News outlets worldwide have been warning that China “aims to invade Taiwan.” And with elections on the island upcoming, local politicians have called them “a choice between war and peace.” But what’s the root of the China-Taiwan dispute? Here’s a quick guide.
Taiwan has been one with mainland China since the Qing dynasty took over the island in 1683. In 1895, the Qing dynasty handed over Taiwan to the expanding Japanese Empire. Meanwhile, in 1912, revolutionary forces overthrew the Qing dynasty and established the Republic of China (ROC). When the Japanese invaded China in 1937, the Chinese led a fierce liberation war against them under the leadership of the nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) and the Communist Party of China (CPC). Following the end of WWII, civil war erupted in China until the CPC eventually defeated the KMT in 1949, leaving Chiang Kai-shek’s KMT to retreat to Taiwan along with almost two million people, including China’s bureaucratic and political elite and rich industrialists to establish the ROC on the island.
When the CPC prepared to reunify Taiwan with the rest of China, the US militarily intervened to prevent the communist revolution from spreading to the island. In 1979, the US started to recognize the People’s Republic of China (PRC), pursuing a policy of dual recognition, only further driving a wedge between Taiwan and the mainland by promoting Taiwan as a nation separate from China.
The government in Taiwan has since shifted to the neoliberal Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which pursues a hawkish stance towards the PRC. With the imperialist rivalry between the US and China having intensified in recent decades, the DPP, together with the US, has been trying to prevent any attempts at peaceful reunification of Taiwan with mainland China.

Police attacked communist protesters in Berlin causing severe injuries. The pretext, according to police, was "illegal" Palestine solidarity slogans. Israel’s war on Gaza dominated this year's "Luxemburg Liebknecht Lenin" (LLL) demonstration.
At least one arrested person was released after thousands demanded their release by refusing to move on and renewed clashes with the police broke out. The police then tried to arrest more people, prevented by the activists holding tightly together.
The LLL demonstration in Berlin is the annual highlight of communist and socialist organizations in Germany. Thousands from around the country mobilize to march together to the "Cemetery of Socialists" in the capital to commemorate the three communist leaders Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht and Vladimir Lenin.

Stranger Things star Brett Gelman stands with Israel and co-star Noah Schnapp
"I saw nothing wrong with the original thing that he said... He held up a sticker saying Zionism is sexy, and he said Hamas is ISIS. Hamas is a terrorist organisation, and Zionism is the belief that Israel should exist, and that's sexy.”

Patrice Lumumba was killed on this day in 1961
Born on July 2, 1925, Lumumba was the democratically elected prime minister of the Congo and sought to nationalise the natural resources of the country. This angered Washington and the former colonial power of Belgium. These actors, with help from the British and local stooges, eliminated the democratically elected leader.

Statement issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces
In support of the injustice of the Palestinian people and in support of the steadfastness of our brothers in the Gaza Strip, and in response to the American-British aggression on our country.
The naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a targeted operation against the American ship "Jincko Pickardi" in the Gulf of Aden with a number of appropriate naval missiles, and the strike was accurate and direct.
The Yemeni Armed Forces will not hesitate to target all sources of threat in the Arab and Red Seas, within the legitimate right of defending dear Yemen and continuing to support the oppressed Palestinian people.
The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that a response to American and British attacks is inevitable, and that any new aggression will not go unanswered and unpunished.
The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm the continuation of maritime movement in the Arab and Red Seas to all destinations around the world, except for the ports of occupied Palestine. Its operations against Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine will not cease until the aggression is stopped and the siege on the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.
God is sufficient for us and He is the best guardian, yes, our Lord is the best supporter.
Long live Yemen, dignified and independent,
Victory to Yemen and all free people of the nation.

Ryugyong Eye Hospital in the DPRK.
When the west spreads lies about the Korea being a backwards place all you have to do is have a look at its infrastructure.
A modern hospital fully stocked with the facilities to adequately treat patients. All things that the eye ward in the Liverpool royal could not be accused of.
