News is just to control the population and manipulate opinion. We’ve discussed it to death by now, lol.

I have no respect for these rioters. They go after HK Police officers because they haven’t used true lethal force and they know it. Only 3 shooting incidents and no fatalities, I don’t believe more than 1 round was fired in any of them. Basic police training in North America would be multiple shots in centre of mass. It’s not unusual for people to be shot by police 5, 6 times.

If they really are so “ready to die” for the cause as the stupid videos they make, they would go after the PLA garrison. Instead all they do is shine lasers and run away when warned. All talk.

I had proposed a psychological theory behind the protests a few days ago. My research found this informative article. I urge people to take a look.

One of the key points, if this violence were truly political in nature, you don’t strike out at people like the “Uncle Law” or “Mr. Lee”, they are not authority figures. Same with vandalizing “Blue silk” businesses, most are not big businesses, just regular people trying to make a life too.

Another point that is raised, and I myself mentioned it. One of the ways to stop the violence is to shame them for it. Instead, Western MSM instead is glorifying it, entire US Congress has glorified it. “What a beautiful sight”, what a joke.

On top of that, the schools, they are clearly rotten to the core, mentioned a million times before. Instead of teaching the kids how to conduct themselves in civil society, these teachers have no shame to send them on the front line.

The article even mentioned house of worship as a way to stop them. Again, in HK, church has become a weapon of chaos just like the school system. I don’t blame religion itself, but it’s obvious that in HK, it has become a conduit for the foreign agenda.

How it can get so bad? Read here before that US/UK have been planning this for years before the handover. Not necessarily the unrest itself, but having all the people and infrastructure in place to carry out an operation to foment it and do so quickly. I don’t think there is any doubt now.

Makes you respect the post Tiananmen PRC leadership immensely. I bet the American bloc thought HK would continue to the the #1 city economically in China, triggering rioting would have a huge impact and even domino effect. Instead, even SZ has surpassed it and I would say most Chinese(in China and even overseas) want “cockroaches to be stomped”.

China opens part of its Rare Earth exports to US manufacturers, in exchange for Trump opening visas for Chinese students at Harvard University.

Why? It's a shame for China. I can't get it. Does anyone here know more? o_O

I think the more likely reason would be those rare earth processors in Jiangxi and else where in China are suffering significant losses as result of Beijing's export control. On the one hand, China's own tech industry will always be the biggest customer for the country's rare earth industry. However, export is still very important. Thus, my own hypothesis would be permitting sales to US and EU car industries (after verifying that the end users would not be military) as a way to ameliorate losses suffered by these rare earth processors. However, should there be evidence emerge that the end users in US, Japan, or EU divert their imported magnets/minerals to their respective countries' military industrial complex, Beijing could always cut off supplies at a moment's notice.

What I am looking for now regarding tomorrow's US-China trade talk would be if Washington would resume the export of C919 parts and some IC components/software/EDA in exchange of China maintaining the current (but licensed) of rare earth to civilian end users in the West. Yet, bans for defense end users would remain (meaning end products like F35s would have to get those rare earths elsewhere with higher price) in place.

It's less competitive. However it stills blows a hole in westoid arguments like China is commie or hates freedom so their players can't work as a team.

One thing I recall though is they used to have former Chinese female football player who had a silver medal at the Olympics. All the female player really respected her and followed all her commands even when things were tough. They best Japan to win an Asian cup, something not done in years. Japan in female football is near the top.

Female players don't quit. Current male players quit as soon as they see toughness. Notice how the male Chinese football team usually has zero goals when they lose? I also noticed that they tend to foul a lot and get carded a lot. Sometimes sent off. Considering fouling can lead to penalties that lead to losing like today's game, that's bad. Act so tough on the pitch yet not brave enough to attack where it actually counts in the game.

Just writing this is getting me angry.

But it's not just men's football. China at men's team sports sucks generally. At least football is the most competitive sports in the world so there's an excuse. Meanwhile men Chinese basketball isn't even best in Asia either and has gotten worse over the years.

Football is competitive so ok the team can suck. But it shouldn't apply to all team sports. There is something seriously wrong with the approach which could highlight real underlying problem on attitude towards teamwork. Something we cannot ignore in today's world. It's something that needs to be addressed.

Cuba has a good baseball team and the USSR had a good ice hockey team. So even those authoritative commie countries don't need to live with such humiliation.

there is a saying by a chinese critic who authored a book "ugly chinese" 丑陋的中国人 comparing japanese to chinese, "individual japanese looks like a pig but a team of them looks like a dragon. Individual chinese looks like a dragon but a team of them looks like a pig - even worse than a pig."

Basically too many chefs ruin the soup.

But almost none of the players can be called chefs who can actually cook.
