CCP uses united front channels, such as hometown associations and chambers of commerce, to extend control over Chinese communities abroad. “The only thing that changed post 2022 is they stopped being so dumb as to put actual police signs on walls abroad.” stuff.co.nz/nz-news/36105600…

they're afraid of elon because he operates with a frightening level of agency and efficiency they would never. we need a thousand more elons tbh
Nothing @elonmusk has done has stopped anybody else attempting to do the same. So he is not hoarding any kind of power. The only areas in which the operations of SpaceX impinge on others in a zero sum way are through things like spectrum use and access to launch sites like KSC - and in both cases they face proper legal regulation, and others have successfully got their share of the limited resource. The handwringing about his supposed unilateral power ignores the fact that other people with plenty of resources could have done what SpaceX has done, but haven’t done so for various reasons that are nothing to do with SpaceX. Why is that?

Very important! China has been practicing blockades in the Pacific for years, including with its maritime militia. As the post indicates below, the PLA is currently surrounding Taiwan with Naval, Coast Guard and air power. We need to prepare for potential escalation.
🚨 中国在168小时内刚刚采取了5项行动。全部围绕台湾。没有一项有名称。 而没有人把这些点联系起来。 行动1:100多艘中国军舰和海警船遍布西太平洋。 台湾11月3日表示,它们已经部署到位。 来自3个战区的4个特混编队横亘在台湾与关岛之间。 一道隔开台湾与其朋友的墙。 行动2:中国3艘航母中有2艘同时在海上。 辽宁舰编队位于菲律宾海。 最新的福建舰于11月2日驶离海南,向东航行。 第三艘山东舰于11月1日出坞,进行海试。 航母已经出动。 行动3:仅11月2日一天,中国军机就出动49架次。 其中36架次在台湾岛以南飞行。 天空也加入了海上的行动。 行动4:第二道、更近的包围圈。 至少6艘海警船,外加海军舰艇,环绕台湾本岛。 截至今天早上6点:10艘中国海军舰艇和3艘公务船。 包围圈仍然在那里。 行动5:没有宣布。没有名称。 北京为其最近4次围台大规模演习都起了名称。 ISW:这可能表明中国能够随心所欲地从空中和海上切断台湾与外界的联系。 在这一切之前: 巴基斯坦对所有台湾航空公司关闭了领空。 4艘中国科考船在连接台湾与世界的海底电缆上方停留或减速。 把这些点联系起来: 100多艘舰船 = 关岛之前的一道墙 2艘航母出动 = 外圈 49架次 = 天空中的包围圈 环岛舰船 = 内圈 没有名称 = 下一次没有任何预警 这不是混乱。 这是一场封锁演练。 一艘接一艘。 一圈接一圈。 无需入侵。 一场没有名称的演习就没有结束日期。 台湾每天早上公布新的舰船数量,而我发布动向。关注我,看下一道包围圈如何形成。
