"This is not the outcome we sought to prevent," said #US State Department spokesman on the current #Ukraine war. Just a slip of the tongue?
Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard might have told the truth: "President Biden could end this crisis and prevent a war with #Russia by doing something very simple, guaranteeing that #Ukraine will not become a member of #NATO, ···
because if #Ukraine became a member of NATO, that would put US and NATO troops directly on the doorstep of Russia, which as Putin has laid out, would undermine their national security interest. Why doesn't President Biden and NATO leaders actually just say that and guarantee it?
Why don't they prevent this war from happening? ... They actually want #Russia to invade #Ukraine ... Because number one it gives the Biden administration a clear excuse to go and levy draconian sanctions which are modern-day siege against Russia and the Russian people."
"And number two the military industrial complex is the one that benefits from this ... It locks in this new #ColdWar and starts to make a ton of more money ..."

China cannot be separated from the world in achieving development, and the world also needs China for #prosperity.
Now, China is speeding up efforts to foster a new development paradigm with #domesticcirculation as the mainstay and domestic and international circulations reinforcing each other.
China will remain committed to a #winwinstrategy of opening-up. It will seek #development impetus from the world and contribute more to the world with its own development.
China has taken an active part in global environmental governance. China takes seriously the obligations under environment-related treaties, including on #ClimateChange and #Biodiversity.
We have hit, ahead of schedule, the targets set for 2020 for tackling #ClimateChange and establishing protected areas.
China will continue to make extraordinary efforts to scale up its nationally determined contributions.
Take a close look at this #CPC badge: #为人民服务
--Serve the people.
This is the fundamental goal & mission of the CPC. It explains why China and the US acted so differently in response to #COVID19.
We don't pursue "China first". We do pursue better lives for the Chinese people and people across the world. What will prevail in the end is #justice and common good.
China is on the side of humanity's shared interest, while the #US politicians only serve the ruling class and the interest groups behind. As #Stiglitz put it, "of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%" .
It shows China's willingness to work with other countries to enable global trade in services to thrive and the world economy to recover at an early date. We also hope people across the world can enjoy breakthroughs in services trade and share in the benefits of social progress.
China will support #Beijing in setting up a pilot #FTZ for technological innovation, opening-up of the services sector and digital economy. It will serve opening-up for the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and reform and opening-up at a higher level.
