Preeminent British historian, Arnold J. Toynbee, in 1940's and 1950's, repeated in his works that (paraphrasing) "out of all the civilizations, we (Europeans) cannot dominate the Islamic and Chinese", that these two accepted Western technology and occupation but did not accept the Western ideal and have the mechanisms to resist the West indefinitely, unlike the Aboriginals, Russians, and Indians.
You didnot paid attention to link (tass) i posted earlier where Kadyrov said Russia is the most loyal ally of Islam and Protector. this continuation of Putin statement from 2005 of defending Islam. It is Russia announcement about gaining intelligence so it can devise policies that will protect Islam.
West Asia Christian population has declined and this cannot happen without Soft Power but Soft Power also need intelligence
obviously they are referring to protecting it from European Muslims and countries like Turkey that has been part of Europe since Ottomans. the rest are essentially living off GCC. GCC keep a distance from those colonised muslims. Give them enough funds to keep them afloat until MBS can create New Europe.

see the GCC amb all in one line meeting in Grozny Park before this Iranian negotiations. This extremely important for Putin that GCC has shared vision and dominance and Putin needs this input from Kadyrov because he want to create full blooded society from ground up and for this he is relying on the Islamists and the threat level is such that Kadyrov has to be surrounded by unlimited people in Grozny just to take few pictures and you think any one else can build Islamic civilization when it full of trojan horses and backward.

There is nothing special about Manus in terms of tech. Thats why they were able to fly under the radar until now. The reason the govt is doing this is to set an example that this kind of singapore washing and then sale to US is not allowed.

This is to deter more important startups from doing the same.

Hopefully they will ban singapore washing all together and also force companies like Shein and mihoyo to bring their hq back to china once again.

Data Security Law: If a company handles the data of Chinese citizens, the government heavily incentivizes (and sometimes mandates) that the data and the management responsible for it stay within Chinese borders.


Cross-Border Scrutiny: If a Chinese startup tries to "flip" its headquarters to Singapore or the US to avoid Chinese regulations (a process called "red-chipping"), they now face strict oversight from the CSRC (China Securities Regulatory Commission) and national security reviews.

The Iran War Is Starting to Expose Cracks in China’s Economy​

China’s strategic reserves of oil and natural gas have insulated it somewhat, but its manufacturing-based economy is beginning to falter.

I wouldn’t be surprised in the not too distant future that AI talent are barred from travelling overseas to certain countries. US did something similar with its semiconductor restrictions where any US person can’t work at any Chinese semiconductor company.

AI talent restrictions will be far greater. AI is a game changing technology and a national security issue that countries just won’t allow its own talent, capital, compute, data and companies to fall into the hands of its geopolitical competitors. In the AI field, you already have restrictions on capital, compute and company M&A. Next will be restrictions on talent itself and it will be many critical technology fields (AI, Quantum, semiconductor, rare earths, etc).

Trump may go down as the first US president to sanction, deindustrialize, and demilitarize his own country all at the same time.

He may also be the first leader in history to disarm a superpower by trying to prove it was still one.

Or maybe he finally found a genius way to keep his promise and end America’s forever wars, run out of missiles first?



Trump has a good track record of bankrupting Casinos...

Whatever chinks the Chinese have in their economic armor can’t compare to 70 percent of U.S. farmers not able to afford fertilizers.
