also I thought troop mobilisations near borders were an unacceptable act of aggression and escalation??

Remember those very brave 7000 who still had to rely on the Taliban to secure an airport and still ended up doing war crimes anyway

Just hope the national radiator schedule matches the outside temperature because north of Harbin is hell on Earth 5 months out of the year. I lived in north central China for several years and the radiators almost always came on a little late and end a little too early. The AQI seems good but everywhere around it is London Fog levels.

It's 4 hours from Harbin so it's kind of like talking up the affordable housing in Eureka, NV or some other place in the middle of nowhere. I can understand the desire but good luck finding a career worth doing.

China’s vaping queen is dethroned as Beijing targets tobacco
Xi Jinping’s reform campaign will be tested by state interests in $235bn industry

Sichuanese vaping queen Chu Lam Yiu has amassed almost $8bn filling the lungs of Chinese smokers over 25 years.

But her fortune went up in smoke after Chinese officials detained her in January.

Chu, a reclusive billionaire in her early fifties who lived in Hong Kong, started her tobacco flavouring business in 1996 and built her empire across China. However, her reign was cut short when she was placed under investigation for “suspected disciplinary violations”, according to a statement released by her company Huabao.

She is being held in “residential surveillance”, a form of off-grid detention used by the Chinese Communist party and criticised by human rights groups for lacking due process. Her son, Lam Ka Yu, who was educated in the US and the UK and is in his late 20s, was also detained.

Huabao manufacturers flavours and fragrances for tobacco, food and personal products. More than $5bn has been wiped off the value of two of the group’s listed companies since it disclosed the investigation.

The sudden downfall of Chu, one of China’s richest self-made women, is the latest example of how President Xi Jinping’s rejuvenated graft crackdown is increasingly targeting not only corrupt officials but also the entrepreneur class that has fuelled the country’s economic growth.

"The United States continues to urge the Taliban to allow unhindered humanitarian access, safe conditions for humanitarians, independent provision of assistance to all vulnerable people and freedom of movement for aid workers of all genders," a press release stated at the time. "We will continue to work to alleviate the suffering of the Afghan people and call on other donors to continue to contribute to this international response."

The U.S., however, is under growing pressure to unfreeze Afghanistan's assets. The Taliban met with western diplomats from the U.S., Britain, France, Italy and Norway in January during a series of closed-door meetings in Oslo to discuss the humanitarian crisis affecting millions of Afghans.

It marked the first official talks since the group seized power six months ago.

"We are requesting them to unfreeze Afghan assets and not punish ordinary Afghans because of the political discourse," Taliban delegate Shafiullah Azam told The Associated Press on Jan. 23. "Because of the starvation, because of the deadly winter, I think it's time for the international community to support Afghans, not punish them because of their political disputes."

They're all dickheads. There was an iron chef between Masaharu Morimoto and Bobby Flay, and before they even had the food tasting Flay was jumping on the counters and celebrating his assumed victory. After he lost he blamed the kitchen space for making him lose.

You're confusing Jupiter with Zeus. It's a pretty common (but false) narrative that the Roman religion is just the Greek religion with the names swapped but that's categorically untrue. You'd never see Jupiter shapeshifting to get it on with a human, he was aloof and only communicated through lightning and manipulating the flights of birds.
