that said, seeing as this isn't from a Chinese source, I am very much taking this with a grain of salt, but be prepared for folks to attack China based on their reported restrictions on abortion in the coming days

inaccurate reporting, as per usual

ah yes, the finnish connection... the power conversion connection in finland is part of an international network of powerful centers, all transferring power between each other, in secret and unseen along innociuously appearing cables, in response to any attempts by the despi-cable birds of the revolutionary dawn to disrupt the true sources of power for our masters.

and all of it running through these converters, purported by these perfidious finns to be constructed by true aryan workers in the pure lands of the reich, are in truth the producta of a worldwide communist conspiracy controlled by BIRDS to seaize and concentrate all productive capital into bird hands

Dragons, Tigers, Pearls, and Yellowcake: 4 Stuxnet Targeting Scenarios

https://www.forbes.com/sites/firewall/2010/11/22/dragons-tigers-pearls-and-yellowcake-4-stuxnet-targeting-scenarios/


quote:

… I’ve written a white paper ”Dragons, Tigers, Pearls, and Yellowcake: 4 Stuxnet Targeting Scenarios“, in which I describe four possible Stuxnet scenarios by examining the relationships that connect the “victim” states – a kind of cyber victomology. The title comes, in part, from the traditional animal symbolism of China and India – the dragon and the tiger.

The four scenarios are:

Rare-Earth Metals Producing States
Uranium-Producing States
Corporate Sabotage To Discredit Siemens AG
Protecting The Malacca Straits (the String of Pearls)

In An Attempt To Sinify China, Authorities Are Removing Domes From Mosques

Emily Feng September 28, 20215:08 AM ET
China wants to changes mosques to make them more Chinese. The mosque campaign has triggered a discussion on what being Chinese really means.


Emily “does journalism by begging for leads in Facebook groups for English-speaking Chinese who do not live in China” Feng.

#2 story is the “skyrocketing US murder rate.”

lol this is an attempt to make mosques look more like they used to. before the cultural revolution, most mosques in china looked like buddhist temples, but after when they rebuilt them, they did it in modern islamic style. my source is this carl zha tweet https://twitter.com/CarlZha/status/1082203317810257920. I used to have a better one, but I forgot.

I can say as someone who lives in china, muslims here are about 100x more accepted by society than in america. theres tons of muslims everywhere, and it's not really a big deal in any way.

You don't really need domes, that's largely just the influence of Turkish/Ottoman and Iranian religious pressure, they love domes. The only important parts of the mosque are the niche, the minaret, and the courtyard.

Imo they shouldn't tear them down without cause but rebuilding older eastern style mosques would be cool. Hell just have them both why not

What's the conspiracy theory being spread here? Stuxnet was a joint Israel/US op targeting Iran but it spread worldwide. 2% of all computers in the US were infected but it doesnt do anything unless that computer is a PLC controlling a specific process.

A specific number of PLC's running specific firmware versions doing very specific things. You could infect every single PLC controller in the world and the only real impact would be on Iran's centrifuge system.

Most Chinese convenience stores have condoms at the checkout counter like gum so I don't know what they really have to do to get people to use them more. I think it's mainly getting women on birth control since the general sentiment I got was that people thought it was the 60's and they could easily make you sterile. I don't know how it is now but I've heard horror stories about Chinese sex ed classes, which were comically worse than US ones, in that the teachers just gave them a book and left the room. It's probably better now and it should hopefully be after this for the sake of the children so you don't have grown rear end women who think babies come out of their belly buttons.

does anyone still have that link I vaguely remember being posted here featuring CPC evaluations of the dissolutions of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union and what can be learned from them?

would be interested to get access to CPC theory, since post Mao Chinese lit doesn’t seem as accessible to westerners and I’d be interested in hearing Chinese perspectives on the collapse of communism in Russia directly from the source rather than from external observers

My wife is from a Balkan country with about 15 percent Muslim population. A few years ago a bunch of money from Saudi Arabia flooded the country and suddenly Roma women were wearing niqabs (and getting paid to do so, no one had ever worm them before) and the mayor got paid off to let the mosques prayers blast out on a loud speaker 5 times a day. loving Wahhabism, gently caress that poo poo. China is right to get Saudi money and influence out of their country.

Maybe for younger people it's better, but my useless anecdote is that every non-westernized Chinese woman my age, when the subject came up, had pretty abysmal sexual literacy, and tbh I wouldn't be surprised if in a lot of places it's not much better now.

Probably a big gap between the various regions/tiers of city as well.

Whether or not you believe things like:
- Penetrative sex at any point near or during menstruation has a very high chance of literally killing a woman (this seemed to be based on a severe misunderstanding of toxic shock syndrome)
- Oral sex can lead to pregnancy
- Basic understanding of hormones and contraception
- Basic human anatomy

etc.

Some Guy TT posted:

Japan, where lots of Chinese people are, but many of whom have not been as exposed to Western culture and don't know English. It's a legitimately interesting population in a way because frequently people presume that "highly educated/internationally experienced" de facto means fluent in English and familiar with western culture, but there's definitely places where that's not the case. I don't know what you're doing in Korea but I'm kinda surprised you haven't had similar experiences, since that's one of the other main examples.

More specifically, I made a variety of friends and acquaintances going to student and young professional networking events and such for foreigners in Japan, which (when you're talking about the "legit" ones for full-time undergrads and normal employees of Japanese firms, and not bullshit western exchange student stuff) are overwhelmingly Korean and Chinese.

I find people sometimes talk about life and sex when drinking at the wee hours of the morning; not sure about your experience though.

Antonymous posted:

Several of my girlfriends back when were Chinese since I tended to gravitate towards people who both understood the dynamics of being a foreigner in Japan and also understood Japanese culture, which is inherently a pretty limited population, but I heard about it from plenty of sources besides that.
