Details about the transfer of specific equipment, including naval vessels, will be worked out in subsequent talks, the ministry said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kishi’s meeting with his Vietnamese counterpart, Phan Van Giang, in Hanoi coincided with a two-day visit to the Vietnamese capital by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. He wrapped up his visit by saying China plans to donate 3 million doses of its coronavirus vaccine to Vietnam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The agreement comes two weeks after the U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris travelled to Vietnam to strengthen ties with the Southeast Asian nation. During the tour, Harris urged countries to stand up against “bullying” by China in the South China Sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Japan’s Defense Ministry said in a statement that Kishi and Giang agreed on the importance of maintaining freedom of navigation and overflight in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as cooperation in various defense areas including cybersecurity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tokyo regularly protests the Chinese coast guard’s presence near the Japanese-controlled Senkaku islands, which China also claims and calls Diaoyu. Japanese officials say Chinese vessels routinely violate Japanese territorial waters around the islands, sometimes threatening fishing boats.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>

            <title>Why 536 was ‘the worst year to be alive&amp;#39;</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5191188</link>
            <description>TIL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Ask medieval historian Michael McCormick what year was the worst to be alive, and he&amp;#39;s got an answer: &amp;quot;536.&amp;quot; Not 1349, when the Black Death wiped out half of Europe. Not 1918, when the flu killed 50 million to 100 million people, mostly young adults. But 536. In Europe, &amp;quot;It was the beginning of one of the worst periods to be alive, if not the worst year,&amp;quot; says McCormick, a historian and archaeologist who chairs the Harvard University Initiative for the Science of the Human Past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mysterious fog plunged Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia into darkness, day and night—for 18 months. &amp;quot;For the sun gave forth its light without brightness, like the moon, during the whole year,&amp;quot; wrote Byzantine historian Procopius. Temperatures in the summer of 536 fell 1.5°C to 2.5°C, initiating the coldest decade in the past 2300 years. Snow fell that summer in China; crops failed; people starved. The Irish chronicles record &amp;quot;a failure of bread from the years 536–539.&amp;quot; Then, in 541, bubonic plague struck the Roman port of Pelusium, in Egypt. What came to be called the Plague of Justinian spread rapidly, wiping out one-third to one-half of the population of the eastern Roman Empire and hastening its collapse, McCormick says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historians have long known that the middle of the sixth century was a dark hour in what used to be called the Dark Ages, but the source of the mysterious clouds has long been a puzzle. Now, an ultraprecise analysis of ice from a Swiss glacier by a team led by McCormick and glaciologist Paul Mayewski at the Climate Change Institute of The University of Maine (UM) in Orono has fingered a culprit. At a workshop at Harvard this week, the team reported that a cataclysmic volcanic eruption in Iceland spewed ash across the Northern Hemisphere early in 536. Two other massive eruptions followed, in 540 and 547. The repeated blows, followed by plague, plunged Europe into economic stagnation that lasted until 640, when another signal in the ice—a spike in airborne lead—marks a resurgence of silver mining, as the team reports in Antiquity this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.science.org/news/2018/11/why-536-was-worst-year-be-alive' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.science.org/news/2018/11/why-53...t-year-be-alive&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/image/B6cqaQ' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://pictr.com/images/2021/09/05/B6cqaQ.md.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/image/B6c9k5' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://pictr.com/images/2021/09/05/B6c9k5.md.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Trending in China: Pregnant woman pushed off cliff</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5144802</link>
            <description>&lt;br /&gt;A pregnant woman was pushed off a 34-metre-high cliff in Thailand by her husband in June 2019, leaving her with 17 broken bones. She was also forced to abort her unborn child. The man tried to take her money to pay off a 2 million yuan (US&amp;#036;309,000) gambling debt through attempted murder. That, and more trending videos from China this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[YOUTUBE]oxnB4P71wuo[/YOUTUBE]</description>

The US does not have an extradition treaty with the country, but it does require anyone acting on behalf of a foreign power to register with US authorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All eight are charged with conspiring to act as illegal agents for a foreign government, and are accused of participating in a covert operation that officials say was built on intimidation, bullying and “very disturbing” tactics to pressure Chinese nationals living overseas and sought by Beijing to return home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The alleged plot was known as “Operation Fox Hunt” and “Operation Skynet,” court records show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is the first case of its kind, and I think it is significant,” said Seth DuCharme, the Acting US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assistant Attorney-General for National Security John Demers and FBI Director Christopher Wray attend a virtual news conference at the Department of Justice in Washington on October 28 [Sarah Silbiger/Pool via Reuters]&lt;br /&gt;“What makes the case really stand out is that it directly involves the efforts of a foreign power to conduct unilateral activity here on US soil, in violation of our laws.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokesman from the Chinese embassy did not have an immediate comment in response to the allegations.&lt;br /&gt;‘Legitimate’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The criminal complaint alleges that the group plotted to target a former Chinese government employee and his wife and daughter, who have been living in New Jersey since 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The harassment included affixing “a threatening note” to their door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The note allegedly said: “If you are willing to go back to mainland and spend 10 years in prison, your wife and children will be all right.  That’s the end of this matter&amp;#33;”, the Justice Department said in a press release. They also received threats on social media, as well as packages containing taped video threats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“With today’s charges, we have turned the PRC’s Operation Fox Hunt on its head,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers said in the statement. “The five defendants the FBI arrested this morning on these charges of illegally doing the bidding of the Chinese government here in the United States now face the prospect of prison.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to notices posted by China with Interpol in 2012 and 2014, China listed the New Jersey man as a fugitive wanted on charges of embezzlement, abuse of power and accepting bribes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three of the defendants – Zhu Yong, Hongru Jin, and Michael McMahon – were arrested on Wednesday in New York and New Jersey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A judge order McMahon released on a &amp;#036;500,000 bond secured by a New Jersey property, and declined a request by the government to detain Yong Zhu pending trial. He was also released on bail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I don’t understand it because I didn’t do anything that is illegal,” Yong Zhu said through an interpreter. “I was performing a legitimate profession as a driver.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two others – Rong Jing and Zheng Congying – were arrested in California. The last three defendants – Zhu Feng, Hu Ji, and Li Minjun – remain at large.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The arrests are among a series of recent actions the Trump administration has taken against China, a country President Donald Trump regards as a key rival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In July, the Justice Department charged hackers working with the Chinese government with targeting firms developing vaccines for the coronavirus and stealing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of intellectual property and trade secrets from companies across the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/10/28/us-charges-8-with-targeting-chinese-dissidents-for-harassment' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/10/28/u...-for-harassment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;SCMP source&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/3107507/us-charges-8-involvement-chinas-operation-fox-hunt-saying-they-are' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/310...saying-they-are&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TLDR: CCP involved in intimidate oversea chinese, Now US took action on them</description>

            <title>Jackie Chan’s Mansion Seized by Authorities</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5019634</link>
            <description>now u know  whats happen when u involve with china politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;A Beijing mansion belonging to movie star Jackie Chan has been seized by authorities and is now being put up for auction. Details are still thin, but some analysts believe Jackie Chan may have been targeted for alleged tax evasion, related to promotions he did from 2006 to 2008 for a land company in Beijing, which paid him 20.6 million renminbi that was directly converted into credit for his purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, questions are being raised on why now, given that Jackie Chan’s family lived in the home for 13 years. And why have Beijing authorities seemingly ignored Jackie Chan’s influence in China, Hong Kong, and even in the United States, especially given his relative positive stance on the Chinese leadership, in order to seize and auction his mansion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The move may be related to factional battles within the Party. Jackie Chan’s ties are through the network of former vice chairman Zeng Qinghong, who was under the Jiang Faction. This is the main faction fighting with the faction of Xi Jinping, the current head of the Party. The timing of this move appears to be related to the recent end of the Party’s high level Beidaihe meeting, after which Xi Jinping launched new purges targeted areas of society still controlled by the Jiang faction.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.ntd.com/jackie-chans-mansion-seized-by-authorities-as-his-ties-to-chinas-factional-battles-surface_502002.html' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.ntd.com/jackie-chans-mansion-se...ace_502002.html&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>China Detains Australian Host for Chinese State TV</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5019627</link>
            <description>I dont like u, I detain u.&lt;br /&gt;u tak suka u keluar, tapi tak boleh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;SYDNEY, Australia — Investigators in China have detained an Australian journalist who has been a host on Chinese state-run television, the Australian foreign ministry said on Monday, opening up another potential point of friction in testy relations between the two countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The journalist, Cheng Lei, who has worked on English-language business news for CGTN, the Chinese international broadcaster, was detained in mid-August, the Australian foreign minister, Marise Payne, said in an emailed statement. Australian diplomats were allowed to speak to Ms. Cheng last week, over a video link to a detention site, the minister said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Australian statement gave no details of any accusations against Ms. Cheng, and the Chinese government has not commented publicly on her case. But her detention could become another irritant in Australia’s relations with China, especially if she is charged with serious offenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Australia’s economy depends heavily on exports to China, with its vast appetite for iron ore and other resources; even so, the Australian government has become increasingly critical of Chinese foreign policy and political influence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Richard McGregor, a senior fellow at the Lowy Institute in Sydney who studies Chinese politics and foreign policy, said it was unclear whether Ms. Cheng’s nationality was a factor in her detention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was “not clear it is about her being an Aussie,” Mr. McGregor said. “Though that will surely become part of how her case is handled, on our side as well.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for reading The Times.&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to The Times&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Cheng’s family and Australian diplomats may have to wait for a long time before they hear details of any accusation against her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Australian public broadcaster, ABC, reported that she was being held under “residential surveillance,” a broad power that allows the Chinese authorities to keep detainees in secretive custody for up to six months, denied visits by family members or lawyers. The Australian foreign ministry did not confirm that report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Cheng’s two children have been staying with family members in Melbourne, Australia, and the family said it was doing all it could to support her and had nothing more to say, said the ABC report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Ms. Cheng’s detention, the Australian government was at loggerheads with Beijing over another detained Australian of Chinese heritage, Yang Hengjun, a writer and businessman also known as Yang Jun. He has been held in China since early 2019 and was indicted earlier this year on espionage accusations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In June, Chinese authorities indicted two Canadians — Michael Kovrig, a former diplomat, and Michael Spavor, a businessman — on spying charges. Their cases have ignited accusations that Beijing is using them as pawns to pressure Canada to refuse the extradition of a Huawei executive, Meng Wanzhou, to the United States, where she faces fraud charges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More broadly, relations between Australia and China have cooled after a series of quarrels that reflect deepening distrust of Beijing’s intentions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Australia’s right-of-center government pushed through legislation in 2018 against foreign political interference that was widely seen as focused on Chinese Communist Party-sponsored activities. In 2018, Australia blocked potential participation by Huawei in building the country’s 5G wireless network. This year, Australia led calls for an international inquiry into origins in China of the coronavirus pandemic, angering Beijing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chinese official media, especially Global Times, a loudly nationalist tabloid, have regularly scorned Australia, describing it as a servile follower of the Trump administration. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has imposed additional tariffs on Australian barley and has launched inquiries into Australian wines that could also result in tariffs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Cheng, however, appeared eager to promote better business relations. On her Twitter account, she described herself as “passionate orator of the China story,” and has worked for CGTN for about eight years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She grew up in Australia, the daughter of Chinese migrants, and after working in business in Australia and China, Ms. Cheng became a journalist, she said in an interview last year for the Australia China Business Council.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What Australia does is it frees your mind,” she said. “You know that if you have capabilities you can try.”&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>
