I remember a long time ago on CSPAM that some "leaked photos" of women in china being tied up /publicly humiliated and tortured turned out to just be run of the mill BDSM erotica they were holding signs saying "I am a murderer" iirc

Supposedly, it has a bit of a poor trigger and some quality control issues. I think the PLA has a new rifle coming out. That said, I would say in general the 1990s were very much a transition-era for the PLA between basically 1950s era Soviet equipment with some local improvements and the incorporation of more Western technology. It isn't so much that the Soviets/Russians didn't have comparable tech but it is just how the Sino-Soviet split worked out. That said now, I think things are honestly on a pretty even keel.

I think the PLA has a new rifle coming out. They sell civilian QBZ-97s (which are the 95 but in 5.56 instead of China's proprietary cartridge) in places outside of the US so they're around outside China where people can but guns. Word is it kinda sucks in a number of ways (as noted trigger and QC, also mechanical accuracy, has the inherent drawbacks of bullpups, but is serviceable and goes boom and is cheap. You can see alll about them from 槍耶穌 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRvV4v1FjAo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYoDHe8Kv4U New gun is the QBZ-191 which goes back to a non-bullpup config and seems to be a modern side charging AR18 derivative. This is a ridiculously thorough video which came out nowhere from a guy who has apparently done nothing else and is really worth a look, btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fIkShbx3W4

Enclaves make the theorem's premises invalid, so it does not actually make coloring the drat thing any easier. e: I think you can do it with... 7? colors. Something like that.

Just got into Mexico City and the first thing I see getting off the plane is a sign saying basically "Huawei les da la bienvenida a México". And then I see ads for HSBC, Xiaomi. One of the main ride-sharing apps is Didi. Get out of the American bubble for a second and you find other countries aren't scared of China.

have there been any statements on the permanence of Covid welfare state expansions? I imagine stuff like anti homeless shelters or free medical testing and Covid treatment wouldn’t be a particularly hard thing to maintain now that they’re in place
