What the flying f..k is their MSS or whoever f..ng doing the vetting on selecting these f..kd up officers. Who even leaked this news to the FT for the 3rd bleeping time? I mean to quote the former British Spy and writer of James Bond, Ian Fleming: "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action"

If the investigation of Dong Jun was going to be announced at some point, it doesn't really matter when people found out. So the information could've been leaked on purpose to find a mole.

Is there any substance to this recent FT report from 12 minutes ago?

It is written by Demetri Sevastopulo who is basically the national security establishment spokesperson on FT. I guess the overall premise of the article is true, he is being investigated.

Now for the rest, who knows, the West loves to sprinkle little lies on big truths

What you think? Was the headline/article misleading?

"In other words, The Economist's "shrinking middle class" is actually showing Chinese households becoming TOO WEALTHY to fit their definition of "middle class." They've turned a story of rising prosperity - where increasing numbers of Chinese households are earning more than $25,000 per year - into a misleading narrative of decline by simply not showing households above their arbitrary $25,000 cap. This is like saying a country's middle class is "shrinking" because too many people are getting rich. It's technically true, but deliberately misleading."

"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he spoke to Donald Trump Monday night after the president-elect shared plans to use his first day in office to slap 25 percent tariffs on Canada.

“It was a good call,” Trudeau said this morning on Parliament Hill. “We obviously talked about laying out the facts, talking about how the intense and effective connections between our two countries flow back and forth.” "
