Whilst Putin pushes a "Scorched Earth" 'Special Operation' to destroy Ukraine and starve the world of rocket engines, steel, sunflower oil, and cereals... This would be a very big "OUCH!" for the world if China is emboldened to try similar pilfering from Taiwan: China 'must seize TSMC' if the US were to impose sanctions wrote: So says Chinese economist, but it wouldn't achieve much if Taiwan destroyed its fabs first Hopefully cool heads will stay cool... For the good of the world! Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Well Xi's policy changes in recent years hasn't been going down well. As China sabotages its own economic interests in Europe, US should take advantage of the opportunity. He and his crew of cronies certainly don't seem to understand the damage that they are doing to their country now. |

Well it looks like Xi's COVID policies will only keep on adding to supply, shipping and transport problems while also adding its bit to worldwide inflation at the same time. Constant Cycle of Restrictions Is China’s Covid Future. |

Well Xi's recent financial clamp down (on top of his COVID 1's) is really getting to locals upset. Chinese banks to repay some customers after footage of mass protests spreads. Customers of rural Chinese banks whose withdrawals have been frozen will begin to get some money back on Friday, regulators said, after depositors clashed with authorities at a rare protest over the weekend.I wonder what he'll do next to upset them. |

The locals are becoming more restless under Xi's policies and real estate is just another point of contention. China’s real estate crisis heightens as people refuse to pay mortgages. They’re paying for homes that haven’t been built. And nobody wants to live in them anyway. Now Chairman Xi Jinping is racing to silence angry homebuyers ahead of his inauguration as China’s eternal leader. |

https://apnews.com/article/china-asia-beijing-malaysia-a5a6acc391511c99b1b4c2d69e67b133 TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan late Tuesday, becoming the highest-ranking American official in 25 years to visit the self-ruled island claimed by China, which quickly announced that it would conduct military maneuvers in retaliation for her presence. Sounds like China is going to waste oil, bought from Putin, to finance his war on Ukraine. |

What I am afraid of, is that Ms. Pelosi's visit to Taiwan could be an error, and not a thing she should have done. China is almost a superpower today, with a rich and different history other than western cultures. Therefore it also could be unpredictable as a nation, and we do not know what next could be happening. Different areas of interest, and also different blocks for the same, when also different Ideologies. It is Ideologies which creates for war, or the groundwork for it, and here the sometimes mad thinking happening in someone's head. Believe in science for that of stated meaning, and sometimes you could be an atheist for not any believer, but you could still end up moderating. |

Has Xi got over his latest tantrum? China Ends Military Drills Around Taiwan, Vows Regular Patrols. Or is he just taking a breath? |

It seems that Xi now has an issue with another neighbour. South Korea and China clash over US missile shield, hampering efforts to renew bilateral ties. When will his childishness end? |

Is Xi's plans for his country failing? China has unveiled a multibillion-dollar plan to rescue its tanking economy – but experts say it won’t be enough to stop the crisis. China made headlines this week after announcing an ambitious $A63 billion, 19-point plan to bolster its ailing financial system.The ordinary Chinese people are already getting restless and by some reports that is expected to grow. |
