Excellent stuff. We should pass a UN resolution condemning the US backsliding from it's climate pledges/responsibility

The United States must meet its international obligations on climate change and do more than "shout slogans", China's foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Friday following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling limiting Washington's ability to cut power sector emissions.
Environmentalists in China said the decision could further undermine the broader climate relationship between Beijing and Washington, which has played a crucial role in securing global agreements to curb climate warming greenhouse gas.
"The ruling carries profound implications and will significantly weaken the conditions for future U.S.-China climate talks," said Li Shuo, senior adviser with Greenpeace.

I wonder if the US will file a WTO complaint that China chose Airbus. China doesn't have a right to deny Lithuania parts in equipment it buys from Europe but apparently the West can exclude anything with Chinese parts in what it buys under the guise of national security forcing companies to look elsewhere for those very parts. The West charges China is trying upend the Western world order. Rightly so if they can complain about China on something they do themselves. I'm waiting for the day when the West demands China buys a yearly quota of widgets from them arguing it's the most environmentally friendly product at zero cost to the environment so China is obligated to buy them to balance out so-called trade deficits.

Same. Can someone link it off they find it? Also the Reuters article says it was the family who stated that it was Chinese security services. Which can't be independently corroborated since they can say anything.
Not TASS but a regional (Novosibirsk) paper -

. It looks like he gave some lectures to Chinese students and they are claiming that there were "state secrets" there, lol. I guess that's what happens when you don't pay your scientists a competitive wage, most of your equipment is old (some straight-up Soviet crap) and rusting while the primary source of income is government grants which are plagued by corruption at both the government and research institute levels.

I've worked in some of the RAN (Russian Academy of Sciences) institutes (thermophysics, hydrodynamics, institute of applied and theoretical mechanics, institute of information propagation problems) and they are crapholes with an aging workforce, struggling to attract young scientists because only a few labs even have modern equipment and liveable wages (on Russian level). There is a limited number of institutes that have decent funding and can afford to be somewhat competitive on the global level. Most of the young scientists with whom I've worked there all left for industry jobs (better pay, better W&L balance, no dumb bureaucracy, etc.) or left Russia (plenty went to China btw).

Survey from an American think tank

Negative views of China among Koreans are at a historic high of 80 percent, a recent survey shows.
Korea also stands out for having the highest share of people (54 percent) who say Beijing's involvement in domestic politics is a very serious problem for their country.
In other countries, older people tend to be more likely to hold unfavorable views of China except in Korea, where adults under 30 are more likely than those 50 or older to hold unfavorable views of China.

Apparently they think that we are interfering in their politics when in reality its their own oligarchs who pressure their government to be China-friendly in order to keep making money from China lol
