Dropping Kwame Nkruma on redditors is a powerful flex. I have enough trouble just trying to get people to read Fanon.

I kind of laughed when i read that story of an Indian not trusting a Chinese story at all. I think it has to do with Chinese media/governmental accounts has different ways of leak out the actually bad news and bad stat and its very alien to people outside of Mainland. For example, its common to Hong Kongers or Taiwanese not understanding how to read the mainland news and just pick out the rumor or made up stuff from Falun Gong. I give you an example of a bad news that the local Chinese government actually considered really bad. The Henan flash flood from last year. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Henan_floods The death number took a long time to come out. That's when you know the things looked bad and people speculated that there were unaccounted for bodies that the city gave them to the surrounding towns to report. You would think its was a weird thing for the local government officials to freak out over, given it was a freak act of nature. But this is not how the civilians inside China think. Because the government is supposed to have control over disaster. The government is supposed to know how to deal with mother nature. And in this sudden disaster the government completely lost control for the first day. This is when the state censoring mechanism ran on full speed to make sure people don't talk about it too much online. There are other examples, like that news of a few women got beat up inside a restaurant in Tanshan. You would think how is this accident even news, but no, I assume you it was mega news inside China.

I think it's as simple as, any government in the world will lie about anything for their own reasons but we're propagandized to think state enemies are particularly nefarious. China is only seen as particularly inscrutable because their spin is always under an extraordinary amount of scrutiny. If they were as threatening as, say Jamaica, then hardly anyone would care.

What's so crazy is even if you believe that North Korea is an authoritarian dystopia, that makes it the perfect place to enforce strict Covid protocols. Really drives home how inconsistent the liberals are.

I packed up my Huawei P40 last year and was going to sell it. But i cracked my realme phone screen recently so I dig it back up and use it as my 2nd phone. The one inch camera is still top tier. It's interesting to see how Huawei figuring out different ways to get around the google ban. Last year, their solution was offer a default search bar that let you search the 3rd party apk sites and install the apps apk yourself. Most google app work but the login didn't working. This year, they you install a virtualization layer called gspace. You can run all google apps and download the play store apps seamlessly with working login. All my youtube and gmap bookmarks work. Only penalty is the app launch takes 1 second longer and the play store doesn't seem to remember your paid history. Of course Huawei doesn't tell you who make the vm machine and officially you can't install gspace if you are in the US.

In August 2007 a complaint of judicial misconduct was filed against him with the Tenth Circuit and an investigation started that included two hearings over the course of a year; the complaint concerned allegations that he had spent thousands of dollars at a strip club.[13][14] Over the course of the year he was also named as a figure in an investigation into a prostitution ring, in which a prostitute said that he had asked her to mislead investigators.[15][16] He resigned from the bench on October 21, 2008,[15] and the misconduct charges were dismissed, as he was no longer a judge.[17]

AnimeIsTrash posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/comments/wv04b9/ama_the_chinese_social_imperialists_are_building/ quote:I have actually met with some younger, more enthusiastic party members in the capital. It was a luncheon for those who shared a common ideology. Anyway, this new generation of party members is different from the sclerotic old bureaucrats of the Deng era. Xi Jinping casts a long shadow, and newer cadres of party members genuinely seem more ideologically motivated and far less corrupt than the first wave that came in the 90s. Many see the modernization of Africa as essential to bringing about world socialism, or at least protecting Chinese socialism, if we are being purely cynical. They see it as their sacred duty to the revolution, and their homeland to bring about development and industrialization in Africa, which Marxist theory teaches us will lead to socialism in Africa. this is cool and lines up with my experience, younger people tend to be a lot more ideological and have genuine commitments though of course there are still people who've drunk the liberalism kool-aid

China needs African laborers to take on the burden of industrial labors which will free up the Chinese economy to pursue higher value capital goods. You can argue over whether that's cynical or ideological, but the real world consequence is an industrializing Africa which can get on a path towards poverty reduction if not elimination.

No EU nation did this, although Ghana's complaints about this issue were sent out universally. China is building steel mills, aluminum plants, hospitals, and schools. The EU is building car only speedways in high end areas, shopping malls, luxury car factories, and chocolate processing mills. quote:I mean they really are following in the footsteps of the old Soviet tech we used to get. I remember T-34s with no turrets just being used as farm vehicles until, well now probably, they're still probably in use up North. But for example, I have a Toyota, but its a Frankenstein car with a Chinese diesel engine in it. Basically if anything falls off the engine I just reattach it with chicken wire or electrical tape. You can put mud in the radiator of a Chinese truck and then drive it across the desert, it'll be back to new after a quick flush. I know this because when I bought my car some shithead had very clearly filled the radiator with muddy puddle water, somewhere along its over land trek from Egypt to Ghana. And I've seen Chinese vehicles coming in from Burkina Faso with holes shot in them, they're fine too. You used to see a lot of old European trucks, from West and Eastern blocs, but then the Eastern bloc collapsed, and European motor companies started purpose building vehicles to poo poo the bed after a few years, and needs lots of in house (proprietary) maintenance. For a while it was all Toyota and Indian brands, but now it is a pretty even split between Chinese, Korean, and Indian heavy vehicles on the road. A lot of people also drive American or European personal cars, but frankly a lot of those are just stolen overseas and come in through Togo free port.
