This opens the pathway for all those uighur and Xinjiang cotton producers to sue western propagandists for defamation and renders the western politicians and their children as liabilities when they become "Pompeo'd". Good luck cashing in on your corruption when you're out of office.China can now legally fight back against western bullies.
You keep bringing this up, but in what scenario would the Kims even contemplate such a thing?There is no need for NK to have nukes. China will defend it with conventional weapons and troops. China will never tolerate attacks on NK by anyone (other than herself).
Having nukes around you that are not under your control is never a good idea. What if a Kim goes nuts and decided to nuke Beijing one day? That's why China joined the sanctions to force the Kims to give up the nukes since she has little leverage over the Kims.
Quoting from the article:I suspect as much but China isn't the only one has hidden currency reserve.
You mean that "bit of a problem" is actually a major problem for the petrodollar hegemony.“China’s lack of transparency here is a bit of a problem for the world,” Setser wrote. “China structurally is so central to the global economy that anything it does, seen or unseen, will eventually have an enormous impact on the rest of the world.”
France has high youth unemployment rate for very long time. so highly likely even if they get jobs in later years they may not have higher standard of living due to lack of wealth. and than state separating religion from governance and trying to integrate these other people.What are the odds the protests are being instigated by the US as punishment for Macron trying to pull away from the US influence? Macron going to China, wanting to go to the BRICs conference, French companies using Yuan to buy things?
Its disproportionate retribution but that's exactly the western mindset: put one toe out of line and its execution for you!
France has for years struggled with high rates of unemployment among young people, although it had been between 2016 and 2020. It dropped from 24.9 percent to 20.3 percent for men and from 23.9 percent to 19.9 percent for women between 15 and 24 during that four-year period.
But it slightly increased with the pandemic. According to ,19.5 percent of young people under 25 were unemployed in March 2021 vs. 19.3 percent in February 2020.
Relationships between countries are all based on interests. How were the relationship between Vietnam and China in the 60’s? Blood brothers? How low did the relationship go after the end of the war? Do you think it is in China’s interest for Vietnam to have nukes?China needing to defend NK with conventional military means the potential to open a second front when Taiwan is already flashpoint. It gives the US one more vector to challenge China's red line.
The argument that the NK leadership could one day "go nuts" and nuke Beijing is pretty much entirely from Western propaganda.
If NK doesn’t have nukes, China can send in troops to quash any regime-change attempts. However, since NK has nukes and if the rebels managed to get their hands on nukes and threaten to use them on China if she send in troops, China most likely can only watch while NK gets regime changed. Is that a good outcome for China?You keep bringing this up, but in what scenario would the Kims even contemplate such a thing?
The number one priority of the Kim regime is to stay in power. This is why they have been so adamant on developing their own nukes. Nukes are the best way to ensure your regime won't be toppled by external powers.
Nukes are an extra insurance policy - on top of the existing Sino-North Korean defence treaty - against American-backed regime change. China has tried to influence NK politics, but has shown zero desire to topple the Kims. Chinese intervention in the Korean war is the reason why the Kims are in power, and the North Korean economy would quickly collapse without aid and trade from Beijing.
Nuke China = take out an entire city and couple million civilians before the entirety of the NK peninsula gets plastered back to the stone age. Again, if the goal is to prevent regime change, why do such a thing? As much of a shitshow North Korea is, I do still believe the Kims are rational actors with regard to safeguarding their interests.
It is obvious that Hispanic workers are probably more productive. Otherwise, no employers would be willing to pay extra for immigrant workers.
The Labor Department announced its findings six months after two agriculture businesses in the Delta filed on behalf of local Black farmworkers over claims that farms hired white laborers from South Africa and paid them more than the local Black employees for the same type of work.
The possibility of North Korea going 'rogue' as you put it is unlikely precisely because the Kims are in power.Please look up the histories of Sino-NK relationships. Kims were never friendly toward China. The threat of NK using nukes on Beijing severely limits what China can do if NK goes rogue.
Do you think letting Vietnam to have nukes a good idea? China and Vietnam used to be “blood brothers” too.
