中國看中吉里巴斯坎頓島的廢棄美軍跑道,澳洲智庫注意到戰略動機:
“Kanton has been used by the U.S. for space and missile tracking operations and its near 2-kilometre (6,562 ft) runway hosted long-range bombers during the war.
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) said in a paper last year that Chinese facilities on Kiribati would be positioned across major sea lanes between North America, and Australia and New Zealand.”

「夢想是自己發起的挑戰。現在的日本都在求穩,連學校教育也傾向讓孩子放棄挑戰。但是,給你各種建議的人,說到底是和你不同的人,也未必是你追求的榜樣;況且他們當中,很多人與你沒有共同的體驗。所以如果你有理想,就不要害怕,大膽往前邁一步!與其一次都不試日後暗自後悔,不如去試一次,哪怕失敗也沒關係。我登聖母峰,還不是三次都鎩羽而歸了嘛(笑)?單人無氧成功登頂聖母峰的人,迄今為止只有1980年的萊因霍爾德‧梅斯納一個人。而我挑戰過的西南岩壁至今還無人成功。所以,我也知道這件事沒那麼簡單。不過只要我自己不放棄,不管失敗多少次,我都會繼續向理想發起挑戰。只要你堅持挑戰,直到成功或心悅誠服地認輸,失敗才能體現出它的價值。」
「這次G7會議首次公開提到台灣且是以支持方式行之,提到有關世界衛生組織以及世界衛生大會的參與,以及台海維和等部分。雖然G7成員國過去曾多次單獨發言支持台灣有意義參與世界衛生組織,以及成為世界衛生大會的觀察員(除了義大利以外),但具體成為七大工業國會議公報的一部分,意義更是不容小覷。
更值得注意的是,七大工業國公報將台海的和平與穩定,以及鼓勵以和平方式解決兩岸爭議包括其內,不僅顯示台海議題正式進入七大工業國的關注議程中,也代表台海維持現狀也不再是美國單方面承擔,七大工業國(甚至包括歐盟本身,因歐盟外長是會議參與者而不是受邀列席),也成為這個議題顯著的「利害相關者」。維持台海和平與穩定,要求以和平方式解決兩岸爭議的呼籲,已經多邊化,拖出傳統台海維和的美中台三角架構了。
值得注意的是,七大工業國外長會議公報有關台海和平與穩定的文字,就是四月十六日美日峰會聲明有關台灣部分的原封不動拷貝,這個發展不禁令人聯想,是否美日峰會與七大工業國外長會議後,類似對台海的關注還會在其他多邊,或是非台灣參與的雙邊場合出現,例如在美澳會談,甚至是北約峰會等場合出現。如果真的出現這樣的發展,除了顯示美國有意使台海議題多邊化外,也是讓中國知道其對台灣議題必須有所節制,因為現在這個議題已經不是美中的雙邊爭議,而是中國與全世界多個主要民主大國的集體矛盾了。」
解密文件暗示了沖繩曾經是第一島鏈的隱形核引信:
「該文件是管理運營嘉手納基地(沖繩縣嘉手納町等)的美國空軍第313航空師的年度報告,琉球大學名譽教授我部政明獲取並保存了1955~1964年的部分。其中包括專門負責組裝和搬入搬出核武器的第12航空儲藏中隊及管理核武器和彈藥的第7戰術儲藏中隊的相關記錄。兩個中隊均部署在該基地。
根據1957年的報告,第12航空儲藏中隊實施了從飛抵嘉手納基地的轟炸機中運出核炸彈並在檢查後裝入機內等訓練。僅當年上半年就確認到約150次使用實彈的訓練。1957年3月,美軍假想以該基地作為核戰爭時的出擊據點,實施了大規模演習“白馬”。」
“That would be a loss for global health and an embarrassment for the Biden Administration. Americans should question whose interests are served by their colossal financial contributions to the WHO.”

老實說,台灣能從一開始前年十二月的武漢病毒、去年十月的英國變種病毒、十二月的南非變種病毒、今年一月的巴西變種病毒、三月的印度變種病毒,一路守到現在才出現二級防疫階段的社區感染,已經很厲害了。

“They called me in the morning and told me to meet him at the hospital in Monywa. I thought it was just for a broken arm or something … But when I arrived here, he was at the morgue and his internal organs were taken out,”
伊斯蘭世界的見死不救.
[ In a recent article, Haisam Hassanein of The Washington Institute wrote that Xinjiang region “has been of strategic importance to China because it served as a bridge to Central Asia and the Middle East.” After 2011, however, “China began to worry that the unrest sweeping the Arab world could have ripple effects in Muslim areas of northwest Xinjiang, encouraging the province’s existing separatist movements to push harder for independence.”
If successful, China’s influence campaign will not only worsen the conditions for the Uyghurs of Xinjiang; it will also produce two diametrically opposed views of the situation there, divided largely along geopolitical lines. As it stands, there is the possibility that other Muslim countries will follow the Pakistani and Palestinian line, diluting international condemnation and allowing Chinese wrongdoings in Xinjiang to continue. ]

“Instead of a stowaway case, if it were a case of Chinese communists sending infiltrators for military actions, it would have been an extremely serious problem,” Tsai said. “Both the coast guard and the navy must review this prudently and strengthen the monitoring and surveillance mechanism.”

七普都不給整理好的表格, WSJ也只能講已知的.
"The data showed a sharp rise in the percentage of Chinese aged 60 and above, to 18.7% of the population from 13.3% in 2010.
The portion of Chinese aged between 15 and 59 stood at 63.35% in 2020, down from 70.1% in 2010."
"A research report released late last year by the China Population and Development Research Center, a government think tank, predicted that China’s population will peak in 2027 at 1.417 billion. That is three years earlier than what Beijing had predicted in 2017. It isn’t clear whether further revisions will be necessary after the census results."
中國企圖竊取俄羅斯潛艇設計:
"The individuals who launched the cyber attack on Rubin are not identified in this report, which only says that the "previously undocumented backdoor [was] assessed to have been developed by a threat actor likely operating on behalf of Chinese state-sponsored interests. Beyond that, the RoyalRoad RTF "weaponizer" is a tool that has become very closely associated with Chinese government-linked entities, known by names like Goblin Panda, Rancor Group, TA428, Tick, and Tonto Team, according to Cybereason and other sources.

還真的有法庭文件欸.
"The figure of 'Kingpin' resembles a man in a suit carrying a staff. Nothing in the storyline indicates that Kingpin possesses superhuman powers. Yet, Kingpin is known to have exceedingly great strength (however 'naturally' achieved) and the figure itself has a large and stout body with a disproportionately small head and disproportionately large hands. As it is, the figure is designed to communicate the legendary and freakish nature of the character. Even though 'dolls' can be caricatures of human beings, the court is of the opinion that the freakishness of the figure’s appearance coupled with the fabled 'Spider-Man' storyline to which it belongs does not warrant a finding that the figure represents a human being."
這官司聽起來好妙...
"1993年,國際貿易律師Sherry Singer和Indie Singh在一本聯邦關稅分類書中找到了一個有趣的規定,如果一個玩偶代表人類,比如芭比娃娃,就會歸類為娃娃(doll),如果玩偶代表著非人生物,例如機器人、怪物、惡魔等則會歸類為玩具(toy)。
一般來說,這只會是一個報關申請上的技術問題,但是兩位律師意外的發現,娃娃的稅率是12%而玩具的只有6.8%,整整少了快一倍,帶著這個發現,他們找到了當時專門製作漫威授權玩具的公司-Toy Biz,並在簡單的商議之後,兩名律師帶著裝滿漫威公仔的手提袋前往美國海關與邊境保護局的總部,試圖說服政府X戰警系列的角色並非人類。
當然,美國海關並沒有接受他們的說法,且不說藍魔鬼這種全身藍皮膚的可能尚有爭議,X教授從外觀看起來就是一個坐輪椅的普通老人好嗎!說服失敗的兩名律師便直接向美國國際貿易法院申請裁決,期待法院能夠回答一個難解的哲學問題:「什麼是人? 」"

"瘟疫使人絕望,強大無比的暴政也使人絕望。絕望是不幸,但卡繆說:「習慣於絕望比絕望本身更加不幸。」習慣,就是徹底放棄,而不習慣,就是不放棄,就是繼續抗爭。儘管我們對於抗爭可以實現真正自由已經絕望,但只有在抗爭過程中我們才有自由。因此不能習慣於絕望。"

"總部設於喬治亞州的Colonial Pipeline是美國最大的精煉油管道系統,每天運送多達1億加侖的汽油、柴油、航空媒油與家用燃料油,占美國東岸燃油供應的45%,也負責美國7個機場的燃油供應。"
"由美國運輸部(DoT)所發布的緊急狀態,將暫時允許美國燃油業者透過一般道路運送燃油至18個州,以緩解因Colonial Pipeline意外而造成的燃油短缺問題。"
