If anything, according to Rep. Andy Kim, who sits on the select committee, the increase in tension between the two largest economies in the world should incentivize U.S. officials to engage with their counterparts even more. “When the chairperson or when someone else on [the select] committee talks about how China is an existential threat to the United States. That’s a real problem,” remarked Kim (D-N.J.) “When you call someone or something an existential threat, how do you have a conversation? How do you have engagement? How do you have diplomacy?”

Agreed. It would be exceptionally based if, for example, the CPC made it a national priority for fentanyl to be as easily accessible as water for every American.

Fresh clean water out of the tap is not readily available to a lot of Americans. Case in point look up flint Michigan. China needs to ensure the freedom of every American to access clean fresh "products".

I'm aware of this. Nowhere in my post did I specify that the water had to be clean.

That feeling when the fentanyl is purer than the water.

Americans are predictably going to say that senator Kim only said that because he’s Asian, because Americans perceive everything in terms of race. The anglos who lack the mental security of China, desperately need to appeal to white supremacy to maintain power over Europeans

Good to see if real. China, for long, constrained its foreign policy by limiting itself to contacts with national governments. I have an unpopular opinion that it would be quite based if China was actually doing some of the things Western media is accusing it of.

For the most part, I think this is true due to the "no interference in domestic politics" policy but I think that rule is subject to interpretation cuz sometimes you see china actively developing relationship with opposing politicians in other countries. Like for Japan, I think they have invited pro china politicians to China for discussions, or maybe they were retired already, I can't remember for sure.

Yeah Prof Jin also pretty much said this. Not need to panic. There are several factors behind Yoon turning to full on American puppet, even playing with china's red line of Taiwan. The economic competition, trade surplus, internal politics etc. Unfortunately he also thinks things are unlikely to change with Yoon in charge and sino Korean relationship will be difficult in the future.

Yep. I have heard cats will take bites at their own dead owners body while a loyal dog will stand by the corpse and mourn.

Strange stuff appearing on the net, is it a real threat or it's just mega trolling ?

Thousands of Brides in India by Husbands Overseas

Thousands of Indian women have been abandoned by men working overseas, leaving them trapped in their in-laws’ homes and often defrauded of dowry money.

It's quite sad for these abandoned brides back home. Even if they know their husband overseas are up to hanky Panky stuff.

There was a case in sydney of a well known respectable married Indian who drug raped many young Korean women. Well not recent, the rapist commited his crime many years ago but was recently found guilty court.

Anyway his wife back home also found out he had a failed extramarital affair in sydney before the rapes. But still she defended her criminal disloyal husband in court, I guess because she is afraid of reprisals at home. Very sad state of affairs.

This should be the common problem of chinese expats where their child could not cope with the very demanding china education system and have to be sent to international school

They also probably paid attention that Chinese government is serious about common prosperity while the western media will have us crying about uber rich chinese tycoons getting less uber rich.
