This is pretty interesting, 2 Russian Navy ships allegedly came or patrolled near TAiwanese provincial coastal waters.

Taiwan doesn't believe in freedom of navigation.
Reminding them of how freedom of navigation works in the rest of the world is often necessary.

First install solar energy then block the sun?
Something doesn't add up
Of course the west is not going to block the sun over their own heads, they will block the sun over poor coloured countries and then make the poor coloured countries pay for the upkeep of the sun blockers. That’s the western way.
Why are the Wanwanese spooked? Those are just frigates.
Just wait until either of the Kirov twins appear off Kaohsiung (hopefully)...
In the meantime, Beijing and Moscow should start working towards establishing a wartime joint command (of some sort) between elements of the PLA and the Russian military.

They are kind of relying on their readership being pretty unthinking. 4000 RMB per month is a decent salary, do they have dorms too? The working conditions are probably not great, but we all have to grind out a life. Elon Musk is praised for sleeping in the factory, so what is so wrong with Shein? Sometimes work is just hard...
I always despised this kind infantilization of developing countries. Having attended a very "progressive" university, I was often treated to rallies against globalization and what not. I asked them some simple questions like "Do you think they are forced to work in these factories at gunpoint?", "What do you think they would rather be doing rather than this factory work?". They never really think of that. I do think we should strive to improve working conditions, make sure things are safe, but salaries are rarely the issue. Really people are attracted to these factories because the alternative is backbreaking subsistence farming with an irregular income.
The infiltration of the teaching profession was so utterly through. Now there is a shortage of teachers because so many left HK. The sheer numbers are amazing, I definitely think that the profession was identified as a weak point by western intelligence agencies, the targeting seems too precise to be simple coincidence.
Aah now it makes sense, force others to take solar and then block their time in the sun...
Education (from high school to tertiary/university) and journalism were a cesspool of spies and 5th columnists, with the latter still a cesspool but with less numbers of creatures (many fled to Wanwan) who are more well behaved as the National Security Law is now in place. Up until 2020, the Chinese University in Shatin had a high-profile democracy thinktank (forgetton the full name) that was funded by the notorious US National Endowment for Democracy and a German political party, and no one batted an eye...
Coincidently, the shortage of teachers is not that acute, as low birth rates for the last 20 years coupled with the fact that no new Mainland Chinese migrants arrived in the last few years, for obvious reasons, meant that schools are actually closing down because of the lack of students. The fleeing of roach teachers and dwindling student numbers cancel each other out.
Meanwhile in 'merica...

Emma Brown, 12, shot her father, Daniel Brown, 38, in the abdomen at their home in Poolville, , around 30 miles from Fort Worth on September 20, 2022. Emma shot herself in the head and died in hospital two days later.
Exclusive pictures obtained by DailyMail.com show the father, who survived, and daughter smiling as they posed with a rifle and handguns together before the horror incident.
The seventh grade student had plotted to kill her entire family and pets, along with another 12-year-old girl from Lufkin, Texas, though it is unclear how they met.
Parker County District Attorney's office confirmed that the second girl, who has not been identified, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

The grade seven pupil had plotted to kill her entire family and pets, along with another 12-year-old girl from Lufkin, Texas, though it is unclear how they met
A spokeswoman was unable to give details of the sentence handed to the girl, because of Texas state law protecting the identity of juveniles charged with a crime.
They added: 'The charge was not dismissed. The allegations were fully prosecuted with a final disposition of the case occurring on March 14, 2023.'
A lawyer for the surviving girl did not respond to a DailyMail.com request for comment.
Brown died two days after shooting herself in the head, with police confirming that she had been planning to drive 230 miles to pick up her pal before driving to Georgia.
A dispatch call from the night of the incident reveals that Brown took off on foot down the driveway, making it just a few hundred yards before shooting herself in the head.
The emergency services worker can be heard saying 'the daughter just shot him' in the master bedroom, after saying 'nothing', and it was understood she had been getting ready for bed.
Officers later discovered the schoolgirl lying on the dirt road, with a handgun underneath her body.
The family home appeared to have installed a gate at the front of the property, with a 'No Trespassing' sign put up shortly after the tragedy.

A source told DailyMail.com: 'It's an awful tragedy. Her parents didn't know anything about the other girl, they still don't.'
Her father also has an FFL license, meaning that he is legally able to store and sell firearms at the family home.
Brown also went to a fathers and daughters dance at Peaster Elementary, where she was a pupil, though it is unclear if she attended with her father.
Daniel was released from hospital shortly after the incident and is expected to make a full recovery, according to authorities.
Relatives of Brown did not respond to multiple requests for comment when approached by DailyMail.com.
A cause of death for Brown was given as suicide by Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office, with the autopsy report sealed.
Parker County Sheriff's Office and Peaster Elementary did not respond to a request for comment by DailyMail.com.
Mayor of Peaster, Don Smelly, said he was 'unable to comment' on the incident.
A spokesman for Parker County Sheriff's Office said previously: 'The 12-year-old female juvenile involved in the shooting incident in northwestern Parker County on Sept. 20, 2022, succumbed to her injuries on Sept. 22, at a local hospital.

'The second 12-year-old female from Lufkin, who Sheriff's investigators believe was involved with the planning of the shooting, was taken into custody last week and has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.'
It remains unclear why the girls wanted to kill their families and run away.
'It doesn't matter if they live in a small town or a big city. Things like this can happen, unfortunately,' Lufkin Communications Director, Jessica Pebsworth, said.
'I will say that this case is definitely a time to remind parents that it's very important to know who your children are friends with, whether that's in the classroom, social media apps, Snapchat, TikTok and then also gaming platforms.'
Cops said they are withholding the names of the girls due to their age, and are also not releasing the name of the wounded father to protect the kids.
