>Ethnic minorites are exotic zoo animals in China what do you even consider an 'ethnic minority'? it surely can't be the cantonese, last time i checked they were the largest population in china and their dialect is the most spoken one after mandarin >genociding cantonese seriously what the fuck are you on about?
>taking control of foreign port because the host country i don't think there's any other example other than that sri lankan port and i'm pretty sure the chinks won't want a repeat of that, the port in question is a liability and the negative pr just isn't worth it
>It works enough so that you don't see the national press calling Xi a poopoo head the national press is not what people read for the most part only working people care about it the younger generation has their own news sources and xi is shat on constantly that said xi might be a joke, but chinks generally think he's the right man for the job in the face of an aggressive west world
>Nah, they don't, the chinks don't buckle at bad PR after the pr fallout from the port incident every single BRI project was re-evaluated for datelines and costs, all of them to the benefit of the loaning country go look it up, the chinks gave everyone rebates and massive discounts that said they're not idiots: they don't care about pr when it comes to things important to them

Why isn’t Assad making anymore advances and when can we expect more territorial changes?

>In 2015, Russian prosecutors confiscated books from a Jewish school affiliated with the Chabad Hasidic movement in Yekaterinburg following complaints that its students were being taught to hate non-Jews
>The Hui, the tibetan, even the cantonese. a bit of a tangent: i don't exactly like what they did in tibet but i get that it was out of necessity - a large part of their water security comes from their control of tibet but in exchange the tibetians are left mostly to their own designs, given massive benefits and subsidies, exempted from stuff like the one-child policy, etc. the same goes for the hui, uyghurs, and pretty much any minority that isn't already fucking rich - like the shanghainese for example in fact there's a lot of discontent from your average chink about how much easier minorities have it
also the cantonese people represent that largest population in china; they are by definition a majority
>I thought BRI itself is already sold with massive discounts in the first place? not really, chink infra is just very competitively priced, not discounted i heard a lot of BRI projects were done under misguided goals by their local governments this didn't matter to the chinks before - they like to operate under 'your country, your responsibility' - but seeing how they were blamed for what happened in sri lanka the chinks decided they needed to step in and oversee things more keep in mind BRI isn't a CCP controlled effort; most of it is private chink companies making deals under the BRI project without much oversight from the chink gov sri lanka changed a lot of that

>the same goes for the hui, uyghurs, and pretty much any minority that isn't already fucking rich - like the shanghainese for example Besides the point, either ways, they make such a small population compared to the population and they are unlike the minority-majority that is the spics in the US. >also the cantonese people represent that largest population in china; they are by definition a majority This is the misconception of the "han" classification, truthfully, I have a lot of doubt that northern chinks are actually han. >keep in mind BRI isn't a CCP controlled effort; most of it is private chink companies making deals under the BRI project without much oversight from the chink gov sri lanka changed a lot of that Oh please, you know full well all the big chink private companies have ties to the government, everyone's connected, somebody son or uncle.

also this matters a lot less than you think, in fact it is sometimes a liability to be family of a high ranking party member i have a friend whose father is pretty high up in the PLAN, does import export businesses around the world all of his businesses, cash flows, outward remittance are heavily scrutinzed by the party and he's been pulled in multiple times to explain discrepancies in accounting this sort of attention is never given to businesses of his size - it is 'vip treatment', in his own words

All of their actions are within the party's scope, any mistakes are dealt with, silently.

There's some genuine ukrainian vs russian hate, russians just can't leave ukrainian alone.
you seem to think the CCP is this all powerful, all controlling organization that no one escapes from sorry but that's not even remotely close - they're as incompetent as you'd expect from a massive governmental body
also if you don't believe me about BRI, go look up the corruption cases associated with the initiative i've been told there's a whole slew of chink millionaires getting sweaty due to the CCP shining a light on their activities.. gonna be a lot of disappearances over the next few months

Pretty sure more ukrainians were killed during the conflict than russians.
And russians literally invade them.

I don't mind them being punished, nobody does. It's just that we tired of hearing about Ukraine this, Ukraine that. If out government could just shut up but continue doing what they are doing (at this point it doesn't even matter what they want to do) it would be so much better.
>when your whole identity revolves around a fascist dictatorship kinda reminds me of someone... hmmm...
Also every influential """Ukrainian""" before "korenizaciya" did it's thing in USSR saw themselves as Russians or part of the Rus. It's only recently that hohols started to embarrass themselves so much that Russians want to separate from them.
So what's really going down in Sudan? Is it gonna be good ól military rule with a toothless civilian mask? Let's not forget that the of the TMC is literally a military war criminal who did the darfur genocide.
Busted! Syrian refugees try to sneak past airport guards by masquerading as Ukrainian volleyball team
Greek police have caught a group of migrants from Syria attempting to fool migration control by posing as a volleyball team from Ukraine.
Ten Syrian refugees were arrested at Athens International Airport over the weekend, police said. In an attempt to fool migration control, they all dressed in identical uniforms, brought a number of similar sports bags, and two volleyball balls.
They also had Ukrainian passports, which were listed as stolen or lost. The Syrians planned on flying to Zurich, Switzerland. From there they wanted to travel to a European Union country but police did not reveal which one.
Despite the elaborate disguise, they were intercepted and detained. The men, aged 20 to 25, are now waiting to be brought to the attorney general’s office.
those folk are not black like you. the fact that they are black is actually incidental.

Inside a home in Sabadell, officers found sulfuric acid, paraffin, aluminium powder, paint stripper and gasoline, as well as notes on how to use these ingredients to make bombs. There were also notes on the chemical components of Goma-2, a powerful industrial explosive that was regularly used by ETA in the 1980s and 1990s." The other, more tiresome, /sg/ when
Samuel Martin
Yeah right look at them pure subsaharans
Camden Reed
nope. they may 'look like' but many features are incidental and share no necessary relationship. e.g. wide cheekbones is common in different people of the far north, who have only an ancient genetic relationship. It's an adaption to cold that happens via selection pressures independently. Same with things like skin colour. In the history of humans skin colour is one of the things that has changed most often. again - independently within populations.
Anthony Williams
Wait does that mean Black people can get BLACKED?
Noah Lewis
depends on what 'black' means. there is 'political black' - which means anyone who is not white - including chinks and indians and anyone else who can claim at least a touch of the tar brush 'socio-economic black' - a person of any race culturally and socio economically indistinguishable from the larger black demographic. 'actually black' - a person of african sub-saharan origin, particularly including people of bantu origin and excluding largly somalians, some but not all ethiopians, eritireans and sudanese people and the khoisan. the people in the picture are papuans of some sort. they come from somewhere in indonesia. plenty denosovan ancestry, highest in the world i think, which typically no black africans do not have. A unique enough feature to draw a line between the two. if u can pick which definition of black to work with we can get an answer to your question.
Finally they turned on the heating. I don’t know how about Europeans, but for Russia, 17-18 C in the room is cold, I’m used to having 23-25 C in my house even in winter.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has announced the creation of a Syrian Constitutional Committee on Monday and also thanked Russia, Turkey and Iran for the work they’ve done to achieve that. "I am pleased to announce the agreement of the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic and the Syrian Negotiations Commission for a credible, balanced and inclusive Constitutional Committee that will be facilitated by the United Nations in Geneva. I welcome the progress made by the Government and the opposition. My Special Envoy facilitated the agreement in accordance with Security Council resolution 2254 and will convene the Constitutional Committee in the coming weeks," he told reporters.

Uruguay will withdraw from the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (commonly known as the Rio Treaty) if its signatories approve military action against Venezuela, Uruguayan Foreign Minister Rodolfo Nin Novoa stated in an interview with La Republica daily published on Monday. "We will oppose this mechanism, at least in its most radical form, as it would be considered direct intervention in the Venezuelan conflict," the minister said. "If the vote end ends in the expected result, we will denounce it and withdraw from the treaty," Nin Novoa said. He added that the Rio Treaty must not apply when "a group of states decides to invade another country that is not waging war."
