It is not a typical MSM in the west, but I am not sure. I am a paid subscriber. The fact that it values people like Pepe Escobar and David Goldman and M.K. Bhadrakumar as important contributors tells me that it is not a western MSM.
The idea that The US has any right to complain about any violation to their sovereignty is so ludicrous that individuals who advance this argument certainly suffers from brain damage. A country that consistently invade other on causes proven to be false again and again, who unilaterally enforces no-fly zone upon other has absolutely no right to complain about ANY violation of airspace.
Thanks
if they were attempting to jam the balloon, then they would have been revealing jamming signals to the literal dozens of Chinese ELINT satellites flying overhead. Even ground based tight microwave relays aimed at other points on the ground can be eavesdropped upon by ELINT satellites low on the horizon.
Well, in relative terms, ASEAN is well on its way to become the 4th economic pillar in the world, after US, EU and China. ASEAN has been talking about forming a common economic block like EU for years. In the process, countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia can develop similar to China circa 2001. In political openness, some of the ASEAN countries are ahead of China. There will be scandals in the process. But looking forward as a whole, ASEAN is the most promising economic block in the world for the foreseeable future. ASEAN has all the pieces to be an economic superpower, having way better prospects than India or Brazil or Africa.
