Logic.

The Chinese spokeswoman said that OFCOM did in fact regulate the BBC, (3:18). It is not allowed to speculate, due to its Royal Charter, and may be punished if they do.

True or false?

The Chinese spokeswoman said that OFCOM does not in fact regulated by BBC World Service, (3:33). It is not regulated/included in the Royal Charter. 3:40. Hence, it can publish anything from any source, because unlike the BBC/Royal Charter, it has legal immunity in the UK.

True or false?

The Chinese spokeswoman then requested the BBC reporter to send her more details, if in fact OFCOM regulates the BBC World Service. Which would improve the BBC's reputation.

True or false?

If you have any details that reject the Chinese Spokeswoman allegations, posting them here on TD, will clarify our group knowledge.

Otherwise, some may accept the Chinese spokeswomen explanation as true.

The Chinese citizen would not dare to criticize the national broadcaster for fear of reprisals.

In a democracy, such criticism is encouraged, and then ignored. (BBC Radio 4 this morning)

You can read and speak Chinese? Or are you examples provided by foreign "free" media?

However, you must have missed the growing "opportunities" the "watchers" have, for deleting, moving or banning some "unacceptable" opinions/citizens from many "free countries" media.

It may or may not clarify your reasoning.

Christ he's still dribbling on.

Hoohoo, it's quite simple:

The BBC is allowed to criticise the government, it is not under government control.

The chinkies are not allowed to criticise Mr. Shithole, as he controls them all.

I hope that's simple enough even for a dumb shit like you.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s Regular Press Conference on April 12, 2022

"Associated Press of Pakistan:

On April 11, Shahbaz Sharif was elected as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan. How do you view the future relations between Pakistan and China under his leadership?

Zhao Lijian:

We congratulate Mr. Shahbaz Sharif on his election as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic cooperative partners with rock-solid and unbreakable relations. China looks forward to working together with the Pakistani side to carry on the traditional friendship, deepen cooperation in various areas and build a high-quality China-Pakistan Economic Corridor together to forge an even closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future in the new era.

Bloomberg:

Sri Lanka has warned creditors of a possible default and suspended payments on some foreign debt, which is an extraordinary step taken to preserve its dwindling dollar stockpile for food and fuel imports. Sri Lanka is looking to borrow $1 billion from China so that it can repay existing Chinese loans due in July. Does the ministry have a comment on the current situation?

Zhao Lijian:

To answer your question, China and Sri Lanka have always enjoyed mutual understanding and mutual support since diplomatic relations were established. China has been helping Sri Lanka with its socioeconomic development to the best of our capability and will continue to do so in the future.

Chinky loan sharks offering more debt to pay off existing debts. Then they can snag themselves another port or airport.

They really are the predatory payday loan operator of the world.

The Shenzhou-13 crew have safely returned to Earth after their epic six-month orbital trip, which nearly doubled the previous record of China's longest single-flight space mission of 92 days set by the Shenzhou-12, some eight hours after the manned spacecraft's detachment from the Tianhe core module.

The Shenzhou-13 return capsule conduced successful touchdown at 9:56 am Saturday in the Dongfeng landing site in Gobi Desert, North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Medical team confirmed that the crew of three taikonauts are in good health, marking the full success of the Shenzhou-13 manned spaceflight mission, Global Times learned from the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) on Saturday.

The ground controlling team ordered the return by 9:06 am, and the return capsule separated with the Shenzhou-13 with success. After that, at 9:30 am, the return capsule detached from the propelling part, according to the CMSA.

Ground rescue and recovery team arrived at the landing point immediately and medics opened the hatch and confirmed the crew are in good health condition.

All three taikonauts exit return capsule by 11:05 am and they are adapting to the gravity, CMSA updated.

The Shenzhou-13 crew exited the return capsule one hour and 10 minutes after their touchdown, faster than that for Shenzhou-12 crew which took one hour and 40 minutes.

Shenzhou-13 mission commander Zhai Zhigang got out of return capsule first, reporting "feeling good". Following him, "Star-picking mom is home," said Shenzhou-13 crew member Wang Yaping, the first spacewalking Chinese woman, waving to her daughter with a big smile after exiting return capsule. And Ye Guangfu, the youngest member of the three soon joined them with good spirits.

Nice to see all astronauts and the local rescue party wearing masks and practicing social distancing.
Are the astronauts up to date with the Chinese policy, which is now resulting in increasing numbers of deaths NOT attributable to Covid-19?

They have requested to be sent back into orbit apparently.

Farmers ratchet up acreage, make use of new technology to expand output

An article regarding Chinas food situation. What caught my eye was the use of pre-prepared strips of paper. Allegedly the bottom side is sprayed with fertilizer and then the seeds are sprayed on in a factory.

The paper dissolves, the seeds sprout and one less task, 1st fertilizer application, is required. This method uses less fertilizer and seed required for a field

Xi proposes Global Security Initiative at Boao Forum, ‘sends signal of peace, stability amid global turmoil’

Solidarity stressed amid global changes, injects confidence in economic recovery


By Chu Daye in Beijing

and Zhao Juecheng in Boao

"Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed a Global Security Initiative which stressed a commitment to the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security and to reject a Cold War mentality, group politics and bloc confrontation while delivering a keynote speech via video link at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2022 in South China's Hainan Province on Thursday.

Analysts said the proposal was necessary and urgent as solidarity, security and development is needed amid rising concerns over the impact on global stability and the economy brought by the Ukraine crisis and attempts to build small cliques to create confrontation. The proposal called on countries to take a comprehensive security concept to avoid the Cold War mentality and also injected confidence in the global economic recovery, analysts said.

Citing an old saying from the "Guanzi" collection of ancient Chinese writings "Stability brings a country prosperity while instability leads a country to poverty," Xi said in his speech that security is the precondition for development.

"We humanity are living in an indivisible security community. It has been proven time and again that the Cold War mentality would only wreck the global peace framework, that hegemonism and power politics would only endanger world peace, and that bloc confrontation would only exacerbate security challenges in the 21st century," Xi said.

Xi proposed the Global Security Initiative which stresses to stay committed to the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and work together to maintain world peace and security. It rejects the Cold War mentality, opposes unilateralism, and says no to group politics and bloc confrontation.

The initiative also opposes the pursuit of one's own security at the cost of others' security or the wanton use of unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction, rejects double standards, and stays committed to peacefully resolving differences and disputes between countries through dialogue and consultations, and supports efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of crises.

Xi's Global Security Initiative proposal is a timely call for countries to uphold the comprehensive and sustainable security vision at the time when the world is facing unprecedented challenges in terms of the pandemic and geopolitical conflicts, and resonated with many scholars and entrepreneurs at the Boao Forum.

"Countries around the world are like passengers aboard the same ship. Since all countries are now on the same ship, we cannot just take care of our passenger cabins (countries). We must also take care of our ship. Hence, we need to strengthen and not weaken multilateralism, as emphasized by President Xi," Kishore Mahbubani, Singaporean political scientist and distinguished fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, who is also a speaker at the forum, told the Global Times."
