Doesn't seem to bode well for U.S. posture in the Indo-Pacific, especially bad news for Seoul, if Trump returns to office. Read rest of TIME interview with Trump. https://t.co/rBM3A7EU25

A juicy solar scandal is unfolding in Hubei, as reported by CCTV.

Their investigation reveals a large solar PV + agriculture farm in Anlu City, Hubei was likely built on "Prime Farmland" (基本农田).

This land is supposed to be reserved for food production.

First time I’ve seen this: Chinese state TV pushing out an AI-generated animation showing workers across America striking and rioting as a result of income inequality and democratic crisis.

@NitashaKaul @SCMPNews Thanks for your insight, Nitasha! Domestic measures can have foreign policy implications and definitely don't exist in a vacuum.

My latest #ThoughtoftheDayonChina: While Beijing has very good reasons to keep Hong Kong separate as a capitalist city, it is Hong Kong’s political elite who are, consciously or subconsciously, hastening its mainlandisation. https://t.co/K0Bkf1ReDE

[Hua Chunying 华春莹 @SpokespersonCHN]

[Brian Hart @BrianTHart]
