You should really try reading the statement, the comrades from CPMK do well to explain why even a non religious person should find inspiration in the Islamic Revolution as a movement against imperialism and colonialism. It is objectively the progressive force in the fight for liberation of the oppressed around the world, even with the flaws imposed upon it by the conditions it was born out of
That’s pretty cheap for a BBL
People have no idea that ethnic groups in Iran have more rights than in most western nations.
Thanks for the info. I hadn’t considered this as an option but it does seem pretty viable at this point.
Do you run into issues with 2 factor verification? I’ve noticed many services forcing people to use it and only allowing phone numbers
What about it you need to call a business like a bank, restaurant, etc?
Good to know. When I think of French people, smoking is one of the first elements that comes to mind.
Yeah same, it’s easily the worst issue I have when in China. Technically people aren’t supposed to smoke indoors but many people don’t enforce the rules which is annoying. I’ve not noticed a smell in any rooms I stayed in but in the lobbies, halls, and especially bathrooms, you can often smell it. And outdoors every 5th person seems to be smoking
The only other issue I really have had is on long train rides people will be watching videos loudly on their phones, which is also against the rules. Train staff will sometimes tell them to turn it down but not as frequently as it should be.
Have fun, China is pretty great aside from all the cigarette smokers, but you might be used to that as a European
USian here, can’t speak to euro credit cards but US credit cards work fine. You 100% need alipay and/or WeChat, I would have both. You just put your credit card info on there and it works fine. Alipay also has some kind of travel card option I think but never needed it. I would get an Esim and then you don’t need a VPN, I used trip.com esim. I have mullvad VPN and it works fine in China.
Get a spot in Shanghai near Metro to make travel easier. Shanghai gets relatively cold in winter and very hot in summer.
The Chinese gov doesn’t care about you unless you are literally a spy or doing illegal things so I wasn’t really worried about privacy as I am when I am in the US.
It could be each government’s regulation as well, perhaps they are blocking RT at the national level
Did you try a different VPN? Many websites block VPNs from viewing their website, this is more likely the issue.
Edit: I have mullvad, RT works if you connect via Albania, I tried a few others and it didn’t work but there are probably other countries which work too
Anglo-American is DeBeers’ parent company
As if a mining company in Africa couldn’t be more cracker, they are named anglo-american
I think they already came out and said they wouldn’t surrender
Most of these nations are Russian allies and have no reason to support Ukraine, which is the Israel of eastern Europe
Adding to what the other person said, Israel actually gives China access to their weapons tech which the US won’t share, and China’s tech ends up in supporting the entire resistance
And what’s so bad about that?
The alternative is that more Ukrainians die which has already destroyed their economy for at least a generation and will only get worse. A country with only elderly people and disabled people won’t be a country very long
He’s Putin me on!
In a world run by sam altman, peter thiel, and the rest of the capitalist AI goons, criticizing China for their relationship with AI is about as fucking ignorant as one can get on the subject
