Nah..It's a good opportunity if true. If China can assist in stopping the fighting, not only will it help China's international image (as it seems CPC is now keen to switch away from Wolf Warriors), it will also enable Chinese companies to get lots of reconstruction work and other business, which they'd likely be locked out of if China is seen as being on Russia's side. Just talking costs nothing, and the potential upsides are significant.

The shamelessness of the Ukrainian government knows no bounds; they stole Chinese investment monies (Motor Sich) and still expect Chinese help?It's a good opportunity if true.

He is weak and need to grow a spine, IF Duterte is still President he will stated again Very Vocally his Independent Foreign Policy which is "Friends to All, Enemy to None". Agonizing over such trivia matters is a joke as the survival of the country is at stake. A great stateman can successfully navigate if he put National Interest First rather than satisfying the concern of others.
Hard PASS. Not on stopping the War in Ukraine but in your futile and insulting label that China fighting for her interest and the interest of the Chinese people is somehow too what? Menacing that it offends western sensibilities? Too freaking bad.It's a good opportunity if true.

He might not be able to tap into the iwealth the family did manage to "accrue" while his father was in office since it's stashed at Swiss banks under the control of the U.S.He is weak and need to grow a spine, IF Duterte is still President he will stated again Very Vocally his Independent Foreign Policy which is "Friends to All, Enemy to None".

But coming home to the Anglo american heartland with its many Freedom and absence of propaganda meant being able to indulge in classic american culture such as live fire drillsWe weighed the pros of the Chinese route (our girls would learn fluent Mandarin and, hopefully, a broadened worldview) and the cons (exposure to Communist Party propaganda and potential social isolation of being foreigners in a group of Chinese students). We took the plunge.
...
At times, our girls would repeat propaganda or, concerned about keeping up with their peers, despair that we hadn’t tutored them earlier in math
In some ways, the culture shock coming home feels stronger than when we first arrived in China. We’ve returned to a divided America where many feel government has no place in our lives. For the first time, I’m a parent in America of two daughters navigating their middle and high school years. Resilient, open-minded and independent, they are thriving here, but it’s been an adjustment. They had their first live-shooter drill at school recently, and we’ve adjusted our senses to be on alert in a way we never needed to in Shanghai. In these times, I find myself missing my Chinese co-parent.
