i am anti communist. I am anti European man marx, Englels and lenin. They were real western devils. They were so cunning they managed to convince Chinese people to hurt other Chinese and themselves unwittingly.
If you want to be pro china be pro chinese culture. Love our family, love our heritage, love our history. This Communism was a european homeless man's, Marx invention designed to seperate us from the chinese culture and ethics..
What is Chinese culture we love so much? Chinese culture tells us to honor parents and ancestors. To love our family. To love our parents. To go to ancestor grave in the mountain to bai shan. Marxist came in and brainwashed an entire generation to burn our ancestral tree and told us that the party is dearer than parents.
Chinese culture tells us to respect our history. Marxist came in and burned everythign and smashed everything. Lots of chinese people support CPC because they have loyalty to China and CPC merged its identity with China. But CPC has to fundamentally change its ideology and leave this marxist root behind and really promote the chinese culture.
Also Lots of these creepy white people support Chinese communist because it is a form of red imperialism,. They are asocial and unhappy living in Australia or wherever the fuck they crawl from. So they can claim they are communist to share credit for China's success. "it is not chinese people that made china rich today, it is marx." I mean, you don't feel uncomfortable when there is a white man marx in the congress that the chinese president bow to? or the white man marx in a tv show "marx met confucius" hugging our chinese confucius like they are the same level? It is abomination.

>>2414732https://chatgpt.com/share/688f39c5-1708-8005-a280-9fcbff4e0296<From a nonbiased view what is your take on the information presentedChatGPT said:
From a nonbiased, analytical standpoint, the information in the Reddit post presents a credible and concerning picture of China’s local government debt stress, but it should be interpreted in context and with nuance:
✅ What the Data Suggests
Some Chinese provinces are spending most or all of their revenue on debt service.
If accurate, this is a red flag in any fiscal system.
It suggests these provinces are fiscally unsustainable without external help (e.g. central government bailouts or refinancing schemes).
The debt-to-GDP growth ratio cited (e.g. 5.2 units of debt for 1 unit of GDP) implies diminishing returns on government-led investment.
This doesn’t automatically mean collapse, but it shows inefficiency in capital allocation, especially if the growth being generated is not productive or sustainable.
🤔 Neutral Assessment
Not necessarily a crisis—yet.
China has strong central control, a state-owned banking system, and no hard budget constraint like in democracies where voters punish bailouts. The central government can keep rolling debt over or shifting burdens.
But it’s a long-term vulnerability.
Local governments rely heavily on land sales for revenue, which have plummeted post-real-estate slowdown. Unless new revenue streams are found or spending is reined in, the situation becomes harder to manage over time.
GDP growth may be overstated.
If much of it is being propped up by debt-funded construction or spending without long-term return, GDP may not reflect true wealth creation. Economists call this “bridges to nowhere.”
It reflects a deeper structural problem:
Local governments in China are expected to drive growth but have limited taxing power. This creates a mismatch between responsibility and resources, pushing them toward borrowing or quasi-legal financing vehicles (like LGFVs—local government financing vehicles).
🧮 Contextual Caveats
These figures are estimates from researchers—not official government disclosures.
China’s central government can and often does intervene to prevent defaults, which makes comparisons to Western debt crises imperfect.
There's still considerable domestic savings and financial control, which means Beijing has tools that other countries might not.
🎯 Conclusion
From a non-partisan viewpoint:
The situation is real and concerning for the long term.
It’s not necessarily a sign of imminent collapse, but it highlights a deep inefficiency in China’s growth model—especially at the provincial level.
The reliance on debt to maintain growth makes China’s economy less resilient to shocks and more dependent on continued intervention.
Whether one views this as a temporary imbalance or the symptom of a failing model depends on how willing and able the Chinese government is to restructure its fiscal system and reduce unproductive spending.

>>2414732>Sooo… nobody knows anything else about this? BBC finds electrocuted, drowned and starved cats in online torture groups
An international network that shares online videos of cats and kittens being tortured has members in the UK, the BBC has found.
The network is thought to have thousands of members who post, share and sell graphic images and videos of cats being hurt and killed.
In one group, on an encrypted messaging app, the BBC found evidence of British members suggesting users adopt kittens from the RSPCA to mutilate.
The BBC investigation comes after two teenagers admitted torturing and killing two kittens in a park in Ruislip, north-west London, in May. They are due to be sentenced on Monday.
The 16-year-old girl, and boy, aged 17, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty after the kittens were found cut open and strung up. Knives, blowtorches and scissors were also found at the scene.
These groups started in China, but BBC News has identified members now active across the world, including in the UK.
The scale of the network has been documented by animal rights activists Feline Guardians.
The group says between May 2023 and May 2024, a new video showing the torture and execution of a kitten or cat was uploaded approximately every 14 hours.
It says it has documented 24 groups active this year, the largest of which had more than 1,000 members. The most active torturer is believed to have filmed the torture and killing of more than 200 cats.
Chat conversations in one group, seen by the BBC, include what appear to be UK-based accounts discussing how to get hold of cats to abuse.
One member discussed how to adopt kittens from the RSPCA and posted application forms. Another post shared an advert for kittens for sale in the UK, posting that they wanted to "torture them so bad".
Videos and photographs seen by the BBC are graphic and extremely disturbing.
They include footage of cats being drowned and electrocuted. One video speculates on how long a kitten in a cage will survive if it is not given food.
Group members appear to want to inflict as much pain as possible. In online chats, torturers explain how they use electrocution to resuscitate a cat in order to prolong suffering.
New members are encouraged to mutilate and post videos to gain access to a wider network.
The BBC saw evidence that suggested children were taking part in these groups. One member posted: "I'm 10 years old and I like to torture cats."
In September 2023, the network even promoted a "100 cat kill" competition, during which members were encouraged to see how quickly the group could torture and kill 100 cats.
Videos depicting the horrific torture of cats first went viral in China in 2023.
The man responsible for two extremely graphic videos, Wang Chaoyi, was detained for 15 days by the Chinese authorities and forced to issue a "letter of repentance".
But his footage developed a cult following and others began making similar content for Chinese and Western social media, gaining thousands of views, before groups developed on encrypted messaging apps.
"Little Winnie" is a well known name used in the cat torture community for having a profile picture that mocks the Chinese leader Xi Jinping with an image of Winnie the Pooh.
Accounts with that name and profile picture are described as administrators in a number of forums.
An activist from Feline Guardians got in touch with one of those Little Winnie accounts and lured the man behind it into an online relationship.
Eventually she persuaded the man behind the account to do a video call. From that call, the group identified a 27-year-old man living in the Japanese capital Tokyo.
Feline Guardians has held demonstrations outside the Chinese Embassy, in London, demanding that authorities in Beijing do more.
"In mainland China, there are no laws that are stopping this. So that means that abusers and torturers can effectively do what they want and live out these very sadistic fantasies without any consequence. These videos are then uploaded, and essentially that's a global problem, because that means that everyone has access to these videos. Children are seeing this," Lara said.
Johanna Baxter MP, chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cats, said these groups were "a deeply worrying trend, particularly among young men".
"Animal abuse often acts as a gateway, making future acts of violence easier to rationalise and commit," she added.

https://archive.ph/pZ6ay>China Is Choking Supply of Critical Minerals to Western Defense Companies>Beijing’s tightened controls are a sign of the leverage it has over the U.S. military supply chain>China is limiting the flow of critical minerals to Western defense manufacturers, delaying production and forcing companies to scour the world for stockpiles of the minerals needed to make everything from bullets to jet fighters.>Earlier this year, as U.S.-China trade tensions soared, Beijing tightened the controls it places on the export of rare earths. While Beijing allowed them to start flowing after the Trump administration agreed in June to a series of trade concessions, China has maintained a lock on critical minerals for defense purposes. China supplies around 90% of the world’s rare earths and dominates the production of many other critical minerals.>As a result, one drone-parts manufacturer that supplies the U.S. military was forced to delay orders by up to two months while it searched for a non-Chinese source of magnets, which are assembled from rare earths.>Certain materials needed by the defense industry now go for five or more times what was typical before China’s recent mineral restrictions, according to industry traders. One company said it was recently offered samarium—an element needed to make magnets that can withstand the extreme temperatures of a jet-fighter engine—for 60 times the standard price. That is already driving the cost of defense systems higher, say suppliers and defense executives.>The squeeze on critical minerals highlights how dependent the U.S. military is on China for much of its supply chain—giving Beijing leverage at a time of rising tensions between the two powers and heated trade negotiations. Defense manufacturers supplying the U.S. military rely on minerals that are mainly produced in China for microelectronics, drone motors, night-vision goggles, missile-targeting systems and defense satellites.>While companies have tried to find alternative sources of these minerals in recent years, some of the elements are so niche that they can’t be economically produced in the West, say industry executives.>China’s Foreign Ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment.>In addition to the more recent export controls on rare earths, China has since December banned sales to the U.S. of germanium, gallium and antimony—which are used for things like hardening lead bullets and projectiles, and to allow soldiers to see at night.>Some companies now warn of looming production cuts if more minerals aren’t forthcoming.>On Wednesday, the chief executive of Leonardo DRS said the U.S.-based defense firm is down to its “safety stock” of germanium.>“In order to sustain timely product deliveries, material flow must improve in the second half” of 2025, CEO Bill Lynn said on a conference call. The company is the U.S. subsidiary of Italian defense giant Leonardo.>Germanium goes into the company’s infrared sensors, which are used in missiles and other equipment. Lynn said that the company is looking at diversifying its supply chain while also finding ways to replace it in its products.>The Pentagon is requiring defense contractors to stop buying rare-earth magnets that contain China-sourced minerals by 2027. As a result, some companies have sizable stockpiles of magnets. But suppliers and defense companies often hold less than a year’s worth—some just a few months—of many other critical mineral stockpiles.>Drone manufacturers are among the most vulnerable, because many are small startups and have very limited revenue or supply-chain savvy, and never got around to acquiring large stockpiles of rare-earth magnets and metals, say some in the defense industry.>“I can tell you…we talk about this daily and our companies talk about it daily,” said Dak Hardwick, vice president of international affairs at the Aerospace Industries Association, a U.S. defense and commercial aerospace trade group.>More than 80,000 parts that are used in Defense Department weapons systems are made with critical minerals now subject to Chinese export controls, according to data from defense software firm Govini. Nearly all of the supply chains for key critical minerals used by the Pentagon rely on at least one Chinese supplier, Govini said, meaning restrictions from Beijing can cause widespread disruptions.>Since stepping up export controls earlier this year, China has begun requiring companies to provide extensive documentation of how they will use the rare earths and magnets they import. Chinese regulators often demand sensitive information, such as product images and even photos of production lines, to ensure none of the materials go to military use, say Western buyers.>One Western company that supplies Chinese-made rare-earth magnets to both civilian and defense companies says its requests for imported magnets have recently been approved for many civilian purposes—but rejected or delayed for defense and aerospace.>In May, New Hampshire-based ePropelled, which makes propulsion motors for drones, received unsettling questions from its Chinese magnet supplier. The supplier sent Chinese government forms demanding drawings and pictures of ePropelled’s products and a list of buyers. It also asked for assurances that the rare-earth magnets China would supply ePropelled wouldn’t go toward military applications.>“Of course we are not going to provide the Chinese government with that information,” said Chris Thompson, vice president of global sales for ePropelled. The company has about 100 customers, including large American defense contractors and drone manufacturers in Ukraine.>So its Chinese suppliers paused shipping, and ePropelled had to delay some customer orders by one or two months—double the amount of time it usually takes to deliver its motors. The company sought alternative suppliers in the U.S., Europe and Asia, including buying magnets from vendors in Japan and Taiwan, although they too rely on rare earths from China.>The company also struck deals with startup magnet producers Vulcan Elements in North Carolina and Oklahoma-based USA Rare Earth. However, those startups won’t have supply ready for ePropelled until at least the end of this year and will need to build up alternative sources of Chinese-dominated minerals as they scale up production.>Metal traders say that because China demands to know the end user of rare-earth magnets and metals, it isn’t approving licenses for traders to stockpile.>The Department of Defense has awarded grants to expand production of niche materials, including $14 million in funding last year to a Canadian company to produce germanium substrates used in solar cells for defense satellites. In July, the Pentagon took an even bigger step when it agreed to pay $400 million for 15% of MP Materials, the operator of the largest rare-earths mine in the Americas, which is rapidly scaling up its magnet manufacturing capacity.>The Pentagon didn’t respond to a request for comment.>On an earnings call last month Lockheed Martin CEO James Taiclet called the MP Materials agreement groundbreaking and said it would help ensure the supply of magnets needed in its F-35 jet fighters and cruise missiles. But building up new supply will take time.>The Defense Department early last year established the Critical Minerals Forum, an effort in part to spur more mineral supply-chain projects in the U.S. and allied countries, including helping metals miners secure funding to increase their output of critical materials like antimony and germanium.>Defense companies that traditionally outsourced the purchase of critical minerals to sub-suppliers are now using their market heft to try to acquire sources of key materials themselves. Major defense companies “are starting to get more and more panicked as they go, because they recognize that they’re just not going to get the magnets, no matter what happens, unless they get involved,” said Nicholas Myers, the CEO of Phoenix Tailings, a Massachusetts startup that produces rare-earth metals.>Beijing is signaling that it takes its mineral export bans very seriously. Earlier this year, one U.S. defense supplier, the United States Antimony Corporation, tried to ship 55 metric tons of antimony mined in Australia to its smelter in Mexico. The load transited via the Chinese port city of Ningbo—until recently a routine practice.>But in April, while the shipment was being transloaded in Ningbo, China customs detained it for three months, prompting United States Antimony to ask the State Department and White House for help.>The Chinese released the shipment in July, on the condition that it be sent back to Australia and not to the U.S. When it arrived in Australia, United States Antimony learned that product seals had been broken. It is currently working out whether the antimony has been tampered with or contaminated.>“The shipping company, everyone who was involved, they’d never seen this happen before,” said company CEO Gary Evans.>Neither the White House, the Defense Department nor the State Department provided comment. https://www.youtube.com/@Captaincool07/postsCaptaincool07 (黃永熙)

Chinese Communist do not promote Han Chinese nationalism at all. The entire Chinese Communist are an anti-HAN Chinese institution. Their entire domestic policy is ANTI-Han Chinese nationalism.
The Communists starting from the 1950s onward promoted affirmative action to non-Han Chinese people. They gave them extra privileges including more points to enter college.
The Communist also gave minorities the right to have as many births as possible, while Han Chinese births were restricted during the era of the 1 Child policy.
In mainland China, there is an unofficial two tier legal system. When ethnic minorities like Uighurs or Tibetans commit crimes, the court usually are easier to them and tries to accommodate them. This is called the "兩少一寬" TWO LESS ONE Leniency. This policy was enacted by Document No. 5 of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (1984).
Communist were the real definition of the word HANJIAN 漢奸. Han traitors. 漢 Han 奸 traitor
The real Han Nationalist and and hero of the Han Chinese was Dr. Sun Yat Sen and the early Kuomintang. Sun Yat Sen overthrew the Manchus. Then in 1924 finally proclaimed a policy of making all ethnic groups in China Han Chinese and sinicizing everyone.
In Three Principles of the people, Sun wrote, "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, China has always been a nation created by one nation. Speaking for the majority, the 400 million Chinese can be said to be all Han people. They share the same blood, the same language and writing, the same religion, the same customs, and are completely one nation."
The Kuomintang were the real Han Chinese Nationalists. Communists were and have always been National traitors and internationalists

>>2417618China possesses vast quantities of rare earths, which are essential for smartphones, electric vehicles, and military technology.
Beijing controls approximately 60% of global rare earth production and nearly 90% of their processing.
China did recently agree to accelerate the approval of rare earth export licenses. However, it is unclear whether this applies to American defense companies that need these minerals for fighter jets and missile systems. According to the American Chamber of Commerce in China, 75% of US companies expect their rare earth stockpiles to be depleted within three months.
The restrictions, which were partly a response to the tariffs on Chinese exports imposed by President Donald Trump, highlighted the vulnerabilities of the US, which lacks its own refining and processing capacity for rare earths.
The European Union also relies on China for 98% of its supply of rare earth magnets used in auto parts, fighter jets, and medical diagnostic equipment.
The European Association of Automotive Suppliers warned that the sector "is already facing significant disruptions" due to Chinese export restrictions. These have led to the shutdown of several production lines and factories across Europe, with further impacts expected in the coming weeks as inventories run out.
Alberto Prina Cerai, a researcher at the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI), told DW that Brussels urgently needs to buy time. "In terms of scale, the West cannot catch up with China," he warned. While a complete decoupling from China is "unthinkable" in the short term, the EU must "manage this interdependence with a coherent industrial strategy."
"The entire global economy depends on rare earths from China," Jost Wübbeke, CEO of the Berlin-based research institute Sinolytics, which specializes in China, told DW. "If their exports stop, the impact will be felt worldwide."
Targeting the Military Industry
Defense equipment manufacturers supplying the US military rely on minerals primarily produced in China for microelectronics, drone engines, night vision goggles, missile guidance systems, and military satellites.
China is mainly restricting the flow of critical minerals to Western defense equipment manufacturers, delaying production and forcing companies to search worldwide for supplies of these minerals, which are essential for manufacturing everything from bullets to fighter jets.
According to the Wall Street Journal, an industry manufacturing components for unmanned aircraft supplying the US military was forced to delay orders by up to two months while seeking a non-Chinese source of magnets, which are assembled from rare earths.
Some materials needed by the defense industry are now selling for five times or more their standard price before the Chinese restrictions.
The price of Samarium, a key element for building magnets capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures of a fighter jet engine, has skyrocketed to 60 times its normal level. This is already making defense systems more expensive.
Although companies have tried to find alternative sources in recent years, some elements are so specialized that their production in the West is not economically viable.
In addition to the latest controls on rare earths, China has banned sales since December of germanium, gallium, and antimony – materials used in the defense industry. Germanium, for example, is used in infrared sensors embedded in missiles.
China "Inside" the Pentagon
More than 80,000 components used in the weapon systems of the US Department of Defense rely on critical minerals currently subject to Chinese export controls. Nearly all supply chains for key minerals used by the Pentagon rely on at least one Chinese supplier, meaning restrictions from Beijing could lead to widespread disruptions.
China has begun requiring detailed documentation from companies regarding how they use the rare earths and magnets they import. Chinese regulators often demand sensitive information, such as product images and even photos of production lines, to ensure the materials are not used for military purposes, according to Western buyers.
A Western company supplying rare earth magnets manufactured in China to both civilian and defense customers reports that its import applications have recently been approved for many civilian uses, but are rejected or delayed when it comes to defense and aerospace.
The Israeli army bans Chinese vehicles from entering its bases for fear of espionage.
Israeli Army Radio revealed on Tuesday that the army has decided to ban Chinese vehicles from entering its bases, fearing information leaks or spying using sensors and cameras installed on the vehicles.
According to the Israeli website Calcalist, the decision reflects growing military concerns about Chinese-linked technology and vehicles.
The website noted that Israeli military personnel who own electric vehicles and serve at the Tzrifin base in central Israel have been instructed to park their vehicles in a designated area away from various facilities on the base.
Later, military personnel at the base received a directive that read: "Due to a lack of parking spaces and considerations regarding vehicles manufactured in China, Chinese-made vehicles will be permitted to enter the base, but only to an area designated for such vehicles."
Last April, Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the Israeli Ministry of Defense had halted the supply of Chinese-made vehicles designed for Israeli army officers with the rank of lieutenant colonel, following prolonged pressure from cybersecurity and information security experts.
The newspaper noted that many Chinese brands, such as MG and BYD, are entirely manufactured in China. According to cybersecurity experts, these cars constantly transmit data about their usage, in part to improve the algorithms that help them operate.
In July, security concerns prompted the Israeli military to ban Chinese cars, and later all electric vehicles, from entering a sensitive military base.

China to offer nationwide childcare subsidiesBEIJING, July 28 – China on Monday introduced a nationwide childcare subsidy program starting in 2025, as part of broader efforts to support families and encourage childbirth.
The program will offer families 3,600 yuan (about 503 U.S. dollars) per year for each child under the age of three.
As one of the world's most populous countries, China is facing a dual demographic challenge: a shrinking number of newborns and a rapidly aging population.
The country's birth rate and total number of newborns declined for seven consecutive years before experiencing a modest rebound in 2024. Meanwhile, China's population aged 60 and above had reached 310 million by the end of last year.
In response to this dual challenge, China has steadily loosened its family planning policies over the past decade. It phased out its one-child policy by allowing married couples to have two children in 2016, and announced support for couples wishing to have a third child in 2021.
The national childcare subsidy was first introduced in this year's annual government work report in March.
Multiple local governments have piloted similar programs over the last few years – some of which have offered notably generous incentives – as part of their own efforts to address these challenges.
Yang Yiyong, a researcher at the Academy of Macroeconomic Research, noted that recent pro-birth policies are beginning to show early results, and that a more supportive work environment and better job opportunities for women have also helped improve fertility plans.
In a separate move, China's central government last Friday issued a directive urging local governments to draw detailed plans to introduce free preschool education.
The government is also ramping up nursery care services for children under three, aiming to relieve the pressures on working parents and improve early childhood development.

Chinese scientists develop world's first ultra-high parallel optical computing chipChinese scientists have developed the world's first ultra-high parallel optical computing integrated chip that's capable of delivering a theoretical peak computing power of 2560 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) at a 50 GHz optical clock speed, a metric that reportedly benchmarks against NVIDIA's advanced GPU chips. Featuring large bandwidth (over 40 nm), low loss and reconfigurable properties, thus enhancing the chip's computing power.
With a theoretical potential of an almost unimaginable 2,560 trillion operations per second (TOPS), literally breaking the scale and creating a new unit, the QOPS (2.5 quadrillion operations per second).
For comparison, a cutting-edge technology introduced about two months ago, involving artificial intelligence chips integrated into optical fibers, reaches 1.6 TOPS. Furthermore, the energy efficiency of the newly introduced platform exceeds 3.2 TOPS/W, compared to 0.87 TOPS per watt for the previous one.
Optical computing, as a representative of non-von Neumann architectures, offers natural advantages such as scalability, low power consumption, ultra-high speed, wide bandwidth, and high parallelism. It has emerged as a key technology in the post-Moore era for solving large-scale, high-dimensional data problems, including tensor operations and complex image processing.
A key innovation lies in the use of soliton microcomb sources, which provide over 100 wavelength channels.
"We've achieved information interaction and computation with over 100-wavelength multiplexing on an optical chip, demonstrating high-density on-chip information parallel processing," said Xie Peng, a researcher at SIOM.
Unlike traditional optical computing that uses a single wavelength, this ultra-parallel approach leverages over 100 separate light wavelengths to process data streams simultaneously – boosting computing power by up to 100 times without increasing chip size or frequency, according to the study.
"It's like transforming a single-lane highway into a super highway capable of handling a hundred vehicles in parallel, greatly increasing throughput per unit time without changing the chip hardware," said Han Xilin, an engineer at SIOM.
In particular, it promises efficient solutions for embodied intelligence, neural networks, physical simulations and image processing. Furthermore, the low-latency characteristics of photonic computing make it ideal for edge devices with small data volumes but high latency requirements, such as communication exchange networks and drone swarms.

>>2419783On July 22nd, a 14-year-old girl in Jiangyou, Sichuan Province, China, was bullied by three students. Her coat was taken off, her mobile phone was snatched away and she was slightly injured. The bulliers took a video and posted it online. The victim of bullying reported the case to the police, and the police's handling result was released on August 4th. However, because the perpetrators were minors and under the age of 16, they were not sentenced to prison. They were only administratively detained for about ten days and fined. Local residents were dissatisfied with this handling, protested outside the government and clashed with the police.
Documentary on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qjZ89NSwYs&t=93sThere aren't many reports in English yet. They are mainly from BBC and CNN, so they can't be fully trusted. However, public protests and conflicts did occur. On the night of the incident, there were related videos on Douyin in China, but they were all deleted later.
>>2423575Hugh?
Why are you complaining about the righteous protests of the people?
>>2423874>normalwho said anything about normal
still, they're fucking kids, and I dont in what shithole you're from to throw kids in jail over a first incident like this
10 days of detention in a cell to make them realize what they're doing seem perfectly reasonable handling to me
>>2424010Only workaround I know is telling it to say it in leetspeak
>>2424017cause it uses datasets from public places like wikipedia and shit, it is likely to bring up stuff against china at random
>>2424007>Frankly speaking, China is one Communist Party away from being the new Nazi Germany…I fucking
love how the Enlightened West can support genocide in Gaza and Artsakh, set up concentration camps for "illegals" and homeless people, vilify Muslims and LGBT+ people as rapists and pedophiles, describe disabled people as "parasites", claim that immigrants are drug dealers that eat housepets, and yet, it's China that's Nazi Germany.
>>2423874>>2424068As somebody that was a victim of bullying, I'm tired of how people seem to think that things like this are all harmless fun. It doesn't mean the perpetrators should be charged as adults and sent away to prison for years but they really need to be held accountable. A mere 10 days in jail is a miscarriage of justice.
>>2424129In this case having only 10 days is just a slap on the wrist. 10 days is so meager that they wont learn anything.
It should be at least 30
>>2425323>I am willing to bet that Chinese hospital story wasn't true to begin with. LMAO
<it didn't happen because I would look bad if it happened so I'll just pretend it never happenedfucking westoids
>>2425259>Democratic systems are and should be viewed as the motherducking champions of output because paradoxically, they don't care about output but process. So why are we not "winning bigly"?>Democracy must not deliver the goods, it already does.Well, there's a few moments of my life I'll never get back. Just dances around the actual question. I wonder how much longer this whole "China is fake" thing can last?
>I know you'll never be able to own a home, have any functioning infrastructure or high-speed rail BUT YOU CAN V00T!!!11Come the fuck on now.
I am Chinese, and I don’t know what to say what, but might I try.
Currently, China is led by the establishment faction. While foreigners may think that the CCP is chaotic , the truth is that the ruling party is quite stable… and not as bad as people think. It might have some flaws, but overall, things are okay, like a slow but steady progress. It's a very pragmatic government.
Regarding foreign politics, I’ll share something that might interest everyone. If the Taiwan war fails, the CCP would likely still exist, but the establishment faction would certainly be finished. The next likely phase would be a new left-wing faction, and less likely, an extreme right-wing militarism. Of course, the failure of the Taiwan war itself is a low-probability event.
Next, I’ll mention a fact I’ve researched myself. Nationalism is actually not popular in China—it has never been popular, not from thousands of years ago to now. What has always been popular is the idea of revengeism. The early Mongols, the Manchus, and even earlier, the Xiongnu and the Xianbei, all experienced different degrees of revenge throughout history. This is because, thousands of years ago, Confucius said, “No matter how long it has been, hatred can still be avenged” (roughly speaking).
In fact, what is now called Chinese nationalism is actually just revengeism sentiment, but most people don’t realize it. This is something I have observed: Chinese nationalism has merely been shaped by the influence of revengeism. I think this is dangerous for the establishment faction and should be watched closely. But it can also be used to cover up many other issues… That’s about it."
>>2424134The point is, if you let the CPC fall, the two planks of superstructure are MZT and nationalism. Chinese by themselves, as anyone who's dealt with Diaspora will tell you, are quite conservative, nationalistic, and gusano.
China without the Communist Party of China is Nazi Germany with better tech and an industrial base.
>>2427594It's a dual lose scenario, either the West wins, or China goes Nazi and wins.
The two liveable scenarios for Westerners are that somehow the West wins and reforms its way to livability, which contradicts all known evidence following the fall of the Soviet Union, or that China survives and achieves high level Communism.
The alternatives, neoliberalism / fascism running rampant and a boot on a human face forever, or China becoming fascist but winning, are nightmare scenarios that the NED / 37Xs here support and promote.
>>2413077>>2413077Your ‘glorious past’ was just 5,000 years of peasants shitting in fields until Marx showed up.You miss the ‘old China’? The one that got raw-dogged by every imperialist with a boat? Your ancestors spent centuries as colonial cum rags and now you’re mad they got washed? Pre-1949 China was a glory hole for imperialists, now it’s their boss. Your 'noble ancestors' died choking on foreign cum. The only thing ‘traditional’ about old China was how efficiently it got fucked. The Party didn't destroy culture, they cremated the corpse and built a empire from the ashes.
Nostalgic for warlord rule? Go suck a Qing emperor’s necrotic dick.
>>2413077This is nationalist gusano BS. Part of the KMT / FLG platform is naked nationalism, which promotes uncritical glorification of Chinese history, you know, when China conducted both the Dzunghar and Jie (Ran Min) genocides.
Basically, the CPC relies on Lu Xun and Ba Jin, which is based on a dialectical understanding of traditional Chinese culture, seeing both positives (state service, proto-dialectics, proto-humanism, and serve the people) and negatives (feudal oppression, Confucian patriarchy, genocide and despotism).
As I understand, both the CIA and various subversion organizations push ultranationalism, probably knowing fully that if it does break the CPC, they will get Nazi Germany with Chinese characteristics and industrial capability.
>>2427864I guess you fuckers are getting more sophisticated and copy-pasting anti ultranationalist content I'm producing by hand.
China is both Tang golden age and the An Lushan rebellion, and Huang Chao literally eating the rich.
Simply cherry picking the right period will get you all the evidence you want.
>>2426954>It's a very pragmatic government … Next, I’ll mention a fact I’ve researched myself. Nationalism is actually not popular in China—it has never been popular, not from thousands of years ago to now.I've heard this before. Ultra-nationalism tends to run against the pragmatism of the culture and a lot of people roll their eyes at that stuff in their daily lives. Or you can get a kind of instrumental patriotism like promoting Chinese products or as some big flag to unite the people and the government. (Things either work or they don't but don't make it about "belief" or "faith" since those things won't make your jaw sharper or your ribs stronger.) Overseas Chinese also tend to be pretty loose and chill.
I don't have a clear explanation for it but the answer is probably in the long history and traditional Chinese social organization where people were binded more to their family and clan without the government dictating very much and otherwise leaving them alone to do Chinese peasant things. Mainly the government handles the big important stuff.
>What has always been popular is the idea of revengeism.Especially against a strong external threat.
>>2427932I think it's a lot about cherry picking and cultural discipline in hiding the ultra-nationalists. A half-Chinese half-Japanese boy was murdered in Shenzhen recently. The fascists are a time bomb the CPC is sitting on and containing. Imagine if the overseas Chinese never had to mix their nationalism with the reality of Marxism.
I'm just opposing your narrative of the Chinese never embracing radical ideology; the Xinhai revolution happened, so did liberation in 1949. You are threatening the repeat of the "who lost China" debate, except this time, it's to open, pure fascists instead of Kant-idealist Communists.
>>2427932A different warning is vs cultural essentialism, the new PC version of racism. No, the Chinese don't do this, don't do that, but either a haute liberal analysis (nuanced, mutli-factor) or a haute Marxist analysis (superstructure is determined by base, but influences base in turn) acknowledges that culture is a factor, but material reality or agency dominates. Remember the Maoist anti-family campaigns, and while this may ultimately have failed, the anti-traditional element persists.
There are in fact many Chinas and Chineses, dependent on who you are and what slice of reality you select. Don't be reductionist.
>>2428187I'm betting on no war, Washington's ability to engage in foreign interference is severely degraded, and nobody wants war other than Washington
2027 will be a nothing burger
>>2428187i've always said boats are a paper tiger.
feels nice to be correct again.
>>2428461In the Special Taiwan Operation, Taiwanese ships and aircraft are redirected to mainland ports or don't fly. If the Taiwanese try to break the blockade, they get bombed. If they fire back and deal appreciable damage, semiconductor fabs get bombed. Has absolutely nothing to do with amphibious landings; that only happens if Taiwan goes nuclear.
The island is indefensible, it's too close to China, which is too big. Amphibious landings are relatively easy to delay and make bleed, but the fabs are almost impossible to defend.
>>2428790On the Russia issue, NAFOids have a point that Russia is doing really badly and while they make gains, it's at great costs.
The parameters of Taiwan scenarios are different. Taiwan isn't going to get amphibious landings unless they attempt a nuclear weapons program, and China goes for broke. The size of the PLAN and CCG make it extremely easy for China to attempt, if not necessarily succeed in a direct blockade or quarantine by ships. But the sheer mass of PLAAF, PLARF, and PLAGF standoff munitions mean the island can be blockaded by long-range bombardment, and if that fails, there's still a shitton of civilian targets.
You State Department stooges, because Taiwan makes so much of the world's semiconductors, aren't merely begging for vassal suicide this time. What happens when Apple can't make iPhones because the fabs are downed? What happens when TSMC's Taiwan fabs are smoking craters?
Ever think about why Trump is pushing detente? He's trying to buy time to move the fabs off the island.

One of my subscribers is from a real KMT family , and his entire family has deep roots in the party. His family members worked inside the TW government. In the 1970s, one of them worked in the cabinet of Kai Shek. And One of them is a low level representative. This subscriber followed my channel for many years, and befriended me when I used to be more active on social media. Over time, I got to know him personally.
A few years ago, his uncle went to Mainland China to work with state-owned enterprises, and he himself went to Beijing to study law. At the time, they were both pro-CCP — just like I was. We genuinely believed in the vision China ccp presented. So I lost touch with him when he left.
Then out of nowhere he message me and told me that his uncle got involved doing business with Chinese SOEs and they began interacting directly with provincial level CCP officials. What they saw up close was corruption, hypocrisy, and a system built on exploitation. Workers are abused and money often goes missing or stolen. There is 0 accountability. The CCP elites basically operates like a red aristocracy — a privileged elite class that takes advantage of ordinary people while hiding behind revolutionary slogans. So this subscriber was the one who opened my eyes and convinced me to step away after a few hours of chatting with him on phone.
The CCP uses dialectical thinking and finds contridictions in life, not to seek truth, but to justify contradictions and betrayals to maintain power. They allow for ambiguity, and calculated opportunism — all to achieve long-term goals. Socialism with Chinese characteritics, reform and market economy, "socialist Market economy" is part of this dialectical thinking
This ideological flexibility makes them seem pragmatic on the surface, but in reality, it enables them to turn on their own supporters. From the revolutionaries of the 1950s to the entrepreneurs of the 2000s, and even their own officials during “anti-corruption” campaigns — no one is safe once they outlive their usefulness.
The CCP are masters of the bait-and-switch. They flatter and use other people to rise, then discard them without hesitation once they have no more usefulness. Their entire history is filled with examples of this cycle. Today, with total control over information inside China, they can suppress dissent, flood the internet with state propaganda, and silence anyone who dares to speak out. So if you work for them — when the wind changes and you fall out of favor — who are you going to turn to for help? You are cooked. It is like working for the italian mafia.
I went as far as i could and realized that it was a poisoned wine and stopped drinking it.
Lots of Chinese people, self proclaimed Communist and Marxists outside of China , my self included, are absolutely foolish for believing in ccp. Many defend the party out of anti-Western sentiment or loyalty thinking they are trying to help China, without truly understanding the nature of what is being practiced in China and who is really the one in charge. Dont believe in them anymore.
I was pro-ccp and built my channel arouond that for 10 years. But i saw the manipulation and hypocrisy and change my mind. I don't care if i piss all my subscribers off.
china bros……
>>2429137Pretty retarded because there's another organization that does the same goddamn thing.
It's pretty basic disinfo; most parties play dirty, it's just the nature of politics. Morality is a mechanism of social control and propaganda.
End of the day, who sells more, and whose theory is more explanatory, coherent, and predictable?

A while back, I was discussing with AI the alternate genealogy of intelligence agencies, that is to say, the OSS is an antecedent of American intelligent, but so's ML parties, that is to say, American glowies are fascist in appropriating the structure and norms of Marxist-Leninists, but for reactionary ends.
—
End of the day, we're in a position wherein one side is delivering substantially rising living standards and the promise of higher-level Communism, and the other side delivers you Gaza.
There's substantial similarities in how they make their sausage, but one gives gourmet, the other produces toxic shit.
And ultimately, you're on a leftist site. Only the succdems here think that capitalism and democracy are reconcilable, or that capitalism left on its own isn't going to end with you being fed into an AI controlled blender to cut costs.
It's the Pascal's Wager of Marxist-Leninism, the ultras are useless (revolution next year, just like China will collapse next year, but since 1901 instead of 1995), the demsocs are proto-fascist, and the fascists are fascists.
If the American power elite actually wants to blow themselves up to attempt to produce some form of real ML-style socialism, be my guest, you'll get an audience for your bullshit, but otherwise, you're perpetuating unstable systems of power that'll end up with us all dead.
>>2427970>Don’t even get me started on Mao’s quotes about the homos (he was wrong but so was virtually the entire world at the time)Which quotes
I don't mean a meme.
>>2427970That is because sexual libertinism and homosexuality is fascistic or at least lumpen and a product of late stage neo-feudal self-cannibalising capitalism which refuses to provide workers a minimal economic basis that would allow for the reproduction of society. Leftoids try to rationalize this as something good and bourgeois feminism preaches that women should be allowed to exchange sexual power for economic power (see the ridiculous golddigging coaches that have been trending on Chinese social media recently), turning themselves into the slaves of rich men so as to take away the dignity of unworthy working class men who, as men, are evil.
In Maoist China and other socialist countries the employment of women was mandated by SOEs. Childcare services were also widely available, freeing women from most of the burden of childrearing. At the same time, sexual relations were strictly based on marriage, as any society in which people are genuinely equal would lead to everyone finding a partner for themselves and the lack of economic uncertainty or competition would allow people to orient themselves towards long-term relationships without any fear.
>>2429983It's unironically safer to be LGBT+ in China than it is in the West at this point. At least you don't have fascists shoved into social media feeds by billionaires like Elon Musk or Peter Thiel to rant about how LGBT+ people are "groomers" that should be incarcerated or publically executed while liberals see LGBT+ people are nothing but bargaining chips whose rights can be compromised away.
>>2429987Anybody that's surprised that Redditors are doing this is like being suprised that /pol/ is full of racists.
>>2427962>>2427959Hearing these kind of discourse only reminds me of the attitude that the most far gone weebs have/had to japan: a sort of foreign magical place where people think in a fundamentally different "better" way; while in reality a lot of it is projection from soft-power politics.
Given that when criticized, Chine officials or foreign chinese supporters revert to "you don't understand china", as if those people have a fundamentally alien reasoning system of the like also seen in noble savage stereotypes. I think that a similar tactic is at play here.
>>2430217imagine turning up to maccies not to buy anything but with all your mates and a pack of cards.

>>2431089And so have I. It's anecdotal against anecdotal evidence. I've met people who've said that they hate Japanese, and people who refuse to work with Japanese. I've met anti-African racists.
End of the day, this is why we suspect you glow, because you're making the Rousseauian mistake again.

>>2432569They think it would kill a billion people. They also hate the dam because it's genuinely an impressive feat of engineering that stands as a monument to China's infrastructure mastery. The dam is so big it slowed down Earth's rotation. The upcoming Tibetan dam is going to be even bigger and will net electricity the size of UK.
Neoliberal western bloodlust, spilled over in reddit cuc/k/ memes about the dam, is a good reminder that China is at war with genuinely evil creatures that should be counter-erased for the good of humanity.
>>2433182Like I said, spin it into blatant Sinophobia. The problem with the liberal system is that it thinks it's the Way, the Truth, and the Light, when it's actually just a mask on capitalism and bourgeois supremacy.
When it's under stress, it mutates into fascism, and then, if it survives, politely disavows its fascist period like it does the dead Amerindians.

https://archive.ph/GmImi>AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over>“Everywhere we went, people treated energy availability as a given,” Rui Ma wrote on X after returning from a recent tour of China’s AI hubs. >For American AI researchers, that’s almost unimaginable. In the U.S., surging AI demand is colliding with a fragile power grid, the kind of extreme bottleneck that Goldman Sachs warns could severely choke the industry’s growth.>In China, Ma continued, it’s considered a “solved problem.” >Ma, a renowned expert in Chinese technology and founder of the media company Tech Buzz China, took her team on the road to get a firsthand look at the country’s AI advancements. She told Fortune that while she isn’t an energy expert, she attended enough meetings and talked to enough insiders to come away with a conclusion that should send chills down the spine of Silicon Valley: in China, building enough power for data centers is no longer up for debate.>“This is a stark contrast to the U.S., where AI growth is increasingly tied to debates over data center power consumption and grid limitations,” she wrote on X.>The stakes are difficult to overstate. Data center building is the foundation of AI advancement, and spending on new centers now displaces consumer spending in terms of impact to U.S. GDP—that’s concerning since consumer spending is generally two-thirds of the pie. McKinsey projects that between 2025 and 2030, companies worldwide will need to invest $6.7 trillion into new data center capacity to keep up with AI’s strain. >In a recent research note, Stifel Nicolaus warned of a looming correction to the S&P 500, since it forecasts this data-center capex boom to be a one-off build-out of infrastructure, while consumer spending is clearly on the wane.>However, the clear limiting factor to the U.S.’s data center infrastructure development, according to a Deloitte industry survey, is stress on the power grid. Cities’ power grids are so weak that some companies are just building their own power plants rather than relying on existing grids. The public is growing increasingly frustrated over increasing energy bills – in Ohio, the electricity bill for a typical household has increased at least $15 this summer from the data centers – while energy companies prepare for a sea-change of surging demand.>Meanwhile, David Fishman, a Chinese electricity expert who has spent years tracking their energy development, told Fortune that in China, electricity isn’t even a question. On average, China adds more electricity demand than the entire annual consumption of Germany, every single year. Whole rural provinces are blanketed in rooftop solar, with one province matching the entirety of India’s electricity supply. >“U.S. policymakers should be hoping China stays a competitor and not an aggressor,” Fishman said. “Because right now they can’t compete effectively on the energy infrastructure front.” >China has an oversupply of electricty>China’s quiet electricity dominance, Fishman explained, is the result of decades of deliberate overbuilding and investment in every layer of the power sector, from generation to transmission to next-generation nuclear. >The country’s reserve margin has never dipped below 80%–100% nationwide, meaning it has consistently maintained at least twice the capacity it needs, Fishman said. They have so much available space that instead of seeing AI data centers as a threat to grid stability, China treats them as a convenient way to “soak up oversupply,” he added. >That level of cushion is unthinkable in the United States, where regional grids typically operate with a 15% reserve margin and sometimes less, particularly during extreme weather, Fishman said. In places like California or Texas, officials often issue warnings about red-flag conditions when demand is projected to strain the system. This leaves little room to absorb the rapid load increases AI infrastructure requires, Fishman ntoed. >The gap in readiness is stark: while the U.S. is already experiencing political and economic fights over whether the grid can keep up, China is operating from a position of abundance.>Even if AI demand in China grows so quickly renewable projects can’t keep pace, Fishman said, the country can tap idle coal plants to bridge the gap while building more sustainable sources. “It’s not preferable,” he admitted, “but it’s doable.” >By contrast, the U.S. would have to scramble to bring on new generation capacity, often facing years-long permitting delays, local opposition, and fragmented market rules, he said. >Structural governance differences>Underpinning the hardware advantage is a difference in governance. In China, energy planning is coordinated by long-term, technocratic policy that defines the market’s rules before investments are made, Fishman said. This model ensures infrastructure buildout happens in anticipation of demand, not in reaction to it. >“They’re set up to hit grand slams,” Fishman noted. “The U.S., at best, can get on base.” >In the U.S., large-scale infrastructure projects depend heavily on private investment, but most investors expect a return within three to five years: far too short for power projects that can take a decade to build and pay off.>“Capital is really biased toward shorter-term returns,” he said, noting Silicon Valley has funneled billions into “the nth iteration of software-as-a-service” while energy projects fight for funding. >In China, by contrast, the state directs money toward strategic sectors in advance of demand, accepting not every project will succeed but ensuring the capacity is in place when it’s needed. Without public financing to de-risk long-term bets, he argued, the U.S. political and economic system is simply not set up to build the grid of the future. >Cultural attitudes reinforce this approach. In China, renewables are framed as a cornerstone of the economy because they make sense economically and strategically, not because they carry moral weight. Coal use isn’t cast as a sign of villainy, as it would be among some circles in the U.S. – it’s simply seen as outdated. This pragmatic framing, Fishman argued, allows policymakers to focus on efficiency and results rather than political battles. >For Fishman, the takeaway is blunt. Without a dramatic shift in how the U.S. builds and funds its energy infrastructure, China’s lead will only widen.>“The gap in capability is only going to continue to become more obvious — and grow in the coming years,” he said. >>2435794china should not follow blindly follow silicon's valley hype (as they have done with other things in the past) for AI. it is a dead end technology not worth exploiting natural resources for. even if in china's case it would be mineral resources which are less polluting than burning fossil fuels for electricity is.
if any country in the world is well positioned to implement AI in such a way that it would be genuinely useful to the general populous, it would be China. and yet, despite 2 decades of hype now, AI technology has not revolutionized anything. AI is a waste of mineral resources (for production of computing equipment and energy grid), energy and talent.
Has China’s solidarity with the Palestinians died in Gaza?
Dr Razan Shawamreh
Nineteen billion dollars —that’s how much China sold in goods to Israel during the genocidal Gaza war, making it Israel’s top trading partner in 2024, ahead the U.S., which exported nine billion. That ten billion gap speaks louder than Beijing’s public statements.
While Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues, China’s new ambassador to Israel, Xiao Junzheng, marked his arrival on 29 November 2024, with an op-ed in Israel Hayom. Titled “Taking a long view and working in joint hands for a new chapter,” it focused less on Palestinian suffering and more on optimism about deepening ties with Israel.
He describes the relationship as rooted in the idea that “the Chinese and Jewish people each possess a long history and an ancient civilization, and enjoy a time-honored friendship that continues to flourish.”
This raises a key question: how did “Jewish” shift from being a religious identity to a civilization? Such language aligns with Zionist discourse, framing Israel not just a state, but as the homeland of Jews worldwide.
By portraying Israel as an “Jewish civilization” and referring to it as the “Jewish state,” China is adopting the core ideological framing of Zionism—a shift with deep political implications.
This is not new; since normalizing relations in 1992, China has consistently portrayed Israel as an ancient “Jewish state,” sidestepping its reality as a settler-colonial project in Palestine.
What’s alarming is the timing: China uses this rhetoric amid an ongoing genocide in Gaza. While it speaks of Palestinian rights at the UN, it simultaneously affirms Israel’s legitimacy with language echoing Zionist logic.
This exposes two Chinas: one at the UN calling for a ceasefire and a two-state solution, and another praising Israel as a “Jewish state,” avoiding the word genocide, and speaking of “working in joint hands” with Israel.
How can China avoid blame for reinforcing Israel’s far-right, which uses Israel the “Jewish state,” narrative to justify Gaza’s erasure and the West Bank occupation?
From Vetoes to Drones
Despite popular belief, China and the U.S. have taken similar positions on Palestine—not just during the current war, but overall. Neither has used the term genocide. Both mildly criticize Israeli settlements but continue investing in their expansion. The support the Zionist narrativethat frames Israel as the legitimate representative of the “Jewish people” and defend its “right to exist,” while ignoring Israel’s settler-colonial origins.
While the U.S. arms Israel, China largely stays silent, even avoiding U.S. military aid to Israel from its official documents. Beijing’s criticism is limited to U.S. vetoes at the UN Security Council.
This silence reflects China’s growing complicity, especially through its private sector. Chinese-made drone parts are now embedded in Israeli military systems. A recent Israeli Defense Ministry tender for five thousand FPV suicide drones, for use in Gaza and the West Bank, names HQProp (China) as the exclusive propeller supplier and Team Blacksheep (Hong Kong), as the only approved supplier of communication modules. These are essential components for striking Palestinian targets, with no restrictions on their use.
DJI, the world’s leading drone maker, has seen its drones used by Israeli forces for surveillance and military purposes. Though DJI claims its products aren’t for combat, their presence contradicts China’s diplomatic calls for ceasefire.
This contradiction extends to language. “Shalom” has been used cynically by both Chinese and American officials. Donald Trump used it mockingly after ordering the arrest of pro-Palestinian students, while, Xiao praised the term as reflecting Israel’s peaceful nature, saying: “The first Hebrew word I encountered is ‘Shalom’, which not only serves as a greeting but also carries the Jewish people’s long desire for peace since ancient times.”
The West Moves—China Stays Still
On Israel, it is not the “West versus the rest,”—it’s the West, the U.S., and China together versus the rest.
Ironically, several Western countries complicit in Israel’s genocidal war have recently shifted. The UK summoned the Israeli ambassador and suspended the talks on the free trade deal; meanwhile, China’s ambassador reassured Israeli that “China’s new development will bring new opportunities to Israel.”
China’s BRICS partners, Brazil and South Africa, withdrew ambassadors from Israel and downgraded ties. China merely reaffirmed that “there is no direct and fundamental conflict of interests between China and Israel, nor are there any outstanding historical issues.”
French President Emmanuel Macron called Israel’s actions in Gaza “shameful and disgraceful,” noting that only historians can decide if it’s genocide. China still refuses to use the term, even as UN experts, international courts, and leaders across the Global South do.
Britain, Italy, Spain, Canada, Belgium, and the Netherlands have banned or restricted arms sales to Israel, while Chinese companies continue exporting arms-related goods as usual. This doesn’t absolve Western powers, but shows how China now mirrors the worst Western practices.
When Israeli forces fired on international diplomats in Jenin in May 2025, countries like Canadian, Uruguay, Denmark, France, Spain, and Italy summoned their ambassadors. China only said it was “closely following the incident” and urged “all relevant parties, especially Israel, not to take any escalatory moves.”
But in the West Bank Israel is the sole occupying power—there is no second party. If China insists on such language, it should clarify who these “relevant parties” are.
China claims to offer a more “just” alternative to Western foreign policies, its actions now mirror U.S., whose unconditional support for Israel has made it a global outlier.
In May 2021, after Israeli attacks on Gaza, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson criticized the U.S. for opposing the international community. Now, the U.S. no longer stands alone—China has joined it in opposing the global consensus.
China’s posture increasingly resembles the U.S. approach, raising the question: does China benefit strategically from the war, as its main rival, the U.S., further implicated? The longer the war drags on, the more the U.S.’s image as a moral authority erodes, potentially boosting China’s global standing. Why should Beijing interrupt this?
Palestinians don’t expect China to cut ties with Israel, but hope it won’t become another United States—from the East. Yet, Gaza is becoming a graveyard not just for invaders, but for great powers’ claims and morals. Palestinians feel bitter, if not betrayed, and China should take note.

>>2436151>china sells stuff Yeah, no shit. This is mostly slop. China makes everything so whenever you buy something it's going to be Chinese. And Chinese trading self interests will remain paramount for the Chinese government because it's directly tied to their security and success as a nation.
Also, treating Israel as a individual entity is wrong. It's just an American aircraft carrier in the desert and China is in a full blown trade war with the US. Writing all of that but not talking about how China hunts down rare earth redistributors and surgically crippling the American MIC (and therefore Israel) is baffling.
This is a silent storm that is not covered by the sensationalist media because it's too terrifying and because they're still desperately trying to negotiate it. This is the reason why we just saw another 90 days pause on Chinese tariffs. China slit the Achilles' heel and it's unironically the endgame. Why did Trump not even utter the word "Taiwan" since he took office? Why did he cancel Taiwanese president's visit? Why did he say to Marcos that it's fine for the Philippines to get along with China? Why did he slap record tariffs on India but still delays them on China? Because China has the Pentagon supply chain in a headlock - and that won't change.

Is strategic suicide, but what China has done for Palestinians deserves to be commended.
I mean, really, imagine anti-antisemitism being used to justify antisiniticism. Anti-antisemitism is both incoherent when aligned with Zionist/Kahanist causes, and a fundamental cultural value.
But, if Sino-American relations break down, expect China to move missiles and fighters into Iran, seeing Israel as a weak link in the American world system.
>>2437496This is the correct way
To talk to liberals also, I don't care if they are "communist", I just think they are neat.
>>2437534p good. I had already saved that yesterday.
I had been camping out in the US thread. What a shitshow, remind me not to do that again, /prc/ friendos
>>2436801China was already moving to both arm and replenish Iran across the country. They had a deal where China was about to invest record $400 billion into its economy and Russia was about to provide Su-35 jets to it. Iran chickened out and tried netting the western rapprochement once again. Iran even soundly refused both Chinese and Russian help when Israel and Trump bombed them. Only now are they looking at Chinese J-10 planes again after Russian deal fell through.
People want China to be World Police 2: Justified Edition but that's counterproductive. Iran has weak and incompetent government and they're not a trustworthy ally in the region (remember: they fucked over both ZTE and Huawei trying to appease the US) and Russia is busy with a border war. China won't die alone on a middle eastern hill, guns blazing for no reason (other than purity tests online). Instead China will continue undermining the empire where it hurts - the US MIC.
Walking through Tokyo’s Akihabara, the mecca of Japanese pop culture, one is struck by a curious sight, towering advertisement banners not featuring anime icons or J-pop stars, but Genshin Impact heroes. These vibrant characters, born not in Tokyo or Kyoto but in Shanghai’s miHoYo studio, dominate the skyline. For decades, Japan’s cultural exports defined East Asia’s global imagination; now, China's creative energies are seeping into that space.
This shift wasn’t born overnight. The 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony introduced China to the world with fireworks and orchestration, but since then, its influence has seeped inward, through games, stories, science, and screens. These cultural currents flow only because they rest on solid economic foundations.
China’s economic rise, becoming the world’s second-largest economy, lifting hundreds of millions from poverty, and building vast consumer and technological ecosystems, has underwritten its cultural surge. This wealth enabled investment in education, research, digital platforms, and entertainment industries. It's no surprise that firms like Tencent, ByteDance, and miHoYo emerged as global players, they stand on shoulders of economic scale and ambition.
That ambition is just as evident in academia. In the early 2020s, Chinese universities such as Tsinghua and Peking began surpassing their Western peers in the prestigious Nature Index rankings, overtaking long-dominant American and European institutions in high-quality research output. The trend reached a symbolic high point in 2025, when a team from Tsinghua University achieved what had eluded computer science for four decades: they outperformed the classic Dijkstra algorithm for shortest paths. By introducing a deterministic algorithm with faster-than-sorting performance, the researchers broke through a barrier once thought inviolable, earning the Best Paper Award at STOC 2025. These achievements, from rankings to breakthroughs, reinforced the sense that China was no longer just a producer of goods but a generator of cutting-edge knowledge.
At the same time, cultural products with global reach began to emerge. Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem, once a niche work of science fiction, became an international sensation, spawning adaptations and igniting debates among fans worldwide. His cosmic narrative carried Chinese speculative thought into the mainstream, much as Genshin Impact did for gaming. Both reflected how Chinese creators were no longer simply local voices, but global storytellers.
Digital technology accelerated this process. TikTok, known domestically as Douyin, emerged as one of the most powerful cultural platforms of the 21st century, reshaping music charts, comedy, and youth culture worldwide. Unlike earlier Chinese apps that remained within the Great Firewall, TikTok broke boundaries and normalized Chinese tech as part of ordinary digital life.
Sometimes, cultural influence arrives through the most unexpected channels. Chongqing, with its neon staircases, mist-shrouded rivers, and labyrinthine architecture, has become a visual muse for viral videos, adding a layer of dreamlike urbanity to China’s digital image. And when global personalities visit, like streamer IShowSpeed, their spontaneous encounters with street food, bustling crowds, and red lanterns offer millions a human, unfiltered glimpse into everyday China.
What powers all these currents, academic prestige, games, literature, tech platforms, and visual aesthetics, is the economic engine behind them. But it’s not just growth; it’s ambition, confidence, and investment.
All these threads, viral aesthetics, global games, bestselling stories, rising universities, and textbook-rewriting research, point to a single trajectory. What began as spectacle in Beijing in 2008 has evolved into pervasive influence: daily, subtle, and woven into the fabric of digital and intellectual life.
China is no longer just exporting goods; it is exporting imagination, and increasingly, cutting-edge knowledge, powered by a vast and confident economy.

> This silence reflects China’s growing complicity, especially through its private sector. Chinese-made drone parts are now embedded in Israeli military systems. A recent Israeli Defense Ministry tender for five thousand FPV suicide drones, for use in Gaza and the West Bank, names HQProp (China) as the exclusive propeller supplier and Team Blacksheep (Hong Kong), as the only approved supplier of communication modules. These are essential components for striking Palestinian targets, with no restrictions on their use.> DJI, the world’s leading drone maker, has seen its drones used by Israeli forces for surveillance and military purposes. Though DJI claims its products aren’t for combat, their presence contradicts China’s diplomatic calls for ceasefire >>2438770>>2438718Genocide is bad for business. Less people = less surplus value extraction = less money getting into the hands of proles who buy commodities. Genocide is by definition shrinking the market as Labor Power is the only thing besides nature that creates value, Capital by itself doesn't create value, it only makes labor power more efficient

socialists states are in a holding pattern while they wait for you to overthrow your own bourgeoisie. The required productive forces for defense of the revolution is always relative to the external forces that seek to overthrow it, and revolution is the one job that cannot be outsourced.

Do you want to know an even funnier stat? North Korea alone produces more artillery hardware than NATO and Russia combined. Nobody outranges the Koksan.
>the most expensive military alliance in the entire history of the world is somehow running out of ammoIs this a joke? You don't want your military contractors to be scalpers on every single shell like the US MIC is. Being expensive is a detriment. It's where the "w-we got quantity over quality!" cope thrives. And it all came crashing down when a 60 million dollar J-10 took down multiple 200 million dollar Rafales.
NTA btw.
>>2440056>w-we got quantity over quality!Vice versa typo
western tech is overpriced garbage in pitiful quantities
They'll make propaganda montage videos about $10 billion USS Nimitz but they'll never mention that a $100 million Swedish submarine sank it in an exercise. Bypassing the escort carrier strike group btw, it wasn't a 1 on 1.
>>2438981Because GDP is first and foremost an American metric that measures goods as if those were listed on American markets. This shit is stupid to use for anyone but Americans themselves.
EVERY country in the world for internal economic planning is using calculations in their own currencies and prices. If you want actual comparisons, you have to suck it up and compare planning, i.e. factual, checked and real, metrics done in local currencies. Nobody's doing this because it's ideologically heretical
>>2440879It's NOT flow of the goods, for fuck's sake. It's literally a projection of US realities onto other countries. Therefore, countries which are 1) most similar to US in economic composition and 2) have markets open to foreign capitals, have the highest GDP per capita
Are you seriously going to claim that Japan has the similar level of economic activity as Puerto Rico?

>>2438981One theory I've heard, and keep in mind I have no fucking idea if this is policy or even logically sound, is that the PRC benefits from being underestimated and allegedly underreports these kind of metrics strategically.
From a quick search, it seems other countries are accusing China of overreporting. I can't see anything suggesting this claim I heard has basis in reality, but again this was a quick search.
That said, I think we can agree that China doesn't seem to give a shit about GDP as a metric:
>BEIJING (Reuters) [from 2010] - China's GDP figures are "man-made" and therefore unreliable, the man who is expected to be the country's next head of government said in 2007, according to U.S. diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks.>Li Keqiang, head of the Communist Party in northeastern Liaoning province at the time, was unusually candid in his assessment of local economic data at a dinner with then-U.S. Ambassador to China Clark Randt, according to a confidential memo sent after the meeting and published on the WikiLeaks website.>The U.S. cable reported that Li, who is now a vice premier, focused on just three data points to evaluate Liaoning's economy: electricity consumption, rail cargo volume and bank lending.>"By looking at these three figures, Li said he can measure with relative accuracy the speed of economic growth. All other figures, especially GDP statistics, are 'for reference only,' he said smiling," the cable added.>[snip] >>2442701They're lapping everyone. Everyone else is irresponsible in comparison.
Biggest country, biggest economy, biggest industry yet nowhere near the top polluters per capita in population and factory output. On the contrary they're leading the charge in green energy. Not just within their own borders but globally, due to green tech exports.
China is quite literally saving the world - and the western world hates her for it.
>>2442796>Biggest countryuhhm ackschually, India at this point is bigger population wise.
Comparison between the two is about all you need to figure out the true rift, the massive difference between capitalism and socialism.
Outside of racism (the w*sterners approach) it is the only thing that truly explains the chasm. Development versus barely getting by.

>>2445538>it is totally unnecessary for obtaining good education resultsIs it? The real academic blackpill is that 1:1 tutoring has the best outcomes but it's just not viable to provide that to everyone.
>>2445538The CPC decided after the ultra-left failures of the GLF and GPCR that putting high pressure on the population to work hard, develop the productive forces, and outcompete the imperial core was a better path than ultra-left dogmatism which would have resulted in a CIA coup in the 80s or 90s.
As an American who has failed under much lower stakes, I can only admire their drive. This is what they are doing instead Guerilla warfare against a genocidal US occupation. It was probably the wiser choice.
People call it cucking out but I call it winning slowly.
The required productive forces for defense of the revolution is always relative to the external forces that seek to overthrow it. If AES states have to defend themselves from counter revolutionaries, then they are stuck in an arms race with counter revolutionaries. Just because they have enough productive forces to sustain themselves doesn't matter when they live in a world still dominated by capitalism.
Socialists states are in a holding pattern while they wait for you to overthrow your own bourgeoisie.
>>2445539>The real academic blackpill is that 1:1 tutoring has the best outcomes but it's just not viable to provide that to everyone.Indeed this is why old aristocratic "geniuses" like Isaac Newton seem like geniuses to us. Because they lived in a time before public education and they were not only part of the 20% of society that was even literate, but they were part of the 1% that received constant tutoring from an incredibly young age.
Then the bourgeoisie turn around and say the workers and lumpen are "hopeless" because of how poorly they do in underfunded public education systems with huge class sizes.
