Becasue statecraft and diplomacy.

There's probably a lot more going on behind the scenes than what's stated publicly. Publicly, she has to say things to appeal to US voters/public that will ultimately help her boss(the Biden administration) win the next election - which means she can't appear weak on China while pushing for concepts that's ingrained in the American psyche - democracy/human rights/freedom/etc.

I'm pretty sure a lot more meaningful business is discussed behind closed doors such as various red lines for each side, US asset holdings, types of sanctions each side is willing to tolerate, de-dollarization timeline, FX and rate policies, etc.

To get a taste of their hypocrisy. Within the rules if we do it, outside the rules if you do it.

Germanium is an IR lens material and a component of SiGe used in military chips. It is 100% dual use.

The IAEA should never be trusted. The IAEA practices double standards with Iran and Israel. No nukes for Iran, but no problem for Israel. The IAEA sent inspectors to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power station and wont mention anything about Ukraine shelling that place. A soldier could determine where the shelling came from. Why can't the IAEA do it with all their specialists? The IAEA has been compromised already, just like the OPCW, and WHO.

Yes. Replace the word "international" for "United States" and all will makes sense.

Supapowa Lithuania is more than welcome to send its carrier battle groups to the SC Sea and TW Strait.

Noting that transatlantic and Indo-Pacific security are deeply interconnected, the strategy mentions "China" 18 times and "Taiwan" 16 times. Both are mentioned more than "Russia," which appears eight times.

Still pissed off that they're unable to force China to dump Russia. Lithuania is a nobody. China (and Russia) should just sever all diplomatic ties to that Chihuahua nation.

These descendants of nazis need to be harshly dealt with. They need to understand in no uncertain terms that China will fight to the last against invaders, and that their homelands will be the least safest place to be for the relatives and families of the invader.

Chinese rhetoric against the Baltics is insufficient. If continued NATO aggression against China's East manifests, China should openly support and offer aid for the reintegration of the Baltics into Russia. Let the Moscowites sort these SS-collaborators out, they have the best historical experience with it.

Not sure if Russia would want those cretins inside their borders. Worse case scenario, use them as test subjects for future weapons development.

Either they are at a heavy loss right now, or they deserved the loss because previous price was overpriced. I am leaning toward latter.

Maybe they'll think real carefully about who they elect as their next President.

It's funny how bleeding-heart, liberal Moon turned out to be far smarter about foreign policy than the Conservative Yoon.

Weibo or Baidu will not likely find success overseas not only because they are hard to registered but also because their platform is text-based and it is hard to compete with English content when English is the most popular language in the internet. Tiktok is successful because everyone can watch sexy girls pole dancing without a single word.
