That's a video from Baerbock's visit to Malaysia in January. China won't stoop to such levels of pettiness even though she very much deserves it.

yes Georgian President cannot demonstrate Russian interference because there is that Arabic soft power involved. i never take demographic statistics of these christian countries at face value all the way to Moldova because opposite things happens to what they intend to do.
It kept winning prizes for being on time and on budget. Until they started adding VLS cells and enlarging the submarine. And now that the shipyards have started building the Columbia SSBN the construction rate of the Virginia SSNs was cut in half."The U.S. Navy faces a critical shortage of submarines amid increasing global threats, particularly from rivals equipped with advanced anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) capabilities like China. The Virginia-class submarine program is $17 billion over budget, raising concerns about the Navy's ability to meet peacetime and wartime demands."
France and UK are involved in wars and military presence across the globe, much more active than Japan. Their militaries are active in islands in many oceans. French military runs many African colonies. Both have aircraft carriers.Whoever made that ranking list must be pretty d4mn high on something.
Israel has a stronger military than China?? Really? And the UK and France have stronger militaries than Japan outside of nuclear weapons?
Apart from Spain maybe, I do not see anybody in Europe as the legacy of the Romans (except maybe Russia via Byzantium). Europe, including the Italian Romans were overrun by the Goths, Huns, Vandals (but not Byzantium). Ostrogoths became the new Roman emperors. Soon, the papacy also became Goth. The culture today imo is more Germanic and less Roman. They just like to associate with the Romans due to prestige, while in essence, they are still barbaric like the Germanics.Similarly, the Germanic tribes in France and Germany adopted Graeco-Roman culture. Roman civilisation is well known to be a continuation of the Greeks. The Franks and Goths etc lost their original barbarian roots (which was never advanced enough to call a civilisation). And the majority of the population of Spain, Italy, the balkans and even England are descendants of people who were Roman citizens (or Roman slaves) at the time of Caracalla. Western and Southern Europe can legitimately claim inheritance from the Romans. Central and Eastern Europe is more of a case of self colonisation and conquest from the west that forced adoption of western civilisation.
I don't know any Moroccan or Algerian who call themself Arabs. They always refer to themselves as Berber.Moroccans are ethnically not related to the Arabs from the Arabian peninsula who invented Islam, but they still speak Arabic and call themselves Arab
Shouldn’t the German ambassador be the one to greet her at least? Unless I missed him of course,
it’s the same doublethink that says Biden had to be removed as president but the urgency of presidency is such that they can afford to wait months campaigning for a new president when evidently, the office of presidency is now defunct and vestigial.According to the Zionist elite:
It really blows my mind how obvious the doublethink is but few seem to really notice it until you point it out. Even Jews with their 6 gorillion verbal IQ seem to be unaware and say it unironically.
- You are currently allowed to hate Muslims (except Uyghurs coz they don't count)
- You are currently allowed to hate Chinese (except Taiwanese and formerly HKers coz they don't count)
JIUQUAN, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- China's space workers are paying close attention to the two in-orbit American astronauts who have been delayed returning to Earth and wish for their safe return, said a spokesperson with the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) on Tuesday.
"We appreciate NASA's high regard for the safety of its astronauts, and at the same time, we extend our best wishes for the safe return of the two astronauts," CMSA spokesperson Lin Xiqiang told a press conference in Jiuquan in northwest China.
Oh come on. Without Chinese, singapore is Malaysian economy. We have contrast right there lol.It is said that without Indonesian Chinese driving the economy, the Indonesian economy would be on par with the Philippines.
It is said that without the Filipino-Chinese driving the economy, the Filipino economy would be utterly hopeless.
Therefore, give the Malays some credit, lol
I'm talking about the continuity of western civilization. Which clearly is continuous, from ancient Greece, to Rome and until today. The fact that it's not always a single empire doesn't really matter to a civilisation. Most civilisations are not civilisation states. And you shouldn't over interpret barbarian conquests. They don't usually replace the majority of the population, although they can change culture. Being overrun by barbarians who introduce poor governance is common enough in Chinese history anywayYou just made the point here that's the crux of every Rome-China historical comparison. Of course a civilization that controlled as many territories and was as advanced as the Romans were going to leave a legacy. But that's not people are discussing in Rome-China debates because if we were judging the continuity of empires by their legacy then that opens a whole can of worms. As an example, Modern Indians speak English, have a parliament system of government, and at least upper class Indians are educated in the British style, can they claim to be a successor to the British Empire?
The exact point people make is that unlike Rome, China maintained enough of a cohesive internal structure to largely preserve its territorial, linguistic, and core cultural identity for millenia to this day where its one of the world's great powers. What Rome left behind in the Western Empire after its collapsed was the Roman Catholic church, ie. one institution that exercised profound religious authority perhaps but had no head of state, no bureacracy managing territory outside of Rome, and projected little military or economic power compared to even its neighboring city states like Florence nevermind the other European kingdoms. You had barbarian tribes that claimed to be successors to Rome, but whose territories themselves were just a loose patchwork of fiefdoms and duchies that only acted cohesively during times of military campaigns and outside of that often fought eachother. They followed the heed of the Catholic Church, but inherited none of the wisdom or governing efficiency of the Romans needed to administer large territories and promote trade or urbanization. It was wisdom they didn't even have access to until the Arabs reintroduced it to them.
And that's Western Europe, the most ostensible direct offshoot of Rome was Byzantium and we all know how their story ended in 1453.
