Jeez, it's funny you just take any leftist screed, replace the word neoliberalism with globalism and it's suddenly a rightist screed.

In terms of real actions promoting peaceful development, upholding fairness and justice, and maintaining international peace and security, Tokyo does a much better job than Beijing. The only thing it lags behind is not making as much boisterous claims as Beijing always does. 🤷🏽‍♂️
With such egregious behavior from Sanae Takaichi, how can the international community trust Japan’s professed commitment to peaceful development? How can we trust Japan to uphold fairness and justice? How can we trust Japan to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining international peace and security?

This is why I hate the CCP. The CCP routinely punishes dissidents by targeting their families. Wang Quanzhang’s 11-year-old son is barred from school — not for anything he did, but because his father is a human rights lawyer. This is systemic. This is how dirty the CCP is.

Imagine being so desperate you hire a PR firm in Makati to fake Filipino support. 😂 China can build warships but needs trolls to build respect — and even then, they fail. No peso-paid lie can cover up the truth: the Philippines sees through you.

The Trump administration just grabbed random guys and sent them to prisons in a third world country
NEW: A @TIME photojournalist was on hand in El Salvador as prison guards beat a man who is likely to be Andry, a gay Venezuelan barber/makeup artist who was seemingly falsely accused of being a gang member and renditioned by the Trump administration with literally NO due process.

This is what ardent NYT _conservative_ Bret Stephens is saying. Anyone with any sense knows that today was an absolute disaster and disgrace for the United States.

いやいやいや 旅行者のマナーとかそういう話じゃなくて 「日本はもうすぐ中国の一部になるのに、偉そうにしたいたら消されるよ」 注目するべきなのはこの言葉と、この言葉がでてくる背景でしょ 旅行で訪れた国への配慮とか、そんな生ぬるい話じゃなくて

トランプが「ウクライナは大統領選挙やれ」と言ってる件。仮にやることになったとして、予測しておくと 「ロシアが【選挙は不正だ!】と騒ぎ、すっかり親ロシア系フェイク情報エコーチェンバー内に取り込まれているトランプが同調する」です。

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back the Putin invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children. TRUMP IS MAD OR OWNED.
Donald Trump: “Russia fought for that land in Ukraine and lost a lot of soldiers doing it, so Russia should keep it.” @JayinKyiv.

Our community includes many Chinese people who have lived under authoritarian rule but haven’t lost their sense of self. From what we’ve observed, this recent incident involves a large-scale effort by Chinese propaganda teams working in unison. We face these attacks almost daily, and the way these attackers coordinate is striking. The Chinese Communist Party’s methods, their lack of ethical boundaries, and their desire to dismantle the free world are beyond what the average American could imagine.

Thread: testing Tiktok's video review process I uploaded the same video with different texts, and monitored it through Tiktok's API. Some videos go through a review process before it's publicly visible (b4 that only visible to uploader). Some keywords seem to trigger that...

小山航平君の父が書いた手紙を読むと涙が止まりません。共産党はこの手紙をネット上から揉み消し、無かった事にしようとしています。何故、隣人愛と日中友好関係を訴える手紙を検閲されるのでしょう。問題は中国では無く、共産党です。
深圳日本人学校被害小学生家长小山纯平致友人的一封私信。 力石先生、古家先生 感谢您昨日一直陪伴到很晚。 关于领事馆和公司的评论,您可以自行决定。但我还是希望您能了解我的心情,因此写下了这封信。或许更多是为了整理我的情绪,可能有些地方写得不够好,还请见谅。是否转发、以及转发给谁,都请您自由决定。 航平非常喜欢昆虫和爬行动物,是个拥有独特眼力,能发现任何小生物的孩子。他拥有比任何人都更为温柔的心灵。从小就喜欢画画,是一个对语言很有天赋的孩子,能够流利地使用日语和中文。 他一直对随我前往深圳的安排感到犹豫不决。由于偏食,他一开始很难适应当地的饮食,但最近,他喜欢上了越来越多的中国食物,并且迷上了刚刚开始的篮球运动。 他如此突然地离开了我们,我完全没有料到。现在,我的内心充满了困惑和无尽的悲痛。我再也无法看到他如何成长,如何成为大人。无法保护他,这将成为我一生都无法释怀的悔恨。 航平既是日本人,也是中国人。他的母亲是中国人,曾在日本生活了近十年;他的父亲是一个已经在中国度过了将近一半人生的日本人。航平本人三岁前的大部分时间都是在中国妻子的家中度过的。无论外界如何报道,他拥有日本和中国两国根源的事实不会改变。 我们不会憎恨中国,同样,我们也不会憎恨日本。无论国籍为何,我们都将这两个国家视为自己的国家。尽管风俗和文化存在差异,但我们比谁都清楚,大家都是一样的人。因此,我不希望由极少数持扭曲思想的卑劣之人的罪行,来破坏两国的关系。我唯一的愿望就是,这样的悲剧不再重演。 航平曾经有一次对我说:“将来想成为像爸爸一样的人。”或许这只是一时的心血来潮,但作为父亲,这句话让我无比欣慰。我从事中日贸易的工作,担任着日本和中国之间的桥梁。我的主要职责是弥合双方的认知差异,促进顺畅的沟通。如果没有发生这次不幸的事件,我相信他一定会成为比我更有用的人。但现在,我只能尽全力成为一个他可以为之自豪的人,并且,继续为日中两国的相互理解作出微小的贡献,这既是对我最爱的儿子的赎罪,也是对犯人的报复。 最重要的是,我想对航平表示感激,感谢他让我们成为父母,感谢他在我们身边度过了10年 8个月又7天的时光。我们将会继续坚强地生活下去,为他,继续走完他未完成的路。 小山纯平

"Hate Japan" indoctrination continues in CCP China. This is several kids beating up a fake model dressed as a Japanese soldier in Xiangtan, Hunan Province. My question is: Why would they set up such a "Japanese soldier" there?

A leaked full copy of the confidential audit of Volkswagen's Xinjiang factory shows that key statements made by @VW about the audit were false or misleading. The audit suffers from severe methodological shortcomings & failed to protect interviewed Uyghur staff. Full report:🧵
