OMG

Is there any year in which Washington has not bombed a country, invaded a country, provoked a war, assassinated a political leader, overthrown a government or encouraged a dictator to make a big killing, is there any year since the monstrous refounding of this Anglo Empire 2.0 in the atrocities in Korea and in the bright light of two atomic bombs dropped by a mixture of inertia, perverse curiosity and arrogant desire to make it clear to the whole world who the "top dog" was

It's so sad. The intended target, the father, was on the scenes. In the video, you can see that he is the guy with white beard who puts his hands on the back of his head.

Some of the Western MSM, such as CNN, really has no shame. BTW, why does the vast majority of the "diaspora Chinese journalists" has to be female?

Nah, the Americans are just entering into a transitory phase of temporary growth reduction.

Not sure there will be many volunteers willing to go there days. Chasing the Chinese dream seem more achievable than living the American dream. The lowest of the low income groups is decreasing in China while growing in the US.

Happy birthday to Mr Deng Xiaoping, the most based individual in human history. Thank you for reversing an entire nation's outdated way of thinking and conducting the largest poverty alleviation campaign of all time by lifting over 1 billion out of deprivation.

Pakistani police surround Imran Khan's home​

Ousted former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been charged with violating the country’s anti-terrorism laws for allegedly threatening a female judge and two senior police officials during a rally in Islamabad on Saturday night. Video reportedly shot at his home on Sunday evening shows police surrounding the residence hours after a police report was filed against him.

In his speech during Saturday’s rally, Khan threatened to file charges of his own against Judge Zeba Chaudhry, two police agencies, the Pakistani Election Commission, and other political opponents, warning they should prepare to face “consequences” over their abysmal treatment of his chief of staff, Shahbaz Gill. He had organized the rally in Islamabad’s F-9 Park in solidarity with Gill, who was arrested last week on sedition charges.

Later that night, the country’s digital media watchdog, called PEMRA, forbid satellite stations from airing the speech – or any future live addresses from the ex-prime minister – without a time-delay mechanism “to ensure effective monitoring and editorial control.”

Khan has been “continuously targeting state institutions by leveling baseless accusations and spreading hate speech through his provocative statements against state institutions and officers,” PEMRA explained in its directive on preemptively censoring the politician. Khan’s so-called “hate speech” was “prejudicial to the maintenance of law and order and is likely to disturb public peace and tranquillity,” they claimed.

Looks like Imran is going to be purged right before the Pakistani election on Oct 12. Guess they had quite the inspiration from the Neocon Dems moves against Trump not so long ago.
