Aufrüstung: #China baut den ersten #Flugzeugträger nur für Drohnen

Die chinesische Marine (PLAN) ist dabei, ihren dritten Flugzeugträger zu erproben, um ihn dann in Dienst zu stellen. Das Modell 003 war ein Schock für die westliche Marine, da die Chinesen mit einem Schlag von den ersten zwei Trägern mit einem veralteten sowjetischen Design zur neuesten Träger-Generation der US-Navy aufgeschlossen haben.

Seriously, let's say the the US/EU/NATO/ISRAEL/UKRAINE have been provoking to start eventually starts and you are stuck in a country that you feel is in the wrong side of the war-front?

What do you do?

Engage in guerrilla warfare against the people around you who blindly conform to their state? Become vocal and suicidal as a peace activist? Run away to a strange country on the other side of the war front?

Chinese exports to #Russia of nitrocellulose -- a dual-use material that can be used to produce ammunition -- have surged since Russia began its invasion of #Ukraine.

Nitrocellulose is a highly flammable compound that is used in the production of paint, varnish and ink, as well as ammunition.

In 2022, #China exported a little over 700 tons of nitrocellulose to Russia. In 2023, the amount nearly doubled to over 1,300 tons.

After becoming president in 2021, Raisi consolidated power & marginalized reformists who wanted to defuse tensions w/the #West. He repeatedly said he pursued a policy of “strong diplomacy,” forging closer #economic & #security ties w/ #Russia & #China.

Outcome of visit to in terms of economic agreements signed:

  • ✅ Agreement on supplies of Russian topinambour and beef by-products, particularly beef cartilage and stomachs to China
  • ✅ Creation of a new nature reserve “Land of big cats”
  • ✅ Cooperation between TASS and Xinhua news agencies
  • ❌ Construction of Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline was not agreed

To me, these indicate an extremely close and strategic partnership between China and Russia, especially the beef cartilages are going to change the course of the world 😂

If you got upset at me for pointing out that more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump, in large part because Biden rolled back common sense restrictions that were in place under Trump...

Then you'll hate me pointing out that Trump introduced a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs, and Biden is upping that to 100% tariff.

@mekkaokereke There's plenty of criticism (& I've done it) of the US and our terrible history, racial injustices, and anti-#labor laws. But I fail to understand how ignoring genocide in China, or downplaying crimes against #Uyghurs and #Tibetans, helps?

Tesla, btw, is an ideal partner for #China, in many ways (just as Twitter is becoming a venue for Chinese misinformation). #Tesla & Chinese carmakers are the worst when it comes to sourcing & labor
