Is there any credibility to this "Rice Theory" or is it just racism?

They determined these true facts by asking people to draw where they are in relation to their neighbors. Apparently people in the south drew them a few millimeters closer on average than people in the north so therefore rice = communal culture

This year will surely be the year the PRC economy completely melts down -forjar38, 2011-

White people's deranged hatred for china is all the more hilarious given their own odious history of settler colonialism and genocide.

I agree, the Dzungar genocide and continued occupation of Tibet and Xinjiang are pretty messed up things.

Nice whataboutism, typical from internet white males.

Nice crocodile tears for a country that America literally owned from 1898 to the 40s.

The racial insecurity is real, whites were real comfortable with asian people up until asian people started surpassing them.

China has been economically stagnant since about 2013 and is fast-tracking its way to irrelevance in the global economy.

Said an increasingly anxious white man for the 500th time.

Don't overgeneralize, Peven. Some of us feel China deserves the opportunity to catch up to our high score. :colbert:

edit: oh, sure, a lot of the technology-differential low-hanging fruit has been plucked, but with the climatepocalypse right around the corner there's a whole new batch of imperialism and atrocity ready to be had.

Hmm, was it china or the US that's run by AGW denying politicians?

This is drastically overestimating China's ability to project power.

France in 2017 still has more ability to project power than China does.

France has 4 carriers, 3 of which are helicopter, China has 1. Moreover, while China has been undergoing more and more blue-water operations, is it recognized as a blue-water navy? I know France obviously it is, but is China there yet?

France totals 10 military bases abroad: Antilles, French Guiana, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Mayotte, & Djibouti, Cote D'Ivoire, Gabon, Senegal, and the UAE. While China also has significant ground presence in Africa, it has only one facility in Djibouti and is looking to expand to Pakistan.

So when we're talking hard power and the ability to project force, it's not a controversial thing to say.

e:


probably mostly this lol

France has a bunch of bases in former colonies to keep on eye on the locals, what a droolworthy measure of power projection

France has been fighting ground wars in Africa and the Middle East for the past decade or so. China's ability to project power even into its coastal waters is still limited.


It's because France has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to project power while China hasn't.

"Neo"? Modern American liberalism was formed pretty explicitly as a project to continue the worldwide domination of free trade ideology that decolonization had threatened to end

I just appreciate the constant pot kettle attacks from smug white liberals in threads about China

China lusts for war, China has no friends, etc.:

Misleading post. Total debt hit 300% of GDP, not just public debt. Total American debt to GDP ratio is 350%
