On parade day, amid talk of a new world order, Jordyn Haime looks at the notion of China as a "civilizational state" (文明型国家). Arising years before "civilization" joined the core of CCP thought, it connects today to Xi's “Global Civilization Initiative.” chinamediaproject.org/the_ccp_dict...

TW media are now reporting that the representative to Israel has not yet made a pledge to donate, and that discussions are ongoing between the two sides. I thought I would share the full statement I received from Abby Lee, since there wasn't space to include it in the story.
