They're buttmad Reddit is moving to a paid API model and are "protesting" by going private for a couple of days. Too bad they won't stay gone for good.

There is a blackout on Reddit that is protesting the huge costs of using Reddit’s API. Reddit is planning to charge $0.24 for every 1000 API calls, and given how frequently an app like Apollo would have to call Reddit’s API, that is unsustainable. Reddit basically is attempting to force everyone to use their app to collect and sell their data. Redditors are pretty nuts about their “private” data.
Evacuation plan is this: go back to America now.
You are putting undeserved responsibility and guilty on China's shoulder. Regardless USSR's attitude on German reunification, so long as USSR said yes even reluctantly, anyone outside of Europe is in no position to say no. It is none of China's business, on this matter China was nutural just like today about Ukraine. In the same way, Korea's re-unification is China's business, not Russia's burden, if hypothetically NK surrendered to SK and China could not stop it, Russia should not be blamed.
What Wang Yi said is due to principle, that is "if the Germans on the two sides want they shall unite, but if Germans on any side does not want then they shall not be forced to unite". The principle was the true will of the people. Wang Yi's word "support" is to that will, not saying China materially did or would do something to facilitate the re-unification.
Well, as most of us who have been following China's economic and semiconductor news, this shouldn't come as a surprise:
The juiciest tidbit is at the end of the article - not even free US aid is enough:
Looks like either South Korea finally pushed back or the US government realized we can't keep antagonizing everyone if we still want allies

I think you should go back and a bit deeper in history. The Finns were not victims of the Soviet Union, on the contrary it was an example of how a balance can be found so that the country having good relations with both the West and the Eastern bloc. Because of the direct proximity to the USSR, the country's communist movement was not oppressed and purged like other European countries (Rosa's Luxemburg era Germany, Spanish civil war, Greek civil war), but it was able to hold positions of power and actively participate in the country's political life. Also, regarding Germany, the original plan from the time of Stalin was a united Germany that will decide with a referendum the way of governance, something that the rest of the allies rejected and provoked, forcing the easterners to raise the infamous wall. Let's not forget that Berlin was in the heart of East Germany. It's like saying, for example, that in Pyongyang, half of the city belongs to South Korea. West Germany was the de facto heart and initial implementation of NATO, and this continues to this day as the US military occupation continues strong to this day. I could call the not so naïve, perhaps cunning policies of Gorbachev during the period of the collapse of the Eastern bloc and its political and geostrategic decline. To draw safer conclusions you must study bloc's reign and not it's alienated end
