Check the new Mexico thread.
All that bashing Eileen Gu really backfired now that she got her gold medal on the last day. It's really her that got the last laugh, those salty tears from haters are just couch-sitting losers.
No doubt that like the current VP, many of these losers use the couch for much more than sitting.
An opinion piece on Japan’s psychology and its role on its reaction to China’s rise. A bit repetitive but there is some merit to its core points, which I think also applies to some extent to South Korea.
The key point for me is: The fact China is now a peer competitor to their overlord and master the US is a huge blow to the ego and self-image of these countries that both saw themselves as superior to all the other Asian countries while still acknowledging subservience to the US.

Love the article and as it strikes to the heart of the matter - psychologically it takes the air right out of Japan's balloon.In the old days Japan would be attacking China physically right now-either provoking an "incident" in order to make gains,diminish an opponent or release pent-up stress and gain momentum(now, no how,no way,not ever).Now ,basically it's game over-the longer it becomes the weaker,older more enervated little nippon will become-japan 1500 years ago adopted Chinese culture en masse-now,why the trauma?As China is a peer power now and may even exceed the west soon-the trauma to japan/sk will cut even deeper ,right to the heart.

I think it was Dan Wang who said Europe and Japan are obsessed with the past. The US and China are looking at the future. That’s why you see Europe and Japan falling behind. I would argue the US is also looking at the past to legitimize the present to which is why the US is falling behind China because it expects China to honor and respect its past in order to stay ahead. The West wouldn’t mind if India beat China and yet they expect China to respect their legacy. And of course if they were having a commanding lead over everyone else, they would scoff at everyone and anyone else complaining and call it survival of the fittest.
In Iran, the BBC has verified footage of demonstrators marching on the campus of the Sharif University of Technology in the capital Tehran on Saturday. They were later seen scuffling with government supporters.
Protests were also reported at other universities in Tehran and elsewhere.
Iranian media reported demonstrations also took place on Sunday at the Iran University of Science and Technology and Khajeh Nasir Toosi University in Tehran, and at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in north-eastern Iran.
In one video the BBC has verified, anti-government protesters raise the Lion and Sun flag - a symbol of Iran before the 1979 Islamic Revolution - at the Sharif University. People in the crowd chant "Javid Shah" ("long live the king").
There is question, when foreign armada is present in Persian Gulf and protestors in Tehran universities chant "Javid Shah", who are they funded by?
- CIA
- Mossad
- MI6
- All of the above
We Chinese DO remember the past-especially the Century of Humiliation-and vow never to have it happen again-we remember,learn and honour the past when appropiate but we don't live there.
What? The current President is corrupt? How so?
