Sounds like China is admitting that they indeed had significant developments in Panama, indicating that the US - Panama treaties governing the handover of the canal were not being upheld. Otherwise why would the Chinese government put up su

They must abide by treaties, so no they don’t get to build relations with whoever they want. The canal’s handover came with requirements. If they don’t want to uphold those, and treaties mean nothing, why would their sovereignty be respecte

Thanks. I’ll admit I am guilty of this. But I don’t know what the solution is. Features like flagging and voting tend to create hostility in these discussions, and I think that’s part of the problem. But another problem is the atmosphere cr

This feels like posturing or theater for votes. After all, didn’t Carney just recently move the headquarters of his company to New York from Canada? If there is such a risk with the United States, why does he maintain so many ties to it per

I don’t know much about kanban but doesn’t this basically create work for others to bring the milk paper back? I can see how this works and is efficient in a way, but it removes the work for the person to monitor the milk stock.

No intention to take over? So they’ll walk away from Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Taiwan? Also, leading countries in Asia and Africa into debt traps and dependence on them through the BRI is not very different from taking over.

Is it the radical right or the radical left that doesn’t respect law and uses violence for political reasons? BLM, antisemitic occupations of campuses, and now terrorism against Tesla owners, are all from the left. Even if there were compar

This is the norm in all US universities, not just the top ones. The advising professors regularly take advantage of their position and power over students. It’s not everyone but incredibly common.
