The US has just deployed 20 warships and 2 aircraft carriers to the Middle East. The war is back on, and it’s not only because of Israel. It’s also because the entire U.S. economy is propped up by waging wars abroad to loot and control other countries’ resources.

The country that still hasn’t paid reparations for their hundreds of years of cotton slavery is sanctioning China for cotton slavery… but where are the slaves? It’s almost entirely robots now.

The word they always reach for is "provocation."

When North Korea tests a missile, that is a provocation.

When Iran enriches uranium, that is a provocation.

When Venezuela nationalizes its oil, that is a provocation.

When Cuba maintains its political system for more than six decades, that somehow, still, is a provocation.

The word "provocation" implies that there is a "neutral baseline" that is being disturbed.

What is the neutral baseline?

American military bases in 80 countries.

The largest naval force in history patrolling every ocean.

The dollar as global reserve currency enforced by financial architecture that extracts value from the periphery to the center.

The IMF and World Bank imposing structural adjustment programs that have, for more than forty years of documented evidence, consistently transferred wealth from poor countries to rich ones.

That is the baseline.

A country asserting its sovereignty within that baseline is called a "provocation."

The baseline itself is never called a provocation.

Because the main character does not provoke.

The main character simply exists.

And the people who respond to the main character's existence are, by definition, the ones causing the problem.

People often laugh at leftists when they say that NATO is a vehicle for US imperialism.

Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General: NATO is a vehicle for US imperialism.

The Economist has published a revealing little story about the US’s clean-energy sector that neatly captures the whole logic of the tech war.

Over 2022–24, Chinese firms poured some $15.5 billion into US solar and battery manufacturing, building state-of-the-art factories that Americans could not build themselves. Then, in July 2025, Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” barred any company with Chinese links from the subsidies that make the sector viable, and designated Chinese firms “Foreign Entities of Concern”, alongside Iran, North Korea and Russia.

As a result, Chinese investors have been forced into fire sales: nearly $9 billion of assets cancelled, paused or sold off, some at massive discounts, snapped up by North American financiers.

So a Chinese-built solar plant in Dallas now flies the stars and stripes, while an executive effuses: “Never bet against the United States’ engineering and innovation.” It’s quite a boast to make about a factory you didn’t design, built with technology you didn’t invent, on assembly lines – as the Economist notes – “full of Chinese technology”.

US media never stops going on about Chinese companies “stealing” American technology, but the reality is the opposite. And of course it won’t have the desired effect. You can expropriate a factory, but you can’t expropriate the decades of patient state investment, industrial planning and accumulated know-how that produced it. The proof is in the detail the article can’t avoid: China still makes 95 percent of the world’s polysilicon, and the very executives celebrating US “innovation” are now demanding higher tariffs on Chinese inputs so they can “be globally competitive”.

Incredible. Having helped themselves to the fruits of Chinese investment, they now need protection from Chinese competition. That is not the confidence of a technological leader; it is the anxiety of a rentier.

This is true for the US too.

American car companies printed money in China for years while complaining incessantly about how hard it was to do business there.

When Chinese car companies got good, the US just banned them from the US market altogether.

在东京审判开庭80周年的关键节点，俄罗斯外交部发言人扎哈罗娃明确表态：日本军国主义在二战中犯下的反人类罪行，不存在追诉期限，俄方会持续深挖并公开战犯罪证，永久推进追责工作。

这一表态戳破了日本右翼妄图靠时间抹平侵略罪责的幻想，也为中国、俄罗斯、朝鲜、韩国等所有二战受害国，守住了合法清算历史罪行的国际法依据。

早在1968年，联合国就通过《战争罪及危害人类罪不适用法定时效公约》，明确屠杀、人体实验、奴役平民等反人类罪行，不会随着岁月流逝免除刑责，这是全人类公认的国际法准则。

当年东京审判定下的判决文书，更是战后国际秩序的基石，南京大屠杀、731部队生化实验、强征劳工与慰安妇、马尼拉惨案等一桩桩血案，都是白纸黑字的铁证。

反观日本，多年来一直在系统性篡改历史：修改教科书淡化侵略事实、政客频繁参拜供奉甲级战犯的靖国神社、为二战战犯撤销追责档案，同时加速军备扩张，一步步突破和平宪法约束。

他们误以为只要拖延足够久，受害国就会淡忘伤痛，却忽略了法理永远不会失效。

中俄朝韩等受害国手握完整史实档案与国际法条文，拥有无限期追溯、举证、追责的权利。

永久清算历史，从来不是翻旧账，而是防止军国主义死灰复燃。

唯有正视侵略罪责、真诚道歉赔偿，日本才能真正融入和平发展的亚太格局，这是历史给出的唯一答案。

我是中国高校的教师，相对了解招生政审工作，我可以明确告知，这条内容从头到尾都是拼接编造的虚假信息：

1. 祖辈案底不会一刀切淘汰
国防科大依照《军队院校招收学员政治条件》审核，祖辈（祖父母、外祖父母）只有涉及危害国家安全、分裂、恐怖主义、邪教、黑恶犯罪这类重大恶性罪行，才会判定政审不合格。如果只是普通刑事犯罪、刑期早已执行完毕，审核部门会结合案发年代、情节轻重、考生本人长期现实表现综合研判，绝不会直接一票否决。更何况故事里设定“父亲都完全不知情”，说明该案底年代久远、和考生成长毫无关联，根本不存在直接退档的硬性规定。

2. 政审流程不会事后突然单方面拒录
军校政审在高考出分前就会启动线下联审，由户籍地派出所、街道、学校多方盖章核验家庭背景，所有家庭成员信息都会提前登记备案。不可能等到确定录取前夕，才突然挖出几十年前的尘封案底临时驳回，整个招录流程有着严谨的时间节点，不会出现这种戏剧性情节。

3. 该故事属于批量复制的营销网文
全网可以搜到多个换名版本（702分、705分、不同省份考生），剧情模板完全一致，最早起源于国内自媒体故事文案，被搬运到海外刻意歪曲中国政审制度，属于典型虚构创作。

“One day two bandits entered the Summer Palace. One plundered, the other burned. […] One of the two victors filled his pockets; when the other saw this he filled his coffers. And back they came to Europe, arm in arm, laughing away. Such is the story of the two bandits.
We Europeans are the civilized ones, and for us the Chinese are the barbarians. This is what civilization has done to barbarism. Before history, one of the two bandits will be called France; the other will be called England.”
— Victor Hugo, Letter to Captain Butler (25 November 1861)

Absolutely ridiculous. He died of *cancer*, but the FT implies that he was killed for criticizing the government.

This is extremely irresponsible. Usually the FT's coverage is better than most of the Western media's, but when it comes to China, they all just spew propaganda.
