In Taiwan’s Constitutional Court, 8 justices handled a case on whether amendments to the Constitutional Litigation Act were unconstitutional: 5 ruled parts invalid, while 3 refused to join and said the 5‑justice panel was illegitimate. image From a constitutional design angle, parliament is built for political fights, so walkouts and boycotts are basically “priced in” as part of democratic struggle, and the cost is paid through political responsibility and elections, not legal sanctions. But a constitutional court is meant to keep the system running, so if justices can boycott deliberations to block quorum, they turn a political weapon on a body that is supposed to stay non‑political and end up paralyzing the very system they swear to protect.

image In 1942, Japan told us the same story — an old version “Unified Asia,” the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Guess what? You Chinese guys turned it down and went to war. China would've been wiped out w/o the Allies’ bloody battles against Japan. Not good for you in 1942? image Keep track of all the militarists here. It should be fixed at the right time in the future.

【Militarism Traits vs China’s Current Status】 1️⃣ Military supremacy; politics subordinate to military goals - China: PLA fully loyal to the Party and top leader. 2️⃣ High military spending; resources prioritized for defense - China: Rapidly rising defense budget, limited transparency. 3️⃣ Nationalism + ideological unity + glorification of the military - China: Promotes “Strong Army Dream” and patriotic military education. 4️⃣ Using military power as a foreign policy tool - China: Frequent military pressure in Taiwan Strait, South China Sea, border areas. 5️⃣ Power centralization; suppression of dissent - China: Tight control of media; military issues cannot be debated. 6️⃣ Societal militarization trend - China: Expanding national defense education and reserve reforms. image

DEAD BODIES ARE DISAPPEARING IN CHINA Possible links to illegal organ trade, corruption, and black market activity. Families left without answers, dignity denied. A chilling look into a hidden system few dare to expose.

WTF FILTERS Two Chinese researchers were accused by the FBI of plotting to smuggle a crop-killing fungus, Fusarium graminearum, into the United States. This fungus poses a serious threat to major crops such as wheat, barley, corn, and rice, and could potentially devastate the U.S. food supply if weaponized or genetically modified. The suspects are Jian Yunqing, a 33-year-old University of Michigan researcher and Chinese Communist Party member, and her boyfriend Liu Zunong, 34. Liu was arrested at Detroit airport in July 2024 while attempting to bring the fungus samples into the country. Jian is currently detained, and Liu remains at large. Officials view this as a deliberate biological attack on U.S. agriculture, raising national security concerns. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst called it a “potential bioweapon” and praised law enforcement for preventing a major crisis. Experts recommend genomic sequencing of the smuggled fungus to assess whether it has been engineered to increase its virulence or resistance. Source:

A live report from BBC journalist Kate Adie during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing. It shows the brutal crackdown by the military on student protesters demanding political freedom and reform. On the night of June 3rd, soldiers opened fire on unarmed civilians around Tiananmen Square. The streets were chaotic—gunshots, burning military vehicles, and many injured people rushed to hospitals. Kate Adie witnessed the violence firsthand and even faced gunfire herself. She risked everything to get the footage out to the world, exposing the harsh reality of the crackdown. The protesters showed incredible courage, especially the iconic “Tank Man” who stood in front of a column of tanks, symbolizing peaceful resistance against military force. After the massacre, the Chinese government arrested many and suppressed foreign journalists. This event shocked the world and remains a sensitive and important moment in China’s modern history.

COVID-19 infection may result in objectively measurable cognitive deficits that can persist for a year or longer. The NEJM study titled "Cognition and Memory after Covid-19 in a Large Community Sample" assessed over 112,000 participants using online cognitive tests between July 2021 and August 2022. Researchers analyzed performance in memory, reasoning, and executive function across different groups: those who had COVID-19 with varying symptom durations and those who never had COVID-19.
