Sony Censors Film, Surrendering To North Korean Demands

The Interview shelved indefinitely.

Seeking to repair relations between America and a wrathful Kim Jung-un, the Obama administration announced it would swiftly arrest and convict the film-maker responsible: Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.

“China Has NEVER Mistreated Religious Minorities…And We’ll Stop Harvesting Their Organs As Soon As We Possibly Can!”

In a splendid display of benevolence, justice and morality, the Chinese Communist Party presents yet another empty promise to be a little less Nazi-like.

With us, as always, is eminent historian Joe Hung of Taiwan's China Post, to explain the complex constitutional rationale behind China's exploitation and genocide of Tibetans, Uighurs and Falun Gong adherents:

Satire: The China Post's Joe Hung explains why Tibet belongs to China: 'Once upon a time, a beautiful Tibetan princess married a handsome Chinese prince...And that is why, to this day, Tibetans organs are the exclusive property of the government of China!'

Sounds legit.

China Uses Ex-PLA Mouthpiece To Communicate Its Plans To Drown Taiwan In A Sea Of Blood

From today's Taipei Times:

“The Taiwan issue will not remain unresolved for a long time. We will not abandon the possibility of using force; according to the law, it is also an option to resolve the issue by military means if necessary,” said Liu [Jingsong], a former president of the influential Chinese Academy of Military Sciences. [emphasis added]

In response to the Communist Party's barbarous threat, veteran political commentator Joe Hung of Taiwan's China Post enthusiastically gushed:

Satire: The China Post's Joe Hung regarding Communist China's threats to invade Taiwan: 'China's generous offer to murder my Taiwanese brethren is the epitome of Confucian benevolence, justice and morality'.

That's truer than you know, Joe. Truer than you know.

China Rejects Rule Of Law To Resolve Its Illegal Territorial Claims, Insists On Law Of The Jungle Instead

Chinese Communist Party angrily announces its intention to flout international law in maritime disputes with the Philippines

Kinda demolishes pro-Communist Joe Hung's lunatic contention that China follows the "kingly way, which is based on benevolence, justice and morality," doesn't it?

No One Expects The Shuanggui-sition

The Belmont Club on Xi Xinping's purges of the Chinese Communist Party:

The Shuanggui pronounced (SHWANG’-gwei) is the secret police of the Communist Party of China, otherwise known as the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection or CCDI. They don’t arrive with flashing lights and thumping rotors. They just show up and then they take you with them, often forever. And they’ve been hard at work arresting tens of thousands of Chinese communists, torturing them to extract confessions and otherwise rounding up anyone connected with Zhou Yongkang, recently the internal security chief of China and head of its oil industry; one of the most powerful men in China now headed for life imprisonment and secret death.

Russia Takes Unorthodox Measures To Stem The Ruble’s Decline

Of course, Putin could stanch the hemorrhaging by calling off his invasion of Ukraine and pulling back his tanks and troops.

But since that's not going to happen, then yes – holy water looks like the Russian economy's last best hope.
