My question is why didn't DW connect it to Germany? I am sure that the title "PLA paratroopers landing on Bundeskanzleramt, Bundestag capturing all German leadership" is more effective to their objective of scaring the population.
The original source is this pic, which is nothing special, w/o any mention of Taiwan, just to introduce some air-drop equippments... My question is, why connect it to Taiwan?
I can only come to the conclusion that, German's Chinese reading is very bad.

Indian reporter asked: Modi was invited to visit China, attending SCO summit. Can you confirm?
PM speaker: China will orgnize SCO summit. There will be more than 20 national leaders and 10 international orgnization leaders attending.
China welcome Modi to attend SCO summit.
So it seems that Indian media try to equate Modi attending SCO summit at the invitation of China to "official visit". An "official visit" by a prime minister is a state-to-state bilateral visit. Attending SCO summit is equal to Modi going to UN summit and means nothing in bilateral relationship.
The answer from China's FM speaker seems to delibrately downplay the possibility of "official visit" by emphasizing the multilateral nature.
A bilateral visit may still happen as one can never say never beforehand, but aparently the Indians are over keen to proposing it's possibility while China is playing it down. I wonder if China is conditioning "official visit" by demanding India to openly say something that Modi would not have said before being slapped by Trump.
This interesting story. how person can display $40b of wealth? buy a Private plane /Yacht. charitable donations. in age of AI. government should have more data where the money should go in society. you dont need to create these stock billionaires and all the management to deal with paper wealth. It is these wealthy people in West that Royals learn things that they will not disclose and i think Putin learned from them how to hide the real wealthy people and scientists from West.
@siegecrossbow the bro did did his "Xi jingping thought" homework....
I find it kind of frustrating that China continues being used as the rebounce girl for BRICS/SCO members, so they can make the US their main girl jealous. All just to extract better deals from Trump.

I think this is a hint of the hardening attitude from China and toughening terms for a deal, because all the power is in China’s hands. China doesn’t need a deal with India, it’s Modi who desperately needs a win.
I think the reason China is hardening it’s position is Modi purposely keeping his trip short to avoid being in China during the 3rd of September victory celebrations.
Essentially Modi is trying his usual trick of trying to have his cake and eat it too by going to China to gain the benefits of a state visit without actually committing to a state visit.
This is China subtly but firmly rebuffing that bullshit.
Modi can come to China for a state visit, but to get the benefits of such a state visit, it needs to be unequivocally a state visit.
If Modi continues to play his stupid games, he is going to find himself getting on the same bus that Von Der Lying ended up on.
Basically China is telling Modi to go big or go home if he wants to pivot to China. China doesn’t need India. Hell, it doesn’t even really want India on its side. Xi and co are only playing the obvious play because Chinese national interests demands it and it would be a dereliction of duty for them to not pursue it. But personally I bet Xi secretly hopes Modi fucks it up so he doesn’t have to endure another tedious photo op time waste with him.
So either Modi ends up standing on the balcony at Tiananmen Square with Xi and Putin on the 3rd of September, or he gets a shuttle bus to and from the SCO meeting with the bare minimum official fanfare from the Chinese side to not cause a diplomatic spat.
I think we have room for some tea servers and cooks in Beijing. Does Modi want to try again at his old business after he loses power?
Armenia will no longer border Iran if this agreement came into effect
This can have increased israeli intelligence and influence right on Iran's north western borders, this time, the israeli intelligence is on the entire border
This can also have an effect on Iran's economy, China’s Belt and Road and Russia’s North-South Transport Corridor once depended on Iran, but the new route diverts trade away from the country, leaving it economically cut off from key Eurasian markets
The Zangezur project is strongly linked to energy transit, enabling Caspian gas from Azerbaijan and Central Asia to reach Europe through Turkey while bypassing both Iran and Russia
The question now, is how will Iran react to this new threat? As for Armenia, such decision to concede lands and give it away only shows its lifetime and capability to sustain itself, as it is now completely between Turkey and Azerbaijan, both countries wants Armenia to completely disappear, let alone the corridor
