- Comment on Welcome to Russia in 2025. Wave Your Comfortable Modern Life Goodbye. -- [Opinion] 3 weeks ago:
This comes from the Russian government.
Senior lawmaker Vladimir Gutenev, who also heads the State Duma’s Industry and Trade Committee, recently urged Russians to prepare for “regular and necessary” internet shutdowns.
“We’re used to paying with cards or smartphones and having constant connectivity,” he said. “But now it’s important to accept temporary restrictions as a necessity.”
You can look it yourself - in Russia and elsewhere - using the [Shutdown Tracker Optimization Project](Shutdown Tracker Optimization Project):
According to Russian internet monitoring project Na Svyazi, authorities shut down the internet more than 650 times in June alone, most frequently in the cities of Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov, Tula, Omsk, and Rostov.
There is ample evidence that the Russian government frequently shuts down the internet, and this is said not by some media but the Kremlin itself.

- Comment on China wakes to the importance of moving closer to Israel 3 weeks ago:
And considering China’s total exports in 2024 were valued at US$3.58 trillion, it’s kind of insignificant in a sense that it signifies a shift in trade policy.
Compare China’s total trade to the share of a relatively small country like Israel makes no economic sense. Israeli exports are ‘insignificant’ also to the EU and the US, but this says nothing if not related to the size of its economies.
China is the largest seller to Israel among all the countries in the world.
Btw, China is also selling surveillance tech to Israel, a fact that is elegantly ignored by many here on Lemmy who are (rightfully) criticizing Israel and “the West” for its support. We must realize, though, that Israeli authorities are using facial recognition technology to entrench apartheid, as stated by Amnesty and some time ago.
The Israeli authorities are using an experimental facial recognition system known as Red Wolf to track Palestinians and automate harsh restrictions on their freedom of movement … In a new report, Automated Apartheid, [Amnesty International] documents how Red Wolf is part of an ever-growing surveillance network which is entrenching the Israeli government’s control over Palestinians, and which helps to maintain Israel’s system of apartheid […]
Researchers identified the vendors of several cameras they found in occupied East Jerusalem. They documented high-resolution CCTV cameras made by the Chinese company Hikvision installed in residential areas and mounted to military infrastructure; some of these models, according to Hikvision’s own marketing, can plug into external facial recognition software. Amnesty International also identified cameras made by a Dutch company called TKH Security, in public spaces and attached to police infrastructure […]
In an article, a newspaper titled, How Chinese firm linked to repression of Uyghurs aids Israeli surveillance in West Bank.
- Comment on China wakes to the importance of moving closer to Israel 3 weeks ago:
In 2024, China imported goods worth $2.8bn from Israel, while Hong Kong imported an additional $2bn, according to the UN Comtrade database. With the combined $4.8bn, China is worldwide the second-largest buyer of Israeli goods behind the US.
China was, however, the biggest exporter to Israel with $19bn, more than twice the volume of second US with $9.4bn, and Germany with $5.6bn.
That’s more than ‘ambiguous talk’ but has rather long been materializing I would say.

China’s growth can usher in a new era for China–Israel cooperation
“Chinese capital can help Israeli startups expand globally, while Israeli technology can support China’s industrial upgrading,” explains Xiao Junzheng, Chinese Ambassador to Israel.
