It's all just pretend - it's been that way since the handover actually - China took no chances.

Hong Kong is independent in name only - it is totally a part of China, yet the charade continues that Hong Kong has some autonomy. The reason for this, of course, is to lure foreign investment, but it's not really working.

Yandex now completely taken over by Russia - Putin's close ally, Alexei Kudrin, is pretty much taking over the helm.

Reply to comment by GAZ082 in Lithuania defense minister is leery that Russia will run out of ammo by KimCureAll

I've seen videos of conscripts trying to run away - it's hilarious and sad at the same time. Can you imagine being forced to have to fight and die for your country, a country that is not worth fighting for. I mean, Russia could be a great country, but its governance for centuries has been abysmal.

I don't think Russia can easily run out of ammo either, but it can run out of soldiers if the war continues for a long time. What's the latest count on Russian casualties? Well over 100K? Who in their right mind would voluntarily want to fight for Russia?

Reply to A court in Maldives on Sunday found the former president guilty of money laundering and accepting a bribe and sentenced him to 11 years in prison. The Criminal Court of Maldives also ordered Abdulla Yameen to pay a fine of $5 million by DoremusJessup

Yameen was totally in China's pocket - it was good to see him lose and even better now to see him sentenced. We'll see if he ever pays up and actually spends that much time, if any, in prison. The corrupting evidence of China's BRI is evident for all to see. No country comes out ahead dealing with China.
