\Slavery is a tech advantage ? i dont think so. There is a reason why cotton was called King Cotton and White Gold then.

it will be a tragedy for humanity if a country of size and success as china refuses to share it and provide leadership to rest of world. It need not be exactly the way others did but it has to be in some way. And i dont think China will even be a super power - it most likely will implode if it...

Indians always managed to extract some benefits in a multi polar world. Previously it was US - Soviet rivalry. Now it is us chinese. They need to thank china for their image in west. if not for china us wouldnt care a fig leaf for india. Not only us even japanese racism against china because...

This, in my opinion, will eventually be the main challenge for Chinese to take the world stage. Will they have the cultural confidence to engage the world or go in to a nationalistic shell scared of foreigners and rationalizing that fear with racism and other crap like japanese do. Right now I...

Actually this reformation is the backbone of industrialization in lots of places. The approaches are different but end results are same. In west - it started with Protestant reformation which questioned the authority of Pope and priests on people. Cromwell ended elite latin liturgy in Churches...

I really doubt one can ascribe the success to Confucian system. Confucian system was there for like 1000s of years. Most of the achievements of these contries - though incredible- are only there in last few decades. I think its good old social reform - land reforms, removal of birth based...

"some" appeal - thats an understatement dont you think ?

Arts and socials are very important. These are the fields which decide what is good for society and what is bad and what is acceptable and what is not. If you neglect this field then others will set trends for you.

I asked about western values - especially pre 1939. Your answer is "look over to Russia now". Russia - Ukraine war must end - no doubt about that. No decent person supports war. but framing Russia - Ukraine war as a war over western values is one of the key reasons why this enimity is so...

what are western values you keep parroting as if they are some eternal values that came from outer space? Before 1945 each western nation was at the throat of another in addition to being at throat of vast majority of asian and african countries who did nothing to west. in US Benjamin...

The Europe that you currently have - where hyper nationalists are not routinely murdering each other with one war or other (first world war, second world war and so many intermediary wars) or developing racist theories against the world or within europeans themselves - is largely built on...

Nice cherry picked countries like india which are known for meaningless antipathy to china. BTW why not the ask the same countries what they think of Russia - Ukraine war and give it the same publicity.

I wasnt aware Musk had a hair transplant

What i find suprising is that Tesla sells the same model for almost $7k cheaper in china than us.

British are extraoridnarily shameless scum to write about their colonies. No apology ever - they are actually proud of their racism and exploitation. Souless exploitative ghouls these monarchists are.
