For decades, intellectual property was treated as something sacred in the West. But once certain countries found themselves at an disadvantage in specific fields, the rules suddenly changed and the Financial Times now calls it ‘standing up to China’ instead of ‘IP theft. The bias from the FT is so obvious in the face.
The concept and balance of 文 and 武 is a civilizational debate. It’s hard to say which is ultimately more important because we don’t know where we stand on the long river of history. Just as there are 武 civilizations that died out because they lack 文 foundation, there are 文 civilizations that were destroyed because they lack 武. If China is ultimately destroyed because of nuclear war, does all that 文 matter? And I bet the Chinese that lived through the eight nations occupation or died during the japanese invasion would’ve preferred a bit more 武.
Today’s world is clearly one where might is right. Yet China is still practicing great forbearance and preaching harmonious rise. But the rulers of the global order don’t want you to be harmonious or rise. It was advantageous when China was weak, but now that it’s strong, inaction makes China look incompetent.
China’s unwillingness to exert its power is why no one fears China. They fear they can’t contain China’s rise, but nobody fears China initiating military action on them, like America would to their enemies. They know of economic consequences, but that amounts to losing money. It won’t affect the safety of their homeland. This why small countries jump out at every opportunity to antagonize China at America’s behest instead of remaining neutral. Why stores in neighbouring countries dare to put up “No Chinese” signs. Why even philippines with 6 warships dare to use fishing boats to play chicken with Chinese coast guards. Which country would try this with America?
I’m not advocating life or death warfare, but China needs to at least swing a punch to make others fear and respect you. Parading around some missiles doesn’t mean anything when everyone believes you’re too timid to use them.

The Houtis. And American hasn't even invade Yemen yet.
A bit absurd, if not laughably embarrassing that this is even news to Bethany.
British NSA Jonathan Powell spent much of his career at the Foreign Office, so he got extensive experience working alongside and negotiating against intelligence officers operating under official covers, assuming he wasn't one himself. For guys like him, it's a part of the job description.
Think tanks like the Grandview Institution and Bethany's very own employer ASPI tend to be stacked with all sorts of former(-ish) intelligence professionals and assets, and in no small part exist so such characters may engage with their foreign colleagues of both the friendly and adversarial varieties.
Therefore, Bethany almost knows than few characters herself!
So homegirl there is either terrible at feigning outrage, or perhaps deeply bitter about a past run-in with the MSS or one of its sister agencies . . .
So izzat = aura. No aura = death.
What alot of non-chinese don't truly grasp, even if they are aware of it on paper is that China is a self contained civilization. All of the different archetypes of cultures exist within the Chinese civilization. Most of the world's contact and understanding of China is through the coastal mercantile cultures, since they are heavily represented in producing export products and conducting international business. Both the inland and coastal cultures provide value to the civilization as a whole in different ways. It's what allows China to be resiliant during upheaval and rebound during times of peace. Balancing of these cultures depending on the environment is important. Don't be ashamed of your Shanghainese background.
Did USAID get restated or something?
I noticed a lot of generic China bad posts are coming back on social media.
The funny thing is how tone deaf they are because they are repeating the same old points even though we have people like Bald who have actually been to China showing that's not the case.
I guess the lesson learnt is people will always come up with a way to see China bad even if that's against reality. That's just how they are

This video aswell as ChongqingHotpot represents Shanghainese people which is why me and my dad are embarrased to be Shanghainese.
Shanghainese people are such western cocksuckers to the point that it could rival that of HKers and time and time again west stabs China in the back so we it reasonable to view pro western people as the fifth column of China plus HK riots were not long ago so there is that (The Chinese diaspora being from the coast dosen't help).
It dosen't even help that the Shanghainese government is also somewhat like this where they rewrite history to make basically glorify the "Paris of the East" even though all was just a corrupt, crime ridden aparthied state. Not to mentioned they completly omit the fact that Shanghai was already a port city since the song dynasty from the Shanghai history musuem and Shanghai zoo has a eurocentric view on the history of pandas which is fucking disgraceful.
I wish Xi Jinping would have more power so he could purge this shit once and for all.
Xi Dada is also from Shaanxi along with my mom which is another reason whu me and my dad do not claim to be Shanghainese but Shaanxi ren.
