The idea that military can help in civilian projects is not bad in itself, the issue is that it can't be a permanent situation.

During the early era of Deng, the economy was not doing well and stimulus was required. By the time of Jiang, it was not needed anymore.

I disagree with this, particularly in China's case. Actually this subject applies to all non-profit public institutions, particularly in China. One of the most important government reforms in China was to separate commercial operations from government institutions, particularly during Jiang/Zhu administration. The logic is the same. Once a critical government institution like military owns and/or operates for-profit commercial enterprises, corruption is inevitable and most likely irreversible. Chinese have an ancient saying: 挡人财路如同杀人父母.

When Jiang issued the order and the process began, fortunately it was not too late for PLA to cut off that sweat poison. And Xi Jing Ping has gone further, banning almost all socializing perks and costs on government tabs. So it is fair to say, as of today, the Chinese government in general and PLA in particular is much cleaner than the Deng era.

I had no idea that there are alligators in Yangtze river.

Not an unvaccinated nor anti mask nor likely woman, just a 5x Pfizer vaccinated (yet still contracted long covid) American bot on minimum wage.

They gotta try harder, it isn't even legal to consume let alone farm dogs in China. Unlike how it is in the countries of their European brothers, like Switzerland.

But covid brain fog is potent... I cut them some slack.

First of all, it's just nonsensical to claim that CPC created the festival. Second, I don't know the situation in Europe. But in the U.S., every year millions of pets are mercilessly abandoned, and about one million of these are euthanized. Finally, whatever the Chinese eat, it's still better than Satanism.

The Hebrew University in Israel still has a Confucius day.

(ECNS) -- A conversation between descendants of a Nanjing Massacre survivor and a Japanese veteran was recorded by the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders.
The son of the Japanese veteran asked Li Zhenming, whose father is Li Gaoshan, a survivor of the Nanjing Massacre, "What would be your attitude toward my father if he came here?"
"Your father was also a victim of Japanese militarism. If he came here, it shows that he is now a man with a sense of justice and feels guilty for the atrocities that Japan committed against China. I think I can forgive him," Li replied.
The veteran's son thanked Li profusely.
During the Nanjing Massacre, Li Gaoshan was only 13 years old. He witnessed Japanese soldiers using machine guns to slaughter unarmed civilians after the city of Nanjing fell into the enemy's hands.
Li Zhenming recalled that his father kept relating his experience to the public when he was alive. Even though Li was weak and confined to a wheelchair, he insisted on taking part in the testimony activities, recalling his story through his son.
In 2018, Li Zhenming participated in the volunteer team of the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders to serve as a guide. What he believes most is that peace is hard to come by.
"If I recount the history to 10 people, they will spread it to 100 people," said Li Zhenming.
"There are less and less survivors of the Nanjing Massacre. Their memories must be passed on to future generations without interruption after they leave the world. I have the responsibility and obligation to tell the young people about the process of defending Nanjing and the historical facts of the Nanjing Massacre," Li added.
His father Li Gaoshan died of illness at his home at 94 in 2018. According to the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders. Fellow survivor Xiang Yuansong died on Monday, reducing the total number of registered survivors to 54.

Vietnam failed at this, they allowed the PAVN to get involved in business, and that is why Vietnam, despite having a GDP per capita like 2005 China, has tech like 1990 China. In 2001, China already had semiconductor fabs operating within 2 nodes of the leading edge, multiple top tier IT companies (Alibaba and Tencent already founded), multiple top tier electronics companies (Huawei, ZTE and Oppo already founded), a space program, start of high speed rail, etc. Vietnam has not only none of these but not even a plan to get any of these.
