The Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and DB Weiss (boy did they ever drop off the face of the planet) were busy working with Netflix on adapting some best selling popular Chinese series of SciFi books called The Three Body Part Problem when tragedy struck production. Yoozoo Group is the Chinese company that owns the rights to the books and is their partner in this endeavour and they've recently hit a troublesome snag.

The Yoozoo Group Chairman, along with Benioff and Weiss among other executives from both sides of the pond, were apparently the victims of a poisoning on December 16th. Apparently the alledged poisoner was another Yoozoo Group Senior Executive, though investigations are still ongoing.

Separatists that would gladly take US money per PLA life?

Separatists that would gladly take US money per PLA life?

They wouldn't have to know that it was US money, as such. Such things can be managed with degrees of separation, and plausible deniability.

 

[PsihoKekec]

I'd be vary of such claims, last time it was such unconfirmed intelligence was about Russia, but it remained unconfirmed, everything probably made up to create a short time media storm.

465 camps... Three million interred... A story of threats to compel obedience, “the organs of dictatorship”, three million in the camps, everyone forced to beg and sing for food... Labor camps, re-education camps and, of course, Concentration Camps. Women raped, human experimentation, and those on the outside required to behave a certain way for their families on the inside to have hope.

Welcome to the true face of communism.

Add their 1984 attempt in removing possibility of buing tickets or somebody else who is non loyal.For now,technology help party control population,and internet there is party tool.
I hope,that we would never face that.Secret police is bad enough,but when every phone,computer or even tv could spy on you it is much worst.

Weren't they releasing water due to overflooding last year? Is it just a area thing? One part had floods the other had droughts?

 

[PsihoKekec]

You are thinking the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze river, which had to do emergency release during the last year floods, while this is a new dam on Mekong river, whose reservoir they started to fill now. It's a common courtesy to do the filling gradually and notify the downstream countries, but this is China we are talking about.

‘Good riddance,’ China says as Germany leaves UN Security Council

Ambassador Geng Shuang was responding to outgoing German envoy Christoph Heusgen’s appeal for Beijing to free two detained Canadians for Christmas.

www.scmp.com

A forty year old veteran of German diplomacy made his final appeal before Germany would end it's two year rotation on the UN Security Council in asking China to release the two Canadians they are holding hostage as a gesture for this Christmas season.

The Chinese diplomat in classic ChiCom professionalism replied "From the bottom of my heart, good riddance." He then accused Germany of poisoning the Councils work and hoped the Council would be in a better position next year with Germany gone.

Them's fighting words. That german diplomat should have grabbed the closest seat and start beating that bastard with it. To hell with diplomacy, China only understands violence and the threat of it.

Is this like Ethiopia's dam? Going to start asking for a water tribute next?

Is this like Ethiopia's dam?

It's not. Egypt can do something about Ethiopia's dam. Vietnam can do little about China's.
