China is using a State Department update of its website on Taiwan to Putin-like argue that the U.S. wants to "contain, besiege, and strangle China" using Taiwan. The Chinese term for special military operation (tebie junshi xingdong) is now being used.

The IMF and World Bank consistently overestimate economic prospects in the Middle East by a whopping 2.5 percentage points of growth, followed by Africa, and then Latin America. Forecasts for Europe and East Asia are not inflated.
