It's a lot stronger than tahini, think its similar process but the sesame is roasted for this & raw for tahini

China has launched large-scale military drills around Taiwan, accusing its leaders of being “separatists” and “parasites” who were pushing the democratically run island into war.

The drills, accompanied by a propaganda campaign, were launched without warning on Tuesday morning. China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) said they were a “stern warning” to Taiwan’s democratically elected government over what Beijing claims is separatist activity.

Can't see anyone wanting to volunteer. It's not a notably noble cause, and it's been a fucking meat grinder for Russian troops since day 1.

Then again, who knows what these guys have been told about the conflict by Chinese state media.

WASHINGTON, April 11 (Reuters) - More than one hundred Chinese citizens fighting for the Russian military against Ukraine are mercenaries who do not appear to have a direct link to China's government, two U.S. officials familiar with American intelligence and a former Western intelligence official said.

Chinese military officers have, however, been in the theater behind Russia's lines with Beijing's approval to draw tactical lessons from the war, the former official told Reuters.
