    US Navy to Turn Pacific Oil Rigs Into Mobile Military Bases to Counter China

  • Professors, students say ‘no’ to Florida as new law targets Chinese

    Jump

  • Spying from within public educational institutions feels rather counterintuitive. Chinese students weren't getting security clearance anyway, so the only goal of their research is to be published in publicly viewable journals or conferences. This is a witch hunt.

  • China trying to gain space through force, US admiral says

    Jump

  • I thought that the Philippines were explicitly denied the Spratly Islands in their treaty for independence with the US because the Philippines did not hold sovereignty over the Spratlys when they were a Spanish colony? I can understand China and Vietnam's conflicting claims, but the Philippines sounds like they're ignoring the first rule of UNCLOS: UNCLOS does not resolve issues of sovereignty and does not supercede existing sovereignty claims.

    The Filipino claim on the Spratlys is completely nonsensical. By the same argument, Kinmen should also be Chinese. It's stupid, insane, and just an opportunity to deflect from the very real territorial dispute between China/Taiwan and Vietnam.

  • Holy shit we might actually have a chance of beating back climate change. I never expected the sheer scale of Chinese photovoltaic expansion.

    Regardless of what you think about the impacts of this on the economy, it's undoubtedly good for the environment to have cheap electricity available to supplant expensive fossil fuels.

  • Way too big of a target for a black hat group imo. It was only sloppy because they got caught.

    The length of this project points to external funding.

  • This is either a state actor operating under a fake name or it deserves to be one.

    The perpetrator, "Jia Tan," let's assume has last name 陈. In Mandarin, this is pronounced as Chen, in Hong Kong as Chan, while in Minnan this is pronounced as Tan. Minnan is prevalent in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other southeast Asian countries as well as in parts of Fujian, China (where it originated).

    A common feature of early Chinese expat communities was that they were overwhelmingly from Guangdong (think Gold Rush era). However, more recently, there's been a massive wave of Taiwan and Hong Kong emigration... The relevant takeaway here is that Tan is much more common of a pronunciation in expat communities than it is in China.

    Of course, they could also have the last name 谭, but that's a good bit rarer. 陈 is the most common Chinese surname overseas and the 5th most common in China, while 谭 is something like 54th most common in China. Odds are high that, if this was a persona constructed by a state actor, it did not come from China but from an overseas actor for which Tan is a more common romanization.

  • China’s new rules for finance pull the brakes on gravy train, bringing ‘greed is good’ era to a halt

  • Overlegislation of the financial sector will lead to financial collapse. An upper crust of obscenely wealthy bankers is essential for the proper function of the financial system and thus the economy.
