Macron would be inappropriate guest at BRICS summit, says Russiareuters posted:
The fact that Macron publicly asked to attend Brics is weird; Russia public poo poo on the idea is also weird. I predict this is just the first half of the drama.

Mantis42 posted:this map stinks, not only because different diagonal lines are a terrible way to convey information but also the place names it's just wade giles, the major romanization system before pinyin replaced it in the 1960s. of course wade giles was by foreigners for foreigners, and pinyin the opposite and also pinyin owns but a map of places in 1911 is probably using their official 1911 romanizations Shaanxi being Shensi is weird until you read quote:In older texts, Shaanxi was written as Shensi, as early as 1748.[10] "Shensi" was recognized in the 1906 Chinese postal romanization. "Shensi" continued to be popular alongside "Shaanxi" until 1987 when the PRC officially banned pre-PRC romanizations. Antonymous has issued a correction as of 19:52 on Jun 23, 2023 |

Shaanxi is a pre-PRC romanizationquote:The transcriptions of 陝西 and its neighbouring province 山西 are troublesome for Beijing Mandarin-based transcriptions, which pronounces both as /ʂan ɕi/ only with a different tone (Shǎnxī and Shānxī). To avoid tone marks, the double "a" in "Shaan" (listen) was borrowed from the Gwoyeu Romatzyh scheme of 1928.

Antonymous posted:elected quote:In 1953 Soong served on the committees preparing for elections to the new National People's Congress and the drafting of the 1954 constitution. Soong was elected a Shanghai deputy to the first NPC, which adopted the constitution at its first meeting in September 1954. She was elected one of 14 vice-chairpeople of the NPC's standing committee, chaired by Liu Shaoqi. In December of the same year, she was elected a vice-chairwoman of the CPPCC, which became a consultative body, and replaced Liu Shaoqi as chairperson of the Sino-Soviet Friendship Association. quote:She was re-elected to the post of Vice-chairperson of the PRC at the Third National People's Congress in 1965, and appeared frequently in the early 1960s on ceremonial occasions, often greeting important visitors from abroad. being elected by the National People's Congress still counts

Do you guys know Song Qingling (Soong Ching-ling) had a life companion. But because she was the widow of the father of the modern China, the Chinese government didn't let her remarry officially. So the man acted as her secretary for the rest of her life.
