The think tank world is how much "PR coin" you can generate in the western media circle/award circle

In Korea, Yoon is trying to fast track and bury the investigations into his wife for the gifted handbag, and also the stock price manipulation in the most subtle and innocent ways possible.quote:All the high-level prosecutors charged with investigating the first lady were essentially demoted to trivial posts, professionally exiled [Editorial] Transfers of prosecutors investigating Korea’s first lady send chilling message quote:As soon as prosecutors’ investigation into South Korean first lady Kim Keon-hee began in earnest, the top brass within the prosecution service was switched out. The prosecutors within the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office who were heading the investigations into Kim’s acceptance of a luxury handbag and her alleged stock manipulation involving Deutsch Motors have both been replaced. Also, the newly appointed chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office exemplifies the appointment of the president’s allies to positions of power. Both the timing and the nature of these personnel shakeups demonstrate clear intentions to block the investigations into the first lady.

China cheated by having properly run industrial policies, it's not fair for us who are forbidden to have industrial policies by our capital class overlord. BTW we also have ineffective industrial policy in semiconductor but it only serves the purpose of sending free money to intel. Pay no attention to our National Security Adviser who gave a talk recently and declared the US needs to have industrial policies to compete. It's too much of an ideological abyss to overcome in our legislative branch.

Well you usually can find a less obvious excuse to stop the competition like Europe is doing with this new "carbon footprint tax" concept. But it needs a couple year to ramp up the consensus and complex rules that only benefit the local vendors, and the US didn't have time to do it with an excuse. Also can't do with it the "price fixing" anti competition law suit like they did against Japanese LCD because Chinese EV aren't even in the US. So tariff it is. BTW I think the logic of the 100% tariff is that they can use it to force EU with a high tariff, like "look we impose 100%, you have to impose at least 50%" this is where the actual battleground is. It's going to be interesting to see how much tariff EU will impose under the US pressure.

It will be interesting to see how far this deglobalization goes. Will Zambia be forced to mainly trade with one country or the other? Will the Philippines? I don't see how this ends without China becoming the next global superpower though. Their state planning works, and has worked extremely well for the past few decades, while in the West all that people know how to do is strip the wires from the walls. It's wild

Mantis42 posted:i got to experience the money burning thing when i was with my gf's family in rural yunnan during the spring festival. she grew up in a prison because her dad was a guard. the prison's long been shut down but some of the employee families still live on the grounds of the otherwise abandoned administrative complex and do subsistence farming. her dad, for instance, grew mint for the market and raised chickens (i had to hold a chicken my first day there while he drained the blood from it via it's neck. i thought it was dead until it suddenly revived. i dropped it like a bitch and it knocked over the blood bowl, ran around a bunch with it's head dangling nearly off, then dropped dead), among other things. anyways, we went out to the mound where her grandma was buried, in the middle of some field the prisoners would have worked back in the day, and what they do is they clear all the grass and weeds off with a scythe, burn some incense, burn some of that paper money, lay out some food and alcohol for her and so on. they also burn some stuff for a local mountain goddess that also has a shrine there. very interesting to see up close, but gently caress was it cold and the house didn't have any kind of heating. spent the entire time doing chores, it's not as fun as stardew valley makes it look. cool story ty for sharing

Had a friend talk about how the CPC has done very little to expand social welfare despite massive growth in wealth. For you folks with more direct experience, is that just a general slowdown due to the rising of the standard of living? Last I checked China has a growing life expectancy.
