This theory became popular in the late 90s and early 00s, very much a product of the time when China was at its most corrupt and cynical stage since the reform and opening up in 1978. 感叹那个国将不国的年代。

作死求死，得偿所愿。

Why is a random university in the UK doing research on human rights in China? Wouldn’t that funding be better used to research human rights abuses committed by their own country?

Yet no one bat an eyelid when Western politicians routinely go to Israel and kiss the Wall. The mainstream western media are really pathetic.

因为他要做前任没做的事情。这不是他个人的决定，是全体领导层的共识，否则第一个五年末期没有培养继任者就会引发元老去群起攻之。

People like this feel entitled to talk about economics, China, and the world at large. What a joke, no wonder the West is declining hard, almost nose diving.

所以新加坡是个反动政权，不要幻想它会和中国站在一起，毕竟都主动设立了美军基地。

爆论，当年的工党英国和法西斯德国只是五十步和百步的区别。而今日英国的右转只是逐渐回归历史均值

I lost an hour of my life reading through the Draghi Report on EU Competitiveness on Saturday. Today the Netherlands expanded the reasons for the world to avoid the EU. Wingtech bought an unprofitable Nexperia 7 years ago, invested management, research, and cash in restoring market leadership and profitability, only to have the company seized by the Dutch state using wartime powers without a war. Lawless thuggery.

Might I add, talents. China graduates STEM students in numbers that’s 10 times of the US and equal to the rest of the world combined. With hostility rising against China in the US, less and less of Chinese graduates will go to the USA. In fact, there’ll be more returning to China

台独人真可怕，他们收到的教育是什么玩意： 1、天安门杀人？侯德健是台湾人咩，他怎么说：“一点都没有” 2、百日无孩？这破玩意和杨继绳3kw是一个逻辑出来的，是某功杨建立根据地方志5.7‰出生率倒算出来的结果。他自己都没有任何证据，唯一的证据是标语和杨的启发。 3、武汉肺炎，知道你家蔡英文都改口新冠肺炎了，你什么东西？封城？你台没搞过？你全民打过期疫苗还好意思说人家，知道maga在喷mrna吗？回去查查心脏谢谢。 4、你们中国？你台就是中国的一部分，100年内饥荒可考的有蒋介石炸开花园口导致的华北饥荒，几年以后根据你绿🐸族鬃的说法，228是饥荒造成的。 5、至于于朦胧，你们已经从蔡奇、李鹏、江泽民搞到三皇五帝了，至于于朦胧本人，S状之残在你们的造谣下已经超过拉斯普京了，笑S。

I hesitate to say he’s a visionary . But he’s very clear eyed while having confidence in China and himself.

You can measure a nation's morality by whose graves it remembers. And whose it ignores. When the West speaks of Mao Zedong, it recites one number like a ritual: "Tens of millions dead under his rule." It is the mantra that absolves empire, the proof that whatever the West has done, someone else was worse. But history is not a courtroom where the victor's witnesses never lie. If we judge Mao by the same logic the West uses against him, then we must also weigh the bodies that fell under the American flag. During the Great Depression, from 1929 to 1939, millions of Americans were thrown from their homes, their farms repossessed, their savings erased, their dignity turned into a sermon on "self-reliance." Children went hungry while the government burned wheat to stabilize prices. Men wandered highways in search of work. Women buried infants in fields because there was no money for a coffin. No one calls that a "famine." No one counts those graves. Yet by modern estimates, between half a million and two million Americans died prematurely during those years, by malnutrition, disease, exposure, suicide, or despair. Scaled to China’s population in 1960, that would mean tens of millions of lives lost, a toll that would rival the famines the West condemns abroad but forgets at home. If those deaths had occurred under a socialist flag, they would be remembered as proof of tyranny. But they happened under capitalism. So they were called market corrections. Herbert Hoover preached virtue through suffering. He refused large-scale federal aid, fearing that hunger relief would weaken "national character." He signed the Smoot–Hawley Tariff, collapsing world trade. And when World War I veterans marched for their promised pay, he sent in the Army to drive them out with gas and bayonets. America's own Tiananmen, written out of its textbooks. Under his moral discipline, unemployment reached 25 percent, industrial output collapsed by half, and suicide rates rose 50 percent. But Hoover is not remembered as a murderer. He's remembered as a "man of principle." Franklin Roosevelt is praised for fixing what Hoover broke. And yes, he helped millions survive through the New Deal. But the Depression's worst years were not undone by policy. They were undone by war, by the same industrial machine that would later burn Dresden and Hiroshima. When Mao's China starved under embargo and drought, the world called it ideology. When America starved under capitalism, the world called it misfortune. When the Chinese government forced collectivization, it was tyranny. When American banks seized millions of farms and homes, it was "the invisible hand." When the Great Leap Forward failed, Mao was condemned for the lives lost. When Hoover's free-market faith failed, he was praised for staying true to it. It is not morality that separates them. It is the power to name tragedy. The same civilization that starved its own during the Depression now lectures others about the sanctity of life. The same empire that napalmed villages in Asia weeps over the statistics of Chinese famine. If deaths from policy are crimes, then the architects of American austerity stand beside Mao in the dock. If the human cost of ideology is unforgivable, then capitalism's own famines, from Bengal to the Bronx, should be written in the same red ink. But they are not. Because the judge still wears the flag. The West never counts the deaths it causes, only the ones it can use. It never calls its hunger "famine," its poverty "policy," or its arrogance "ideology." It buries its victims under words like growth, progress, and necessary adjustment. And when others rebuild from the ruins it left, it demands moral purity from the survivors. If we must count the dead, then let us count all of them. The millions who died under Mao. The millions who died under Hoover. And the hundreds of millions who died under centuries of Western empire. Because the question is not who killed more. The question is who killed to rule, and who suffered to rise. Mao's revolution was brutal. But it was the brutality of rebirth, not conquest. He didn't save China by perfection. He saved it by survival. And that is the one crime empire never forgives, when the world it tried to bury learns to live again.

"China invented NOTHING we use in the modern world." Nothing??? Lol! Paper, paper currency, the printing press, solid fuel rockets, the magnetic compass, gunpowder, guns, saddles, stirrups, etc. Far too many to list without a blue-checked X account. .

Must be a slow day engagement day again. There needs to be a logistics build up in Fujian and Guangdong for a Taiwan Invasion. In reality? There's several questions you need to ask: - What’s the pattern of fuel, ammo, and medical staging? - What’s the embarkation tempo at civilian ports? - What are the size of units being moved? - How big of an operational reserve is forming? The problem with miltwit analysis is it collapses mutliple military planning layers: strategic, operational, tactical, technical into one blob. The analysis here is its line-item accounting, not capability analysis. System and weapons platforms counts do not mean combat power. Political timing and sea state forecasts matter as much as troop strength. The Taiwan Strait’s seasonal weather limits mass cross-strait operations to narrow windows: typically April–May and September–October. We'd see similar scenes like prior to the Ukraine War. Movement of troops from farther regions. In that war, we saw troops from the Russian Far East moved to Belarus and the Ukro-Russian border. This would be similar in a PLA invasion of Taiwan. They'd need to build up an operational and logistics reserve. And good staff officers don't chances in an invasion without that. They know about reality isn't a straight line. So they need reserves to do that. Amphibious invasions are hard. And I think miltwit doesn't realize the level of planning needed.

Looks stunning and otherworldly. Not sure if it’s AI enhanced though. This stands as a monument of inspiration. It will provide access to this remote like never before. China calls this kind of development 授人以鱼不如授人以渔， provide fishing skill is better than providing fish

🇯🇵: We developed the most sophisticated vending machine that handles cash and coins, and gives you change. Drink selection button that is rated for 1 billion clicks. 🇨🇳: We added a camera to a regular fridge and slapped a QR code on it.

It is motivated by fear. An old fear that was first created to justify colonialism and imperialism. An old fear that is now being resurrected to justify a new cold war against China

They beat the US to it, plain and simple.

The small difference is that the US hasn’t managed to make it work for its 5th gen F35 and produced multiple failures working with 4th gen F18 while the Chinese EMALS actually works for its 5th gen J35.
