Geng ... spoke forcefully about the “irreplaceable” need for a “comprehensive and just solution”, that is based on ending Israel’s “provocations” in Jerusalem and the respect for the right of “Muslim worshipers” as well as the “custodianship of Jordan” in the city’s holy sites.

Ex-TikTok executive says Chinese government used app to locate, identify Hong Kong protesters

A former executive at ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns the popular short-video app TikTok, says in a legal filing that some members of the ruling Communist Party used data held by the company to identify and locate protesters in Hong Kong.

Yintao Yu, formerly head of engineering for ByteDance in the United States, says those same people had access to U.S. user data, an accusation that the company denies.

Yu, who worked for the company in 2018, made the allegations in a recent filing for a wrongful dismissal case filed in May in the San Francisco Superior Court. In the documents submitted to the court, he said ByteDance had a "superuser credential" — also known as a "god credential" — that enabled a special committee of Chinese Communist Party members stationed at the company to view all data collected by ByteDance, including those of U.S. users.

Richard Wolff on de-dollarization and the decline of the US empire

https://youtu.be/RbSiN-0xeMA

Key points from Richard Wolff:
* The reserves in central banks has been as high as 78% in dollars but are now at 40% dollars
* The #sanctions placed on #Russia has accelerated the process of #de-dollarization because countries can no longer #trust that the dollar is not going to be used as a #weapon against them
* He is worried that people in the #US don't understand that the US is declining and what this means for the #economy in the US
* There are two paths for the future, either ...
* ... #China taking over the position of the US
* ... or a #multi-polar world

Iranian sources claim that China has ordered 1500 Shahed-136 drones with 4 different types of engines!

This is not the first time they have made such claims, but it is so far the largest number they have claimed.

In the same post, they also mentioned that 2 new factories have been set up to be able to handle the large number of new orders IRI has received from many different countries (Without mentioning any other names than China).

BRICS meet with 'friends' seeking closer ties amid push to expand bloc

— "Senior officials from more than a dozen countries, including àSaudiArabia and #Iran, were in talks on forging closer links with the #BRICS bloc of major emerging economies on Friday as it met to deepen ties and position itself as a counterweight to the West.

BRICS, which now consists of #Brazil, àRussia, #India, #China and #SouthAfrica, is considering expanding its membership, and a growing number of countries have expressed interest in joining.

Once viewed as a loose association of disparate emerging economies, BRICS has in recent years taken more concrete shape, driven initially by China and, since the start of the #Ukraine war in February 2022, with added impetus from Russia."
