The best way to protect your bag is to make it look like it will be annoying and to break into, they usually don't have a lot of time. So unless your bag is misrouted (thus lying somewhere for long-ish time), they will likely select some easier bag.

I mean, even the old systems are better than anything in the US, but I don't think you're going to get blown away by Beijing and Shanghai. And the high speed rail is ridiculously awesome , at least if you really comprehend just how much distance you are travelling.

Yeah the sensation of high-speed rail is an odd experience, because it feels like you’re barely moving but the scenery is a blur. The average aircraft is bumpier than a bullet train.

I wouldn't call the subways high tech, they're like any other subway except with giant lines because there's security theater to enter. They're mostly recent construction which might be easy to confuse with high tech. All the new subways look identical to each other since they all just use the same parts/trains/building methods/etc, which is a smart way to save money.

This is a long shot but does anyone have that photo of Li Keqiang at some fancy conference where he's in front of this huge Yellow River wall painting and it looks like he's standing before the realm of The Whizzard?

I did some more searching, and I think it was this painting but he was standing right in front of it with no photographers blocking the view. Oh well.

Xi's visit to the US is really interesting when one compares it to the last visit. The article breaks it down pretty well. One thing they don't really unpack is the belligerent attitude China has projected outward and general negative sentiment much of the world has of China as a result. Personally I think Xi may understand that wolf warrior diplomacy may be backfiring. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-67423040

Beijing has complained vociferously about the US imposing tariffs on Chinese imports, blacklisting Chinese companies, and restricting China's access to advanced chip-making tech.

Why are dictators so fussy about being labeled as such? Like Xi has clearly had a singular goal of becoming more of a mao style supreme leader without the checks and balances previous leaders have had in china. He wants to be a dictator and love it. Why not own his success?

democratically elected people have a gigantic lump of political legitimacy dumped in their lap by the election, so they dont have to be as nuts about legitimacy as dictators and kings do lots of legitimacy is about seeming. gotta have a crown. gotta have that dictator bling. gotta have your 6 foot tall honor guard (of women, in gaddafis case). gotta have the nice parades of your death squads and missiles. ironically, in a certain zeitgeist, gotta declare yourself a democratic peoples republic bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Nov 16, 2023 |
