A friend of mine just spotted this in True China



I fell way behind this thread and whoa, on page like 670 I see my old buddies from Good China!



They're probably local celebrities at one of the night markets, unfortunately don't remember which one this is from.

Got it, MORE SAUSAGE



Let's check out some other stuff at the night market


DUMPLINGS



SPONGE CAKE



TENTACLES




SCHWEINSHAXE!?


PEPPER CAKES





In conclusion, night market food is good, beef noodles (not pictured here) even better. I don't think PRC losers even have these.

It's a good headline, but the article has no suggestions on how it will "backfire"

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1113561.shtml

The Global Times posted:

US deploying Marines in AIT will backfire

No matter how the White House explains it or how US public opinion interprets it, sending Marines to Taiwan will beyond all doubt be regarded by China as a belligerent act of the US to challenge the situation in the Taiwan Straits. 

The question is, with only one month left, will the US roll back the decision. If the US fails to do so, it's imperative China act to warn it.

Thanks! This gave me a chuckle:

The Grauniad posted:

That dissent, while very unlikely to push Xi from power, could impede what had appeared to be his absolute hold over the party and the government. “His position is safe,” Lam said. “It’s just his authority has been dented to some extent. His authority has suffered.”
Would you say he has... lost face?

Well, it looks like Taiwan is determined to go down with a fight

Business Insider posted:

Taiwan's got a new cruise missile, and it's got mainland China's coastal strongholds in its sights
  • Taiwan has reportedly developed a new cruise missile suitable for stand-off strikes on China’s coastal strongholds.
  • Tensions between Beijing and Taipei have been on the rise in recent years as the Chinese government tries to clamp down on a resistant Taiwan.
  • Taiwan’s Indigenous Defence Fighters (IDFs) have been upgraded to support the new missile, reportedly the longest-range cluster munition carried by the Taiwanese air force.

Good kitty
on the coup thing: I've heard it from people with good connections that this is a thing, though it's not really a "coup" so much as trying to end the trade war and limit Xi's overreach - since it sounds like no one expects them to actually try to remove Xi. I did hear they wanted to get rid of Wang Huning. The Beidaihe meeting started a few days ago which is where people were expecting poo poo to go down, but I don't think any concrete news has come out of it yet
