So glad of the Muricans to have invented a time machine, travelled back to 221 BC and helped Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to defend the Qin Dynasty from the northern hordes. Thanks Merica!
Also why would Beijing align with the west on territorial integrity when the US is violating China's with support of wanwan, uyghur, tibet etc separatism.3) His claim that “Russia is waging an imperial, colonial war… China must uphold territorial integrity.” is pure projection
The U.S. and its vassal states have waged colonial-style wars and coups of aggression for decades: Iraq, Libya, Syria, Serbia, Ukraine.
The propaganda term “rules-based order” is used selectively to attack countries that are unwilling to bend the knee to the neocon/neolib/transatlanticist regime.
The only rationalization for this infantilizing behavior is that Finland genuinely think they are 'superior' to China.Not sure if already posted but this is rich:
China's Xi Could End Russia War With One Phone Call: Stubb - Bloomberg "News"
China’s power over Russia is so great that President Xi Jinping could force an end to the war in Ukraine if he chose to do so, according to Finland's President Alexander Stubb. "One phone call from President Xi Jinping would solve this crisis,” Stubb said in an interview with Bloomberg's Kati Pohjanpalo in Helsinki. "If China is genuinely interested in harmonious relations between nation states, it cannot allow a country like Russia to drive an imperial, at the end of the day aggressive and colonial, war against a independent nation state."
Personal Opinion:
Stubbs is just another trans-atlanticist regime bot/polished liar that parrots official neocon/neolib talking points. He is not interested in offering an honest assessment of the situation.
1) His claim China was on the fence is a gross oversimplification.
China knew what the US and its vassals were up to in Ukraine since at least 2014. Yet knowing this, it never really supported the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
2) His claim that "One call from Xi could stop the war" is a gross oversimplification.
Russia is not a vassal state unlike Finland that now has become a whore of the neocon/neolib/trans-atlanticist establishment in large part due to Stubb.
3) His claim that “Russia is waging an imperial, colonial war… China must uphold territorial integrity.” is pure projection

4) His nonsense comment of "China would gain goodwill from the Global South…”
Much of the global majority sides more with China and Russia than with the neocon/neolib/trans-atlanticist regime and its absurd hypocrisy and lies.
Question: How can China, Russia and the rest of the true free world hope to deal with shameless liars like Stubb in any meaningful way ?
Blame is 100% on the Italian company which had majority in the joint venture. Chances are the Chinese company was just there to take a profit share, not involved with whatever lazy shit euros + corrupt locals do. Its a match made in hell, sleazy euros coming more to watch ladyboys than do real work + ppl who don't give a shit how their own country stuff is built.Among the many Chinese companies that makes us Chinese proud, there are always the few that continues to tarnish China's reputation. China Railway No. 10 Engineering Group was involved in the construction of the one building that collapsed in Bangkok during the earthquake in Myanmar. It was an apparent JV with a Thai company, the Chinese side being the minority shareholder. But knowing how things work in the SEA, I am quite certain that it is the Chinese side who is doing the heavy lifting. A subsidiary of this company was also involved in the construction of the Novi Sad train station roof that collapsed in Serbia last year.
Initial findings found that substandard steel was used. This building was still under construction. When completed, it would have become a Thai government building. I hope the Chinese government would look into this matter seriously and take action if there were any responsibilities on the Chinese side. Some of these Chinese construction companies need to be scrutinized. They may be contributing to China's BRI and soft power growth. But I have heard some less-than-pleasant stories about some of these companies in SEA. I don't know why it is the SOEs who were typically the worse culprits.
Wait so if the building was still under construction then why is there so much scrutiny? The building collapsed because it is not done.Among the many Chinese companies that makes us Chinese proud, there are always the few that continues to tarnish China's reputation.

I also read that the construction team was local comp? Why r the media focusing in the CN company tho? What r chances of "sab0t4ge" (the poor materials)?Blame is 100% on the Italian company which had majority in the joint venture.

None of these developers from China ever experience issues inside China (or when working alone). It's when they expand profits by buying shares into things built by culturally lazy ppl that things can go wrong. And remember in all those countries, their domestic designed infrastructure is also bad. That tells me clearly where the problem sits.
