According to the independent Kiel Institute in Germany🇩🇪, the actual value of the aid delivered by the US🇺🇸 to Ukraine🇺🇦 is $114.2 billion, and with $50 billion more is only promised.

The remainder is in humanitarian aid and the lion's share, military aid - the money was paid to US companies.

The US military stands no chance against the PLA in a war over Taiwan.
If the US govt can't even mobilize against a forest fire in the very heart of their empire, what makes you think that they can mobilize against the PLA in Taiwan on the other side of the Pacific Ocean? Image In China, every natural disaster is met with an immediate and robust response.
The PLA mobilized 7,800 soldiers for the relief of the Tibet earthquake within the first 10 hours.

Now, as Trump threatens tariffs on Chinese products, the US risks pushing China even closer to these Global South emerging markets. Image

In China, if you want to express your approval of what someone says, please don't use this Emoji - 🙂, it often implies boredom, sarcasm, or passive-aggressiveness.
You can use 😂, or 😁.
(Comes from today's experience of communicating with a foreign colleague of mine.) BTW in Chinese internet slang, 666 is shorthand for "awesome" or "great job" - NOT a reference to something evil.
It comes from "溜溜溜" (liù liù liù), which sounds like "666" and means "smooth" or "cool." Image

US automotive design expert: Harvard and McKinsey told me to go to China, so I did, and now they're calling me a traitor? No one even listens to my classes in the US, but in China, I have 2,500 people in one class who are eager to hear what I have to say.

China has long been portrayed by western media as a bully in the South China Sea.
Why, at the recently concluded ASEAN summit, did none of the nine ASEAN countries support the Philippines' claims? Why they are unwilling to condemn China?
Because this is the real South China Sea: Image Almost all coastal countries have declared their own sphere of influence in this area, and these broken lines are intertwined with each other, and everyone claims that they have legitimate reasons.

A Taiwanese media said that in a video news in 2018, President Xi wore an "expensive" "famous watch".
In fact this "Omega Constellation '95 Ref. 1512" sells for only $1,300.
And First Lady Peng Liyuan wears the same "love watch".
Perhaps, a gift from their daughter.
Expensive?🤔

The watch worn by US President Joe Biden is a Rolex Datejust, which is priced at about $13,000, 10 times as much as President Xi Jinping's Omega watch.😅 Image

The Korean War was probably the most important war to China in the recent history, even more important than the civil war or the anti-Japanese war.
(1/X) Image Because winning the civil war simply showed that the CPC was the stronger faction within China.
Winning against the Japanese showed that the CPC can win a defensive war of attrition, especially when the enemy is fighting multiple fronts.
