how is the Chinese state responding to the extreme heatwaves they've been enduring in terms of long-term adjustments in their cities?

So this happened https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202208230001 Suspect who killed 2 police arrested after manhunt Here is the gist. I am prarapharing it from different Chinese articles. Guy got 8 year for robbery. Got transferred to a minimal security prison after 1 year. He escaped and stab 2 cops to dead when he got questioned by the cops (no shot were fired even though the cops had guns. This is not US remember) There is other juicy detail like his mom was living with somebody and cut his penis off and was on the run for 8 years etc. What's interesting is this minimal security prison, it's a different word in Taiwan (外役监）, it's a lot more lax than the US "minimal security prison". There is no wall. It's basically a farm you work on. You rest in the weekends and you get to go home during national holidays. You just have to come back to the prison after the vacation. What other countries have super chill prison like this?

 PGH is the Philippine General Hospital, and "sino po bang binoto nyo?" translates to "well, who did you vote for?" ever since the elections, the liberals have been on a tear with adopting this mentality - "I'm not going to donate to charities anymore, because a Marcos supporter might get it" - "we need to set-up some kind of system so that Marcos supporters can't receive aid after typhoons" - "if you help former VP Robredo's NGO, the government is just going to take all the credit for it" - "since they voted for Marcos, they should ask for help from him!" - "I'm done trying to help people - these people need to experience 'tough love' and feel the consequences of their actions" a recurring phrase is "ginusto nyo yan", which translates to "you wanted this" it's sickening, and it sucks, and it's just people feeling entitled to tapdance over the suffering of others

gradenko_2000 posted:- "I'm not going to donate to charities anymore, because a Marcos supporter might get it" Did someone plug Serbia and Philippines into the same reality generator or something? I swear, a lot of your posts about your country make me go "well doesn't that sound familiar" regarding mine, sometimes present, sometimes past. (And the ones that don't sound familiar do end up sounding familiar a few years later)

I tend to think that countries and societies and our respective experiences within them tend to be more similar than we realize, especially under the broad swath of all of them being capitalist societies (or even are also developing nations) like, I imagine most Filipinos would think that "vote-buying" is a uniquely Filipino political practice, or at least is a thing that's been eliminated in other more developed countries, and yet when I was reading that book about Ukraine, it said: quote:as of 2010, a quarter of its population struggled below the poverty line, while the wealth of fifty oligarchs equaled nearly half of the country’s GDP, and they owned most of the major media channels.⁴ One in five Ukrainians told a 2010 survey they were willing to sell their vote.⁵ and boy doesn't that sound familiar?

What other countries have super chill prison like this? It sounds like something half way between probation and jail, which afaik has no parallel in the west. Norway is infamous for having those swanky prisons that are exactly like any small town, but they're also on an island so you can't leave. gradenko_2000 posted:I tend to think that countries and societies and our respective experiences within them tend to be more similar than we realize, especially under the broad swath of all of them being capitalist societies (or even are also developing nations) A lot of what you're describing sounds like petit bourgeois arrogance, which anybody would be familiar with. Liberals have a right to rule expectation because they're hegemonic globally, so it naturally makes sense that they ought to be in charge all the time. Then they can blame all your country's problems on the masses being too backwards or reactionary instead of investigating their own political failures.

my dad posted:I've mostly stopped posting in this thread since it shifted its focus, but I'll note that this is... kind of how things are in Serbia, too, although while the online aspect of it is just as USA focused, the super land of perfect everything is usually the EU. After the collapsing my country to levels not seen since we were at war, there's still people who genuinely think the ideal would be for Germans and French to take over the government since they're clearly more enlightened and developed and we only failed in austerity because it was practiced by dirty natives. AnimeIsTrash posted:I think debt trap notions regarding China have been thoroughly debunked but is some more good stuff. I love the comments. Rubbish. You must have got your translation wrong. China forgives nothing...ever. Redo your translation, read the fine print in these contracts before you misprint this rubbish. Remember the Uyghurs, Taiwan and Solomon islands and Tiananmen square. Look at their call in of debts around the world. China DO NOT do anything for unselfish reasons. Most likely, it is part of the policy to present themselves as nice guys to the West. China is going through the 2nd cultural revolution under Xi Jinping. It is the responsibilty of every democratically minded person to question China's motives and resist their insidious tactics.

My expert opinion is that most of the modern cities dwellers share pretty similar living experience. It's like using a $200 smartphone and a $800 smartphone from the same model year, the number difference look big but actual difference is pretty small.

Stuff like this is always so funny to me. There is obvious return in investment for China, but the most part countries get a bunch of money for infrastructure without any of the austerity or other bullshit that the IMF imposes. When the only 2 deals on the table are China and the IMF. It's incredibly easy to see why countries pick China almost every time.

Last year (or the year before I can't remember lol) when the pandemic was at its peak in India one of my coworker friends had just got off the phone with one of our colleagues in Hyderabad and felt compelled to come over to my desk to talk about how bad it was then he said "and you know it's way worse on China but they're just not telling us." After some back and forth and me saying something like "dude they couldn't just hide that lmao that's ridiculous" he was like "of course they're lying the Chinese lie about EVERYTHING." He was enraged and it was bizarre.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/comments/wv04b9/ama_the_chinese_social_imperialists_are_building/ Some guy on the TrueAnon subreddit (yes I know it's reddit) did an ama about Chinese development in Ghana. quote:The uncles are so goddamn pissed off about that. Three of them are construction workers, for years one would go and sign in the others for the day, and they would rotate who works. The Chinese don't allow this for some reason. Probably because they don't want their projects to be bloated costly debt traps.

If you are on good behavior and are showing reform you can work outside but have to report to prison after work hours with more generous family visits (as in you can visit your family for a fortnight every once in a while)

Dear God that sounds amazing. Here's hoping Africa and everywhere else china invests are able to accomplish cool stuff too. Despite us having pillaged the while world for the lions share of a century I don't think we've ever really benefited as much as we could from everyone else being prosperous too.

North Korea claims to have covid under control again and afaik they're still pursueing zero covid as policy. So if you believe them (and boy isn't that a big if) North Korea is literally a better place to live than the rest of the world except China when it comes to covid. But you know, these exact same things as those comments on China is what I've been told my entire life about North Korea and it is the biggest of taboo's to question that. So who is to say what is reality? My main point here is that it seems to be that the objective of western capital and it's owned media is to copy the narrative they have so succesfully pushed about North Korea onto China. That is, "You can never trust a word they say as they constantly lie and oppress their own people in the most total and brutal of ways, so you can't even trust any Chinese people because they just say poo poo out of fear for what will happen to them/their families". In fact, the only sources you can trust on China is western sources. And let me tell you, China so very bad." Orange Devil has issued a correction as of 16:45 on Aug 23, 2022 |
