Still, there goes the best-damned employee a convenience store ever had. - ?Apu nahasapeemapetilon [[src]](/wiki/lisa%27s_pony) apu nahasapeemapetilon, jr., Also known as apu du beaumarchais, [[6]](#cite_note-6) slime q. Slimedog [[7]](#cite_note-7) and steve barnes, [[8]](#cite_note-8) is the operator of the [kwik-e-mart](/wiki/kwik-e-mart). He is a recurring character in [the simpsons](/wiki/the_simpsons). He is an immigrant from india, and as such, speaks with a strong indian accent. Accounts disagree as to whether he is a college dropout [[9]](#cite_note-police-9) or if he has a phd. [[10]](#cite_note-much_apu-10) [[11]](#cite_note-the_two_mrs-11) biography during the 1960s, while still living in india, apu spent some time as a student of the maharishi mahesh yogi, in which capacity he became a friend of paul and linda mccartney. Apus friendship with the mccartneys caused him to be referred to by some (mainly himself) as the fifth beatle. his education history is contradictory. Once, he said he graduated from caltech (the calcutta technical institute), where he was the top of his class of 7,000,000 pupils and got a scholarship in the united states at the [springfield heights institute of technology](/wiki/springfield_heights_institute_of_technology) shortly after. Once in the united states, he achieved a doctorate in computer science by designing the worlds first tic-tac-toe program that only the top human players could beat (which was broken by bart years later). He then took a job working at the [kwik-e-mart](/wiki/kwik-e-mart) to repay his student loan. [[10]](#cite_note-much_apu-10) in another account, he said he attended mit (the [mumbai institute of tantric sex](/wiki/mumbai_institute_of_tantric_sex)), and used the money he won from a card-counting ring there to purchase fake sat scores and get into the real mit. Apu failed every class, was kicked out, and had to move to springfield. [[9]](#cite_note-police-9) during the mid-1980s, apu was a member of the barbershop quartet called [the be sharps](/wiki/the_be_sharps), which also consisted of [homer simpson](/wiki/homer_simpson), [seymour skinner](/wiki/seymour_skinner), and [barney gumble](/wiki/barney_gumble), who replaced original band member [chief clancy wiggum](/wiki/clancy_wiggum). Upon the advice of [nigel](/wiki/nigel_(manager)), the bands manager, apu took the stage name apu du beaumarche and denied by the many arms of vishnu that he was actually a hindu. [[12]](#cite_note-12) apu and [manjula](/wiki/manjula_nahasapeemapetilon) married after two years, despite trying to wriggle out of the situation. He was won over soon after meeting manjula and the pair actually did fall in love. Later, manjula gave birth to octuplets after receiving a larger-than-recommended dose of fertility drugs. [[13]](#cite_note-13) apu and manjula have a mostly happy marriage, despite understandable marital problems caused by apus workaholic nature, the stress of caring for eight children, and two instances of infidelity by apu. He and his family are devotees of the hindu gods shiva, ganesha, and vishnu. At apus wedding, homer, in a misguided attempt to play on the bride and grooms families fear of the gods, arrived dressed as the hindu god ganesh. The impersonation was seen through by one of apus relatives and failed miserably. Before getting married, apu became known as the leading ladies man in springfield, because he holds a ph.D. And runs his own business. He also admitted, im not much of a talker, but i love to listen. I also like to design and build furniture and then to have a discussion about where it could be placed in a room, which made the single women of springfield go crazy for him. Despite his hectic marriage and home life, however, his first love is still to work at the kwik-e-mart, sometimes taking shifts long enough to send him into sleep-deprived hallucinations in which he thinks he is ...A hummingbird of some kind. Also after apu had an affair with [annette](/wiki/annette), [manjula](/wiki/manjula_nahasapeemapetilon) made him legally change his name to slime q slimedog. He is revealed to have slept with [selma bouvier](/wiki/selma_bouvier) after homer and marges second wedding. he claims to know pi to 40000 decimal places, noting that the last place (40001st digit of pi) is one (yet the true 40,001st digit is a 6). when he is elderly, he looks like [sanjay](/wiki/sanjay_nahasapeemapetilon). personality apu is generally polite towards his customers, always saying thank you, even after less-than-genial interactions with the public, such as armed hold-ups. He is also a dutiful worker to the point of being a virtual workaholic, spending so much time awake at one point he began to believe he was a hummingbird. He is often found spending more time at his workplace than even with his own family, to manjulas irritation, especially when she finds out that in america, workplaces normally have weekends off, a practice that apu evidently never told her. It is also implied in the show, and confirmed in one of the bongo comics, that apus workaholic nature grew more severe after his marriage to manjula and his becoming the father of octuplets, viewing his stressful home-life as a reason to continue working extensively at kwik-e-mart. Apu is also vegan, refusing to eat either animal meat or even anything that comes from an animal. [[14]](#cite_note-14) however, he has some negative traits, shown throughout the course of the show. His hard work ethic and though loyal attitude notwithstanding, marge in chains shows him ruthlessly prosecuting marge simpson over a misplaced and absentmindedly forgotten bottle of bourbon, and to even where he refuses the pleas of homer for him to drop the unjustified shoplifting charges and the trial for the sake of the reputation of security company joint sponsor of kwik-e-marts, nordyne defense dynamics. Apus antics with the squishy woman also highlights his infidelity that comes with his workaholic mentality. in some episodes, apu is even seen manipulating customers into buying things they dont really need (sometimes into things which may be potentially life-threatening and even fatal), and at exorbitantly jacked up prices. He also sometimes slips some snideness in his polite greetings. He has a bit of a paranoid nature, as evidenced by him once jumping behind a counter and then shouting threats to bart and lisa who were walking in to investigate a robbery at the kwik-e-mart, and on at least two occasions went up to the roof and started firing a rifle at potential customers. Apu is also not immune to practicing the customary traits of springfieldians, being backwardness, myopia, and even to outright stupidity, having been seen flocking to various questionable trends and to even participate in various mobbings. it is implied in a few episodes that apu may have some nudist inclinations, as, aside from a brief publicity stunt where he made the kwik-e-mart have a [clothing-optional policy](/wiki/nude-e-mart), he at one point while extremely drunk from the saint patricks day parade declared in a bullhorn for everyone to get naked and tried to entice the crowd by stating to not be stuck up as it will be great, [[15]](#cite_note-15) and when entering international waters, he was briefly seen dancing naked on [mr. Burns](/wiki/charles_montgomery_burns) yacht. [[16]](#cite_note-16) apu drives a red 1981 pontiac firebird trans am with t top roof heritage in addition to being brahmins, apu and manjula appear to be south indian, because of their last names and darker complexions. The name apu means loving child in the tamil language. However, apu has also been shown to be bengali, although apu got his name from the apu trilogy, which is in bengali. [[17]](#cite_note-17) however, manjula speaks hindi, the national language of india (interpreted as baby talk by [marge](/wiki/marge_simpson)), to maggie, as opposed to tamil or bengali, further complicating the debate. Still, apus parents very strongly appear to be tamil. [[10]](#cite_note-much_apu-10) [[11]](#cite_note-the_two_mrs-11) apu has a cousin named [kavi](/wiki/kavi), who lives in bangalore, which is part of karnataka, south india; which would imply that they are actually kannadigas. [[18]](#cite_note-18) his possible universities were either in calcutta (kolkata) [[10]](#cite_note-much_apu-10) or mumbai, [[9]](#cite_note-police-9) which are on different sides of india and have differing primary languages. immigrant status apu was an illegal alien whose student visa expired, as he wished to pay off his student debts in full before moving back to india. By the time this happened, he made so many friends he decided to stay. He later became a naturalized us citizen. [[10]](#cite_note-much_apu-10) family [sanjay](/wiki/sanjay_nahasapeemapetilon), apus brother, helps him run the kwik-e-mart. Sanjays daughter (and apus niece) is [pahusacheta](/wiki/pahusacheta_nahasapeemapetilon). Sanjays son is [jamshed](/wiki/jamshed_nahasapeemapetilon). They all share the nahasapeemapetilon surname. Apu has another younger brother, [tikku](/wiki/tikku_nahasapeemapetilon), who is mentioned in two episodes. When apus and manjulas parents were first arranging their marriage, apu was shown as the oldest of three on a chart. Apu also has a cousin living in india named [kavi](/wiki/kavi), who helped homer when he visited india. He works for many american companies taking service calls and can speak with american, western, and jamaican accents. [[19]](#cite_note-19) health due to his job at the [kwik-e-mart](/wiki/kwik-e-mart) and it frequently being a target for robbery, he has frequently ended up being shot and having to go to the hospital. He had been shot enough times that when springfield held a town meeting for what to do with $3mil they got from a lawsuit from mr burns after the latter was caught dumping nuclear waste in a park, apu suggested using it to train more competent cops and adding security to the [kwik-e-mart](/wiki/kwik-e-mart), citing his being shot on the job multiple times as a reason. Despite not liking being shot, however, he did at least have some attachment to it, as after taking a bullet for [james woods](/wiki/james_woods_(character)) after a robber tried to shoot him, he expressed nostalgia for being shot before telling woods he might be dying. Ironically, his past instances of being shot actually saved him from that shooting, as one lodged-in bullet managed to block that particular bullet from doing fatal damage to his heart. non-canon appearances video games apu has been a playable character in several simpsons games. He is the only non-simpson family playable character in the video game [the simpsons: hit and run](/wiki/the_simpsons:_hit_and_run), and his standard vehicle is a yellow version of his [pontiac firebird](/wiki/pontiac_firebird) called longhorn. He is in the fifth level which is downtown [springfield](/wiki/springfield) at night, where he tries to find the source of buzz cola and, with [bart simpson](/wiki/bart_simpson), uncovers the alien reality tv show that has fueled many of the games events. he is also a driver and passenger in [the simpsons road rage](/wiki/the_simpsons_road_rage) and is a fighter unlocked from the beginning in [the simpsons wrestling](/wiki/the_simpsons_wrestling). in [the simpsons game](/wiki/the_simpsons_game) when jimbo, dolph, and kearney are assigned by skinner to rob from the museum. They stop by the kwik e mart and apu witnesses them take milhouses pants by force. Later when bart and homer save and destroy part of the museum apu tells them that thanks to them his children will one day know the boredom of the museum. Apu later tells bart that springfields fattest pigs are signing up for the duff eating contest. After the contest apu tells bart way to give homer an unfair advantage in the eating contest. Later when mr. Burns is planning to cut down the forest he goes to the kwik e mart and buys a magazine called geo and leaves without buying it. After the foil of mr. Burnss plan, apu says to bart saving a forest will assure he will be at least a pigeon in his next life. Apu later joins marge to ban the itchy and scratchy game and succeeds. When the aliens invade springfield, apu sees the mall being attacked by aliens. Apu later heard on the radio that dolphins are attacking springfield and wishes that his donuts do not join the lard lad reign of terror. Apu tells bart that in honor of his victory he is serving dolphin flavored squishies. He tells bart that he really showed [lard lad](/wiki/lard_lad) whos boss. He then thanks bart for putting a small dent in the aliens plan. futurama although he did not appear fully in person in the simpsons sister show, [futurama](/wiki/futurama), his head could be seen in the head museum in space pilot 3000 and benders big score. [the simpsons guy](/wiki/the_simpsons_guy) in the simpsons/family guy crossover apu meets the griffins and welcomes them to the [kwik-e-mart](/wiki/kwik-e-mart). Later, apu is seen being tortured by [stewie griffin](/wiki/stewie_griffin), despite but not being barts enemy stewie just wanted to say he took a poo. [treehouse of horror series](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_series) in the [treehouse of horror viii](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_viii) segment, the h?Mega man apu becomes a mutant after the french bomb [springfield](/wiki/springfield) for making an offensive joke. in [treehouse of horror ix](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_ix) segment hell toupée [snake jailbird](/wiki/snake_jailbird) murders apu as revenge for snake being executed by shoving him into his own squishee machine. in second segment [treehouse of horror xx](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_xx), apu rescues the simpsons who is uninfected due to his vegetarianism and the fact that, as a store clerk, he has weapons stocked, while his wife is seen as a muncher, and his octuplets might be munchers, to arrives in an armored suv, driving the family out of springfield. While driving their way to the safe zone, helen lovejoy attacks the car and, though initially reluctant because helen is lisas godmother, marge relents and shoots her off of the car after apu tells helen to apologize in hell! However, the suv gets stuck in a pile of junk at the city dump. Apu sends the vehicle on its way by pushing it down the pile, unintentionally staying behind as he gets devoured (because marge thinks that he gave his life for them). in the first segment [treehouse of horror xxiv](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_xxiv), when bart, lisa, and maggie complain about wanting candy [fat in the hat](/wiki/fat_in_the_hat) holds apu at gunpoint, while the children take all the candy.

Burns](/wiki/charles_montgomery_burns). in [holidays of future passed](/wiki/holidays_of_future_passed), apu and [the nahasapeemapetilon octuplets](/wiki/the_nahasapeemapetilon_octuplets) stop [snake jailbird](/wiki/snake_jailbird) from robbing a kwik-e-mart. Later, marge visits him, [manjula nahasapeemapetilon](/wiki/manjula_nahasapeemapetilon) visits him [the nahasapeemapetilon octuplets octuplets](/wiki/the_nahasapeemapetilon_octuplets%27_octuplets) after the children all start crying and screaming. After marge shuts the door apu then tends to a dead cow which keeps telling its not (sanjay) him, he has mistaken as the reincarnation of his brother [sanjay nahasapeemapetilon](/wiki/sanjay_nahasapeemapetilon). behind the laughter apu was voiced by [hank azaria](/wiki/hank_azaria), who, owing to the characters indian origins, voiced him with a hindi accent. apus surname, nahasapeemapetilon, is an anagram of the name pahasanee mapetilon, which are the first and last names of a schoolmate of simpsons writer [jeff martin](/wiki/jeff_martin). apus backstory in [sky police](/wiki/sky_police) about being a card counter in university, parodies a real-world mit card counting blackjack team, which was dramatized in the 2008 film 21). merchandising apu has had four action figures in the [world of springfield](/wiki/world_of_springfield) line. There is also an apu figure in the kidrobot figure line. in may 2014, [lego](/wiki/lego) released a minifigure series based on [the simpsons](/wiki/the_simpsons). It included 16 characters from the series, apu was one of them. in 2015, as part of [lego the simpsons theme](/wiki/lego_the_simpsons_theme), a set based on the [kwik-e-mart](/wiki/kwik-e-mart) was released. It included a variant of apu wearing his kwik-e-mart uniform. controversy it has been argued that the portrayal of apu is a racist caricature. [[20]](#cite_note-20) [](#cite_note-:0-21) during the 7-eleven promotion in 2007, some members of the indian-american community voiced concerns that apu is a caricature that plays on too many negative stereotypes. Despite this, 7-eleven reported that many of its indian employees reacted positively to the idea, but noted that it was not a 100 percent endorsement. [[22]](#cite_note-22) according to comedian hari kondabolu, in a totally biased with w. Kamau bell web exclusive segment, there is a negative reaction to apu in the indian american community, as well as the greater south asian diaspora community. [[23]](#cite_note-23) pakistani-american comedian and actor kumail nanjiani has also criticized the character, [[24]](#cite_note-24) and has related that early in his career, he was asked to do the apu accent as a stereotypical version of the indian accent. [[25]](#cite_note-25) in a 2007 interview, azaria (who is of sephardic jewish descent) acknowledged some of this criticism when he recalled a conversation with the writers of the show during the inception of the character: right away they were like can you do an indian accent and how offensive can you make it? Basically. I was like, its not tremendously accurate. Its a little, uh, stereotype, and they were like, eh, thats all right. [[26]](#cite_note-26) [[27]](#cite_note-27) in a 2013 interview with the huffington post, azaria said it should not be expected that the characters accent would suddenly change now or that the character would be written out, saying, id be surprised if [the shows writers] write him any less frequently because hes offensive. in 2016, kondabolu announced his intention to produce a documentary about how this controversial caricature was created, burrowed its way into the hearts and minds of americans and continues to exist – intact – twenty-six years later. [[28]](#cite_note-28) in 2017, kondabolu released the hour-long documentary the problem with apu. In the film, kondabolu interviews other actors and comics of south asian heritage about the impact that the character of apu has had on their lives and the perception of south asians in american culture. [[29]](#cite_note-ito,_2017-29) on the late show with stephen colbert, azaria said that he would be perfectly willing to step aside from the role of voicing apu, saying that he was increasingly worried about the character causing harm by reinforcing stereotypes and that the most important thing is to listen to indian people and their experience with it ... I really want to see indian, south asian writers in the writers room, genuinely informing whichever direction this character takes. [[30]](#cite_note-30) kondabolu had a positive reaction to azarias comments. [[31]](#cite_note-31) despite the controversy around the character, some indians and indian americans do like the character, even with these latter making parody and satire videos mocking the controversy around apu and azaria. [[32]](#cite_note-32) [[33]](#cite_note-33) [[34]](#cite_note-34) [[35]](#cite_note-35) [[36]](#cite_note-36) [[37]](#cite_note-37) [[38]](#cite_note-38) [[39]](#cite_note-39) simpsons response to apus controversy the simpsons episode [no good read goes unpunished](/wiki/no_good_read_goes_unpunished), first aired on april 8, 2018, was widely received as a response to kondabolus film. in it, marge finds that a book she loved as a child contains elements that would now be considered offensive, and edits the book herself to remove these elements. In doing this she finds the book loses its emotional journey. She and lisa then look to a picture of apu, and lisa comments that something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive, is now politically incorrect. What can you do? Kondabolu wrote on twitter that he was disappointed that the message of his film had been reduced to the concept of politically incorrect. [[40]](#cite_note-40) in an interview with usa today, creator [matt groening](/wiki/matt_groening) dismissed the criticism of the apu character, saying, i think it’s a time in our culture where people love to pretend they’re offended. [[41]](#cite_note-41) [[42]](#cite_note-42) dana walden, the ceo of the [20th century fox television](/wiki/20th_century_fox_television), said in an august 2018 interview in regards to the apu controversy that the network trusts the showrunners to handle it in the way that’s best for the show. [[43]](#cite_note-43) on october 26th, 2018, it was rumored that the shows producers, following the heated controversy surrounding the character’s stereotyping, would remove apu from the show entirely. Hank azaria had been previously been quoted as saying that he was fine with stepping away from the character. [[44]](#cite_note-44) [al jean](/wiki/al_jean) later dismissed the rumor as being not true. [[45]](#cite_note-45) [[46]](#cite_note-46) in early 2020, azaria announced that he was stepping away from the apu character, primarily because of the stereotypes and bias it perpetuated. [[47]](#cite_note-47) in march 2021, matt groening is planning to bring back apu with new stories, and says that he is working on something ambitious for the character. Since azaria stepped away from voicing apu, groening is still looking for a voice actor. in april 2021, hank azaria apologized to every indian for voicing apu. trivia - apu is a vegan. - the ethnic background of apu is debated; as one episode implies that he is bengali, in another episode he is said to be hindu, in another he is kannadiga and he is tamil in another one. - in [treehouse of horror ix](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_ix), in the segment hell toupée, [chief wiggum](/wiki/chief_wiggum)was unable to pronounce apus surname, so he blames [homer](/wiki/homer)only for [moe](/wiki/moe)s murder. - apu owns a halloween store called [official halloween headquarters](/wiki/official_halloween_headquarters). appearances [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [the telltale head](/wiki/the_telltale_head) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homers night out](/wiki/homer%27s_night_out) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [krusty gets busted](/wiki/krusty_gets_busted) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [bart gets an f](/wiki/bart_gets_an_%22f%22) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homer vs. Lisa and the 8th commandment](/wiki/homer_vs._lisa_and_the_8th_commandment) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [principal charming](/wiki/principal_charming) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [barts dog gets an f](/wiki/bart%27s_dog_gets_an_f) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [old money](/wiki/old_money) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [brush with greatness](/wiki/brush_with_greatness) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [three men and a comic book](/wiki/three_men_and_a_comic_book) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [stark raving dad](/wiki/stark_raving_dad) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [when flanders failed](/wiki/when_flanders_failed) (cameo) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homer defined](/wiki/homer_defined) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [like father, like clown](/wiki/like_father,_like_clown) [thoh](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_series)– [treehouse of horror ii](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_ii) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [lisas pony](/wiki/lisa%27s_pony) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [radio bart](/wiki/radio_bart) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [bart the lover](/wiki/bart_the_lover) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homer at the bat](/wiki/homer_at_the_bat) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [separate vocations](/wiki/separate_vocations) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [dog of death](/wiki/dog_of_death) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [black widower](/wiki/black_widower) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [the otto show](/wiki/the_otto_show) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [brother, can you spare two dimes?](/Wiki/brother,_can_you_spare_two_dimes%3f) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [a streetcar named marge](/wiki/a_streetcar_named_marge) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homer the heretic](/wiki/homer_the_heretic) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [lisa the beauty queen](/wiki/lisa_the_beauty_queen) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [new kid on the block](/wiki/new_kid_on_the_block) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [mr.

victor yerrid (robot chicken) revision as of 02:26, 27 april 2024 - thank you! Come again. - ?Apus catchphrase - that is a great dishonor to my ancestors and my god, but okay. - ?Apu - okay, whatever. - ?Apu, once in response to one of his octuplets - alright. - ? [the simpsons tapped out](/wiki/the_simpsons_tapped_out) - i cant believe you dont shut up! - ?Referring to [homer](/wiki/homer)or someone else - (referring to homer) he slept, he stole, he was rude to the customers. Still, there goes the best-damned employee a convenience store ever had. - ?Apu nahasapeemapetilon [[src]](/wiki/lisa%27s_pony) apu nahasapeemapetilon, jr., Also known as apu du beaumarchais, [[6]](#cite_note-6) slime q. Slimedog [[7]](#cite_note-7) and steve barnes, [[8]](#cite_note-8) is the operator of the [kwik-e-mart](/wiki/kwik-e-mart). He is a recurring character in [the simpsons](/wiki/the_simpsons). He is an immigrant from india, and as such, speaks with a strong indian accent. Accounts disagree as to whether he is a college dropout [[9]](#cite_note-police-9) or if he has a phd. [[10]](#cite_note-much_apu-10) [[11]](#cite_note-the_two_mrs-11) biography during the 1960s, while still living in india, apu spent some time as a student of the maharishi mahesh yogi, in which capacity he became a friend of paul and linda mccartney. Apus friendship with the mccartneys caused him to be referred to by some (mainly himself) as the fifth beatle. his education history is contradictory. Once, he said he graduated from caltech (the calcutta technical institute), where he was the top of his class of 7,000,000 pupils and got a scholarship in the united states at the [springfield heights institute of technology](/wiki/springfield_heights_institute_of_technology) shortly after. Once in the united states, he achieved a doctorate in computer science by designing the worlds first tic-tac-toe program that only the top human players could beat (which was broken by bart years later). He then took a job working at the [kwik-e-mart](/wiki/kwik-e-mart) to repay his student loan. [[10]](#cite_note-much_apu-10) in another account, he said he attended mit (the [mumbai institute of tantric sex](/wiki/mumbai_institute_of_tantric_sex)), and used the money he won from a card-counting ring there to purchase fake sat scores and get into the real mit. Apu failed every class, was kicked out, and had to move to springfield. [[9]](#cite_note-police-9) during the mid-1980s, apu was a member of the barbershop quartet called [the be sharps](/wiki/the_be_sharps), which also consisted of [homer simpson](/wiki/homer_simpson), [seymour skinner](/wiki/seymour_skinner), and [barney gumble](/wiki/barney_gumble), who replaced original band member [chief clancy wiggum](/wiki/clancy_wiggum). Upon the advice of [nigel](/wiki/nigel_(manager)), the bands manager, apu took the stage name apu du beaumarche and denied by the many arms of vishnu that he was actually a hindu. [[12]](#cite_note-12) apu and [manjula](/wiki/manjula_nahasapeemapetilon) married after two years, despite trying to wriggle out of the situation. He was won over soon after meeting manjula and the pair actually did fall in love. Later, manjula gave birth to octuplets after receiving a larger-than-recommended dose of fertility drugs. [[13]](#cite_note-13) apu and manjula have a mostly happy marriage, despite understandable marital problems caused by apus workaholic nature, the stress of caring for eight children, and two instances of infidelity by apu. He and his family are devotees of the hindu gods shiva, ganesha, and vishnu. At apus wedding, homer, in a misguided attempt to play on the bride and grooms families fear of the gods, arrived dressed as the hindu god ganesh. The impersonation was seen through by one of apus relatives and failed miserably. Before getting married, apu became known as the leading ladies man in springfield, because he holds a ph.D. And runs his own business. He also admitted, im not much of a talker, but i love to listen. I also like to design and build furniture and then to have a discussion about where it could be placed in a room, which made the single women of springfield go crazy for him. Despite his hectic marriage and home life, however, his first love is still to work at the kwik-e-mart, sometimes taking shifts long enough to send him into sleep-deprived hallucinations in which he thinks he is ...A hummingbird of some kind. Also after apu had an affair with [annette](/wiki/annette), [manjula](/wiki/manjula_nahasapeemapetilon) made him legally change his name to slime q slimedog. He is revealed to have slept with [selma bouvier](/wiki/selma_bouvier) after homer and marges second wedding. he claims to know pi to 40000 decimal places, noting that the last place (40001st digit of pi) is one (yet the true 40,001st digit is a 6). when he is elderly, he looks like [sanjay](/wiki/sanjay_nahasapeemapetilon). personality apu is generally polite towards his customers, always saying thank you, even after less-than-genial interactions with the public, such as armed hold-ups. He is also a dutiful worker to the point of being a virtual workaholic, spending so much time awake at one point he began to believe he was a hummingbird. He is often found spending more time at his workplace than even with his own family, to manjulas irritation, especially when she finds out that in america, workplaces normally have weekends off, a practice that apu evidently never told her. It is also implied in the show, and confirmed in one of the bongo comics, that apus workaholic nature grew more severe after his marriage to manjula and his becoming the father of octuplets, viewing his stressful home-life as a reason to continue working extensively at kwik-e-mart. Apu is also vegan, refusing to eat either animal meat or even anything that comes from an animal. [[14]](#cite_note-14) however, he has some negative traits, shown throughout the course of the show. His hard work ethic and though loyal attitude notwithstanding, marge in chains shows him ruthlessly prosecuting marge simpson over a misplaced and absentmindedly forgotten bottle of bourbon, and to even where he refuses the pleas of homer for him to drop the unjustified shoplifting charges and the trial for the sake of the reputation of security company joint sponsor of kwik-e-marts, nordyne defense dynamics. Apus antics with the squishy woman also highlights his infidelity that comes with his workaholic mentality. in some episodes, apu is even seen manipulating customers into buying things they dont really need (sometimes into things which may be potentially life-threatening and even fatal), and at exorbitantly jacked up prices. He also sometimes slips some snideness in his polite greetings. He has a bit of a paranoid nature, as evidenced by him once jumping behind a counter and then shouting threats to bart and lisa who were walking in to investigate a robbery at the kwik-e-mart, and on at least two occasions went up to the roof and started firing a rifle at potential customers. Apu is also not immune to practicing the customary traits of springfieldians, being backwardness, myopia, and even to outright stupidity, having been seen flocking to various questionable trends and to even participate in various mobbings. it is implied in a few episodes that apu may have some nudist inclinations, as, aside from a brief publicity stunt where he made the kwik-e-mart have a [clothing-optional policy](/wiki/nude-e-mart), he at one point while extremely drunk from the saint patricks day parade declared in a bullhorn for everyone to get naked and tried to entice the crowd by stating to not be stuck up as it will be great, [[15]](#cite_note-15) and when entering international waters, he was briefly seen dancing naked on [mr.

The name apu means loving child in the tamil language. However, apu has also been shown to be bengali, although apu got his name from the apu trilogy, which is in bengali. [[17]](#cite_note-17) however, manjula speaks hindi, the national language of india (interpreted as baby talk by [marge](/wiki/marge_simpson)), to maggie, as opposed to tamil or bengali, further complicating the debate.

Despite not liking being shot, however, he did at least have some attachment to it, as after taking a bullet for [james woods](/wiki/james_woods_(character)) after a robber tried to shoot him, he expressed nostalgia for being shot before telling woods he might be dying. Ironically, his past instances of being shot actually saved him from that shooting, as one lodged-in bullet managed to block that particular bullet from doing fatal damage to his heart. non-canon appearances video games apu has been a playable character in several simpsons games.

[[20]](#cite_note-20) [](#cite_note-:0-21) during the 7-eleven promotion in 2007, some members of the indian-american community voiced concerns that apu is a caricature that plays on too many negative stereotypes. Despite this, 7-eleven reported that many of its indian employees reacted positively to the idea, but noted that it was not a 100 percent endorsement. [[22]](#cite_note-22) according to comedian hari kondabolu, in a totally biased with w. Kamau bell web exclusive segment, there is a negative reaction to apu in the indian american community, as well as the greater south asian diaspora community. [[23]](#cite_note-23) pakistani-american comedian and actor kumail nanjiani has also criticized the character, [[24]](#cite_note-24) and has related that early in his career, he was asked to do the apu accent as a stereotypical version of the indian accent. [[25]](#cite_note-25) in a 2007 interview, azaria (who is of sephardic jewish descent) acknowledged some of this criticism when he recalled a conversation with the writers of the show during the inception of the character: right away they were like can you do an indian accent and how offensive can you make it? Basically. I was like, its not tremendously accurate. Its a little, uh, stereotype, and they were like, eh, thats all right. [[26]](#cite_note-26) [[27]](#cite_note-27) in a 2013 interview with the huffington post, azaria said it should not be expected that the characters accent would suddenly change now or that the character would be written out, saying, id be surprised if [the shows writers] write him any less frequently because hes offensive. in 2016, kondabolu announced his intention to produce a documentary about how this controversial caricature was created, burrowed its way into the hearts and minds of americans and continues to exist – intact – twenty-six years later. [[28]](#cite_note-28) in 2017, kondabolu released the hour-long documentary the problem with apu. In the film, kondabolu interviews other actors and comics of south asian heritage about the impact that the character of apu has had on their lives and the perception of south asians in american culture. [[29]](#cite_note-ito,_2017-29) on the late show with stephen colbert, azaria said that he would be perfectly willing to step aside from the role of voicing apu, saying that he was increasingly worried about the character causing harm by reinforcing stereotypes and that the most important thing is to listen to indian people and their experience with it ... I really want to see indian, south asian writers in the writers room, genuinely informing whichever direction this character takes. [[30]](#cite_note-30) kondabolu had a positive reaction to azarias comments. [[31]](#cite_note-31) despite the controversy around the character, some indians and indian americans do like the character, even with these latter making parody and satire videos mocking the controversy around apu and azaria.

In doing this she finds the book loses its emotional journey. She and lisa then look to a picture of apu, and lisa comments that something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive, is now politically incorrect. What can you do? Kondabolu wrote on twitter that he was disappointed that the message of his film had been reduced to the concept of politically incorrect. [[40]](#cite_note-40) in an interview with usa today, creator [matt groening](/wiki/matt_groening) dismissed the criticism of the apu character, saying, i think it’s a time in our culture where people love to pretend they’re offended. [[41]](#cite_note-41) [[42]](#cite_note-42) dana walden, the ceo of the [20th century fox television](/wiki/20th_century_fox_television), said in an august 2018 interview in regards to the apu controversy that the network trusts the showrunners to handle it in the way that’s best for the show. [[43]](#cite_note-43) on october 26th, 2018, it was rumored that the shows producers, following the heated controversy surrounding the character’s stereotyping, would remove apu from the show entirely. Hank azaria had been previously been quoted as saying that he was fine with stepping away from the character. [[44]](#cite_note-44) [al jean](/wiki/al_jean) later dismissed the rumor as being not true. [[45]](#cite_note-45) [[46]](#cite_note-46) in early 2020, azaria announced that he was stepping away from the apu character, primarily because of the stereotypes and bias it perpetuated. [[47]](#cite_note-47) in march 2021, matt groening is planning to bring back apu with new stories, and says that he is working on something ambitious for the character. Since azaria stepped away from voicing apu, groening is still looking for a voice actor. in april 2021, hank azaria apologized to every indian for voicing apu. trivia - apu is a vegan. - the ethnic background of apu is debated; as one episode implies that he is bengali, in another episode he is said to be hindu, in another he is kannadiga and he is tamil in another one. - in [treehouse of horror ix](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_ix), in the segment hell toupée, [chief wiggum](/wiki/chief_wiggum)was unable to pronounce apus surname, so he blames [homer](/wiki/homer)only for [moe](/wiki/moe)s murder. - apu owns a halloween store called [official halloween headquarters](/wiki/official_halloween_headquarters). appearances [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [the telltale head](/wiki/the_telltale_head) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homers night out](/wiki/homer%27s_night_out) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [krusty gets busted](/wiki/krusty_gets_busted) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [bart gets an f](/wiki/bart_gets_an_%22f%22) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homer vs. Lisa and the 8th commandment](/wiki/homer_vs._lisa_and_the_8th_commandment) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [principal charming](/wiki/principal_charming) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [barts dog gets an f](/wiki/bart%27s_dog_gets_an_f) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [old money](/wiki/old_money) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [brush with greatness](/wiki/brush_with_greatness) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [three men and a comic book](/wiki/three_men_and_a_comic_book) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [stark raving dad](/wiki/stark_raving_dad) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [when flanders failed](/wiki/when_flanders_failed) (cameo) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homer defined](/wiki/homer_defined) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [like father, like clown](/wiki/like_father,_like_clown) [thoh](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_series)– [treehouse of horror ii](/wiki/treehouse_of_horror_ii) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [lisas pony](/wiki/lisa%27s_pony) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [radio bart](/wiki/radio_bart) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [bart the lover](/wiki/bart_the_lover) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homer at the bat](/wiki/homer_at_the_bat) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [separate vocations](/wiki/separate_vocations) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [dog of death](/wiki/dog_of_death) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [black widower](/wiki/black_widower) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [the otto show](/wiki/the_otto_show) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [brother, can you spare two dimes?](/Wiki/brother,_can_you_spare_two_dimes%3f) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [a streetcar named marge](/wiki/a_streetcar_named_marge) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [homer the heretic](/wiki/homer_the_heretic) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [lisa the beauty queen](/wiki/lisa_the_beauty_queen) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [new kid on the block](/wiki/new_kid_on_the_block) [episode](/wiki/list_of_episodes)– [mr.

D.C. police fired as controversial police reform bill takes effect

Posted on Saturday, April 27 @ 00:00:05 PDT (1 reads)

12 dc police officers with history of serious misconduct dismissed amid police reform [mary walrath-holdridge](https://www.Usatoday.Com/staff/12093029002/mary-walrathholdridge/) twenty-one district of columbia officers will be barred from the force after april 30 thanks to a controversial policing bill, according to the metropolitan police department (mpd). The affected members are all senior police officers or senior sergeants, retired officers who returned to serve in the department once more, said the d.C. Police union. Metro pd said 12 of the officers will not have their contracts renewed due to restrictions put in place by the comprehensive policing and justice reform amendment act of 2022, which prohibits officers with any serious misconduct in their backgrounds from serving on the force. The 2022 act, a permanent version of an emergency response implemented in 2020 following the murder of george floyd, made several sweeping legislative changes, including increasing access to disciplinary police records, restrictions on the use of force and parameters for hiring and firing. While serious misconduct is left to be determination by the chief by general order, some examples outlined by the iad include but are not limited to: - criminal charges or arrest - being the subject of a protection order - unlawful discrimination - false arrest and/or filing false charges - acts of retaliation or retribution - intentional provision of false information in any official capacity - civil lawsuits alleging sworn member misconduct while in an official capacity - civil lawsuits alleging acts of physical violence, threats of physical violence, racial bias, dishonesty, or fraud while off-duty - positive drug screenings the dc police union said in a statement that mpd cited the 2022 bill as the reason for the dismissal of 12 officers. The remaining nine officers did not have their contracts renewed for a variety of reasons. This bill, which is inarguably the worst piece of public safety legislation the dc council has ever passed, continues to wreak havoc on the police department, the dc police union said in a statement. The bill prohibits the hiring of sworn personnel if they have ever received sustained discipline from any law enforcement agency ... Meaning that these officers, who have spent their careers serving and protecting this city, are ineligible to be retained by the mpd due to prior administrative personnel matters, some of which are over 20 years old. The union has called for the act to be repealed, saying staffing is already short and that more than 1,300 members of the force have left since the initial temporary legislation in 2020. The union has made repeated posts and videos across social media since the passing of the bill, targeting its supporters such as council member charles allen, and demanding the chairman of the dc council, phil mendelson, repeal it. College protest updates: [columbia faces protest deadline; usc cancels main graduation ceremony](/story/news/nation/2024/04/25/israel-war-college-protests-live-updates/73449767007/) what is the comprehensive policing and justice reform amendment act of 2022? The [comprehensive policing and justice reform amendment act of 2022](https://code.Dccouncil.Gov/us/dc/council/laws/24-345) is a washington, d.C. Law passed in 2022 to address transparency and accountability in the police force. It is a more permanent version of a temporary emergency measure put in place in 2020 following the [ murder of george floyd by minneapolis police.](/Story/news/nation/2022/05/18/george-floyd-death-ex-police-officer-pleads-guilty-manslaughter/9821116002/) passed by the d.C. Council in december of 2022, it was submitted for congressional review in january of 2023, where both the house and senate voted against the legislation. However, president joe biden vetoed this decision and the law went into effect in april 2023. The bill outlines parameters for police conduct, including the use of chokeholds and public access to bodycam footage. Some [major points in the bill include:](https://www.Rpc.Senate.Gov/imo/media/doc/senator%20ernst%20cover%20letter.Pdf) - banning the use of neck and asphyxiating restraints. Chokeholds and neck restraints had already been prohibited via a 1985 law, but the 2022 bill sought to unequivocally strengthen this ban. Additionally, if an officer sees another officer using a prohibited restraint, they are required to render aid or contact emergency medical services. - Improving access to body-worn camera footage. The bill requires the release of the names and body-worn camera recordings of officers directly involved in an officer-involved death or serious use of force. The bill also requires the pd to maintain a public database with the names and body-worn camera recordings of all officers who were directly involved in an officer-involved death. - Reforms and expansions to records access. Amongst these changes was an amendment to make officer disciplinary records subject to public release under the d.C. Freedom of information act (foia). A public database of officers facing disciplinary action that may result in termination is also to be maintained. - Limitations on consent searches. Extensive warnings to ensure that citizens understand the consequences of a search before consenting are outlined and must be used by officers before conducting a search. If evidence of the consent is not captured on a body cam or in writing, it will be presumed that the search was non-consensual. - Use of force reforms. Officers must employ de-escalation tactics before using force and incidences of deadly force will be reviewed via outlined criteria. Officers who witness a colleague using unnecessary force are required to report it. - Changes to hiring practices. D.C. Police are barred from hiring officers disciplined or fired for serious misconduct in the past. What constitutes serious is not fully defined but includes positive drug tests, criminal arrests or criminal charges and unlawful discrimination. Protest arrests: [arrests at usc amid pro-palestine protests nationwide; southern california campus closed](/story/news/education/2024/04/24/university-of-southern-california-gaza-war-protesters-arrested/73447200007/) controversial legislation the act has proven controversial since its inception. Congressional republicans and the police union have been vocal opponents of the bill. Ohio republican sen. Jd vance [wrote a disapproval resolution](https://www.Vance.Senate.Gov/press-releases/senator-vance-introduces-disapproval-motion-to-nullify-dcs-radical-anti-policing-law/) with the support of other republicans, pointing to crime data from washington. Those in favor of the bill said these resolutions introduced in congress to stop the bill directly violated the rights of washington, d.C. Residents to self-govern. Congresswoman eleanor holmes norton told the house that attempts to nullify legislation enacted by the local, elected government trampled on d.C. Residents rights, seeing as they have no representation in the house. “By scheduling this vote, i can only conclude that the republican leadership believes that d.C. Residents, the majority of whom are black and brown, are unworthy of governing themselves, [she said.](Https://norton.House.Gov/media/press-releases/norton-speaks-house-floor-opposing-resolution-nullify-dc-policing-reform)

NCAA Football: ACC Football Championship-Louisville at Florida State

Posted on Saturday, April 27 @ 00:00:05 PDT (0 reads)

[] ncaa football: acc football championship-louisville at florida state - bob donnan-usa today sports - - updated [comments](/sports/national/ncaa-football-acc-football-championship-louisville-at-florida-state/image_936948d7-1f04-57ca-b47d-582cd17c175d.Html#comments) as featured on one day after offense dominated the first round of the nfl draft, the buffalo bills and los angeles chargers selected a pair of wide receivers back-to-back to start the second round friday night in detroit. The bills used the first pick of round 2 (no. 33 overall) to select florida state wide receiver keon coleman. It marked the first selection of the draft for the bills, who hope that coleman will provide quarterback josh allen with a deep threat after the team traded wideout stefon diggs to the houston texans earlier this month. The chargers picked georgia wide receiver ladd mcconkey moments later with the 34th overall pick. Mcconkey also could fill a void after los angeles sent veteran keenan allen to the chicago bears last month. Four of the next five picks were defensive linemen. The atlanta falcons took clemsons ruke orhorhoro, the washington commanders drafted illinois johnny newton, the tennessee titans turned to texas tvondre sweat and the los angeles rams nabbed florida states braden fiske. The only team that did not beef up its defensive line in that five-pick stretch was the new england patriots, who drafted washington wide receiver jalynn polk at no. 37 overall. The 6-foot-1, 203-pound receiver will team up with rookie quarterback drake maye, whom the patriots took at no. 3 overall on friday night. Four consecutive cornerbacks went off the board in picks no. 40-43. The philadelphia eagles started the run by drafting cooper dejean, an all-american out of iowa whom many had projected as a first-round pick. The next three picks were alabamas kool-aid mckinstry to the new orleans saints, georgias kamari lassiter to the texans and rutgers max melton to the arizona cardinals. Texas jonathon brooks was the first running back to be selected this year. The carolina panthers picked brooks at no. 46 overall after he rushed for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns in 10 games with the longhorns in 2023. Another longhorns skill player, wide receiver adonai mitchell, went to the indianapolis colts at no. 52. Mitchell, who hauled in 11 touchdowns among his 55 catches last season, will pair with second-year quarterback anthony richardson in indianapolis. The detroit lions, the host team of the draft this season, selected a cornerback for the second day in a row. The lions chose missouri cornerback ennis rakestraw jr.

Sing tao makes history with national newspaper awards win canada newswire toronto, april 26, 2024 globe and mails doug saunders named journalist of the year toronto , april 26, 2024 /cnw/ - a team from sing tao won the special topic award on friday, becoming the first journalists in the 75-year history of the national newspaper awards to be recognized for work done in a language other than french or english. the journalists were honoured for the four-part series embracing canada, which explored the challenges faced by the second wave of immigrants from hong kong . Sing tao is a chinese-language publication, with offices in vancouver and toronto . the series included interviews with recent immigrants and explored the shortcomings and future of canadas immigration pathway program, while also providing helpful information about entrepreneurship and healthcare in the country. Judges said it provided a comprehensive picture of what newcomers from hong kong will face in their new home. the category was created last fall as part of an ongoing commitment to make the competition more diverse and inclusive, better reflecting the range of publications and journalism across the country. the team from sing tao received one of 25 awards on the night, which ended with doug saunders of the globe and mail being named journalist of the year. saunders, who also won the norman webster award for international reporting, was selected by a panel of judges from among 17 winning entries submitted by one or two individuals. judges said: the time, energy, personal risk and extraordinary ingenuity doug saunders put into this assignment produced the most detailed and touching portrait of migration on a global scale that our jury has ever seen. Saunders brought 21st-century tools and old-fashioned reporters instincts to this compelling package of interdisciplinary reporting. two projects were also recognized. The globe and mail won project of the year for secret canada, while the climate disaster project based out of the university of victoria received a special recognition citation. secret canada was the culmination of an investigation into canadas access to information system that spanned more than 18 months. The globe and mail not only exposed major problems within the system but humanized them. They also created a solution to one of the systems major flaws: the vast majority of public institutions dont publish completed foi requests online. As part of the project, the globe built an online portal to house completed access requests from across the country. It can be accessed by anyone who is interested, including freelancers and journalists in smaller newsrooms who may not be able to afford foi fees. judges called the project a win for journalists and for democracy. Surveys of secretcanada.Com users show the site is being used in newsrooms across the country and as a teaching tool in journalism schools. the climate disaster project received a special recognition citation, which was handed out for just the second time. Established in september 2021 , and led by founding director sean holman out of the university of victoria , the project is essentially a teaching newsroom. So far, almost 200 journalism and writing students from across canada have been trained to cover climate change from the frontlines in an empathetic, trauma-informed way, respecting the dignity of survivors. the stories, which include investigative work and first-person accounts, are preserved on the climate disaster project website. In 2023, they were amplified by organizations such as the tyee, the national observer, the fraser valley current and the royal b.C. Museum. judges applauded the trauma-informed approach to journalism as well as the structure of the project and the many partnerships created. They said it was a model of cooperation that can be replicated in other newsrooms as they shrink. the citation was created as part of an effort to honour journalism that doesnt fit neatly into the nnas existing 23 categories, but had an exceptional impact on the canadian news industry. Room up front, a volunteer-run initiative seeking to combat inequality in the canadian photojournalism community, received the inaugural citation last year. other highlights: there were 10 first-time winners this year: matt simmons , cara mckenna and marty clemens , indiginews and the narwhal (arts and entertainment); sara mojtehedzadeh, toronto star (co-winner in business); max fawcett , national observer (columns); matt goerzen , the brandon sun (editorial writing); darryl greer , canadian press (investigations); tyler olsen , fraser valley current (local reporting); goran tomasevic , globe and mail (news photo); and jane sims , london free press (short feature). Sing tao was one of four publications to win for the first time, along with the fraser valley current, indiginews and the narwhal. Editorial cartoonist bruce mackinnon of the halifax chronicle herald won his ninth nna, matching the all-time record set by grant robertson of the globe and mail last year. The globe and mail led all organizations with seven wins among the 23 regular categories. La presse had three, as did the toronto star, including one shared with the narwhal. The brandon sun and the narwhal both won two awards. The narwhals second award was shared with indiginews. There were 69 finalists in 23 categories, representing 26 news organizations. Thirteen organizations won at least one award. finalists and winners were selected by three-judge panels in each category from 892 entries submitted for work published for the first time in 2023. Entries were submitted by 64 news organizations. Several of those organizations, plus an additional five that would not otherwise have been eligible for the contest, were also considered for the special recognition citation. this is the 75th year for the awards program, and the 35th under the current administrative structure.

Blinken Warns China Over Support For Russia’s War Efforts

Posted on Saturday, April 27 @ 00:00:05 PDT (0 reads)

By william gallo u.S. Secretary of state antony blinken expressed “serious concern” about china’s support for russia’s defense industry on friday, warning chinese leaders that washington could impose sanctions over the matter. blinken’s comments came in beijing, shortly after he met with chinese president xi jinping and other senior chinese leaders during meetings that covered a wide range of disputes between the two powers. near the top of blinken’s agenda, u.S. Officials said, was china’s provision of items such as microchips, machine tools, and other items russia is using to create weapons for use in its war against ukraine. “i told xi, if china does not address this problem, we will,” said blinken. for weeks, u.S. Officials have hinted at further sanctions meant to deter china’s provision of so-called dual-use items to russia, which washington says has been crucial to moscow’s war on ukraine. It is not clear how far washington will go, however, since cutting off major chinese banks from the u.S. Financial system also could hurt the u.S. And global economy. at a press conference in beijing, blinken did not reveal details about any possible measures, stating only that the united states has already imposed sanctions on more than 100 chinese entities. “We’re fully prepared to act, take additional measures, and i made that very clear in my meetings today,” he noted. china has defended its approach to russia, saying it is only engaged in normal economic exchanges with a major trading partner. In his public remarks friday, xi did not mention the russia-ukraine issue. Instead, he focused on the necessity for u.S.-China ties to improve. “china and the united states should be partners rather than rivals; help each other succeed rather than hurt each other; seek common ground and reserve differences, rather than engage in vicious competition,” xi said. blinken’s meeting with xi had not been previously announced but was widely expected. u.S.-China relations stabilized last year, after xi met u.S. President joe biden in california. At that summit, the two sides agreed to reopen military-to-military communication and take steps to reduce the flow of fentanyl, a dangerous narcotic responsible for tens of thousands of drug overdoses in the united states each year. blinken cited “important progress” on the fentanyl issue, even while insisting china needs to do more, including prosecute those who sell chemicals and equipment used to make fentanyl. Blinken also announced that both sides agreed to hold their first talks related to concerns over artificial intelligence. even as communications lines remain open, the united states and china continue to spar over a broad range of issues, including trade policies and territorial disputes. the biden administration is concerned about cheap chinese exports, including heavily subsidized green technology products they say are undercutting u.S. Companies. during a five-and-a-half hour meeting with chinese foreign minister wang yi on friday, blinken raised concerns, including the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the taiwan strait, chinese activities in the disputed south china sea, and the need to avoid further escalation in the middle east and on the korean peninsula, according to a u.S. Readout. china accuses the united states of inappropriately trying to contain its economic and military power. Following his meeting with blinken, wang said china-u.S. Ties are “beginning to stabilize” but asserted that negative factors are “increasing and building,” warning that the relationship faces “all kinds of disruptions.” “should china and the united states keep to the right direction of moving forward with stability or return to a downward spiral?” Wang asked. “This is a major question before our two countries.” big challenges analysts say any u.S. Decision to impose sanctions over china’s provision of dual-use equipment to russia would face significant challenges. if the biden administration were to cut off major chinese banks’ access to the u.S. Dollar, the move could disrupt u.S.-China trade, said ian chong, an international relations expert at the national university of singapore. instead, the u.S. May decide to put limits on specific transactions or target smaller banks that have a more direct interest in russia, chong said. another challenge: dual-use items are notoriously difficult to track, since they often appear to be exported for non-military reasons with legitimate business partners. “those business partners can then sell those items to third parties, who can then continue selling those items down the chain until we get to the russian military industrial complex,” chong said. some patterns are easier to identify than others. last year, china’s export to kyrgyzstan of ball bearings, which among other things can be used in the production of tanks, increased by more than 2,000%, according to natasha kuhrt, who specializes in china-russia ties at king’s college london. “there’s no problem in moving anything from kyrgyzstan to russia,” she added, noting that such transactions appear to be a form of sanctions evasion. but as the united states ramps up pressure on china, few expect beijing to make major concessions. “it may actually make china closer to russia,” said artyom lukin, a professor at russia’s far eastern federal university. while china may be concerned about the economic impact of u.S. Sanctions, there are also important psychological factors at play, he said. “to me, it’s very much a question of pride, of china’s national pride. It’s not only about economic calculations,” lukin added. “And if china submits to u.S. Demands now, it will be a major precedent.” however, many analysts note that china has made small concessions related to russia, apparently because of u.S. And western pressure. “already certain chinese banks have stopped cooperating with russian banks for fear of secondary sanctions,” kuhrt said. “So, the u.S. Can have an effect in that sense.” but, she added, the broader china-russia relationship will likely continue to thrive, given the common interests and worldviews of xi and russian president vladimir putin. “i think we have to really just put away any thought of being able to drive a wedge between the two,” she said.
