China Making AI Chatbot Based on CCP Leader's Theory | China in Focus​

Beijing is broadcasting the theories of Chinese regime leader Xi Jinping far and wide. Now, they're bringing his words to a new medium: AI chatbots. But unlike other generative AI that make mistakes, the Xi-Bot is "always right." China is launching its biggest military drills in a year around Taiwan as a "strong punishment," ramping up pressure on Taiwan's new president just days after he took office. Reports say one of the world's top microchip companies—and its biggest buyer—could shut down their machines remotely, in case China invades Taiwan. Leaders of South Korea, China, and Japan will meet next week in Seoul for their first three-way talks since 2019. What's on the agenda?

China needs an enforced leadership change.

Time to call the CCP's bluff. Their navy is nothing more than a paper tiger and they know it. No functional aircraft carriers. No stealth fighters. Well, they do have one but it's missing one important element to being a stealth fighter, stealth. Their naval radars tend to overheat and shutdown when put under simulated full combat stress. Their command and control is highly centralized, as most militaries ruled by extremist dickheads tend to be. This means there's no flexibility and if the command and control ship is sunk or severely damaged, the rest of the fleet becomes target practice.

The West has an idiotic habit of taking the claims of the CCP and Russia (and before that the USSR) at face value. Yet time and time again their claims of superior weaponry have proven to be nothing more than mental masturbations designed to cow Westerners into letting them do what they want without challenge.

How many times has Putin threatened to let the nukes fly if some arbitrary line of his was crossed? And how many nukes has he fired off? Now he's trying to ramp it up a notch by having nuclear weapons drills for the tactical nuke force.
The CCP does the same shit sans the nuclear dick-waving. And Xi is engaging in obfuscation when he says that Taiwan is part of China. While it is technically a province of the Republic of China, it is NOT a province of the People's Republic of China. A difference with a distinction that the UN refuses to acknowledge because China is a permanent member of the UNSC.

Once again I argue that the UN (and ALL of its organs) is an illegitimate organization, elected by no-one, answerable to no-one, and unable to control its own Security Council members. Why do we listen to anything those shit fucks tell us?! Now they wanna give Palestine statehood as a reward for 76 years of terrorist warfare and multiple calls for exterminating the Jews.

In 1974 I remember thinking with wonderment how amazing things would be in 50 years. Too bad it's amazingly stupid. I really miss 1974.

Democracies really need to either abandon the joke called the UN, or boot out all the terrorist and repressive regimes.

Democracies really need to either abandon the joke called the UN, or boot out all the terrorist and repressive regimes.

That'll only happen by "force" once the average person figures out the UN is a thoroughly corrupt, decrepit organization that blows in whatever direction the money is coming from.

There's one fatal flaw in the potential for the CCP to attack Taiwan. China would fuck itself in the process. 4 of the 9 largest microchip manufacturers are located in Taiwan and those 4 produce around 70% of the global supply. China needs those chips just as much as everyone else. A war with Taiwan would most certainly see either those factories destroyed or the tech stripped out and taken to a safer country.

More Chinese and Russians are attempting to breach U.S. military bases in a concerning trend. A delegation of U.S. lawmakers is in Taiwan. They say U.S. weapons are on the way, and that the United States supports Taiwan's new president. China, Japan, and South Korea are restarting trade talks with the Chinese premier.

Restricted Chinese Firms Rebrand as American: Report | China in Focus​

U.S. public pensions have poured over $60 billion into China. But some states are rolling out laws to buck the trend.

Experts say one goal is to keep their U.S. operations running, while some say that allowing them to exposes loopholes in U.S. enforcement. Top officials warn more sanctions on China are coming from both the United States and NATO, as concerns loom over China's support for Russia's war in Ukraine.

Countering Communism in the U.S. With Memorial for Its Victims | China in Focus​

A virus—spread worldwide, killing millions—enabled by the lies of the Chinese Communist Party. Millions of American jobs lost because of the Chinese regime's technology theft. Chinese companies buy up land near U.S. military bases, and Chinese hackers target U.S. water and power systems, threatening American safety and our way of life. All this leads to a question: What is the true nature of the Chinese Communist Party? Chinese people first discovered it 35 years ago, when Chinese students protested in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, calling for freedom. And the People’s Liberation Army unleashed weapons of war on unarmed people. Thirty-five years later, have Americans learned the truth about the CCP? To find out, we welcomed two guests: Zhou Fengsuo, a former student leader in China during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, who fought for freedom in China, and Tom Oliverson, a member of the Texas House of Representatives, who's working on constructing a monument in Texas to honor victims of communism around the world.
