Mhmm a top secret attack on a school…
On a Saturday? During Shabbat?

Usually people would consider within a few degrees (1? 2? Certainly less than 5) to be an acceptable margin, but the pole itself is a well-defined point along the axis of rotation.
This is what happens when your incentive structure doesn’t reward actual proper journalism.
Might as well have quoted my own asshole
American media is legitimately just extremely unreliable. British, Chinese, Russian, French, German, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian sources all got the detail that the recent Indian moon mission landed near the South Pole, but most American media picked up that they had somehow landed on the South Pole and put that in their titles.
They were 21 degrees of latitude off, for reference.
Satellites have some degree of mobility and space junk follows trajectories that can be computed basically infinitely into the future.
Except you really are LMAO
Where are you from? Genuinely curious which part of China you’re from.
Space junk is highly deterministic, though. No atmosphere to fuck with.
At least someof us here know China from own experience, have worked for Chinese companies, lived in the country.
Oh hey, are you describing me? I’ll admit I’ve mostly lived in tier 1/1.5 cities, so my experience isn’t exactly standard. I’ll also gladly admit that top Chinese companies have worse culture than top American ones in web development. Where are you from?
You do understand that you can help someone without wanting to befriend them… Right?
How is any of this comparable to Nazi Germany? Violation of reproductive rights is literally CPC policy and was used on the Han majority for decades. Forced sterilization, forced abortion, all were used for enforcement of population control policy. You’re not criticizing the CPC’s treatment of Uyghurs, you’re criticizing the CPC’s policies in general. Conflating that with Nazi genocide is rather disingenuous, especially given that people haven’t been killed en masse (far from it).
Second, Chinese extremism is pretty well-defiined: actions supportive of those involved in the 1992 bus bombings, 1997 bus bombings, the attempted airplane hijacking in 2008, the truck attack in 2008, the taxi attack in 2008, the stabbing attack in 2008, the bombing in 2010, the police station storming in 2011, the truck hijacking in 2011… Do I need to go on? Pretending that terrorism wasn’t a problem in Xinjiang in the past decade or two is simply wrong, and pretending that China’s policies haven’t basically eradicated domestic terrorism would also be wrong.
So… Never?
Wonderful how people who don’t know shit about a country seem to be the most confident talking about it.
Budget airlines should start charging for backpacks.
It’s the Americanization of Europe happening before your eyes
Expansionism to… a bunch of uninhabited holes in the ground? Oh no, the horror.
Nevermind that I’m fairly sure that under the recognized methods of acquiring sovereignty, China owns the Paracels through either effective occupation or conquest during the Vietnam War.
So… You have no useful sources? Good argument, bravo.
This is the problem with all the bullshit surrounding China. It’s all “we KNOW it MUST be happening because I was told it a bunch of times.”
Sounds like someone without knowledge of the actual happenings in China tbh
When was the last time you stepped on Chinese soil?
Oh great, citing a Wikipedia article whose sources predominantly cite a single person. You can do better.
Hell yeah more invasions to fund the military industrial complex
Given that Hamas launched this attack on a Saturday during Shabbat… sure looks like they were targeting schoolchildren at the school, eh?
