The plants are taken care of by equipment such as remote irrigation valves, remote sensing drones that are able to identify pests and other unmanned vehicles that feature interchangeable actuators for weeding, transport and spraying. >At the farm, Ai Haipeng, the director of the farm, can simply touch his phone to send a drone to spray pesticides. He said that, traditionally, managing 3,000 mu of cotton required a team of 20 to 25 people. Now, they only need one or two people stationed on-site permanently. This means that a single person can manage 1,500 acres, and in the future, could potentially reach up to 5,000 mu per person.>The level of automation at the farm has reached 75 percent, and the management process covers the entire cycle: from sowing and seedling monitoring to irrigation and plant protection, Ai said. >Precision management of water, fertilizer, and pesticides has led to cost savings and efficiency gains: water usage has been reduced by about 15 percent, fertilizer by about 24 percent, and pesticides by about 30 percent>"Our remote sensing drones are widely used in agriculture," Ai said while introducing smart equipment. A drone is a compact device equipped with a single battery, allowing for approximately 40 minutes of flight time, Ai said, adding that pests, diseases, and weeds can be monitored using the drone, which is supported by a backend model that operates similarly to human reasoning. >Supported by extensive data, the model is able to accurately understand pest and disease conditions and once identified, the drone sends a signal to the farm managers, who make decisions based on the information, according to Ai.>"If I'm not at the farm—for example, if I'm in Beijing—I can simply launch the drone remotely and assign it a mission. It will then autonomously conduct the field inspection.">Over the years, Ai has been actively promoting his smart farm solutions to local farms across Xinjiang. Initially, the investment cost for applying this set of unmanned equipment per mu of land was 500 yuan ($70) per year. By 2024, the price had already dropped to 120 yuan per mu. Farmers are now more willing to use and invest in this solution.>Ai's team has expanded this solution across Xinjiang, with a total of more than 700,000 mu of cotton farms over the year. "I believe this solution will have a significant impact on major field crops in Xinjiang, including cotton, wheat, and corn, contributing to the agricultural development of Xinjiang and the entire country. It will enhance agricultural production efficiency and provide substantial support to farmers," Ai said. >Since local farmers are now free from working directly at the cotton farm, they are getting involved in post-production work in sectors such as the textile industry, which has allowed them to earn more. Kurban Sulayman, who serves as the deputy director of the agricultural technology extension center in Yuli, told the Global Times that the cotton products from Yuli now have their own brand and are sold to domestic markets as well as ones overseas, such as Central Asian countries. >While some individual media outlets have frequently fabricated rumors of "forced labor" at Xinjiang's cotton plantations, Kurban slammed them as "pure nonsense." >"In Yuli, the cotton production here has already achieved over 98.7 percent mechanization. There is absolutely no need for manual harvesting, let alone any forced labor in cotton picking," Kurban told the Global Times. https://archive.ph/7waCC>Prosecutors have dropped charges against two men, including a former parliamentary researcher, who had been accused of spying for China, but the decision has prompted a furious reaction from leading members of the UK government. >Christopher Cash, 30, and Christopher Berry, 33, had previously denied the charges under the Official Secrets Act. Beijing called the allegations "malicious slander".>The two men were accused of gathering and providing information prejudicial to the safety and interests of the state between 28 December 2021 and 3 February 2023.>Speaking outside the Old Bailey following the decision to cease legal proceedings on Monday, Mr Cash said he was "relieved that justice has been served".>He described the two years since his arrest as a "nightmare" and said he hoped "lessons are learned from this sorry episode".>Prosecutor Tom Little told the the court that his team would offer no evidence against the men and that "we simply cannot continue to prosecute this case".>The court heard that the Crown Prosecution Service had determined the evidence it had gathered did not meet the threshold to go to trial. The pair were due to appear at Woolwich Crown Court from 6 October.>The Home Office said it was "disappointing that they will not face trial given the seriousness of the allegations".>"We will continue to use the full range of tools and powers to guard against malign activity," it added in a statement.>That stance was backed by Downing Street, with the prime minister's official spokesman saying the allegations has been "gravely concerning", adding: "It is extremely disappointing that these individuals will not face trial. Any attempt by a foreign power to infiltrate our Parliament or democracy is unacceptable.">Mr Berry, a teacher from Witney in Oxfordshire, and Mr Cash, of Whitechapel in London, were arrested in March 2023 as part of an investigation that involved counter-terror police. >They were accused of collecting information which was "calculated to be, might be, or were intended to be, directly or indirectly, useful to an enemy".>It had been reported that Mr Cash was involved with Parliament's China Research Group (CRG).>He was understood to have had access to several Conservative MPs, reportedly including former security minister Tom Tugendhat and then-foreign affairs committee chairwoman Alicia Kearns.>And when Ms Kearns heard that no charges were to be brought, she spoke in the Commons - where her comments are covered by absolute privilege - and said: "It remains unclear to me why Chris Cash and Christopher Berry cannot be prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act. The evidence shows a clear line between these two, the United Front Work Department and the politburo, the very top of the Chinese Communist Party.>Defending Mr Cash, Henry Blaxland KC said his client's colleagues at the CRG had "expressed disbelief" at his arrest.>"We only hope that he will be able to rebuild his life," he added.>Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said she was "quite satisfied" and entered the two men into not guilty verdicts.>When they were charged, a Chinese embassy spokesperson said "the claim that China is suspected of 'stealing British intelligence' is completely fabricated".>They urged the UK "to stop anti-China political manipulation and stop putting on such a self-staged political farce".>The government has previously said Chinese spies were targeting UK officials across the political, defence and business sectors as part of an increasingly sophisticated espionage operation.>In December, senior judges upheld a decision by MI5 to warn that an alleged Chinese agent, Christine Lee, had infiltrated Parliament and funded a Labour MP, among others.>The same month, Yang Tengbo was named as a Chinese businessman who had been banned from the UK for allegedly spying. >Both Ms Lee and Mr Yang have denied the accusations made against them. >>2484727>>2484730weird knee jerk reactions.

>In 2012, Jean-Luc Mélenchon even described China as a dictatorship: "I always took interest in China, since the time when even in my group, it was very badly seen. It doesn't mean fascination for the successive regimes that ruled China. Tyranny, dictatorship, One-Party state do not fit me either in China or in France. I was never a partisan of the Chinese regime, in any way, shape or form."
<As often, Mélenchon was inconsistent. In the same interview, he attacked Tibetans and their defenders, notably in France: "You are blinded by Tintin in Tibet and this boundless admiration for this band of theocrats, slavers who in 1959 refused to cede to the people's revolution in Tibet; the Red Army had to intervene because they didn't want to abolish serfdom."
<His position on Tibet is not recent. It even earned him the honor of renewing ties with the Chinese government in educational matters when he was Junior Minister for Vocational Training between 2000 and 2002. His supervising minister, Jack Lang, fought tooth and nail for the Tibetan people. Alemagna and Alliès [the authors of the book] write: "When in March 2002, the Education Minister of the People's Republic of China, Zhili Chen, came to France to conclude a cooperation agreement, Mélenchon went as far as telling Lang: 'I'm warning you, the first one who comes up with an anti-Chinese banner, we'll beat the crap out of him… do you understand? We'll be forty people. The guy won't have the time to say 'oof' that he'll have no knees left". "But it's something we'd never have done!", he laughed.
>>2484882He's saying politician things and ruling out accusations of Maoism it seems to me.
Not great, but who cares?

In order for the international proletariat to come together, there has to be an international proletariat in the first place. Which means there needs to be means of production spread everywhere, increasing productivity and therefore increasing the contradictions that lead to transition to socialism.

>>2484934>Which means there needs to be means of production spread everywhere, increasing productivity and therefore increasing the contradictions that lead to transition to socialism.> Read MarxMarx was not aware of modern climate science. Even if what you say is true, the socialist or communist mode of production would be short lived, as climate change will destroy the material base for any advanced mode of production, and human civilization itself.
> Read MarxOf course, always read Marx.
>>2484998>That is the world we already live in. This isn't the 19th century retard.the point isn't the absolute level of the development of productive forces, but the relative level of the development of productive forces. As long as there is (extremely) asymmetrical levels of development across the nations, it will be hard to have a global transition to the next mode of production. This is why nations governed by communists, despite being industrialized, weren't able to spread their system to the capitalist world. They were too busy defending their revolution from coutner revolution. Due to the asymmetrical development and distribution of productive forces they had to hold down a fort and fight an arms race. That means less state revenue going to things like health care, child care, and education, and more state revenue going to things like arms manufacturing.
AES countries are in a holding pattern while they wait for you to overthrow your own bourgeoisie.
idk if you are american but if you are consider the following which has been posted on here before:
> The required productive forces for defense of the revolution is always relative to the external forces that seek to overthrow it. A communist party governs over China in the transition from state capitalism to socialism to communism, but that transition will be crippled unless other countries have their own revolutions, because China is just 1 country in a global capitalist system. China will not violate your country's sovereignty to bring you socialism because it has strategically embraced non-interventionist foreign policy in defense of its own past revolution, and besides that, socialism is unlikely to be embraced by any given country if it is seen as a 5th column for some foreign power. It is up to the American proletariat to overthrow their own bourgeoisie. The same is true of DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. They will not invade America to bring America socialism. That is not their job. They might provide socialist Americans strategic aid once a real movement is off the ground, but as of yet there is no such militant mass movement that can claim legitimacy at a national scale. >>2485196Translated Chinese qualifiers and adverbs are so awesome.

>>2485359The difference between an anarchist and an ML is that the ML is willing to take their gloves to get to a stateless, classless society. That means being willing to generate states, and control markets.
Anarchists are just undirected activism and violence; there is no theory, there is just "practice" that's not praxis because it loses its dialectical relationship to theory. If you want to grow up and start plotting, become the Chess Grandmaster for the proletariat, become an ML.

https://archive.ph/pfvJK>Negative Views of China Have Softened Slightly Among Americans>Fewer now consider China an enemy or say it’s the country posing the greatest threat to the U.S.>Americans hold largely negative views of China: Most have a very or somewhat unfavorable view of the country, and they tend to name China as the nation that poses the greatest threat to the United States.>Still, attitudes toward China have warmed somewhat. For the first time in five years, the share of Americans with an unfavorable opinion of China has fallen from the year before – albeit slightly, from 81% in 2024 to 77% in 2025. And the share who have a very unfavorable opinion of China has dropped 10 percentage points since last year.>The share of Americans who call China an enemy of the U.S., rather than a partner or a competitor, has also fallen. One-third now hold this view, down from 42% last year.>Still, when asked which country poses the greatest threat to the U.S., Americans mention China more often than any other nation (42%). But the share who name China has fallen 8 points since 2023, when we last asked this question.>These are among the findings of a Pew Research Center survey conducted March 24-30, 2025, among 3,605 U.S. adults. The survey took place amid escalating economic tensions between the U.S. and China, caused in part by rapidly shifting tariff policies:>Before the survey was fielded, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed additional tariffs on China in February and again in early March.>After the survey concluded, Trump announced sweeping tariffs on many countries, including further tariffs on China, in April.>China also implemented new tariffs on the U.S., both before and after the survey was fielded.>Views by party>Negative attitudes toward China have softened among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, though they continue to be more critical of the country than Democrats and Democratic leaners. The share of Republicans with an unfavorable view of China is down 8 points since 2024, including a 16-point drop in the share with a very unfavorable view. In comparison, unfavorable views among Democrats saw a 5-point decline.>Republicans are 14 points less likely than they were in 2024 to label China an enemy of the U.S. Since we first began asking this question in 2021, Republicans have generally been more likely to call China an enemy than a competitor, but they are now equally likely to use each label. Among Democrats, the share who consider China an enemy has fallen 6 points since last year.>For their part, Democrats have become less likely to name China as the country posing the greatest threat to the U.S. – 28% say this is the case, down from 40% in 2023. Republicans saw a more muted change in that time (-5 points). For Democrats, much of this change relates to an increasing share naming Russia as the top threat to the U.S. >There have also been pronounced changes from previous years in partisan assessments of China’s international influence:>In 2024, Republicans were 10 points more likely than Democrats to say China’s global influence was growing. Now, adults in both parties are equally likely to hold this view.>While Republicans used to be more inclined than Democrats to label China the world’s top economic and military power, Democrats are now more likely to hold these views.>Views on trade and tariffs>Americans do not think the trade relationship between the U.S. and China is balanced. Nearly half (46%) say China benefits more from U.S.-China trade, though a quarter say both countries benefit equally; 10% think the U.S. benefits more.>A majority of Republicans say China benefits more from the U.S.-China trade relationship. Democrats are divided between the view that both countries benefit equally and the view that China benefits more.>We asked the same questions about U.S. trade with Canada and Mexico. Americans consider the U.S.-China trade relationship more unbalanced than the others: 26% of Americans say Canada benefits more than the U.S. from their trade relationship, and 29% say this in Mexico’s case.>Americans are largely skeptical about the effects of increased tariffs on China. About half say these tariffs will be bad for the U.S., and a similar share say the tariffs will be bad for them personally.>Among Democrats, 80% think the tariffs will harm the country, and 75% believe these measures will harm them personally. Republicans are more optimistic. While only 17% say increased tariffs on China will be good for them personally, they are more inclined to say the tariffs will be good than bad for the country (44% vs. 24%). >>2488921nigeria's rise in population number is something else lol

"The risks extend beyond technology to markets, partnerships, and governance, signaling a pivotal moment in global space competition.">Among the paper's key findings is that Chinese commercial space investment has exploded over recent years. In 2015, the People's Republic spent just $340 million on its non-government space industries. By 2024, the report claims, it'd invested $2.86 billion, the vast majority of which came from central, municipal, or provincial governments.>Indeed, in 2024, China has made rapid progress on its lunar and planetary exploration programs, which it shares with international space agencies through initiatives like the International Lunar Research Station (in fact, the country even shares lunar samples with the US, despite tensions between the two countries that preclude virtually all collaboration in space research.)>NASA's long-awaited Artemis Mars program, meanwhile, seems almost frozen in its tracks.>"This rapid progression, combined with China’s proven track record — such as the world’s first lunar far-side sample return — signals not just technological ambition but a deliberate bid to redraw partnerships of deep space exploration," the Commercial Space Federation paper frets.>In addition, China now boasts six spaceports, over six regional research hubs to fuse academic, commercial, and government research, and a low-orbit space station that's set to take the place of NASA's International Space Station after it's retired without a replacement in 2030. The People's Republic recently topped the UK in total satellites in orbit, now second behind the US, which relies almost entirely on private companies like SpaceX to launch payloads.>As if this weren't enough, China is leading the world in international space infrastructure projects via its Belt and Road Initiative, with some 80 collaborative programs in satellite fabrication, launch systems, ground control, data sharing, and training facilities currently underway, according to the report.>"The trend line is unmistakable," the report huffs, "China is not only racing to catch up — it is setting pace, deregulating, and, at times, redefining what leadership looks like on and above Earth.">While it's difficult to compare the US to China for a number of reasons — in fact, a fairer economic contrast for China would be India — the fact that the People's Republic is catching up to the US in spaceflight at all is staggering.>In 1981, when NASA was old enough to drink, China was one of the poorest countries on earth, with some 800 million citizens living in extreme poverty. In the four decades since, China has eradicated extreme poverty — the largest such alleviation in history — while making steady progress on a space program that's now among the most accomplished in the world.>With decades of lead time, the US arguably remains the dominant force in space for now — but unless it can bring NASA back to its former glory, those days could soon be numbered. >>2489418>highnessMy sincere apologies, I was indeed being condescending

>>2490495>upmass>launches???? what even is this
Everyone knows that SpaceX's stats are inflated by listing fuel as cargo.
>>2490495>>2489952>>2490507The "report" is a lobbying piece made by old space companies of the US MIC that have been out competed by SpaceX and want more congress pork. There has been a huge cope among leftoids and liberals about SpaceX (and the US space program in general) because it's technologically more advanced so there is an incentive to making it look bad. I admit the feelings leading to that are understandable given the CEO is an hitlerian boer and that the US is basically the fourth reich. Still SpaceX dwarves basically everything else, last quarter they did 45 orbital launches with China being second with 15, I never heard the claims about stats being inflated and I think it doesn't make sense there because upmass is defined by mass to orbit, and there is generally little fuel left in whatever got up there, but I'll reserve my judgement.
That being said, and even with me thinking that Starship will be a very successful and revolutionary spacecraft when it's finished, I have little doubt that China will catch up and surpass the US eventually (they are developing their own Starship with LM9), and I give 50/50 chance of either one walking on the moon first for this century.
>>2491259Dude you're retarded. In a China-US war in the South China Sea area, America is just going to use their submarine fleet to nonstop harass and sink every Chinese naval vessel to set up a blockade. Hypersonic missiles won't matter because the US won't be stupid enough to deploy any above-water vessels near the vicinity of Chinese launchers.
China will lose by default because 80% of their imports come through the Strait of Malacca. If China were serious about going to war they would be building millions of submarines to ensure they don't get economically strangled to death like the Germans did in WW1 and WW2 by the British and American navies.
Thank god Xi and the CPC have no intentions of actually going to war but if the newer, dumber, generations take power in China and seek to reunify they would get their shit kicked in.
>>2491265This is why China has launched the Belt and Road initiative. In the event of a naval blockade they can reroute goods by putting them on trains and sending them to ports in friendly countries like those in Mainland SEA, Pakistan or even have them go through Central Asia and then ship those goods using ports on the coast of the Red Sea in South Russia or of the Persian Gulf in Iran.
That's not considering if a blockade against China would last at all or that China has clearly much more potential for autarky than the West (not to mention Russia which has fared well), meaning it would hurt the latter much more.

>>2488888Well, look at it this way - at least China will never catch up to America in geocentric astronomy, creation science or flat-earth geology.

It's not making it to the moon. It's basically America's N1 rocket. The earliest that they can make it is probably the early 2030s and that's assuming that Starships stop exploding on the launchpad. CZ-9 hasn't even launched yet but if it just makes it to low-earth orbit, it's done more than Starship.

https://archive.is/Z3BSF>Chinese lab unveils moon brick maker for lunar facility construction>At the ongoing 2025 World Manufacturing Convention in Hefei in east China's Anhui Province, a Chinese space-tech lab has unveiled a lunar brick maker that turns moon dust into bricks.>As the world's first proof-of-concept machine of this kind, it is designed to focus sunlight to generate temperatures above 1,300 degrees Celsius, thus melting lunar soil to create shaped bricks.>Bricks produced on site can be used to build roads and structures on the moon, thereby laying the groundwork for developing future lunar research stations and propelling China's deep-space exploration goals.>This device uses a parabolic reflector to concentrate solar energy, which is then transmitted through a fiber optic bundle. At the end of this bundle, the solar concentration ratio can exceed 3,000 times normal intensity, according to the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory (DSEL) based in Hefei, capital of Anhui.>To ensure this machine is capable of adapting to various types of lunar soil, DSEL researchers developed multiple simulated lunar soil samples and conducted extensive testing on the machine before finalizing its design.>China initiated the International Lunar Research Station – a scientific experimental facility that will consist of sections both on the lunar surface and in lunar orbit. It is projected to be constructed in two phases, namely a basic model to be built by 2035 in the lunar south pole region, and an extended model to be built in the 2040s.>Other technologies unveiled at the four-day event in Anhui include an ultra-lightweight reusable heat shield for rockets, a computational-lithography platform for chipmaking, a non-invasive brain-computer-interface acquisition system and a universal technology foundation for intelligent robots.>>2492004Same elements yeah but more resources is more resources. Also Mars in particular has a shitload of iron oxide sand all over its surface which is why it's red, the amount of iron would be incredible
>>2492006I doubt they'd cost trillions unless we start sending thousands of people there. The cost will continue to be in the 10s of billions with these R&D programs until all the technology required for colonization exists, then it might go into the 100s of billions to start sending colonists.
>>2491990How about moving industry to space to save Earth?
>>2492000Communism will only be achieved in space, where different modes of production have enough space to not lunge at each others throats every two seconds and the better and more stable mode of production wins by just existing.
>>2491493>>2491485>Starship can't even get to low earth orbit without exploding. It's not making it to the moon. It's basically America's N1 rocket. Starship is already making suborbital flights with soft landings in the ocean, it would be trivial to push it in orbit but the whole goal now is to work out the heat shield to make it reusable, which is basically impossible to do without flight testing with current fluid dynamic models, and they are progressing fast. N1 would have worked eventually with more trials and resources assigned to the program, SpaceX doesn't have this issue because they have more than enough cash flow, the privilege of having a monopoly on LEO internet…
I think orbital flights should happen next year or in 2027, then they need to work out orbital refueling which may be tricky though it's not impossible they make it by 2030 but there is a probability China gets there first. The thing is without LM9 their operations on the moon will be very small apollo style missions compared to what the americans will be able to bring (whole HLS)
Btw it's funny to see USSR fans criticizing SpaceX for their iterative and destructive development process because that is ironically more soviet style than NASA's
>>2492229I'm stating facts, Musk grifts the state department sure but SpaceX has a monopoly on LEO internet, they're the only ones in town with a rocket that has a reusable first stage, they launch

Also obviously Japanese bioweapon tech was extremely rudimentary compared to what countries like China or the US can do, and the "science" done in unit 731 was shit just like in the german camps so it would have no bearing on current biotechnology.

As far as the wuhan virology institute goes, if it did leak from there it was from research organised and funded by Americans because they considered it too dangerous to so on American soil
>>2492886Actually Covid was a Fort Detrick lab leak and they covered it up by blaming respiratory problems on vapes.
t. Chinese grad student I dated during Covid
>>2492886>>2492912While we can't know if any country could have foreseen how a virus would have affected them, it's clear that only two actors came out of Covid if not positively, then much much less hurt than their competitors. They are Western finance capital and China.
The former has the ability to grow by cannibalizing the real economy and as such it precisely has the gromostwth potential in an economic downturn. Furthermore finance capital heavily relies on IT which conforms well to its speculative nature. IT solutions became extremely important under the pandemic.
The latter, China was the only major country that could exercise a degree of social control which allowed it to eradicate the pandemic extremely quickly and also preserve its productive economy. This is very important because it was covid that initiated the great decoupling and China didn't even have to necessarily fare better at keeping the disease under control, because the restrictions themselves allowed China to reverse the trends of becoming increasingly addicted to USD and allowing state control over the economy to recede.
Interestingly both China and the US came to accuse each other of creating virus. It wouldn't be surprising if either of them were responsible or - and this is the spiciest scenario - there was a tacit agreement between Chinese and American intelligence to have China reassert its sovereignty while allowing US capital to start cannibalising anything they still have control over, particularly Europe and the Western petit-bourgeoisie. The decision to provoke Russia to invade Ukraine was then only made as an extension of this policy.
After all, if it's still possible to establish communism after half of humanity is exterminated as per Mao, then a few dead Western pensioners are really just collateral.

FTFM
Xi Jinping is attacking China's financial sector. He tried in 2015, but failed.
Now, having consolidated the Party, government, and military, he's attacking the financial sector again. On September 6, 2025, Yi Huiman, former Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, was arrested. He served as the white glove for the powerful figures behind China's financial sector.
Will Xi Jinping truly ensure Party control over finance? This is a core interest of the Republic's true elite. But the rampant corruption resulting from the institutional failures of the financial sector is truly unacceptable. If the full extent of the corruption and the individuals involved were revealed, the CCP's rule would be fundamentally undermined.
On the other hand, China's financial sector is incredibly complex. Xi Jinping's relatives may even be involved.
My view of Xi Jinping has always been that I recognize his abilities, but I disagree with his policies. If he can consolidate the financial sector, his rule will be unshakable. but he will also have eliminated all the obstacles and mistakes that have plagued China since its reform and opening up.
As a Chinese, future is very uncertain….
>>2495037>why the fuck does a Chinese movie indulge in Christianity?Fuck knows. It's somewhat historically accurate because there would have been missionaries and converts in Manchuria during that time.
Having said that though i don't understand why they need to be representative on screen, especially not so highly. Ridiculous people need only be ridiculed.
Still a good movie though, don't get me wrong.
>>2495605Oh yea, the 'Japanese people don't go to heaven' bit is probably the only satisfactory payoff of the god stuff.
>>2495582Xi needs to put on his Mao suit/hat and have these people shot.
This was interesting stuff though, thanks.
>>24955871. His level of centralization has surpassed that of Mao's era. He have surpassed Mao in terms of power across the board, as democratic centralism was still functioning normally during Mao's era.
However, in the past two months, he has delegated some power to Li Qiang.
2. He abuses nationalism while suppressing populism. He attempts to create a sense of nationhood.
How can I put it this way? It's like you can't have your own opinions; you just have to follow his lead. Maybe he's right, but you just don't like it.
3. Censorship. Many of the online novels I used to love have disappeared. (Censorship isn't really a big deal; it's just unacceptable to me personally.)
In other words, to us, Xi Jinping is a traditional Chinese emperor, not a communist. This may address some of your questions. While he may be a good emperor, he's definitely not a good communist.>>2495587
>>2495092>The working class does not control the state-That is objectively good. The communist party controls the state, which also happens to be the most advanced vanguard if the working class.
THAT is proletarian MERITOCRACY, you whining leftcom/,anarchist bitch.
FIRST PROVE TO THE WORKING CLASS, THAT YOU CAN REPRESENT THEM.
THEN REPRESENT THEM!!!Your problem is with representation as such, you dirty anarchist, and not with the Chinese DotP, you little anarchist bitch.

>>2491678>They say Japanese colonialism was relatively benign there, I guess they dodged shit like comfort women, the rape of Nanking and Unit 731 and they feel grateful for that.Literally the entire Taiwan Independence movement was founded by pro-Japanese collaborators. Lee Teng-hui once described himself as "spiritually Japanese", denied the Nanjing Massacre and said that the Diaoyu Islands belonged to Japan.
>>2495089I know you think that the "CCP" is this rotten edifice that's going to collapse at any moment but its claim to power is the fact it is the accomplishments that it has delivered to the Chinese people.

>>2496518idk how Chinese nationalists dont love Xi (and all CCP leaders since 1949) when they have been the greatest nationalists of any country in history
like bruh, what more can you ask?!
>>2496727Can you name a foreign policy that demonstrates China's strength? You can't, and neither can I, because literally 95% of Xi Jinping's energy is focused on domestic policy. He's done absolutely nothing to satisfy nationalists. "Do Nothing" isn't a meme; Xi Jinping remains consistently ordinary and boring in foreign policy.
Yes, that may be he is right， But nationalists are stupid. They only want to see what they think is right. For example, conquering Outer Mongolia, conquering Taiwan or something
>As a Chinese, I think the title "The Death of China's New Left" is grossly inaccurate. Although the term "New Left" was coined in the last century, it's a very broad term.
>It can refer to democratic socialists, nationalists, Maoists, European Marxists, and more. In Bo Xilai's time, the left wasn't an independent voice; it was lumped together with populists and nationalists in the anti-liberal camp.
>Bo was also an official who exploited populism to build momentum. In my opinion, he's even worse than Zyuganov. >After Bo, we can see a gradual split between the red conservatives, reformists and the New Left.

https://www.chinadailyasia.com/hk/article/620738>Taiwan leader's pro-Japanese-aggressor remarks draw widespread criticism>BEIJING - Recent statements made by Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) have echoed the perspective of Japanese aggressors, drawing sharp criticism across Taiwan for distorting history and betraying the Chinese nation.>This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's return to China. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have held commemorative events. However, the DPP authorities have refrained from hosting official celebrations of the victory – a victory which Lai has repeatedly referred to as the "end of war", echoing the perspective of Japanese aggressors, rather than recognizing China's triumph.>Taiwan media editorials have condemned the remarks. The United Daily News described Lai's use of "end of war" as aligning with Japanese militarism, calling it "absurd". A China Times editorial said that Lai's preference for the term reflects an attempt to legitimize Japan's colonial rule over Taiwan, driven by lingering post-colonial sentimen>Critics have also targeted recent statements in which Lai attributed Taiwan's current peace and stability to the "foresight of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe", and in which DPP Secretary-General Hsu Kuo-yung claimed that "there was no Taiwan Restoration Day" and "the Taiwanese were Japanese at the time". Commentators have said that such remarks distort Taiwan's historical and political reality, and are an international laughingstock. The results of a recent YouTube poll by Taiwan's Chinatimes.com show that over 95 percent of respondents disagreed with Hsu's statement.>Public discourse has increasingly criticized the DPP's pro-Japan stance as part of its broader "Taiwan independence" agenda. Analysts note that while the DPP claims to defend Taiwan's autonomy and dignity, it simultaneously undermines the dignity and historical memory of the Chinese nation.>In recent days, Typhoon Ragasa has killed nearly 20 people in Taiwan, a commentary on UDN.com said, noting that Lai Ching-te's so-called defensive resilience, which he has touted with pride, remains focused not on disaster prevention but solely on "anti-China" sentiment.>Recent surveys also indicate rising public dissatisfaction. The results of United Daily News' annual cross-Strait relations poll show that 63 percent of respondents disapprove of Lai's handling of cross-Strait affairs – a 20-percentage-point increase from last year.>Chen Fu-yu, chairman of the ChinaTide Association, recently said that in pursuit of "relying on foreign forces to seek independence", the DPP authorities have repeatedly distorted history and glorified Japanese colonial rule, attempting to erase the shared contributions of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in resisting Japanese aggression. Chen emphasized that people living in Taiwan today will never allow any force to separate Taiwan from China. >>2498054NTC
I am ">middle class" and not ">white". I live among other middle class people. The broad culture of the middle class is disgusting and should be rejected, and it disturbs me to see a rising country follow in our dirty trail of litter. I say that out of
sympathy.
It is deeply worrying that other countries look to capitalism culture (brand worship, collector consumerism, vaskning, proudly wasteful luxury) in envy. The propaganda worked beyond borders and now one of the largest populations on Earth are increasingly becoming antisocial gluttons with their newfound liberty. I only hope they awaken and get sick of it before they finish the disaster we started… or that the party will become bold enough to rehabilitate the country.

imma log off for a little while, enjoy the week comr8.
>>2497988>>2498054I don't think this study is about actual classes, it's just some arbitrary wealth cutoffs, by the looks of it.
"The middle class" as we know it from 1950s-2000s west was capital's mass support base, they include the labor aristocracy and petty bourgeois. Their consciousness is not proletarian since the labor aristocratic part of it is separated from the actual working class in all of their material conditions. The only reason it could be so strong in the west previously is the position of absolute power over all of the third world and ability to extract enormous imperialist rent, the largest source of which was China itself.
I have no idea what this "middle class" in China means today and probably no one else here does, either, except the two Chinese people who come by occasionally. I would guess that it's a qualitatively different phenomenon because China still exports more value than it imports. Are these 700 million people anti-proletarian scum who dream of making a stock portfolio and nothing else? Would love to hear from people who know.
We would be hearing very different news from China if they were not socialist. Something more like what is heard every year from Soviet republics today: whole seas drying up, soil decay and desertification, collapse of vital industries, crime culture and general decay in culture and education, old diseases coming back, and so on. Those news come from USA and other imperialist countries as well. It's just what a country with its productive forces loose looks like in this age.

>>2500094>They think a Jihadist theocratic state in Xinjiang is better suited for socialism than the PRC.They also simped for the "Syrian rebels" since 2011 and cheered the fall of the Syrian Arab Republic. Now they not only want to forget about that but they now insist that "tankies" and "ziggers" were the real HTS supporters all along. And that's just one example too. Funny how the Actual Socialists throughout history seem to not only dispise actual socialism but love actual fascism.
>>2502430>China's not stupid they'll only use their H1B system to pick up high skilled workers that they need in critical sectors like for semiconductors. If you think they're going to use H1B visas for food delivery you're crazy they already know the problems from that since Hong Kong is right next door and still capitalist and they see the horrific effects every day.You need at least a bachelor's degree to even get a K-visa. They're trying to get unemployed science and technology researchers to come to China because China will be where the science happens from here on out. Anybody claiming that K-visas are going to burrito taxi drivers is not being crazy, they're being dishonest. But then again, what can you expect from the "Left" wing of the anti-Communist movement?
>>2498765It's an ancient 2012 poll and God only knows how they gauged "brand loyalty" other than maybe asking "do you like this one brand and would you buy it again?" which tells you nothing.
Over the years the Chinese consumers proved themselves to be the most disloyal and critical market in the world. Your continued success is NOT guaranteed there no matter how loyal you perceived your Chinese buyers to be in the past - legacy automakers learned this the hard way.
Cars, phones, celebrities, fashion labels, entire sports organizations can and do sink in mere days over there if they do something sketchy or insulting to the Chinese customers. And those that try remaining "loyal" despite the criticisms are branded as traitors.
Audi and Mercedes were considered prestigious because party officials loved them way back in the day - now that reputation got flipped on its head and Audis are perceived as soulless, overpriced, tech primitive boomermobiles for cringelords. Precisely because they failed to innovate and compete but still demanding a luxury price tag.
Samsung was beloved. OVERNIGHT it died because Samsung tried to fuck over Chinese customers over melting batteries due to a faulty batch. They refunded Americans and Europeans but not the Chinese thinking their market is secured. Samsung plummeted. Everything Korean took a hit in the backlash, leading to LG pulling out of the country a year later and then cancelling all phones in 2021 altogether because they lost the Chinese market lifeline.
Tesla and Apple, once praised for their tech, fell out of favor in China not because Tim and Elon said something bad (on the contrary both Tim Apple and Elongated Muskrat and his mum praise China) but simply because their products failed to innovate and compete.
So many fashion brands got mauled over Xinjiang cotton fiasco. In 2021 there was a concentrated glowie campaign where the US advised western companies to follow up the US sanctions on Xinjiang cotton with their own statements on various platforms. They thought this would work and that Chinese would be brand whores that would turn against their government because they trust Dolce Gabana over Xi or whatever. Of course it didn't work. It backfired catastrophically and many companies came back crawling on their knees and apologizing - Intel even throwing Blinken and buddies under the bus, saying the US state department made them do it lol.
Many stories like this. The Chinese will fanboy over your product if it's good. But if they fail to compete they get laughed at (Nio got clowned on by Nio fans for not having fridges like other cars) and if you fuck up with political stances, those "loyal" customers will be the first to boycott your shit.
>>2502694I wish that imageboards could be divided into lobbies and we could relegate the anti-China shitposters to bot lobbies where they can argue with Deepseek all day until they can reply with arguements other than snarky Marvel quips, strawmen and old media talking points from 2010 so we can actually get around to serious discussion here.
>>2502566Unironically, good luck. I hope you make it out. Wish I could do something with my associate's degree other than wait for the other shoe to drop.
>>2502430>>2502485>>2503644I hate borrowing right wing talking points but that is exactly how H1B started out too. And companies quickly learned how to circumvent the requirements, offering the jobs to Americans in newspapers but with tiny letters and then when they don't meet the quota they legally go on an H1B shopping spree.
Indians working at Silicon Valley are not smarter or more educated than Americans. They're just cheaper. Seeing the "best and brightest" fill the spots would be fine. But they're not doing that - they are the CEOs and the majority while the American STEM graduates get shafted. This isn't about Uber drivers.
These are jobs that the Chinese WANT and there are plenty of them in China to meet the quota. But no, instead of prioritizing their future in these uncertain times with youth unemployment, the government is throwing them aside so the line could go up.
I was reading the weibo comments and they're fucking scary. I never saw them this pissed and honestly they have every right to be. One of the good counterarguments they bring to the whole "CHINA IS DIFFERENT WE ARE NOT CAPITALIST" cope is that they already have capitalist strains in their economy and more importantly: this will be up to local governments. How these visas are implemented and how much the local government turns a blind eye on K visa circumvention will be at mercy of local governors. And seeing the outright liberal and bourgeois faction in Shanghai alone, this is a cause for concern.
Here's an example: Xi just told the EV startups that the final round is coming, no more handouts, bailouts and subsidies. They need to stop with discounts to get the market share. In other words the EV industry is consolidating. Like Xpeng CEO said the most profitable will remain while the vast majority will get liquidated and absorbed. So now you have panic going on. Imagine an automaker (or a robotics company, or a chipmaker etc.) in Hangzhou is struggling but he wants to survive against the rival in Chengdu. The directors beg the mayor to let them import cheaper K Visa tech workers so their profit margins improve - this is where the decision of local governors will play a part. In order to save the industries of their provinces some WILL turn a blind eye to porkies violating the K Visa reqs. Shanghai will do it first.
Anyway really ugly time ahead. Erodes the trust and motivation in young Chinese scientists now that they know they will be competing against the whole world for a workplace in an already competitive nation. You think bachelors from international schools are better than gaokao veterans? They fucking aren't. Rich Chinese parents send their kids to Yale because it's easier and with these traitorous visas they are equalized in their competency.
>>2503920Funny thing is that the same reports can be found on Taiwanese news/talk shows.
If Americlaps were to ever get their military budget and adventurism under control they'll have to acknowledge that good portion of their decision-makers are patriotic (zionist) for a completely unrelated country. Whether they're doing it out of Israeli nationalism or death cult neocon rapture reasoning makes little difference.

That should be a priority. There 1.4 billion of them already. They don't need Indian "talent" that never even approached Tsinghua.
>pulling India away from America?Who the FUCK gives a shit about that? Be real. Letting Americans ravage their own tech sector with unqualified imported workforce is beneficial to China. It's why inflated ChatGPT got obliterated by a Chinese student side project Deepseek.
>>2504057Absolutely normal reaction to have when faced with these news, especially when you hear what Palki Sharma is saying.
When was the last time you've been to Singapore? I go there every other year. It's depressing.
>>2504663>Chinese believe in heterosis, mixed race = superior.They really don't. During Tang only female migrants were allowed to come.
The comments you find on Weibo and Bilibili makes it clear what they think of interracial Indian couples. Let's not cope about Chinese stance on foreigners. This is getting pushback for a reason and legislators supporting this are receiving death threats.
>>2504957>The republican government literally made it illegal to persecute Manchus Hahaha. The ROC made many things "illegal". They still participated in racist discrimination, drug trade, landlord thuggery and turning a blind eye on mass rapes of Manchu girls. The revolution itself was stemmed in Manchu scapegoat racism and those same people formed the government after all.
No, it was the CPC that enforced the actual law while the KMT continued minority genocide on Taiwan.
Point is: you picked the worst most ironic fucking example imaginable to argue that the Chinese have changed and are totally super pro race mixing with mass Indian migrants to create a """superior""" race. Fucking INSANE delusional take.
>>2504967>Point is: you picked the worst most ironic fucking example imaginable to argue that the Chinese have changed and are totally super pro race mixing with mass Indian migrants to create a """superior""" race. Fucking INSANE delusional take.That wasn't me lol I just wanted to bring up one early attempt at reformist change to Chinese society as the Tang viewpoint was as ancient as Rome.
>Hahaha. The ROC made many things "illegal". They still participated in racist discrimination, drug trade, landlord thuggery and turning a blind eye on mass rapes of Manchu girls. The revolution itself was stemmed in Manchu scapegoat racism and those same people formed the government after all.>No, it was the CPC that enforced the actual law while the KMT continued minority genocide on Taiwan.I'm not denying any of that but China hasn't been an ethnostate in over 400 years.
>>2492216>>2492303Elon wasted 10 billion dollars to make the ugliest pile of shit on wheels in automotive history. Delayed for four years, overpriced from its promised cost and it can't even do what trucks are supposed to do. Its real range is 206 Miles. Chinese hybrids reach 600 for a quarter of the price.
10 billion. He can't even make a truck let alone a rocket. The only Tesla models that are selling were made before Musk's hostile acquisition of Tesla.
Space X is literally there to steal taxpayer's money. It sabotaged NASA and its ISS delivery rockets are more expensive than the previously used Russian ones. They also keep exploding in orbit.
No. Elon musk is only accidentally genius. As a covert MSS agent sent to destroy western tech advantage across various industries and make the ground fertile for Chinese primacy in all tech fields and markets.
>>2504997SpaceX has 2 "assembly lines", one staffed with former NASA scientists, another one with Musk's acquisitions. One rocket gets cargo to space, another blows up constantly. Guess which one is which, lol
IMO, SpaceX's deal is that it's a quasi-secret corrupt NASA branch, for whatever reason. They've probably planned to privatize space by forcing NASA scientists under the private enterprise's banner. Meanwhile, NASA itself gets funding cuts
>>2504997This is cope and hyper fixation on the hitlerian CEO again, Gwynne Shotwell runs spaceX not Musk. Soyuz is done, it's less capable and more expensive than Falcon 9 with dragon because they can't recover the engines and the first stage (duh), of course rocosmos and russian admins are seething about that and in denial but you could only run old ass soviet hardware for so long before someone passed you. China knows commercial space and reusability work because, well, they're doing just that!
Even with all the defaults of the starship achitecture, which stem mostly from the use of bleeding edge tech thar necessitates a lot of trials, the truth is the Artemis program by the old american MIC was always running into a wall by being too expensive and less capable than apollo with frankly stupid decisions like that moon orbital station.
>>2505518They're literal cultists that believe in magical organs and apartheid heaven while abusing kids on their restricted property pagodas that are protected under First Amendment.
YES they're fucking retarded. And so is the US government for funding and protecting cults like these.

a state capitalist economy governed by a communist party.
AES countries like China, DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are in a holding pattern while they wait for you to overthrow your own bourgeoisie in the imperial core. The required productive forces for defense of the revolution is always relative to the external forces that seek to overthrow it. A communist party governs over China in the transition from state capitalism to socialism to communism, but that transition will be crippled unless other countries have their own revolutions, because China is just 1 country in a global capitalist system. China will not violate your country's sovereignty to bring you socialism because it has strategically embraced non-interventionist foreign policy in defense of its own past revolution, and besides that, socialism is unlikely to be embraced by any given country if it is seen as a 5th column for some foreign power. It is up to the American proletariat to overthrow their own bourgeoisie. The same is true of DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. They will not invade America to bring America socialism. That is not their job. They might provide socialist Americans strategic aid once a real movement is off the ground, but as of yet there is no such militant mass movement that can claim legitimacy at a national scale.
>tfw China controls USA's AI drive by the balls
Even if the United States were to overcome its domestic bottlenecks and build 30–40 GW of new firm capacity in the next five years, the challenge would not end there. Critical components for modern energy infrastructure are increasingly controlled by foreign suppliers, particularly China. This dependency introduces a layer of strategic vulnerability that amplifies the domestic constraints and drives up costs for both AI and manufacturing.
China dominates key segments of the global energy supply chain. In battery production, China manufactures more than 80% of lithium-ion cells and a similarly high proportion of precursor materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite. In solar panels and polysilicon, over 70% of the world’s polysilicon and wafer production occurs in China. As for transformers and HVDC equipment, large transformers, critical for connecting new generation to the grid, have lead times of up to three years and are heavily imported from China and South Korea. Lastly, in nuclear forgings and reactor components, China controls much of the heavy industrial capacity for forging reactor-grade steel, large pressure vessels, and other nuclear-grade components.
>>2508262China’s dominance is not just about project timelines; it directly affects costs. Limited supply of transformers, batteries and other critical inputs allows global suppliers to raise prices. For example, transformer lead times exceeding three years, coupled with surging demand for grid upgrades, have already pushed prices up by 25–40% in recent years. Battery shortages similarly amplify storage costs, undermining attempts to firm intermittent renewables.
This has serious implications for American AI and ambitions for reindustrialisation. The combined effect of domestic and international constraints is that electricity for AI and manufacturing becomes expensive and unreliable. AI data centres, which cannot flexibly reduce consumption, will bid up costs, further straining industrial users. Energy-intensive manufacturing - already squeezed by global competition - will face higher input prices, making reindustrialisation far more difficult.
https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/10/02/peoples-republic-of-china-turns-76-what-stage-is-chinese-socialism-in/>People’s Republic of China turns 76: What stage is Chinese socialism in?>Xi Jinping announces the discussion of the 15th Five-Year Plan as the country concludes a cycle focused on quality development.>The People’s Republic of China celebrated its 76th anniversary this Wednesday, October 1. The anniversary coincided with the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the first planning cycle since the achievement of the First Centenary Goal in 2021, namely, “building a moderately prosperous society in all respects”, known as Xiaokang in China. The Second Centenary Goal, set for 2049 – the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China – aims to build the Asian powerhouse into a “great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious”. >The Five-Year Plans are used along the way by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to direct the country’s economic and social development toward the larger centenary goals.>At an official reception in the Great Hall of the People, President Xi Jinping announced that the fourth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party Central Committee will be held in November to discuss the next Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). The new plan aims to achieve “decisive progress” toward basic socialist modernization, a target set for 2035 as an intermediate step before the Second Centenary Goal in 2049. Xi emphasized that even since January 2025, the country has deepened reforms, promoted high-quality development, and improved living standards.>The reception brought together some 800 Chinese and foreign guests, including Premier Li Qiang, who presided over the event, and other party leaders such as Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, Li Xi, and Han Zheng. Xi reiterated his commitment to the “One Country, Two Systems” policy for Hong Kong and Macau and promised to expand exchanges with Taiwan, opposing separatism and external interference.>The timeline of the two centennial goals>The concept of the “Two Centenary Goals”, officially introduced in 2012 at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, establishes long-term milestones. The first goal was achieved in 2021, the centenary of the Communist Party, and included the eradication of extreme poverty as one of its main achievements.>The timetable up to the Second Centenary Goal in 2049 includes: completing the fundamental modernization of the People’s Liberation Army by 2027; implementing 300 measures to deepen reforms by 2029; and achieving basic socialist modernization by 2035.>Five-Year Plan abandons GDP target and prioritizes quality>The 14th Five-Year Plan, which ends this year, broke new ground by not establishing a quantitative GDP growth target for the first time in the history of China’s five-year plans. The strategy prioritized green transition, technological self-sufficiency, and common prosperity.>According to official data, more than 6.9 million people at risk of falling back into poverty were identified and provided preventive assistance. The “three guarantees” – compulsory education, basic healthcare, and safe housing – were expanded, consolidating the achievements of the eradication of extreme poverty completed in 2021.>“From a Chinese perspective, when we look back, we look back thousands of years, at a continuum. And when we look forward, we always want to look beyond this year or tomorrow,” explained Gao Zhikai, deputy director of the Center for China and Globalization. “When Deng Xiaoping made predictions about China in the 1970s, he looked to the end of the 20th century, the first quarter of the 21st century, and the middle of the 21st century.”>Rural revitalization as the basis of socialist evolution>Rural revitalization remains central to the development strategy. Du Taisheng, vice-rector of the China Agricultural University, told Brasil de Fato that “only when farmers’ problems are resolved can our agricultural modernization, and the modernization of the entire country, be finally achieved.”>The strategy calls for agricultural mechanization integrated with computerization, ecological practices, and smart technologies. Rural revitalization also includes other initiatives, such as encouraging urban residents to visit rural areas for tourism and ecological farming.>National defense and philosophy of peaceful resolution>On September 3, China held a military parade marking the 80th anniversary of its victory in World War II. Xi mentioned the date in his speech, emphasizing that historical experience should guide national construction.>“We always prioritize peace and want to distance ourselves from war of all kinds. In Chinese philosophy, war is always the last resort, after exhausting all other possibilities,” said Gao Zhikai. He contrasted this approach with countries that “tend to use war as a first option, using violence to solve problems.”>Still on foreign policy, Xi reinforced China’s commitment to multilateralism and the implementation of the Global Development, Security, Civilization and Governance Initiatives.

In a recent study published in Cell, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Capital Medical University introduced a new type of human stem cell called senescence-resistant mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRCs) by reprogramming the genetic pathways associated with longevity. These cells, which resist aging and stress without developing tumors, were tested on elderly crab-eating macaques, which share physiological similarities with humans in their 60s and 70s.
The research team conducted a 44-week experiment on these macaques. The macaques received biweekly intravenous injections of SRCs, with a dosage of 2×106 cells per kilogram of body weight. The researchers found no adverse effects among the macaques. Detailed assessments confirmed that the transplanted cells did not cause tissue damage or tumors.
The researchers discovered that SRCs triggered a multi-system rejuvenation, reversing key markers of aging across 10 major physiological systems and 61 different tissue types. The treated macaques exhibited improved cognitive function, and tissue analyses indicated a reduction in age-related degenerative conditions such as brain atrophy, osteoporosis, fibrosis, and lipid buildup.
At the cellular level, SRCs decreased the number of senescent cells, reduced inflammation, and increased progenitor cell populations in neural and reproductive tissues. They even stimulated sperm production. At the molecular level, SRCs enhanced genomic stability, improved responses to oxidative stress, and restored protein balance. More than 50% of the examined tissues showed a reversal of aging-related gene expression profiles to a younger state. Single-cell analyses revealed significant reversals in gene expression among peripheral blood cells (33%), the hippocampus (42%), and ovarian tissue (45%). Machine learning-based aging clocks estimated that the biological age of immature neurons was reversed by six-seven years, and that of oocytes by five years.

honestly this might be the way china solves its aging crisis. If there are lowering births then keep your population young forever. That way the death rate goes down, and the population is still useful as workers
