You can tell that whoever was writing the civlopedia was annoyed thoughquote:A creative and innovative people, China has given the world some of the most important inventions in history, including paper, gunpowder, the compass, and movable type. (This section is mandatory whenever Chinese history is discussed, in case you were wondering. It's a law.)

Unfortunately this is hardly the first time something like this happened. The Rwandan Genocide was full of accounts of UN peacekeepers either quitting the field/running away, or straight up palling around with the perpetrators Most UN peacekeepers are sent by poor shitholes for some easy cash

You are babbling utter rubbish. Chinese gaokao is not perfect but it is still a way to test students. I went through it ages ago and I enjoyed it. What Chinese education got to do with you? Your referenced Tiananmen square rioting in 1989 is foreign agent inspired and fostered regime change gone bad with those on "hunger strike" to take orders from their foreign handlers some of whom were also mixed in the group. Thus the negotiation results always accepted by front line hunger strikers and then rejected by their handlers after consultation. No wonder nothing would be good enough unless Chinese authorities were to clear their desk in an instant which is of course not going to happen. Hence full scale rioting with scores of security guards and public members being killed by those rioters and vehicles and busses were set on fire. Within minutes of forceful clearance those chief rioters disappeared to a triad run boats and hours later they are all landed in USA with shiny suits and polished shoes to promise to their masters to take China in next fiver years. When come to think about it you lot anti-China thugs, the foreign agent inspired regime change fanatics are really a bunch of corrupt, mind-numbing and mind-closing working blindly for the payment as burdened by American tax payers. Colour revolution may bring opportunity for looting, stealing and grabbing but it is nonetheless had its day. It is miles better to ear your honest living with your useful contribution to the society you live in. To get a real job cannot be that difficult even in such challenging times.

fish and chips and dip posted:Ah yes, Gordon Chang, he's been predicting that China will collapse "in two years" since 1994, not to say that the Chinese economy is doing great, just that his predictions have more often than not been quite a bit off. Chang's only real mistake was predicting a sudden collapse and saying it would happen "by year x" which is the exact same mistake as the "Chinese century China to overtake America by 2020" folks made, just on the opposite side of the spectrum He's been pretty consistently correct in identifying the weakness of Chinese fundamentals but that's led to stagnation rather than an outright collapse

fish and chips and dip posted:Nationalism and censorship can only take the CCP so far, as money trumps everything here. When people lose money (especially in the real estate market) there will be riots, at first nationalism can divert the rage towards Japan, Korea or the US but only for so long. The interesting thing here is the PLA, several of my wife's friends are married to PLA guys, and they would obviously massively lose out as well during a collapse, and who knows where their allegiance truly lies, to the party or to the money. It's to the money hth Patriotic zeal will only carry you so far if you don't have any money to live on

hemophilia posted:Isn't the phillipines kind of a big deal strategically for the US? I give the Chinese stooge a few hoyrs after clinton is sworn in that a kill or coup order is given. Like lol if the Philippines thinks it has the ability to realign itself internationally The Philippines are strategically useful because they are part of the first island chain that stops China from being able to freely break out into the Western pacific and because they host US bases on the SCS. If Duterte goes full retard and tears up the treaty and kicks out the US bases it will be a strategic headache to be sure, but it won't fundamentally alter the balance of power in the region because the Guam-Okinawa-Taiwan defense triangle still exists, the Philippines are still wired with undersea sensors monitored by the US and Japan, and Vietnam is still aligning even more closely with the US. That's one of the reasons that Duterte is so stupid. Even if the sole thing he cared about more than anything in the world was ruining the US's day he still doesn't do that with this, all it is is one of the greatest self-owns in international history.
