    Second 'outbreak' hits USS Roosevelt as five sailors test positive for the coronavirus and are remov

    I heard it's because of a high rate of LGBT in the USN, this is a longstanding US military stereotype, so there is a lot of 'personal body contact' between sailors even despite the overwhelmingly male environment.

    Vietnam rejects China's fishing ban

    Very vulgar and immature, I think you are disgracing this forum.

    Vietnam rejects China's fishing ban

    I think his meaning is quite obvious: Viet fisherman can't fish in Chinese waters, where Chinese law applies and will be enforced, so they have to go back to the Viet jungle, outside of China's jurisdiction, where they can harvest bananas instead.

    German intelligence says China’s Xi pressured WHO to delay global warnings about COVID-19 in January

    It doesn't matter what I "think" or you think, the problem is that the lack of evidence to support these conspiracy theories about "secret conversations". Whispers and hearsay from intelligence agencies like CIA are not enough. Just like their evidence to support Iraq WMDs theory was weak, and...

    German intelligence says China’s Xi pressured WHO to delay global warnings about COVID-19 in January

    Which doesn't support your alleged "Jan 21 conversation" theory at all, because obviously such a conversation cannot retroactively produce a declaration made Jan 14. All it shows is that by Jan 20, the Chinese government had a better understanding of a mysterious new disease than it did based on...

    German intelligence says China’s Xi pressured WHO to delay global warnings about COVID-19 in January

    That scientist is Zhong Nanshan, a government spokesperson: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-pneumonia-commission/china-confirms-human-to-human-transmission-of-new-coronavirus-xinhua-idUSKBN1ZJ1SB China confirms human-to-human transmission of new coronavirus: Xinhua (Reuters) -...

    German intelligence says China’s Xi pressured WHO to delay global warnings about COVID-19 in January

    That's why it's enough never to rely on just one source. Not just BND (as said by DS), but also Five-Eyes spying alliance denounced this theory: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/04/five-eyes-network-contradicts-theory-covid-19-leaked-from-lab Five Eyes network contradicts theory...

    German intelligence says China’s Xi pressured WHO to delay global warnings about COVID-19 in January

    This is a really low IQ comment. Beijing time is 6 hours faster than Berlin time. So Jan 20 Beijing has 6 hours overlap with Jan 19 Berlin time. But a conversation that takes place on Jan 21 Berlin time can never take place before or at the same time as Jan 20 Beijing time, there is no overlap...

    German intelligence says China’s Xi pressured WHO to delay global warnings about COVID-19 in January

    That's logically absurd, China already declared human-human transmission on Jan 20, WHO can't beat China in the race by declaring on Jan 21 or any date after. Listen to what you're saying. All these reports come from Der Spiegel, a scandalous German tabloid known for its fake news...

    German intelligence says China’s Xi pressured WHO to delay global warnings about COVID-19 in January

    Fake news, China confirmed human-human transmission on Jan 20, before this alleged "conversation" even took place: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/20/world/asia/coronavirus-china-symptoms.html China Confirms New Coronavirus Spreads From Humans to Humans Published Jan. 20, 2020

    Angela Merkel says Germany has 'hard evidence' Russia hacked her emails

    Was she taking IT security advice from Hillary Clinton? It's so important for world leaders to take electronic security seriously, when it's breached they have no one to blame but themselves. I sure hope so. She's a childless female politician who entered a fake political marriage, I don't...

    The Love and Hate between India and China

    We love collecting $50B trade surplus from wealthy Hindus every year. But I'm concerned that the "make in India" plan will jeopardize this lucrative revenue stream, the worry keeps me up at night, I can't sleep

    China's major shale gas field sees breakthrough in output

    I'm not really concerned about price, more about a blockade during war. If we can adopt electric cars en masse running on domestically generated energy, that's just as good. As for relying on fusion energy (!) ... I want a backup plan lol, just in case it doesn't work.

    China's major shale gas field sees breakthrough in output

    I've long hoped to see greater focus and investment in natural gas vehicles so we can cut dependence on imported oil (vulnerable to blockade) and make use of our shale gas reserves, largest in the world. Let's see if the 14th 5-year-plan (2021-2025) makes any mention of it.

    American Families Only Half as Rich as Those in Chinese Cities

    Instead of measuring by average person's prosperity, we should measure a country's economic development by the richest billionaire's wealth instead: 1. USA (Jeff Bezos $140B, Bill Gates $100B, Zuckerberg $75B) 2. India (Mukesh Ambani $55B) 3. China (Jack Ma $40B) That's why the top 2 are...

    Is the US abandoning its war on Iran to focus directly on the so-called China threat?

    US may have ravaged your mother's and father's country, or s***hole as Trump kindly called it, but it can't do the same to its peer competitors I'm afraid.

    China’s Super Unbelievable Technology Innovation That Can Blow Your Mind

    We still get a lot of support from old school socialists and progressives outside China who support China's development, because it represents a possibility of development distinct from the neoliberal exploitation, racism and white supremacism that defines the western model.
