I don't see China allowing the US to have this platform.

China owns enough Senators to stop this.

The Senate in Star Wars...whatever number, is less corrupt than the US Senate today.

Interestingly, local paper said that some rich Democrat was trying to buy TikToc. I'll see if I can find the story again.

Is the news media going to run a few stories about how a guy like him buying a popular social media platform is a threat to democracy and free speech?

Just asking for a friend.

Seriously?

Tiawan has to be kicking themselves for not offering up a larger bribe to the Bidens.

Working off memory (and a touch of scotch at the moment) but I don't think we've supported Taiwanese independence since like the '70s. I think we just keep the CCP off them.

You may be right, but I always thought our position was to "not have a position", formally, on Taiwan's independence per the Six Assurances. The idea being that it's for the Taiwanese to determine, although all of out actions seem to support independence.

Kirby's statement appears to be a departure from that neutral stance, based on that understanding.

I posted about the clashes between China and India in the Galwan Valley a while ago in this thread but this is the first video I recall seeing of the clashes.

This looks kind of funny, but some clashes are pretty brutal and, as reported in the earlier post, people do get killed:

Kind of beating a dead horse here, but damn... you think we'd be just as focused on this as on say....Trump's assets or something.

Me no rikey...
