Reactionaries understand China better than ultras—pathetic!

China and other Asia-Pacific countries that are affected by the wastewater discharge can collaborate to enact sanctions against the relevant Japanese government officials, institutions and companies.

Edit: Also, slightly off-topic, but the 3.4 billion yen is paid for by TEPCO — the company responsible for the discharge — while the 70.1 billion yen is paid for by the government. Once, again—the short-term, narrow-mindedness of neoliberalism reveals its true nature.

BRICS+ is a consequence of the general secular trend away from US-led Western unipolarity, particularly financial dominance; ultimately, into socialism. I view opponents of this trend as people in row boats sailing directly into a world-consuming tsunami in a futile attempt to stop it.

The gardener does not want to acknowledge that beneath his land of flowers and butterflies lies the skeletons of the original inhabitants.

I thought that the controversy was because the Fukushima wastewater made contact with the exposed core of the nuclear plant. This introduced — not only more dangerous isotopes — but also greater amounts of it, compared to regular wastewater.

US infrastructure is, like 50 years, behind.

Everything they listed to be proud of was food and/or entertainment. Look, I like food too (my country has some pretty good food), but if those are the only things you are proud of…you probably shouldn’t be proud of your country.

American "culture" doesn't possess any actual substance, unlike Chinese or Russian culture, to name a few; which is why Americans have to rely on US military war crimes and Hollywood to not feel insecure of themselves.

Do you believe, then, that China would adopt foreign policy similar to the Soviet Union? And could even create an international version of the Warsaw Pact, that is an economic and military alliance between socialist states?

No, that won't happen. China has a strict policy of non-interventionism and non-alliance. China has consistently condemned the formation of small, exclusive blocs, like the G7, and the advent of a new Cold War. What you can expect is China strengthening relations with the Global Majority by providing assistance in the development of their own productive forces, rather than simply existing as raw material exporters; for example, China committed itself to enhancing long-term China-Africa relations at the recent BRICS summit meeting, and also pledged support to Cuba's national sovereignty and for the embargo to end. That is internationalism of the 21st century.

Western propaganda is just really lazy, nowadays. No doubt that it's a symptom of neoliberalism-induced brain rot.
