The Russian invasion changed everything. All of a sudden, it was clear the best-case scenario was no longer possible—and after years of keeping the NATO option in its back pocket, Finland was ready to whip it out. Practically overnight, public opinion swung massively in favor of joining NATO, and top Finnish politicians from nearly all the country’s political parties got on board: A poll conducted by Finnish broadcaster Yle last May found that three-quarters of Finns wanted their country to join NATO, up from less than one-third in previous years.“Finland would not have joined NATO if it were not for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and Putin’s attack,” said Alexander Stubb, the former Finnish prime minister and finance minister. “This turned the opinion polls around not overnight, but over three nights, and the reason for that was obviously to a certain extent fear, but also realism: That if Putin can slaughter innocent Ukrainians like that, there’s nothing that will stop him from doing the same in Finland.”

CCP banned FB, Twitter and Youtube just to hidden the truth of oversea from own citizens. But most of the Chinese know the truth they have software to overcome and have access to FB, Twitter and Youtube
media in China is in the constitution expected to help the CPC govern the country............and done a very good job for 70 years .......................................................
the people in China are well informed, participate in China's democracy , knowledge based, science based, lives in harmony , and all the good virtues of the chinese civilisation.
forget america hegemony, forget the cold war...america has a lot of problems they cannot solve and is not even an attractive proposition for the global south.
only christians and crusaders see the world in terms of good vs evil...............the rest of us sees the world in all its complexities and beauty and diversities and geo politics. ..and american hegemony is giving too much stress to the world. A declining hegemon always creates a lot of chaos. ..................................america is a like a child who breaks every thing because he cannot remain number one.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
