Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

And when China of all places has the balls to tell you this, you know you done messed up.
This is international diplomacy 101 for China.
They're very vocal about the perceived infractions of others, while refusing to acknowledge their own.
Its more about shaping the perceptions of their own citizens than whatever foreigners might think.
In this case, theyre dead right ofc.
Unlike the US. /s
US citizens are pretty vocal about the failings of their nation. Good luck finding that in unimprisoned China nationals.
For now...
Go to the south sometime and ask them about their cool confederate flags.
I didn't imply ALL of them thought the same way. My point was that Americans still have the freedom to speak up (for now)
This is where you were wrong. We are an ignorant, stupid people.
Some*
*far too many
Ironically they will just as likely go on a tirade against the guvmint, for entirely different reasons.
Are you referring to the people who voted for Trump? Vocal, yes, accurate, no.
Pretty much the opposite actually. Trump's in power, why would his supporters fear being vocal right now
but fail to act on it
I mean, they learned from the best superpower of the last half century. At least they haven't gotten to exporting liberation by force stage of the playbook quite yet.
