Man!! What's going on at the U.S. Senate? An intern so desperate for a promotion that he literally took the term "bent-over-backwards" to it's truest form in every sense of the word.

Bad news for him though is that he did not get the promotion, instead, he got fired from his job and facing possible criminal charges. When asked, he said he was feeling "BUM" about the whole situation.


At least they talk about it. Authoritarians governments don’t dare to report such things as gay sex orgies in the National People’s Congress because censorship…

No, alternatives is city and rural should have equal treatments. If the kid is rich but has more merit than the rural one, he deserves to get in. If he don't, no advantage. No more no less.

If a rural kid is achieving a performance close to a rich kid living in a city doesn't that mean the rural kid is smart is hardworking, thus has merit?

This is how it should be in the longer term.

But in the short term, how can we expect the same performance from the rich kid whose parents have both a PhD and the rural or migrant kid whose parents can barely read and write? I agree that it is unfair to penalize the rich kids that achieve higher test scores, but it is evident that we should take measures from early schooling that can isolate as much as possible the parental factor from the academic success in order to achieve the maximum potential as society.

As China Sides With Palestinians, Gaza War Could Strengthen Israeli Ties With Taiwan​

Chinese media outlets are telling the world that the United States being distracted by wars in Europe and Gaza could endanger Taiwan ahead of elections in January. However, one side effect of China's response might be to push Israel and Taiwan closer together

This is a serious article :eek:
A country that wants to separate cozying up with another country that will commit genocide to prevent separation.. is like saying water and oil pushed together.

Those "ELITES" want more "western democracy" so that they can easily buy/influence the easily bought politicians and ensure they get away with their debauchery, corruption, illicit drug use, prostitution just like in the west and many Asian countries dominated by their oligarchs. F..k em.
The problem is that they already have a powerful (if not almost dominant) voice within the CCP. No wonder you see so much oppositions to China’s industrial policies and attempt to reduce reliance on the real estate sector. By propping up the real estate market, there will be more inequality and less social mobility, making China even less democratic.

The freemasonic stooge Francis continues to bring shame upon the Holy See.

"Satan's smoke has made its way into the temple of God through some crack."—Pope Paul VI

Holy Shitster!! I don't know how to feel about this without coming across homophobic, but as a former practicing Christian/Catholic/Baptist I am very much against this recent decision by the current Pope.

But, such practice is pretty much in-line with Papals history of essentially meddling politics in their decision making as a way to keep and maintain the influence/relevance of the church especially in today's "modern civilized" hedonistic times.

Japan's Nippon Steel to acquire U.S. Steel for $14.9 bln​

The acquisition of U.S. Steel will help Nippon, the world's fourth largest steel maker, move toward 100 million tonnes of global crude steel capacity, while significantly expanding its production in the United States, where steel prices are expected to rise as automakers ramp up production following their recent deals with labor unions to end strikes.

Nippon did not give any projection on the value of the synergies that will arise from the deal that justify the price it will pay. It said the synergies will come from pooling advanced production technology and know-how in product development, operations, energy savings and recycling.

Nippon is paying the equivalent of 7.3 times U.S. Steel's 12-month earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, LSEG data shows. The median in the steelmaking industry is 7 times, and some analysts said U.S. Steel was worth less given that its $774 million takeover of the Big River steel mill in Arkansas in 2021 has yet to pay off in profitability.

"We feel Nippon is overpaying for those assets. This isn’t the technology space. This is still the cyclical steel industry," said Gordon Johnson, analyst at GLJ Research.

Bet you won’t see any republicans screeching about it. Japan just bought a big chuck of US steel production with a annual capacity of 22.4 million tons.

Talking about rural China...
Parents can barely read and write is scratching the surface... lighting and running water are luxuries, heat is directly proportional to amount of kindling collected, almost zero support structure for post-secondary aspirations...

It is a better now with the Poverty alleviation programs making progress, but even the government acknowledges much work is still to be done. Clearly OP has no clue what life in rural China is like.
