So NATO expansion in Asia does not make much sense. It will be even less meaningful after Russia's victory in Ukraine.

Would you be able to link the source for this? I have been trying to find information about this event but have not found anything English outside this forum.
I'm able to read/speak Chinese but not familiar with the Chinese Internet.
There's an ongoing wildfires engulfing all over Canadian forests and parks. From the west coast to the east coast province of Nova Scotia. These wildfires have made the air quality very bad to the point that Environment Canada has issued warnings to the public. The severity of the wildfires and its effects has even reached and affected NYC and other Eastern U.S. States.
I wonder, if all the derisking that countries in the west like Canada has been pushing for, what would happen to the "pristine air quality" that they're oh so proud to batter China over with. I mean, I remember the complaints and the environmental issues caused by the steel industry in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This is a commentary but as unfortunate this news is to everyone that lives in Canada including some of our fellow SDF members I just can't help but chuckle from the sheer hypocrisy and fragility of the folks here and elsewhere. Let's see how this country will handle the commodities needed to produce those "strategic rare earths" and other metals needed for the renewable sources of energy. Would their cities be smog, pollution free as well with a fraction of most Chinese major cities? Hmm...

A lot of these "air pollution" indicators consider dust/sand storms (as well as forest fires) as "pollution". Arabs have been living in it for thousands of years, and they're completely fine.
Besides the belt of cities that are neighboring deserts, the "air quality" in China is as good as it can get in any advanced economy.
Back when US had hegemony over industrial power, their air quality was about the same as what China has now, and just because they lost most of their capabilities to China, the pollution in America did not get noticeably better.
Health dangerous air pollution only emerges due to faulty filters and poor urban planning. The amount of health dangerous air pollution in China is negligible, as proven by a high life expectancy and lack of healthcare related issues.
Regardless of whether you're pro China or pro America, this is a hypothesis you should accept. If you're pro China, it lines up with the reality of living in China, where air quality is largely pristine. If you're pro America, you do not want to portray America as having radically better air quality than China, because Americans on average experience more early deaths based on such issues. So implying that US has better air yet more people die from it means indirectly insulting the government's healthcare system.
Yes. US Culture War is a cultural revolution. It is just people live better than China of the 1960s so they aren't killing each other in large numbers. I also just said the LGBT movement had to tone down the politics or they would have active opposers, which would defeat the original purpose of the movement.
Arab life expectancy was very short and population did not grow much until later part of 21st century. now they are outperforming most of the world in demographics.
for industrialization either cold weather or tropical weather most conductive. I just look Canadian historical data. fire season mostly from July and more towards West Coast. This year it started in late April and in East Coast. so either abnormal pattern or arson.
if this pattern persist than Canada will need very large fire fighting force.
F-22 is getting more balloon kills soon.
