You may know that revealing the records will likely have undesired consequences for the sources. It is their full right to protect them.

Having said that, the article reads that

… a spokesperson for Trump Jr. did not dispute the wedding payments from Kremlev.

It is also noteworthy that, according to the linked article,

… in the days leading up to Trump Jr.’s wedding, Kremlev was in China as part of the delegation accompanying Putin, according to Chinese state media. The month before, Putin had bestowed him with a state honor, the Order of Friendship.

The Ukrainian government has imposed sanctions on Kremlev personally, citing his closeness to Putin and Russian security services.

This is about Australian security, the espionage happens on Australian ground. Canberra reacts a bit late imo, but better late than never.

You are frequently posting similar articles with a strong anit-Western, and often pro-China bias.

Fighting one extremism with another is always wrong. China is exploiting societal issues in Canada and other Western countries by using legitimate critique to undermine the system. It’s easier then to present China’s system as the better alternative - which, of course, isn’t.

China’s dictatorial policy is just the same as any right-wing fascist regime. They basically commit the same crimes, just the pretext is different.

Neo-fascists must be fought everywhere including in Canada. Though the message sounds right, the courier is more than questionable. This is a media outlet by the far-left that is frequently praising China, a country whose government by no means better.

There is more to trade in the future than food and raw materials. But even if it were that simple, the move would reduce export dependencies for all three countries. More than a third of Australia’s exports - and a quarter of New Zealand’s - go to China, while the U.S. holds also a substantial export shares of both countries. Canada supplies three quarters of its exports to the U.S.

So this agreement of like-minded democratic countries would make them more resilient against future coercion. Even if that would be the only advantage (which is not imo), it is already enough.

Thanks for this.

No, it is not answered there. It’s really sad how many young people just parrot the fantasy stories they are given and don’t even argue themselves. These people needed support to strengthen their individual personalities, but are instead exploited by a brutal propaganda machinery. It’s a shame.

If nothing happened on June 4 in 1989, why are these numbers censored in China? Why are organizers of peaceful vigils jailed?

I doesn’t add up. It’s horrible what the Chinese government did on that day, and what it still does. And it’s sad to see that so many people fall for its disinformation and misinformation game.

As replacing the battery costs a third of a new car, it might have an effect how you calculate the price you are willing to pay. It will effect the lease rates in case you lease the car.

As the used car market currently has limited visibility on the actual condition of a battery and no one buys the used car in case you want to sell, it may also be a recycling issue.

Another point is that most Chinese EV makers are in the red. Global research company AlixPartners say only a handful of the more than 100 of China’s EV makers will be financially viable within the next five years. What if one of them goes bankrupt and you need spare parts or a battery?

The article raises a lot of good questions imho.

I’m sure the command came straight from the CPC,

Yes, this is correct.

Nah, the address would have been Tiananmen Square no 6 in the 4th floor 4, so 6/4. But officials said it’s censored for whatever reason. It’s really weird. I mean, what sense does it make to censor numbers?

Initially they wanted their headquarters to be in Beijing near Tiananmen Square, but the Chinese Communist Party rejected to provide office space for undisclosed reason.

Oh no, this is not capitalism. This is “socialism with Chinese characteristics” (aka the ideology with the highest degree of labour abuse in history).

The real figure is that China’s coal use is rising, and even the Chinese government says it will be rising at least until the end of this decade. China will also increase its fossil fuel consumption by 8-10 percent in the next five years, according to the Chinese Communist Party’s own plan.

It is important to note that neither country is on track to meet the Paris goal, but China is much worse than the EU regarding its climate actions.

These headline are popping you once in a while, but it has nothing to do with reality. It’s just about framing a bad development in a way so that it makes China great again.

Here is a brief rating for Shein:

To save you a click:

• Shein uses few lower-impact materials.
• It follows an unsustainable fast fashion model with quickly changing trends and regular new styles.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• It’s set a science based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain but there’s no evidence it is on track.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to minimise microplastic impacts.
• Most of its final production stage happens in China, an extreme risk country for labour abuse.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate SHEIN “We Avoid” overall.

Such companies should be shut down completely.

This ‘news’ is pure propaganda. China spread it 5 or so weeks ago already, and now it pops up again.

The total coal consumption is on the rise in China, and it will be so for the next five years as it plans its peak of coal use in 2030. It doesn’t say when it plans to exit coal entirely.

Meanwhile in the EU, coal has long peaked. The bloc’s coal power share hit a record low in 2025, collapsing to 9.2 percent. Phase out is scheduled by 2030.

About one-fifth of the Amazon has already been deforested. Scientists at FOSPA warned that combined with global warming, the forest is nearing an irreversible tipping point …

And the next big threat is already visible as Brazil & China megarailway raises deforestation warnings in the Amazon,

• Brazilian and Chinese authorities — including Presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Xi Jinping — recently discussed a proposed railway that would connect Brazil’s Atlantic coast to Peru’s new Pacific-facing Chancay Port, cutting through the Amazon.
• From Lucas do Rio Verde, a major agricultural hub in the state of Mato Grosso, the railway would be built from scratch, advancing into the Amazon’s Arc of Deforestation.
• Planners intend to build the Amazonian section of the railway alongside existing highways, a strategy aimed at minimizing environmental impacts and streamlining the licensing process.
• However, environmental activists warn that the Bioceanic Corridor, together with newly planned roads, waterways and ports, could accelerate deforestation and degradation in the rainforest.

“People even didn’t get five minutes of lead time,” Dharam Raj Uprety, chief executive of Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, told Bloomberg News in an interview. “We don’t have weather stations in high mountain areas” because of the “lack of trans-boundary data seeding mechanisms,” or limited sharing of weather and climate data across national borders. - [Source]
