I see we are back to censoring people in Australia, for China, at sporting events in our own country. What a joke.

fun fact: @Edinburgh_CC employs 19000 ppl. That is around 1 per 30 residents. This s is double of Krakow or Prague (old cities with significant tourism and, unlike Edinburgh, extensive tram / metro services). now wonder the council tax is high and potholes big...

Germany – specifically, its automotive industry – is Europe’s true Achilles heel when it comes to China policy. buff.ly/4dAcjgj

How strategically stupid appeasement & greedy policy of Germany to China plays out in reality: „One month before the Scholz trip, Berlin denied a request by Taiwan’s Vice President-Elect Hsiao Bi-khim to travel as a private citizen through southern Germany during a visit to Europe. Hsiao, who will not take up her official role until late May, was allowed into Belgium, Czechia, Lithuania, and Poland,“ @noahbarkin reports. - So Taiwan put geo-strategically super-important semiconductor @TWSemicon factory to Germany, defacto saving much of German industry. - German state response: Insulting the incoming deputy leader of Taiwan by not even allowing her to transit through Germany, while Central European countries officially hosted her and did public events with her in our state institutions. Obviously, because the German Chancellor flew to Beijing to kneel to the Chinese dictator. = never trust German government on China related issues, once again Germany betrays another fellow democracy just because it wants more dirty money from a hostile dictator. gmfus.org/news/watching-chin…

Embarrassing for Germany if true: According to @noahbarkin, “Berlin denied a request by Taiwan’s Vice President-Elect @bikhim to travel as a private citizen through southern Germany during a visit to Europe. Hsiao (…) was allowed into Belgium, Czechia, Lithuania, and Poland.”

- When Germany wanted to get the TSMC fab to Dresden, German government send its cabinet level minister to Taipei to beg for it. First time in decades a European cabinet minister visited. - After Germany got it, now it shows middle finger to Taiwanese Vice-President-Elect, not even allowing her to transit by ground transport. She never left the Dresden airport. What a great way of betray hope of Taiwan that Europe will to anything to defend the existence of Taiwan in light of Chinese attack plans. Knowing how political powerful German business is across Europe (through supply chains), this is a major blow for us of us to understand how deep the German China-corruption is and how strategic this is for the future. Yet another reason for Central Europe to break away from German and French stupid China policies. We cannot ask the Americans to die for defending our region (NATO) from Russia if much of European NATO powers feed and oblige wishes of the main enemy (China) of our security provider (US).

For the doubters. This what a Chinese coastguard ship’s high powered water cannon did to a metal railing on a Philippine coastguard ship’s walkway this week, within a few minutes. Frightening to think what it could have done to a human being.
Replying to @niccijsmith
Oooh attacked with a water cannon, scary stuff. Nothing happening in the world newsworthy then?

after being denied to board @KLM flight which was "cancelled" due to "technical issues" (yet, announcements on the day proved otherwise), we were put on 2 different flights with one of us departing 12h later. Dear @KLM if overbooking is your new strategy, ...

...then at least take the responsibility and legal obligation to compensate - rather than outsourcing compensations to some dubious company that does not even know the difference between 'deny to board' and 'delayed'. at least it gives me an example for the next lecture...

Banning Google, Facebook and other services in China is a matter of national security. Banning TikTok in the US is an act of bullying. Am I missing something?

ohhh... so you CANNOT mention Covid-19 AND Wuhan in one sentence. Despite this being a factually factual fact. WTF...

Podgorze district in Krakow was a part of a persecution tactic. the district was surrounded by walls with many checkpoints to control and limit the movement of the population. Life was characterized by overcrowding, starvation, disease, and constant fear of death.

inhabitants were subjected to searches, and their movements were closely watched to prevent the smuggling of food, medicine, or information. Frequent raids were part of the systematic oppression and violence conducted under the guise of suppressing resistance or rebellion.

asking for a friend: how many fishermen use speedboats, especially when they go to others' territorial waters?

Alexei Navalny's message to the Russian people in case he is murdered. Recorded in 2022 before his return to Russia: Never give up. The only reason Russians live in a dictatorship is because individuals do not realize the sheer collective strength of the people.
