The US is increasing it's primary energy production from fossil fuel sources (by 40% since 2010) and they're decreasing total emissions? Sure...

Wok, vegetable cleaver, bidet. The world is your oyster.

Literally the US Army has published videos that claim they were involved in the Tiananmen protests.

It's public on Lemmy. I get the vibe OP didn't know lol...

Dude's never been called yellow and it shows. Fuck off.

Not sure why $oro$ is marked as racism when it specifically refers to one person and has "nothing to do" with that person's race.

Really makes you think.

Two party state baby

By the winter of 1941, Barbarossa had failed. By the time the Western Front was opened in 1944, Army Group South had collapsed, Army Group North was failing, and Army Group Center was in the process of being encircled. Germany had lost, it was just a question of when. In the meantime, the entire North African campaign cost the Germans less resources than the Dnieper-Carpathian Offensive.

Friendly reminder that prior to Pearl Harbour, the US was sponsoring Japan's war crimes in China. The US made up the bulk of Japan's iron, copper, oil, steel, and wheat supply... Essentials for industrializing and waging war. Even with this massive economic power backing them, Japan had been fought to a standstill by 1940. By 1944, the Nationalists were more concerned with containing the Communists than they were with containing the Japanese.

In the case of both Germany and Japan, powerhouses at the peak of their power were ground down to a stalemate against a rapidly industrializing nation.

Have you picked up a history book? Taiwan literally still claims mainland China and the South China Sea as ROC territory. Maybe read Taiwan's Constitution instead of the American media interpretation of it? It's not my fault that you seem happier to spread ideology with American interpretations than deal with actual facts.

Encroaching on Taiwan's sovereignty by flying in international airspace over international waters?

And yet, under the KMT government relations were normalizing. In the past, mainland China had extremely positive rhetoric towards Taiwan (and Taiwan towards mainland China). Even today, trade grows and cultural coupling grows.

Frankly, claiming that China violates Taiwan's airspace shows a gross misunderstanding of international aviation law. American FONOPs in the area since 2016 have broken the status quo that the Chinese and Taiwanese governments were using to split the strait: if the strait is international waters outside of the 12km limit, then the air above it is international airspace by definition.

Oddly enough, that timeline also coincides with Taiwan's government flipping from KMT rule to DPP rule.

China's... not so wrong with this one. Under the previous KMT government, Taiwan-China relations were normalizing (not to the degree of reunification, but to the degree that conflict wasn't really on the horizon anymore because of the economic harm it would cause). The DPP has taken a strongly anti-China stance and the result has been escalating tensions... All while bilateral trade across the strait continues to grow.
