None of lemmy.zip infrastruture is hosted inside UK, but lemmy.zip main admin is UK citizen so the law can target him directly. Not sure how much of it was a protest and how much of it was a simple protection from abusive law.

Direct access to lemmy.zip is restricted, but the post is still federated so people from any other instance can access it.

Not even close. They basically added some basic restrictions that are easy to bypass and geoblocked the feature in countries that started investigations into it.

Trump, Putin and Netanyahu - war criminals in chief. Honestly any other country that joins this farse should be mocked and shamed forever.

Well, since Krasnodar is in southern Russia, it’s fair to say they missed.

The boy’s mother, Safaa al-Sharafy, told The Associated Press that he had left to gather firewood so she could cook.

“He went out in the morning, hungry,” she said, tears running down her cheeks. “He told me he’d go quickly and come back.”

Killing starving children is Israel’s specialty.

If they do, then it probably will remove the remaining hesitation from EU doing the same.

New Apple is really determined to jump on every single worst new trend.

Donald Trump’s cavalry did not ride to the rescue.

That would have been illegal under both US and international law. But laws are dead in the US so I guess it’s fine, right?

!floorp@lemmy.zip might appeal to Vivaldi users.

US is never an ally. Assuming they are is a deadly mistake.

They do.

No one has ever actually seen a droplet fall directly, despite all the watchful eyes. The experiment is now live-streamed, but various glitches in the past meant that each fateful moment has slipped us by.

Sanctions directly devalued their currency by 99% of the value. Removing sanctions would have enormous effect on ordinary citizens.

They doubled their polling since the last election, now sitting at 14% and while that’s not gonna lead them to the No.10, they will likely have weight behind them in the future.

You don’t need to convince me that Iran’s or China’s supression of their people is bad. From supression of speech to repressive woman rights and various human right abuses. I wholeheartedly oppose that. I’m against all authoritarian regimes, but it’s not up-to foreign countries, but people of those countries to overthrow them if they desire. In accordance with international law we have no right impose our beliefs on them.

My post was about Kharon site which is run by former U.S. Treasury Intelligence Officials who have active contracts with U.S. Treasury Department and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In many respects US is worse than Iran and China combined when it comes to human rights and so everything they accuse others of just comes off as hypocritical and whitewashing. I despise US superiority complex and hypocrisy.

Me agreeing with China stating that international law should be followed is not in defense of China, but the aforementioned international law.

Also, the economic crisis in Iran is mostly created by Western sanctions, so if we really cared about Iranians, we would stop that.

If that’s bad, why the same isn’t called out by Kharon when US police forces are trained under genocidal IDF forces?

“We hope the Iranian government and people will overcome the current difficulties and uphold stability in the country,” a Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman said at a press briefing Wednesday. China opposes, she added, “external interference in other countries’ internal affairs.”

Iranian people didn’t ask US for regime change they only want sanctions relief. So anything implying that is simply manufacturing of consent by US state or state run media.

Also, every fucking sane person opposes foreign interferance in sovereign countries affairs. I oppose:

• US -> Venezuela
• Russia -> Ukraine
• China -> Taiwan
• China -> India
• India -> Pakistan
• Israel -> Palestine
• Israel -> Iran
• US -> Iran
• US -> Greenland

Just a few examples from the top of my head.

P.S. While both China and Taiwan officially claim to be the rightful ruler of all the China, 62.8% (as of 2023 poll) of people in Taiwan identify as Taiwanease, so subverting that would be interference with internal affairs by most standards.

Updated the title to match the new one.

Education, research oppurtunities and cost. They are also heavily emphasizing open research for global good instead of many Western universities that try to patent everything for maximum profit. That appeals to many researchers who just want to make a world a better place.

Also, citizenship is not a thing in US or UK universities either.

Over the past decade the country has increased its spending on research and development by roughly 9% annually in real terms. In 2023, adjusting for purchasing power, China outspent both America and the European Union on combined government and higher-education R&D. The country has also drawn back many Chinese researchers who were once based abroad, a cohort known as haigui (sea turtles), a homophone for “returning from across the sea”.

As mentioned above, Chinese Government scholarships are a good idea to apply before choosing a certain university or program. The scholarships can cover all the expenses and free you of those issues in advance.

Otherwise, expect to spend around 200-300$ on accommodation each month, and around 2.000-4.000$ on tuition fees.

What strikes me most about Chinese government’s approach to higher education investment is the principle of equality. Rather than concentrating resources solely in a handful of elite universities, funding has been strategically directed toward a broad range of universities, including those in remote and less developed regions. I’ve learned that over the past decade, about 1.98 million college teachers in western China have been trained on massive open online courses (MOOC). The substantial figure represents Chinese government’s resolve to bridge regional disparities and ensure wider access to high-quality educational resources across the country.
