This is what most Western MSM do: being an echo chamber for the propaganda of their regimes or gaslighting their readers for the ruling elites.

CPC official: it's justified and moral to starve 2 million Uyghurs to death.

Why the unwinding of the Yen carry-trade also causes massive selloff of US stocks:

Rahm Emanuel is puzzled why no one sees the rise of Japan.

Some Westerners are such juvenile sore losers.

Some statics about doping:

You know how US athletes dope? By claiming that they have to take medications for their diseases. Hacked documents reveal that hundreds of American athletes do this. Phelps openly claims that he needs to take medications for asthma. His 23 Olympics gold medals don't mean much to me.

This is not even a meme stock market anymore, this is a meme country. Not possible anywhere else in the world.

Where is that Indian GPT troll who bragged about Nvidia valuations recently and their stock market 'strength', haha?

Yeah, remember when those Indian trolls talked about the Chinese stock market here?

You can have 1000 gazillion virtual stock market valuations, but if tangible reality is not behind it (earnings, etc), it will pop.

Everything in the West is based on virtual swagger, whereas everything in China is based on tangible and stable real results.

American capitalism means ppl like Pelosi can insider trade and Warren buffet can offload his stock to retail investors and when retail investors need to take action because of something like this carry trade/japan issue, then their trading platforms mysteriously suffer technical problems whilst large institutional investors can offload their stock. Retail investors ie the little guys are basically bagholders for the American elite.

But you don’t see the government going after large traders, anymore than the USG did anything about Madoff who was a member of the SEC and who only got done cuz his victims were Jewish.

An old article about therapeutic use exemptions.

In 2015, there were 1,330 TUEs entered into WADA's data management system. According to an analysis by the U.K.'s Sports Integrity Initiative, 63 per cent of these exemptions were granted in three countries — the United States, Australia and France.

"The U.S. in 2015 received 653 TUE applications and it granted 402 of those. So 61 per cent were granted, and that was a 46 per cent increase over the previous year, so a massive increase," says the Sports Integrity Initiative's Andy Brown. "Australia received 369 TUE applications and it granted 234 of those, about 60 per cent."

They're about to get even more mad as the Israel-Iran conflict escalates and puts their NTSC project with Iran in jeopardy (which was their dream child of countering China's OBOR). Poor strategic thinking as usual, now forced to choose between Iran and Israel. This will end in the same way as their former dream of a corridor to Afganistan via Iran: dead and shelved because India could not negate US sanctions. Some people just never learn. They dream of being an independent power, able to flex all it's muscles but what good is the muscle of a mule that's led and misled by others?
Its INSTC where that I stand for International. Iran is improving its infrastructure for connectivity. i am not sure why you irritated by this trade route.

Iran-Afghan trade now $3b.

It's quite remarkable seeing the US souring on pretty much all global institutions, WHO, WTO, IMF, WADA, UN, etc. Mind you, most of these institutions are still largely pro-US given that the US gov is their biggest donor but they also have to have a degree of neutrality to preserve legitimacy and that alone is enough for US politicians to start attacking these institutions for not being rabidly anti-China/Russia.
That and the rise of conspiratorial thinking among many Americans who now think these institutions "are captured by the CCP" just goes to show the extent of decline of US global stature.
