It’s best to wait and see before making any assertions about what is happening. Something to keep in mind however is that the best spies never get found. Blatantly leaking high level intel for presstitute points seems counterproductive imo. Maybe the MSS is super incompetent which is why there are so many intel leaks or they are too good at their job which is why you never hear anything about them. Judging by how most global events have been favoring China, maybe it is the latter or maybe China is just incredibly lucky. Also, blatant corruption has never stopped the US’s bombastic rhetoric as it never even gets investigated. Chinese rhetoric is just always risk averse and I don’t think this has changed at all with or without these issues.

The US had Cheney and his profitable Halliburton connection, especially during the Iraq war that would not remotely be allowed to come to pass in China.
Lol I know, but I was just ranting and venting for the hell of it. I mean, to be flipping blunt, Chinese corruption investigators need not even reveal or suspend/investigate Adm.Dong Jun even if he's hypothetically speaking being corrupt to avoid embarrassing or causing to lose face to CHINA's enemies from within and abroad. Not to mention placing GenSec Xi along with his personnel decision making process and image in a pickle of embarrassment.
Yet, they went ahead and did it anyway, which can be interpreted that the government is ruthless when it comes to rooting out corruption; they are more than confident to replace anybody within the PLA upper echelon with another officer just as capable and ready to the job he's selected to do until further notice.
Sombody wrote chinese graffiti in a serbian landmark? Was it by a CN mainland/taiwan or other tourist? Or somebody wanna wedge CN and serbia?

Not sure about that. Nakba 1.0 was largely forgotten, and that was 70+ years ago. People have short memories these days. Americans, specifically, are quick to forget things. Just a couple years ago, they were "tired of war" (from Afghanistan and Iraq), and less than a year later, they were in full support of Ukraine War.
If the West continues to succeed in censoring Israeli atrocities, then the latter's reputation can be rebuilt. Telegram took a hit, TikTok might be banned. Twitter is still exposing Israel, but for how long?

Israeli kicked out of parliament after castigating Netanyahu. "You killed 825 babies under age of 1"
Or Cuba
That could change with tariffs.
Israel retreating doesn't mean Hezbollah will cease attacks. Hezbollah attacks due to the invasion of Gaza. Unless there is a peace with Gaza, Hezbollah will continue firing.

What the western public remember or forget doesnt matter anymore because the western population dont matter anymore.
The civilized world wont forget, but more importantly the winning side wont forget, and history is written by the winners
Offense in the spying game is much easier than defense; cultivating an asset is much easier than finding one, executing a cyberattack is much easier than stopping one. The Salt Typhoon hack - still ongoing - demonstrates that China can spy on any phone call on a US carrier at will.
Whos FT source tho?
