Tweet does reflect why youth unemployment is a concern for the CPC even if a lot of other indicators are healthy atm: small absolute number of jobs generated in manufacturing because of heavy utilization of automation. A large number of graduates finishing tertiary education on a yearly basis, the types of jobs those graduates will prefer, and heavy use of automation in all economic sectors from resource to industry to services creates a contradiction where the number of good jobs is smaller than the graduating class every year.

The West overcame it through embracing disease ala the cult of nurgle and by creating underpaid gig work among others. I have hope that the CPC will show a new way to overcome this.

Someguy TT that show's writing isn't really that out of line on Washington's attitudes toward Pakistan both at that time and right now. But keep watching and tell us what the Hilary wannabe show think about China.

As soon as the US announced leaving Afghanistan they gave signals that there is going to be a new relationship between the US and Pakistan because they don't need to lease the military airports in Pakistan anymore.

Also watched out when Pakistan started fielding Chinese planes (J10c or J11 a couple years ago, I don't remember), that's basically the time Pakistan knew they weren't going to get anymore F16 from the US so switched the entire military procurement to China. Really right now the only relationship between Pakistan and the West is (trying to) borrow more money from the IMF every other year that's about it.

it'd probably help if the zoo didn't release a statement from the bear

quote:

In a statement published on Sunday from the perspective of Angela, a Malaysian sun bear, zookeepers at Hangzhou zoo said: “When it comes to bears, the first thing that comes to mind is a huge figure and amazing power … But not all bears are behemoths and danger personified. We Malayan bears are petite, the smallest bear in the world.”

I think China should just do the adult thing and admit their bears are people in consumes. I think everyone might be taken aback but in the end we would respect their maturity and growth.

Like, we spill a lot of ink over Chinese aircraft cutting a corner over the Taiwanese ADIZ, which isn't even their airspace, legally speaking, but the bin Laden just had a bunch of Blackhawks flying directly over Pakistani territory without their permission.

hard to feel any sympathy for them, they just let bin laden hang out like that. it would have put a real hamper on the war on terror if they just turned him over after tora bora.
