If anyone was wondering, "Normal University" comes from " école normale" which was what teacher's colleges used to be called - UCLA started out as the Los Angles State Normal School. The term has largely fallen into disuse in the English speaking world along with separate teacher's colleges.

He probably said words to the effect of "lol wtf everyday life in China is capitalist as hell with investments and predatory loans and adverts and consumer culture and billionaires".

he probably did know he would get the ban, zizek knows he is an intellectual jester (this isn't dissing him - to the contrary I think he loving rules for knowing how to play this part so well)

what I am rather surprised about it is that for the past couple of years or so he had a turn of heart and publically praised the Chinese government for their handling of covid and then the social achievements of the party, which is somewhat very unlike him. what remains thorny is his support for hong kong probably

i read the article and it genuinely seems like this is a positive thing and not some sneaky way of "affirming" someone's gender as assigned at birth. pretty impressive

I mean they don't know this but there is a small bit of concern, Iran does something similar where if you're a gay man your options are to transition or die. China doesn't have Iran's religious background tho and this is aimed younger, so

Clawing back a piece of the land they lost during the dissolution of the USSR means way more, especially with their vice grip on natural gas and them getting sea access with Syria and Crimea. Ukraine should be nervous at this point, they're next
