So basically the lawyers took 1 million dollars from the children, justice served!
In the words of my brother…
“If I’m rich, obviously I want to be able to buy justice, what’s the point of having a lot of money if you can’t use it?”

State Department cuts China policy staff amid major overhaul
The hilarious parts extracted for convenience, because it reads like a whining and crying article.
Disarray and downsizing in U.S. policy infrastructure:
U.S. gives up strategic influence in Asia:
Washington fires its own tech experts:
American officials warn the cuts benefit China:
From Rubio's own staff:

When China cures cancer, Anglos: ‘Chinese doom the world to overpopulation’.
You were talking on the internet to someone very stupid.
Reminds me of a certain neighbour that I had.
All we have to do, is just give this simple short rebuttal.
Art of War by Sun Tzu is good enough for the US Marine Corps, it is like required reading.
Art of War is recommend by 1-2-3-4, US Marine Corps! But it is not good enough for their awesome brains.
Obviously who you interacted with, knew much more, like Universal Gladiator or something like that, or they directly from Star Wars. They know everything since ancient times.
That is how to shut the F up these people.
The State Department officials who cried and whined to WaPo were most likely SFS who lost staff to these layoffs or were close to someone who did. Just about no seasoned bureaucrat, regardless of nationality, is ever happy to see their staff reduced, and usually by extension, their budget slashed.
The Trump administration is likely shooting itself in the foot as usual, but such layoffs also aren't guaranteed to be "a good thing" for countries presumably impacted like China or Burma.
Well this wasn't mentioned by WaPo, certain responsibilities and authorities may be passed onto, if not centralized at other agencies like DoD or CIA (or even under a senior White House staffer like Andy Baker or Robert Gabriel) due to cuts at State, especially once you factor in the .
Unsurprisingly, CIA and DoD officials are reputed to prefer more aggressive and dangerous courses of action than their typical sister agency counterparts, which can be perilous, in particular if amplified by the relative inexperience (e.g. Hegseth is a major who never even held company command prior to confirmation as SecDef), never mind the unpredictability, of the Trump administration.
Though as recent , an overly influential or assertive DoD can also make for a double edged sword, especially when negotiating with anxious foreign partners:
The moderators probably would like to have a platform for all viewpoints.
That is fine.
It is modern China now. Seems to me a lot has changed these last 5 to 10 years.
When the 2008 Beijing Olympics happened, that was generally considered China's coming out party, that China had arrived as a real power.
Today it is different, seems like there was another coming out these last 5 to 10 years, of which I cannot really describe at the moment. But think people would know in a vague sense what I am talking about.
Things never have been better in China for the people, in its entire history.
Give one kind of dumb example, Chinese people probably will not eat dogs anymore. Why? We probably suspect this is true, but do not want to write some sort of thesis on it.
All that means is Grok is not human.
Elon has just built the Frankensteen for our times.
Elon Musk deserves a medal.
We know they will not give him what he deserves. And that's a shame.
Let's just hope he does not get deported.
I may be old fashioned, but the way I learned it from the history books, was that China was conquered, but in the end the Mongols and Manchu were sinicized.
China was the only place on earth in history who was able to conquer their conquerors in that way.
That says a lot, but to not be a chauvinist, that is all ancient history.
As for modern history and those detractors ...
