  • One Fox News viewer offered a more measured perspective, “Cool, that’s how parking enforcement works in NYC, DC, Chicago, LA, London, and basically every major city with cameras,” adding, “You park illegally, the system catches it, you get a ticket.”

    The same commenter elaborated, "The only difference is the speed of the notification. Most US cities mail you the ticket a few days later. Beijing sends a text the same day. The technology is faster. The system is the same.

    If “automated parking enforcement that texts you when you violate the rules” is communism, then NYC’s $238 million in annual camera-issued parking tickets is the largest communist enterprise in North America."





  • No one important was there to greet him when he landed. They were actually meeting with the Iranians. Remember Trump begged China for help with the Straight of Hormuz disaster, and China didn’t even respond. Trump got so pissed off that he canceled the China trip after threatening them and as always he lied and now will be schooled by China. They will just smile and nod but behind his back do whatever they want. There is no trust in America in China especially since the US is leader in the worst anti Chinese propaganda.

    China is running circles around the US and it’s regime. They have a backup plan for the backup plan and are largely independent from the US. Especially in regards to green energy, EV’s, battery technology, China is miles ahead.

















  • With fewer than 40 days until the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, broadcast rights for the tournament remain unsold on China’s mainland and time is running out. However, a potential breakthrough may be on the horizon, as senior FIFA officials are reportedly planning a trip to Beijing in the coming weeks.

    According to Shanghai-based sports broadcaster Star Sports, a “secretary-general level executive” from FIFA is expected to visit China soon, sparking renewed hope that the long-stalled negotiations over World Cup broadcasting rights could finally move forward.

    The urgency is mounting. Reuters has described FIFA as being in the midst of a full-blown “broadcast crisis.” Not only China, but also India, has yet to confirm an official broadcaster for the 2026 tournament. The standoff has left football’s global governing body in a far more uncomfortable position than initially anticipated.

    FIFA entered negotiations with an aggressive asking price, but as the countdown to kickoff ticks toward zero, the organization is being forced to recalibrate its expectations, the Red Star News reported today.

    Multiple media reports have revealed that FIFA’s initial asking price for the 2026 World Cup rights in China ranged from US$250-300 million. China Central Television’s budget, by contrast, is estimated to be just US$60-80 million. Even after FIFA reportedly lowered its demand to around US$120–150 million, a significant gap remains.






  • Since when do the Chinese build stations outside of the city? I can pick from any 4 stations all centrally located in Shanghai, and get off the train after 4 hours in the heart of Beijing and be in my hotel in 15 minutes. The same goes for any city. Chinese build airports outside of the city. If I would do the same trip with flights, I need travel 1 hour to the airport, be there 1 hour before, 2 hour flight, land 1 hour outside of Beijing. That’s 5 hours if all goes smooth. This is why high speed rail is the preferred option to travel. Especially if you can afford business class.
