The Connecticut is currently in Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, undergoing a long series of repairs that will last until 2026, at the soonest.

Also they talk about how the navy has a huge backlog, and how China has a higher shipbuilding capability. Things are going good for the American empire. 👍

Mmm hell yeah, strikes all around. E: Some more details, from shittier sources. But the messaging out of the ruling party is laffo. July 7th Labor Minister urges KCTU to halt "political" strike quote:Labor Minister Lee Jung-sik held an emergency meeting Friday morning to counter a nationwide strike by the KCTU and pointed out that some of the union demands do not fit the legal requirement that they should relate to working conditions. Umm that's political, not work related! Illegal! July 12th Hyundai workers to hold strike in protest against 'anti-union' government July 13th Tens of thousands of Korean health care workers go on general strike Government criticizes timing, legitimacy of medical workers' strike quote:"However, justification must be secured when it comes to staging strikes. It's questionable whether it is justified this time. Since what they demand is labor-management issues, it is right for the union to negotiate with their management, not demand government policies,” Second Vice Minister Park Min-soo also said in an interview on Wednesday. Umm that's work related, but think of the patients! Illegal! Gildiss has issued a correction as of 07:15 on Jul 15, 2023 |

I always found those 'youth unemployment' statistical categories to be like, deliberately as dumb as possible because it is specifically groups of people where you expect most or large chunks of them to be in full time education, not work, and deliberately lumping them in with the unemployed makes it impossible to actually draw useful conclusions And that's probably exactly the point

it doesn't count students like all forms of unemployment it is people actively looking for work and not finding it as a ratio of those working + looking for work USA defines unemployment as: Did you apply for or ask about a job in the last 4 weeks and not get it? and also not make any money at all or do any work for yourself or family members such as farm work or taking care of a sick sibling or parent, or work for your own business or a family business but not pay yourself? Can you start a new job within one week? Are you not waiting for another job to resume within 6 months from now? If yes, yes, and yes - unemployed. China defines as: are you an urban resident and have you applied for a job and not gotten it in the last 3 months? can you start a job within two weeks? if yes and yes - unemployed nobody else enters into the equation except people with jobs and the people who fit the above criteria edit: many of the comments on the twitter post point out this fact Big Bad Idiot has issued a correction as of 08:57 on Jul 15, 2023 |

based on what the comments said, roughly one in fourteen chinese between ages 16 and 25 are unemployed, which is a 20% unemployment rate when you consider that 1/3 of people that age are in the workforce

The government of Hong Kong is offering a bounty of up to $1 million to anyone who can help find eight activists who fled to other countries and continue to fight against its authoritarian government. I am not one of the eight, but all of us who fight for democracy in Hong Kong are in danger from a Chinese government that is chasing us for showing that it has broken its promises to keep Hong Kong a vibrant and free city-state. I became an activist for democracy in Hong Kong at the age of 14, when I started participating in pro-democracy marches – hardly a radical thing to do. But eventually, when I was 21, I realized I had to leave Hong Kong, knowing that I would be arrested under the newly imposed National Security Law and face charges up to life in prison. Most of the friends I made throughout my activism have either fled or languish in jail. But leaving doesn’t solve the problem. The government of Hong Kong, directed by China, has sent people to harass us. The eight who are targeted are living in the U.K., the U.S., or Australia. Now, with the bounties, there will be more reason for people to stalk us. And I don’t see any evidence that the democracies that have provided refuge realize how serious this is. Instead of taking steps to hold China accountable, they are trying to create warmer relations. Four years ago, I was harassed and followed by Chinese spies in Boston, where I organized rallies in support of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement. Although one of the Chinese agents involved, a U.S. citizen, was recently indicted, more needs to be done. Many communities living overseas have endured constant surveillance and harassment by China’s 110 overseas secret police stations. China continues to deny their existence, and very few countries have made them shut down. The outposts of the Hong Kong government, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices, located in 14 cities worldwide, have also been working closely with Chinese consulates to brush off their ongoing records of human rights violations in the city state while maintaining close relationships with world democracies. It’s the first time Hong Kong has issued official arrest warrants on overseas activists, with bounty eight times more than it would pay for help in arresting a child rapist and three times more than it would offer for a murder. John Lee, the chief executive, said that the eight activists would be “pursued for life.” Many Hong Kong activists fled Hong Kong in the past three years as the government jailed dissidents who voiced opposition to Beijing. Many have said publicly they will not return to Hong Kong. So why is the government placing these bounties? The rationale likely rests in geopolitics. The list of wanted activists was evenly distributed among the U.S., the U.K., and Australia, all of which have begun re-engaging with China recently after three years of diplomatic freeze. It’s as if Hong Kong is saying, can we go this far? Further? What will you tolerate? It is testing these democracies, and they are letting China win. Despite China's persistent repression of dissidents both within and beyond its borders, these countries have continued to prioritize improved ties and deeper economic interests over addressing human rights abuses. Instances of repression, such as the attack on Hong Kong protester Bob Chan in the Chinese consulate ground in Manchester, have not prompted strong action from the U.K. government. Attacks continue to happen against Hongkongers, including two who were recently kicked and manhandled by a group of pro-CCP activists at a rally in Southampton to mark the anniversary of the 2019 Hong Kong movement. Meanwhile in the U.S., the Biden administration has hinted its intention to invite the U.S.-sanctioned John Lee to attend the APEC Summit in San Francisco in November. By neglecting China's human rights abuses, countries are exacerbating the situation. If they fail to defend their residents and refuse to impose economic and political consequences on China, this stalking and harassment will persist. This lack of action will also set a dangerous precedent, raising the bar for accountability on human rights abusers, like Russia and Iran, and sending a message to the world that their countries are no longer safe for free speech. The international community, including the countries in which the activists reside as well as all Interpol member states, should prioritize human rights in their policy toward China. Diplomatic engagements should not be pursued that compromise the security of its people. So far, the U.K, the U.S., and Australia have done nothing to punish China or Hong Kong for this outrageous decision to hunt down people who have entered those countries legally, seeking refuge. It must do something, soon, or the next list will be far longer, and China will understand that it can pursue close relationships without upholding the democratic values of the West.

LMAO I like the idea of cancelling lemon project debts done by previous governments the type that are only there to swap money between their friends and leave the country further indebted to the hegemon. It would collapse the west overnight.

It's true. But also, the way it's taught and perceived in the Philippines is that it was Marcos's fault for starting that project in the first place, and then never turning it on. And then, every other president that came after gets a pass for never turning it on either, because it was built on a fault line, because it's now too old, because nuclear power is unsafe, etc. The US never gets blamed for having the Philippines build the thing in the first place, or keeping us on the hook for the bill. In the meantime, every summer* our power grid keeps redlining from all the air-conditioning that runs, due to a lack of power generation, which is mostly from coal-fired plants. It was the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001, passed under Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, that completed the privatization of the energy industry, and basically "prevents" the government from directly investing in construction of new power generation. Of course, this is also combined with Congress demanding that the EPIRA law be amended to prevent foreign ownership of the power generation industry... because 40% of our power grid is now owned by the State Grid Corporation of China. ___ * early last week, we were hitting the red-line alerts again, because global warming combined with El Niño this year means it was still hitting 33C in July, a month into the rainy season. This was followed by record downpours starting Wednesday going into Friday, which caused flash floods all over the country.
