Is it too early for a response?
He could just give a PR answer (like 1000s of corporations do every day) such as "We will strictly investigate the matter and until the conclusion of that investigation we will not make any further comment."
Just like that, case closed

And then invite her to come to the police station to officially give a testimony. If she accepts that then she should be prepared for all consequences. If she is right, the guy will go to jail. If she is wrong, he will sue her for slander. And then let her decide if she wants to proceeds with the case or stop

This here is fundermentally a bad play, same as if the US actually went ahead with B3W. The whole global trade as it exists today depends on the principle of comparative advantage where some countries are good at some things and others and good at others and you trade based on those differences. China just happens to be the best at building infrastructure by a wide margin and trying to compete with China in this area is a bit like trying to compete with the US professional basketball players at the Olympics. You're just not going to win.

WTA is an irrelevant sports organisation. It’s womens tennis. They should never be allowed in the China market until major changes are made to the people running that organisation.

China need to create sports organisations of its own just like it did with the AIIB. Sports organisations are too Western dominated and need to be changed.

China actually benefits from developing countries growing faster, due to its strong manufacturing base which can export high value goods

So with US and EU jumping on the BRI-competition train, they haven't realise that its not BRI itself that benefits China so much, but by growing the countries'economies they will start using more Chinese industrial goods

Basically, the West is now supercharging the BRI effect which will grow the developing countries more, and thus, you guessed it, eventually grow China stronger


To sum up, BRI is a masterstroke. Either they don't compete and leave the world to China, or they try to compete, and with pooling so many resources they accelerate those countries' growth that also helps China as a global dominating export country lol

I read the article. It's got hits and misses. The claim that China gives children military training starting age 6 is just bizarre.

Otherwise, it's got some interesting stuff, such as connecting the Type 075 fire with the Bonhomme Richards fire.
I thought some things were rather strange. In the early passage of his article he states "I am also retired. I no longer am involved in the world of black operations, top secret SAP programs, spooky stuff, and all that. I am retired."Why would the authorities allow a CIA or similar agency agent live in China?
In NZ there were calls for the deportation of a Chinese MP back to China because he taught English in a PLAAF intelligence unit.

@Overbom bro we have to see what they offer, IF the same terms with a lot of string attach then we have to say thanks but no thanks. It is better to used the fund for the betterment of their member state. The EU like the US need to invest more on its citizen and fix its owned problem first before launching another hegemonic crusade.

No, IMO either through the shit back like "how do you prove that you are telling any truth?" or no response ever. The stupidity is his trying to prove "China's innocence", by doing so he lend the accuser who has no evidence some credence.

From my childhood experience, facing such word bullying, one either walk away, or punch the bully right to the face, because even the bystander is not interested in the truth but happy to see how the fight goes, anybody stand by principle and truth would have raised their voice equally to the bully as to the accused. Yet, we did not see any such equal treatment in this farce, didn't we?

Addition:
One thing that I see is critical is that when facing a question/statement/accusation, the very first thing to do is not answering it, but to question the validity of that "question/statement/accusation", attack the very root/foundation/standing-point of the opponent. Shifting the burden of proof to the accuser is a common legal practice.

How convenient when all WTA tournaments are already suspended in China due to covid.
With the full support of the FUWL board of directors, I am announcing the immediate withdrawal of all FUWL participation in WTA tournaments!

God what a fucking blowhard.

But yea, this is kinda what China's missing when you come to this propaganda. The west exaggerates China's missteps and downplays their own atrocities. We know this. We always see the two levels of standards - if this was equal, both FINA and World Gymnastics would've pulled out of the US long ago for their systematic rape of their young women in the US programs.

If China has any capability in under-handedness, they'd start tying this guy Steve Simon to Epstein. Of course, it needs to come from a third party (or perceived third party, this is why the US's vassals are useful) but of course China's too honorable to do so.
