I wasn't born yesterday so I do not trust even for a moment the words coming out of Campbell's mouth.
However, I greatly enjoy all the consternation and butt devastation this news is causing.

When progressives went too far.

Vietnam thought being a sidekick of the US would shield it from tariffs, guess not.

More empty talk by Taiwan. How can the dog, ask or "warn" its owner of anything?

More double speak from the world hegemon.

Well bcoz im from Kashmir so personal bias :p . Also today the only regions where there are strong secessionist movements is Kashmir and Nagaland. Rest of India i can say is pretty much strongly integrated.

I won't be so sure. Also, it doesn't make it right that India exercise it's former colonial master's of might is right by annexing Goa, sikkim Bhutan.

I can resonated with these youngsters and their angst against income inequality especially the housing affordability issue. Xi understands that very well. That's why China has been cracking down on housing prices and the monopolies even though it is risky and costly. However, I don't think China can afford to offer better welfare at the moment. China simply isn't wealthy enough to give out generous welfare and social services.

Why should China enter Afghanistan in the first place. China just wants to do business and maintain border security.

I didn't read the article because I really don't care what NYT has to say about China.

I just want to say that welfare of not the solution to social inequality. On the contrary, welfare perpetuates inequality.

Under Xi Jinping, China has tackled and is still tackling three major issues, all of which were caused by the proliferation of Capitalism in the past 30 years.

First, corruption. This is Xi's first and most successful campaign to date, and paves the way for China to tackle the other two issues.

Second is environmental degradation. Tackling this issue means tightening up environmental regulations, which requires officials who are resistant to corruption. This is the first step toward reducing social inequality by giving back to people their health.

The third issue is social inequality. China's first success is the elimination of absolute poverty. We are also seeing stronger oversight of large Chinese corporations as demonstrated by Ant Financial and Didi. We will continue to see a series of such measures designed to curb the power of Chinese capitalists and protect the interests of the people.

In many ways, the curbing of capitalist influences in China would not have been possible without the hostility of the US. This hostility has two effects: first, it severely restricted business opportunities of Chinese corporations in the West, thereby making them much more reliant on the good will of the domestic market. Second, it created a sense of common purpose among the Chinese populace and any perceived attack on or betrayal of Chinese national interests are now seen as intolerable. Chinese consumers can and will exercise collective power to punish businesses that attempt to profit at the expense of the nation.
