    China and Nicaragua sign MoU to push BRI cooperation
    Another dictator who's going to line his pockets with chinky cash and force the state to borrow loads of cash off them to build a motorway or airport no-one needs, with chinky labour and materials, and at an extortionate interest rate.

    Montenegro can't pay back as expected and is now asking money from the EU. If they can't pay they might have to give up property like Sri Lanka.

    "When I criticize meddling in Syria by Britain and America, or their backing of groups there that elsewhere are considered terrorists, it does not follow that I am, therefore, a cheerleader for the dictatorship of Bashar Assad or that I think that Syrians should be denied a better political system. Similarly, when I criticize Joe Biden or the Democratic party, it does not necessarily follow that I think Donald Trump would have made a better president.

    A major goal of critical thinking is to stand outside tribal debates, where people are heavily invested in particular outcomes, and examine the ways debates have been framed. This is important because one of the main ways power expresses itself in our societies is through the construction of official narratives – usually through the billionaire-owned media – and the control and shaping of public debate.

    You are being manipulated – propagandized – even before you engage with a topic if you look only at the substance of a debate and not at other issues: such as its timing, why the debate is taking place or why it has been allowed, what is not being mentioned or has been obscured, what is being emphasized, and what is being treated as dangerous or abhorrent.

    If you want to be treated like a grown-up, an active and informed participant in your society rather than a blank sheet on which powerful interests are writing their own self-serving narratives, you need to be doing as much critical thinking as possible – and especially on the most important topics of the day."

    Oh dear the old chinkies will be whinging again. And sabang will probably once again demonstrate that he doesn't understand what "genocide" means.

    France's parliament on Thursday denounced a "genocide" by China against its Uyghur Muslim population, in a resolution that risks straining ties between Paris and Beijing two weeks before the Winter Olympics.

    The non-binding resolution, adopted with 169 votes in favour and just one against, was proposed by the opposition Socialists in the lower house of parliament but also backed by President Emmanuel Macron's Republic on the Move (LREM) party.

    It reads that the National Assembly "officially recognises the
    violence perpetrated by the People's Republic of China against the Uyghurs as constituting crimes against humanity and genocide".


    It also calls on the
    French government to undertake "the necessary measures within the international community and in its foreign policy towards the People's Republic of China" to protect the minority group in the Xinjiang region.


    "
    China is a great power. We love the Chinese people. But we refuse to submit to propaganda from a regime that is banking on our cowardice and our avarice to perpetrate a genocide in plain sight," Socialist party chief Olivier Faure said.

    The Uygur ethnic group accounts for 44.96% of the total population, and 77.85% of the population of all minority ethnic groups in Xinjiang. The average life expectancy has risen from 30 to 72 years over the past 60 years. Has anyone ever seen such a “genocide”? Picking cotton in Xinjiang is a lucrative job. Nobody needs to be forced to earn more money and make a good living. There is no need for “forced labor” as 70% of cotton in Xinjiang are picked mechanically.

    Wine tasting events to ice fishing holidays. Take your pick.

    Raising a glass to Chinese vintners

    By Warren Singh-Bartlett | China Daily | Updated: 2022-01-20 08:43


    "Back in December 2020, when I last managed to get out of Beijing, I spent Christmas Day in Cizhong, a village on the Lancang River (the upper reaches of the Mekong) in a deep valley in Yunnan province. I was in search of a taste of the past; wine made from a grape varietal extinct in its native France. I not only enjoyed a bottle of the Hongxiao family's "rose honey" wine, which is produced from those rare grapes, I also sampled more sophisticated blends produced at the modern winery nearby.

    I was reminded of Cizhong at a recent wine tasting in Beijing-a world away from Yunnan, but in late December, almost as chilly-where one of the bottles was a merlot from Shangri-La-the winery better known for its (very) pricey cabernet, Ao Yun. Tannic and high in alcohol, it reminded me of a Lebanese Red, probably because both are made from high-altitude grapes.

    Hosted by Fongyee Walker, one of China's few registered Masters of Wine and director of Dragon Phoenix Wine Consultants, the evening was an eight-bottle exploration of Chinese wine, "but not cabernet sauvignon", she laughed, a teasing reference to the 2000s infatuation with planting the varietal that almost derailed China's wine diversity."

    Tourists find their catch of the day

    The View, from China-61ea01bda310cdd3d82838ec-jpeg

    Local fishermen in Fuhai county, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, gather together to catch fish from the frozen Ulungur Lake during the county's fifth winter fishing festival on Saturday.

    "When Fuhai county in Altay prefecture, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, is blanketed by snow in the bone-chilling winter, the fish in the county's Ulungur Lake are, apparently, at their tastiest with their exceptionally delicate flesh. In a tradition stretching back more than six decades, fishermen dig holes on the lake's frozen surface, cast nets into them and haul tons of the fish up through the ice.

    The county has turned the start of the annual fishing practice into a cultural event by holding a winter fishing festival to attract tourists from nearby areas to come to experience the lively, magnificent scene of winter fishing as well as sample and purchase the fresh ingredients."

    Elon Musk is facing a social media backlash after China complained that its space station was forced to avoid collisions with satellites launched by his Starlink Internet Services project.

    The country's space station had two "close encounters" with Starlink satellites this year, Beijing claimed.

    The incidents behind the complaints, lodged with the UN's space agency, have not yet been independently verified.
    Uh huh

    China has ramped up its plans to launch low-Earth orbit satellite constellations to give 5 G service that could offer speeds of up to 500 Mbps.

    The project by start-up GalaxySpace aims to build up a network of a thousand satellites within the next three months.


    The first batch of six low-cost, high-performance communication satellites have been produced, tested and arrived at an undisclosed launch site, reported the state news agency Xinhua on Tuesday.
    Uh huh.

    2021 was China’s best year. Ever.

    For the Haters-



    This week’s China Sitrep is by Godfree Roberts and went viral across the resistance sites.

    Amidst global gloom, 2021 was the best year in modern Chinese history. Here’s what they accomplished:


    • Eliminated extreme poverty.
    • Reached 96% home ownership.
    • Kept Covid death rate at 0.6% of America’s.


    bigger
    • Grew the economy $2 trillion PPP, the fastest growth ever.
    • Became the richest country on earth.
    • Became the world’s biggest overseas investor.
    • Became the world’s largest movie market.
    • Produced nearly one new billionaire and 300 millionaires every workday.
    • Completed new train lines in seven countries, including Laos’ first.
    • Ran 15,000 cargo trains to and from Europe, up 30% YoY.
    • Joined RCEP trade pact, with 30% of global GDP and of the world’s population.
    • Sold $140 billion retail online in 24 hours (Amazon’s record is $5 billion).
    • Launched the first central bank digital currency.
    • Dominated scientific research and issued the most patents of any country.




    • Built three exascale computers that won the Gordon Bell prize for high performance computing.
    • Built a programmable quantum computer 10,000x faster than Google’s Sycamore.
    • Operated the first integrated, 3,000-mile, commercial, quantum communications network.
    • Brought online two gas-cooled Pebble Bed nuclear power plants.
    • Fired up two thorium-fueled reactors, eliminating uranium from power generation.
    • Released a Covid treatment that reduces hospitalizations and deaths 78%.
    • Made 55% of global energy savings.
    • Generated 1 terawatt of renewable energy.
    • Installed one-million 5G base stations, giving Tibet better 5G service than New York.
    • Communicated between satellites via lasers, 1,000x faster than radio waves.
    • Operated the world’s most powerful solid rocket engine, with 500 tonnes thrust.
    • Flew three hypersonic missiles around the planet.
    • Released a fractional orbital bombardment missile from another missile at 17,000 mph.
    • Simultaneously commissioned three warships, becoming the world’s biggest navy.

    Expect China to maintain this pace through 2022 by launching, among other things, the first, greenfield, automated, 21st century city for six million knowledge workers. With 70% woods and lakes, the loudest sound will be birdsongs.

    Penalty for not answering questions with the approved state answer:

    Three years in jail for "Picking quarrels and provoking trouble".

    Or thirteen years for "Subversion of state power".

    Stupid chinky sycophants try and ignore this.

    The first rule of Chinky Club: You do not say Chinky Club is fucking stupid.



    David Fincher’s 1999 “Fight Club” is at the center of a social media firestorm in China after a new version of it replaced the original ending with a terse message saying all criminals were apprehended and the authorities triumphed.

    Tencent Video subscribers mocked the newly abridged and altered ending for distorting the original film’s message and intent. Based on Chuck Palahniuk’s book by the same name, “Fight Club” culminates in the unnamed narrator killing off his alter ego Tyler Durden and setting off a chain of explosions destroying all bank and credit records, resetting the economy. None of that is present in the new Chinese version, which treats the movie’s Project Mayhem undertaking as a thwarted and misguided attempt at criminality.

    “Through the clue provided by Tyler, the police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding,” the Tencent Video version tells viewers, before adding its own creative twist: “After the trial, Tyler was sent to lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment.”

    Good old chinkies, "purifying" the internet for "make glorious benefit of citizens" no doubt.

    Hong Kong (CNN Business)China's top cybersecurity regulator is vowing to crack down on "illegal" online content as part of a campaign to clean up the internet ahead of the Beijing Winter Olympics and one of the country's most important annual holidays.

    The Cyberspace Administration of China announced Tuesday that its month-long internet "purification" campaign is intended to create a "healthy, happy, and peaceful online environment."
