Bharat Supapowa ranks 111th out of 125 countries in the Global Hunger Report 2023.

Highest child wasting rate in the world. Then what good is that "demographic dividend"?


Bharat Supapowa dropped even further in the Global Hunger Index this year, by 4 places. Even when India have sent a probe to the moon. Even after India had hosted the G20 and proclaims itself as the "leader" of the Global South. Even after India had announced with its friends the: India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor.


Of course, the any ranking system that puts India in a bad light is wrong. An India ruled by the 56-inch chest Supapowa PM, Narendra Damodardas Modi can never fall this low in the Global Hinger Index! There has to be a global agenda against Bharat Supapowa. All off the world must be wrong, and the great PM, Modiji is always right!

LOL! This is impossible! How can a Bharat Supapowa rank 111th out of 125 countries in the Global Hunger Report 2023? Supapowa Bharat demands a reevaluation!


This is an insult! Supapowa India cannot rank lower in the hunger index than inferior nations like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, ever!


How dare the Global Hunger Report don't use Indian government data! PM Modiji never lies! The world should have just accepted his data!

Banchan Lama is another head of Gelugpa sect, so the religious landscape for the small religious population isn't going to change. But it doesn't matter really because of following.

I do agree to PRC terminating the Dalai lineage by not selecting a new Dalai lama. Unlike what western media says, I don't believe Chinese Tibetans care much about such religious figure head, most young tibetans with proper education are likely atheists. It took a short time, two or three generations for Europeans to throw away the church, for Han Chinese to throw away emperors, why should Tibetans be any different. It is only in western propaganda that somehow Tibetans is a different human species who are genetically coded to be more religious.
Nah I think the tibetan population is still deeply religous (including young people) because of the fact that CCP gave political power to both Chinese and Tibetan buddhist monks. But yeah Dalai Lama is going away as he loses influences to other lamas. Because my dad told me that Tibet has multiple lamas who allot of them (mostly non gelugpas) fought the Dalai Lama. Dalai Lama isn't even the head of Tibetan buddhism as he claims to be meaning that alot of people in Tibet don't even care about him or outright hate him before CCP or KMT. Even in whithin tibetan exiles there is already secterian conflict lol (Pedo Lhama persucted the bon religion until the 1970s).

This is a pretty trivial red herring. The fact of the matter is that they intentionally carried out an operation to kill as many non-combatants as they could, and this resulted in about 500 civilian deaths with hundreds more captured. That's already an atrocity by any objective metrics. Fixating on one point of possible propaganda about babies is just misdirection. Likewise Iraqi conduct in Kuwait was still insanely cruel even if the incubator incident never happened. Remember that the US, USSR, and PRC were in unanimous agreement that Iraq's actions were totally unacceptable and all voted in favor of intervention.
The distinction between "the factual and accurate report of atrocities" and "atrocity propaganda" does exist. For example:
If I state that a few Marines are psychopathic animal abusers, because the military is a reflection of the society at large, and there are animal abusers and psychopaths in any society, then it's just my expression of disapproval and anger to the behavior of a few animal-abusing and psychopathic Marines. However, if I claim that most Marines are psychopathic animal abusers and they probably treat local people not much better than animals, and are willing to kill them for fun like how they treated that poor puppy, then that sounds like "atrocity propaganda".

Bah, this train is never late, first there was:

Yes, that's someone from a Washington think tank.


I guess that's what it's like when you become a superpower, people think you got fingers in every pie and scheming all the time.
This is projection. China won't instigate a war to prevent competition with BRI. On the other hand, when China announced BRI in 2012, some other countries incited violence in Xinjiang, possibly in an effort to derail the project.

160 page report from Congress about US strategic posture. The below stuff is some recommendations.

Defeating China and Russia simultaneously.



China nuclear forces is no longer a small threat



Deploy US Nuclear Forces in Asia-Pacific.



Expansion of US nuclear weapons and removal of military spending caps.
Having to fight a two-front war with the world's prominent military and nuclear forces is the worst scenario possible. This is an open admission of US' total failure in its economic and political policies.

Guess all those shorts against Hong Kong came back to bite Soros. No wonder he hates China so much. You don’t break the bank of China, China breaks YOU.

Additionally, how’s Soros gonna fund all those programs and entities directed against China if he’s laying off 40% Staff?

American communist Jackson Hinckle is being intimidated by the governmen, as a political dissident.

This, coupled with persecuting Palestine supporters in corporate finance and higher education really lays bare that freedom of speech was always myth in the west.

Additionally, I do wonder if this clampdown on dissent foreshadows an attempt to control a society before a major war.

So much for freedom of speech/press in the West:

Wang Yi reminds the world of China's consistent view on Palestine.

"Both Palestinians and Israelis have the right for their own state on their own land. Security and safety of both Palenstinians and Israelis must be guaranteed."

王毅谈巴以局势:以色列人得到了生存的保障,巴勒斯坦人的生存谁来关心?​

巴勒斯坦问题始终是中东问题的核心,是当今世界不断被撕开的伤痕。这一问题的根源在于巴勒斯坦独立建国的夙愿迟迟未能实现,在于巴勒斯坦人民遭受的历史不公一直没有能够得到纠正。

以色列有建国的权利,巴勒斯坦同样有建国的权利,以色列人得到了生存的保障,巴勒斯坦人的生存谁来关心?以色列的民族已经不在世界上颠沛流离,巴勒斯坦民族何时才能重返家园?这个世界存在各种不公,而对巴勒斯坦的不公已经延宕了大半个世纪,承接了几代人的痛苦,不能再继续下去了。

Anyone notice every time there's a rocket attack on Israel all you see on TV is parking lots full of burning cars. Or how about at the music festival attack they already had bodies in body bags in a tent the same day of the initial attack. I read the festival took place near Gaza where Hamas terrorists were still operating the area days after.

And remember how the West said it was a war crime to cut-off food, water, and electricity to Ukraine.

The European Union's top diplomat is due to arrive in Shanghai on Thursday with a message for China: take us more seriously.

In an exclusive interview with the Post before his departure,

said China should stop viewing its relationship with Europe through the lens of its rivalry with the United States, adding that the bloc's more sober judgments on Beijing are made entirely independently.

"My first objective is to reaffirm to my Chinese interlocutors that Europe takes China seriously and has no hidden agenda aiming at derailing its rise.

"At the same time, we expect from China to take us more seriously and stop looking at us through the lens of its relations with others. Our assessment and conduct is driven by our own interests," Borrell said.

His comments reflect a frustration in Europe that Beijing does not accept that the union has come to its own conclusions on China as relations worsen.


China's state media often portrays the EU as a "puppet" of the US, but Borrell insisted that the "war in Ukraine has transformed us ... from the position of an economic power to a geopolitical one, taking its strategic responsibilities very seriously".

The EU's high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, is due to arrive in Shanghai amid turmoil in the Middle East, war in Ukraine, and heightened tensions between the US and China.

He travelled on the eve of China's Belt and Road Summit, a significant event in China's diplomatic calendar, which is expected to be attended by a single EU leader, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

Borrell will meet business figures and Chinese academics at the Shanghai Institutes For International Studies, a think tank linked to the foreign ministry, before flying to the Chinese capital for talks with Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday and to give a speech at Peking University.

Global issues will loom over the dialogue with Wang,

, which are not part of the official agenda but which will "no doubt" be raised, senior EU sources confirmed.

"There are also regional issues on which we can try to work together, including the Middle East, where the current violence in the Israel-Palestine conflict threatens the stability of the whole region," Borrell told the Post.

China has refrained from condemning Hamas' attack on Israel, but has expressed sorrow at civilian losses. So far at least 2,100 people have been killed on both sides.

"We're deeply saddened by the civilian casualties and oppose and condemn acts that harm civilians ... we oppose moves that escalate the conflict and destabilise the region and hope fighting will stop and peace will return soon," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Monday.

is also on the agenda, with Borrell saying the EU is "not totally convinced" that China is a neutral party. The Spaniard said Ukraine is also concerned by Beijing's stance.

It has never condemned the invasion that started in February last year, and its ambassador to Brussels Fu Cong

in a conflict that has become the dominant issue in EU foreign policy over the past 19 months.

European officials have regularly criticised Chinese spokespeople and state media for parroting Moscow's talking points.

"To be frank, in Europe

in this conflict. How to remain neutral between an aggressor and the country it has invaded?" Borrell said.

"Being neutral in such a case is just like watching on the sidelines as the fox enters the henhouse and waiting for the outcome."

Borrell described China's involvement in a peace conference Saudi Arabia hosted in Jeddah in August as a "good step", but said "China can certainly do more, including in its engagement on the peace formula put forward by Ukraine" and warned "a lot remains to be done to convince Ukraine that China is not on Russia's side".

Borrell said he understands why China does not adopt the same position as Europe, even as he cautioned it not to "endorse the Russian position".

"We are not expecting China to take the European line. We know the Chinese calculations and constraints behind this conflict and their tendency to look at it through the lens of its competition with the US," he said.

Borrell's trip to China is part of a series of visits by senior EU commissioners responsible for areas such as trade, digital affairs, energy and the environment. The cumulative goal is to lay the ground for a leaders' summit before the year's end, although no date has been set.

But the visits are also a chance to tell the Chinese leadership that the EU is unhappy with the current state of the relationship and intends to pursue a narrow form of de-risking, even if it has no intention of cutting ties with China completely.

The union recently launched an

in China, which it claims are distorting the European market, and is ready to slap tariffs on Chinese steel as part of an agreement with the United States.

A series of commissioners have floated the prospect of a probe into subsidies in China's wind turbine sector, but senior officials denied that there was anything imminent on that front.

"We are concerned by our trade imbalances, which are rapidly growing. Our massive trade deficit with China cannot be the mere product of a competitive disadvantage between the EU and China. It has to do with persistent market access problems encountered by European firms in China," said Borrell.

"The crux of the matter is that China is becoming less attractive. European firms can no longer send as many expatriates to China. We also care about the reaction of our public's opinion, considering the potential losses of jobs in critical sectors such as the automotives ... In a democratic system such as the European one, you cannot ignore what voters think," he added.

Asked about tensions in the Taiwan Strait, Borrell said that the EU remained "fully committed to its one-China policy", which he said is based on six principles including no formal recognition of the island as an independent state and no "intimidation, coercion and provocation from any side".

However, within that, Europe retained the right to nurture bilateral ties with Taiwan, "which do not imply any kind of political recognition as an independent country".

First, Europe needs a more competent representative before China take Europe seriously.
