It seems all that now stands between China and the regime’s desire to drag Taiwan under its direct control is the strength of America’s hand, which Beijing may soon force Washington to show. Taiwan and U.S. allies in Asia hope America isn’t bluffing. “Any actions and tricks to split China are doomed to failure and will meet with the people’s condemnation and the punishment of history,” Xi said, using common Chinese rhetoric framing the island’s independence as unacceptable “separatist” behavior....
And in some ways it was. As Jiang’s longtime protege and hatchet man, Zeng had just engineered a political coup. Two thirds of the new Standing Committee’s members are Jiang allies, ensuring that the 76-year-old former leader will be a formidable presence as the party’s elder statesman. China’s first orderly succession since 1949 was a deep-reaching one. Nearly half of 300-odd top party positions are filled by new faces; all but Hu are new to the Standing Committee....
“China called last night our top trade people and said ’let’s get back to the table’ so we will be getting back to the table and I think they want to do something.

This is a very positive development for the world,” Trump said while speaking at the G-7 Summit in Biarritz, France, on Monday....

As I wrote in this week’s Sports Talk column, though, the sooner China gets the job done the better: Updates to follow as the match progresses. Photo credit: CFP 0 votes
Tens of thousands of Hong Kongers swamped the area around the consulate on Sunday, with many bearing American flags and placards calling for the Trump administration to intervene and assist the anti-China protesters. Congress is returning to the Hill this week, and among lawmakers’ legislative priorities is the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019. The bill would allow the U.S. to impose sanctions on Hong Kong and Chinese officials seen to be undermining the autonomy of the territory....
The Chinese government claims democratically-ruled Taiwan as part of its territory, but the island says it’s already a functionally independent country whose public has shown no interest in being ruled from Beijing. The U.S. sees a Western-leaning Taipei as vital to its own national security and has remained Taiwan’s strongest international backer for decades. However, as China’s hard power has grown under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, its People’s Liberation Army has expanded its capabilities and reached further from the mainland, with a view to consolidate the country’s maritime and territorial claims in the East and South China seas, and eventually project its forces into the Pacific Ocean....

Yang, the 2014 world champion, notched up a Games record total of 249.1 in Palembang, ahead of India’s Deepak Kumar at 247....
In comparison to the previous trailer, the new Chinese trailer is less about Captain Natalie Artemis (Millia Jovovich) and her military team and more about how she and the Hunter (Tony Jaa) overcome the language barrier to take on the giant monsters that roam the land.

Opening a loot box in Overwatch is essentially rolling dice to see what in-game items pop up - it’s like a game of chance. Because Overwatch players in China could purchase loot boxes for the game, Blizzard had to inform Chinese gamers what the odds were of getting each in-game item from those loot boxes. According to a customer service staffer’s post in the Chinese Overwatch forum, Patch 1.12 for the game will give Chinese players the option of buying in-game credits to spend on whatever emotes, icons, or character skins they want....
The debris fragment will fly close to the manned orbiting laboratory on November 12 at around 1 a.m. UTC, or 8 p.m. ET on November 11, prompting specialists to call for an evasive maneuver.

When several routers use the same channel, performance decreases. The likelihood that you will encounter channel interference increases if the router is older and of the 2....
The new and improved ‘Road to WrestleMania’ mode aims to change up the stale formula used in past installments of the franchise by cutting down the number of superstars that players can choose from.
