickly became rector of the University of Frankfurt. This was followed by a visiting professorship at Georgetown University, a prestigious and well known feeder school for the State Department and certain other federal agencies located in Washington.

By 1951, Professor Hallstein was State Secretary Hallstein of West Germany's foreign ministry, which would've nominally made him its second or third seniormost official, and as they say: "the rest was history."

Vladimir Putin has maintained a clear path forward for Russia since at least 2014, upon the annexation of Crimea, if not 2008, when he commenced a brief war against Georgia to violently express Russia's objections against further NATO expansion.

The road has been painful and bloody, especially in Ukraine for the last three years, but Putin knows who Russia's friends and enemies are, and the center of gravity to his vision has remained reasonably clear and consistent.

Putin knows what game he is playing while his most prominent European critics and opponents largely failed to even realize that they were about to get dumped by Uncle Sam.

If unremarkable figures like Merkel and Hollande really did finesse Putin, then their chief colleagues and collaborators wouldn't literally be crying now . . .
