nekandro OP , to worldnews in Sweden Closes Investigation of Pipeline Blasts, but Stays Silent on Cause

If Sweden had found Russia at fault, you’d think they would be shouting it from the rooftops.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in US officials: "We realize that efforts, implied or explicit, to shape or change the PRC over several decades did not succeed"

This is just strictly not true, otherwise Canada’s Northwest Passage would be considered EEZ and not part of internal waters. EEZ is drawn from the extant point outside of the baseline.

nekandro , to worldnews in ‘A race against time’: Taiwan strives to root out China’s spies

I always find it silly how Westerners have no grasp of reunification in a non-military manner.

In the same way say, France and Germany might have a unified economy or Canada and the US might have a unified culture, it’s entirely possible to maintain legislative and/or budgetary independence under a unified front. In fact, that’s already more-or-less true of China’s governments: the proportion of government spending at the federal level is only 15% of all government spending. This includes spending for defence, science & technology, public security, public services, education, and diplomacy.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in ICJ Delivers Preliminary Objections Judgment in the Ukraine v. Russia Genocide Case, Ukraine Loses on the Most Important Aspects

EJIL:Talk! is one of the leading international law blogs and provides some in-depth analysis of the ICJ’s recent ruling on Ukraine v. Russian Federation.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in ICJ Delivers Preliminary Objections Judgment in the Ukraine v. Russia Genocide Case, Ukraine Loses on the Most Important Aspects

In Ukraine v. Russia the claim is that Russia falsely asserted that Ukraine committed genocide against Russians or Russian-speakers in Ukraine, and on that basis then proceeded to invade Ukraine.

In its judgment, the Court distinguishes between two different aspects of Ukraine’s case. The first is whether Ukraine can make a ‘reverse compliance’ claim by seeking a declaration that it did not commit genocide in Eastern Ukraine. The second is whether Russia violated the Convention by making the false allegation of genocide against Ukraine, and then by using force against it.

The Court dismissed all of Russia’s more procedural objections, and did so near-unanimously. But on the subject-matter jurisdiction issue Ukraine lost, and as I said it lost badly. By 12 votes to 4 (Judges Donahue, Sebutinde, Robinson and Charlesworth dissenting), the Court UPHELD Russia’s preliminary objection that false allegations of genocide, and uses of force based on them, fall outside the scope of the Genocide Convention.

Now, on the merits, the Court will have to decide solely whether Ukraine is responsible for violating the Genocide Convention. But no issue of Russia’s responsibility will arise, except very implicitly.

nekandro OP , to worldnews in US officials: "We realize that efforts, implied or explicit, to shape or change the PRC over several decades did not succeed"

Beijing has never cared much about the result of this Taiwanese election because the majority of Taiwanese support improving relations with China (see: votes for KMT, TPP). This entire claim of “tense cross-Strait relations” is a manufactured concern so Biden can knock a win.

The most significant recent tension in cross-Strait relations has been the declaration of the Taiwan Strait as international waters (induced largely by FONOPS declaring it as such) and the ending of some of Taiwan’s special economic statuses for trade with China (induced largely by increased arms trade with foreign powers). Everything else is just posturing to save face on both sides.

“Electoral interference” is illegal, but “shaping and changing the PRC” is just business.

The US doesn’t recognize Singapore as sovereign? Membership in the CPC is conditional on being a Chinese citizen.

This is what happens when your culture has been male-dominated for centuries and you never had women with power in high-level positions.
