We live in a universe where the foremost experts on China do not speak a lick of mandarin and have never set foot in the country, and the foremost experts on semiconductors are gender studies majors. What an interesting universe we live in.

All the more reason why the Anglo led western order must be dismantled for humanity to become an interstellar civilisation

i consider this poetic justice. These American tech companies could’ve lobbyied against these tech snd trade wars but they were promised Chinese market access by American military industrial bullies so they reap what they sow. After all, they started this war and with that comes consequence.

US commerce secretary doesn't expect changes to Trump China tariffs until review complete​

WASHINGTON, Sept 5 (Reuters) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Tuesday she does not expect any revisions to U.S. tariffs on China imposed during President Donald Trump's administration until an ongoing review is completed by the U.S. Trade Representative's Office.

"I don't think the (Biden) administration will make any changes until that review is completed," Raimondo told CNBC. It is not clear when USTR will conclude the review.

Looks likes it's up to Agent Tai to continue Comrade Trump's trade war. Make your motherland proud Agent Tai!

with China unfolds exciting recycling possibilities for the Pacific islands
"This historic partnership will be of great benefit to our Pacific islands, and one for which we are very appreciative to The China Navigation Company," said Mr Kosi Latu, Director General of SPREP.

"Our Pacific islands face an immense waste management challenge. With many geographical limitations, the Moana Taka Partnership can help us address the problem of taking our recyclable waste off island for proper recycling. This is a great step, or shall we say paddle, in the right direction."

The China Navigation Company (CNCo) and the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment (SPREP) have today signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to address critical waste management issue in the Pacific islands.

Known as the "Moana Taka Partnership", this MOU allows for CNCo vessels to carry containers of recyclable waste from eligible Pacific island ports, pro bono, to be sustainably treated and recycled in suitable ports in Asia Pacific.

Mr James Woodrow, Managing Director of CNCo said, "China Navigation has provided sustainable shipping solutions to the Pacific islands for 80 years. Today, the communities in the Pacific islands are facing some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time and CNCo is committed to being part of the solution. As soon as we became aware of the critical need for sustainable waste management in the region, we worked urgently with the SPREP and UN Environment to put this partnership in place."

Under this agreement, Pacific island countries who have insufficient or inappropriate landfill space to store waste, have inadequate waste treatment facilities, and the financial inability to ship recyclable waste are eligible for this opportunity. The types of materials that are considered recyclable include plastics, aluminium cans, waste oil and ozone depleting substances.

The signing took place across Samoa and Singapore on 20 March to mark the Global Recycling Day 2018.

"Better waste management is absolutely critical for Pacific island nations. Landfills should be the last option and throwing it all in the ocean is not an option. We need to innovate, and this kind of public-private partnership is the way forward. Only when we work together can we overcome one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time," said Mr Erik Solheim, Executive Director of UN Environment.

21 countries are eligible for these opportunities: American Samoa, Cook Islands, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Fiji, French Polynesia, Kiribati, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, New Caledonia, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Timor Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Wallis and Futuna.

US says North Korea will 'pay a price' for any weapons supplies to Russia​

Providing weapons to Russia "is not going to reflect well on North Korea and they will pay a price for this in the international community," U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters at the White House.

The Kremlin said earlier on Tuesday it had "nothing to say" about

Canada is stealing from, harassing, and delegitimizing the Native Americans again? How could we have foreseen this. It's almost as if the white colonial occupiers were never punished and still see the native inhabitants like zoo animals, to be ogled at and demeaned.

Cordoning off native Americans into a tiny part of their former home and continually making violent incursions / taking small land pieces away from what they have left is a special form of torture.

I think some weopon production can be outsourced to North Korea but that will be minor in overall context. NK has alot of economic potential. see North Koreans that arrived in south Libya.
