I flew in 2024 most recently and had no such requirement. I wonder why the differing experience.

Have you been to China? They do none of this shit. They don’t gaf about your phone.

Because he’s lying. I travel to China regularly and they don’t give a fuck about my phone. Not once have they done more than just glance at my passport, glance at me, and stamp it and send me on my way.

No they don’t. Customs in China is like 2 seconds of them glancing at your passport, looking at you, and stamping it. Literally the fastest I’ve ever got through an airport is in China, both arriving and leaving.

Israel is recognized for using imprisonment as a form of hostage taking, holding thousands of Palestinians with no charges or trial for up to months at a time, as young as 8 years old. This is more of the same behavior for them. They were not in Israel until dragged there at gunpoint, they were in international waters, btw.

Django Reinhardt had pretty bad damage to his fretting hand too from a fire, and that dude shredded like no other.

I’d rather have a one party state under a communist party than a two party state under two capitalist parties. In both cases it’s immediately obvious who these parties serve, in China, it’s the people and society, in the U.S., it’s the billionaires and capitalist class.

They’re already in a union, this is China. All companies over a certain size are unionized by law.

You think they’re going to close all 38 of their bases across all of Europe? That would be a big strategic break from full spectrum dominance, which is US policy, and part of the plan to contain the growth of China.

The US would never give up its vassals in Europe for a single country.

You’re right, I was confusing it with them flying aid into Lebanon, the aid they’ve given to Palestine has been through Egypts crossing.

China frequently criticizes Israel, and has flown aid directly into Palestine. They’re a non-interventionalist nation, and have their own issues to work through, especially with the trade war ramping up and risks of a potential hot war. You want them to get themselves cut off from the global economy by attacking Israel or something?

Pretty sure his foundation received a significant amount of money from the gov that has been cut off with all these cuts, I think he’s just mourning his infinite money cheat code being turned off.

Unfortunately it’s not exactly community built, but more like a class of chronically online editors control it and prevent heterodox views and ideas from being added entirely.

He did however sanction and plan dozens of bombings, and maintained contact with a militant arm of his organization that killed plenty of people.

One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. Like the ANC and Nelson Mandela, who was a worldwide wanted terrorist for decades.

Settler-colonialism

Gaza has been categorized as the world’s largest concentration camp by holocaust experts already. So yes, they do have a concentration camp, it’s called the Gaza Strip.

Not exactly bonds, but my Chinese stocks have outperformed my US stocks for months now. My BYD shares are up over 60% in less than a year. They seem to have stabilized around $100/share right now, but it’s still leagues ahead of where my US stocks are.

And if you’re allergic to MMR like me, just pray you can stay in an area where herd immunity keeps up.
