⚖🆗🇨🇳◼️🏦 — 🇯🇵 Nikkei Asia | Chinese shadow bank Zhongzhi's bankruptcy accepted by Beijing court | Judges recognize the case to be 'complicated' | January 5, 2023:

"HONG KONG - A court in Beijing declared on Friday that it has accepted an application for bankruptcy liquidation by Zhongzhi Enterprise Group, the embattled Chinese wealth manager with substantial debt.

The official document published by Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court acknowledged that Zhongzhi is not capable to pay off their obligations, given the latest situation and the financial data presented by the company.

Zhongzhi is a major trust company that operates outside the banking regulator framework and seen as a considerable player as a shadow bank. A major investment trust under the group's umbrella recently missed payments on a series of investment products, triggering protests from investors."

🚢©️👎🌍 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | Shipping Giant Halts Container Ship Sails To Israel | January 8, 2023:

"Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have targeted commercial vessels with drones and missiles passing through the southern Red Sea. They say the attacks on ships destined for Israel are in solidarity with Palestinians and to facilitate humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. As a result, one major shipping company has had enough of the disruptions and decided to halt sails to Israel to avoid being attacked on the critical waterway that connects to the Suez Canal.

(...)

So far, shippers have diverted more than $200 billion in trade over the last several weeks.

As of Monday morning, there are no container ships with destinations for Europe and North America in the Red Sea."

🇮🇹🇮🇹📹 — On January 7, 2024 AD, a video shared on Italian social medias caused panic and uproar among liberal netizens and Italian Jewish NGOs on internet sphere

During the video, a major 🏴 Fascist demonstration is seen taking place in Acca Larentia, in Rome, capital of Italian Republic, as Italian nationalists throw Roman Salutes, branding "Presente" in tribute to those killed during the 1978 Acca Larentia Massacre.

Such a place is where three young people from Italian Social Right were killed out of ideological hatred by Italian communists in 1978.

As expected, Jewish organizations called it "an absolutely disgusting event", calling Italy's current moment "The Darkest Chapter in Modern Italian History Since 1945", as Fascist organizations in the country, reportedly, get normalized by the current Center-Right Government of Giorgia Meloni.
