Any news if Chinese state rescuers are going to Myanmar? I think it would be a good thing if Y-20 were on their way to Mandalay.

Trying to stop Chinese infiltration of Taiwan is like trying to stop AoE priests monks from going wololo.

Never a good sign when you see spies everywhere.

It's not actually a given tho. Like if you look at Ukraine which face(d) a very similar situation as China, they completely failed to achieve any sort of penetrance into the separatist regions. Most likely because of the people there really hate the Kiev government's guts and have no reservations about fighting whatsoever.

Meanwhile KMT separatists are more likely ambivalent or at least not confidently hateful of the Beijing government. They are much more like HK cockroaches than like LDPR draftees.

China also has a lot more money to throw at people.

The presence of Chinese migrants in Japan is more prominent than ever before. With the relaxation of visa requirements, migration from China has expanded, offering opportunities not only to the wealthy but also to the middle class. By 2026, the number of Chinese residents in Japan is expected to exceed 1 million.

This increase in Chinese migration is transforming the landscapes, lifestyles, education systems, and cultural traditions of many Japanese cities. It is serving as a catalyst for change, bringing new energy and dynamism to a traditionally static Japan. This series of reports delves into this trend, which has significant implications for the nation's future. It explores the balance of benefits and challenges while providing a nuanced understanding of its impact.

"All the Japanese are senior citizens," said 86-year-old Tetsuya Mashimo, with a hint of loneliness in his voice. He is the head of the local residents' association and has lived in the housing complex since it was first built. "This place has completely become a Chinese housing complex."
There are now 840,000 Chinese residents in Japan. Notably, the number of Chinese individuals with permanent residency who have lived in Japan for a long time has increased. There are now over 330,000 such individuals, significantly more than the permanent residents from other nationalities. This number has grown by about 100,000 in the eight years since 2016, and that growth shows no signs of slowing down.

The governor of Yeongyang, where 55 percent of its 15,271 residents are aged 60 or older, issued a statement on Friday urging the town's citizens to help by clearing embers and looking after their neighbours.

Six of the 28 victims were from Yeongyang.

He also reported that no helicopters had been deployed in the past three days and called on the central government for additional support.

The wildfire fatalities included a pilot in his 70s whose helicopter crashed Wednesday while trying to contain the blaze.

"It's really heartbreaking -- I heard the pilot served for about 40 years," Kang Yong-suk, a 74-year-old resident of Andong, told AFP.

I mean, Ukraine had all of Nuland's cronies, CIA, Boris Johnson's thugs etc. Obviously China/MSS still has slightly more resources if we consider economy size, but the actual resource difference isn't too great.

Loss of human lives and property is tragic , but the quality of these collapsed buildings look unlawfully low. Japan in 2011 endured 9.0 earthquake with minimal damage. I guess corruption is commonly practiced in Thailand and Myanmar. Anyways, I feel sorry for poor people losing belongings and loved ones.

Japan should ask its regular builders to teach its nuclear powerplant construction team because apparently, they had "minimal damage" from a 9.0 but a 7.3 crumpled the Fukushima reactor like a coke can which is still hemorraging radiocative water into the sea. I guess corruption is too deep in the Japanese government to expect that nuclear power plants be built with similar safety standards as regular commercially-built residences and offices.
