Germany says ‘blackmail’ of Ukraine will bring more war
Germany’s foreign minister Annalena Baerbock says Europe must put pressure on the US to stand by its European allies and warned against forcing Kyiv to surrender […] Baerbock’s statements were similar to those of other European leaders discussing how to approach likely changes to transatlantic relations during Trump’s second term.
A person being “detained” could literally just be a traffic stop or any other interaction with a police officer.
No, a traffic stop or an interaction with a police officer isn’t a detention. We are talking here about people who are wrongfully imprisoned for several years.
The vast majority of these people are wrongfully detained after what is called a “closed door trial”. Essentially, this means that often not even their lawyers know what they are accused of. Very often, for example, authorities say it is for “espionage”, though it remains fully unclear what this alleged espionage would have been.
You’ll find a lot of credible reports from very reliable sources. During the pandemic, the situation in China regarding this practice is said to have worsened.
[Edit typo.]
Just read the article and about China’s new ‘guidelines.’
Btw, there are around 10,000 foreigners wrongfully detained in China, most of them are not officially named by their countries.
Could be, I read ‘slams’, but it’s not much difference anyway :-)
Not sure if I understand you right, but unless they do some A/B testing my headline above is the original one. I didn’t edit.
Feel free to change that.
As you will know, there are an awful lot of communities here suffering from another chronic bias, unfortunately. They are negative about Western democracies. Maybe you want to help there, too.
As @naeap@sopuli.xyz said, it’s on their Hugging Face site (here the link again: https://huggingface.co/open-thoughts/OpenThinker-32B), just below the first table are all the links.
Model weights, datasets, data generation code, evaluation code, and training code are all publicly available.
I don’t know what this rant is about, but it has nothing to do with the posted article, at least that’s apparent.
I’d be careful to produce new drugs in China.
‘Ineffective’ generic drugs fuel rare public anger in China
Public anger in China over concerns raised by doctors that generic drugs used in public hospitals are increasingly ineffective has led to a rare response from the government.
Doctors say they believe the country’s drug procurement system, which incentivises the use of cheap generic drugs over original brand-name pharmaceuticals, has led to costs being cut at the expense of people’s safety.
A lot of local political leaders in the Balkans are aligned with China and Russia. This has nothing to do with the fact that China and Russia spread disinformation.
It’s amazing that you are citing the Chinese Ministry but could not find the Australian government’s response.
The Australian Government has expressed its concerns to the Chinese Government following an unsafe and unprofessional interaction with a People’s Liberation Army – Air Force (PLA-AF) aircraft.
On 11 February 2025, a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft conducting a routine maritime surveillance patrol in the South China Sea experienced an unsafe and unprofessional interaction with a PLA-AF J-16 fighter aircraft.
The PLA-AF aircraft released flares in close proximity to the RAAF P-8A aircraft. This was an unsafe and unprofessional manoeuvre that posed a risk to the aircraft and personnel.
Is it britophobic if you criticize the UK? And europhobic when being critical of the EU? - No one would likely say that, I’v never heard it.
It actually is something terrible. If it happens also in the UK and anywhere else doesn’t make it better (but feel free to post a new article here on the UK malpractice, I am curious whether there will be a similar whataboutery like, “But this happens also in China” - what do you expect?).
This is pure whataboutery, and it does not enhance debate culture here. This is why I end this discussion.
Addition:
One report from 2023 already discusses the issue. A brief summary of the report can be read in the article China’s Greed for Lithium is Killing the Tibetan Plateau:
The report further stressed that this large-scale exploitation of Tibet has been initiated and supported by Xi Jinping himself under his “Made in China 2025” campaign. During his visit to Qinghai Province in 2021, Xi called for the escalation of lithium extraction on a large scale. Apart from lithium, Tibet is home to the world’s largest deposits of critical minerals used in various technologies in critical industries like pharmaceuticals and electronics …
However, the continuous mining in the area has had a devastating impact on the ecology of the Tibetan Plateau, raising the pollution level. It not only polluted rivers and streams but, in several cases, even diverted their flow. This has severely affected the flora and fauna of the region. The government in Beijing seems least concerned about the negative effect of continuous mining across the Tibetan Plateau. Its whole focus is on making money …
Rivers have been affected the most, and they are far from recovery. The Tibetan Plateau is the origin of mighty rivers like Mekong and Yarlung Tsangpo (known as Brahmaputra in the Indian sub-continent). These rivers have been the living force for millions of people in Southeast Asia and South Asia …
Another problem is the contamination of soil. During lithium extraction, several chemicals come into contact with soil. Rivers and floods further aid this contaminated soil to reach agricultural fields, affecting the growth of crops. Apart from poisoning the nearby surface water, it also has severe effects on the groundwater …
China has made false promises at platforms like the Conference of Parties (CoP) summits and other environmental protection summits. Little has been achieved in maintaining ecological biospheres around Tibet.
On the contrary, Tibet has become a dumping ground for Beijing. Glaciers are melting, tens and hundreds of small rivers and streams have dried up, the air is polluted, and floods have become normal occurrences. Many critically endangered species are on the verge of extinction. The “roof of the world” is going through the biggest turbulence while Beijing is busy extracting “white gold.”
The report goes on with a lot more of devastating pollutions. And this is just one among many, see, for example, here. You’ll find more on the web.

Your Wikipedia article says basically the same as the linked article, e.g.,
After the collapse, many people on social media condemned the government for negligence. The main point of contention were claims by Serbian Railways Infrastructure that the canopy had not been reconstructed. Another point of controversy was the refusal of CRIC-CCCC [which refers to the Chinese consortium] to share documentation of the reconstruction publicly.
The article’s point fully stands.
The definition says it must include data information (“the complete description of all data used for training, including (if used) of unshareable data, disclosing the provenance of the data, its scope and characteristics, how the data was obtained and selected, the labeling procedures, and data processing and filtering methodologies”), as well as code and paramters. Read your link.
The guys at Hugging Face are working on a more open model based on Deepseek as they also claim it is not fully Open Source.
Thank you for stating that “@Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org is likely a paid actor” being baseless. It indeed is, although your hint is not too friendly.
Then you may have misunderstood the issue.
Edit title for clarity. Thanks.
