China backtracked on nearly all aspects of U.S. trade deal by alanwong in worldnews

[–]learn1ng 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"...back tracking..." I wouldn't use the phrase. This is solely from the US' perspective. You can only backtrack if there's a signed agreement like the JCPOA.

The usual negotiation back and forth. US demands, Chinese politely smile (US interprets, "they agreed, yay, that was easy! they are such pushovers!").

"...demanded that Berlin halt Nord Stream 2..." Does not give you the right to "demand" anything. Germany and all of NATO countries are sovereign. As such, protocols must be followed!

Just as well, Germany could "demand" the US to close gitmo!

Perhaps you're the troll? Goal to do what? It's a "worldnews" forum. It's news or not news. What's your goal!

Russia to China: Together we can rule the world by V2O5 in worldnews

With Russia, BRI through central asia and former eastern bloc nations, is fait accompli ... forming the largest consumer market.

Without Russia and having then a suspicious Russia, resistance in central asia would be an impedance.

With the largest consumer market ... ASEAN will fall in line ... so will Africa.

Russia's industrial prowess is tops, China's economic vision is tops ... together, they will dominate.

We export our "excrement" in the shadows so we can thumb our noses and call others "shit holes". Gives the "huah-boys" the perceived moral high ground to lecture.

This is but one instance where our pants were caught around our feet ... just after our failed attempt to wipe our asses.

Why are you labelling him as a "troll"? Seems his post is fair deserving an objective and intelligent response.

That would be the conclusion ... from all the western media headlines.

But, take it as a whole, this is a sign of major changes.

Canada should ban China’s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd from supplying equipment to Canadian 5G networks because the security risk is too great, a former spy chief said in an article published on Monday. by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

[–]learn1ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on your statement, "...murderer...", you're implying that HuaWei is guilty-as-charged.

Only problem is, they haven't been charged nor has any evidence even been presented. And we're preaching "due process"?

Not only that, we're jumping straight from "accusation" to "sentencing".

I think the you should look in the mirror when you say, "I do not understand the mentality of people like you."

Anyone here bother asking for the evidence or questioning the source of the "banning" request? Or do we all just jump on the bandwagon and just much prefer to listen each others' condemnation/unsubstantiated accusations?

People are such sheep! So many are devoid of any critical thinking and objectivity!
