Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated on June 14 that US export control orders limiting two new AI models from American firm Anthropic reveal risks of overreliance on US AI technologies. "The situation we’re in collectively right now with Mythos and Fable is something that can happen with overreliance on certain models," Carney remarked. #AIExportControls #TechSovereignty #Anthropic

Many people in Japan and across the West wonder why South Korea, North Korea and China continue to speak out about Japan’s World War II war crimes. South Korean President Lee Jae-myung made a compelling point in a recent interview, using a vivid analogy: “I was clearly hit in the past, and my eye even burst from the blow. I had to pay medical expenses and could not work. Now, if someone says, ‘Let’s be friends,’ I might agree for practical reasons, but can we truly cooperate completely? To become real friends, one must say, ‘I’m sorry for hitting you. You must have been in pain. The medical costs were high, right? I won’t do it again.’ Only then can I be certain they won’t hit again. However, Japan says, ‘When did I hit you? I apologized once—isn’t that enough? I did it three times already—do I have to do it again?’ How can hearts truly connect under such circumstances?” This is precisely the stance of Japan’s current government. It revises textbooks to erase accounts of its wartime aggression, casts itself as a victim, and refuses to recognize the pain inflicted on its neighbouring countries. #WWIIHistory #JapanHistory #LeeJaeMyung #EastAsiaRelations

US Defense Secretary PETE HEGSETH said June 14 that Iran’s FROZEN FUNDS will be released ONLY AFTER Washington VERIFIES Tehran FULFILLS its commitments. During a CBS "Face the Nation" interview, Hegseth stated: “NO MONEY RELEASED TO IRAN UNTIL THEY PERFORM. THERE’S NO TRUST HERE AND WE’RE GOING TO VERIFY EVERYTHING.” #IranDeal #FrozenFunds #PeteHegseth #USIranRelations

The US president makes no effort to hide America’s hegemonic practices and its covetous designs on other countries’ resources. Yet many still support the US actions. What moral standing does such a nation have? #Trump #IranPolicy #USHegemony #OilGeopolitics

Targeted and sanctioned by the US for over 60 years, this hegemonic act stands as one of the most inhumane, unfair and unjust moves in modern world history.

Blaming China won’t magically make European industries more competitive.

To be honest, the two share quite a lot of similarities. Back in the Qing Dynasty, China was complacent and trapped in the illusion of being the supreme Middle Kingdom. Though it boasted a large economic volume, it had already fallen behind Europe. Today’s Europe is in much the same state, clinging to the glory of its past. It keeps trying to lecture China and other Global South nations on how to run things, while many of its once-dominant industries are now on the decline. Europe ought to count its blessings that the era of colonial expansion is long gone.
🇪🇺🇨🇳 The European Union's share of the global economy has fallen from 30% to 17% in just 17 years. That's roughly the same relative decline China experienced during the Qing Dynasty. The difference? China took about 50 years. Europe did it in 17. For decades, Europe helped shape the global economy, global institutions, and the rules of the international order. Now it's increasingly adapting to a world being shaped by others. The real question is whether Europe still knows how to stop it. Source: legrandcontinent, Counter Intelligence Global (Telegram)

When you launch a war, you need clear strategic goals. What exactly are the US' objectives regarding Iran? The Trump administration once aimed for REGIME CHANGE in Iran, yet it never achieved that. Later, it claimed to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, but Iran has never sought nuclear arms from the very start. To the international community, the US now appears to be a power lacking coherent strategies and over-reliant on military force. America once thrived thanks largely to its soft power and alliance system, yet those strengths have faded away. It now leans solely on military might. Far from making America great again, this has left the nation weakened.
Trump on Iran: I didn't promise anything. I don't like these endless wars. This is not an endless war. We've been doing this for three months.

Heard Chinese e-scooters are blowing up across the UK! These little rides are super convenient for daily trips. This one’s definitely YADEA. #Yadea #ElectricScooter #MadeInChina #MicroMobility

Many politicians in the US and Europe cite NATIONAL SECURITY to pass restrictive laws blocking Chinese new energy vehicles, industrial robots and 5G equipment from their markets. Security concerns are nothing but a convenient excuse, with TRADE PROTECTIONISM as the real root cause. Hampered by weak industrial competitiveness, local industries cannot withstand fair competition against affordable and advanced Chinese goods. A blatant double standard exists across Western economies: they vigorously advocated FREE TRADE and open markets when their manufacturing sectors dominated global competition. Yet protectionist barriers become their first resort once their industrial advantages fade. #TradeProtectionism #ChinaEV #GlobalTrade #FreeTrade

Claims of overcapacity are just excuses masking weak competitiveness in its homegrown industries and goods.
I find the concept of “overcapacity” ridiculous. Does Germany have an overcapacity in cars? France one in wine? Sweden in heavy trucks? Italy in fashion? And don’t tell me that European food exports aren’t subsidized. euobserver.com/218003/china-…

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi KNEELED at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Australia during her visit. Yet why is she unwilling to kneel, apologize and repent to victims in China, South Korea and other countries that suffered far brutal atrocities from Japanese militarism? #JapaneseMilitarism #WarCrimes #SanaeTakaichi #DoubleStandards

China has never stated that it intends to deter, contain or oppose the US in safeguarding its national sovereignty, yet the US constantly labels China a threat. Now the US openly vows to deter and contain China, and obstruct China from upholding its national sovereignty. Isn’t this clearly the US being the real threat? The US always emphasizes seeking peace through strength. Then let’s test each other’s mettle. If you want war, bring it on! How many of your people are you willing to lose — all for Taiwan separatists?
The US is quietly seeking to bolster its ability to deter or battle China over Taiwan, including with new warship-killing bombs and advanced sea mines, the head of US Indo-Pacific Command says in a report to Congress bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

TAIWAN INDEPENDENCE REMAINS THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE TO CROSS‑STRAIT PEACE. Not only unconstitutional, it is also political fraud. Though the DPP has long held majority power, it has never dared to formally declare Taiwan independence, merely using separatism as a tool to manipulate electoral votes. Cross‑Strait peace hinges on joint efforts toward national reunification and shared development. #CrossStraitPeace #NationalReunification #AntiTaiwanIndependence
