Many liberals are amazed that people believe the obvious lies that the Modi government puts out about China. There's a clear inconsistency between Modi saying that China didn't take any territory and army commanders regularly meeting their Chinese counterparts to negotiate.

They're practically begging the Chinese to leave, and the Chinese are refusing. If that were not the case, there would be no need to talk.
Also, the #Indian #Military position MUST BE WEAK, otherwise we would have kicked out the #Chinese. We simply cannot.

So why isn't the Indian public angry with #Modi?
For the same reason they were not angry with #Nehru in 1962.
#Heroworship.
Indians have a tendency to place their heroes on a pedestal and worship them. As long as they are on that pedestal, they can do no wrong.

Für China waren die Regierungskonsultationen ein 100%-iger Erfolg, weil das Bild von Harmonie erzeugt wurde. Themen wie #Taiwan & die Notwendigkeit der Risikominimierung sprach der Kanzler nicht an. #China verbucht das alles als Zeichen der Schwäche.

Deutschland wurde auf die Position des Bittstellers verwiesen. Die Realität ist: #China wird seine Emissionen senken, wenn das Xi Jinping machtpolitisch vorteilhaft erscheint. Statt freundlich zu bitten, sollten wir also versuchen, die chinesische Interessenlage zu beeinflussen.
Nicht erst seit #Scholz gilt: Wir haben die 🇩🇪 Chinapolitik an das veränderte Selbstverständnis und den veränderten globalen Machtanspruch Chinas nicht angepasst. Insofern gibt es eine ungute Kontinuität von deutscher Seite, wie diese Regierungskonsultationen geführt werden.

Are you ready for a Chinese car?
China has not only become the world’s #1 in auto exports, but it now has trade surplus in that sector.
China will export more cars and parts to the EU than the other way around — for the first time this year.

Why would the Japanese ever care about "liberating" India from #British rule?
The #Japanese were imperialists. They wanted to conquer all of Asia and the Pacific.
They had already annexed #Manchuria in 1931, and everyone knew about their brutal treatment of the #Chinese.

Interesting observation from the war in #Ukraine️:
#Russia may be experiencing substantial supply issues of Kontakt-1 basic explosive reactive armour (ERA).
ERA is a vital component of Russian armour protection and was generally believed to be readily available.

ERA is a vital component of Russian armour protection and was generally believed to be readily available.
Several telegram channels are looking for Russians who can produce the metal containers for Kontakt-1 explosive reactive armour (ERA) or spare some materials for them.
They post the machine drawings and of these containers, and recruiting machine shops who could produce them.

Some quotes from Russian channels:
"the tankers are unable to get any [Kontakt-1]".
Apparently from the Donetsk area: "[we] need 3000 pieces of remote sensing elements [ERA] plus monthly expense in battles is 1000-1200 pieces"

1. Thorium is more abundant in nature than uranium. It is fertile rather than fissile and can only be used as a fuel in conjunction with a fissile material such as recycled plutonium.
Thorium fuels can breed fissile uranium-233 to be used in various kinds of nuclear reactors.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

2. It is possible but quite difficult to design thorium fuels that produce more U-233 in thermal reactors than the fissile material they consume (this is referred to as having a fissile conversion ratio of more than 1.0 and is also called breeding).

As the #Taliban continue to claim moving #TTP fighters to western #Afghanistan, TTP fighters have been confirmed in northern AFG, today the head of district intelligence of the Taliban’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GID) can under attack in #Badakhshah province.
For those unfamiliar with #Badakhshah provincial borders…
Another important factor to keep in mind is the #geological value of #Badakhshah province.
This is of key importance to #China’s investment into minerals in #Afghanistan.

The last time I visited #China, I knew it would be the last time. 5 minutes after sitting down with a #Uyghur friend, she was called by her cadre 'minder' questioning her why she was talking to a foreigner. Like so many, we've never heard from her again.
I made the choice not to return as a researcher because it endangers people. Or you can go back but you must construct your research in a way that the Chinese government approves and ignore people like my friend who has disappeared. And write about #China like it never happened.
That research access is based on approving or refusing to challenge the deadly lies which the government tells. When I worked in #China, it was clear many people maintain that access despite being racist towards Chinese people. This has nothing to do with respect for China.

According to data from China's Ministry of Transport, as of April 30 2023, a total of 309 ride-hailing companies had obtained operating licenses, and a total of 5.41 million ride-hailing driver licenses had been issued across the country.
In contrast, those two figures stood at merely 207 and 2.55 million, respectively, on Oct. 31 2022. That counts as an increase of 49.2 percent and 112.4 percent, respectively, in less than three years.
