"Microsoft blocks Bing from showing image results for Tiananmen ‘tank man’ "

Here's my take on it. This got attention because it is such a high profile event, and it was glaringly obvious that something was amiss. Now think about other, not so high profile events. How much is getting blocked by various search engines that may be extremely important to the people affected, but never sees the light of day elsewhere due to these supposed "human errors"?

Is China (and Hong Kong for that matter), about to have a GFC moment as property giant Evergrande runs into a US$300 billion debt crisis?

The Guardian is a mouthpiece of Deviationism. I wouldn't take much notice.

Now China has the AUSUK standing up to them with Nuclear subs.

Is the ANZUS treaty dead? NZ - 100% there for the taking....

ANZUS - From Wiki,

New Zealand was suspended from ANZUS in 1986 as it initiated a nuclear-free zone in its territorial waters; in late 2012 New Zealand lifted a ban on visits by United States warships leading to a thawing in tensions

in late 2012 New Zealand lifted a ban on visits by United States warships leading to a thawing in tensions. New Zealand maintains a nuclear-free zone as part of its foreign policy and is partially suspended from ANZUS, as the United States maintains an ambiguous policy whether or not the warships carry nuclear weapons and operates numerous nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines; however New Zealand resumed key areas of the ANZUS treaty in 2007

I read this as ANZUS treaty really is mostly dead or of limited value.

NZ is however at some point either get off the fence or stand back and let the big boys make the hard decisions for which they will still ride the coat tails of.

Nuclear submarines is going to put a rocket up Uncle Xi. Expect some serious consequences from this decision...

I thought NZ was suspended from ANZUS because their military got down to single digit numbers of members and a trained seal (not quite of the US special forces type).

NZ is a nuclear free zone? What do they think is really happening at Rotorua?

The iron ore price is in free-fall, today down to AU$107 and its almost halved in the last month. Also interesting to note that China's largest property developer (Evergrande) has gone into a trading halt pending a restructure - unknown what the CCP will do with the company at this point but its expected that investors will take some huge losses.

Huge debts in China particularly off-sheet unofficial local government borrowings emerging as a key problem.

Iron Ore through the floor, Coal through the roof. She'll be right cobber!

Mark McGowan and his ballistic budget surplus might take a hit though, not a lot of the ol' King Coal exported out of WA

Miners taking a big whack on the ASX today. Fortescue has had a terrible day, a lot of key staff have resigned in the last week apparently having seen the writing on the wall for iron ore in the short term. They're leaving the industry while the going is good.

Coal - especially coking coal - won't be immune from the slump in the longer term either. China is making a concerted effort to slow down steel production (especially exports) in order to boost the price.

Was the 'Attack' class submarine name deliberately chosen to be offensive or was the name just a 'creeping assumption'?

Neither.

The RAN, like many other navies, re-uses names of previous ships. The previous HMAS Attack was the class leader of a series of Patrol Boats (Surface vessels, not Subs). These 21 patrol boats were introduced in the late '60s and phased out during the '80s and '90s, being replaced with the Fremantle Class.

The Attack class Subs were also slated to re-use some other names of vessels from the Attack class Patrol Boats.
