Asia China's growing influence

[Sqotty from office works]

Stock meaning lobsters to eat or lobsters to breed?

The Chinese will eat every lobster and when there is none left they will move onto the next fishery, and old crayfishermen will wonder why thier kids aren't fishing and why is our industry broken.
They're fools those fisherman

Terrible incident in China with 35 killed when a man went crazy in an SUV and un over folks exercising.

35 killed and 43 others injured in southern China after car deliberately ploughs into crowd

Local police describe the hit-and-run incident as a "vicious" and deliberate attack. They say the alleged 62-year-old driver was upset about his divorce.

No mention in the Global Times of the event, but the SCMP did cover it.

Incorrect. The Global Times had this article posted 12hrs before you posted that:

35 killed, 43 injured in car ramming incident in Zhuhai, S.China's Guangdong Province: police - Global Times

And others like CGTn, CCTV too. Did they delay it? Yes, until the final death toll was confirmed. It may seem unusual for people used to western media with its “breaking news” obsession and posting whatever tweet they can find which is usually wrong. But that’s how it’s done over there. They certainly aren’t “censoring” the incident

More important for Australia, with all the hard work the government have done restoring our relationship with China, is the election of Trump and his promotion of war hawks like Rubio. Are we really going to undo what we’ve gained to appease those neocons?

Cue the Chinese people being upset and indignant, and a few more incursions in the Taiwanese ADIZ or the Strait's center line.

U.S. commission recommends adding Taiwan to 'NATO Plus' group​

Taipei, Nov. 20 (CNA) The United States should amend an existing law to add Taiwan to the list of "NATO Plus" allies and streamline future arms sales, a U.S. commission said Tuesday in its annual report to Congress.

The recommendation was made in the 2024 report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC), which contained chapters on U.S.-China economic and trade ties, security relations, and Taiwan and Hong Kong.

The USCC was created by the U.S. Congress in 2000 to submit to Congress an annual report on the national security implications of the bilateral trade and economic relationship between the U.S. and China, and to provide recommendations for legislative and administrative actions.
