Ex-German minister calls out Ukrainian โ€˜conspiracy theoriesโ€™

Sigmar Gabriel, who served as Germanyโ€™s top diplomat from 2017 to 2018, says the current government in Berlin can and should defend itself against โ€œconspiracy theoriesโ€ leveled at it by the likes of Ukrainian Ambassador Andrey Melnyk.

In an op-ed published by Der Spiegel on Sunday, Gabriel described as โ€œdangerousโ€ the narrative peddled by the Ukrainian representative in Berlin, according to which German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier had โ€œfor decades established a cobweb of contacts with Russia,โ€ allegedly involving members of the current German government.

Former Fishing Village in China has more Billionaires than New York

China now hosts three cities with the greatest number of mega-rich, according to data from the Global Rich List - including Shenzhen.

144 billionaires live in Beijing, 121 in Shanghai, and now New York has been knocked out the top three (110).

Shenzhen, a former fishing village turned Chinaโ€™s Silicon Valley, has 113 of the globeโ€™s most wealthy. The city has been basking in a growing concentration of wealth, adding eight billionaires to its list since last year.

According to Heng Chen, an associate professor of economics at the University of Hong Kong, Shenzhenโ€™s rise stemmed from its efforts to make the city welcoming to businesses, for instance, by offering tax breaks to high-tech companies.

US to use โ€œUkrainian methodโ€ to Line Pockets from China-Taiwan Clash (report)

According to Japan Business Press, America will use the "Ukrainian method" if China launches an operation against Taiwan - taking no part in hostilities themselves, but earning money from the arms trade.

At the start of this year, US defense companiesโ€™ share indices fluctuated around and sometimes below zero, but after Russiaโ€™s special operation began those shares jumped sharply.

The Biden administrationโ€™s "Ukrainian method" is just a "good story" for US realpolitik national interests without taking into account any humanitarian considerations, the article says.
