Imagine these clowns assessing the PLA's capabilities based on info from the Falun Gong.
Trump is going to lose so hard in midterms because of these idiots.
I am actually really sad because Trump staying in power helps accelerate the death of the empire
The Sun, UK media, talking about a Chinese drone swarm system tested and featured from China media.
It's because of people like this that Xi Jinping instituted patriotic education.
Important to realize that prior to Xi, Jiang Zemin spent almost two decades as the most powerful Chinese leader either directly or behind the scenes, and Jiang not only tolerated but encouraged Shanghai distinctiveness as a cosmopolitan and global city. So of course, Shanghainese identity would become stronger under Jiang and his powerful Shanghai clique.
Ever since Xi took over, the Shanghai clique has been frozen out of power. Some Shanghainese have responded by becoming even more radical in their "localism," but the tide of history is turning against them as more & more people in Shanghai no longer speak Shanghainese, as the youth receive patriotic education. Because of Shanghai's economic role, it's likely there will always be a sense of Shanghai superiority. But it'll become more like other countries' cities identity than what it was before, and the Chinese government can facilitate that transition by relaxing residency laws.
At least their excuses for withdrawing are more reasonable than Trump's.
Energy analyst indicated Japanese government lied on the oil reserve:
"254 days worth of consumption" claimed by government was calculated based on consumption of 1.8MMbbl per day, but recent 10 years average daily consumption is around 3MMbbl. Also the statistical methodology is deceptive, it counts operating inventory into "strategy reserve".
The expert indicated the real reserve should be as low as 103 days worth of consumption, which is less than half what government is telling the public.

Not surprising at all, not surprising at all.
Japan is a society that likes to cultivate a superficial consensus of stability, and everyone have to upholds (but doesn't truly believe in) this consensus.
I am having so much fun watching the death of Japan in real time. Their economy and society is dying and they don't have the state capacity or will to do anything about it (except being racist to China)
