>>2616897This is a nationalist spectacle. Why would they honor a capitalist imperialist statist authoritarian? Do they know this is not real communism? Do they know that communism existed for a limited time in one particular West African society for 2 weeks?
>>2616928Lmao Chinese golden age and these sloppa producers still don't know
>>2616925channel's been around since 2021 and based in morocco but only starts posting english-language ai videos 4 weeks ago.
>>2616928funny they don't bother showing the actual ADIZ anymore since everyone knows it goes over mainland china now
>>2616986>channel's been around since 2021 and based in morocco but only starts posting english-language ai videos 4 weeks agoThat's great,
honey, but how is he wrong, again???
>>2616989just saying it's weird that this channel using a single image of a guy for every thumbnail and pseudo-live recording is doing stuff recently, not that the content of the videos is factually incorrect.
>>2617004*only doing stuff recently despite being around for this long
>>2617004>>2617005Nobody cares. He is 90%+ correct.
>>2617004>>2616986I dont blame non-anglos for using anglo-ai voice.
Had they used their natural accent, none of you angloids would bother listening to them in the first place.

>>2616893>>2616906>>2616987Who are you responding to?
>inb4 youWhile I'm much less keen on China than most of the people in these threads, I do respect China's achievements a great deal, and critically support them over the hotbed of reaction that is the US.
>>2617213Holy based. everybody wants to be protected by those statues but noone has ever seen them do shit for anyone. They never moved and saved your life.
>>2617262Neither has Muhammad…
>>2617213But they're just statues of soldiers? I thought idolatry only applied to images of dieties. This doesn't make sense even from an Islamic perspective.
>>2617266Irl muslims kinda avoid all kinds of statues
Most of them anyway

That's how delulu u r.
>>2617314>murder the actual Christian God um sweaty pontius pilate washed his hands. it was actually the pharisees in jerusalem who killed yung jeezy, and therefore all funny hat people are collectively guilty forever, but also it was good and necessary and needed to happen to save everyone or something
What are your opinions on HU JINTAO
Man, China is like a fantasy land to me.
China, chinese culture and civilization is superior to all the other OBJECTIVELY.
Any sinophiles here?
Guys, why is china so cool?
>>2617636So what I'm getting is that this guy has been to one or less coffee shops over the course of his life, and is extrapolating based off of a thing he saw once.
>>2617213>>2617411Burgers will see these schizos and say State Atheism bad because they're being opressed.
>>2617213uyghas will do shit like this and then cry to the un because they got sent to a reeducation camp
Taiwan tried to respond with a show of force but videos shared by Taiwanese netizens show American M60 tanks malfunctioning on the road.

>>2617213who gives a fuck. it's just a statue. if it's out in the open like that it's probably a replica not an original. guy was probably joking around anyway.
How likely is the invasion of Taiwan by the PRC?
>>2618089Unnecessary. After the mainland starts to dominate the chip industry Taiwan's economy will collapse and will beg the mainland for stability.
>>2617262>everybody wants to be protected by those statues source
>>2618089never. the usa is moving nuclear missiles onto taiwan and pointing them directly at xi's asshole and xi will say "thank you. you want some more of my oil? don't worry we won't cut the USA off of any rare earths"
>>2618145This would be like China moving its nuclear arsenal to Cuba. WW3 would start immediately if this would happen and americans know this.
>>2616928Lmao, China is doing drills just off the coast of Taiwan now, when 5 years ago China didn't cross the middle of the strait. Pelosi has awoken the dragon, and boiled island frogs are sure happy about their celebrations back then
>>2618144
I really don't trust this channel since the first time I watched. Do you guys have any proof what he's saying isn't completely made up AI hallucinations? What are the owner of the channel's sources etc?
>>2618286You are just being an Amerikkka First chauvinist.

Bros when is the taiwan war?
when will prc finally understand that there can be no military means to achieve reunification with taiwan until japan gives up its military control over luchu
there will be no taiwan war. the USA could literally sail an aircraft carrier to the middle of the straight and fly jets directly over beijing and xi would have strong words about it. the prc has shown it won't do shit about military action against it.
>>2618342when the burger masters of the "Taiwanese" decide
>>2618286everything he says is pretty much common sense at this point. He's really describing the death spiral of a society that consumes without producing, and tries to use its currency and military hegemony to gain leverage and force other people to take on its own debt, only for it to backfire, because the actual means of production are now in the hands of the places they outsourced to. Dutch and British empires underwent similar decline. This non-AI video from Ray Dalio, who is real, basically makes the same points.
My suspicion is that the channel you are complaining about is simply someone in the global south doing whiteface to get more clicks. Because why not?
>>2618542>burgers could do x y zok then they should do it. oh wait, they're not.
>>2618543So never?
>>2618542Everything always happens, we will have it in our lifetime.
>>2618562>So never?idk, depends on how insane, demented, and suicidal our burger fuhrers get
>>2618342I hope not soon. Falling for USA provocations would be a huge mistake instead of invading on your own terms. China needs time for rearmament while USA is falling behind militarily. For now the only winning move is doing nothing (and winning).
the prc did nothing to block the latest sale of weapons to taiwan. they will do nothing to block the delivery of the weapons. the usa will install ballistic missiles on taiwan and the prc will submit
>>2618562>>2618566the only circumstance in which a war over taiwan would happen would be one in which the PRC deems any further attempt to pursue peaceful reunification impossible.
right now, although the DPP are currently in control of the ROC executive and are openly pursuing taiwanese independence, they lost control of the legislature in 2024 and failed to get it back in the abortive recall campaign earlier this year. their main opposition in the kmt is headed by a candidate who is pro 92 consensus and who is likely to win the next election. given that over time, as standard of living continues to decline in taiwan and increase on the mainland, people will naturally trend towards reunification overtime, as seen with increasing amounts of young taiwanese people supporting cross-strait normalization (also the reason the taiwanese gov banned xiaohongshu a few weeks ago)
the only circumstance where a war is likely is if the DPP pull a yoon suk-yeol and declare martial law, which is a possibility since the dpp were one of the only parties in the world to officially support martial law in south korea in the few hours it was in effect.
ofc this would happen with consent from and/or support from the us military and intelligence services.
10% of all RoC citizens currently are residing in mainland China.
Pretty crazy if you think about this.
>>2618728makes sense since the prc recognizes all residents of taiwan as prc citizens
>>2618727but if reunification happens, that means the biggest stock market bubble in US history is no longer dependent on taiwanese manufacturing, but on PRC manufacturing. that's a checkmate. it might trigger the burgers into crashing out and embracing kill-everyone-ism.
>"To further balance the relationship between the government and the market we need to decide which of the two is to play the decisive role in allocating resources. To boost the economy we must enhance the efficiency of the allocation of resources, especially that of scarce resources, so that we can use fewer resources to make more products and gain more benefits. Both theory and practice have proved that the allocation of resources by the market is the most effective means to this end. It is a general rule of the market economy that the market decides the allocation of resources, and a market economy in essence is one in which the market determines resource allocation. We have to follow this rule when we improve the socialist market economy. We should work harder to address the problems of market imperfection, too much government interference and lack of oversight. Positioning the market as playing a “decisive role” in resource allocation is conducive to establishing the correct notion of the government-market relationship…" - Xi Jinping, The Governance of China
Socialism status?
>>2618727the USA has woken up to the PRC's subtle gradual tactics. they will step in with force to prevent any progress in of that kind in Taiwan or anywhere else in the world. the PRC needs to nut up (they won't)
>>2618757What we have to deal with here is a communist society, not as it has developed on its own foundations, but, on the contrary, just as it emerges from capitalist society; which is thus in every respect, economically, morally, and intellectually, still stamped with the birthmarks of the old society from whose womb it emerges. Accordingly, the individual producer receives back from society – after the deductions have been made – exactly what he gives to it.
>>2618761there isn't really anything they can do about it that they haven't done already, save for getting the dpp to declare martial law which would almost certainly provoke the prc into starting a cross-strait war.
>>2618757given how long the governance of china is and how many speeches are contanied in it, you can make xi jinping say just about anything if you quotemine hard enough
>>2618814More drills, eh?
If these drills are for military reasons, that's fine, but if they're supposed to send a message to the US, that message has become barely registerable as a result of overuse. No wonder Trump is out there quipping that China has been doing these drills for decades.
>>2618860>NativLangFuck yes
>>2618864tfw he's been making a bunch of videos about Chyna lately and I know zero Chinese so I don't understand them sadface
>>2618855It is useful in itself though, it keeps the mainland military fresh if they ever need to invade at a moment notice and it makes the taiwanese air force logs hours which attrition their airframes.
>>2618799>given how long the governance of china is and how many speeches are contanied in it, you can make xi jinping say just about anything if you quotemine hard enoughThat extends to basically every historically significant thinker. It's why quotemining as argumentation is so obnoxious. People have been puppeting around the corpses of Marx, Engels, and Lenin so much and for so long that the flesh has all but peeled off at this point.
>>2618761>the PRC needs to nut up (they won't)They will conduct 250,000 more naval drills around the little island, and you will like it.
>>2618855Trump is a complete buffoon its between military leadership that signals are sent.
>>2619069i agree. that's all they'll do.
>>2619069They'll do air drills right on top of Taiwanese airfields, and Taiwan will do nothing about it, and you will still claim that China is cucking out
>>2618676the USA cannot win a conventional war with china because the USA relies on China too much for production, including war-related production. America sacrificed its productive forces for hegemony a long time ago and undoing that mistake will take more time than they have left on the clock. The American empire is over, and it becomes more over every second.
>>2619100Like, from what anyone sane and/or neutral would see, China is boiling the island frogs; Chinese "provocations" with intrusings beyond median line went unanswered, and now China is conducting more excercises and more intrusions deeper and deeper into Taiwanese claims, with Taiwan CUCKING OUT on their threats, and Taiwan in practice losing air and sea to China.
What are they gonna do if China one day imposes checks and searches into Taiwan-bound ships? Fucking nothing. They would not respond, just like how they didn't respond to Chinese jets over Taiwanese air, Chinese ships in Taiwanese territorial waters - claimed median line and beyond, just how they didn't respond to Chinese unilateral restrictions on Taiwanese pineapples (lmao) and wood. What island frogs are gonna do? They are already in like 80 celsius degrees hot soup, and they still don't try to jump out
>>2619100they still do claim the adz over the mainland, but since they realize this makes them look extremely unreasonable, they stick to only reporting on movements across the median line of the taiwan strait.
of course, the americans love sailing warships through the straits as part of "freedom of navigation" but since that looks bad it isn't really reported on.
>>2619105They were reporting it all the time when China was letting them. Now it's a very rare occasion, and they sail like one destroyer tops. Americans don't sail near Diaoyu either, and have drastically decreased their presence in SCS, too, instead trying to make Philippines confront China on their behalf
>>2619125i don't get the "joke". Deng Xiaoping tricked the yanks into abandoning their productive forces. This has nothing to do with /pol/tard anime pfp schizo rants about MVH DEGENERACY
>>2619134referencing tiananmen
>>2619100>Taiwan claimed AIDS over MainlandFreddy Mercury is rolling in they/them grave.
>>2619130Super-cute and super-ML.
Greetings to all! Year after year, life opens a fresh chapter. As the new year begins, I extend my best wishes to you from Beijing!
The year 2025 marks the completion of China's 14th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development. Over the past five years, we have pressed ahead with enterprise and fortitude, and overcome many difficulties and challenges. We met the targets in the Plan and made solid advances on the new journey of Chinese modernization. Our economic output has crossed thresholds one after another, and it is expected to reach RMB 140 trillion yuan this year. Our economic strength, scientific and technological abilities, defense capabilities, and composite national strength all reached new heights. Clear waters and lush mountains have become a salient feature of our landscape. Our people enjoy a growing sense of gain, happiness and security. The past five years have been a truly remarkable journey, and our accomplishments have not come easily. Your unwavering hard work has made our nation thrive and prosper. I salute you all for your exceptional diligence and invaluable contributions.
This year is full of indelible memories. We solemnly commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and established the Taiwan Recovery Day. These grand national events were majestic and powerful, and the glory of victory will shine through the pages of history. They are inspiring all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation to remember history, honor fallen heroes, cherish peace, and create a better future. They are rallying a mighty force for the great rejuvenation of our nation.
We sought to energize high-quality development through innovation. We integrated science and technology deeply with industries, and made a stream of new innovations. Many large AI models have been competing in a race to the top, and breakthroughs have been achieved in the research and development of our own chips. All this has turned China into one of the economies with the fastest growing innovation capabilities. The Tianwen-2 probe began its star-chasing journey to explore asteroids and comets. Construction of the hydropower project at the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River started. China's first aircraft carrier equipped with an electromagnetic catapult system was officially commissioned. Humanoid robots did kung fu kicks, and drones performed spectacular light shows. Inventions and innovations have boosted new quality productive forces and added colorful dimensions to our lives.
We endeavored to nurture our spiritual home with cultural development. There was a surging public interest in cultural relics, museums, and intangible cultural heritage. A new Chinese cultural site was added to the World Heritage List. Cultural IPs such as Wukong and Nezha became global hits. The younger generation came to deem classic Chinese culture as the finest form of aesthetic expression. The cultural and tourism sectors thrived. The "super league" football games in our cities and villages attracted numerous fans. Ice and snow sports ignited people's passion for the winter season. Tradition is now embracing modernity, and the Chinese culture is shining in even greater splendor.
We joined hands to build a better life and enjoyed it together. I attended celebrations in Xizang and Xinjiang. From the snow-covered plateau to both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, people of various ethnic groups are united as one, like seeds of a pomegranate sticking together. With white khatas and passionate singing and dancing, they expressed their love of the motherland and the happiness they enjoy. No issue of the people is too small; we care for every leaf and tend every branch in the garden of people's well-being. Over the past year, the rights and interests of the workforce in new forms of employment have been better protected, facilities have been upgraded to bring more convenience to the elderly, and each family with childcare needs has received a subsidy of RMB 300 yuan per month. When the happy hum of daily life fills every home, the big family of our nation will go from strength to strength.
We continued to embrace the world with open arms. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin and the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women were very successful; and island-wide special customs operations were launched in the Hainan Free Trade Port. To better address climate change, China announced new Nationally Determined Contributions. After announcing the three global initiatives on development, security, and civilization, I put forward the Global Governance Initiative to promote a more just and equitable global governance system. The world today is undergoing both changes and turbulence, and some regions are still engulfed in war. China always stands on the right side of history, and is ready to work with all countries to advance world peace and development and build a community with a shared future for humanity.
Not long ago, I attended the opening ceremony of the National Games, and I was glad to see Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao coming together in unity and acting in unison. We should unswervingly implement the policy of One Country, Two Systems, and support Hong Kong and Macao in better integrating into the overall development of our country and maintaining long-term prosperity and stability. We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share a bond of blood and kinship. The reunification of our motherland, a trend of the times, is unstoppable!
Only a strong Communist Party of China can make our country strong. We launched the study and education program on fully implementing the central Party leadership's eight-point decision on improving Party and government conduct. We exercised strict governance of the Party through credible measures, and promoted the Party's self-revolution to fight corruption and advance healthy governance. As a result, the conduct of our Party and government steadily improved. We must stay true to our original aspiration and founding mission, and pursue our goal with perseverance and dedication. We should continue to give a good answer to the question on how to maintain long-term governance put forth in a cave dwelling in Yan'an and prove ourselves worthy of the people's expectation in the new era.
The year 2026 marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan. A successful venture should start with a good plan and with clear goals set. We should focus on our goals and tasks, boost confidence, and build momentum to press ahead. We should take solid steps to promote high-quality development, further deepen reform and opening up across the board, deliver prosperity for all, and write a new chapter in the story of China's miracle.
The dream lofty, the journey long—bold strides will get us there. Let us charge ahead like horses with courage, vitality, and energy, fight for our dreams and our happiness, and turn our great vision into beautiful realities.
The sun of the new year will soon rise. May our great motherland stand in magnificence! May the fields across the country deliver good harvest! May our nation bathe in the glory of the morning! May you all enjoy life to the fullest, and achieve every success! May all your dreams come true!
>>2619134Deng Xiaoping was one of the OG comrades who fought alongside Mao against impossible odds so this is beyond me too.
>>2619141Truly ameribrained "joke". Only thing they can understand is spoonfed propaganda.
>>2619134Sure, Dung tricked the yanks into hiring infinite masses of Chinese scabs to destroy the power of the working classes worldwide and crush socialism.
China will be partitioned after Xi dies.
>>2619805
Nothing new to me but a good video. The more time China spends building up its military, the better. Its USA who is falling behind every single year.
>>2619647>Sure, Dung tricked the yanks into hiring infinite masses of Chinese scabs Scabbing is a good agitation term in the context of labor struggles inside one country or a couple of neighboring countries, but as soon as you're looking at an international situation it is less descriptive. Marx always said reserve army of labor or relative surplus population because the goal is to be scientific and descriptive, while "scabbing" is a term meant to shame workers who betray their fellow workers by breaking a picket line. When the US outsourced manufacturing jobs, plants just wholesale closed. There was no picket line to break. This characterization of imperialist dynamics seems to come from people who have mere trade union consciousness. Actual communists understand that porky outsources to the periphery. To call millions of Chinese workers "scabs" is erroneous. When the median wage in the USA was 40x that of the average Chinese person, in the Deng era, such outsourcing was inevitable. Deng did it from a position of strength, with the communist party staying in power, rather than from a position of weakness, after getting couped by the CIA. If he didn't do it, a more reactionary country like India would have soaked up those jobs instead. It was US currency hegemony as the world reserve currency which allowed the US to enjoy higher purchasing power even while printing money endlessly. That era is coming to an end. When class struggle reignites in the USA on a post-hegemonic basis, it will be a good thing.
>America is allowed to act as if Taiwan isn't China… it's just not allowed to say that Taiwan isn't China
How absurd. Do BRICS wussies really?
Meanwhile, you have Putin's top envoy Kirill Dmitriev on Twitter posting bloodlines showing why "Trump is the daddy of the Western world" and why he "walks like a king" - and posting literal Qanon dumps.
>>2619098There's a reason you have to dabble in a hypothetical. Don't get me wrong – China should do that but won't.
>>2619104The point of boiling a frog or salami slicing or whatever is incrementalism. It's not incrementalism when you do the same shit 50,000 times without pushing the envelope.
>>2617016any other anglos struggle to understand asian accents? i cant listen to people like Li Jingjing and even struggle with like KJ Noh or Ayushman and Jyotishman i need subtitles so i cant listen to hour long videos while i work
any trick to getting better at it? just listen more? i still do it anyway its just sometimes idk what they are saying and have to guess from the interviewees response
>>2620117But China IS incrementing. You are just pretending like China has always been doing drills just off the shores of Taiwan
>>2618756China has shown no appetite for killing the US markets, tho. If it's concerned about the arms deliveries to Taiwan, it should've leveraged the rare-earths move for that, but it didn't because the rare-earths move was designed to be walked back for the flimsiest of concessions.
Is China's demographic crisis real or westoid wishful thinking?
>>2620742It's as bad as other countries (except Korea and Japan)
>>2620381trump's sword was made in china
>>2620829It's literally nothing so far.
This is like a shoplifter being observed by two mall cops as he inches toward the exit but without actually leaving. It's not "boiling the frog" in any meaningful sense until the first millimeter of his little toe crosses the exit.
>>2620854 (me)
Or big toe for people who weren't radioactive babies like me.
>>2620381Somewhat accurate. China had all the economic cards and could have flattened the US economically, but it chose not to, and it's that choice that told the US everything it needed to know. The US wanted to know whether the Chinese leadership has a cut-throat mentality or is more like the Russian appeaser leadership.
>>2621058>man, China will make a move on Taiwan and kill the US economy!<well, China has shown no appetite for killing the US economy - look what happened this year>wowwww, you're complaining they didn't do something terrible? Make up your mind then.
>>2620873>China had all the cardsThat's a big premise to assume. I seriously doubt that ever was the case, and if you really believe that you're going to have to actually prove it before you use that supposed fact to draw further conclusions
>>2621062Consumer electronics are not a powerbase, though?
>>2620873You're not wrong tbh China doesn't have the same mentality as the early Soviets
>>2620873>Somewhat accurate. China had all the economic cards and could have flattened the US economicallyUS and EU crisis would hurt China. Imagine your main markets collapse.
>>2621071None of the BRICS countries will ever knowingly upset the US too much.
The only reason Russia launched its military operation against Ukraine is that it didn't think the US would invest much into it. Since discovering otherwise, Russian leadership has been groveling before the US, commiserating that Trump didn't get the Nobel, taking all kinds of abuse and insults like a punching bag, basically begging Trump to give them something they can sell to the Russian population.
China backed down from rare-earths export controls after getting the merest crumb of a concession from Trump, with many of the anti-China measures still in effect.
You're right - it's a mentality problem. Military and economic capability mean nothing without the mentality. Russia is a nuclear superpower with more advanced strategic weapons than what the US has, yet the Yanks are basically bragging in the NYT how they supply targeting data for attacks against Russian assets.
>>2621095Okay, here's the problem: How do we conclude from
(1) Military action against Taiwan would cause a US/EU economic crisis - a point often triumphantly made in this general, e.g.,
>>2618756<…and…(2) China doesn't want to cause a US/EU economic crisis - a point often defensively made in this general
<…that…(3) China is totally going to do something against Taiwan other than drills?
>>2621109>>2620873who said the PRC is totally going to do something in taiwan other than drills? the only two that suggest so are
>>2619098 (drills but over the taiwanese mainland) and
>>2619104 (more export controls). again, china can just wait it out as the taiwanese economy slumps and reunification with the mainland becomes more and more likely without the need for direct military intervention. part of the reason that the PRC hasn't wiped out the US economy is that it still needs the US and EU as a consumer base to stimulate industrial production. obviously the CPC realises this and has been trying to boost domestic consumption with managed deflation and poverty alleviation but it will still take years to move away from western consumer markets
>>2621122>china can just wait it out as the taiwanese economy slumps and reunification with the mainland becomes more and more likely without the need for direct military interventionWell, they're obviously somewhere less than 100% confident about this, otherwise they wouldn't need drills.
>>2621125 (me)
Anyway, my take is that the primary purpose of these drills is to spook the US (there can only be so many coincidences in the timing of the drills relative to China being loudly upset about something the US is doing, in this case the arms transfers to Taiwan). Yet if the US knows that China doesn't have the appetite to cause a US/EU economic crisis (which it learned this year), then the attempts to spook fail and the arms still get transferred. We'll see whether the US backs down, I guess.
>>2621125>>2621129reading the justifications given by the chinese themselves, this is more focused on actions by the gov in taiwan than the gov in the us, which makes sense given that the purpose of drills over the past several years has been to wear down the ROCAF and to erode the concept of "taiwanese sovereignty". the prc are obviously aware that a war over the taiwan straits, while unlikely, is still something they should prepare for, hence the drills.
>>2621255
>implied wholesomeness
no. This is neoliberal madness. Where are her carers? The state should be providing this, preferably live-in or on call.

>>2622052The US understands dominance plays and their second-order effects on world influence. That's why they've so easily peeled away countries like Panama from China and countries like Kazakhstan/Serbia/Armenia from Russia (even Belarus is cozying up to the US and releasing prisoners lol).
The US sends Pelosi to Taiwan as a dominance play. It sends weapons to Taiwan as a dominance play. It drops tariffs and other economic measures on China as a dominance play, and even if China retaliates, it's the proactive side that looks dominant, not the reactive side.
Likewise, the US feeds Ukraine ISR and weapons as a dominance play, fires its missiles (and likely its drones) into Russia and at Russian assets as a dominance play, makes Putin visit the US instead of the other way around as a dominance play, sanctions Russia as a dominance play, has Dmitriev visiting the US to kiss Trump's behind as a dominance play, etc.

Analysts warn the undefined controls on critical minerals could cost Japan's economy billions.
>https://globalimpulsemedia.com/chinas-bans-exports-of-military-use-items-to-japan-japans-military-modernization-destroyed/>The export controls target a wide range of goods, services, and technologies that have both civilian and military applications. According to a catalogue published by the ministry, this includes critical components such as rare earth elements, advanced electronics, aerospace and aviation components, drones, and nuclear-related technology. The ban explicitly prohibits the sale of these items to any Japanese military end-users or for any purpose that contributes to “enhancing Japan’s military strength”.
>This move is widely seen as a strategic blow to Japan’s military modernization efforts. Modern defense systems are heavily reliant on the very technologies now restricted by Beijing. For instance, rare earth elements are indispensable for a vast array of advanced weaponry, including the F-35 fighter jets that form a cornerstone of Japan’s air defense. By cutting off the supply of these critical materials, China is directly targeting the operational readiness and future development of the Japan Self-Defense Forces.Also:

All former sinopshere countries dream of nothing more then China to become their Rome, so that they can plunder the cultural corpse and other historical remains for themselves like the bastard children of Roma. That is why these countries are always neutral at best or side with western powers against China. Even socialist countries do this.

They have nothing to do with immigration but it seems like they're annoying and everybody hates them. Thought some of this was pretty funny.
>Chengguan (城管; 'Urban management', short for 城市管理执法; Urban Management and Law Enforcement) is an administrative practice of city-level local governments in the People's Republic of China to oversee and manage city appearance and public environments according to the region's bylaws.<Chengguan often also clash with standard police who respond to Chengguan brutality reports.>The public widely dislike the Chengguan due to their abuses of power, as highlighted in their involvement in several high-profile cases.<Time magazine reported that beatings by Chengguan employees have become such commonplace news that "'Chengguan' has even taken on an alternate meaning in Chinese. 'Don't be too Chengguan' is an appeal not to bully or terrorize".>"The Chengguan is coming!", a phrase often shouted out by illegal street vendors to warn others to run away in case of a Chengguan inspection, has become a famous Chinese Internet punch line.<There are also satirical jokes of the Chengguan actually being China's secret strategic reserves, the "fifth branch of the PLA", because of their capability to cause "mass destruction". Punch lines such as "Give me 300 Chengguan, I will conquer…" and "China has pledged not to be the first to use Chengguan at any time or under any circumstances in order to keep world peace and stability" have gone viral among Chinese netizens.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chengguan_(agency)I don't think they're actually anything like ICE, just thought it was amusing.
>>2637348>There has to be some kind of kinship mechanism between colonial powersThere is, I’ve frequently seen Nazis justify their anime-derived japanophilia because “Hitler said they were honorary aryans in WW2” or “their culture values honor” or in the case of many Latin American far-righters for whatever reason, just going mask off and saying “being imperialist and committing genocide is based”

And on foreign policy, you could probably extract any answer on any subject from a median voter pretty much anywhere. You seem to be keen on confirming some proletarian nation oppressed nation dichotomy, citing some colonialist kinship, but the reality is just that Japan is the United States' dog and its current rulers wish to keep it that way so they confront China like their masters do.

And yet here you're again defending Nippon's honor by diverting to the US. Just because the Japanese are absolute pathethic cucks doesn't excuse their behaviour.

>>2638906For whatever reason it's widely considered acceptable when restaurants and places in Japan have signs like "no foreigners, no Chinese, no Koreans", even though if signs anywhere else said "no blacks" for example, there would be near universal outrage.

Perhaps they have other stuff purchased after the 12 day war that hasn't been revealed considering how opaque the Chinese military is.

Truman Show Delusion
The Truman Show Delusion is a type of monothematic delusion in which an individual believes their life is a staged reality for the entertainment of others, likening their existence to the 1998 film The Truman Show. First identified by brothers Joel and Ian Gold, psychiatrists at McGill University, the delusion is characterized by a pervasive, unshakable conviction that one's surroundings, relationships, and daily events are elaborately fabricated by hidden directors, often with oneself as the unwitting central character.
While primarily studied as a clinical psychiatric phenomenon, the conceptual framework has been used metaphorically by historians and cultural critics to analyze certain paranoid belief systems held by Western observers in authoritarian states, particularly during the Cold War in communist countries. A notable example is the belief among some tourists, diplomats, and journalists that entire portions of communist societies—including cities, shops, and public events—were meticulously staged Potemkin villages populated by paid actors, designed solely to deceive foreigners about the success and popularity of the communist system.
Characteristics and Symptoms
In its clinical form, individuals with Truman Show Delusion report:
A belief that they are under constant surveillance via hidden cameras.
Conviction that friends, family, and strangers are "actors" following a script.
Perception that mundane events contain coded messages or are staged for their benefit.
A quest to find the "truth" and expose the artifice.
The non-clinical, historical manifestation shares the core structure of a vast, coordinated deception perpetrated by an unseen, powerful director (the state) involving a cast of thousands performing in a fabricated reality.
Historical Manifestations: The "Communist Truman Show"
During the Cold War, particularly from the 1950s through the 1980s, some Western visitors to the Soviet Union, East Germany, China, North Korea, and other Eastern Bloc nations developed beliefs that scholars have retrospectively likened to a societal-scale Truman Show Delusion. These beliefs were fueled by the genuine secrecy, propaganda, and occasional staged displays common in these regimes, but often escalated into elaborate conspiracy theories.
Key facets of this belief system included:
The Staged City: The conviction that certain model cities or districts (like East Berlin's showcase areas or Pyongyang) were entirely populated by carefully vetted, loyal citizens or outright actors. It was believed these individuals performed an idealized version of communist life—always cheerful, well-dressed, and prosperous—whenever foreigners were present, returning to a grim reality once the tourists departed.
The Fake Marketplace: During periods of economic shortage or famine (e.g., the Soviet shortages of the 1980s or the Great Leap Forward in China), a common belief was that well-stocked shops were mere facades. Shelves were purportedly filled with empty boxes, fake goods, or a single supply of items that would be rushed from store to store ahead of tourist buses to create an illusion of plenty and hide widespread deprivation.
Scripted Encounters: Many tourists believed that all their interactions were monitored and that the "ordinary citizens" they were allowed to meet—students, workers, "random" pedestrians—were in fact intelligence agents or actors trained to deliver positive testimonials about the regime and parrot party slogans. Spontaneous conversations were viewed as impossible.
The Grand Purpose: The ultimate goal of this perceived deception was not entertainment, as in the clinical delusion, but political warfare. The purpose was to convince the West that communism was a viable, successful, and popular system, thereby weakening Western resolve, encouraging leftist movements abroad, and legitimizing the ruling regime.
Analysis and Interpretation
Historians and psychologists analyze this phenomenon through multiple lenses:
Cognitive Dissonance: For some deeply anti-communist visitors, encountering clean streets, orderly crowds, or apparently content citizens created a conflict with their pre-existing belief that such societies were universally miserable and failing. Psychologist Carol Tavris suggests that rather than adjust their worldview, some resolved this dissonance by concluding the entire scene was an elaborate fraud, preserving their original ideology intact.
Cultural Projection: Historian Stephen Kotkin argues that these beliefs sometimes reflected a Western-centric inability to comprehend the complex, albeit flawed, social contract within these societies. The idea that citizens might have nationalist pride, genuine social mobility, or a adapted form of resilience was discounted in favor of a simpler narrative of totalitarian trickery.
The "Potemkin Village" Trope: The belief draws direct power from the historical legend of Grigory Potemkin erecting fake villages to impress Catherine the Great. This story, though likely exaggerated, became a powerful archetype in Western thought, providing a ready-made framework for interpreting experiences in closed societies.
Criticism of the Comparison
Some academics, such as anthropologist Katherine Verdery, caution against over-applying the psychological label. They argue that while beliefs in wholesale fabrication were sometimes extreme, they were not delusional in a clinical sense, but rather rational—if exaggerated—responses to genuinely manipulative and coercive states where the line between reality and performance was often intentionally blurred (e.g., in the Stasi-infiltrated society of East Germany depicted in the film The Lives of Others).

>>2641743Lmao, there's more to this delusion - wehraboo historians (i.e. default historians) love to imagine German losses as lower than they actually were. In part, it materializes in pretending that He-113 plane didn't even exist!
>At the end of 1939, World War II began, but twelve Heinkel He 100 prototypes were still in the Heinkel factory near Rostock in northern Germany. The time has come for them to play their part in the play prepared by Goebbels. The fighters were painted with fictitious squadron markings and photographed with Heinkel technicians posing as Luftwaffe pilots and ground personnel. Some Heinkels were even repainted between individual photo shoots to give the impression that there were more than twelve planes. The photos were then published in the magazine Der Adler, and it was claimed that the pictures were taken at the Danish airport after their fighters took part in combat operations in Denmark and Norway. One of the planes was even designated as a night fighter variant.
>It is not entirely clear what the exact purpose of this propaganda was, but it can definitely be said that the Royal Air Force believed in the deception. The British Ministry of Aviation has included the Heinkel He 113 in its German aircraft recognition tables, noting the fighter's maximum speed of 627 km/h. A secret Royal Air Force intelligence report published in 1940 stated that the new fighter was in production and that it was equipped with at least one advanced Luftwaffe squadron. In May 1940, a photograph of the He 113 appeared in the respected British aviation magazine The Airplane, where it was presented as a modern German fighter.
>Although no Heinkel He 100/113 was ever used in combat, Allied pilots continued to report encounters with these aircraft throughout the war. It is believed that these were mostly just incorrect definitions of later Bf 109 models, but it was only after the end of the war that it was finally confirmed that the Nazi super fighter was nothing more than a propaganda myth. >>2641314Not even anti-china people buy the dumb claims in the first screenshot anymore.

>>2645061But at what cost?
>>2646635Chinese investment is done to provide options for development for poor countries in ways that ensure the recipient country maintains a >50% share, doesn't need to restructure their government, etc. It is literally the internationalism that you anti-campists clamor for incessantly.

>>2646635The reason China has the largest banks is because they're state-owned and the state ensures they overwhelmingly dominate the banking sector.

>>2646747People who know nothing about China bring up the unemployment because they don't know it's case of suffering from success. The majority of the youth are college educated, and there aren't enough white-collar jobs for them, so many of them choose to be unemployed rather than pick up blue-collar jobs - which clearly shows that they are in a good financial situation if they have the luxury of staying at home unemployed and doing nothing because they're picky about their jobs. Notice how most of the countries around China in that ranking are countries generally considered to have the best social safety nets and standards of living like Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Canada, Ireland, Finland, etc.
Someone on the phone was nagging me about Uyghers, was this a thing, and is it still a thing? My understanding before was that this was basically within the context of the global war on terror, and the one child policy. This mainly took the form of "re-education" of a million people. China fell for the racism against muslims too, and even though they didn't kill many people they did torture (I can't find figures anywhere on how many) and kill around 150 people (very low considering a million people were interned). Any guidance would be appreciated.
Guangzhuo more like Gayzhuo
>>2647285Guizhou is so much closer to Gayzhou. can't believe you missed it
>>2647281From what I understand it was essentially mandatory night school with classes about trades, Mandarin, and anti-extremism(probably something akin to anti-hate classes but targeting salafist Islam instead of neo-Nazism) hence the name "vocational education and training centers".
>Beginning in 2017, local media outlets generally referred to the facilities as "counter-extremism training centers" (去极端化培训班) and "education and transformation training centers" (教育转化培训中心).>Most of those facilities were converted from existing schools or other official buildings, although some of them were purpose-built.Not exactly "camps" as claimed by the MSM since schools aren't very suitable for long-term habitation.
As for the 150 people killed, it probably happened but they were probably also IS members involved in terrorist attacks, as I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them received the death sentence. I don't see why torture would be needed though, it doesn't produce reliable information, better to just look at all of their associates to find other members of the IS cells which I believe is how many high-risk Uyghurs were identified for re-education or incarceration.
>>2647300But Guangzhou is actually known for being LGBT friendly and flying pride flags everywhere
>>2647319>I don't see why torture would be needed though, it doesn't produce reliable information.I don't think this is a reason that it wouldn't be done though. I'm not trying to use hypocrisy to deflect from moral criticism but the Americans have tortured even though that torture gives unreliable information is fairly well known. The only thing that encouraged me is that the deaths figure was so low, and that there's no real available estimates in itself is somewhat encouraging.
I am curious is it still ongoing? Sorry if this is ancient and tired news.
>>2647360Americans torture because they have a culture of sadism, Chinese got that out of their system by the end of the GCPR
>>2647360>>2647380they do it for the same reason as forced disappearance. its state terror and it works great for its intended effect.
>>2647360I think according to official CPC statements it ended in 2019 or so. Ofc MSM says it’s still ongoing, they claim that the Uyghurs were just moved from the “camps” into the prison system and are now doing penal labor, once again this is probably just IS-affiliate terrorists still in prison for obvious reasons.
>>2647440But it’s not like they admit to torture, unlike the CIA where the Bush administration openly legalized “enhanced interrogation” to them. Chinese law technically bans torture of prisoners, so all the torture claims come from Western media which is blocked by the firewall in China. How would it be an effective terror tactic if no one actually knows they tortured Uyghur prisoners?
>>2647553oh i thought we were talking about america
I for one can't wait for fully automated luxury communism with Chinese characteristics
>>2647197There is no unemployment in Communist China. You already cucked out by ceding inches of ground by saying such lie. He cites worthless, faked unemployment statistics. Communist China has no reserve army of labor. Communist China has no unemployment. You make mistake by comparing Communist China to imperialist europe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_unemployment_rate>This is a list of countries by unemployment rate. Methods of calculation and presentation of unemployment rate vary from country to country. Some countries count insured unemployed only, some count those in receipt of welfare benefit only, some count the disabled and other permanently unemployable people, some countries count those who choose (and are financially able) not to work, supported by their spouses and caring for a family, some count students at college and so on. There may also be differences in the minimum requirements and some consider people employed even if only marginally associated with employment market (for example, working only one hour per week).His bourgeois methodology is unscientific and inapplicable therefore you have been duped into accepting bourgeois lies that China has unemployment.

>>2647551Okay thank you. I think ultimately I'm going to stick with the concretes: taking the position then that there's insufficient data on the amount of torture that was going on, that there's 150 dead, and most significantly there have been one million or more people put into re-education camps for a time, but that this is largely over. This is from my view obviously bad, racist, etc. It doesn't really change any political position of mine. Once again sorry for dredging up this tired story.
How Trump is making China great again—and what it means for Europe
https://ecfr.eu/publication/how-trump-is-making-china-great-again-and-what-it-means-for-europe/Summary
Around the world, many people expect China’s—already considerable—global influence to grow over the next decade, and more now view Beijing as an ally or necessary partner.
For much of the world, America is globally influential and will continue to matter, but few people expect it to gain in influence.
In most countries, expectations of Trump are lower than 12 months ago. His first year back in power seems to have caused dramatic shifts of opinion in some places, including India and South Africa.
In Russia, more people now see Europe as an adversary, while views of America have softened. In China, the EU is held to be a power player that strikes its own stances distinct from those of America.
Europeans are the world’s chief pessimists. They lack faith in the EU’s ability to deal on equal terms with the US or China and worry about Russian aggression and nuclear weapons.
European leaders should share greater honesty about where Europe stands in this post-Western, “China first” world in order to devise a successful strategy to navigate it.
Long write up
>>2648044Dude, they targeted Uyghurs with the purpose of giving them jobs, which required some certain level of education. They also added anti-extremist education into the mix, because why the fuck not, potential terrorist recruits need to see the bloodshed and destruction terrorists were doing
Judging by how Uyghur shops are everywhere in Chinese cities right now, education was successful enough to make Uyghurs competitive on Chinese level.
>>2648044The purpose of teaching trades and Mandarin was to improve the Uyghurs' economic status as richer people with more to lose are less inclined to launch suicidal terrorist attacks. Teaching anti-extremism is also a good idea because, well, if multiple terrorists in an attack went to the same mosque, it's probably a good idea to check out the people at that mosque for salafist ideology and show them some anti-Islamist propaganda.
>>2649093>>2649038"Combatting extremism" was the ONLY choice because ISIS started creeping into the muslim inhabited Chinese territories with US support, which before recognized these cells as "terrorists" and re-defined them as poor heckin oppressed peoples. IIRC it happened during the first Trump presidency.

"I think the author is trying to project China into becoming a new USSR, which China is not and will not. To be fair, I also pinned my hopes on China stepping up when the Ukraine war started, but over the years, it’s clear that this is not going to be the case.
So, in this sense, China is not waiting nor is it losing. In fact, I think China’s been playing its cards very competently against Trump’s trade war aggressions. There is only disappointment if one thinks this will lead to a new global order that will benefit the Global South. The opposite is happening, with China dumping its surplus industrial goods on the other countries, especially the EU, forcing them into running worsening trade deficits to protect China’s own domestic export industries.
In other words, China is exporting unemployment in a world where there is a surplus of productive capacity while the global demand for consumption is dwindling.
Furthermore, China standing up against the US would mean their trillions and trillions of accumulated US dollars would be turned worthless. Despite frantic purchase of gold, it still only constitutes a tiny fraction of China’s vast foreign reserves. The ruling class and the bourgeois elites would not want to see their wealth evaporates, so even the most revolutionary leaders would still have to confront heavy obstacles when trying to touch the elites’ interests.
This may seem like a contradiction but it is by design - the US de-industrializes itself and runs a perpetual trade deficit, while you get all the benefits of industrialization and GDP, yet you will find yourself entrenched so deeply into the system we designed that getting out of the rut becomes increasingly difficult by the day.
The only way out, as I have always pointed out, is for China to abandon the neoliberal ideology, a system that it has greatly benefited from for at least 30 years. And to be clear, China isn’t the only one playing this game. Before that, South Korea and Taiwan were the winners who took advantage of the early GATT (now known as WTO) arrangements to benefit from running trade surplus, and before them, Japan in the 1960s (under the Bretton Woods era).
Everyone is playing this neoliberal game, hoping that they too, can one day be a winner like China, South Korea, Japan etc. This is why Trump’s global tariffs, while seem like nightmares for some, also presented (the illusion of) opportunities for others. Everyone is secretly hoping that Trump would break up an entrenched system where upward mobility has now become stifled for most low/middle income developing countries, that somehow, with the ongoing US-China trade war, they could exploit the opening to become the next rising exporter country. Meanwhile, China’s maneuvers are all about preventing exactly that from happening, so the US will continue to rely on China.
That’s the true logic behind Trump’s trade war. It keeps the Global South disorganized and in competition with one another, while the US reaps and extracts from their bickering. Behind this is the “promise” of a collapsing order and where one can climb that ladder under chaos, only to fall into the designs of the imperialists. Laugh at the European vassals all you want, but at least they have class solidarity and understand well enough some of them will have to sacrifice themselves to preserve the system for the bourgeoisie to keep the treats flowing, like worker drones sacrificing for the queen to protect the colony under distress."
What do you guys think of this?
>>2655387What I think you need to understand is that the US views the rest of the world as if the rest of the world is like it, which is to say, groups of irrational social-darwinist power worshipers. Even people with genuine leftist political views fall into this trap. I was watching Socialism for All a guy who, for his faults (he's a dogmatic follower of Lenini/Stalin-era USSR Marxism-Leninism, to the point where it boarders on Hoxhaism, while also allowing himself to get distracted by radlib idpol), generally knows what he's talking about in terms of theory. But his views on modern China are so heavily based in Western zero-sum game thinking that he comes to the nonsensical conclusion that Deng and Xi recreated capitalism in China and want to pursue global hegemony like the US does
usa boutta finna annex canada and expropriate all chinese owned assets
>>2656195>boutta finnawe need an immediate moratorium on AAVE use by non-black people
>>2656142Perhaps this would be true if one did not take into account the military side of things. If you’ve followed the military developments of either side, China and the US are already in a new Cold War arms race, and US officials and elites, like Palmer Luckey, are quite openly talking about preparing for direct open warfare against China. Because China, being the industrial exporter country, naturally has a massive logistical military advantage over the US - and in a couple decades a technological one as well, if Chinese innovation keeps ramping up and US engineering keeps declining. If the US does not confront China, both militarily and in every other area, what’s stopping Chinese CPC elites from seizing Taiwan and hegemony over Asia, which would allow them to effortlessly outmuscle the US economy? This is not to mention efforts to build alternative parallel systems for the world economy like BRICS, which explicitly exists to bypass and undermine the US dollar, and could lead to the dollar slowly being phased out of China over time even if no kinetic conflict occurs.
There will ultimately have to be a decoupling, which the recent trade wars are a sign of moving towards, because there is no other way the US can stop China from toppling its position as world hegemon. The whole dollar/military hegemony thing is a very fragile structure. If one of those is lost, the other will soon follow, and then America collapses entirely in a similar fashion to the USSR. China is threatening America on both those fronts at the same time.
As such they are right now both engaging in 5th generation warfare against each other - direct economic trade wars with tariffs and restrictions, maneuvering for dominance on the geopolitical stage with allies and trade partners, cyber attacks, media PR wars to make Americans unwilling to see China as an enemy or to encourage Chinese to become traitors. All of these are advantages to be seized to decide the outcome of open warfare before it begins. Whether it does ever actually begin, like it never did between the US and USSR, depends on if either side is reckless enough to take the risk, or if one side gains a clear enough advantage for certain victory(most likely China in 10-20 years based on trends).
>>2656737>and in a couple decades a technological one as wellUSA STILL doesn't have hypersonic missiles, though. What technological supremacy are you talking about? Hell, even in Ukraine against Russia's tech it's struggling and unable to stop Russia
>>2656739Hypersonics is where China already holds the advantage, but they are still behind in other areas like submarines. Though I am also mainly talking about civilian tech, like closing the AI gap, developing their own firmware and computer OS, EUV machines and mass production of 2nm semiconductors to outcompete TSMC, domestic passenger jets, etc. etc. Then, combined with military advantages like serial production of 6th gen fighters, China can secure a clear victory in a war against a jingoistic United States that refuses to accept the loss of hegemony, or else force a more rational US to back down without a fight, either way dealing a huge blow to the legitimacy and stability of the US-dominated global system and essentially seizing the premier position in the world.
>>2656744China will wait out USA to bankrupt itself and, worst case, buy out the tech, best case develop their own alongside their productive sector.
Thing is, AI and shit are on the expenses side of the balance sheet, not income side. China has massively positive trade balance and population getting richer every year precisely because China is focusing on productive side of the economy, while USA is sinking deeper because USA is parasitism-maxxing and has to share the wealth more and more to accomodate increasing population with decreasing production. Basically, USA is experiencing USSR's agriculture crisis, but in the time when everything is so interconnected that there's no fear of empty shelves. While China is perfectly able to support it's population with wages alone with barely any redistribution policies (like USA during golden years after the war), USA has to redistribute wealth, because income side of the balance sheet is really fucking bad
And USA, btw, wants to fix this by selling more oil - i.e. replacing Russia as the gas station with nukes. And they want to save their economy by forcing it's goods down Europe's throat and also by twisting China's hands to start buying American oil and resources - mostly by eliminating competition, like in case with Venezuela or Iran and Russia.
>>2656747>And USA, btw, wants to fix this by selling more oil - i.e. replacing Russia as the gas station with nukes.Lol, are they trying to go for a softer version of the USSR collapse?
>twisting China's hands to start buying American oil and resourcesI can definitely see the current administration trying to do this, but this isn't feasible solely because of Russia, which they can't destroy.
>>2656981bro, the best thing you can do is block that x account.
>>2657268>internet subculturesIs there any kind of nationalist that doesn't exist in internet subcultures? I've even seen Tibetan nationalists vs Nepalese nationalists. They're just LARPers
>>2657268Why doesn't the Chinese government crack down on this? If it were up to me, every nationalist on the planet would be sent to a mandatory four year reduction camp.
>>2657386Because the CPC is not a petty anarchist club. Chinese nationalism is good and based, if you read about the Communist Party during the War against Japan their main rhetoric was nationalist in character. The main motivation of most fighters for the CPC both in the army and in production is nationalism, the dream of national rejuvenation. The Han Dynasty represents a sort of Golden Age of Chinese Culture and global prestige. Why shouldn't it be embraced by Communists?
>>2657441>if you read about the Communist Party during the War against Japan their main rhetoric was nationalist in character.Okay, but they're not at war with Japan anymore, are they? Material conditions change. They have no need for any form of nationalism at this point.
>Why shouldn't it be embraced by Communists?Nationalism means national chauvinism. It means thinking that you're the best and everyone else is a subhuman that deserves to be dominated by your superior culture. This is the way USAmerikkkans think. It is absolutely not something you want to engender within your own nation if you can help it.
>>2657470Firstly, the current PM of Japan has openly threatened invasion of China lot too long ago, and secondly nationalism is not something conditional on whether or not you're at war or not. Nationalism is about recognizing that the sovereignty of the state lies in the people as a whole.
>Nationalism means national chauvinism. Absolutely wrong. Nationalism is in fact a precursor to internationalism. In fact the great nationalist Mazzini was in the First International. Mao was very clear that not only Chinese Communists, but even Japanese Communists must be nationalists.
>>2657441>>2657561>trying to sell ethnic nationalism as anything left wingFuck off fed
this thread is from last year
>>2657572Can you give me any example of any actual left wing movement outside of the imperial centre that is not nationalist? Even the PKK that anarchoids love to glaze is literally a Kurdish nationalist movement. Nationalism is progressive compared to tribalism and sectarianism
>>2657572China is a multiethnic state and its modern nationalism is essentially a kind of civic nationalism rather than ethnic.
>>2657441>The Han Dynasty represents a sort of Golden Age of Chinese Culture and global prestige. Why shouldn't it be embraced by Communists?It should, infact communists should embrace feudalism and abandon communism and industry because times were so much more manly.
>>2657603I know anarchists who hate the PKK, Rojava, the EZLN and anything non-anarchist. Its just that most anarchoids are not anarchists, but rather natlib libs.
>>2657617China should be homogenous han atheist, if you want islam go to Pakistan, if you want folk tribal religion spiritual nonsense go to Burundi, if you want christianity go to Cuba.
Leave China alone. Do not be black or dark skinned in China.
>>2657386>>2657617the CPC views modern han nationalism (皇汉主义) as detrimental to society due to its ethic chauvinism. it isn't the same as the civic nationalism of the "chinese nation" that receives state support, since it focuses on promoting the han ethnicity at the expense of ethnic minorities in china, eg. by undoing affirmative action policies in education and by framing non-han chinese dynasties such as the yuan and qing as "un-chinese". even though china is largely ethnically homogenous, especially for a country its size, it isn't an ethnostate and shouldn't become one
there's a good article on this (in chinese) ironically written by a taiwanese researcher
https://www.guancha.cn/wuqina/2026_01_03_802573_2.shtml >>2654178https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7j6YQhPTQoMinus the propaganda speak, this video is good to start out. But I will ask you to read more papers than videos, because the majority of videos are "muh debt" or "muh nature".
The technology transfer that came with collaborating with Japanese, germans high speed train manufacturers, along with standardized manufacturing making it cheaper and faster to produce
>>2657692if China were "homogeneous han atheist" there would be massive unrest and successful secession movements in its autonomous provinces. But it's funny how you're basically saying it should be more like America. In America white supremacy crushed and genocided indigenous populations. But it was only able to do that because of the massive tech gap between the settlers and the indigenous, and because smallpox did most of the work of killing them off when the Spanish first arrived. So it's not the same situation at all. The Chinese have been realistic and pragmatic in their approach to minority nationalities, and they're clearly doing good without the advice either of the western ultras who say they are too "han supremacist" nor of the western "leninists" (LOL) who insist they aren't han supremacist and state atheist enough.
>>2657933China is homogenous han atheist and must kill uyghurs faster, it is state atheist and most atheist society. If they need my help I am ready to enlist in the PLA for free, only need food and water .
>>2657783>the CPC views modern han nationalism (皇汉主义) as detrimental to society due to its ethic chauvinismNah, CPC doesn't really do anything to oppose Han nationalism, expect briefly after some Japanese kids were stabbed in 2024.
