#China orders school books be destroyed and reprinted with 'thoughts of hero #XiJinping' - Mao 2.0

This is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in 1933 that launched its own infamous bonfire of books labelled “Jewish” or “un-German,” or deemed to be against the Nazi Party.

In pivoting to #China, East Timor may have given
#ASEAN one more reason to exclude it - To join Asean, it needs to improve its economy, but, in improving its economy with China’s help, it may jeopardize its chances of joining Asean scmp.com/week-asia/geop…
Observers warn that in pivoting to China, East Timor may have given the bloc one more reason to exclude it. Previously, doubters in Asean – most vocally, Singapore – have suggested the country’s struggles with its economy and infrastructure would leave it at best unable.......
