The fact that Taiwan, South Korea and Japan sanctioned Russia sends red flags in Beijing not because it harms Beijing because they are aren't the sanctioned party here but the fact that they are completely aligned with an anti-sino mindset and camp pretty much draws the line in the sand. It sends a message across..

They wouldn't with a second to sanction China if it came to that

That maybe but that would also cost those 2 countries (S.K. Japan) and a stupid renegade province (Taiwan) whose economies DEPEND/RELY ON CHINESE TRADE. Whereas their trade with Russia aren't in the same league or economic impact to that of CHINA. So please @Arnies Go on beg your country in Europe and the rest of your pious countries to do so. We'll bring down the world with you. Your €100B defense budget better start working soon. It's mighty bleeping annoying that countries from far away places not part of Asia to be telling an Asian country, a powerful one at that how to run our internal affairs, especially in light of what's happening at your own backyard.

P.s. am not wishing for the world to end because that would be the end of life as we know it. But If the world has to end, I would rather see your country and the rest of the western countries go down as well.

Let’s see if Europe makes it out in one piece after all the sanction craze has worn down and Europe ends up suffering big time as a consequence. Let’s see if this USA puppets in the EU can save their nation from starvation and death without the essentials. Maybe the people could simply eat those fools if they prove to be so useless that they ensured that they will have no petrol to use in the future and is all because of their arrogance and belief that they can some how force Russia to surrender just because the USA is backing them. If they cannot get through this crisis, the sth Korea, Japan and Taiwan had better beg for forgiveness because China isn’t in the mood for bullshit. In the event that China and Russia stand after the USA tears itself apart, they will demand piety from those so called neighbours or they will bloody well ensure that those nations will suffer to the point of no return. And I am perfect certain that these nations may like to deliver it but like those h-anime crap from Japan, they certainly cannot take the punishment and Japan is long overdue for some serious pain for there inability to apologise for their actions during WW2 and no, they didn’t apologise because the USA is around although for how much longer.

The US also did it in Ukraine. They took all their gold. Next time you hear that Ukraine's Euromaidan coup was spontaneous just think about that. Which country would just surrender their gold reserves like that?

American planes right after the 2014 coup landed in Kiev and took Ukraine's 44 tons of gold reserves. A large amount of physical gold earlier this year was sold from Russian private banks in London market... next target for gold grab? One of GCC countries. Just watch!

Isa Blumi @IsaBlumi is Professor of Global History, Islamic World, Ottoman Empire, Yemen, Albania


THE SOVEREIGN GOLD STEALING BY ANGLO POWER: IRAQ, LIBYA, UKRAINE (44 tons), AFGHANISTAN (22 tons), VENEZUELA (31 tons)... they printed plenty of the fiat currencies but lack of the hard assets esp. the physical gold is flowing constantly from the West to the East over the last decades!

I forced myself to read through the website... The amount of self-aggrandizing is unfathomable. It seems like this group of "intellectuals" has god-complex and think of themselves as some sort of saint/Jesus who are persecuted because of their holier-than-thou beliefs...

My goodness!

Starbucks is like the rest of American cuisine, full of crap with very little substance. Anyone that sees their pot bellies could easily see a nation that has been indulgent for far too long and extremely undeserving of such good fortune due to all the plundering that have done for centuries. Hence when the chickens come home to roost, I wonder if they will have anything left

Perhaps it's not about the coffee. In China's Shanghai like cities, Starbucks is the place to go. But then what do I know, I'm just a cow cocky from NZ.

Yes the worst for the West not just Ukraine is yet to come. The West having to grovel to countries they have been working to undermine for years to help them out against Russia shows how weak the West's position is today. The West trying to show how they're allies is not news to the rest of the world and actually means nothing because it's business as usual. The reason why the West is losing influence in the world is because they don't have the money to buy the world's loyalty anymore. They made the mistake in believing their own bull that the world likes them because their values and system were the best. No the world just wanted the money. They're worried China is going to save Russia. They wouldn't be worried about that if they think they're in the driver's seat of the world. They would've employed that leverage against China long ago if they had it. China called their bluff when Trump started his trade war that used up most of the US's economic leverage on China.

Indeed I don't drink Starbucks coffee... not only its price is much more expensive but also its taste is awful. I prefer to drink traditionally brewed coffee... admittedly its capital allows them to take up the strategic spots, win by locations, but I really don't like its coffee taste! Thus I always look for local coffee chains instead these big names like Starbucks etc. After all it's just COFFEE... you don't need those names to enjoy the real, tasty coffee... just make sure it comes from the genuine coffee beans! I also don't like to pay rigged prices for "lifestyle"! He he he I'm quite conservative, I have no "style"!

China and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, reached deal on her visit to Xinjiang in May.

In his speech on March 08, China's ambassador to Swiss and the UN offices in Geneva, Chen Xu, said "Bachelet will visit China in May. Her planned trip includes Xinjiang. China will work with her office for arrangement."
