The evolving Niger situation
The situation continues to evolve, so we will briefly list what is known at the moment.
▪️The halting of uranium and gold shipments from Niger to France could be seen as retaliation for "years of brutality" against Africans by Paris, said Erdoğan.
▪️ Orano, a French company engaged in uranium mining in Niger, announced that it will continue operations despite the evacuation of French citizens. The company said that 99% of its employees are Niger's nationals and operations continue.
▪️ The US is not planning to evacuate its citizens from Niger, it sees no threat to them, the White House said.
The US has 1,000 military personnel in Niger and has no plans to involve them in the evacuation of foreigners or to send additional forces to the region.
▪️Italian Foreign Minister ruled out Western military intervention in Niger, said it would be perceived as a "new colonization".
▪️Italy's Foreign Minister also saw no Russian trace in Niger coup. There is no evidence of Moscow's involvement in organizing the rebellion, he said.
▪️ Niger declared Thursday, August 3, as Independence Day.
▪️Broadcasting of French radio station RFI (Radio France Internationale) and TV channel France24 in Niger was stopped.
▪️Rebels in Niger denounced military agreements with France. There are 1,500 French military personnel stationed in Niger who were sent there to fight terrorism in the region.
▪️President Bazoum, who was overthrown by the rebels, asked the US and the international community in his Washington Post column to help restore order.
▪️On August 6, the ultimatum that ECOWAS gave to the rebels expires. According to it, if President Bazoum is not released, ECOWAS will launch a military intervention.
▪️ECOWAS has drawn up a plan for possible military intervention in Niger, including the order and timing of force deployment, Reuters reported.

Remember Air Force General Mike Minihan's assertion that his men should "aim for the head" against China 🇨🇳?
The Washington Post reports that Minihan told an Air Force conference of defense contactors, officials, and airmen last Fall that “Lethality matters most . . When you can kill your enemy, every part of your life is better! Your food tastes better. Your marriage is stronger.”
These are the sociopaths pushing for war with China, Russia, and the multipolar world.

China has removed Qin Gang from his post as foreign minister. Top diplomat Wang Yi has been reassigned to the position.
Still not much is known as to why this was decided. Western media is in full propaganda mode, portraying China 🇨🇳 as it regularly does the DPRK 🇰🇵 .
There isn’t any evidence that this decision was made for explicitly political reasons. Qin Gan is not on record for violating the principles of the party or government leadership at any level. From my sources he’s been described as incredibly qualified and a consummate professional.
There is speculation of possible violations of code of conduct and law regulating behavior of officials as well as possible health issues. Some western media have indicated he was having an extramarital affair.
That’s all we know so far. One important thing to remember is that this change isn’t a reason to believe China is in trouble despite numerous domestic and global challenges. The event is highly unlikely to change the political calculus for China one bit.

🚨 Henry Kissinger meets officials in China, including top diplomat Wang Yi and President Xi Jinping.
Xi reiterated Kissinger’s role in facilitating normalized ties between the U.S. and China more than 50 years ago.
Kissinger remarked that peace between the two countries was essential to each of their future success.
Kissinger’s visit once again had a “secret” character similar to the July 1972 secret meeting. The meeting was held at the invitation of Beijing in the same location as where normalization talks took place.
The message is clear: China 🇨🇳 demands the US fulfill its obligations to act as a normal country and is willing to provide a history lesson in real time to reinforce this demand.
That Kissinger met with Xi Jinping in Beijing before Joe Biden is a signal to the US that China understands where the two countries are and the responsibility resides at the feet of the current US administration.

China to make sure Ukraine talks don't turn “anti-Russian”
China has confirmed that its special representative, Li Hui, will be attending a two-day conference in Jeddah this weekend, with Ukraine expected to seek additional international support. Over 30 countries have been invited, yet Russia was excluded from the invite list.
Wang Yiwei, a professor of international relations at Renmin University, said the presence of Li Hui, who went on a peace mission to Europe in May, shows China's commitment to seeking a peaceful settlement.
Beijing could also prevent the event from turning into an "anti-Russian and Western-led multilateral occasion to isolate Russia."
The expert added that "China is often able to serve as a liaison to convey the position of both sides" and could seek common ground with other countries and work with Russia to negotiate an early ceasefire.

If China 🇨🇳 behaved like the collective west in Africa, the U.S. and Europe would have declared war.
But the Collective West treats Niger like its property without any accountability.
This is what makes multipolarity critical. The “rules-based international order” led by the U.S. is just a rubber stamp for its unipolar domination.

🇨🇳 Shanghai to go digital by 2025
The Chinese government has published a plan to implement blockchain infrastructure in Shanghai.
The plan is to use blockchain to digitize all major city systems by 2025.
When completed, the city's blockchain-based digital infrastructure system should support municipal affairs, public services, and applications across the region's various industries.
China's plans clearly show a desire to become the world's blockchain hub.
Earlier this year, the city of Nanjing unveiled the China Metaverse Technology and Application Innovation Platform, designed to advance metaverse research and development.
Around the same time, another Chinese city, Xuzhou, announced that it would use the digital yuan in international payments.

Via Reuters, Late on Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the arrival of a delegation, headed by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, in North Korea. This visit marks a significant event as it is the first instance of public visitors to the country since the onset of the pandemic.
Alongside the Russian delegation, a Chinese group is also part of this historic visit to North Korea. The purpose of their visit is to participate in the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of "Victory Day" in Pyongyang on Thursday.
Notably, the Chinese delegation is being led by Li Hongzhong, a member of the Chinese Communist Party Politburo. The visit of these delegations underscores the strengthening diplomatic ties between North Korea, Russia, and China,

In all seriousness, this is the Natural History Museum in Shanghai, China 🇨🇳 .
