I think this lady falls sorta libertarian but maybe the few western youtube/tv "reporter" (or poltical grifter, however you see it) that nails the Uyghur issue fairly. She starts by saying that China had a terrorism and seperatism issue. She explain that a small part of the Uyghur population were into a form wahabism which could lead that ideaology. China decided to jail, educated, assimilation to greater china, and provide economic development to these people to pacify them. She sees it as the better choice than what the west has done and ponders that the "genocide" myth was to demonize china because China actually has a non-freedumb-bombing working solution.

Anyways , maybe a good link to spam idiots on the web that always "but the uyghurs!"

This reminds me about the whereabouts of Adrian Zenz, now that a real genocide of Muslims is going on? In fact, the West MSM will give you a pass no matter how extreme your viewpoint actually is as long as your are anti-China.

Modern day barbarians you say?

Oh no! Another one was heart-attacked by Xi!

Even some Jews can't tolerate the situation in Gaza anymore.

Funding is the least problematic imho when it comes to these hard infrastructure projects. It is building and engineering capability that is lacking in supply.
Sorry, there are a lot of OFW that are willing to come home and work on this project, plus the Chinese can provide the engineering expertise themselves. The Main problem is the right of way, corruption and POLITICS. usually BIG ITEM infrastructure is a major source of corruption, the Chinese having learn their lesson from the aborted North Rail project wanted a counterpart funding instead of lending money directly to gov't institution. This take time, within the 6 years of Duterte administration, major plan including engineering and feasibility studies had been undertaken and completed in 2019, covid delay the release as the Philippine used those counterpart fund to buy vaccine and the rest is history as Marcos bungle his Foreign Policy BIG TIME, by selling our leverage to the American for $15 million....lol

I was thinking SEA railway projects are getting too overstretched (Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia).
This makes things easier:

You choose your lots, why not ask the American for funding ;) you can't have it both ways. Let see if the Japanese will be willing to fund those risky investment and your overstretched statement applied to them not to the Chinese. There is smugness among the Marcos official , they want to put a brave face and the shift the blame to Duterte for trusting the Chinese. Let's see in 5 years time what major changes he had done to improve the lives of ordinary Filipino, right now he had an abysmal record, it look like we regress and most of us here are filling the pain without effective policy to mitigate it.

The Filipinos really love to talk big and tough when all that tough talking stems from their Supreme and unwavering belief that America will fight China to the last Filipinos!! Lol...

I talked to some Filipinos in Canada, and those that are very pro-west/America really believe that the PH must push China in the SCS and to never compromise because they have the American military force behind to defend and fight for the PH just as they had done so back in WWII. I just laugh and tell them, it's their country's and people's funeral.

I feel sad for the ordinary Filipino who were looking forward to a brighter future of development.

But for the Filipino elites and Bong Bong, you guys please just continue to fool around and find out. Please take loans from big brother USA and see what develops in the Philippines. The only thing that might develop is the military, which will still be nothing against China. Meanwhile the ordinary Filipinos don't see any improvements in their living standards. Then let's see how popular you guys will get.
Bro for $15 million, well at least it can buy a Mcdonalds Happy meal with large fries and unlimited drinks. ;)

I just saw and read the tweets of that smug, arrogant, bellicose posts PH Coast guard officer calling China as modern day barbarians. His way of expressing himself endears him to his stupid base of clueless Filipinos and western masters wanting to use idiot countries like the PH to disrupt and destroy the economic ascendancy of ASEAN and China so that western countries can remain the only viable option and on top.

This meeting at the State Dept seems very tense.
Wang Yi is going to meet with Sullivan first then Biden.

Transcript of Wang Yi and Blinken's Photo OP from US embassy in China Weibo


I didn't catch what Wang Yi said on camera, turns out he laughed that Blinken's introduction is so short.
At least Wang Yi had been given some snack compare to their previous Alaska meeting and please ask for some hot water for Ramens incase those snacks are inedible.;)
