Japan, from Asian tech and economic superpower, to now joining the likes of Thailand and Philippines as Asia's brothel. How the mighty have fallen.

Known by Chinese social media for a long time. For around $1k USD (i think) you can hire JAV actresses to film your own AV with professional staffs.

No, the chart is accurate. It isn’t a drop in agricultural output but a drop in KW power of agricultural machinery as indicated on the Y-axis. As shown in the statistics you proved for 2015-2016. Quantity of small tractors decreased while large and medium tractors steady increased. Then in 2018, there was a steep decrease in large and medium tractors with a rapid increase in small tractors. Raising energy output again. As for why then you have to ask someone else since it seems like an industry reason.

Not necessarily bad data. The reduction in number can be caused by the followings:
  • Consolidation of small plots into flatter, bigger plots that are more suitable for large mechanical agricultural machineries.
  • Increased number of third party agricultural machinery service companies, reduce the need for individual farmers/villages to own machineries.
  • Increase usage of drones.

EU to press China over drones for Russia, warns of ‘consequences’​


The warning comes as the Czech foreign minister urges Europe to follow Donald Trump’s lead on China.
The EU will press Beijing for answers over reports that a China-based company is producing military drones for use in Russia's war against Ukraine, a senior EU official said Friday.
"We have had reports from intelligence sources on the existence of a factory inside China producing drones which are shipped to Russia," said the senior EU official, granted anonymity to speak on the sensitive matter.
The official said that the EU has to determine whether Beijing knew about the firm's activities and whether the production of drones amounted to "direct cooperation on military equipment between China and Russia."

"If we finally confirm there is a transfer of drones [from China to Russia], then that will have consequences," added the official, who declined to spell out what those consequences could be.

The comments, which come more than a month after

on the drone factory, hint at a hardening stance toward China in the wake of Donald Trump's re-election as U.S. president.

While EU officials and diplomats didn't spell out what action could be taken, one option being examined is adding more Chinese companies to a list of third-country firms facing EU sanctions, according to a second EU diplomat.

The EU has previously sanctioned Iran for producing weapons for Russia, but not China. The senior EU official said that Brussels would follow the same process for China as it did for Iran.

Asked what the EU needed to find out before taking further action, the official said the bloc was trying to determine whether the factory's production was geared for Russia, whether drones were shipped to Russia and whether Chinese authorities were aware of the firm's activities.

The official added that it was "difficult to believe that this was done without knowledge."

European self cope mechanism, they deluded themselves into believing China may or may not be be arming Russia, which can somehow alter the reality.

"The purpose of British defence policy is to make people think that they are defended."
