Chinkystan's version of ChatGPT

"Let's talk about something else."

That is a frequent response you get from China's newest sensation, Ernie, if you ask it "difficult" questions.

The chatbot, launched by search engine giant Baidu, deflects anything deemed too sensitive.

Entering the date of the Tiananmen Square crackdown (4 June 1989), or the name of a jailed former senior Communist Party figure (Bo Xilai), or the name of China's Nobel Peace Prize laureate who died in prison (Liu Xiaobo) also draw the response: "Let's talk about something else".

Now if I were Apple I'd be moving all my manufacturing away from chinkystan and telling them to fuck off.

Shares in Apple have fallen for a second day in a row after reports that Chinese government workers have been banned from using iPhones.


The firm's stock market valuation has fallen by more than 6%, or almost $200bn (£160bn), in the past two days.


China is the technology giant's third-largest market, accounting for 18% of its total revenue last year.


It is also where most of Apple's products are manufactured by its biggest supplier Foxconn.


The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Wednesday that Beijing had ordered central government agency officials to not bring iPhones into the office or use them for work.


The following day, Bloomberg News reported that the ban may also be imposed on workers at state-owned companies and government-backed agencies.



The instructions not to use iPhones were given to officials by their superiors in recent weeks, sources told the WSJ. Restrictions were also placed on other foreign-branded devices.

China-ASEAN Expo closes with ‘record high’ deals, promoting regional economy on fast track of recovery

"A record number of investment deals were signed during the four-day 20th China-ASEAN Expo held in Nanning, capital of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, organizers announced at the closing ceremony on Tuesday.

The result was fueled by substantial trade complementarity, a long-lasting bond of trust and eagerness for more engagement among companies and officials between the two sides, observers said, noting that the expo is set to inject momentum and confidence into the regional and world economy amid downward pressure.

The expo saw deals signed for 470 projects with a combined investment of 487.3 billion yuan ($66.81 billion), an increase of 18 percent year-on-year. Over 65 percent of that investment came from deals in the manufacturing sector, Wei Zhaohui, secretary-general of the China-ASEAN Expo Secretariat, said at the closing ceremony on Tuesday.

"The number of projects and total investment hit record highs," Wei said.

Trade transactions were "active and impressive," characterized by the presence of numerous large orders and a high volume of green and low-carbon goods, Wei said.

Chinese smart equipment, green appliances, ecofriendly home building materials, and lighting technology products were favored by ASEAN buyers, while organic food, tropical fruit and health products from ASEAN countries were highly sought after by Chinese buyers.

The signing of a purchase order by Brunei for 30 Chinese aircraft worth over $2 billion marked the largest trade deal in the history of the expo.

More than 100 companies introduced new products, including flagship smartphones, drones, underwater data center products and new-energy vehicles.

The 20th China-ASEAN Expo opened on Saturday, with nearly 2,000 enterprises in attendance. Participation was up 18.2 percent from last year's expo. The participation and scale also bounced back to the pre-pandemic level.

The China-ASEAN Expo was proposed during the 7th China-ASEAN "10+1" Leaders' Meeting in 2003 and has been held annually since 2004. As of 2023, it has been organized 20 times.

The history of the China-ASEAN Expo is closely tied to milestones in China-ASEAN economic cooperation, Tang Zhimin, dean of the International School of the Panyapiwat Institute of Management and director of the China-ASEAN Research Center, told the Global Times on the sidelines of the forum on Tuesday.

Tang said the hosting of the China-ASEAN Expo by China has provided ASEAN members with a valuable platform to showcase their goods and services, connect with Chinese consumers and explore partnership opportunities.

Trade cooperation between China and the 10 members of ASEAN - Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam - has developed steadily over the years.

China was the bloc's largest trade partner for 14 consecutive years as of 2022, and both sides have remained each other's top trade partner for three years in a row as of 2022, data from China's General Administration of Customs showed.

China's trade with ASEAN grew by 1.6 percent year-on-year to 4.11 trillion yuan in the first eight months of 2023, accounting for 15.2 percent of the country's total trade.

"Many of our products, mainly food, sold out before the closure of the expo," Tan Sri Dato' Low Kian Chuan, President of The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM), told the Global Times on Tuesday.

"Next year, we hope to be better prepared and bring more companies in other areas, to seize a slice of the 'big cake'," Low said.

Low noted that as the world is facing an economic slowdown, all countries are facing challenges. For example, Malaysia has a small economy and is export-oriented, so if the global economy slows down, it will definitely be affected.

"But we all [ASEAN members] are counting on China," Low said, believing that China can tide over the temporary difficulties through technology advancement and innovation.

Officials and observers said that with the implementation of the RCEP and accelerated negotiations on the Version 3.0 China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, the two are set to go further and deeper.

Compared with the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area's achievements in trade in goods, the significance of the RCEP to China and ASEAN lies in the services industry and investment access. In addition, the RCEP includes issues such as intellectual property, e-commerce, competition and government procurement, Tang said.

China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 negotiations, which started in February, will also focus on cooperation in areas of common concern including the digital economy, green economy, and supply chain connectivity.

The two will complement one another and enrich the connotation and extension of the construction of a China-ASEAN community with a shared future, the expert added."

Bashar al-Assad is set to hold talks with Xi Jinping and take part in a Syrian-Chinese summit in Beijing

News Desk

SEP 19, 2023

"Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will travel to China on 21 September to participate in a Syrian-Chinese summit at the official invitation of his counterpart Xi Jinping.

According to Syrian state media, Assad will lead a high-level political and economic delegation for official meetings in the cities of Beijing and Guangzhou.

Syria's official delegation will include Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad and Finance Minister Samer al-Khalil.

This will mark Assad's first official visit to Beijing since 2004.

Analysts expect several bilateral agreements to be signed during Assad's visit as part of China's larger strategy to cement its position as a power broker in West Asia.

Beijing has already proved instrumental once this year in helping Syria come in from the cold after Chinese officials brokered the historic Iran-Saudi rapprochement that also saw a normalization of ties between Gulf states and Damascus.

In the weeks that followed the Saudi-Iran deal, Syria was also welcomed back into the Arab League, a development which China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin called evidence that “when the shadow of the US shrinks, the light of peace spreads.”

In March, Chinese officials urged the US to end its illegal military occupation of Syria and stop looting its resources, stressing that its continued presence has worsened Syria's humanitarian crisis.

“China has throughout the years defended Syria’s territorial integrity and many times used its veto power at the UN Security Council to prevent interventions in the Arab country’s internal affairs,” Kosai Abido, a Syrian political analyst and author, told Press TV this week.

“Since China is considered a friendly state for Syria and has significant economic power, cooperation agreements with this country should be expanded to include food, pharmaceutical, and technology sectors,” Abido added.

Last year, Chinese and Syrian officials signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) welcoming Damascus into the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a mega-infrastructure project that seeks to bring capital and infrastructure to Global South countries while dramatically strengthening connectivity for commerce, finance, and culture."

Like when Putin embraces Korea Kim, it doesn't make it easier to humanize Xi or Assah, when they express their respective love for one another.

These get togethers aren't helpful

A couple of homicidal dictators having a circle jerk is hardly news.

As for the other shit, as we saw with Thai Durian, the chinkies gobbling up everyone's produce just puts the prices up at home, parasitic arseholes that they are.

MANILA, Philippines — The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday accused Philippines of intruding in Scarborough Shoal “without their permission.”

This is how you say "Fuck off, you chinky parasites" in Tagalog:

The Philippine coastguard said it removed a floating barrier installed by China at the contested Scarborough Shoal, as observers urged Beijing to avoid escalating the dispute.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr and his special task force on the South China Sea ordered that the cordon – at the entrance to the lagoon at Scarborough Shoal – be removed, the coastguard said in a statement on Monday.
“The barrier posed a hazard to navigation, a clear violation of international law. It also hinders the conduct of fishing and livelihood activities of Filipino fisherfolk,” the coastguard said, calling the shoal “an integral part of the Philippine national territory”.

Make no mistake, the Chinese economy is failing.

This leaves XI with only two choices, retire or go down the hardline communist route.

His psyche will only allow the latter option!

Oh dear and it looks like another one of their attempted monopolies is crumbling.

The Mexican government has reportedly canceled nine mining concessions held by Chinese company Ganfeng Lithium at the largest lithium reserve in the country.
In a document sent to investors, Ganfeng – which is one of the world’s largest lithium enterprises – said that Mexico’s General Directorate of Mines (DGM) told them in August that the company had failed to meet minimum investment requirements between 2017 and 2021.

"The Mexican government has reportedly canceled nine mining concessions held by Chinese company Ganfeng Lithium at the largest lithium reserve in the country.

In a document sent to investors, Ganfeng – which is one of the world’s largest lithium enterprises – said that Mexico’s General Directorate of Mines (DGM) told them in August that the company had failed to meet minimum investment requirements between 2017 and 2021.

Ganfeng insists their Mexican subsidiaries have presented “ample evidence of their compliance with the minimum investment obligations,” and had in fact “significantly” exceeded them.

The company also claimed the Mexican government “did not raise any objections” about investment levels before informing them that the process to cancel the concessions was already underway.

Mexico nationalized lithium in April 2022, declaring it a strategic resource whose exploration, production and commercialization was exclusive to the state. The resulting amendments to the Mining Law meant no new lithium concessions would be granted to private companies, other than as minority partners in joint ventures with new state-owned company Lithium for Mexico (LitioMx), although existing contracts would be honored if they met investment requirements and were nearing the production stage.

“The Mining Law reform was not supposed to apply to pre-existing concessions,” Ganfeng protested. “The company’s position is that the project’s concessions cannot be impacted by these reforms.”

The company said that it had filed administrative appeals with the Economy Ministry (SE), maintaining that the cancellations are “arbitrary and unfounded.” It also insisted that the decision should not be considered final until the review is concluded.

Neither the DGM nor the SE has made a public statement on the issue."

Sept 28 (Reuters) - Germany last week became the latest European country to propose restrictions or bans on the use of equipment made by China's Huawei (HWT.UL) and ZTE (000063.SZ), citing security concerns.
The European Union's industry chief Thierry Breton in June urged more EU countries to join the efforts to curb or block Huawei and ZTE equipment from the bloc's 5G telecoms networks.
