Macau Casinos See $18 Billion Wipeout as China Tightens Grip This news should make bigger news IMO. During height of the trade war I heard a think tank mentioned this was going to be one of the countering policy against the US (capitalists).

Kill All Cops posted:isn't their property price control method contributing to the evergrande's financial issues? aside from evergrande doing weird verticals like a football team and electric cars Red and Black posted:I mean you could argue that all social institutions from the economy to government are “imaginary bullshit”. Still, if a large firm defaults on 300 billion dollars in debt, that means the owners of the debt will lose 300 billion dollars they assumed they had. It’s not hard to see how this could ripple through the economy and cause a crisis. from what i understand, this trashhole company invested in a whole load of stupid poo poo, and is also a hong kong company. it seems very likely if not outright a given that the cpc has their ducks in a row and is in position to handle any actual problems that domestic companies face from it imploding, while getting rid of one of the worst thorns in their side that is doing stupid poo poo like ballooning to 300 billion dollars in toxic assets. socialized losses that all of us have to pay for when things like subprime mortgages go tits up via massive job losses and wage cuts and tax money going to fund the bankroll so these bourgeois losers always get another day at the casino as their birthright being used to justify further austerity is a capitalist thing. if china does any kind of bailout, it will be for whomever got hosed in honest dealing, and helping people who lose jobs over this; it's going to make the US response to 2008 look like (even more of) a loving joke

quote:Behind the scenes: In mid-October 2020, top Pentagon officials grew concerned about intelligence they'd seen. It showed the Chinese were consuming their own intelligence that had made them concerned about the possibility of a surprise U.S. strike against China, three sources familiar with the situation tell Axios. So according to Axios, in October of last year, the Pentagon was repeatedly sending messages to Chinese officials to clarify there wouldn't be a war. Was their international concern about that? From what I remember there was some fear Trump might target Iran.

Lol at the US gov being confused as to why a country that is surrounded by US military bases, gets blamed for a worldwide pandemic in the media, and is accused of committing a genocide, might get a lil paranoid around a tight election cycle.

dictatorship of the postertariat https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1008507/chinas-mass-line-moves-online Policy implementation, economic modernization, and social conflict management remain the pillars of Chinese governance, but we shouldn’t overlook the Communist Party’s commitment to the “mass line” — which emphasizes maintaining close ties with the Chinese people — as a motivation for this shift. In addition to making it easier to file paperwork or process permits online, government bodies have invested in sites and platforms for canvassing public opinion and incorporating it into the policymaking process. The State Council — China’s equivalent to a Cabinet — has endorsed collecting online opinions and feedback as a low-cost, high-efficiency way to improve governance capacity, redress complaints, and conduct oversight of official misconduct. This embrace of online platforms to bridge the gap between the party and the public can be traced back to the early 2000s, when most governmental agencies, from the prefectural to the national level, began establishing online platforms to provide public service announcements, publish important information, and respond to public requests. The trend picked up after 2008, when then-President Hu Jintao called for more proactive measures for consulting and responding to public opinion. Many local governments soon either established a website for public feedback or set up a column on an already existing government-affiliated website where residents could post their complaints, requests, and suggestions. By 2010, reviewing online expressions of public opinion had become commonplace for party officials at all levels ahead of major policy decisions. In the past five years, however, monitoring and responding to public requests and opinions has become increasingly important, even for mundane matters. A notice sent by the State Council in 2016 made it clear that timely responses to public comments and suggestions would be considered an indicator of a local government’s capability to govern. In addition to mandating inspections and trainings on how to respond to public opinion, the State Council also required local officials to pay special attention to issues including any public misperceptions regarding major policies or incidents that could harm the public interest or social stability. Today, most local governments have a specific office designated to handle online opinions. Often, this office is professional and run by staffers whose job it is to ensure that the requests make it to the relevant department. Because anyone can visit these government platforms and check on the progress of a petition, local governments are under more pressure to respond than in the days of opaque government hotlines. Whereas once, petitioners’ emails would frequently go ignored, higher-ups — and even the public — can now check the time stamps of when a request was submitted, transferred, and answered, leading to a fall in average response time from 100 days in 2011 to fewer than 50 in 2014.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Mao went and had bankers/landlords dragged out and executed Mao was actually a moderate who was more into class rehabilitation whereas the leadership in Shanghai wanted much more bloodshed before Mao&Zhou became defacto communist leadership iirc Mao pre 1950s was one of history's slickest people imo. Zhou is a close second, he got Chiang's bodygaurds to capture Chiang and bring him to Zhou and Zhou just said 'stop being an idiot' and let him go. Mao got the emperor to happily give tourists guided tours of the palace. Most Merciful.

imagine marching your army to a remote backwater part of your former country that's falling the gently caress apart while being invaded by an insanely murderous Japanese empire and your so-called compatriots are trying to stab you in the back at every turn and taking the time to teach the local people how to read and practice some modern medicine rather than looting them blind just Alpha poo poo

So Biden was hyping up the "Democratic Summit" a few months ago which was essential what i call the "Dragon Slaying Expo" trying to organize the G7 countries plus India, Taiwan to do an anti-china rally. But the Afghanistan evacuation was such a disaster I haven't heard anyone from the Biden admin bring it up. This Aukus thing come out of nowhere I am guessing is a low key substitute of the Democratic Summit.

In Training posted:does australia have sub nukes currently or is this a new development? Australia doesn't have nuclear weapons though they mine and refine uranium since they have a pretty big supply of it, so they could feasibly make a nuke in like, a couple months. E: when they say "nuclear submarines" I assume they're talking about nuclear powered subs, and not subs designed to launch icbms

Grapplejack posted:Australia doesn't have nuclear weapons though they mine and refine uranium since they have a pretty big supply of it, so they could feasibly make a nuke in like, a couple months. Yes, they're being extremely careful to be very specific that these are nuclear-propulsion subs with conventional weapons. What on earth role those are meant to fill is unclear, other than "Ohios are getting real long in the tooth, let's make the Aussies pay development on the replacement." E: Have to say, the decision to pronounce your new alliance's name as "Orcus" is the kind of choice more fitting for '00s robot anime than reality. Yet here we are anyway.
