Slowing sales aren’t agents’ only concern. In late October, Shanghai’s real estate authorities launched an online service to help prepare contracts. The Shanghai Real Estate Trading Center’s “Hand-in-Hand Contract Signing Net” gives buyers and sellers tools to make a deal without relying on an agent. At the moment, this platform in Shanghai only provides a standard form contract signing service. But in the neighboring city of Hangzhou, a similar platform launched in August offers free house listings, notarization, and access to mortgage providers.

I would say it's the former because of how they were able to grow their technology and industry and infrastructure while staving off neoliberal rot. The latter is seen everywhere outside of like western europe and the anglosphere imo.

I don't get why people treat NATO as some kind of neutral entity.

Why is it perfectly fine to join a military alliance and be ready to go to war against some unspecified enemy?

I actually think Marxism is the deciding factor. If nothing else, a background in Marxist education keeps Chinese policy makers grounded - while Western policymakers are purely ideological thinkers operating on the rules of a game that they made up in the wake of the Cold War ending.

NATO is specifically against russia. Attempts to convert it into an anti china force have been met with stern "gently caress You"s by most in the bloc

Also we have nato members buying russian equipment. Theres a chance that if push comes to shove the alliance falls apart because some of the farther states would probably not risk their necks for ukraine.

I think the Georgia and Ukraine wars have done more to keep NATO alive than anything else. Romney got dunked on repeatedly for harping on the Russian threat in 2012

I get that but you kinda have to pretend that NATO isn't aimed right at Russia if you want to keep saying it should just sit tight and not do anything while everyone around it joins up.

And also pretend that the negotiations aren't just between US and Russia, and that NATO allies and Ukraine have any agency in this too.

Good kitty
The obsession with 89 in the West is interesting because in western discourse it exists only as an abstract concept completely detached from real history, so you can get people simultaneously bemoaning how Xi has abandoned Deng's legacy while going on endlessly about Tiananmen (or even forecasting "another Tiananmen" in Hong kong back in 2019)

Those all came long after 9/11. There was a good 10 year period from 91 to 9/11 when NATO had no real existential excuse, and something like the Yugoslav Wars let it pretend like it could still do something other than be belligerent with Russia. Which, at the time, was more or less run by a US puppet. 9/11 also revitalized NATO because it gave everyone something to do in Afghanistan.
