quote:

Twenty-eight Chinese air force aircraft, including fighters and nuclear-capable bombers, entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Tuesday, June 15, the island's government said, the largest reported incursion to date.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is it not the case that the ADIZ is simply a zone within which a plane is intended to declare its presence for the purposes of national defense, and by itself does not represent any kind of violation of borders or sovereignty?

like, wikipedia says:

quote:

They may extend beyond a country's territory to give the country more time to respond to possibly hostile aircraft.[2] The concept of an ADIZ is not defined in any international treaty and is not regulated by any international body.

because if true, then crossing into an ADIZ doesn't mean anything unless you want to insist that it does

the zionist argument is that Israel is not committing a genocide on Palestinians because the birth rate is/remains higher than Israel's, which is different from citing that the Uighur population has increased year-on-year

Well, the ADIZ is basically unofficial air aera which powerful nations draw and require civilian airplanes respect and report. And commercial airliners do follow the rules. However there are portions within ADIZ that other countries military planes respect and follow.

For example, Taiwan ADIZ extend into China's airspace, literally on top of Chinese land. However, the unspoken midline between Taiwan and mainland was the portion the Chinese military respected. I think they started going over the midline since summer last year.

The thing about ADIZ is that you can draw whatever you want around you, but you have to be able to enforce it. Taiwan nowadays simply doesn't have the hardware and manpower to enforce their ADIZ. This is also the reason China has declared ADIZ on the East China Sea near Japan but has not declared the ADIZ over South China Sea.

i've definitely seen zionists bring up the population numbers. and its also true that it has grown, which is why i think its a meaningless figure in both cases.

ive mentioned it elsewhere but it always bears repeating that the notion of the japanese as being an irrepressible warrior race is complete horseshit world war two turned them hard antiwar and its absolutely criminal how people think the whole no real army thing is something america forced on them and not something they had to fight for because we really wanted them to rearm and be a team player against the ruskies

related, there's this article which outlines the origin of bushido and how it was some japanese christian's attempt to sell japan as "white" to the west. samurai and bushido was meant to be analogous to knights and the chilvaric code and though reception was good in the west, people in japan thought it was bullshit. it wasn't until imperial japan needed it to self-mythologize the way so many fascist nations do did it gain internal recognition and support.

yah I often see the argument that “there’s more Palestinians now than there were when the ‘gEnOcIdE’ started”

(which to me puts it in that grey area between ethnic cleansing and genocide. it’s obviously evil whichever label you want to use I just don’t know how important it is to claim the latter over the former)

xinjiang is absolutely being gentrified but no one likes to use that word because its not as scary sounding and its something we do all the time even in countries we dont directly control

like south korea is gentrified by american cultural norms too to an increasingly large extent such that north korean propaganda directly criticizes it and are just dismissed as cranks because ethnic culture like isnt real man everythings connected now
