Boss wants him to GTFO. How do we put it politely and audibly?

Talk about extreme disrespect, not many have gotten Xi to say this in public and even less have gotten him to say in front of the press to some fool like Blinken. This has to be a new form of EMOTIONAL DAMAGE being inflicted on an epic scale, did Xi take master classes in trolling because it really does look like he knows the art of internet memes after all. He even have it exposed on twitter for maximum coverage and maximum dps, Blinken already a suffered this in Alaska and now he gets to suffer it again and this time is the president of China that gets to weigh in, talk about being pwned like a b!tch

As per the latest surveys, 55% of Americans disapprove of what Israel is doing in Gaza.
Half of Democrat voters think it qualifies as a real genocide.

And these are the results of the surveys in the USA.

Europe is significantly more pro-Palestine and anti-Israel.

In Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the rest of the Global South - there is even less sympathy for Israel.

---

Even today, Israel is still a colonial-settler state that keeps trying to take more and more land from the Palestinians in the West Bank.
This hasn't changed for over 50 years.

Being pro-Palestine is the position of the global majority of people and countries.

But somehow India doesn't see Israel as a colonial imperialist state?
India want to become part of New Europe and so does Israel. and all these negotiation is part of creating that order. This Natanyahu is just a baby compared to what the other side (Gulf Arabs) doing but since they have greater Soft Power no one can create narrative against them. Tel Aviv and Haifa are dump when you look at the interior of buildings.

This New Europe was called by MBS in late 2018. i wont speculate on what that really mean as Arabs too sophisticated to put this in public. but MBS is unique ruler in modern Arab history that has done things that were impossible. He started war immediately on Yemen. it is not just starting war but creating Islamic Countries Coalition that can bomb together ( I presume he want to quickly test countries who can stand with him on sudden orders). He imprisoned the richest people of his country all of sudden.
Than there is one more important part whose significance people didnot understand. he bankrupted and closed down firms and those who protested unpaid wages were delivered thosuands of lashes. this first time that feeling was created that muslims of other countries are not doing some favor to Saudis just because they are muslims. this is enough background for creation of New Europe.

You are ri
I've seen this video referenced by multiple people, but I don't think it's from the latest Blinken visit. It's probably from Blinken's visit months ago because in the most recent one Blinken is not alone and has a delegation with him and Xi's people are not wearing masks.
You are right, the number of chairs in the desk behind is also different.

It's been awhile keeping up with the forum. So on Sunday morning, seeing this:


Here are some coffee-induced thoughts on the video.

The title is consistent with MSM China bashing. Let me cut the chase, "China's Looming Crises" are looming, while US/EU crises are here and now.

Three growing problems China is facing from the video
- Real estate
- Semiconductor
- Youth unemployment

China has been living in a "real estate bubble" for more than 10 years. Shanghai is my hometown and I go back often. So I should know. Every Chinese with a normal money brain have known this for years in that, sooner or later, the residential real estate development would become unsustainable. In my observation and judgement, this "real estate bubble" was planted during the Jiang administration and blown up during the Hu administration. By the time Xi took over in 2013, the so-called "land fiscal" local government income model became dangerously addictive and unsustainable. The question has alway been when/how not if since then. Long story short, this current phase of real estate "crisis" was government actively induced. The primary objective is to prick the bubble before the issue pricks the government or society later. And this Chinese "real estate crisis" is fundamentally different from US real estate crises before (2008 coming to mind). In short, China residential real estate and US stock market are heterogeneous twins in terms of personal wealth generation and preservation.

China does not have a semiconductor crises per se. China bought into this globalization and supply-chain pecking order until US started the trade/tech wars on China. Since then, China was forced into its survival mode and started domestication of the semiconductor supply-chain. The funny thing on this item is that this would still be a propaganda subject right after the mass-production of 9000s in Mate 60 Pro and 9010 in Pura 70 Pro.

China youth unemployment rate is high in comparison to the US, the only comparable economy (and scale) on this planet. There are a few unique contributing factors that don't exist in the US.
(1) China's little emperors
Since China started single-child policies late 1980s, majority of children born after 2000s are single child of 2 parents plus 4 grand parents, which were called Gen Z in the US. Those kids have more financial backing than their US peers. There is a running joke in China nowadays: China Gen Z are teaching their companies boss how to treat employees. Those kids are no longer willing to take hard-labor low-pay jobs of their parents. I give you on real-world example why they can do that. One of my young relative in Shanghai has the inheritance rights of 5 apartments in Shanghai, who did not go to college. Well, no surprise, his net worth would allow me to retire in California right now, which I cannot afford right now.

(2) China private plot land (自留地)
This is a unique social welfare feature in Chinese rural populations. For those rural kids who cannot find jobs in cities, they can survive without government rescue. Life would be hard, but one can survive.

(3) Transition to urbanization is not yet completed
China urban residents counted around 64% in 2023. But many residents are new comers, which means they came to the cities from their rural home towns. It is common in Chinese cities that the divide of haves versus have-nots is predominantly generation locals versus new comers. For vast majority of new comers, the employment pressure is lot higher from living costs. Therefore, freedom of choices for jobs is limited in comparison to generation locals

So let me take a pause here on responding to that propaganda video piece. There is no journalistic quality per se. What makes me puzzled is that, while US is undergoing general election cycle with lots of urgent domestic issues, propaganda people still have that kind of time and energy to "care" about "China's Looming Crises". My message: 管你屁事!

Can anyone tell me that why so many Chinese are pro-palestine and anti-israel.

Is it geopolitics as they see Israel part of the western empire which is in direct conflict with rising China??

Or is it because most socialists tend to side with Palestine and china being a state that leans socialist makes an average Chinese to side with Palestine?
Anti-Muslim sentiment is rare in China. Chinese people really, really like Pakistan, which is a Muslim country. Many Chinese people know about the great Turkic, Arab, and Iranian empires of the past, so there is a lot of respect for the Muslim world in China. Unfortunately, Westerners associate the Middle East with terrorism, but based on my conversations with other Chinese people, Chinese people generally associate the Middle East with good-looking people and delicious food. They don't dislike Muslims at all. I remember reading somewhere that the average person in Eastern China is around 5-10% Central Asian (Turkic), so that's another reason for Chinese people to like Muslims and the Middle East.

On the other hand, most East Asians don't trust Jewish people. The Sassoon family, which is Jewish, caused nearly a century of abject misery in China. George Soros, a Jewish billionaire, tried to take down China's economy during the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997. There's a Japanese anime series called Neon Genesis Evangelion which is extremely popular in China and it's basically about a group of Jewish people who try to secretly destroy the world. I think that says a lot about how East Asians feel about Jewish people in general. Chinese people don't hate Jewish people, but they definitely don't trust them either.

tbh the same is true for white women. The white women considered beautiful by Chinese are not what white guys like (which is fine by me). I may or may not know something about this.
Not that it helps, white men are triggered by even the notion of an Asian man flirting with a white female, hell they’re even triggered by seeing happy AMAF couples because they believe they are entitled to the bodies of asians.

This is also why videos of Chinese people just living their lives triggers white racists. They believe Chinese should be impoverished and poor and worshipping white people so when Chinese people tell them no, their first reaction is violence.
