Just to make identity issue inflicting self harm peven Stan happy : Besides selling GUNZ across the world and unapologetically funding death squads, American Chamber of Commerce promotes Amway and Herbalife as American interests. Holy poo poo go suck a dick. And if you want to shill for the PRC, do a better job like R.

quote:Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) is the first volume of stories about Winnie-the-Pooh, by A. A. Milne. It is followed by The House at Pooh Corner. The book focuses on the adventures of a teddy bear called Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, a small toy pig; Eeyore, a toy donkey; Owl, a live owl; and Rabbit, a live rabbit. The characters of Kanga, a toy kangaroo, and her son Roo are introduced later in the book, in the chapter entitled "In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest and Piglet has a Bath". The bouncy toy-tiger character of Tigger is not introduced until the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner.

Eh in a comparison to a country like China that is still low if you consider all central government spending/provincial spending/SOEs. I would be surprised if all state-centric activity in China is 80%+ of GDP in China (SOEs on their own are at least 30-40% of the economy).

So I walked by a government building tonight and people in police uniforms were outside the gates casually burning documents of some sort. I’m guessing it wasn’t exactly what I was imagining, but I still really appreciated the image. It’s the little things.

Cyberpunkey Monkey posted:I've seen this argument in a few different places where really shady non-academic sources (i.e. Business Insider, Forbes, and journalists looking for a best seller) are used to claim that China is some kind of Capitalist (or most recently HYPERCAPITALIST) state, but it stinks of horseshit propaganda to me. Do any goons have any actually good arguments (both sides are bad) or is this just one of those things that is going to get drowned out in the propaganda pissing matches? Massive amounts of industry has moved to or been developed in China because it's been hugely profitable for capitalists based on the surplus labour the're extracting, a process which the Chinese government has helped facilitate in search of development goals, sometimes clearly at the expense of workers rights or health. China is soon going to surpass the US in number of billionaires. Various schemes exist to control the clearly delineated labour classes (i.e migrant labour, rural peasants). Personal profit is often tied to party position and power etc. It's very difficult to wash your hands of these things and claim China is Socialist because of the size of SOE and the tenuous argument that state ownership and worker ownership of the means of production are the same or similar. The modern Chinese path may have succeeded in many of the original Socialist goals (well mostly material development and raising the standard of living) and it may be preferable to how things are done in the West, but it clearly isn't socialist regardless of whether you use capitalist or state capitalist as a descriptor.

I mean, if you grant them the technicalities they’re looking for then sure it works but it’s as likely to happen as any other path to Taiwanese independence. The idea that because Taiwan was never formally transferred to the ROC and Taiwanese people were never formally declared to be Chinese holds exactly as much water as you care to give it. A funnier interpretation of international law, along similar lines, is that since all treaties between Japan and the ROC were voided when Japan switched its diplomatic recognition to the PRC, Taiwan should automatically have become Japanese territory again

Cairo Declaration posted:The several military missions have agreed upon future military operations against Japan. The Three Great Allies expressed their resolve to bring unrelenting pressure against their brutal enemies by sea, land, and air. This pressure is already rising. The Treaty of San Francisco also stipulates that Japan returns all annexed territory to China. It doesn't explicitly state Taiwan but it's definitely included in that.

Raenir Salazar posted:Some of those are butt clench worthy; regardless of being in China or whatever, I hate heights. There are a number of reasons for that. HSR viaducts help you keep your line straight when the terrain is uneven. You also save a lot of money and time due to the much lower land acquisition costs. Some of the Chinese HSR projects are totally bonkers. For example, take the Guiyang–Guangzhou line, linking two provincial capitals (Guizhou with Guangdong) in the South while passing over the Guangxi province. Most of the line had to pass over karst terrain, which is an exceptional challenge topography wise for building a speed railway. So they said gently caress it, kept the line as straight as possible, and proceeded to bore 270 tunnels and make aqueducts over 510 valleys along the way. The result was a line that cut the travel time between the cities from 20hrs to 4hrs with trains initially running at 250km/h (now they are shooting for 300km/h there). The 856 km long line was completed in 7 years, and took almost $14Bn to build. Something like 90% of the track is either a viaduct, a tunnel or a bridge.

Viaducts also ought to eliminate the possibility of train-versus-road vehicle collisions, but we’ve all observed the curious aerodynamic properties that cars can exhibit sometimes and given China’s massive and constantly expanding high-speed rail network it seems like the most likely place for the law of averages to eventually recreate that one Calvin & Hobbes strip with the infinitely complex disaster cascade.

That is not much of a factor in HSR lines, since those are today a priori built almost entirely without level crossings in the first place. Same goes for France or Japan, HSR lines are mostly contained. It is still a factor for design though in mixed lines.
