Countries closest to Ukraine/Russia boarder have made some of the sharpest increase in defense spending. Poland already increased its defense budget to almost 4% of its GDP - and have made the largest proportional increase defense spending in all of Europe.
yes they will remain announcements. it will have even more negative impact. No one should complain about India.

Over the last decade, the dependency ratio — the ratio of the number of people of non working age to the number of people of working age — has grown. According to Poland's social security office ZUS, in order to stop growth of this ratio, the number of foreigners of working age will have to increase annually by 200,000 to 400,000 people in Poland alone.

Trump is smart enough to understand that US doesn't have the power projection to defend Taiwan in china's backyard where china not only has a logistical, geographical advantage but also where china can use it's enormous shipbuilding prowess to outproduce and overwhelm the US navy.

Trump won't say that loudly to protect US ego but deep down he knows
I think folks are giving Trump too much credit, he's not going to go easy on China at all and he will likely try to make tougher moves to contain China.

In China performance is really all that matters and is always in front of appearances. Thats why people complain that Chinese athletes not have good appearances. But for people who are too shallow to even realize that results are everything, it's not worth caring about their views.
It's not about being shallow or putting appearances first. It's that China's so solid, they have nothing objective to criticize so "aesthetics" are all they can talk about because anyone can call anything beautiful or ugly. I took a look and I see nothing more impressive about the Mongolian outfit than the Chinese outfit. As a matter of fact, I much prefer the clean and bold look of the Chinese outfit that says proud of my country and right down-to-business for the medals. The Mongolian outfit has too much little stuff going on and it doesn't even look athletic.

SCMP praising the Mongolian Olympic team attire while deriding China's one as "ugly and sexist".

Yeah the Mongolian Olympic team has some pretty nice outfits. But in sports, its ability that wins medals, not looks. The Chinese Olympic team is still more formidable than the Mongolian team. Not because they look good, but because they are actually good.
One of the few times i agree with SCMP opinion on something Chinese.
Chinese outfit look extremely boring and western, a bit more hanfu style outfits would look better.

I bet some Chinese libtards from Shanghai made the decision to go with the Westernized outfits for China. Everyone who brainstormed this shit up, proposed it, and signed off on it should be put to the death via iron maiden or brazen bull.

man, that’s a nasty career ending foot injury, I don’t want to seem unkind so I wish him and his family a speedy recovery. Hopefully he will have grown wiser and less stupid about China.
Injury or not, he could at least had acknowledged the Hong Kong crowd with a simple speech or a friendly wave with a sincere "Thank you". That would have solved any misunderstanding.

It's a fuckin' red jacket over white shirt and pants. What is there to criticize? I find them completely fine; simple, striking color, to-the-point. If I had seen a better but still simple and bold athletic outfit built around the hanfu, I might go that way but I didn't see the choices and I don't see anything wrong. That's my team; I love how they look and I'm sure they'll make me proud with how they perform. That's it.

It already happened. Already increased to almost 4% of GDP, and have already made the largest proportional increase in defense budget in Europe in just 1 year (2022-2023). The only announcement is they plan on increase even more.

The Thai police seems to tell the press a lot of detail very quickly. Saying we believe it was murder-sucide is enough to calm fears of a loose killer but they go to details of room layout, body layout, cups, people entering, details of the room service etc. You would think they would want to keep quiet to review the events and look for other possible motives.
They are in a hurry to make public that the whole event do not have any connections to Chinese tourists. Bringing back memory of the Mekong River massacre of Chinese nationals years ago is bad for business.

In my opinion, I don't think that the Chinese Olympic team's attire is that bad. Yeah its kinda old-fashioned, but its not as terrible as the SCMP is describing it to be. It wouldn't have been an issue if it wasn't for SCMP and Western media's critical comparisons with the Mongolian team's attire. Would Chinese athletes looked better in hanfu-styled outfits? Sure, but this is just a small matter and its not important for the Olympics.

SCMP and Western media are looking for things to poke at China, because they don't have much left to criticize China objectively. They put too much emphasis on vanity over ability. China prioritizes ability and results first, that is why they can actually win more.

What truly matters is winning medals. Nobody will truly remember the outfits that athletes wear during the opening and closing ceremonies unless there were winners wearing them. Winners will make even ugly attires legendary, and people will just laugh the ugliness off.
