Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology. China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

我是本文的译者，恳请大家关注此事，我想这将是极其重要的人权事件，敏辛是没有任何中国背景的缅甸裔美籍学者！有很多这样的东南亚学者在中国访问交流，如果此事美国政府不积极介入，不妥善解决将影响整个东亚研究界的未来发展！

Thanks, Elon. And thanks to you too, Gavin.

Incredible for China to arrest an American citizen - who’d been invited to China by a Chinese university - on spurious charges weeks after Trump visited Beijing. US needs to treat this as a show-stopping problem. Business as usual would signal extraordinary weakness.

Elon has created thousands of millionaires. The only millionaire you’ve created is yourself. Elon is a wealth creator. You are a looter. While your title is POLITICIAN, your real profession should be called THIEF.

Trump’s Trafalgar Moment Trump’s Iran deal is best understood through the lens of Trafalgar: a decisive victory that does not end every conflict, but closes the enemy’s best route to success and reshapes the strategic landscape. By reopening the Strait of Hormuz, blocking Tehran’s path to a nuclear weapon, and cutting off the financial backing of global terrorism, Trump has broken Iran’s core leverage without a wider ground war. The closure and reopening of the Strait has changed the rules of the “great game” in energy security, putting the United States back at the center of global energy markets. Investors should expect critics to pan the agreement as insufficiently decisive, but they should ignore the pedantry: the rules of the game have changed and the forces for complete victory have been set in motion. Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar did not end every battle, but it closed off Napoleon’s best route to victory and set the course of the war. The end of the Cold War did not abolish conflict, but it delivered a peace dividend that reshaped economies. Trump’s deal with Iran stands in that line, a decisive strategic win with far-reaching economic and market consequences. The critics were not satisfied when Maduro fell, and they will not be satisfied now, but history will be, and capital will be too, because a peace dividend akin to the one that followed the end of the Cold War will not be ignored.

China’s gaokao chart may be one of the clearest pictures of China’s rise - and decline in confidence. The gap between China’s college-entrance-exam-age population and actual applicants collapsed from 18.9 million in 2000 to just 2.42 million in 2024. In the boom years, families believed education was the ladder to upward mobility, so more students stayed in the game. That was the optimism of the WTO era. But now the trend is turning. The gap is projected to rise again to 3.18 million in 2026. That matters. It suggests more young people are questioning whether the gaokao, and the credential treadmill behind it, still leads anywhere. When faith in education weakens, it usually means faith in the economy is weakening too. This is not just an education story. It’s a confidence story.

Well there it is! Cyrus Carmack-Belton wasn’t murdered over a bottle of water. He was shot after pointing a gun at the son of an Asian store owner, Rick Chow. Stop AAPI Hate just published a statement condemning the acquittal of Mr. Chow, painting him as the real villain while demanding “cross-racial solidarity.” It’s hilarious how these “Asian advocacy” frauds treat a white person saying something rude as a national emergency requiring marches and federal task forces. But when a Black teen pulls a gun on your kid? Apparently defending yourself is “anti-Black oppression.” Stop AAPI Hate is an astroturfed Marxist outfit pretending to fight Asian discrimination. They claimed Asian hate crimes were the result of Trump’s rhetoric on the China virus. They claimed white supremacy was why Asians were getting targeted during covid when everybody with eyes saw that it was black urban criminals. They never cared about affirmative action, which is actual systematic Asian discrimination. And now they are mad about Rick Chow’s acquittal.. In other words, Stop AAPI Hate is fake and gay

Another Indian doctor who reused needles on patients. Dr. Meera Sachdeva is one of Mississippi's most infamous historical medical fraud cases, Dr. Sachdeva, a naturalized citizen from India, was sentenced to 20 years in prison. As the owner of the Rose Cancer Center, she defrauded Medicare of millions by administering DILUTED chemotherapy drugs to patients, REUSING single-use needles, and billing for treatments that were never provided. Absolutely disgusting…

在海外看医生，如果你有得选的话， 首选一定要是华裔越南裔的医生，可以很负责任地告诉你们，因为反向歧视是绝对存在的，华裔越南裔能够做到医生的，一定是学习能力、智商、情商、忍耐力、工作能力各种接近完美程度的那种， 其次是白人医生 因为他们没有优惠政策，也要靠真本事拿到医生的资格 其他族的，就自求多福吧，水平就参差不齐了，就像掷骰子一样，碰到一些靠dei肤色政策进出医学院的或者像下文说的靠诈骗的羔羊医生，心脏瓣膜装反了，不小心给你误诊了，这些都只是概率问题而已。 还有就是，在X推上号称自己是国外当医生的，99.999%是假的。剩下的0.001%是擦边的，就是参与了某个课题或研究了几天本草纲目，就说自己是学医的，就偷换概念，让别人误以为自己是医生。 为什么呢，因为只要稍微有点了解国外真实的医生人生，就知道了，他们根本就没有时间泡到X上面，他们不是在工作印钞中，就是在学习进修中，什么都不缺，缺的就是时间。

Dr. Sheetal Kanar Kumar, an obstetrician and gynecologist who operated Advanced Healthcare for Women in Stuart, Florida, was arrested and indicted on 26 counts of healthcare fraud. Between 2014 and 2017, she submitted approximately $926,000 in fraudulent claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers for treatments and services—specifically related to incontinence—that were never actually provided. A federal jury convicted her of 23 counts of healthcare fraud. She was subsequently sentenced to prison and ordered to pay restitution.

Sens. Sanders and Warren celebrated Graham Platner's win last night. It appears that the rape-mocking, sex-texting, Hamas-praising, Nazi-tattooed, veteran-abusing, self-proclaimed communist is the right man to bring them back into power... jonathanturley.org/2026/06/0…

If you want somebody who stabbed an innocent kid in the heart to get away with murder just because they have the same race as you, you're not doing anything for the black community. It just means that something is deeply wrong with your soul.

This is so devastating. Imagine being a black parent tonight. How do you protect your children? If they go out and stab just one person, they might go to prison. It’s like a black man in America can’t even murder anyone anymore. Unimaginable. Jim Crow all over again. I’m furious.

What's most shocking is members of Congress pretending like they had no idea that it's happening.

Germany was the world’s most powerful industrial machine. Then it decided affordable energy was optional, regulation was a growth strategy, and entrepreneurialism was bad. History may record Germany’s industrial decline as the most expensive act of self-sabotage ever committed.

Dr. Dipak Desai (Las Vegas, Nevada): This case is widely cited as one of the largest medical malpractice and public health scandals in U.S. history As many as 40,000 people may have been infected with the deadly hepatitis C virus or HIV from a Las Vegas clinic, owned by Dr Dipak Desai, an Indian American. Dr. Desai, a gastroenterologist who ran the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada, was heavily sued and criminally prosecuted after a 2008 health department investigation revealed his clinics routinely reused syringes and single-use vials of propofol. This dangerous practice led to a massive outbreak of Hepatitis C among patients. In 2013, Desai was convicted of second-degree murder, criminal neglect of patients, and fraud. He was sentenced to life in prison, where he later died.

U.S. v. Dr. Sanjeev Kumar (Memphis, TN) A federal jury convicted gynecologic oncologist Dr. Sanjeev Kumar of 40 Counts of healthcare fraud and 18 counts of medical device adulteration. Investigators revealed that between 2019 and 2024, Dr. Kumar subjected over 5,500 female patients to invasive hysteroscopies with biopsies that were medically unnecessary. To increase clinic profits, he routinely REUSED single-use medical devices on patients without proper sanitization, risking severe cross-contamination.

This is the Indian doctor who implanted a heart valve upside down in a child, and his education was completed in India. In India, a person only needs to earn 40% to pass, which is basically an ‘F’ in the U.S. Medical Degree: M.B.B.S., 1999, Madras Medical College, Chennai, India. Internship: General Surgery, Government General Hospital, Chennai, India (2001).

这位在一名儿童体内将心脏瓣膜植入反了位的印度医生，他的教育是在印度完成的。在印度，一个人只需获得40%的分数就能通过，这在美国基本上相当于“F”。 医学学位：M.B.B.S.，1999年，印度金奈马德拉斯医学院。 实习：普通外科，印度金奈政府总医院（2001年）。 看到印度医生，还是回家自己治疗，保命
