Yes and no.

When hardware makers take an attempt to make something average customer friendly, they end in something like Android.

Interesting that decade ago Nokia tried to roll out smartphone on real Linux (Debian fork), not that Android mockup over Linux kernel, pretty useable, unlike Linux based Motorolas and it was a huge success, Nokia N9 sells outnumbered all their Windows Phone phones combined despite N9 was not sold in some regions. Guess how that ended. Microsoft bought Nokia and closed its Linux department. Then Nokia disappeared. Interesting that Microsoft totally ignored Android, and never tried to interfere with it. Android phones was perfectly OK for corporations, but not real Linux ones.

So i doubt that any corporation will make something Linux based preserving all openness and user control.

To be fair, it isn't confirmed that Intel is compromised, the ME has legitimate uses.

You are right, but in security aspect of computer tech there are no presumtion of innocence. Thing should be proven not compromised, not vice versa.

Also, that legitimate uses are accounted as an additional attack vector.

Really, the whole idea of AMT (ancestor of ME) was strange since the beginning. OK, you need to manage large fleet of employees laptops, so why not just boot them from corporate network and use network drives? Everything will be perfectly manageable on company server, no potential threat of leaking sensitive data through "lost laptop" or installed by user malware. It will even reduce costs, because that laptops will not need HDDs/SSDs.

Serious servers usually have IPMI controller, but the main difference is that servers don't usually have display and keyboard connected and it is annoying to change something in BIOS or reinstall OS from scratch when you have hundreds of them. So the IPMI goal is quite different than one of ME/PSP.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that routers are compromised.

That's proven thing, really. Multiple things. From outdated firmware with vulnerabilities on few years old router with dropped support to well-known "engineereing" or default passwords.

And meanwhile Tomato and DD-WRT is just an outdated versions of OpenWRT with blobs from official firmware for the sake of tiny performance goal on specific hardware. There is no any sense in using them instead of OpenWRT unless you participate in dick measuring contest with a buddy on a maximum possible throughput value.

A neutralized Intel ME has 300 kB of code running, which is too small for a network stack.

Chek lwIP, you will be surprised. Full scale TCP/IP stack with only dozens of kb footprint. Pretty good thing, I use it often in small networking projects. More than enough for ME needs.

Is it the norm now to solder wifi chips onto the motherboard?

IDK, but I already saw few where everything is soldered on motherboard, including WiFi chip and SSD. Of course you still could find decent machines where CPU, memory, WWAN, WiFi, SSD are in sockets, but they are mostly expensive top things. Most modern laptops have CPU and at least part of memory soldered. I think soon we will have everything soldered laptops only. Sockets reduce profits, when a customer could just add some memory, replace CPU or SSD or replace WiFi card with a better one.

Please argue about posting screenshots with text information also. It is kind of severe mental ilness - making a screenshot of a text message and post that shit instead of plain text with a link to source. Shitty posts are annoying but, unfortunately inevitable thing, but this....

Another way they could activate it would be if they controlled your router.

Use OpenWRT on your home/office router. Small routers use simple CPUs without ME like things. So replacing firmware will get rid of any backdors manufacturer could install with original firmware.

Since it has access to memory, it can write an arbitrary program into memory, and overwrite OS kernel routines or data structures to prevent that program from being detected, while allowing the OS to schedule it like any other program.

Motherboard chipset manufacturer have to know beforehand exactly what OS you will use on your computer to make it possible. It could work to some extent with Windows/iOS, but impossible with Linux/BSD/Haiku etc, since there are endless variants of possible kernel configurations and versions and each have different addresses and internal structures organisation. You will need something really sophisticated in ME to make it possible.

So to summarise - use opensource from trusted sources anywhere possible to reduce probability of exploiting or using backdoors. Opensource is not a panacea, and need some RTFM and concious setup and adjustment but at least it will make surveillance on you much more complex.

There is a drawback, really. Using opensource make you different from regular sheeple and so more noticeable. There could be another approach used - use typical Windows/iOS in default configuration inside qemu VM running on top of opensource system to look like regular user for internet. Do not store any sensitive data in VM, and have a backup copy of VM disk image with clean installed system in case malicious actors break into your dummy honeypot system. Or you could just use a copy of clean backup image each time you start VM for internet browsing.

A neutralized ME doesn't have an attack surface anymore. The network stack is disabled, so an attacker would need physical access.

We can't be sure about that until ME code will be reverse engineered fully and replaced with something opensource wih same functionality.

While you use proprietary blob of any kind, you are potentially vulnerable.

You can replace the built-in wifi chip with an Atheros one to make sure.

It's not that easy, since Atheros chip will have another pinout and you can't just desolder old one and solder Atheros instead.

Also it's spelt 'sure', not 'shure'.

Thanks. Looks like I fell under brand name imprinting. :)

Practical consequences are a great educator

I'm afraid that its for normal people who live in real world. Some could be lazy, but they will adapt as you say.

Those I talk about will just extinct and that's all. They will not be able to do something practical and productive, they are not only unaware that food could be grown cooked by themselves and not only bought in McDonalds, but they also unaware that it is possible to learn how to grow and cook food. There is no such thing as learning something by test and trial in their "new reality". And that could be unsafe and dirty.

Really the worst thing with that modern progressive education is that it completely exterminated learning to learn, not even talking about thinking, research and all that things. It produces people with fixed perception of their "new reality" and that's all.

Is there really no independent options?

What do you mean by "independent"? For me it looks like making silicon from scratch in garage. It is possible, but with enormous efforts in time, money and zeal, but hardly you will be able to make something better than 6502 or Z80.

I'm just picking who gets to spy on me?

With FPGA option you are not. FPGA is just a tons of logical gates on chip that could be connected into some circuit described on the Verilog language. You compile that code and upload it to FPGA. Logical gates in FPGA connects together in a circuit you designed. You could get ready opensource CPU core, network adapter, display engine, memory controller and some other periferals, check the code, modify it if you need and upload into FPGA. That will be your own CPU circuit, under your full control, not some third-party CPU you don't have any clue about.

Drawback is speed. It will work but will be slow, something like 486 or Pentium I in best case. But if you really care about security, that should not stop you.

Same with cheap SoCs. They are cheap because they use minimal CPU, peripherals and so on to reduce chip square. Adding something like Intel ME means you need to add same amount of logic gates and some additional memory on chip, that will make it at least several times larger. So it would not be so cheap.

I think it is perfectly safe to use something made with something like lower Allwinner SoCs like H3, D1 and so on.

Also, if you have a way to find old Power Mac G5, last with PowerPC 970MP processor, you could just add memory up to 16Gb install Debian Jessie (last one with PPC support) or build Gentoo and have relatively powerful computer without any IntelME or something like. Problems will be with finding suitable memory and HDDs.

AFAIK, there was Apple laptops with PowerPC CPU, but I doubt their memory they could be upgraded to levels necessary for acceptable browser usage.

First Intel chipset series with kind of Intel ME ancestor was 900 series IIRC, so to have an Intel CPU without any ME you will have to fall to Pentium 4, which is hardly useable for modern internet due to RAM size limitations.

Also you could try to find something with AMD processor pre 2013, but I'm not shure AMD had no ancestors for AMT in older chipsets.

As you see, there are not much options for something that could be useable for browsing today. Either that cheap single board computers, either last from non-x86 computers with at least 4Gb RAM support.

There is also some projects like Purism, System76 who aim at making laptops free from any ME crap, but they are only partially succeed in removing ME.

PineBook could be interesting from that angle, because despite having Allwinner A64 SoC with ARM Cortex-A53 that have TrustZone, TrustZone is different from Intel ME/AMT because it is CPU mode and not a separate processor in a chipset running some code without usser knowledge or control. You could use TrustZone to make shit like Intel ME as smartphone manufacturers do, but you don't have to. If you run your own system and bootloader just don't use that CPU mode and that's all. U-Boot that is used on ARM processors as bootloader is opensource and don't need TrustZone. You could even use that TrustZone mode for your own purposes if you wish. Just don't run any third-party kernels with blobs or proprietary drivers for the sake of some higher FPS in 3D or video encoding/decoding. Use only mainline kernel and mainline u-boot and you will be fine.

PineBook is cheap, but you will not get perfect system out-of-the box like with Mac f.e. You will have to tune and adjust Linux here an there, may be read some howtos and forums, but I think it is closest to your wishes thing you could get with minimum effort and money.

There is also some new Chineese RISC-V based laptop "Roma" out there, but I didn't check it yet, and it seems to be relatively expensive. However it is much more powerful than PineBook. Don't know about proprietary drivers for it, may be it needs some blobs for 3D engine or video codec f.e., so it would not be so open.

You can clean Intel ME with a USB programmer or RPi + cables, it isn't very hard.

That's true, but check a list of supported hardware for me_cleaner (part of coreboot). It is hard to completely remove ME in modern motherboards, because many functions like fan control was moved into ME. Also you could get resets every few minutes or uninitialized onboard hardware like network controller of sound card if you completely clean ME on board that is not suitable.

By default it doesn't work over wifi so you don't have to worry about it if you use a laptop in which you never plug an ethernet cable.

Not shure about laptops with integrated WiFi, those that have WiFi chip soldered on mainboard instead of traditional miniPCI-E card in socket.

Does the ME / PSP have its own address?

It have own MAC/IP independent from what your network card get from OS, sometimes, if AMT is present in BIOS you could change it and make visible. By default it seems to wait for specific packet to appear for networking. Without that packet it will not be visible for external scanners or whatever. ME have direct access to nework controller and ME networking device is not accessible from host, only from outside, so you need 2 computers to play with it.

How is an attacker going to correlate your online identity with it when you use a VPN or Tor?

Intel ME have full access to your computer hardware. So if you have access to Intel ME, then you could just read anything from memory of disk.

However, as far as I understand, to activate (and may be set Intel ME IP address) you need to be in same local network as computer with Intel ME to send activation packet. It is possible that Intel ME networking could be activated by some contents in regular packet destined to your normal IP, since it have access to network controller and could monitor all trafic, but I'm not shure. May be some ME versions could and some couldn't.

I hope efforts of reverse engineereing Intel ME will finally succeed and we will know for shure how it works, at least reverse engineered version. Intel ME uses ARC CPU core, there exist disassemblers and decompilers for that architecture so it is possible to study that crap by yourself.

The final frontier to which "They" will bring us cognitively is "solipsism". They disguise the meaning but, in short, it's the idea that there is no objective reality.

They call it "building new reality". However, seems it is they who fall to their crap and build their "new reality" in their small things between ears.

I already wrote about that in other topics here - we wondering about their actions sanity supposing that they percieve same reality as we do, but that's seems to be wrong. They percieve their own reality they build pushing their narratives to us, but eventually fall to it themselves.

And things could be worse - may be it is already next generation, who, unlike the first, never percieved reality at all. It is a generation that was idoctrinated to percieve their "new reality" instead of reality since early childhood.

This leads us to one important conclusion - there is no way to somehow argue or dispute with them at all. As we percieve our reality via experience with real objects around us, they percieve their "new reality" via "expert opinions" and "influencer feelings" as they teached. So, "climate change" or "coronahoax" is as "real" for them, as a cup of coffee in our hands is real for us. They just not able to use normal way of reality perception because they was not even teached to do that as our parents and we by ourselves teach us in childhood interacting with real objects and phenomenons.

Look at the insane level of fake "care" they push to us to apply to our children - that is "dangerous", this is "painful", hide all scissors and cover all sharp edges with that silicon covers for $10 per dozen. "Do not eat" on bags with silica gel and list of warnings longer than user manual for some woodworking tool. And if you are not comply with that insanity, here they have that "juvenile justice" to take a child from you.

Safety trolling is also a part of their "new reality creation". Even on some housekeeping forum you will get dozens of safety trolls comments with arguments why you should not do that per normal one in the thread about replacing broken wall socket.

Then, they buy Teslas along with protesting against electric power plants. And that is perfectly logical in their "new reality".

I thought that there should be permanent huge cognitive dissonsnce in their heads, but such things could not last through whole life, either they have to resolve it, either become a patient in a enforced mental facility. But seems they don't have any cognitive dissonance at all. They just live their lives in a fictional "new reality" where electricity arise in a wall socket and food is produced by supermarkets. The problem is that they completely seize the political power. And no representation is possible for anybody who do not live in their "new reality". They will never understand you, and no arguments or proofs from reality could change that. They are unable to understand them at all.

To get fully open CPU - buy any suitable FPGA board with plenty of RAM and upload RISC-V/MIPS/SPARC CPU core. Then install Linux and you are ready to go on your own CPU. Don't expect high performance, but if you are so concerned about maximum hardware and software security it is the best option you could find.

As for cheap boards with mass-produced RISC-V processors - look for Mango Pi, Lichee Pi 4A, Vision Five 2. They are cheap enough just to play with and find out if they suit your hardware security demands. In the worst possible case it will be Chineese who will be able to potentially spy on you, not CIA/FBI as with Intel/AMD/Apple/Qualcomm/Broadcom processors. If it is fine for you, go ahead.

Not sure how to get the Russian chips here in NA, please advise.

You don't need Russian chips, really. I think you could buy something based on Baikal processors with MIPS architecture, but you had to hunt for them on Ebay or find a way to buy it from Russia which could be problematic today.

You could just buy something like Mango Pi or Leeche Pi from Aliexpress/Banggood. They are RISC-V machines, pretty cheap but they could even browse modern Internet. At least they are definitely enough to use conspiracies.win. :) Thing with that RISC-V and many ARM processors of same class is that they are too simple and cheap to have some kind of Intel ME/AMD PSP/ARM TrustZone thing.

Don't use Raspberry Pi, they didn't have special processor for ME thing, but use GPU for that stuff. There was attempts to reverse engineer boot process and GPU supervisor, but AFAIK even for old RPis which are obsolete now, it is still work in progress.

F.e. cheap Allwinner ARM or RISC-V SoCs that often used in cheap SBC are well studied and no malicious activity in background was noticed. SoC internal bootloader is a small 32kb piece of code and it is easy to reverse engineer it even by yourself.

Also RockChip SoCs was found pretty straight things.

If you need some power - take a look at VisionFive 2, this $50 RISC-V computer have performance similar to latest RPi4, however, it is relatively new thing and it is not clear yet, if it have some kind of ME things or not.

Or go to FPGA boards, where you could make any processor you want, even with your own architecture. But that would be more expensive, because FPGA boards with DIMM memory interface are not cheap.

In any case - look for cheap, not very powerful ARM/RISC-V/MIPS boards with lot of memory on board, install Linux distribution of your choice, and you will get pretty protected pocket computer for web browsing. RISC-V is preferrable, since it is not a widespread architecture yet, so even targeted hacker will have to work hard to break into unknown architecture. Code injection exploits designed for x86/ARM just will not work on RISC-V.

You have many options today already, and the problem is not in hardware at all, the problem is in fucking users who immidiately begin to whine each time they meet something that can't run their fucking Windows, Photoshop, MS Office, games and other crap.

Open hardware exists for a few years already, in form of RISC-V/POWER/MIPS/SPARC CPU's where you still have to trust chip manufacturer, but at least could choose one you are fine with, or in a form of open source IP cores that could be uploaded to any decent FPGA where you are in full control of your CPU.

And no, none of that CPUs will run any iOS/Windows with their crappy software. Only opensource systems and opensource software. So, you pretty free to buy/make computer that you will control already, but looks like very little people really ready to forget about iOS/Windows bloatware.

A region now named Ukraine (means outskirts) was a Pale of Settlement region for Jews in Russian Empire. A lot of jews that float on the surface of Western establisment have ancestors that lived in that region.

Also that Khazarian thing. Jews can't forget about defeat of Khasarian Kaganate by Russian army millenia ago, and seem to think about what named Ukraine as a shadow of their Khazaria that does not exist anymore. Remeber that Israel state that disappeared nearly 2000 years ago? They finally got it back. Kind of. As something absolutely unsustainable and unviable without foreing support by means of milking Western population. Pretty shure they dream about restoring Khazaria too, but they have a huge problem. Only part of Khazarian kaganate was on the territory that become Ukraine after USSR falll. Tiny eastern part. Most of Kaganate was north of that thing between Black and Caspian Seas where Caucasus mountains reside. Khazaria capital Itil was somewhere near modern town of Astrakhan in the Volga river delta.

So there is nothing strange that Hollywood Jews put references to Ukraine here and there. IDK, may be you did not noticed that in Hollywood production since name "Ukraine" was something completely irrelevant for most of Westerners few years ago, but it is pretty noticeable thing.

Mixed tribe memories of misery Pale of Settlement and arrogance of Khazarian Kaganate make Ukraine kind of strange but important thing for Jews. They hate it a lot, but at the same time they want it. And can't resist to mention it at any possible occasion.

Didn't dig so far, but possible.

Traces of Neandertals DNA is what distinguish white Europeans from other human species. Interesting, that Jews don't have that traces, and Arabs too who are accounted as white race today. Even in Indians that traces are rare thing, mostly occuring only in higher castes.

Same thing could be with Denisovians, but for Asian race, but it is not studied properly yet.

So, the theory that Neandertals/Denisovians was kind of degraded Cromagnons looks stretched.

More look like agressive Cromagnons who found to come from Africa and whose direct descendants are Negroes, genocided most of other more peaceful human species like Neandrthals and Denisovians, however their ancestry survived in form of Europeans and Asians, who appear to be more advanced humans than those who are pure Cromagnons descendants.

There is still open question about origins of Semites (Jews/Arabs) who have Cromagnon ancestry, but nor Neandertal, nor Denisovian. May be their ancestor is not found yet, but they could have something that made them different from Negroes.

If you are white and have eyes set deeper than eyebrows, with high probability you have traces of Neandertal ancestry, that makes you different from bulged-eyes Jews, Asians or Negroes f.e.

Whatever theory of humans creation/evolution you stick to, there is at least 3 types of human species in humanity ancestry that eventually developed into races we know. And looks like modern narrative of mixing races is a final battle of Cromagnons to dissolve Neanderthals/Denisovian ancestry to complete elimination. Since TPTB want this badly, I suppose that there is something very valuable we have from our Neanderthals ancestors and therefore they are definitely not some kind of degraded or underdeveloped humans as TPTB want us to think.

The bodies in the Paris catacombs are from normal burials, moved after the cemeteries were full, not the remains of human sacrifices to a demon in order to scare their enemies, like with the Aztecs.

And you know it from what sources? How do we know that skulls from Paris catacombs are not result of Revolution or whatever massacre or who Aztecs really sacrificed? All we have is just human skulls. Unfortunately, they can't be asked.

'm not going to get into a "what is white" purity spiral.

I'm not trying to force you to. Really there exist a simple and definitive answer to that question - "whites are people who accounted as whites by all other whites". As simple as that. Same thing is true for any other race or etnicity. Yes, it is recursive, but who told you that recursive definition can't be perfectly valid?

What I'm trying to force you is to take a look from above of any possible bias.

F.e. Uighurs live in Kazakhstan too, and AFAIK they are not people anybody will want to have relations with. Ethnic conflicts between Kazakhs and Uigurs in Kazakhstan are not rare thing, and usually Uighurs are those who start or provoke them. Uighurs also somehow manage to start conflicts with Kirgyz in Kirgyzstan too. And nobody put them in camps nor in Kazakhstan, nor in Kirgyzstan, because "tolerance" and "diversity". What if Chineese have another tradition to manage some annoying tribes? Why do you think Chineese have to obey that Western "tolerance" rules?

The Chinese have built a mound of skulls.

Who don't? Remember that weird Paris catacombs with walls made from skulls?

The question only about exporting that shit.

Civilization that practicise something like that either extinct, either drop such tradition at some moment of time.

As for white man, I think niggers in USA for the last 60 years killed much more white men than Chineese for millenia of existense.

Tibet and the Uyghurs, who are arguably white

Tibetians are pure asians, Uighurs are half-bred asians with indo-europeans.

Something tell me that you will not accept f.e. mulatto as a white person. :)

Why you didn't even bother to check things out?

You don't have to like somebody to study him.

what you're saying is that if the Aztecs want to build a mound of human skulls with the bodies of victims of human sacrifice then it's up to the Aztecs to decide that.

Until they want your people skulls, try to export their rule of building mounds from skulls abroad, or insist that everybody in the world have to obey the rule of building mounds of skulls, or else, yes, that's completely up to Aztecs. If you personally don't like it, don't visit Aztec state personally, don't buy Aztec things personally and so on.

Speaking of "objectively evil" I would be much more concerned about Jews that penetrates nearly all societies and push their fucking "rules of building mounds from skulls" on every single society they infiltrate.

But China is led by an objectively evil regime

And how it is your concern at all? Isn't that up to Chineese? Did you ever thought that quite different people who even have large biological differences from you could have quite different views on how to live?

And even in global sense - how is it different from any Western evil regime, or Russian evil regime? Don't they also trying hard to implement all that important for them crap like total surveillance, control of financial flows, thought policing, etc? Or, may be, it is evil CCP invented illegal humans organs trade? Or is it CCP invented labor/detention camps?

Also that fucking Tibetians and Uighurs that western MSM use to dance on their bodies to shame China, they have absolutely no any right to judge, are not very different from Catalonians and nothern Irish in Europe or niggers in USA. We also have Chechens and some other nails in Russian state ass. So what? Why I should be concerned about fucking Tibetians? Because some Western celebrities for whatever reason propagandized their buddhist monasteries and created a fantasy image of Tibetian monks in Hollywood movies? Are you shure that picture about who Tibetians are and what they really think about China you have in your head is real?

Just try to imagine that Chineese (and asians in whole) could really like that social credit and other stuff. It, suddenly, perfectly align with some of their millenias traditions.

You for whatever resaon like so called "democracy", chineese like their bees-like way or existing.

Did you ever saw their art, things they value, their food, that strange attraction to putting enormous amount of blinking LEDs of different color in the things that technically don't need any LEDs at all? All that things should be very unusual and strange for you. But, suddenly, when it comes to politics and social, you immidiately project your own concepts to that very different people. Why do you do that? Are you too indoctrinated with that "democracy" thing, that without any resaons you assume that your "democracy" should equally be what everybody in the world should want? Sorry to ruin your dogmas, but that is not true. Most world don't give any shit to "Western values".

They ain't the good guys

There are no good guys in power anywhere. There is three circles of machine guns, fight dogs and angry pigs around to prevent a good guy to get even tiny bit of power.

But one bad guys don't have to like another bad guys. And regular person, in rare case when he allowed to choose, usually just have to choose between one bad guy and another bad guy. And if one bad guy are fine with your habit to use sticks instead of fork to eat, and another suddenly want to take your sticks out because they are "transgender unfriendly" and force you to use only spoon, the choice for you become quite simple.

who will protect Taiwan. And knowing some Taiwanese personally who, while they dislike their country's politics, do NOT want it to be taken over by China.

Taiwaneese are Chineese etnically. They share same legacy and way of thinking with mainland Chineese. Despite anything they will always have much more common with mainland Chineese than with you, me or any other whtie man.

Ask that Taiwaneese the same question again, when the West will bomb Taiwan factory they work on to prevent its fall to the hands of evil CCP.

Yes. From that AUKUS or whatever. If you think that it is impossible, think again.

What West will do with Taiwan if Taiwan will make a good deal with China? Huge part of Western IP is become real things on Taiwan. Without Taiwan Western IP means and cost absolutely nothing. It is an unacceptable loss for the West air sellers, so they will do anything to take revenge on their rebel vassal. Including bombing Taiwan factories and cities. And here comes China according to that Chineese-Taiwan deal to protect chineese people from insane laovai.

Look for tiny, as if irrelevant contacts between PRC and RoC bureaucracy. If they are increasing, West is in big trouble. If you woud have been knew something about Chineese you would have to know that. Chineese tops are not like Western politicians who would personally push themselves into any hole they see. Chineese traditionally usually use low level stuff for establishing contact, negotiations and even finalising big deals and they do that alsmost silently. Only when you are already established and well known great partner you could be honoured by personal meeting with your Chineese counterpart. And being, say, a CEO who personally runs to China and trying to have a meeting or sign a deal with your counterpart from Chineese side, you will be definitely accounted by Chineese side as a looser or clown who is perfectly allowed to be cheated and betrayed. Even if you will be met with all respect. Also in that case any of your proposals or deals will be accounted by Chineese as a puzzle where they have to find a way to cheat on or humiliate you. If you are a businessman or top manager even in small business, never do that mistake, and if you really need that voyage, send your lowest possible clerk with small present to do that negotiations or whatever.

That latest frequent voyages of US top politicians to Taiwan made absolute clowns from the US authorities in the eyes of Taiwan Chineese. And with high probability they are looking for ways to cheat on them.

The deadly mix of arrogance and ignorance of the West toward other civilizations and cultures is playing a significant role in the current fall of Western civilisation.

There is possibility that in reality China will eventually have to protect Taiwan from US with full Taiwan agreement and demand for that.

Some history: At the beginning of revolution in China, there was coalition of political parties named Gomindan, and CCP was integral part of that coalition. Then, due to some disagreements between CCP and other Gomindan members CCP quit Gomindan and in subsequent clashes CCP took mainland (PRC) and Gomindan took Taiwan (RoC). However, both parts of Chineese population have similar views on China. Both believe that mainland and island should finally join into one country, and both assume that there is nothing impossible in CCP joining Gomindan again.

So it is quite possible that People Republic of China and Republic of China will find a way to assemble back without any help of laovai (aliens, as they name us, Europeans) in some kind of union or as RoC being autonomous region in exchange to participation or representation in PRC politics. HongKong and Macao things worked somehow, why Taiwan can't, especially if CCP will propose something tasty for Taiwan elites?

Modern CCP is not the CCP of Mao, they could find a way to smooth tensions with Gomindan.

It was barely mentioned in MSM, but semi-official visits of present and former PRC politicians to RoC and vice versa intensified in last few years on the background of constant China shaming in US with invasion of US politicians to Taiwan.

Also, take in account, that RoC is not very happy that the West expropriate most part of profit of Taiwaneese factroies. And it is not the past times when poor Taiwaneese agreed to work for cup of rice for Western corporations, at least one generation changed since and Taiwaneese youth look at job opportunities quite different.

Same happens in PRC too, but with some delay, because Western corporations started to outsource labor to Taiwan earlier than to mainland China. If some forgot, first "Chineese crap" instead of honest Western goods made by white people on the West we got from Taiwan, not from China. Taiwan passed the way from "Cheneese crap" made for cup of rice to the leader of manufacturing in some areas just earlier than China. And now, both PRC and RoC have very same problems with laovai capital having a lever over them.

What if mainland China and Taiwan will play that game with China-Taiwan tensions by their own rules and with their own goals, with getting rid of laovai capital as one of the goals?

And that love of WEF to both PRC and RoC - why do you think that WEF will sacrifice their beloved examples instead of continuing sacrificing West that is in progress?

Along with that strange Western elites claims about bombing Tawan factories in case of China invasion and total misunderstanding of chineese way of thinking in the West, I find probability of PRC and RoC giving a huge (and sudden, as usual) fuck to laovai from the West pretty possible.

Good find. Yet another lie of IPCC terrorist organisation.

Russian rumors if you are interested:

There are a lot of people died in the day of second attempt to move Ark of Gabriel in Mecca at Sep 24 2015, their deaths was officially written off to the jam among crowd of palmers. Some casualities happened also at Sep 11 2015 when Ark was found.

When Saudis got they need some theological and scientific help with artifact, they connected with Russian Orthodox Church.

Russians was selected because it is one of biblical artifacts that was never touched by Rome, Jews are excluded by default, so there was not so much choice of keepers of ancient Bible Covenant knowledge who didn't participate in destroying or stealing religious things.

Military reconnaissance and research vessel arrived to Jiddah port and calmed down by Orthodox priests artifact was transferred to the ship. Then ship suddenly took the course to Antarctica with priests on board. Aslo, three military satellites, was launched at the same time (Kosmos-2507, 2508 and 2509, from the Arrow/Spring series, officially p2p communication satellites, but presumably with reconnaissance abilities in radio frequencies).

Ship had strange cargo on board on departure from Russia - capsules with "saint Russian soils", officially they had to be placed in the places of military glory of Russian sailors around the globe. Also officially trip to Antarctica was described as a "recreation voyage" for ships crew. Capsules with saint soil was all delivered to Antarctica without any ceremonies in places around the world. Bringing Russian soil to the places of death of Russians is a relatively popular tradition, but in that case there was too many soil even if it would have been delivered as promised.

Considering that at the time Saudis and Russia was not best friends and Saudi Muslims and Russian Orthodoxes are not best friends, and of course such joint trips of Muslims and Orthodox Christians on military ships to Antarctica is not some old tradition I think there is something interesting and important happened and may be continue to happen, as Iran being one of the most developed Islamic countries, they are also Shia Muslims unlike Sunni Saudis and the relations between Iran and Russia and Saudi Arabia rised to a new level, may be Iranians was also invited to join that project. Interesting, that unlike Sunni, Shia Muslims are obliged to constantly gather knowledge about the God's creation, i.e. our world in all senses. So they could have some knowledge useful in that joint affair.

Then why European Comission radioactivity monitoring network show that suddenly elevated radiation levels?
