More sanctions and this time including Erik Prince's Frontier Services Group. I don't know why China would be bothered to host Blinken. Maybe all these recent sanctions are just the US desperately pressuring China for a meeting.

Reminds me of all the grumbling about Chinese extraterritorial police.

That billion dollar propaganda fund by the US Congress demands to see products
These are from a real scientist:
This @thetimes (The Times and Sunday Times) article is the most scientifically inept and journalistically shameful article on Covid origins I have read so far (the bar was high).

Here’s the level of “evidence” presented in the Times article: Unnamed scientists told unnamed investigators that they *believed* something was on. This isn’t “evidence” nor a revelation, this is a rumour.

To be continued...

...continued from above:
In less than a week from now, information behind some of the article’s key claims (including the “sick researchers”) should be declassified. I am looking forward to reading these documents
Had there been anything substantial in the classified documents, they would have been leaked a long time ago.

Those jerks/cia post "similar" stories in the US/West every 4-6 weeks. A bunch of propagandist/media talks about it, the general population thinks something new is found or they are closer to the discovery that CHINA blah blah.
The modern word for it is "gaslighting".

Why China needs to strengthen its nuclear strike force ASAP:

Imbeciles like this will never understand that national sovereignty and territorial integrity are priceless for China and they will be protected with any cost.

Parisians must live with rats – mayor​

Around six million of the rodents are estimated to live in the City of Light

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo plans to form a committee to explore whether citizens in the French capital should learn to live alongside rats in peaceful coexistence rather than attempt to exterminate the vermin, a city official said last week.

“With guidance from the mayor, we have decided to form a committee on the question of cohabitation,” Anne Souyris, Paris’ deputy mayor for public health, said at a meeting of the Council of Paris on Thursday.

The newly announced policy represents a significant departure from previous measures implemented in Paris to tackle the city’s estimated six million rats. The capital’s 2017 anti-rat plan funneled $1.8 million of its funds into a range of anti-rodent policies, such as the installation of airtight trash bins and the large-scale use of rat poison at thousands of sites across the city.
The rat problem is thought to have been exacerbated by recent pension-reform protests in Paris, which saw refuse go uncollected on city streets for weeks.

And with Paris’ rat population still outnumbering its human counterparts by a ratio of around 3:1, new measures are being considered – with Souyris saying the committee will establish “the most efficient” way for Parisians and rats to coexist that are “not unbearable” for people who live in the city.

Critics, though, say the plan amounts to simply throwing in the towel on the rodent issue. “Anne Hidalgo’s team never disappoints,” tweeted politician Geoffroy Boulard, who has frequently highlighted the city’s “proliferation of rats.” He added that “Paris deserves better.”
Some animal rights groups are more welcoming of new plans. Previous control methods were “ineffective and cruel,” Paris Animal Zoopolis said. “New methods [are] essential.”

Paris has long had a tempestuous relationship with vermin. Rats were largely responsible for the spread of the bubonic plague, which killed half of the city’s population in the 14th century. However, the animals also helped citizens stave off starvation during the 1870-71 Siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian war.

Paris is not alone in attempting to devise new methods of addressing age-old problems like rat infestations. New York appointed its first so-called ‘rat czar’ in April to deal with its own rodent problems, while the French city of Toulouse has employed the use of ferrets to help bring the rat population under control.

The time has indeed changed.
Some universities that are little known outside China are rapidly surpassing their more established counterparts in the West – including Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton and Caltech – in high-quality scientific research, according to the latest Nature Index.

Seven of the top 10 university contributors were from China in the updated list – maintained by the academic journal Nature – that tracks contributions to research articles published in 82 of the world’s most influential natural science journals.


In other news, Iran may have 10% of the world's lithium reserve.
It is expected that Iran's economic position and geopolitical influence will grow even greater soon, especially in light of the discovery of a massive lithium field containing 8.5 million tons of the precious mineral, making it the second-largest in the world after Chile. It is located in the Hamedan province in western Iran.

Thus, this discovery is not only significant because it holds 10% of the world's "white gold" reserves, currently estimated at around 89 million tons, but also because it has the potential to buff the Iranian economy and seemingly nullify the effectiveness of the imposed sanctions. It is considered a "winning trump card" for the Islamic Republic.
