That’s what the West thinks about Duterte?
Damn. Y’all are so far off base it’s absurd. Talk to a Filipino one of these days.
Lmao this is coming from the same safety organization that approved the Tesla Cybertruck?
I’ll take my chances with a car that’s seen EU approval.
Lmao the Philippines is really out here pissing off all of its neighbours
Duterte’s domestic policy was fucked up, but at least he had sensible foreign policy
Italian company blames Turkish company blames Chinese company. Typical.
No country in that entire supply chain is known for being reliable lmfao this was plain cost-savings and corruption all the way down.
The US disrupting foreign affairs in order to prevent an ally from swaying towards a rival? I’ve never seen this one before /s
Lmao a big problem is that a lot of these influencers aren’t actually wealthy. They can’t actually afford their lifestyles, and the Chinese government has been trying to control “fake Internet personas” for a while.
China views social media as an extension of in-person relationships rather than it’s own independent entity.
Economic coercion, like:
the embargo on Cuba?
legislation to raise EV tariffs by 100% and block semiconductor exports?
sanctions on India?
sanctions on Pakistan?
tell me more about this “economic coercion”, because it seems like we’re talking to an expert in the matter.
First human trial for a treatment strategy passed (notably, we know that placebo treatments for diabetes fail). This more than passes the bar to justify further large-scale human trials and, clinically, is a very strong indicator of success.
What, is it not a cure until it’s available to the public?
Ooo “mysterious”
Who the fuck cares? Every major space power does weird shit in space.
Tax dollars at work everyone
Is this supposed to be a response to the propaganda leaflets that got dropped on North Korea?
I wasn’t aware that had happened recently, but I know it was a thing in the past.
shh The Guardian had a slow news day ok
No, there’s many many Hui Arabic-style mosques.
Maybe The Guardian doesn’t know about them and doesn’t consider them “major”, but that sounds like The Guardian’s problem.
The old Chinese style building was there until the end of the Qing Dynasty or whatever
China’s property glut is being eaten up by the rural-urban migration. It’s not a static demand market.
There’s domes everywhere, not really sure what The Guardian is talking about
Subsidized by the government like…
Tesla?

They’re made to saturate and destroy markets with cheap goods, driving out the competition. Once there is no competition, they have the market to themselves and can manipulate as they see fit.
Don’t come here to lemmy.world with your reasonable takes on socialism. Don’t you know socialism is bad?
I’m sure this has nothing to do with the $600 billion water megaproject that IIRC is supposed to route the Red Flag river through that village…
Names come with utility and meaning. If a village has a new utility, it typically takes a new name (New Amsterdam -> New York, Ville-Marie -> Montreal). Guardian at its finest.
