 Maria Zakharova aka “Sister Zha” is BIG in China!!

Fluent in Mandarin, Zakharova recently spoke about her love for Chinese food, saying her favorites are sweet and sour pork (Gǔlǎoròu) and dumplings—which she compared to Russian dumplings but with more vegetables.

Zakharova’s fluency in Chinese is rare among Russian officials. She spent her childhood in Beijing, where her father served as a Soviet diplomat. Living in China from 1981 to 1993, she became deeply familiar with Chinese language and culture.

She also mentioned “Hongcheng”, which translates to “Red City,” a poetic reference to the Kremlin and its historical ties to China.

Russia-China relations continue to strengthen—Zakharova’s popularity is proof!

DJ, A lot of Asian cultures have a history of thousends of years...Somehow the US/west does not understand/respect that...
---
A few scenarios;
-BRICS+ will expand and try to ignore the west...they do not need the west...
-BRICS+ will face western escalation/nuclear blackmail-has to confront the (10%) west...and beat it...(rest=90%...)
-BRICS+ will -step by step- take over the west...Slavic/orthodox countries in SE Europe may be already on the brink...Germany after elections may go for Russian energy...
-BRICS+ is unable to work together enough...break up...global chaos...

DJ-The west is no longer in the driver seat, however BRICS+ may also not yet be there...

	https://dutchreview.com/news/donald-trump-in-the-netherlands-2025/ or https://dutchreview.com/news/donald-trump-in-the-netherlands-2025/ ; Shortly after his inauguration, the new-old president of the United States might be coming to the Netherlands. He’s not here to see the tulips and windmills, though — he’ll be trying to convince NATO states to increase their military spending. Pulling out all the stops The NATO summit, which will be held on June 24 and 25 in The Hague, will be the largest summit ever held in the Netherlands. Though his arrival has yet to be confirmed, the government is counting on Donald Trump’s presence. Minister of Foreign Affairs Veldkamp is optimistic about the possibility. “The fact that Trump has nominated a new American ambassador to the Netherlands so quickly, I consider a sign that he will indeed come,” Veldkamp said when talking to the AD. Where would someone who’s used to his bedroom being decked out in more gold than a 17th-century cathedral sleep when coming to the lowlands? The prestigious Huis ter Duin in Noordwijk. - Elijah J.
