Has the White House changed the definition of ‘directly’ as well when no one was looking? Because last time I checked, leaving a voicemail when the other party won’t pick up the phone to you anymore doesn’t mean ‘communicate directly’.

The finance minister's comments are irresponsible. As of June 2021, China accounted for only 7 percent of Bangladesh's debt, while Japan accounted for 19 percent. China is hardly to blame for the debt problem. Alas, some countries have to be blacklisted. For details, see this content:

China: Taiwan is part of China = Bad

USA:
1) Drone bombing civilians = Good
2) Bandera, Azov, Right Sector = Good
3) State-sponsored racism against the Chinese and Russian peoples = Good
4) LGBT for minors = Good
5) Twerking culture = Good
6) Guns for everyone, including mass murderers = Good

No wonder a Chechen commander called the West the Anti-Christ.

One of the national newspapers in Canada is writing a sob profile on the wife of the Azov commanders.
They should also write some historical puff pieces on Eva Braun or Marga Himmler while they are at it.
Even by a Stanford think-tank's own research Azov are far-right extremists and quote:

Prokopenko joined the group in 2014 and was one of their earliest members.

Funny how the "geniuses" on Twitter think they're such smart alecks in deconstructing Hua's "logic". If I were Hua, I'd probably respond along these lines -


Hua: "We'd like to see Japan try laying claim to Taiwan. Just one more time, let's see what happens."


Hua: "There're way more McDonald's, KFC, Burger Kings and Starbucks in Beijing than that, in fact. That's how welcoming China is to American businesses. If America desires China to be part of their country, we'd give them a 'warm welcome' too."


Hua: "Do you want us to lay claim to LA, then?"

Ramen is originally from China, so actually the logic should be China owns Japan

Ukraine halts Russian oil supply to EU​

Ukraine’s state oil pipeline operator Ukrtransnafta has stopped pumping Russian crude through the southern branch of the Druzhba system to the EU, RIA Novosti news agency reported on Monday, citing Russia’s Transneft.

According to the report, transit supplies have been halted to Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Igor Demin, spokesperson for the president of Transneft, told the agency that transit through Belarus in the direction of Poland and Germany continues.

Demin explained that Russia cannot make payments for transit due to EU sanctions, although the Ukrainian company is insisting on 100% prepayment for its oil transportation services.

“When making a payment for transit through the territory of Ukraine, the funds were returned to the account of Transneft,” he said, adding, “Gazprombank, which services payments, notified us that the payment was returned in accordance with the EU regulations, that is, the seventh package of sanctions.”

Transneft stressed that it is working on alternative payment options for oil transit services via Ukraine, and has sent an appeal to Gazprombank.

Druzhba, which is one of the longest pipeline networks in the world, carries crude some 4,000 kilometers from the eastern part of European Russia to refineries in the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
