Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.

Don't Argentina's claims basically come from it being part of the same Spanish colony? Cause idk that doesn't sound very de-colonialist to me.

but like, on serious note, this is probably just China doing the whole 'East Turkestan is a real country' shit but in reverse.

On the one hand, anything that makes england-cool mad is cool and funny, but why pick literally the only place they settled fair and square?

Britain should give Argentina the Falklands because they won the world cup. It's your own game, England! it's more than fair!

Put all English people in the Falklands, then partition England between Scotland and Wales galaxy-brain

China recently renamed Okinawa to Ryukyu in its internal nomenclature and Xi was reported specifically talking about Ryukyu's historical connections with China.

Seems like we're entering the "two can play at that game" stage of Chinese diplomacy.

Not a huge fan of this. I know why they're doing this but it sucks for the people living on the Falkland Islands being used as pawns in a larger geopolitical game.

Xi needs to start supporting Irish independence and start arming the resistance.

It's the only way if we want to reach that 2024 deadline. data-revolutionary
