No doubt many protestors are there in good faith to defend their freedumb and democrazy, but these events happen with such clockwork regularity, they are likely used for money laundering, through event logistics such as supply of lunch boxes, water, demo paraphernalia etc. It's not like such protests ever achieved their declared politicial objectives.

How can Trump 'show sincerity' to CN for negotiations, when these guys still active vs CN?
We should be calling these "Tibet" exiles what they really are. Indian.

After all they are born in India, have an Indian accent, probably speak English with one instead of knowing Tibetan.

It also works because they will feel insulted being called Indian. But yet they cant really say it since they rely on Indians to keep them alive.

Ministry lifts overseas limits on TSMC​

Previously, Taiwanese chip companies were restricted from building overseas fabs with technology less than two generations behind domestic factories
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), a major chip supplier to Nvidia Corp, would no longer be restricted from investing in next-generation 2-nanometer chip production in the US, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said yesterday.
“Those were old-time rules. Times have changed,” Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo (郭智輝) said [..]
“Private businesses should make their own business decisions based on their own technological progress,” Kuo said.
TSMC would “cautiously” evaluate the possibility of investing in building a 2-nanometer fab in the US, which would cost US$28 billion to US$30 billion, Kuo said, adding that TSMC would not yield under pressure from the incoming US government, or rush to build such an advanced chip manufacturing fab in the US.
TSMC has said its second fab in Arizona would produce chips using 2-nanometer and 3-nanometer technology in 2028, after the first fab begins production of 4-nanometer technology in the first half of this year.
“Trump will only be in office for four years and can’t run for another term so his impact will be limited,” Kuo said.

As the deadline for a potential TikTok ban in the U.S. approaches, billionaire and former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt's Project Liberty confirmed making a formal offer to Bytedance, the platform's Chinese parent company, to buy the social media giant's American assets.
The offer, announced Thursday by Project Liberty, comes ahead of a Jan. 19 deadline for ByteDance to sell the platform or face a ban on national security grounds.
Project Liberty's President Tomicah Tillemann said in a statement that the organization would not publicly disclose the bid amount. However, the group previously said it had secured $20 billion in verbal commitments from a group of investors ready to bid for TikTok.
If Project Liberty acquired TikTok, it would only be the U.S. portion of the platform and would not include TikTok's algorithm, which China sees as its intellectual property, McCourt told CBS last month.
The non-profit plans to migrate TikTok's user base to an American-built digital infrastructure designed to put people back in charge of their data, according to a statement released on Thursday.
While TikTok has denied they would consider selling the app, McCourt thinks the parent company would be more open to discussions if and when the Supreme Court shuts down their U.S. operation, according to Reuters.
To date, McCourt and his team have had "preliminary conversations" with members of the incoming administration with the hopes of finding a resolution before the app is shut down.
"By keeping the platform alive without relying on the current TikTok algorithm and avoiding a ban, millions of Americans can continue to enjoy the platform. We look forward to working with ByteDance, President-elect Trump, and the incoming administration to get this deal done," McCourt said.

When has Trump ever "showed sincerity" to China? Trade War 1.0, HK colour revolution project, African Swine Fever, and Covid-19. Each of those events coincidentally happened during or after negotiations between Trump and China.

The days when China thinks that a deal could be reached with Trump is over. Today, China is in a "bring it on" mode with Trump and America. China is going to punish Trump this time and make him crawl back begging, or let him rage impotently in the Whitehouse. Those 6th gen aircraft test flights are an appetizer for what is to come.

As for the Tibet question, it doesn't matter who is POTUS. All of them will continue screwing around with Xizang. India have been trying to hijack the American Tibet project, to turn it into their own Akhand Bharat project. So India had become the more active provocateur now. Excellent. Because they suck at doing it, and the more they do it, the more they reveal their loincloth imperialism to the Tibetans and their other neighbours.
