https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1425610846927917063 that paper citing Sinovac's 63% effectiveness against Delta is going to be pretty funny considering this one where Pfizer is slumming it in the low 40s and AstraZeneca can only barely just match it

Admittedly, I am a little skeptical considering there seems to be a wide divergence between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations in the US, many of them which got Pfizer. Portland specifically is almost all Pfizer and while there is a rise, it seems like it should be higher with levels of effectiveness that low. The rise in the rest of Oregon has been far more sharp than Multnomah county specifically. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 04:41 on Aug 12, 2021 |

FrancisFukyomama posted:What’s with CPP vs CPC? Anti China people seem to go out of their way to use the former even though it seems like the latter is the official translation? Is it just one of those petty “I’m gonna call it the DemoCRAT party” things but for libs You can safely ignore any writing that uses CCP.

Police said at the time the investigation was carried out on charges of “property damage” because there were no legal provisions to apply sex crime charges. jfc south korean sex pests are something else

Google fed me an article from a random site about how walmart and target are having issues decoupling from evil xinjiang cotton and the picture they used (and its even provided in the caption) is of a fully automated cotton farm. Like you had machines planting and gathering the cotton while a guy looked at them. Just amazing that a country has the means to implement that sort of automation at a large scale but still have the drive to put 5 million people into concentration camps and have them pick cotton like slaves.

There has been movement to change chinese and korean names in English writing from the 'given name, sur name" order to "sur name space given name" order in recent decades. So the way I see it, calling 中国共产党 CCP insteal of CPC is basically going with the same logic. Also, there is no separate adjective form for nouns in Chinese gamma, so the word "China" can be use as "Chinese" based on context of the sentence.

I have no idea why some people think using the abbreviation CPC is giving them more power. Just pure speculation but maybe the Conservative Party of Canada nudged some press outlets in the past years to stop using CPC in order to not cause confusion. In the early 2000s CPC was universal, and while you could say the phrase "chinese communist party" it wouldn't be abbreviated that way. Not that it's some coordinated conspiracy. Just that you get a few suggestions to the ombudsman, or you're friends with the editor in chief, and the minor correction just snowballed into a new journalistic standard over a decade. Let me throw out an actual conspiracy though, CCP looks like CCCP, and if you were trying to drum up cold war fears again it's like getting a free branding boost from remaking an old movie.

Some idiot white AP or Reuters reporter just made it up 10 years ago and couldn't even be bothered to hit up the website and see what the correct name is. They still can't and at this point it would look odd in the anti-China press if they went to the correct version, so maybe now they think it's some kind of smug ownage like DEMONrats or something.

Guys this isn't complicated. Western news outlets just print what white people want to read and make themselves feel good. What is the target market for actual real English language news about China - Chinese expats? 2nd generation overseas Chinese who can't read Chinese? It doesn't exist, so who's going to write it? You may as well complain that Fox News isn't fair to American liberals.

By the by about a week ago the US military published/declassified its latest assessment of the Chinese military and tactics. Worth a look to fuel your Tom Clancy fantasies Page about it or something: https://community.apan.org/wg/tradoc-g2/operational-environment-and-threat-analysis-directorate/m/documents/383691 Direct PDF link: https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN33195-ATP_7-100.3-000-WEB-1.pdf

quote:The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) continues more than two millennia of Chinese military tradition. China lays cultural claim to many of the world’s most famous works of military strategy and philosophy—most prominently, The Art of War by Sun Tzu—and these works are still highly influential throughout the PLA. The Chinese take military philosophy, politics, and theory very seriously: the PLA is considered the vanguard of the Chinese Communist Revolution, and its philosophical underpinnings are important to both its culture and its approach to warfighting at all levels. The PLA also has a deep commitment to Communist and Maoist philosophy. Well it sure looks like the US Army believes in China's commitment to socialism.

quote:Chinese military theory may be moving away from traditional Marxist-Leninist and Maoist theory as PLA leaders acknowledge the importance of technology, professionalization, and military hierarchy. The PLA, however, still identifies as staunchly Communist and views its modern theories as an evolution of People’s War, not as a revision or repudiation. Edit: Anyway that report is hilarious. It makes the PLA sound cooler than any China booster would dare post about in cspam. Lostconfused has issued a correction as of 19:49 on Aug 12, 2021 |

Time for the great grand children of Puyi to start their own lines of Manchu handbags and shoes. It's the only way to fight the West's strangleholds on stupid luxury brands. Can you imagine a giant brown colored luggage full of scatter "Pu" and "Yi" characters on the case?

The equivalent is asking do you think the chinese should call Biden's party 民主黨(美國) or 美國民主黨？ obviously no one could possible fall into the categories of people who give a gently caress and people who read chinese regularly, so it's a trick question. maybe it's a little different because communist parties are supposed to be international but that's a big "SuPpOsEd To bE" spongebob mocking meme opportunity so don't go there Antonymous has issued a correction as of 21:24 on Aug 12, 2021 |

Antonymous posted:The equivalent is asking do you think the chinese should call Biden's party 民主黨(美國) or 美國民主黨？ Is Biden's party called the "Democratic Party of America" or "The American Democratic Party"? I just went to the DNC's website at democrats.org and neither of those names appear, neither does the term "America" or "American" appear in any of the names used to refer to the party, so I don't know how that would be equivalent because both of those would be wrong and a Chinese writer who used them would look pretty dumb because he apparently just invented a nonsense name for the Democratic party. So are the English writers either too stupid/lazy to go to the CPC's website and learn what the correct name is, or are they purposefully using an incorrect name as some kind of passive-aggressive "own"? The answer is the former because none of those dumb fucks are actually smart enough for the latter which is nonsense anyway. HTH.
