Lol, they are really trying to appease Japan now. Stretching like Gumby.

Ministry to rescind national merit titles from pro-NK independence fighters

quote:

The Veterans Ministry will revoke national merit titles from independence fighters who supported Kim Il-sung, the former leader and founder of the communist regime in North Korea.

...

Meanwhile, the ministry is considering awarding titles of national merit to people whose contributions to modern and contemporary Korean society had been overlooked due to records of pro-Japanese activities.

Individuals who took part in pro-Japanese activities during the Japanese colonial occupation of Korea (1910-1945) such as Kim Seong-su, the founder of the local newspaper Dong-A Ilbo and the second Vice President of the country, and journalist Jang Ji-yeon, are under reevaluation.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I feel like there's absolutely no way these will actually appease anyone in any way that matters.

So it looks like the tech war is heating up again.

Netherland announced their new export control to China and China announced rare earth export control for a few semiconductor related materials.

I will see if I can find a twitter rehosting service.

Dutch semiconductor machine export restrictions to come into force in September

China curbs critical metal exports in retaliation for Western restrictions on chip industry

Its not clear whether the Netherlands government left a loop holes for the Chinese to mad rush some orders in before Sep.

If they showed a map without the nine dash line they would be banned in China which is a much larger market.

It could just be a map, not a lot of maps include territorial waters, you usually just get any notable islands on a map and who it belongs to

In other news, the Communist China national regime once again steps on the autonomy of Hong Kong and other regions.

When will the CCP allow its people to choose their own paths?
