>The superior Chinese respect its people
lol no. There's no respect for the Chinese for one another. They're just not savvy enough to do big financial scams like the westerners do, because they don't have the same deep understanding of capitalism. It's literally the Badman meme "you were merely raised in darkness, I was born in it, molded by it". It's the same shit. Western sociopaths were born in capitalism and learn the system more deeply, and are able to pull of far greater shit.

Covid was a Chinese scam. The largest financial scam ever created. Shut up, dummy.

Covid was Chinese, yes. Not a scam, as in the virus is real. Not entirely sure how deliberate it was.
It was potentially an attempt at a bio-weapon that they accidentally released on themselves, which they then allowed to spread to the world, because it was the only remaining way they could make use of what they created. There is circumstantial evidence that it started up months before we became aware of it. So they used censorship to keep it hidden from the world as long as possible, to ensure the virus spread outside of China.

Given I personally helped plann the attack, I assure you, the 3.1 trillion dollar wealth transfer from plebs was deliberate.

Consider yourself registered on the harassment ledger for Chinese troll farms. (Don't really, this is a shitpost.)

Tiananmen Square, June 4th, 1989.

I do love it that you don't even need to try to describe to a Chinese person what happened in that day. You just say the date, location, and maybe post a picture of a random tank, and they'll disappear.

@alyx @p @lanodan @hj @Hoss @gentoobro @mangeurdenuage

That's like saying because IBM helped create the catalog system the Nazis used, they're still under the same regime. China is not the same China that existed then.

@ProfessionalPetFoodTaster @p @lanodan @hj @Hoss @gentoobro @mangeurdenuage
Oh no, it is. They censor more than they ever did. They use more propaganda on its own population that they spread externally. They still take political prisoners. They still torture. Use dissidents for organ harvesting. They don't roll out the tanks because they haven't had a need to. But they still beat up any small protest that might appear. And they do happen from time to time.
And Xi is slowly reintroducing Mao's ideology and way of doing things. So it's only gonna get worse. He's been getting rid of anyone opposing him from the party. Replacing military generals with loyal ones.

@ProfessionalPetFoodTaster @p @lanodan @hj @Hoss @gentoobro @mangeurdenuage
If you mean China, on the contrary. China is comprised entirely of the weak. The population is weak to rise up, and Xi is weak because he needs to rule as a dictator for anyone to follow him.

@alyx @p @lanodan @hj @Hoss @gentoobro @mangeurdenuage

Yes, long term country goals require long term leadership. Dictatorships are excellent at that.
@alyx @ProfessionalPetFoodTaster @p @lanodan @hj @Hoss @gentoobro @mangeurdenuage China is shit, yes, but it has nothing to do with the form of government and everything to do with genetics. They are a mongrelized race that might as well be insectoids with how they behave.

@WhitestTemplar @p @lanodan @hj @gentoobro @Hoss @ProfessionalPetFoodTaster @mangeurdenuage
Lol, no. It's government fucking them for almost a century, first and foremost. Taiwan has the exact same genetics, and they're doing damn well for themselves.
Could Taiwan be even richer? Sure. But with a small island, and limited resources at their disposal, they've done very well.

@alyx @p @lanodan @hj @gentoobro @Hoss @ProfessionalPetFoodTaster @mangeurdenuage Bro, China is wealthy too and is doing well for themselves. You have proven nothing. In both cases it won't last and the next regime will rewrite their history as they have done for centuries.

@WhitestTemplar @p @lanodan @hj @gentoobro @Hoss @ProfessionalPetFoodTaster @mangeurdenuage
No, the country isn't wealthy either. It maintains an outside image of wealth due to propaganda. So congrats! You're in a very exclusive club of select few people who believe Chinese state propaganda! How do you feel to be given this honor?

@alyx @p @lanodan @hj @gentoobro @Hoss @ProfessionalPetFoodTaster @mangeurdenuage Bro, calling something propaganda isn't an argument in itself. China has been trading for decades now with the US and the west, there is no way they haven't been storing up value, certainly more value than Taiwan has by a factor of several thousand if not more.

Unbounded growth doesn't exist: China's out of its exponential growth phase, and that's been the promise they lived under since the 70s. Xi is doing the Chinese equivalent of wrapping himself in the flag, because he knows the plateau is going to be rough internally.

@p @lanodan @hj @Hoss @ProfessionalPetFoodTaster @gentoobro @mangeurdenuage
It's hard to know for sure what's going on in China, but they're likely at the plateau already, if not in a recession. Every statistic imaginable that comes out of China is a lie. So it's unlikely that they have any real economic growth (even ignoring the USA tariffs).
There are even estimates that they don't actually have 1 billion people. And since they know have a worse birthrate than the west, they're actually headed for one of the worst population collapses in the world, on top of all the other problems they have.
China is gonna be entertaining to watch in a few decades time. For now, they're still cooking.

@alyx @lanodan @hj @Hoss @ProfessionalPetFoodTaster @gentoobro @mangeurdenuage

> they're likely at the plateau already,

Yeah. The thinking is that they are there or they are going to be there shortly, Xi consolidated power because he doesn't want to deal with party politics while landing the thing.
