Jamie Dimon Says JPMorgan Is Likely to Outlast China’s Communist Party

No disrespect to JPMorgan (they are a good bank that was smarter than the rest during the financial crisis), but the history of the financial industry does show that companies like it tend to be bought out at some point in time. Nobody will ever have the ability to buy china.

Genesis undercuts A7s tremendously on price point and yet with superior interiors.

I do believe there's a reason China is promoting masculinity. You don't want to head into a superpower conflict with effeminate looking men and a culture predicated on singers and dancers

I would say Genesis looks more like a RS than an A or S Audi ;)

They should just ban kpop and Korean TV series with all their lousy influences.

What's up with these Korean tv series? It seems a lot of their story lines are very violent and scary.
They are crazy as hell right now given that most of there horror movie stuff is literally terrifying although I must admit that some of the western stuff is worse due to how causally they throw in the rape stuff there. At least Korean films focus a lot on the atmosphere when it comes to horror while western films throw in a lot of sexual violence and gore in there. Hence why I much prefer to watch Chinese films and content nowadays because at least those films have a more positive and uplifting message and ultimately reflects a great due in regards to how China must be feeling in regards to the future while Korea and Japanese films seem to be becoming more and more bleak, kind of like how the west is now becoming. If in the future that China ends up the dominating force in the world that can bring hope for the world and be the ones to advance technology to the point where this world can finally move into the future, I can see that happening because China's message is all about that while from what I can see, the west (and any nation following them nowadays) seem to be all about dystopia and despair. Hence why I believe that China can change this world for the better because the people are actively encouraged to be better (sure their are some hiccups along the way) while the west is doomed to fall because of things like this

I think many have misconception on the Soft Power, and put too much importance on that idea. Perhaps being misled by some authors/thinkers in the West or the MSM keep on singing the Soft Power lullaby to soften the cruel realities of the Hard Power!

I will ask frankly every one here, what will you think of the US Soft Power and its influences supposed the United States has NO military bases outside its own territory and has NO the eleven CVBG. It can still keep all the military muscles minus the CVBG at home but the the outcome will be much different. Will you still believe in such Soft Power? I basically believe that the Soft Power means in limited ways if it is not being backed by overwhelming Hard Power!

Just think, how much the Soft Power of the former greatest empire on earth, Britain, has compared to the United States today? And what makes the differences between the two Anglo entities?
Just to clear things up, I am not white worshiper. It is just happen that I know only Joseph Nye is the one who try to categorize types of power (hard power and soft power) and the combination of those is called smart power (I already link his article from nature before). I would consider Joseph Nye quite China friendly, if you search and read through many of his articles regarding China. He is a professor from Harvard University, a university that President Xi's daughter also attended. Eric Li, founder of guancha.cn, also frequently refer to Joseph Nye.

What we discussed and have differences is which one considered as hard/soft power, we can just agree to disagree.
