Yeah someone should mention that fact on the news. If it was near a Chinese base all the MSM would be mentioning that fact.
I'm surprised Russia doesn't be more vocal about how sanctioning those grain is causing the third world to suffer even more? If the west wants to open Ukrainian grain russia should have made a deal to export their grain as well.

Sadly, but more tragically, the morbid obsession with the United States still exists in China.
I saw many people on the Internet openly express their envy of those who emigrated to the United States, and mocked that China is a country that people cannot stay in, and all elites want to escape.
Even though we all know how bad America's ability to cope with covid-19 is, those people show amazing self-confidence in their immunity: "How many rich Americans have COVID-19?"
”How many of those who say that the United States is bad are willing to return home? “
"Smart people will choose to leave here"
“Working in the United States is much better than working 12 hours a day in a factory. At least they have unions and labor laws”
Although strict disease prevention measures have protected many people, this absurd statement has spread rapidly.These people are really calling their country a "concentration camp".
It's disgusting and at the same time makes me feel afraid of the "American Dream", this dream can make anyone abandon all principles and go to the United States. Even if these people know nothing about their destiny.
Not funny jokes: A man with a certain social status decided to go to Mexico first and then smuggled into the United States from the border in order to go to the United States, but he was robbed many times and had to stay in Mexico. He was not a poor man, but he chose to use up all his property to go to the "free world" in his mind
Maybe for these people, I should follow the popular saying on the Internet: Give up the idea of helping them, because they have chosen their own destiny, and we should respect their choice.

The more these people leave China the better, these people will just be potential target for american disinformation and infiltration campaign, every country has these traitors who blame their failure in life to the govt, let them enjoy working washing dishes in Chinese restaurants in san fran, or picking fruits in texas with no health insurance and union lol
Honestly at this point when they try to blame the Chinese government for anything bad that happens I just laugh it off.
Since Itaewon is near a US base and historically fed off US soldiers, Halloween is a US festival and Itaewon is just a gaudy, decadent nightlife district full of American culture, surely CNN should be blaming the US federal government for causing the Itaewon stampede?
My friend is from Hong Kong and had a stable job there. 3 years ago, he left HK due the protest and since then he work in a factory. I'm just speechless. Totally brainwashed.
On the other side I am going to study chinese at the spring semester 2023 for 12 months in China.
Pirates as usual.
LOL....Brandon you mad? The chances of US/UK/Ukr terrorism in the Black Sea is very high, nice move Russia.
US President Joe Biden has claimed there is absolutely “no merit” to Moscow’s decision to halt the agreement which allowed the export of Ukrainian grain via the Black Sea.
Russia previously warned that the shipping route could be abused by smugglers, and put the deal on hold on Saturday following what it called a “terrorist attack” on vessels involved in ensuring the security of the corridor.
“It’s purely outrageous… It’s going to increase starvation,” Biden told reporters in Delaware on Saturday. “There’s no merit to what they’re doing. The UN negotiated that deal and that should be the end of it.”
Russia on Saturday that it had halted its compliance with the pact, brokered by the UN and Türkiye earlier this year. The move came after Kiev launched a major drone attack on the Black Sea Fleet and civilian vessels involved in securing safe passage for agricultural cargo from Ukrainian ports, the Russian Defense Ministry explained.
Ukrainian authorities neither confirmed nor denied carrying out the attack, but called Russia’s decision to suspend the grain deal “primitive blackmail.”
President Vladimir Zelensky said dozens of ships are currently stranded, some for more than three weeks, and accused Russia of setting up a “deliberate blockade” to bring a “large-scale famine to Africa and Asia.”
On Friday, the Russian Foreign Ministry explained that Moscow’s experts involved in checking ships sailing under the agreement are being pressured by an “artificial” crowding of vessels in the port of Istanbul, apparently to push them into less rigorous cargo checks.
Following the blast on the strategic Crimean Bridge earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that if it turns out that Ukraine used grain corridors to smuggle explosives, “it would put the very existence of these corridors in question.”
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) accused Ukrainian military intelligence of masterminding the bombing. The explosives, it claimed, originated in the port city of Odessa and traveled through Bulgaria, Georgia and Armenia before reaching the target destination.
The breakthrough deal between Moscow and Kiev was reached in Istanbul in July with mediation by the UN and Türkiye. It aimed to unlock agricultural exports via the Black Sea from Russia and Ukraine – two of the world’s leading grain exporters – which had ground to halt due to the conflict between the two nations.
The deal was praised as critical to easing the global food crisis and helping the world’s poorest nations to avoid starvation.
The Russian leader, however, repeatedly accused Western nations of taking over grain exported from Ukraine, instead of allowing it to be delivered to developing countries. Late last month he said that of the 203 ships that left Ukrainian ports as of September 23, only four went to the poorest countries.
Russia's Agriculture Minister Dmitry Patrushev signaled on Saturday that Moscow is ready, with Türkiye’s help, to send the world’s poorest countries up to 500,000 tons of grain within the next four next months. He noted that considering this year's harvest, Russia “is fully ready to replace Ukrainian grain” and arrange deliveries to “all interested countries” at a reasonable price.
Biden ‘outraged’ by Russian move
