Why would that be over the top? we took daily tests first (so your mobile Covid app is automatically upgraded the next day) then down to a weekly test. All you have to do is to show your Covid -app - if you enter places were people congregate. - it is the simplest control and is no burden to anyone.

Yes - such rumors are actually cruising around in China. Who initiated these rumors is beyond my knowledge. Personally however I do not see the correlation between daily/weekly virus checks and restricted movement - and preparations to spend a couple of days or weeks in a bunker. ;)

Well depends as to what someone might consider to be "draconian". Beijing has opted for a ZERO policy - so once cases are detected measures are put in place - in the worst case lock-down of a residential building, the compound, the city district, the entire city down to a province. As for the...

If you have no source of proof in this matter - you should kindly abstain from such baseless comments. - thanks

Thanks, very informative reply As for India interested in competing or reducing Chinese influence in the Indian ocean and towards Africa's Eastern shores makes sense to me - but what is the objective behind India's push towards the South-China-Sea? - leaving aside it's joint oil/gas exploration...

Bleeding out Russia will take years - years that NATO and the Ukraine don't have. Indeed there is only a slow-motion-steamroller advance by Russia if at all - however Ukraine hasn't been able to stop it, not to mention regaining any significant territory size since April. yes, Russia is bound...

Naturally - because aside from oil and gas - Russia has been a main spot for Western investments - and no one incl. the EU can afford to lose that market. Initiate? you mean to stop or slow down? Come on let's stay realistic. My analysis is purely based on economic and military data - Russian...

In form of drippings? USA maybe 12 instead of 4 MLRS systems? France sending another 5 Caesar's? According to who? western Media? - or substantial confirmed evidence? Russia so far hasn't even begun to substantially tap it's reserves. The Ukraine forces are facing increased desertion and...

Ukraine and NATO despite needing to be aware latest since 2014 were/are IMO totally not prepared to face off an attack by Russia on February 2022. The requested amount of weapons by Ukraine to "win" this war are also IMO not feasible - certainly not within the next 24 month. (and certainly not...

I don't see that time is playing on Selensky's side - far more to Putin's favor IMO.

Maybe Selensky would be well advised to consider this idea seriously - instead of facing the issue of going to lose far more, right down to the entire Ukraine getting into Putin's hands in the next 12+ month.

Hello Nilgiri, How is India's relationship to Myanmar, Maldives and the Seychelles? or what describes it best? Is India's maritime strategy directed towards the South-China-Sea or more towards the West? respectively towards the Eastern seaboard of Africa?

As long as it's useful information :D

I feel you xizhimen :) the look-down ended last week around my compound - and is getting hopefully even more relaxed after June. Before the look-down Shanghai recorded at highest 20,000+ cases - now after 6 weeks it's back to 1-2 digit numbers. That people in general aren't happy is understood...

Yes Infrastructure accomplishments in China are mind-boggling. And the same applies towards countries that are partners in the one road one world project. E.g. the quality of highway's and country roads in China - especially those since 2012 are great. Before there was a lot of "dubious"...

Oke bagus lah

Sure - why not and Indonesia can always: jangan ragu untuk meninggalkan G8 baru

The article (2020) states: Today, Switzerland’s high seas fleet consists of 27 ships, operated by four shipping companies. That there are foreign shipping companies that might be registered in Switzerland - I would not exclude that possibility. Just for a comparison: German merchant ships...

Switzerland? you sure?

True, true and the same applies towards Ukraine - with their added disadvantage of having far less tanks, APC/AFV, aircraft, GGM & AGM missiles and artillery.
