It looks like Chinese troops have again infringed on India's border. India Confirms First Border Clash With China Since 2020. Isn't anyone happy with what they have? |

That's a very good excuse for some 'distraction' from 'problems at home'... India just happens to be a game neighbour to make some distracting news. Taiwan comes next? All a game of politics?...

As China Sues U.S. for Choking Off Semiconductor Industry (arn't their knock off jobs good enough?) the U.S., UK export controls hit China's access to Arm's chip designs so they're tuning to South Korea as US Chips Campaign Gains Steam though I doubt that they'll do any better there and yet they won't sell their Loongson processors to Russia. Meanwhile China Defends 'Secret Police Stations' Found Around the World, but it's falling a deaf ears as that's what embassies are for anyway. |

They're at it again. Philippines concerned over Chinese vessels 'swarming' in disputed waters. While they withdraw six of its diplomats in UK after incident at Manchester Consulate to keep them from being punished. As Taiwan reports record incursion by Chinese bomber aircraft. And the U.S. Offers Full Backing to India After China Border Clash. |

Everyone is pulling out their nukes now. :-( India parades a ballistic missile dubbed the 'China killer' just days after the two countries clash at a contested border. What's going on? |

Well it looks like Xi will have enough problems on his hands that he may have to forget about Taiwan. China’s new move could kill 2.1 million in Covid catastrophe. And India sends more troops to the border. After two years of a jittery peace, one country has deployed 50,000 troops, convinced that war is all but inevitable. It looks like he'll have his hands full. |

Unfortunately, as is with Pootin, Xi's troubles at home are precisely why he wants the distraction of Special Military Activity to distract away from home... The question merely becomes 'wherever' is the softer and loudest target... All in our deadly despotic political world...

'“The biggest problem that China has is that their ICU capacity is quite low – it’s around three per million,” he said."' I would say that if China is still using Sinovac aka CoronaVac, then this is a similar or larger issue. The accepted efficacy is 50-60% over numerous studies, vs. 90%+ for Pfizer and Moderna. Citations available on request. :^) |

Is Xi really looking for a multi fronted war? He already has India building up troops along that border as Taiwan scrambles jets to warn away Chinese air force incursion, yet again (which causes friction with the west), and now the Philippines orders strengthened military presence after 'Chinese activities' near islands while Japan is boosting its readiness for war All that on top of his problems at home with the populous and COVID both running riot. |

Can't trust the Chicons in outer space... ‘We better watch out’: NASA boss sounds alarm on Chinese moon ambitions “It is a fact: we’re in a space race,” the former Florida senator and astronaut said in an interview. “And it is true that we better watch out that they don’t get to a place on the moon under the guise of scientific research. And it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they say, ‘Keep out, we’re here, this is our territory.’” |

Expect more massive shipping traffic jams to happen at Chinese ports (among other things). The global economy is about to take a nosedive in 2023 and the escalating situation in China is to blame, experts have warned. |

China keeps up with its hypocritical whinging rhetoric while it still won't come clean. China accuses 'some Western media' of COVID-19 coverage bias. ....The government has also lashed out at countries that require travelers coming from China to show a negative virus test, calling the demand “discriminatory" even though it requires the same of anyone entering China.... |

Commercial satellites have again caught China out in a move that that’s causing concern about its plans in the South China Sea. Commercial satellites have again caught China out: this time capturing photos of hidden anti-aircraft missiles installed on its “non-militarised” South China Sea islands. |
