US arms sales sound death knell for Taiwan authorities: Global Times editorial
US arms sales sound death knell for Taiwan authorities: Global Times editorial
The US and Japan need to restrain their strategic arrogance toward China and refrain from making provocative gestures to China to avoid fatal misjudgments.

The reason Taiwan is such a hot potato is Taiwan Semiconductor company,TSMC.
the one WHO controll the production of semiconductors controll the world.
The more China voices it’s displeasure at US shit stirring in Taiwan the more pleasure the US will take in doing it. Perhaps China should threaten to start selling weapons to Cuba, Mexico or anywhere that might piss off the US. How quick the US would be to cry foul and throw thier toys outta thier pram.
China will have three Aircraft carriers in the water next year including their new super carrier. They need to form an aircraft carrier group and do a world freedom of navigation tour. They should skim the shores of Japan and Guam before proceeding through The Panama Canal. Then steam right into The Caribbean and do circles around Cuba While sending some Cruisers to port there. Then they should steam towards Venezuela and take leave there for a while and let The U.S. sweat before steaming up the US East coast on its way across the Atlantic to make more freedom… Read more »
Why so many sex orientated Adverts ? Do you support this crap ? I’m very surprised – I thought more of you than people who recommend garbage for the brainwashed – you will support anything for money ?
I WILL NOT SUPPORT YOU BY VISITING THIS SITE AGAIN , – sorry – i didn’t realise you had this side to your characters
Even Alex Jones limits his ads to vitamins + pillows – You think he couldn’t find shit like these ads to make money if he wanted to – Where are your Principles ?
If the ads offend you that much, why don’t you do something about it. Support the Duran with your generous subscription. The more you help the Duran to stay online, the more the Duran will be able to restrict its advertisements to vitamins and pillows and other non-offensive advertisers. I will bet my life that the Greek Orthodox Duran fellas would like Nothing better than to be able to get rid of “this crap.” Have you thought of the possibility that getting the truth out may take priority over considerations of modest propriety? What do you think Jesus would do?
I was thinking the same thing. That said, he could always just enable an ad blocker. Duran doesn’t pop up those annoying ‘I see you’re using an ad blocker’ and block your entry until you disable it, like mainstream sites. He’s just a curmudgeon.
I would prefer there to be no adverts on all sites I visit, like the excellent Corbett Report, however corbett has many paying subscribers & donators to help him keep going. The Duran does not. Also remember platforms like youtube have demonitised alt media completely and thats where they got much of thier income from. I try to be a little understanding and ignore the adds and concentrate on the information the Duran offers for free. I come here for information and opinion, the adds are just white noise to me. I hadn’t even noticed any adds that might be… Read more »
exactly. SOMEBODY always has to pay the bills. If the ads are unpleasant to look at, don’t look at them, ignore them, treat them like white noise. At least you know who it is that’s is paying the bills. I get worried when there are no ads, because it makes me wonder who it is who is backing the message – is it Dr. Fauci? Bill Gates? Big Pharma? or the MIC trying to whip us into a frenzy into starting a new war? Blurring the message by focusing on ads you don’t like is nothing more than a distraction,… Read more »
Ha, that ‘My Pillow’ guy. The guy who made a fortune selling over-priced pillows. Ain’t American ingenuity great 😉
Meanwhile, I slumber away on my super-comfy Chinese made gel foam mattress, sleeping like a baby & counting like sheep, the $$$$ I saved by not buying an over-hyped Swedish tempur-pedic.
My Pillow and Amway vitamins, the refuge of the ultra-right. I think I’d prefer the sex ads. I escaped MSM to not have to listen to ultra-left gobbledegook. Same holds for the opposite spectrum.
Some advertisements which accompany your top notch news/analysis programs maybe considered in poor taste to some who greatly enjoy your commentary. I wish you the greatest success with your work.
All this is about is selling arms and nothing else. The US and their friends NATO could not subdue the Afghanis, who live in very primitive conditions, despite throwing the kitchen sink at them, what are their chances of coming out with the 7 fleet in tact? Its the US blowing all that hot air so their public will accept bigger and bigger military budgets while everything else get cut and goes down the toilet..
Fortunately I cant see any of the ads that many are uptight about. I use Brave so none of this is an issue. (for me). About The more important stuff: The huge Naval drills which The Western Alliance has been engaging in the South China Sea and the disastrous outcomes of the last two summits are very alarming. This is not business as usual. China has stated already that The Eurasian Alliance will not be deterred. Now this sale of weapons to Taiwan is The Western Alliance thumbing its nose at China. This is beginning to look like very scary… Read more »
It’s a fine pickle of a mess, all right. I’d stay way back, as all the wildly flaying arms might inadvertently smack a bystander.
You see the big heads in America think that they can enrol people in China to destroy their own country. Also dear Mr and Mrs America if you think that the servile place, that is presenting these WOKE Olympics can support you in battle, then you are on the wrong team. Have you nut jobs seen China on a map??? ps Don’t forget that their ally is the country that won WW11 – Russia.
