Death penalty is entirely up to Supreme People’s Court and has been since CCP took over. It basically means the authoritarians decide which cases are death worthy. But it’s truethere have been some “reforms” that reduced what is death worthy and try to legitimize the system. Either way, all of that is moot in an authoritarian system and it’s silly to pretend otherwise.
Congratulations to Americans and new yorkers in particular! Hoping real change for quality of life succeeds
Agreed, the cruelty and brutallity of these organizations is something else entirely and this sends a clear message that you will die if you go here. If anyone deserves a death penalty it’s these guys.
I’m generally against death penalty but this is great news. Chinese syndicates in the region are some of the worst people on earth right now and I say this as someone who’s currently based in Thailand and have been paying attention to the scam center issue for years now.
Seems like whatever protection they had within CCP is crumbling due to critical mass reaching the news lately and mostly thanks to strong exposure here by western journalists and pressure from SEA governments. Even CCP could not tolerate this and hopefully this means the end of this truly despicable source of human suffering.
There’s also been some rumors that CCP is directly involved with this as a policy to harm the west and weaken the SEA region which make sense, especially given the authoritarian nature but AFAIK there is no strong evidence here and it might have gotten too high profile either way so it’s very possible that these centers will be defeated soon.
I guess you could attribute a fair share to self-destructive and contrarians but 37% is still too high.
Tbh just dance vance is more of a watch from the corner chair sort of guy
Domestic and international politics are very different but if anything China’s aggression enables the corruption in Philippines
Man you’re talking out of your ass. I’ve been visiting Vietnam for over 10 years now, I live in SEA and have many Vietnamese friends with whom we discuss world politics and here you are saying that Vietnam and China has no tensions in the South China Sea when that’s by far the #1 geopolitical issue in the region.
Not even going to entertain your walls of nonsense anymore as you’re just building strawmen and attacking me. Get lost troll.
Tell me why is war with China going to happen
Are you living under a rock or something? Vietnam’s number 1 security issue is China and nobody else.
I go to Vietnam at least once a year and Vietnam hates China as it’s really the only security challenge in the region. Cambodia and Laos are buffer zones that will never evolve into anything serious ever and other neighbours are an ocean away. To add, there’s a big cultural clash between Vietnamese and Chinese that is out of scope of this thread.
South-China Sea conflict is literally the biggest brewing issue in the region and you’d be an idiot to say otherwise.
Also bringing in WW2 and Vietnam-US war is so incredibly out of touch. Most Vietnamese have long forgotten the french and the americans and if anything got significantly closer to both than to China.
The jets there are 100% for south-china sea conflict hot or posturing. You think they will send them to fight US tarrifs? What are you even talking about. Again, a huge wall of utter rubbish.
what a big wall of absolute nonsense.
You could read the article and yes that’s the whole point that Vietnam will likely never receive the jets it’s just a way to take take Vietnamese tax payer’s money and use it to sponsor ruzis.
Vietnam owes Russia 8B for the deal -> instead of paying which would void sanctions, they join with ruzis to help them launder oil and gas -> ruzis launder 8B oil/gas profits through Vietnam -> Vietnam maybe gets the jets in several decades if ruzia doesn’t collapse.
Good, any religion for kids who don’t even have the slightest concept of their own mortality or metaphysics is uenthical and immoral, period.
But what would banning headscarves in daycare centers even achieve
it allows people to escape oppression? Religion has no place in day care centres, period.
I wonder how Vietnamese feel about their government basically giving 8 billion USD (2% of GDP) to Russia for something they will might not even get and if they do it’ll be inferrior tech to anything else. Su-35 has been a real failure in Ukraine war and widely considered to be objecftively worse than F-16V and Rafale fighters and China’s J-16s which Vietnamese SU-35s would be likely engaging and training for.
I did a bit of research of what are Vietnams fighter options for new class fighters:
So this seems like a blatant, inexcusable payment to the ruzzies which is such a shame to see. I hope they never see the planes and if they do they fall apart immediately together with the current ruzzi empire.
Non an american but I feel like US needs a revolutionary candidate to come back from Trump. It has to be someone strong enough to put nazis back into their place.
It’s still early to talk about this though right? From what I understand the upcoming midterms will shape everything else.
Yes after you learn all better clients first, sure.
It’s just a http client CLI not a programming language. It’s not that difficult to switch. In fact I use at least 5 different ones myself.
wait, he’s invited? Oh of course it’s invitation by Malaysian PM…
This is the way. Kyoto is incredibly rich and can easily afford to protect itself.
Yes I think Vietnam recently used something similar but AFAIK reprieve here leads to commuted sentence if no crimes are commited not like “you got 2 years now you die” more like “you got 2 years and didn’t do major shit so instead serving 20 instead of dying”.
