    China’s soft power push gains ground as entertainment exports surge

    I dont know what this big deal about kpop or anime is. I have never seen anyone here in my circle even mentioning it. I have actually seen some chinese films on netflix- one about space something. And i liked them. Korean movies are good too - the one or two i have seen . One is tiger...

    United Microelectronics Corp founder tells Taiwanese who are pro-China to go back to 'motherland'

    Odd that for somebody dedicated to "truth, goodness, and beauty" - does not even blink to issue the hate statement "go back to" for having an opinion.

    The Weakness of Xi Jinping - How Hubris and Paranoia Threaten China’s Future

    china may anyway have to extend retirement age for everyone considering the shortage of youth . The two term rule exists only in china and usa. I am surprised at everyone here saying economically china was very good pre-2012. Was there not like humongous pollution then ? and even a revolt of...

    The Weakness of Xi Jinping - How Hubris and Paranoia Threaten China’s Future

    Under Hu there was too much corruption and class conflict was coming to the fore. You might be one the newly wealthy class in china - so you wouldnt have minded. But yea the zero covid looks bad. whats the end game here ? someone told me china would stop it once they have enough supply of...

    SCMP: China’s yuan dilemma: Beijing ‘faces a choice’ between cutting rates and a weakening currency

    Aren't rentals already affordable compared to costs of owning ? The present acts of chinese govt are correct. Make sure house prices are stable as incomes keep increasing. This will keep more money in pockets of chinese who will spend leading to consumption led growth - which is what...

    China vs the US: who will win the chip war?

    it is ridiculous to say TSMC is nothing without suppliers. TSMC made many process innovations and have been brilliant at it. This entire industry is too deeply connected and intermeshed. I dont know how this de-coupling works.

    NASA Artemis 1, USA goes back to the Moon again

    Very good question. Artemis uses liquid h2 - a notoriously leaky fuel. You may ask why ? well the space shuttles - like discover and challenger - used them . And their launches were scrubbed often. When US decided to end space shuttle program - it put under threat jobs of thousands of...

    BREAKING: United Nations: Potential ‘crimes against humanity’ in China’s Xinjiang

    I doubt anyone believes these reports. If any decent man even had a quarter of a conviction these were true they would never be doing this level of business with china. Almost every corporate which pontificates on diversity/human rights is there in china.

    Street Interview of the Chinese Gen Z in southern Guangdong province: Would you go to the war if China needs you to fight for the reunification

    Really ? you seem pretty confident about describing china in opposite way of how they themselves would describe. I notice this a lot - call china capitalist to rationalize its economic achievements and simultaneously call china as communist to rationalize the animosity towards china. If china...

    My boyfriend told me he comes from a small town in China, so I went there and..

    African americans were entering cities . And riots against them or terrorizing them was no longer an option. So this is one reason to take some pain and move out. Second is the confluence of various industry - you have builders, auto manufacturers and mortgages - all coming together and...

    My boyfriend told me he comes from a small town in China, so I went there and..

    Yes ofcourse - now it is indeed the norm. The country is literally built around suburbs - with largish roads, huge parking spaces. And offices relocating to suburbs. Making it convenient to live there. I was talking about 50s when it started. I am betting they were at least quiet a few who...

    China unveils 620 km per hour bullet train, could be running in 2025

    Its not show off. You cannot compare convenience of bullet trains with aircraft - atleast in china. The bullet trains price dont change everyday - and they run at frequency of less than 30 mins. Moreover they have stops.

    Burger King's Impossible Whopper Smells And Looks Exactly Like The Beef One

    These foods are pure garbage in my opinion. First - they are not healthy. They have loads of fat/sodium etc. They may have lesser sat fat but that's just one parameter. They were not designed to be healthy. Second - their prime value is that they can mimic taste of meat. They still fall short...

    My boyfriend told me he comes from a small town in China, so I went there and..

    I would go a little easy on "people rejected" part. Most of the time people adjust to what policy makers have provided and then they become the norm. I really doubt people wanted to leave the cities where they are making a comfortable living and move to suburbs purely voluntarily. As i said...

    China - still has a lot of catching up to do with usa in road infrastructure, pipeline infrastructure, airport infrastructure. Even in rail - us has higher mileage - though i agree its mostly single track with no electrification.
