From first-hand experience, Vancouver downtown Eastside does have needles everywhere. Then again, nobody really walks through downtown Eastside, so I guess it's fine.

If the guy wrote an article, just link to an article 🤷♀️
The article in question: ❓
Then maybe link the article itself? It's not that hard, guys.
Ah yes, because the New Yorker is a completely unbiased source of information instead of (as the name might suggest) a newspaper targeted at the New York elite.
How is rail ever going to be cost-competitive with ocean freight? Even considering Suez transit costs of $7-10/ton, the most efficient railroads in the world achieve 4.4c/ton-mile, or about $68 per ton on the proposed route plus the cost in both time/money and latency/throughput of being dependent on two massive ports for loading and unloading.
IMEC aims to connect Middle Eastern oil to European and Indian markets and European/Indian products to the Middle Eastern market. That's about all it's good for.
The Guardian is indeed Kremlin propaganda. Ever since Ole Jacob Sunde took over (with known ties to the Kremlin), The Guardian has very slightly shifted their editorial stance to be marginally more pro-Russian.
Isn't Zelensky also eliminating opposition parties? No corruption (tm)
We can hardly blame Saudi Arabia because they're an ally.

A lot of older Chinese people just feel that the Western LGBT environment is rather odd: the rampant sexualization and PDA is at odds with the traditionally conservative culture. If the LGBT movement had adopted a more traditional protest scheme rather than the flair of flamboyance it has today, it would have seen much more support in China imo.
Also, a lot of Chinese TV has homoerotic undertones, idk what you're watching.
China has infrastructure investment and affirmative action. What do red states have?
