Jetlag must be causing her to sundown. This Nancy interview is completely incoherent. I have no idea if she meant to call China "freest" or if she meant taiwan. First she says they're talking to China about climate, then the interviewer says that her visit shut down climate talks and she says they were never talking. She's rambling the entire time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb02loac8sc&t=310s Time stamped for china question.

speaking of simplification, what's up with this poster? the graphic is simplified and the block print is traditional. you can even see red written two different ways. didn't have time to produce new print blocks? strategically waiting until the next round of simplification before ordering new ones? baffling artifacts, gpcr posters. big fan of the ones for a few years where they printed the pinyin before deciding that was cringe or whateverKomradeX posted:Latest Brain in a Jar take

China is martialing its reserve pool of the unemployed in a move observers describe as "terrifying." "Can they do that?"

I think the two scripts are still like 60-70% identical, I mean there's no difference for most characters anyway, and some simplifications are pretty subtle like 说/說 where the radicals have changed but mostly to reduce strokes, making them more like handwritten form. Or you have 国 which ironically is just an alternative traditional form. Japanese uses this form for example. 云 was the original form of 雲 etc. Or handwriting forms of whole characters becoming the standard, 書 is written as 书 in cursive. Or homophones like 麵 面 where there's no ambiguity. I think characters are due for more rounds of simplification but ironically now that mainland is 95%+ literate nobody wants to change the characters anymore lol

I bet 99%+ of chinese writing is done in pinyin on electronic devices anyway. (Or, in taiwan, using zhuyin.) no body gives a poo poo. at least if you learn traditional it's easier to read simplified than the other way around.

I think simplified is better in the same sense that color is better than colour 注音 is actually better though. It's harder to see how to pronounce 行 in pinyin. Xing. Does it look like it has two 'syllables'? the zhuyin is really clear. ㄒㄧㄥˊ. but as an english speaker "xing" is easier to read cause its familiar even if 'x' has to be fundamentally relearned. Ironically taiwanese accent makes 行 sound more like what the pinyin looks like. at least to my uneducated ear.

I would say the simplification is more than simply dropping a u, but yeah, if you are going to conduct a large scale language/script reform, do it while literacy is still relatively low. Turkey and the Soviets did the same thing (obviously the changes to Russian were more minor). I mean further simplification arguably just isn’t worth the effort versus the disruption it would cause, but certainly the simplification that happened was for the better.

im cackling like a maniac that apparently theres a chinese version of dallas buyers club which inspired actual political action to solve an ongoing social issue even though the specific problem mentioned in the film had been solved a decade ago meanwhile a couple of years after liberals in the united states were jerking themselves off to how good their politics are since they watched dallas buyers club they then started jerking off to the guy who caused all the problems described in dallas buyers club as he proceeded to do them again

"a movie that delivers such scathing social commentary that it's directly attributable to triggering politicians to enact a significant material change" is the sort of thing that liberals only dream of (and indeed, keep trying to make happen), and yet...

She's in the left twittersphere that tends to intersect with the likes of the Grayzone boys, Glenn Greenwald (on foreign policy at least), the squirrel account, but has so far managed to avoid falling into nuttery as with Max Blumenthal's takes on COVID or Jimmy Dore in general. If that second sentence makes zero sense to you just ignore it and forget I said anything.
