It's naïve how some Chinese think if Westerners just got to know Chinese, they would like them like they were mistaken. The West doesn't control the world's resources despite their claims that they need no one while the world needs them. They have to compete with China to get them and Western countries complain how they can't compete with China for those resources because China is willing to pay more for them. I've mention before in here how the most aggressive countries of invasion in history happen to have little natural resources of their own. It's no coincidence. What we're seeing in the world the West is being forced geopolitically back to their own "borders" because they can't compete with China but also the world is showing some independent thinking because there's is an alternative to the West in China. Prince William and Kate's recent trip to the Caribbean to shore up the Commonwealth turned out to be a disaster with multiple countries openly holding the British Crown responsible for their evils of the past. The US bragging about their energy independence with their own resources isn't enough to fuel Europe which Putin's war exposes. The West decolonized during the Cold War for fear what happened with China kicking out the colonialists was going to happen in other colonies. Their fear of China's Belt and Road is all because it was giving countries the West discarded as unimportant to their self-interests the attention the West never gave. In the Western mindset, they're being forced back to the insecurity of no resources of the own before colonialism. Contrary to how they believe the world will naturally favor them, if that were true they wouldn't be worried about China. In the world they want, they're going to get those resources on the cheap because that's what would happen if there was no competition for those resources from China. Now what country would want to make less money for their resources than to choose China? The only way the West will like the Chinese is if the Chinese weren't competition to them and knew their place below them. That's why it will never happen meaning the West will see China as their adversary forever.

I've been meaning to ask for a while now.
For these long form posts, can you put in some paragraph breaks, so they're easier to read?

The closest thing to Wechat in the west I can think of is Facebook in the early 2010s, but they discontinued a lot of features and stopped adding anything new. Google has a better chance at inventing something similar to Wechat if they decide to create a social media app the next day, since they already have apps with similar features to Wechat, so all they have to do is to knit together all the functions into that one superapp.

If I were to decide which company gets to make a Western Wechat, I would like Elon Musk's to succeed, because I don't want those monopolist tech companies to gain even more power.

About fuckking time... other Chinese airlines need to follow.

Boeing’s biggest airline customer in China has removed more than 100 of the US manufacturer’s 737 MAX jets from its fleet plans, citing uncertainty over deliveries.

’ chairman Ma Xulun said at an investor briefing last week that Boeing’s updated bestselling aircraft would be excluded from fleet deliveries through 2024. The carrier expects to take delivery of 78 aircraft in total over the period, down from 181 in a previous forecast in March.

An investor relations representative for the airline said Friday the Max wasn’t included due to “uncertainty surrounding the delivery,” without providing further details.
