The way China built Xinjiang provides a model for remote regions' development to the world.

It is the center of Eurasia and the Belt and Road Initiative now.

[Nury Vittachi @NuryVittachi]

Thank you, Elon. The new "see location" function shines a light on what's really happening in Xinjiang

@WSJ Imperial Japans’s fascist leaders were popular at home in the 1930s and 40s when Japan invaded Asian neighbors and attacked Pearl Harbor. What WSJ wants to prove??? Hitler was also popular in then Germany.

🍂 Autumn has brushed Altay, #Xinjiang in stunning shades of blue, yellow, and green.

At its heart, #Kanas Lake shimmers like a turquoise gem.

No lights, no workers, no problem.

China’s “dark factory” is where smart machines shape the future under human supervision.

Remember the scandal two years ago in the UK on how Parliament had been "infiltrated" by two "Chinese spies" and how this was indicative of the "threat" China posed?

The two men in question have just been cleared of all charges. In fact, the case against them was so weak there wasn't even a trial: "the Crown Prosecution Service had determined the evidence it had gathered did not meet the threshold to go to trial" (https://t.co/yPwhvh54a8).

Yet another fantastic illustration of manufacturing consent: there was insane hysteria in the media over this case at the time, on how this meant "democracy itself was under assault from China," and how the UK had to "wake up" to the "China threat".

All over literally nothing since the case couldn't even clear the threshold for trial. But the damage has been done: it's a fair bet that the immense majority of Britons still believe their Parliament was infiltrated by "Chinese spies". They'll remember the screaming headlines, the grave warnings from politicians, the expert panels discussing the "unprecedented threat." They won't remember this quiet exoneration that came years later, buried in the back pages.

Walmart has the gall to demand Chinese suppliers to take 100% of the tariff cost which will push Chinese suppliers into bankruptcy. Now the CPC is getting involved. The CPC will no longer allow foreign companies to press Chinese companies like this...🧵

President Xi Jinping attended a roundtable with private-sector entrepreneurs.

Highlighting the private sector’s bright prospects and vast potential, President Xi said it is the right time for private enterprises and entrepreneurs to give full play to their potential. He also underscored the importance of promoting the healthy and high-quality development of the private sector.

I'M SHOCKED.

After living in Japan for over two years, I recently visited the USA with my wife. It made me realize that the USA is dysfunctional in so many ways and has such a low-quality standard across the board.

Here are the things I noticed:

[DaiWW @BeijingDai]

Congratulations to the Chinese team for winning two gold medals in weightlifting.

There are 10 gold medals in weightlifting at the Paris Olympics, while there were 14 at the Tokyo Olympics. The important reason for this change is that China is too strong in this event.

Due to the monopoly of gold medals in swimming by white athletes, swimming has always been the main event for Olympic gold medals, with over 30 gold medals for various swimming styles, lengths, medley, and relays. Fortunately, the Chinese swimming team is also coming.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This you?

[Yes, it's me @ElysiusThor]

It is humanly possible to retain your skin colour after a blistering world record swim.

Stay away from stimulants, kids.

[Yes, it's me @ElysiusThor]

The US is now terrified that China will expose the truth. US wants China to agree never to go near the site of the supposed 'footprints' and 'flag' left by the 'first man moon-landing'.

China: We promise never to land our rover anywhere near Stanley Kubrick's studio.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

That's quite funny: China calls on scientists of all nations to study its new lunar samples... but remarks that the US won't be able to because of its own laws banning NASA from cooperating or even communicating with China (the Wolf Amendment).

Too bad 😏

Here’s what really happened in Tiananmen Sq on #June4 by the people who were there—the leader of the students, the diplomats and journalists—and confirmed by Julian Assange’s Wikileaks. Read the facts and decide for yourself. https://t.co/xphquYZHsz

1/ Here is a thread on why recent record sales by the Chinese of US Treasuries might be one of the first signs of a major fiscal crisis in the US. There is a lot of confusion about how this would work so let's go through it step by step.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

France is simply not a serious country anymore. Our new Prime Minister - Gabriel Attal - is 34 years old.

Here's his CV:
- Went to one of the poshest high schools in Paris (École Alsacienne)
- Graduated university (Sciences Po) in Paris in 2012 with a Master of Public Affairs
- Worked a menial job (parliamentary liaison) for five years at the Ministry of Health
- Became an MP in 2017 of a small posh constituency in greater Paris
- Since he is arguably a good public speaker he was made spokesperson of La République En Marche! (Macron's party) in January 2018
- October 2018: appointed Secrétaire d'État (junior minister) to the Minister of National Education and Youth
- 2020: he became the government spokesperson
- May 2022: he became Minister of Public Action and Accounts
- July 2023: appointed Minister of National Education and Youth
- January 2024: Prime Minister

So here we have a guy who graduated university only 12 years ago, only has 6 years work experience at a job with actual "responsibilities" and half that time he was a spokesperson (i.e. a press secretary). He has never worked (or even studied) outside Paris and has obviously remained in the same small cushy bubble all his - very short - life, stepping directly from the benches of his posh school to those of the French government. The most hardship he's suffered in his life is probably when his mummy grounded him for not doing his homework...

Are you telling me this is the profile of a man with the character and life experience necessary to lead a country's government? I mean, COME ON! I know liberal democracy has become such that politicians are supposed to be mere pretty faces just explaining to you that "it's not true that everything is going to shit and we're the best" but even with this standard, this is just a joke. I mean, at least try to make it look real...

I'd actually take any random 50-year old French farmer and would be more reassured with them leading the country (no disrespect meant to farmers, obviously).

Vampires devouring Argentina

The same globalists who brought Zelensky into power in Ukraine are the ones who have installed Milei in Argentina.

Kiev was a total failure, but Buenos Aires looks like a promising victim.😍

With massive privatization, the 1% vampires will have a feast until there’s a socialist revolution.

That’s bound to happen. After all, it’s South America.
