Something that a lot of you might find really cool: With Nintendo's recent update for the Switch, you can now share most digital games (and DLC) with your friends/family using "Virtual Game Cards". Essentially, you're lending a digital copy of your game to your friends, and lose access to it yourself, for the duration that your friend is borrowing it.

One of the very first things I wondered was if you could share discontinued games that have been delisted. I personally have 2 or 3 of such games myself, including the legacy version of Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition, which never got a physical release and was delisted from the eShop in 2018 when the bedrock version replaced it.

I went to my friends house today to let him borrow a game, and we decided to test it out. I can confirm that it works! My friend has been wishing he could play the legacy version on Switch for years, and he can now finally do so because I was able to lend my digital game to him!

The lending is for 2 weeks, and the game will be automatically returned to me once the time is up. At that point, I will have to meet up with him in person again if he wants to continue borrowing the game.

Three Danish political parties have called for a government probe into China’s repression campaign against dissidents living in the Nordic country following the China Targets investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, the Danish newspaper Politiken and 41 other media outlets.

Lawmakers from the Unity List, the Danish People’s Party and The Alternative said they want to know how widespread Beijing’s targeting of political dissidents and members of oppressed minorities is and what authorities intend to do about it, Politiken reported.

Morten Messerschmidt, the leader of the right-wing Danish People’s Party, told Politiken that China Targets had unmasked the true face of the Chinese regime and said that, for too long, European politicians have turned a blind eye to its transnational repression.

“China successfully keeps its own population in a totalitarian iron grip, and they have a fundamental ambition to do the same with the rest of the world,” Messerschmidt said.

He described China as a “bully” state that Western countries had emboldened economically and militarily “through an extreme degree of naivety.”

China Targets uncovered the pressure tactics the Chinese government uses to silence and intimidate its critics abroad, including through proxies and professional hackers.

Björn Alexander Düben, an expert in Russia-China relations at China's Jilin University, thinks Xi's visit has a "highly symbolic element," noting that, apart from Brazil's President Lula da Silva, Xi was the only major world leader to attend the parade.

Düben noted a "personal rapport" between the two leaders and described how Xi "devotes more time to his interaction with Putin than practically any other international leader."

Russia needs China more than ever

As Western sanctions choke Russia's economy over the Ukraine war, Moscow increasingly counts on Beijing as a lifeline for energy and raw material exports.

China has risen to become Russia's top economic partner, with bilateral trade soaring to $244 billion (€216 billion) last year. In February 2022, the two countries signed a "no limits" economic, military, and diplomatic partnership to counter Western influence.

Since the war's onset, Russia's exports to China have skyrocketed by 63% to $129.3 billion, while Chinese imports have helped bolster Moscow's wartime economy, binding the two nations closer than ever.

[...]

Russia is now China's top source of crude oil imports, supplying around a fifth of imports.

The two powers have also tightened military bonds, ramping up joint war games and sharing cutting-edge defense technologies.

While Russia’s economy has proven more resilient to Western sanctions than most experts had expected, without China's economic support, Moscow would be in a "deep mess," Düben [said].

China's support props up war effort

As well as the expanded energy trade, Düben said China has given Russia access to manufactured goods and technologies that it cannot produce and that Western states no longer export to Russia.

The Yilin University associate professor said that without China's dual-use goods (civilian and military), "Russia’s armed forces would probably not be able to continue their military campaign against Ukraine."
