my two TWC detectives for warmups... the way they are TOTAL OPPOSITES LOL

[ardentroia]

i was tagged by @dannydoteggg to create these cute lil picrews by @eatingyarn of my TWC detectives. i loved doing it especially for yasmin because she’s a new MC and it helped me flesh out her look a bit more! 

some facts about my children OwO:

left is Luna Bayu; she/her, romancing A and M. she is too nice for her own good and constantly puts others first, sometimes at the expense of herself. loves being a detective and loves being a small town girl. her UB bff on A’s route is F and N in M’s route. rebecca keeps letting her down and she forgives her every single time LMAO. lowkey throws herself into dangerous situations because she thinks being self sacrificing would make her life matter more. highest stat is people/psychology. majored in psychology during university where she met bobby and was with him throughout her uni years, took a lot of courage for her to finally dump him at the tail end of their last semester. yall have no idea how many bobby/luna headcanons i have because i unfortunately love that little shit but that’s for another day... 

right is Yasmin Yusof; she/her, romancing N. rebecca’s absence during her childhood affected her hard, she fell into a rough group, dropped out of school, committed crimes that was bad enough to almost land her in jail. being offered to work in law enforcement was her second chance at having a somewhat normal life so she took it. she’s a bit tamer now compared to her younger years but has no hesitation to be unhinged (like “i support women’s wrongs” unhinged) if necessary. unsurprisingly her UB bff is M and she is spiteful of rebecca LOL. highest stat is deduction/knowledge, a combination of her street smarts and also she spent some of her loneliest times growing up reading. isn’t in a relationship with N because she isn’t used to being pursued by someone so nice and genuine and she thinks she isn’t good enough for them even though she would literally die for them T_T

thank you so much for tagging me @dannydoteggg!! i would like to tag my bestie @robbsstrk and all these people @fivefve @kataktoad @sevlawless @auroraswife @pastel-miracles @hohojolly @mischiefy @blanerekner @iwanttobecomeavoid​ because the tags yall put under my recent TWC fanarts made me laugh snort so thank you!!!

US Should Clear-up Bombs It Left in Laos 🇱🇦 Before Questioning China's Influence There

— Ding Gang | July 26, 2023

Illustration: Liu Rui/Global Times

During Henry Kissinger's visit to Beijing last week, I was traveling in Laos. In conversations with Lao political and academic friends, I could always detect the presence of a shadow, that is, the influence of the US on Southeast Asia.

The US has a powerful presence in the region's economic, trade, political, and diplomacy spheres, even though the US and the region are separated by a vast ocean.

In Laos, looking around you feel like everything is from the past, like an old photo that has turned yellow but it's still clear. Older people will talk to you about the "secret wars" that the CIA orchestrated in Laos in the 1960s, and outside some houses, you will see American bomb casings erected. US warplanes dropped them on Laos decades ago, and sometimes they explode, injuring people nearby.

More than anything else, reality exists. When we talk about the Belt and Road Initiative, the cooperation in the Greater Mekong Region, there is always a mention of how the Americans see it, how the American media report it, and how they hype the so-called debt issue.

When a Hong Kong-funded company built a civilian airport in the Bokeo Province of Laos, US officials immediately came up to "visit" the region. It seems they were interested in more than just helping Laos remove the bombs.

A few days ago, the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, a Singaporean think tank, released a survey titled "Changing Perceptions in Laos Toward China," which said that more and more Laotian respondents are worried about China's economic influence. I wonder if the scholars who conducted the survey asked any Laotian farmers who benefited from eliminating bombs left by the US military by the Chinese companies or any Laotian employees who work for Chinese companies how much they earn per month.

In a recent report from the Chinese edition of the Voice of America, one scholar took the opportunity to call on Washington to commit to seizing the opportunity as a breaking point to check Beijing's expansion in Southeast Asia.

“US 🇺🇸 Dropped Bombs 💣 in Laos 🇱🇦, China 🇨🇳 Builds Railways 🚃”

"Check and balance" immediately makes me think of Henry Kissinger. It is the primary tool of the strategy of equilibrium that Kissinger "created" and utilized. The US has used such a tool to balance the challenges and maintain its hegemonic position.

Looking back over the past sixty years of China-US relations, it is easy to see that China is no longer a force that the US needs to utilize to counterbalance a main adversary.

Now, China is a friend of the US' enemy and even its foremost and long-term rival. That is why it is the first target of the US to check and balance.

This concept of checks and balances has profoundly affected the geopolitical understanding of China's neighboring countries, which have come to a juncture where they must draw a line in the sand.

When I took the high-speed train from Luang Prabang to Vientiane, I saw that all the compartments were almost full of passengers, most of them were Laotians. I observed them getting on and off the train with big bags, and I suddenly had a feeling that the US was tired. Suppose the China-Laos high-speed rail is seen as the rising China's economic energy spillover, reflecting the common pursuit of the development of China and Southeast Asian countries. In that case, who will the US checks and balances favor? And, can the US be checked and balanced?

China is not the Soviet Union in the Cold War era. China's rise is all-encompassing and multi-layered, a wide-ranging engagement and intermingling with its neighbors and the world, including the US, in almost all fields of industry, education, finance, culture, etc., and likewise a process in which 1.4 billion people are running towards affluence through peaceful development.

After I visit Bokeo Airport, I would like to say one thing: Americans are welcome to Southeast Asia to participate in the development. The infrastructure China is helping to build there will surely be a boon to American investment.

However, the best way for Americans to gain the trust of the Laotians is to first clean up the bombs they left behind.

It's time for the Americans and those who follow them to jump out of the loop of the equilibrium theory that has gone out of fashion.
