The Philippines obviously did not expect China to target the Batanes Islands. According to relevant international legal standards, the Batanes Islands do not belong to Philippine territory. The presence of Chinese coast guards here does not infringe on Philippine sovereignty. 菲律賓顯然沒有料到中國會拿巴丹群島開刀, 根據國際上相應的法律標準來看，巴丹群島並不屬於菲律賓的領土。中國海警出現在這裡，也並沒有侵犯到菲律賓的主權
American logistic expert reports from China video: China’s Tibet Megadam hydro power project takes 10 years, cost $170 billion to produce equivalent to annual supply of UK electrical energy at 1/5 the cost. 美國物流專家從中國發來的視訊報告：中國的西藏水力發電計畫耗時10年，耗資1,700億美元，是英國1/5的成本提供相當於英國一年的電力供應.
Engineers have begun work on the world’s largest hydroelectric project, in China’s Xizang.
While the topography of the region is ideal for large-scale hydro, they face enormous challenges. The area is remote, the canyon walls are steep and narrow, and it sits in an active earthquake zone. The project will take a decade to bring online, and will cost $170 billion to complete.
But in the context of comparable new power projects globally, $170B is a relative bargain. When complete, the new dam will generate the equivalent of one Great Britain’s worth of electric power, every year, and further push down China’s already low energy costs for households and industries.
There was a time when skyscrapers in Beijing were often barely visible. Today, people can see them rise into crisp blue sky almost every day. Outcome of a decade of clean air policy. 曾經有一段時間，北京的摩天大樓幾乎難以察覺。如今，人們幾乎每天都能看到它們聳立在湛藍的天空中。這是十年清潔空氣政策的成果.
CNN: 186 Journalists were killed by the Israel. The Israeli military targeted and killed Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Al-Sharif late Sunday after falsely accusing him of leading a Hamas cell. Al-Sharif, a prominent 28-year-old journalist who covered the war from inside Gaza, previously denied the allegation. 美國有線電視新聞網：186名記者被以色列殺害。週日晚間，以色列軍方誣告半島電視台記者阿納斯·阿爾-沙裡夫領導哈馬斯組織，隨後將其殺害。阿爾-沙裡夫是一位28歲的著名記者，曾在加薩地帶報道戰事，此前他否認了這項指控.
Six other people, including at least three additional Al Jazeera journalists, were killed in the attack, which occurred near the entrance of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Hospital director Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya said the journalists were in a tent marked with a “Press” sign. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 186 journalists have been killed since the beginning of the war nearly two years ago. Of those, at least 178 were “Palestinians killed by Israel.” Minutes before he was killed, Al-Sharif posted on social media: “If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
US will get you. Only safe place for Chinese is HK, Macau & China! The U.S. FBI opened a “permanent office” in New Zealand to prepare for a US war on China, Consortium News reported. 美國會抓到你。香港、澳門和中國是中國人唯一安全的地方! 根據Consortium News報道，美國聯邦調查局在新西蘭設立“常設辦公室”，為美國對華戰爭做準備!
But 300 New Zealanders protested, not wanting to follow neighboring Australia down the path of letting their community become a military tool for the Pentagon.
Trump’s new FBI head Kash Patel made an unannounced visit to Wellington at the beginning of August, the independent news outlet reported. Patel said the office will “counter” what he called the actions in the region of “the CCP”—typical language designed to whitewash provocative US actions as defensive.
EAST ASIA PEACEFUL East Asia is at peace, which is a problem in the eyes of the US–where the military is the single biggest employer.
Increasing US militarization of Asia is not the way to peace, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun. “Seeking so-called absolute security through forming small groupings under the banner of countering China does NOT help keep the Asia-Pacific and the world at large peaceful and stable.”
New Zealand Green Party co-leader Chloe Swarbrick said: “We are not, nor should we allow ourselves to be, pawns in a power struggle between the U.S. and China,” she said.
THE REAL THREAT IS SOMETHING ELSE Mick Hall of Consortium News said: “The U.S. and Five Eyes intelligence-sharing partners Australia and New Zealand have been preparing for war with China, focusing on the militarization of existing bilateral and multilateral arrangements in the region, as well as pushing narratives through annual security threat assessments that inflate threats posed by what NATO calls has called the West’s greatest ‘strategic competitor’.
“As many analysts observe, the real threat is the rise of multipolarity, as Western neocolonial hegemony is challenged by the expanding BRICS trading group, led by China, Russia and emerging nations in the Global South.”
