We are now, as a former U.S. ambassador put it in a recently, “at a moment of truth.” If Putin refuses to negotiate about things that are negotiable, like arms controls, and insists on curtailing NATO membership and military basing and operations, we will be a diplomatic standstill. If that happens, our best bet is a new Cold War.

So according to this people Russia disarming itself is negotiable and Russia should agree but NATO expanding to surround Russia with military bases is not negotiable. This is absolutely irrational thinking.

It only "breaks your heart" if you were so stupid in the first place and believed all this propaganda cr*p.
Watch as he decides to remain in the US while blubbering about the the gov "breaking his heart".

I have no respect for him. The moment the decision was made to not prosecute him, if he had any spine in him, he would have taken a plane and left the country the next day. I am not saying to go to China necessarily, he could even go to Europe

For people of his caliber, I am sure that a lot of countries would welcome him. China especially, would roll out the red carpet for him

Instead, i assume that we will have to suffer through hearing more of his moaning while he keeps working and living in his beloved utopia the US
Is he still going to do science???

From what he said in the article, I assume he will stay.

Note the bolded words
When Gang Chen returned to his laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Friday, the day after the government had dismissed charges of lying on grant applications, he was surrounded by well-wishers, offering hugs and congratulations
he is uncertain if he will ever feel safe applying for U.S. government funds for research again.
He doesn't say "I will ever feel safe in the US" but instead directs the blame of what happened to him was because he applied for US Gov funding for his research

“My reputation got ruined. My students, my post-docs, they changed their career. They changed to other groups. M.I.T., the country, the U.S., we lose. I can’t calculate the loss. That loss cannot be calculated.”
Dr. Chen said he considered the deal seriously. But he feared that there would be lingering questions about his innocence
That he cares about people having "lingering questions about his innocence" if he took the deal, it means that he never thought about leaving the US

When the government’s motion to dismiss charges was made public, last Thursday, Dr. Chen was inundated with congratulations from colleagues. But he was somber.
“It’s hard to tell them directly that there is nothing to congratulate,” he said. “It’s just a sad history, sad for the country.
Again he is associating himself with the "country"


He is not certain how he will resume his scientific career. Without a research group or a funding stream, he has been working on individual research papers. On Thursday, the day the charges were dropped, he woke up at 4:30 a.m. to finish a paper on energy transfer in water.
Lmao. After the government got him in a witch-hunt he came back and started working again lol


As I said in my other post, I have bo respect for him. Maybe I feel sad for him, but for respect, no

Exactly the same cooperation and competition bullshit, being presented to China, while areas of "cooperation" open to China, is to disarm itself in arms control agreement, and for China to disarm itself economically through climate change agreement lol

He is a true masochist in my opinion, he literally begs for more punishments from his anglo daddy

Lithuanian wine was selling for 31 yuan per bottle in Mainland China, now selling for the equivalent of 137 yuan in Taiwan. Those Wanwanese are a true friend of Lithuania...LOL

You are right and I want to apologize for my earlier doubt.
I am not sure I believe this. Both mainland and Taiwan's currency is called Yuan in Chinese language, Taiwan's Yuan is translated to New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) in English. The exchange rate of RMB to NTD is 1:4.37 now. 31 RMB means 135 NTD which is close to 137. I wonder what currency that 137 is.
According to this article the price of Lithuanian rom in Taiwan is 600 NTD which is 137 RMB compared to only 31 RMB in mainland.

Do you have a non pay wall version?

The European Union is moving forward with plans to outlaw goods made using forced labour, senior officials said, citing allegations of widespread uses of such practices in the Chinese region of

Testifying on Monday before the European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade, French Trade Minister Franck Riester said it was “perfectly clear that the

situation is extremely serious”.

“And that’s why I will come back to this: we should have a specific instrument to block certain products which are the product of forced labour,” said Riester, who was outlining Paris’ trade priorities. France had assumed the six-month rotating presidency of the EU earlier this month.

The ban was announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in September – a surprise move that caught other parts of the EU unaware.
