A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well, I guess the US has to choose since they refused to manage all three in one swoop: Help protect your biggest economic partner from Russian threats, manage your second biggest partner out of south-east asia colonialism or manage your border (and in the process make meat and veg more expensive)....

This is the best summary I could come up with:
"[Brawner] told me on one occasion, Huang confronted him and even aggressively pointed at him while saying: 'Don't provoke us,'" Ejercito recounted to Tagalog-language news channel One PH on Tuesday.
The archipelago, where at least three of China's artificial islands have been fully militarized, is located within the Philippines' 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone, giving it a sovereign right over its underwater resources.
On Wednesday, the lawmaker told CNN Philippines: "I reiterate not to cut ties but for him to be replaced with someone more diplomatic so that we can still talk and have communication lines open."
China's envoy was summoned to Manila's foreign affairs department for a formal rebuke earlier on Monday, when he also delivered his own protest on behalf of Beijing, the Chinese Embassy said.
The consecutive days of clashes over the weekend happened against a backdrop of other "gray zone" maneuvers by China's maritime militia fleet, which was seen massed around Whitsun Reef, claimed by the Philippines, this week, according to satellite photographs.
Additionally, a civilian-led "Christmas convoy," which had planned to deliver provisions to Philippine front-line troops and fishermen in the Spratlys, was forced to turn back on Sunday after "constant shadowing" by China's coast guard and navy, its organizer said.
