Al-Saqr posted:has Xi Jinping ever changed the expression on his face ever, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him have any other face other than that blank smile he always had, he should learn a thing or two from Kim Jong Un and have like a million super expressive faces depending on what he’s looking at. nothing will ever top the expression of pure joy Kim Jong UN had when he was looking at goop coming out of a tube. he has three faces, neutral diplomat, happy paternal smile for state celebrations and PR visits, and disappointed dad who thinks you could have done better on that test

this allusion meant posted:he definitely has a disappointed dad look and a different actually pleased blank smile versus the politely bored blank smile. but yeah ccp leadership are famously inexpressive Jiang Zemin is a pretty expressive guy despite how much of a perfect square he is, in fact I think he was the only CCP leader I could think of who had an actual public personality who wears what he thinks on his face https://youtu.be/5GIj2BVJS2A

stephenthinkpad posted:How many of these are electric cars? I only know Chinese electric cars are making big gains in the oversea market. Haven't heard anything about the gas powered cars (old boys have too much patent protection). I’m pretty sure an electric car would have higher fuel costs than an ICE car in Saudi Arabia

Yes, western communists are idealistic, unserious, have no idea what is to be done and no path to political power. That's also you, dude. All you're doing is expressing a sentimentality online. Taiwan will only turn red with a full CPC takeover, not because you pragmatically exploited the contradictions by saying you will.

Cao Ni Ma posted:https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-china-tops-us-favorite-power-among-arabs-despite-challenges-1732321 this is because China has a much more honest relationship with Arabs than america. America will talk about human rights and democracy but arm and support the most fascist backwards dictatorships and apartheid states and they actively destroyed every single effort Arabs have had in trying to reform and transition away from fascism. at least China doesn’t pretend, they are simple, they want to sell products and don’t care who they do business with and aren’t hypocrites.

https://twitter.com/Trinhnomics/status/1557258504372625408 long thread on india's demographic timebomb. tldr, huge informal low productivity labour force, also huge levels of unemployment, and huge levels of incoming unemployment as more kids come of age, not enough jobs being produced at nearly a fast enough rate (i appreciate that this lady's proposed solution is "LESS BUREAUCRACY AND RED TAPE" yeah that'll do it lmao). this sounds like an excellent time to restart the assault on smallholding farmers, please do it Mr. Modi sir

imho with this + climate change + a government built on sectarianism india might be in for "not a good time" their economic policy seems to be built on memes. demonetizing half the currency in circulation at once, trying to emulate the chinese/vietnamese model with large "make in india" sloganeering without doing any of the things that actually made it work in china (state control of the commanding heights and intervention in the economy at will, tightly enforced capital controls, enforced knowledge transfer sharing and ensuring local stakes in MNC projects, building up their own industrial and tech giants without letting foreign companies gobble them up, etc etc etc) mila kunis has issued a correction as of 18:22 on Aug 11, 2022 |

at a functional level america is just impossible for these states with stable leadership to make deals with, since they tend to expect deals to solve things on the scale of decades but actually in two years the next administration will overturn everything and totally change their attitude, and you can’t even get a straight answer about whether this is just posturing for domestic audiences. other high turnover electoral governments know the game since they’re all constantly in this state of deals forming and collapsing but some issues just require more lasting agreements that we seem unable to make because of the incentives of our system

People always come up to me and say Mr. Bodhisattva Trump, thank you for remaining in the mortal plane to guide us to enlightenment. I wish I could give it all up, believe me! I used to have a great life sitting underneath the bodhi tree, before all this enlightenment stuff. I guess it's true what they say. It's about the journey and not the destination.
