For those English learners in China who are as open-minded, well-read, and intelligent as some followers of this website, sooner or later they will find out that they have been duped by the Western MSM. I'm saying this from my personal experience. I was once an avid reader of Western MSM. Not anymore, in fact, now it's often the case that I take the opposite view of whatever the Western MSM peddle about China.
More than 50% is a majority. More than 700 million Chinese support a full-scale war is good enough for now.
China is building infrastructures and promoting peace, trade, and common prosperity all over the world. Conclusion:
China poses the 'biggest challenge of our age to global security and prosperity'.
LMAO - the copium for Bakhmut is just ludicrous.
How likely it is that Ukraine will experience the economic boom Japan experienced between 1960 and 1990?
With the power of f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶s̶h̶i̶p̶ white supremacy they will surpass those asiatic mongrels in no time! Oh and with the power of lower boundary double digit IQ.
China is harming US national security by cutting off monkeys.
Such is the Ghoulish nature of the atlanticists, themselves a product of Pizzagate parties.
More accurately, Chinese culture is at odds with Anglo chauvinist cultures such as that in modern India. There was no issue between the Mughals and China (although perhaps muslim Pakistan has more claim to the Mughals than India), but there was certainly issue with Indians aping Anglos such as during the 60s and Doklam and Galwan.
Again, why don't the anglo americans use that superior freedom and liberal democratic thought to innovate better?
That was the selling point of the Washington Consensus during the 90s to today, after all. 'Become a white worshipping cuck slave to anglo america and you will get high technology'.
Of all the ridiculous posts about Ukraine I have read in the past year, this is one of the most insane.
In Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine, one of his weapons is Russia’s status as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, which entails the power to block any resolution. It’s a legacy of World War II and the decision to reserve this status to the five victors, including the Soviet Union.
But the Soviet Union no longer exists. Russia’s membership is owing to another, far more obscure event, a meeting on Dec. 21, 1991. The U.S.S.R. was about to be officially dissolved. Leaders from 11 of the 15 newly independent states—all but Georgia and the Baltics—gathered in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan (now Almaty).
The result, after a few hours of debate: a letter from Russian President Boris Yeltsin to the U.N. secretary-general informing him of the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States and the agreement that Russia would succeed the Soviet Union at the Security Council.
The recipient might have observed that nothing in the U.N. Charter allows a group of states to dispose of the seat of a permanent member. He might have objected to the notion of a “successor state,” which appears in no law or official text. He might have noted that nine of the 11 states that made this decision weren’t U.N. members at the time. (Ukraine and what is now known as Belarus were founding members, giving the Soviets three seats for the price of one.) Given the novelty of the situation and the importance of the Security Council, the secretary-general should at least have demanded a formal debate in the General Assembly. Instead, Yeltsin’s notification was ratified without discussion. Many U.N. member countries heard about it on the news.
Russia’s permanent membership and the veto power it confers have no legal basis. The Russian Federation has terrorized the world for decades under a false pretense. Which brings me to an idea: Ask the U.N. to reopen the dossier and to re-examine the original power grab that laid the foundation for our current disorder. Consider how, from Bucha to Mariupol and through to the deportation of thousands of children out of Donbas, Russia has flouted the foundational principles of the U.N. And revoke the authority that Yeltsin and Mr. Putin snatched.
What then would become of the 1945 pact and the heritage of the “Great Patriotic War”?
The Red Army’s First Ukrainian Front did more than its share in World War II—among other things, liberating the Auschwitz death camp. And if there’s a former Soviet country that stands for anti-Nazism today, it’s Volodymyr Zelensky’s Ukraine.
Ukraine can and should inherit the rights of a fallen Russia. Remove the Russian Federation from its seat as a permanent member and transfer it to Ukraine. Memory permits it, morality wishes it, and an open debate among united and sovereign nations could decide it.

This man needs to be ignored and laughed out in any room with this dumb ass of a commentary. Mr. Levy has been talking, writing nonsense a top his perched Ivory tower that he's forgotten how to live a normal human being free from the trappings of his overpaid meandering nonsense that's produced nothing of significance or even life changing in any part of the global south. I would write much harsher words to describe this vulgar of a man but that would be inappropriate.
