The beauty of it is that in Russia covid is indistinguishable from the rampant super-TB and alcoholism deaths, so they can spare the doctors.

Americans cannot comprehend any kind of assistance to other countries that isn’t more f35s for Israel or Saudi Arabia

Fleetwood posted:It's totally normal to feel this way. There's a lot of good stuff out there that just gets ignored by academics because so many insist that China is the bad guy (which is sometimes true), so works that paint China as a good-faith actor or non-imperialist get ignored, and those views don't trickle into the common discourse. I've def seen this in action in real time– a lecturer offers years of rational evidence that China has done something good for a foreign country and offered a positive alternative from Western interests, and no one in the room can wrap their heads around it because they can't turn off their "China BAD" switch Do you have any links? My time in Africa has led me to a healthy skepticism of Chinese outreach there. And a revulsion towards Western style NGOism.

So Kushner negotiated a whole big plane of medical material from China in exchange for Trump stop calling it "Ghana Virus". I still haven't decided if it was a better deal for China or better deal for Trump.

It would be more like the Irish Riverdance show sell for $400 a ticket and all their profit go toward the IRA and a fake English news assembly line factory.

Yeah, fortunately it was an old-style slow train, so almost everyone survived. When similar things happen to those bullet trains, you just pave over the wreckage.

The older lines have less infrastructure dedicated to them. That kind of escarpment probably isn't code for the high speed lines.

It really happened, yeah. It's partly because the French authorities are paying on delivery while the Americans are paying upfront, no questions asked. The French article also says the supply chain in China is a clusterfuck since everyone is ordering at the same time. Shipments are held up at one airport, so you try to send them to another airport by truck but there are traffic jams, and so on.

It's specifically from the Kaiserreich mod, which in the newest version has Chen Jiongming being able to potentially being able to unite the country under a federalist system.

stephenthinkpad posted:1 Can I play in the long march scenario? Can't really Long March (the core combat simulation is essentially "armies never die unless isolated, but die immediately if they are", and the local departure is the abject failure of the Northern Expedition anyway), but Wang Jingwei is in fact the default (left, Chiang has been shuffled off in the aftermath) KMT leader in KR. Wouldn't recommend it with no army, since you start at war with a very successful given that departure Zhili Clique and even if you survive you're the odd man out among the mostly-Wobbly global left that's balanced to lose without human intervention.

Well in the base game you can be Mao. It's a difficult start for beginners. You can also ditch him and have Wang Ming as the Communist leader following a more Soviet aligned route or wuss out and become a Social Democratic party. You can also be the Chiang Kai-Shek led KMT, any of the major warlords, or Wang Jingwei's collaborationist government.
