Some Guy TT posted:does china just not bother to regulate local textbooks most of the time this is an awfully odd thing not to notice for thirteen years there was also just that incident of the textbook that referred to homosexuality as a mental disorder or w/e. the fact that they’re open to fixing poo poo like this is way better than what we’re dealing with in America but it does seem like a lack of oversight I guess when you have a population with x languages and y cultures to educate it’s a more complex problem to tackle

Slightly off topic, I don't use Twitter because I am loving old. I just found out Carl Zha got married half year ago and his wife is Balinese. That kind of threw me off. I only read his post through the thread osmosis, I had alway assumed he was some kind of grandson of a real red princelin, and obviously would move back to China/HK and and marry a Chinese woman. I also stumbled on his youtube channel and it only has 10k subs. That's a lot smaller than the other niche Chinese language politic talking head channels. Maybe twitter popularity doesn't' translate to youtube popularity?

Hes talked about here due to his frequent appearances on radio war nerd imo. Other wise hes just a minor hate figure for western china watchers.

I saw his tweets get posted by someone outside the weird "online tankie" sphere, but it was just general social issue stuff related to Asia.

I don't know if you guys are following Corona news in India. For some reason they had a relatively quiet winter and the Roni just exploded come spring. All the numbers are breaking records. And they are completely running out of space to perform cremation ritual along the river banks. Cremation pyres have to pushed into inner streets. And there is all kind of oxygen scrambling and remdesivir searching news. Yes that bullshit Trump drug that doesn't work, the Indians are refreshing their apps to find out where to buy them. The wall-to-wall news in Indian media really remind me of Wuhan in Feb and New York in April last year.

oh yeah if you need a spot of optimism about china's future i've been reading this site which translates chinese intellectuals, and has a section on chinese liberals: https://www.readingthechinadream.com/liberals.html fun stuff: a bunch of them love trump and think 'political correctness' is destroying the west. they've been getting increasingly mad and nude during the xi jinping era for halting privatization and other liberal poo poo: quote:The text translated here was written in early 2012, and offers a very frank criticism of China’s political and economic situation from the perspective of a conservative liberal for whom property rights are the foundation of a healthy political and social order. I read this text, and in fact, all 12 essays found on Ren’s Aisixiang page from 2012, in an effort to contextualize a talk Ren gave at a Crédit Suisse investment seminar on “Political Succession in China” in May of 2012, the video of which was banned in China. The goal of this mini-project was to determine to what extent Ren’s verbal remarks outside of China differed from his published work inside China, and you can read my thoughts on what I found here. I subsequently translated the text below as part of this project, but the text is worth reading on its own merits. this dude could basically be a d&d poster. also the libs have been getting rear end reamed by the state recently: quote:The timing of Rong’s essay is interesting. He first presented it at a seminar in January 2013 at the Unirule Institute of Economics 天则经济研究所 in Beijing. It was then published on Consensus 共识网 on 26 March 2013 and has since appeared on many other websites hosted in and outside China. The first half of 2013 was a time of intense speculation in mainland intellectual circles about the newly incumbent Party General Secretary, Xi Jinping, who had taken up this top leadership role in November 2012. Many had hoped that the plain-spoken Xi, unlike his ineloquent predecessor Hu Jintao (who spoke mostly in Party slogans), would implement reforms that would make the party-state system not only more accountable but also more hospitable to constructive criticism. It was in this generally positive ambience that Rong presented his seminar at the Unirule Institute. ftw

Agrajag posted:also this like whuh? this take comes from that story early in 2020 when allegedly a bunch of Africans were evicted from their units during the pandemic. if I recall correctly the entirely correct response was that the local government looked into it and then passed an ordinance banning such behavior, though I'm not sure what happened if the people affected actually got rehoused
