I agree. Each city has its own charm with different cultural sites to see. Buildings and streets are clean and in good repair. Also, people are polite, hard-working, and respectful. I feel safe, so enjoy going to China.
The United States on Monday described the Philippines as a “model #ally” as #Washington reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening its military presence in the Indo-Pacific while calling on allies to take greater responsibility for their own defense.

Yesterday was the biggest use of Uyghur US law so far as the US went beyond cotton and added 43 (!!!) more Chinese companies to its Xinjiang blacklist
Obviously it isnt just about cotton anymore as it covers food, medicine, lithium, aluminium, electronics and capacitors. Things Xinjiang has been developing and producing a lot of recently
Now you wonder if this is more about an excuse to stop China developing rather than human rights.. next it could be AI or chips!
Also the irony is under this law, goods linked to Xinjiang are basically treated as guilty until proven innocent and the importer has to provide “clear and convincing evidence” that forced labour was not involved… like think about how strange that is, how do you even do that, essentially everything from Xinjiang will be rejected😂crazy
Exclusive: China has begun mass producing domestically developed immersion deep-ultraviolet lithography machines, a technology crucial to advanced chipmaking, marking a key step forward in Beijing's drive to reduce its reliance on foreign technologies https://t.co/jFIWhQvLXE
“Cagayan is both geographically and economically primed to serve as our gateway to space and host the country's first spaceport,' President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declared in his fifth State of the Nation Address.
Full story in the comments.
The New York Times reports that the #Pentagon withheld information about three Iranian strikes on U.S. forces in Jordan that injured dozens of troops and damaged several helicopters.
Meanwhile, experts say the actual cost of war extends far beyond the reported $37.5 billion figure, with indirect costs -- such as rising fuel prices -- pushing the overall burden significantly higher.
So Israeli settlers attack a Palestinian village, throw gasoline through a window onto a baby, nearly burning the young child alive, and beat a pregnant woman with stones.
Zero Western media coverage.
The complicity runs so deep...
LOOK: The Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) President Victor Lim released a statement on the AI-Generated Video Released by China Daily:
The Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) expresses its profound disappointment over the AI-generated video released by China Daily portraying the Philippines through a derogatory caricature.
We respectfully urge that this video be taken down and removed. No matter how sincere or deeply held the differences between governments on maritime or territorial issues, there can be no justification for depictions that demean the dignity of an entire nation.
Honest disagreements should never descend into ridicule or ad hominem attacks. The Philippines and China have been friends, neighbors, and trading partners for more than a thousand years.
Our bilateral relationship is far broader and far more enduring than any single political or territorial disagreement. Such issues are best addressed through diplomacy, mutual respect, and constructive dialogue—not through imagery that risks inflaming public sentiment or undermining goodwill between our peoples.
FFCCCII remains steadfast in promoting friendship, peace, business and investments, trade, cultural understanding, and mutually beneficial cooperation between the Philippines and China.
Let us not allow temporary disagreements to overshadow centuries of shared history and partnership. Instead, let us choose wisdom over anger, respect over contempt, dialogue over division, and work together toward a more peaceful and prosperous future for both nations. | 📷: FFCCCII via @dMorcosoINQ
What a load of bollocks. I was in Lhassa just a few weeks bsck. There’s no erasure of religion or language. Temples are full with Tibetans practicing their faith in open. Tibetans use their language all over the place. This exactly why I don’t believe much of what is said about China by western media.
Some idiot Tibetan just set himself on fire outside the UN. His dumb Tibet group even made a poster to advertise the event like the premier of a new movie. They prove China is correct in cracking down on RELIGIOUS LUNATICS. 😵💫😵💫 I'll post a link below to the uncensored video. https://t.co/smYsdlYUQa
During my recent travels in China, I spent time speaking with Uyghurs, as well as with Tibetans in Xizang (Tibet).
In Lhassa I spoke with several people — a guide, a driver, a pilgrim outside the Jokhang, a Uyghur student — about daily life. None described systematic discrimination in either Xizang or Xinjiang. The temples were full of worshippers, so religious practice is certainly not discouraged.
Several volunteered, unprompted, an inventory of change: schools, electricity, roads cut from a day’s journey to a couple of hours, and — from my driver — early retirement benefits for Tibetan government employees. Personal observations are not definitive evidence, but they should at least give us pause before accepting simplistic accounts from any side.
All countries deserve scrutiny, however before Western media outlets is accepted about countries that the West is competing with, people ought try to experience first hand where possible, and where not, try to form their views based on less motivated narratives/sources.
The US ended Germany access to cheap energy by destroying Nord Stream and then provided economic incentives for the struggling German industries to relocate to the US. However, our "journalists" can inform us the problem is a "full-blown assault" by China.
