Bro excellent analysis, so major take away, do the opposite of the US and you won.Yes. As many on this forum have noted, China has been playing it out for its true intended audience: developing countries that make up the world's silent majority. Their invisible supporters across the globe build like rising water until the dam breaks. This style of overthrowing the tyrant has roots in Chinese history. It also seems to resemble a revolution of the proletariat.
Some patterns I've noticed:
- Brokering peace between the Saudis and Iranians, China wins the regard of the Muslim world. Then allowing MBS take the limelight to make peace with the Yemenis, Syrians, thereby letting him shine as a great regional peace maker / statesman.
- Being a pillar in BRICS, setting up the NDB, then having Dilma Rouseff to head that bank. China wins the regard of Latin America.
- Building and funding the African Union HQs, African Development Fund and African Development Bank, then allowing the African Union to run them. China wins the regard of Africa.
Major Chinese marketing agency BlueFocus said it will “indefinitely” end hiring of third-party human copywriters and designers, and instead embrace ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
It would immediately cut certain outsourcing expenses, including creative design, copywriting and short-term contractors “to fully embrace generative AI”, according to an internal email verified by an employee.
BlueFocus said it has engaged with Chinese ChatGPT alternatives, including Baidu’s Ernie Bot, which will be used in virtual character building and other digital marketing work. The company has also applied for access to Alibaba Group Holding’s Tongyi Qianwen AI chatbot, on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, China’s internet watchdog rules to rein in the rapid development of generative AI, asking developers to pass a security assessment before releasing products to the public.
In the linked survey on “satisfaction” all but one of the listed politicians (covering the entire party spectrum) are net negative, many of them heavily. Baerbock gets 42+/50-. Only exception is Pistorius (Minister of “Defence”), who is new and has taken stick for opposing anti-Russian policies in the past.
Yes, in a similar survey at the very end of March they asked the participants to “grade” politicians from +5 (appreciate/respect very much) to -5 (no respect at all). I’d argue that only Pistorius seems to be solidly in the positive.
The outline plans by the Georgia Army National Guard to geofence 67 different public high schools throughout the state, targeting phones found within a one-mile boundary of their campuses with recruiting advertisements “with the intent of generating qualified leads of potential applicants for enlistment while also raising awareness of the Georgia Army National Guard.”
One procurement document states the Guard is interested in “retargeting to high school students after school hours when they are at home,” as well as “after school hours. … This will allow us to capture potential leads while at after-school events.”
The ad campaign will make use of a variety of surveillance advertising techniques, including capturing the unique device IDs of student phones, tracking pixels, and IP address tracking. It will also plaster recruiting solicitations across Instagram, Snapchat, streaming television, and music apps.
The recruiting messages should reach the phones of younger children. Dozens of the schools pegged for geotargeting have middle schools, elementary schools, parks, churches, and other sites where young children may congregate within a mile radius.
“If you have some incorrect ages in there, it’s really not a big deal [to the broker]... [it] could be a means to bypass parental involvement in the recruiting process.”
Yup, he has no idea that sovereignty and territorial integrity are priceless for China. Taiwan's population is only equivalent to a large Chinese city. China's real productive sector is three times greater than America's and greater than those of US', EU's, and Japan's combined. China probably can quickly rebuild and recover no matter what kind of damage Taiwan could inflict on it.It isn't if China can bear the cost of the war that matters. What matters is if Taiwan can and is willing to bear the cost of the war. Idiots in both Taiwan and the West just refuse to knowledge the fact that China would invade Taiwan if its sovereignty is at risk no matter the cost. But brainwashed Westerners still think China could collapse overnight and that they can choke off China's food and energy through sea blockade. And Taiwanese is still delusional enough to think the world would come to their rescue because Taiwan can help.
Surprise surprise, the West's divide and conquer tactic did not work out for Sudan. Sudan is still a mess after the break-away of South Sudan.If the map is anywhere close to this then i wouldn’t give too much of a chance for any quick settlement.
Wonder how the USG is gonna handle it, having to greet a sanctioned Chinese General on US soil and serve him and his staff hospitality...but then i remember Anchorage, the Anglos under Blinken were so petty that they hadn't even prepared a spread or snacks for the meeting. Pathetic.
Two dozens of US arms manufacturers want to set up shops in Taiwan to help Taiwan develop unmanned systems and produce ammunition. Maybe China should do the same thing in Russia.
Unfortunately for Germany, its most important industry, the auto industry, is going down the tubes in China, the world's largest, and one of Germany's most important auto market."Hidden Champion" means small to midsize company that has a few products but is the best at what it is doing. Germany is leading as many of you would guess. The fact that Germany doesn't have explosive economic growth despite this means its large corporations and government are managed horribly.

Shh... don't wake up Thomas Friedman...and don't mention NSA, CIA, FBI, and Snowden to him!China will never realize its full potential — in a hyper-connected, digitized, deep, dual-use, semiconductor-powered world — unless it understands that establishing and maintaining trust is now the single most important competitive advantage any country or company can have. And Beijing is failing in that endeavor.
Bet US Africom has a hand in this.
Not teaching chinese to chinese is basically cultural abandonement. If one can't create the right conditions to use the mother tongue of their parents, be it work, socialising, education one is weak, and disrespects their heritage. At least use it when around family, but there are not few families who already only speak german at home and disencourage their kids from learning mandarin "since its a waste of time, since we are germans now" -unconditionally- even without me as a guest visiting.
Jews also thought they were germans, didn't matter in the end.
A significant message, in light of Beijing's new role as regional peacemaker: Israel calls on China to restrain 's nuclear program. Also significant: it is now China that is presumably in a position to take action, instead of the US..
interesting time ahead guys.
I really hope China grabs this chance to get Iran and Israel to sit down at a table and talk. It's in Iran's best interest to not have nukes right now, if China can make this clear to Iran it could be another easy win for Chinese diplomacy.
Of course China must keep in mind that there needs to be some regional conflict somewhere that keeps the rabid dog America distracted until it is weak enough to be euthanized.

Trust only exists between US and its vassals. Actually even then America trusts its vassals only as long as it can spy on them. China is not a vassal and so will never be trusted90% of the article is straight up bull shit or filler, 5% context, 5% for the actual point.
The entire article can be summarized by the last couple sentences of the article.
Gyna Bad, Gyna Stupid, Gyna drooling, reeeeeee
Btw, I predict this is a pattern that'll play out repeatedly in the near future:Great to see the dystopian US starting to mobilize its police forces to back up completely made up MIC propaganda with action now. Amerimutts don't care what they do to lend a bit more credibility to their lies.
Nice wake up call for anyone who thinks the bullshit the media rats spew are just unimportant empty words with no real consequences, it's the polar opposite. The tiktok ban, chip sanctions, now this, they'll do things even if purely to add credibility to the overall hysterical narrative they're pushing to their people.
