This is the combined effect of mobilized both not being able to work and also not being able to buy anything with the wages they would otherwise get from working. It's not to do with soft power or attracting foreign talent.
It's based because k-pop is a misogynistic industry that exploits women's bodies for marketing while working them to the bone, and at the same time inflicting insecurity and body dismorphia in young women. It's not based because it's "degenerate" or whatever other goofball ass shit this guy picked up from putinist accounts.
Israel goods trade deficit country. so buying less should not impact GDP that much. it is not full time remote warfare in trench that it impacts buying stuff anyway. but this exactly lack of Israel soft power that it cannot generate force structure from global diaspora who are fit and trained.
So called freedom of speech is no more.
Those who insult would face two years imprisonment and a fine of EUR 75,000, and those who directly provoke hatred or violence against the State of Israel with five years of imprisonment and a fine of EUR 100,000.
“With 16 senators we demand the criminalization of anti-Zionism. The explosion of anti-Semitism is fueled by hatred of Israel, the false nose of hatred of Jews Anti-Zionism could expose its perpetrators to up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros,” Le Rudulier stated on X.
Senator Le Rudulier has also called for the dissolution of La France Insoumise, as well as parties that have advocated terrorism and Hamas, which he says call for the destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews.
In a letter addressed to Élisabeth Borne, the senator denounces the presence of what he calls a “fifth column of Palestinian terrorism in France” and calls for the dissolution of several political groups accused of advocating terrorism.
Some political commentators have said there has been an increase in the conflation of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Richard Wagman, the honorary president of the French Jewish Union for Peace (UJFP), has criticized the conflation, emphasizing that anti-Semitism is a form of racial discrimination and hatred, while Zionism and anti-Zionism are political ideas.
A group consisting of 16 French senators, most of them associated with the political party The Republicans (LR), introduced a bill, led by Senator Stéphane Le Rudulier, aimed at making anti-Zionism a criminal offense. Senator Le Rudulier argues that the rise in anti-Semitism is linked to hatred of Israel.
The proposed bill, which was submitted for a first reading in the Senate, includes penalties for various offenses related to anti-Zionism. It seeks to punish those who deny the existence of the State of Israel with one year of imprisonment and a fine of EUR 45,000.Those who insult would face two years imprisonment and a fine of EUR 75,000, and those who directly provoke hatred or violence against the State of Israel with five years of imprisonment and a fine of EUR 100,000.

No. Economic retaliation is well within China's sovereign rights and does not consitute bullying. If you piss me off, I will not do business with you. It's simple and well-principled. If you think that's bullying then refusing to go back to a restaurant because you have personal issues with the owner must be bullying too.
My bottom line actually makes sense in any society while your bottom line is tyranny on a grand scale and barbarianism/hooliganism/uncivilized behavior on a personal scale. It's illegal in any society to act the way you wish and that includes in China. Physical violence used against someone who is acting within his rights, regardless of your benefit or liking, is against the law in every country. Once again, if you flip what you said and it now sounds unacceptable to you, then your original sentence was as well.
"America is within its rights to use any means up to and including military force to compel surrounding countries to sever military ties to China."
Sound good? Like that?

U.S., European officials broach topic of peace negotiations with Ukraine, sources say
The conversations have included very broad outlines of what Ukraine might need to give up to reach a deal with Russia.Biden is probably going to ask Xi to pass a message to Putin during APEC.

Moved the following discussion from the Israel-Palestine thread to here:
You're ignoring the fact that 1) Hamas does not represent the sole government of Palestinians while the Israeli government does, and 2) Israel holds the dominant power in this relation, and therefore the onus for de-escalation lies with them. To bring up the truism: where there is oppression, there is resistance. The first step toward peaceful co-existence requires ending the oppression.
Again, not true.
In Xinjiang, Han and Uyghur Chinese are 42% and 44% respectively, making the demographics actually similar to the Israeli-Palestinian demography. The Han majority in the rest of China matters not except as a basis for economic development, as the policies implemented in Xinjiang are unique to the autonomous region.
I don't know why you brought up the Qing dynasty, as it has nothing to do with the Israel-Palestine conflict. Your understanding of the rise and fall of the Qing dynasty also appears to be fundamentally flawed. Han restoration sentiment was never a major factor during the Qing dynasty, otherwise Wu Sangui would have received a lot more support than he did. Feudal China did not have nationalism, and Han superiority was only a sentiment among the scholarly elite. The common folk couldn't care less who ruled them.

China is using economics as leverage to override SK's sovereign decision making. That's called economic coercion. SK has hesitated to deploy additional US THAADs btw, it has succumbed to the pressure. It worked very well.

Since US farmers like Trump so much, China should do a Trump on them. Trump says he wants to payout less per dollar owed to countries that bought US treasuries and bonds. He said he does that to entities he owes money to because if they want their money, since it's a lot, they'll have to take it or get nothing. He has lawyers that delay any court case where the party that he owes money eventually gives up and takes less than what he owes. That's what China should do to US farmers where China places an order then when its almost ready to ship, demand they charge less.
Nikki Haley says if she's President, she'll make China dependent on the US for food. How does she propose how to do that? It would have to involve violating human rights where either she'll have destroy the arable lands of other countries that would be competition to them or she would militarily invade China to takeover and force Chinese to buy only from the US. And remember this... she's only saying it because that's what US farmers want to hear.

Translation... the West can't fight a two front war even when they aren't doing the fighting.
