A fun exercise is to take statements like "China has already started to test it's borders" and look up what it actually means. So I checked what Nepalese media was writing about this (at least what I could find in english). There wasn't much information beyond that Nepal and China had a disagreement over the exact location of the border. But I noticed a lot of talk about "pillar number 12" and finally found an article with more concrete information and pictures that illustrated just how seriuos this issue is.





Still, I bet the Nepalese government is upset!



Call me a Tankie but I'm going to remain unconvinced that China will annex Europe by 2055.

China is absolutely going to overtake the EU in terms of GDP by 2055, no matter what secret plans a Uyghur prisoner claims to have seen.

That said, border disputes like this is why I don't take China's talk of being a peaceful hegemon seriously. Why bother playing around with new border villages and border markers.

They export (as shown by the graph) half of the AZ vaccine they produce. I think their export went to Japan and Taiwan's first batch. Japan for whatever reason can't even produce vaccine thru partnership or licensing.

Edit, OK nevermind, your joke went over my head.

wow japan is like the last country i would have expected to not have vaccine production capabilities

Does the US food production not suffer swine flu? Is there a conspiracy?

I think if China wants to push their own version of lab leak, they would start from the N1H1 flu.

Japan was an absolutist military dictatorship where children were trained from school to die for the emperor and women worked 15 hour days until they died of over exhaustion.

The no Japanese domestic vaccine thing is partly because a bunch of kids got bad side effects 30 years ago from a vaccine and the court ruled that the government was on the hook for any adverse effects from them.
