The sanction regime of president Donald Trump. I still don't understand why a country would want to dictate to another country how it should run its internal affair. They want a great power like China to take orders from them, it's too funny. |

Parkleader:Well i won't say America rescued China from Japan. Mao Zedong's communist forces drove Japanese troops out of China. America waged those wars against Japan because of its own selfish interest in the Asia pacific region. |

Bells have tolled in Japan's Hiroshima for the 75th anniversary of the world's first atomic bombing, with ceremonies downsized due to the coronavirus pandemic and the city's mayor urging nations to reject self-centred nationalism and commit to nuclear disarmament more seriously. Though thousands usually pack the Peace Park in central Hiroshima to pray, sing and lay paper cranes as a symbol of peace, entrance to Thursday's memorial ceremony was sharply limited, with only survivors, relatives and a handful of foreign dignitaries allowed to attend. Participants, many of them dressed in black and wearing face masks, stood for a moment of silence at 8:15 am, the exact time that the atomic bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy", exploded on August 6, 1945, obliterating Hiroshima and killing 140,000 of an estimated population of 350,000. Thousands more died later of injuries and radiation-related illnesses. "On August 6, 1945, a single atomic bomb destroyed our city. Rumour at the time had it that 'nothing will grow here for 75 years,'" Mayor Kazumi Matsui said in a speech afterwards. "And yet, Hiroshima recovered, becoming a symbol of peace." He called on Japan's government to heed the appeal of survivors and sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and urged the world to come together to face global threats. "When the 1918 flu pandemic attacked a century ago, it took tens of millions of lives and terrorised the world because nations fighting World War I were unable to meet the threat together," he said. "A subsequent upsurge in nationalism led to World War II and the atomic bombings. We must never allow this painful past to repeat itself. Civil society must reject self-centred nationalism and unite against all threats." Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, in his speech at the ceremony, said Japan is committed to nuclear weapons ban but said a nuclear-free world could not be achieved overnight and that it has to start from dialogue between opposite sides. "Japan's position is to serve as a bridge between different sides and patiently promote their dialogue and actions to achieve a world without nuclear weapons," Abe said. Elderly survivors, whose average age now exceeds 83, however, criticised what they called the Japanese government's reluctance to listen to those who suffered from the atomic bombing. "Many survivors are offended by the prime minister of this country who does not sign the nuclear weapons prohibition treaty," said Keiko Ogura, 84, who survived the atomic bombing at age eight. "We need non-nuclear states to help us and pressure the Japanese government into signing." The bombing of Hiroshima was followed by the bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, an attack that instantly killed more than 75,000 people. Japan announced its surrender just days later on August 15, 1945, and some historians argue the bombings ultimately saved lives by avoiding a land invasion that might have been significantly more deadly. But in Japan, the attacks are widely regarded as war crimes because they targeted civilians indiscriminately and caused unprecedented destruction. The United States has never apologised for the bombings. In 2016, Barack Obama became the first sitting US president to visit Hiroshima, where he offered no apology but embraced survivors and called for a world free of nuclear weapons. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were key stops on Pope Francis's first trip to Japan last year, where he denounced the "unspeakable horror" of the attacks.

ehinmowo:US is the most dangerous and devilish of all those countries you have mentioned. Do you know why? America is the only country that operates a first use nuclear doctrine/policy in other words, America reserves the right to use nukes during war time even in a conventional war, isn't that scary? During the Korean war there was pressure on Harry S.Truman to use nuclear weapons on China and NK, General Douglas MacArthur a military commander mounted a heavy pressure on Washington but Harry Truman refused, he even retired the General so as to save America from a nuclear catastrophe. During the Cuban missile crisis General Curtis Lemay placed an option of attacking Russia and Cuba with nukes. He exerted a maximum pressure on president JF Kennedy but the president would always ask a question. "If Russia retaliates after we have attacked how many would die in America" His war hawks would reply thousands but they would assure him that America would win a nuclear war with the USSR. The president would reply them "And you call that victory after thousands have died in the U.S? " He refused and opted for a naval blockade of Cuba. Just imagine what would happen if Trump was the one in charge at the time. During the Vietnam war too, that was how some war hawks were advising President Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon to use nukes on Vietnam. China, NK that you mentioned possess them for detterence sake., even Iran would have nukes for deterrence sake. Though every nuclear armed country is dangerous because human beings are unpredictable, if Adolf Hitler had nukes he would have used them in order to carry out his conquest with ease. America's nuclear posture is very dangerous. |
Originality007:Lols. You love a man who hate your kind btw how many moniker do you have on NL tolexy007, originality007, akureistson and another one that starts with Tolani you are trying o. |
Originality007:Tolexy I've advised you to stop smoking this thing it's not good for your health. Quit before it's too late. |
Unnerve:US cannot disarm, in fact no nuclear power would want to do that. Obama made a speech in Prague on April 5, 2009 that he wanted to see a world without nuclear weapons and that if it didn't happen in his lifetime the time to start was now. He said the same thing in July that year in London when he met Russian president Dmitri Medvedev. In Sept 23 that year he addressed the same nuclear disarmament topic to the U.N General Assembly. On October 9 he was awarded a nobel peace prize. During his 8 years as president he committed trillions into the modernisation of America's nuclear arsenal building high tech nukes Nuclear disarmament is an elusive topic among arms control and proliferation experts. How do we achieve that? Even if great powers like U.S, Russia and China are ready to disarm what about North Korea who sees nukes as detterrent. What about Israel, India, Pakistan. Will these lesser nuclear powers be willing to disarm? Even if they are willing how do we set up a body that monitors and inspect these countries from building them in secret cause Syria once tried that. Nuclear disarmament is a big and very elusive topic. |
Na Trump wall dem wan build? |
mysticwarrior:It's too late, nuclear weapons are here to stay. America has so much soft power and conventional military power that nuclear weapons in the possession of other countries counteracts, doesn’t neutralize but severely levels the field. In other words, America's strength would be even more overwhelming in a non-nuclear world because it couldn’t be threatened by nukes North Korea sees nuclear weapons as the only weapon that can deter America and other agressors or bullies giving it up would be suicidal. In a world where America flexes its muscle and bully weaker nations nuclear weapons would always create a balance. If America behaves responsibly some countries won't see nuclear weapons as weapons that guarantee their survival. But America has turned the international stage into a blood spot and some countries won't risk their destruction by leaving themselves defensless. |
Let it begin with you sir. What you have been dishing out lately leaves much to be desired. |
DexterousOne:You talked about debt trap diplomacy but you should blame that on African leaders. China isn't forcing its loans on any country. If your leaders were responsible they won't have the need to approach China for loans. Every upcoming power would like to dominate other countries. If Nigeria had its way like China Nigeria would do same. Every country wants to spread its tentacles and have a grip on countries that are rich in resources. Put the blame on your leaders not China. But China is still responsible in its approach unlike the unscrupulous western imperialists. Do an anlysis of what China is doing and compare it with the western imperialists past and present and judge. The scramble for Africa continues we all know that but blame it on African leaders. |
DexterousOne:What is the basis for the global concern over China aside the propaganda we are being offered. U.S and its western allies want us to believe China is a threat when we know that they are the real devil who have killed millions and unseated democratic regimes around the world and replaced them with brutal and corrupt dictators. How many countries has China stole from through slavery/colonialism? How many countries has China invaded? They don't even meddle in the internal affairs of other countries. They don't sponsor insurgents or plot regime change in other countries like the west has being doing for decades. Global spying or espionage, America ranks number one so they should stop shouting and let us rest. Edward Snowden revealed how America hacked China and Hong Kong for years. I'm not supporting China here every country needs espionage but America should stop acting like a saint here. We are not idiots we know what they do we have read them in books and we hear them in news. |
FlordFlorez:I know you have nothing to offer. Look at the negative replies you have been getting from your funny and meaningless comment. |
FlordFlorez:Cmon engage me intellectually if you know what you are saying. What has communism got to do with TikTok. That your comment reeks of ignorance. |
PerfectlyPerfect:Don't mind him, He has been brainwashed by his slave masters. Edward Snowden in 2013 revealed how U.S hacked and spied on China and Hong Kong for years but you won't hear these slaves talk about it because they are uninformed, China is the devil according to America their slave master. |
FlordFlorez:Communism that you don't know how it originated. Your slave masters in the west have brainwashed you to believe communism is evil. |
SHENZHEN (Reuters) - China’s Huawei Technologies snatched the title of biggest smartphone seller from Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) in the second quarter, underscoring the resilience of the China market even as global demand for phones plunged amid the pandemic. Huawei shipped 55.8 million devices in the April-June period, trumping Samsung’s 53.7 million, according to data from research firm Canalys. The Chinese company has felt the heat of U.S. sanctions that have disrupted its business overseas, but the latest numbers show its rising dominance in its home market. Huawei now sells nearly two-thirds of its handsets in China, which took an early hit from the coronavirus pandemic but has since reclaimed ground as new cases have dwindled. Smartphone makers dominant in other countries are still struggling as new virus cases continue to rise. Huawei’s sales fell 5% from the same quarter a year earlier, while South Korea’s Samsung posted a 30% drop due to weak demand in key markets including Brazil, the United States and Europe. “Our business has demonstrated exceptional resilience in these difficult times,” a Huawei spokesman said. Domestic sales rose 8%, but Huawei’s overseas shipments fell 27% in the quarter. The company’s stint as top seller may prove short-lived once other markets recover, a senior Huawei employee with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. Samsung said on Thursday it expects smartphone demand to pick up in the second half of the year. The United States has effectively blocked Huawei from using Google’s (GOOGL.O) services, damaging the attractiveness of the Chinese company’s phones abroad, and limited its access to chips crucial for 5G networking. S&P Global Ratings said in a report on Wednesday the latest restrictions on Huawei could wipe out $25 billion in revenue from several Asia-based firms. Huawei has yet to publicly address the impact these curbs will have on its operations. It remains unclear how much of Huawei’s second-quarter sales were driven by its 5G smartphones and high-end models that are most vulnerable to the restrictions, said Nicole Peng, vice president of Mobility at Canalys.
