Meta include le multe nei costi operativi. Oltre due miliardi di euro di multe per violazione del GDPR non hanno fermato Meta, Google e TikTok. Un’analisi mostra perché le multe sono lo strumento sbagliato, come la macchina delle lobby delle multinazionali digitali mina sistematicamente la regolamentazione e cosa significano le dimissioni del Commissario federale per la protezione dei dati.

Bagaman nagluluksa ang mga Pulang mandirigma ng Roselyn Jean Pelle Command-NPA at ang buong rebolusyonaryong pwersa ng Northern Negros, hindi nito isinantabi ang paglulunsad ng mga taktikal na opensiba upang mabigyan ng hustisya ang mga biktima nga mga anti-sosyal na mga elemento at ng mismong pasistang estado. Sa loob ng halos tatlong linggo matapos ang madugong pagmasaker sa Toboso 19, matagumpay na inilunsad ng RJPC-NPA ang dalawang separadong punitibong aksyon. Noong Mayo 5, pinatawan ng parusang kamatayan ng rebolusyonaryong kilusan si Jemar Mahusay, 53 anyos na taga Sitio Agbalatuan, Barangay Dolis, Calatrava. Isinakatuparan ang hatol na ito sa mga sumusunod na batayan: (1) pagpatay sa kanyang mismong kapatid; (2) panghohold-up sa mga residente sa erya; (3)pagbabanta na patayin ang kanyang ina; at (4) panghaharas sa mga kababaihan sa lugar. Noong Mayo 13, sa Barangay Minautok naman ay pinarusahan din si Gerry Baitan, 53 anyos, sa kasong rape sa anak niyang 18-anyos na PWD. Maliban dito ay kilala rin si Baitan na aset ng 79th IB na nakadestino sa Calatrava. Sa partikular, para maabot ang ‘quota,’ pinagtuturo nito ang mga sibilyan bilang mga miyembro ng NPA. Sumasama rin siya mismo sa pagraransak ng mga kabahayan bilang ‘guide’ ng mga berdugong militar. Ang mga punitibong aksyon na ito ay pagpapakita na mananatili pa rin ang pag-iral ng Bagong Hukbong Bayan (BHB) dahil sa suporta ng malawak na masang inaapi at pinagsasamantalahan ng mga naghaharing uri. Mula noon hanggang ngayon, tanging ang mga pulang mandirigma lamang ang sinsero na nagproprotekta sa kapakanan at interes ng masang Negrosanon. Sampal din ito sa mukha ng 79th IB, PNP, at ng NTF-Elcac na parang sirang plaka na sa pagmamayabang na `dismantled’ na ang larangan. Magsisilbi rin itong babala sa kanila at sa mga traydor sa rebolusyon. Hangga’t nariyan ang inhustiya, kahirapan at kagutuman, dadami at dadami ang mag-aarmas at sasampa sa NPA upang kamtin ang lipunang malaya, walang pang-aapi at pananamantala.

The ‘new’ right-wing Labour think-tank ‘Think Labour’ has launched with a claim that it’s not just a rebrand of Labour Together. Its CEO Alison Phillips told LabourList that: ThinkLabour will be an open, collaborative organisation with no interest in factions. Right. Labour Together was – and, really, still is – the factional sabotage outfit that used the antisemitism scam and other manoeuvres to throw the 2019 general election and topple Jeremy Corbyn. To fund this, it used massive, undeclared donations from Israel lobbyists. A ‘unique’ organisation? In an X post, the group claims that it is: a unique political organisation dedicated to helping Labour govern confidently, win elections, and deliver lasting change. But the same thread notes that it is “built out of” Labour Together: ThinkLabour is built out of Labour Together – but this is much more than a new logo or a change of name. We have a new leadership team, a renewed mission, and a fundamentally different approach. We are open, collaborative, and entirely outward-facing. — ThinkLabour (@ThinkLabour) May 14, 2026 So it’s not that unique. Nor is it built very far. In fact, it’s exactly the same entity as before. Its website’s ‘privacy’ section hasn’t even been amended and still calls it “Labour Together”. It also notes that its company number is 09630980: ‘Clean skin’? A search for “Think Labour” on Companies House returns no results. A search for the company number does, however – and it returns a company that is still called… “Labour Together”: The entity is unchanged – literally, at least so far. What about the people? Boss Alison Phillips, for example. Phillips told LabourList that she was: delighted to have been made the first CEO of ThinkLabour. But she was chief executive of Labour Together before the rebrand, and even planned it, so she simply remained CEO rather than being ‘made’ anything – particularly as Think Labour is still, in every legal sense, still Labour Together. Unlike previous Labour Together directors, Phillips has a relatively low profile regarding Israel – a ‘clean skin’. She’s not quite so clean, however, concerning Labour Together’s scandal of spying on and trying to discredit journalists who were investigating it. Phillips took over after that scandal and claimed to be “horrified” at it. However, in the same breath, she then amplified claims that the previous management didn’t realise the company it paid to spy on journalists was going to spy on journalists: As a former journalist and editor, it should come as no surprise that I was horrified that investigators hired by Labour Together would look into the background and sources of reporters even if I am assured that this was not the intention. Not a ‘clean skin’ But if the CEO is a relatively clean skin on Israel and the antisemitism scam so loved by Labour Together, the same can’t remotely be said for its chair. Nick Forbes is a former Newcastle council leader resoundingly deselected in 2022 by party members frustrated at rarely seeing him in the ward. His supporters painted the deselection as a “Muslim plot“. Forbes is an ardent opponent of pro-Palestine protests and called for the police to “throw the book at” anti-apartheid demonstrators. The protesters had dared to call on Newcastle city council not to adopt the grossly unfit, so-called ‘IHRA definition’ of antisemitism. The ‘definition’ doesn’t define anything and is designed to prevent criticism of Israel – which is why Israel supporters demand it everywhere. Including Forbes. And Forbes didn’t stop there. He was also – alongside Tom Watson and other right-wing, friends-of-Israel horrors – behind a move to make it easier to expel Labour members accused in the ‘Labour antisemitism’ scam. Forbes’ record is at odds with the re-skinned group’s “no interest in factions” claims, too. In 2018, when the party was led by Corbyn, unions planned to democratise the party and give Labour’s overwhelmingly pro-Corbyn membership the power to elect their Labour council leaders, instead of councillors selecting them. Forbes, then also on Labour’s NEC, was among leading opponents of the plan. He dismissed it as “unworkable”, “possibly illegal” and guaranteed to spark “endless infighting”. Infighting for factional control has been Labour Together’s reason for existence. That does not seem set to change. Atlantic Council Another of the ‘new’ group’s directors is Ed Owen. Owens is a ‘senior fellow’ at NATO front-group, the Atlantic Council, which is also closely linked with US intelligence. Owen has something in common with notorious Labour Together alumnus Morgan McSweeney – they both thought it was a great idea to make Epstein pal Peter Mandelson ambassador to the US. In January 2025, Owen wrote for the Atlantic Council that “big, serious” Mandelson “brings a wealth of experience and expertise”, and was a “bold statement of intent from a British government”. The ‘slug’ for the article states that Mandelson might: be just what the US-UK relationship needs at this moment. Serial child-rapist Jeffrey Epstein first became a convicted paedophile in 2008. Mandelson’s continued close friendship with Epstein had been a matter of public record for years. It received no mention in Owen’s analysis. Nothing but… Other directors include a visiting fellow at the security-service aligned King’s College London; a former Bank of England monetary policy official who then moved to a capitalist consultancy; a former Big Finance and Big Pharma staffer who then worked for a right-wing Labour MP. Most worked at Labour Together before the rebrand. None of this seems to align with the “fundamentally different” organisation to bring “radical” ideas that it’s supposed to be. Not in any good way, anyway. Alison Phillips claims that ‘Think Labour’ is not just a rebrand of Labour Together. Based on the evidence, it seems to be nothing but.

Just about ten days ago, the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News that China was buying 90% of Iran’s energy, “so they are funding the largest state sponsor of terrorism.” Bessent may have got the country wrong, as it has been the USA that is the destabilising power in the world. So if anyone is funding war and destruction, it is the USA. Just this year, it has assassinated sovereign state leaders, kidnapped a head of state, started an illegal war against Iran, increased the stranglehold of Cuba, killed civilians in acts of perfidy in the Caribbean sea, armed Israel to kill innocents in Lebanon, and continued its genocide in Palestine. Today, Bessent, along with Trump and a dozen American CEOs, is in China for bilateral talks. The United States is perfectly willing to lecture Beijing on terrorism while dispatching its corporate elite to cut deals and chase market access. Highly awkward and unusual situation Biden, in his two terms, did not visit China. The last visit to China by a US head of state was by Trump, nine years ago. Presumably, the China hawks in the US, like Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton, who are unable to distinguish between Singapore and China, would have criticised Biden too much, so he avoided it. Cotton’s clip on not knowing the difference between two Asian countries went viral, and he was still posting about menacing “Communist China” filling his beloved America with dangerous products while his MAGA hero was in there. TikTok’s CEO did not “dodge” your stupid questions: He made it very clear that he’s SINGAPOREAN, not Chinese. Do you understand that Singapore is a different country? Tom Cotton doesn’t care because he’s a neo-McCarthyite demagogue who wants war on China pic.twitter.com/3l3MHFEcLJ https://t.co/V2SajF1GRL — Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) February 3, 2024 The cultish MAGA does indeed allow Trump to get away with anything. Even the hawkish Washington think tanks are trying to sell this self-confessed “highly awkward” visit. Rush Doshi of the US think tank Council on Foreign Relations: This meeting is coming at an unusual time. It’s coming at a time when there is a detente right now between the U.S. and China, an uneasy kind of equilibrium. But in the backdrop is Iran. The very fact that a U.S. president is going to China while he’s also having his military blockade Chinese ships in the Strait of Hormuz is a highly awkward and unusual situation. Doshi said that while Trump was bringing a smaller “but very impressive” delegation of about a dozen CEOs to China, including Elon Musk, Wall Street financial heads, Boeing, and Qualcomm, representing a diverse range of industries, which is a smaller group than the 40 CEOs he took to the Gulf in 2025. China — CEOs galore So why are the CEOs there? The answer is simple — whether the US likes it or not, China is a resolute competitor and trading partner. They are there to “unlock regulatory approvals, market access, and investment opportunities.” Musk is there because China is weighing curbs on exports of solar manufacturing equipment to the United States, which could threaten plans by Tesla to build new factories or expand existing ones to boost local production, according to Reuters. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg told Reuters last month that the US plane maker was counting on the Trump administration to help unlock a long-awaited major order from China 500 737 Max jets. Cargill is there because the US wants China to increase its purchases of agriculture from the United States, according to Bloomberg. Meta is there seemingly because China recently blocked Meta’s $2 billion acquisition of Chinese-founded AI startup Manus, Bloomberg implies. Washington has previously restricted sales of advanced semiconductors primarily from Nvidia to China in an effort to limit the country’s AI development. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was reportedly added late to Trump’s delegation to China. The USA took some of these restrictions away in January, but China has refused to buy any so far. War on Iran If the USA is looking for subservience from China, like it commands from the UAE, Israel, or the UK, this is unlikely. Chinese company that tracked US bombers over Iran wears sanctions with pride https://t.co/98pS2k9ZtR — South China Morning Post (@SCMPNews) May 13, 2026 China’s South China Morning Post reported that a Chinese company that tracked US bombers over Iran, despite sanctions, wears sanctions with pride. The report said: Chinese satellite imagery firm MizarVision, which rose to fame with its analysis of American military deployments in the US-Israel war on Iran, is treating its addition to the US sanctions list as a badge of honour in its hiring campaign.

By Joe Scholten – May 8, 2026 The US-Israeli war on Iran has unleashed a massive global food crisis. China is prepared, because its state-owned enterprises maintain the largest grain reserves in human history. This is how they work. I wrote an article on the topic of food security in China in 2022. The main rationale for that prior essay was that there had been warnings of a global food crisis as the result of the war in Ukraine. Indeed, prices of staple commodities like corn, wheat, and soybeans nearly doubled in price in the first year of the conflict, and millions were pushed into hunger worldwide. In the United States, this was one of the leading causes of rapid grocery inflation in 2022, contributing to an 11.4% increase in grocery prices, per the USDA. China however largely remained unscathed, with changes in grocery prices remaining much lower than those in the United States over the same period of time. A food crisis came, and although it hit the Global South much harder than the imperial core, hit the imperial core it did. However, China was noticeably insulated from this previous food crisis. Over time, some attention was drawn to Chinese food policy. Economists like Isabella Weber highlighted that Chinese strategic food reserves helped to ensure that grocery prices didn’t skyrocket for China, like they did elsewhere else in the world, amid one of the worst food crises to hit the international community in decades. Amusingly enough, even normal Westerners who left the popular app Tiktok during the temporary ban in January 2025 saw firsthand on the Chinese app Rednote (小红书) how much more affordable groceries were in China for the average person. A new global food crisis Today, the world is facing another global food and energy crisis, caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran and the disruption of supply chains in the Persian Gulf. Given this new crisis, revisiting the topic of China’s food security seems prudent, to assess its strengths and see what could be learned from these methods. If reporting is to be believed, this present conflict in West Asia could push as many as 45 million people into hunger, in addition to making the hundreds of millions already in hunger face even more dire circumstances, as a direct result of the US’s imperial war of aggression against Iran. Food prices in countries that are much more insulated will also increase, likely as much as, if not even more than, they did in 2022. In China, however, the government has state control over the commanding heights of the economy. In practice, this means that state-owned enterprises (SOEs) place strategically important industries under government control, and operate them as businesses that serve socially beneficial purposes, as opposed to existing for quarterly profit maximization on behalf of shareholders. China’s strategic food reserves In my prior article, I examined the role of cooperatives in alleviation of poverty and food security. In this present essay, I will expand upon the role of the Chinese state in safeguarding food security, as well as the interplay between the state and cooperatives. The largest and most directly relevant SOEs in China that oversee this strategy are China Grain Reserves Group (中储粮集团), also known by the name Sinograin; and the China Oil and Foodstuffs Corporation (中国粮油食品集团), known simply as COFCO*.* Sinograin is the main company that handles reserves of grains, oils, meats, sugars, and other agricultural commodities. COFCO oversees processing, warehousing, planting, transportation, and shipping of foodstuffs. Sinograin can be thought of as the SOE that handles the actual reserved quantities of foodstuffs, while COFCO processes, transports, warehouses, and distributes foodstuffs to various retailers at controlled prices. In late 2022, these entities formed a joint venture called the China Enterprise United Grain Reserve Company (中企联合粮食储备有限公司), combining their efforts into a streamlined strategic grocery network, covering everything from sourcing and planting. Through this system, the process of reserving foodstuffs and then processing and wholesaling them is managed efficiently. A grain storage facility operated by Sinograin, in Chengdu in 2025 (Photo credit: Xinhua) This isn’t to say that there isn’t a private sector in China; indeed, cooperative farms also exist, and there are plenty of private, for-profit, non-cooperative business enterprises working in foodstuffs. However, a state sector serves as a check on these entities. If people believe that the private sector is overcharging them for essentials, they have a state-run option to source foodstuffs from. Moreover, if there are shortages or supply chain problems, the government can open up reserves to auction, and allow various wholesalers and distributors to have grains at a price guaranteed to ensure farmers are adequately compensated, but not so high as to ensure that ordinary consumers are price gouged. In terms of the interplay between the state sector and cooperative sector, the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives (ACFSMC) stands as a means by which the state organizes and supports cooperatives. The War on Iran Is Transforming the Global Economy: Economist Michael Hudson Explains How This can look like technical support for cooperatives, research, development of local cooperative business models, or study of new agronomic innovations for cooperatives, among many other responsibilities. The cooperative sector is itself not state-owned definitionally, but the government does guide and develop the creation of cooperative industries as part of socialist construction. In turn, the Chinese state uses this infrastructure to enable other goals of socialist construction, including strategic partnerships between entities like COFCO and the ACFSMC. State-run entities like COFCO and Sinograin can sell directly to cooperatives and have cooperatives be the front-end of the distribution chain to consumers whenever prices need to be stabilized. This enables lower costs to be guaranteed to the people. A grain storage facility operated by Sinograin, in Changsha in 2025 (Photo credit: China Daily) In terms of scale, there is not another strategic food reserve at any point in human history that comes close to how large China’s reserve is. In terms of grain alone, in 2024 the strategic reserve was at 700 million metric tons of grain as of 2024. This is enough to feed the domestic population for a year. With reserves at that scale, China can guarantee that, when crises unfold, its population will not go hungry. Grain reserves are one element of the way that Chinese socialism has been able to anticipate and prepare for the current crisis the world is in. China’s fertilizer reserves China also has a large fertilizer reserve. In fact, the second-biggest exporter of fertilizer in the world is China, and its largest producers are the SOEs Sinochem and the China National Agricultural Means of Production Group Corporation. Sinochem also maintains supply chains for other components in the production chain of fertilizers, and can draw on reserves from other state sectors like the China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) or the strategic reserve of sulphur to ensure that fertilizer production is ramped up, in the case of crises like the one we face today. As a result, China is in a position where it can release fertilizer reserves to extend the shelf life of its grain reserves and attempt to bolster domestic production, such that its grain reserves can last even longer. These policies require an immense amount of planning, which market logic would simply not find tolerable. Indeed, in October 2025, The Economist lamented that China was betting on non-market forces in managing its reserves, buying up grains, fuel, chemical components, and minerals when times were good. The Economist wrote: Since many analysts expect a barrel of crude to be $10-20 cheaper next year, China may be wasting billions of yuan a month. Its refiners are also securing copper at an enormous loss: the “treatment” fee they usually charge miners to process ores has turned deeply negative—a feat enabled, traders suspect, by cheap state loans. Brazil has been selling soyabeans to China at a hefty premium. Retrospectively, this logic is laughable. Today, the prices of basic necessities are skyrocketing. To have bought them at a “hefty premium” in 2025 will look like a bargain compared to the sky-high prices in 2026. For a long time, the stockpiling policies of China were described as either incompetent mismanagement by the state or as a nefarious policy to prepare to wage aggressive war. Not once did Western pundits consider that these policies were strategic choices by China to prepare for crises that could be caused by a myriad of causes, such as climate change, or the militarism of the United States. Rational socialist planning was never seen for what it actually is: a state-directed plan to anticipate needs and shape the economy in a direction that actually benefits the population, as opposed to allowing market forces to enrich a small handful of wealthy elites. China’s five-year plans and strategic planning Indeed, we can look at the most recent five-year plans to see how this is playing out in terms of China’s food security policy. A priority of the 14th five-year plan (from 2021 to 2025) was to develop into a leader in agricultural modernization. Even the neoliberal publication The Economist has acknowledged that China has become the leading country in agricultural sciences, with output into leading scientific journals being spearheaded by research in Chinese agricultural science. China uses drone technology more than any other country, deploying more than 300,000 agricultural drones — more than half of the world’s total — to enable efficient transportation, fertilization, and seeding of crops. China plans to lead on adaptable crop biotechnologies and novel protein sources. China integrates AI systems like Deepseek into pest-identification programs, to reduce the use of chemical pesticides. In terms of physical infrastructure, during its 14th five-year plan, China invested $757 billion USD in water conservation efforts, such as agricultural irrigation and hydroelectric power, among others. These same priorities are reflected in the 15th five-year plan, which seeks to further integrate agricultural biosciences and artificial intelligence into existing agricultural networks. These state directives are not only rational, they’re humane. China has secured resources necessary for the flourishing of 1.4 billion people. As millions in the world will experience hunger and further impoverishment, China has taken adequate steps to ensure that its domestic population will not bear the weight of damage from choices undertaken by others. Indeed, as other countries in East and Southeast Asia face the prospect of shortages, China has taken steps to ensure that it can export critical materials for industrial production. China is beginning to allow export of jet fuel, as the airlines of several neighboring Asian countries experience severe shortages. As shortages of fuel impact critical chemical industrial processes in countries like Japan, China steps in to fill gaps in these supply chains, to prevent critical industrial sectors from collapsing. Because of sound environmental initiatives, China is in a prime position to export clean energy alternatives to countries suffering from the current energy crisis, as it is the largest producer of solar power, batteries, and electric vehicles. Not only has China’s long-term strategic stockpiling secured the well-being of its own population; it is also securing the well-being of other countries facing this crisis as well. As the world plunges deeper into a generation-defining crisis, happening at the tail-end of yet another generation-defining crisis, we can see that alternative systems are capable of actually addressing these problems effectively and rationally. State planning and the socialist mode of production, in the form of state-owned enterprises and cooperatives under the guidance of a communist party, are capable of addressing fundamental needs. As the crises of the modern era are increasingly showing us, a better world is possible. China is providing an example of how. (Geopolitical Economy) From Orinoco Tribune via This RSS Feed.
