“There’s this siege mentality on the part of Xi Jinping that says, ‘I need to be strong [and] make the country strong because China has been abused,’” said Nathan, the Columbia University professor. “He doesn’t trust the middle class, he doesn’t trust the entrepreneurs, he doesn’t trust careerist members of his own political party and he doesn’t trust people who advise him that the United States would be willing to coexist [with China].”

quote:

Last year, Xi launched an “anti-inequality campaign” calling on China’s wealthiest to “give back to society more.” That has stalled the sector’s growth as Chinese tech megafirms such as Tencent and Alibaba have donated billions of dollars to common prosperity initiatives to demonstrate corporate submission to Xi’s economic agenda.

Xi aims to ease the pain for Chinese consumers by pouring the money from those tech donors and additional state funds into a program to provide social welfare benefits for lower income citizens. But his strategy is centered around state-owned industries burdened with poor management practices and an overreliance on subsidies.

god just imagine if any Western government was able to bully tech companies into funding billions of dollars of social welfare benefits

President Xi, my people cry out for freedom. Please send J-20s

Who exactly is the target audience of articles like "China hates entrepeneurs and forced tech giants to give up billions of profits to help on social welfare and alleviate poverty" , because everytime I read these I go "hell yeah" but they seem to imply that it's a bad thing?

Here's to the new us.
Maybe the US should actually demonstrate a willingness to co-exist with a powerful China, maybe then Xi wouldn't correctly identify pro-West Party members as huge loving dipshits.

isn’t the Han “ethnicity” (an ethnicity of peoples speaking diverse mutually unintelligible languages) as made up as the White race? it’s just too late to get into it now so minorities get Otherized in exchange for special protections at the cost of having to wear traditional clothes and dance all the time.

afaik this is basically right. most of my grandparents all spoke a different dialect but none counted as an official ethnic minority

counterpoint: the Han are so inherently superior that Malaysia has affirmative action for the Malay majority lest the Han citizens control the entire economic sector
