How is the Chinese court going to enforce its ruling against the Dutch "art thief" a.k.a. collector to return the stolen Buddha back to the province.

The relic is in Hungary, which is currently Pro-Russia, Pro-China under Viktor Orban. Should not be too difficult to get it back with proper negotiations (unlike if some pro-Soros admin was in power).

Man, England is going through a pretty severe issue with the heatwave going through that country. Their trains are shut down due to the steel track being deemed dangerous to be used since it's not equipped to handle such high temperature. Apparently, it'll cost a lot of money to refit the train track and yet this idiots would rather spend their dwindling money into Ukraine lol

Is China's train tracks equipped to handle such high degree temperature?

Considering that Chinese summers regularly break 40 degrees in many populous regions, I'd hope so lol

Yes according to this Chinese blogger who regularly writes about metallurgy, machinery, etc. in modern China.

我国的无缝铁路,上千公里长度的钢轨全部焊接起来不留间隙,要耐受铁路沿途和一年四季的巨大温差,是有非常高的技术含量的,需要钢轨和扣件本身有高强度、要有合适的焊接工艺、要选择合适的温度条件把钢轨牢牢锁定在轨枕上、要在必要的情况下释放掉钢轨中的应力、要高水平的维护,所以最近哪怕南方大面积40度高温也没有影响高铁运行。

英国一方面基础设施水平相比于我们已经落后,另一方面气候温和可能没有耐受极端环境的要求,才出现这种拉跨的情况。

Wasn't this due to some mistranslation? I recall it was the yanks seeing a slogan at PLA base that said "继承革命传统,传承红色基因" or "continue the traditions of revolution, pass on the red gene" which is just a figurative way of saying remember the red army days and long march etc, but the translator didn't understand the metaphorical usage and thought "红色基因" was actually a real thing showing PLA was doing genetic augmentation for super soldiers.

Maybe we need a movie franchise by Wu Jing with a Captain America type getting super power in secret PLA underground lab by getting injected with those red genes.
