mila kunis posted:the private tuition industry is a cancer and a massive part of richer kids having the resources to win out. beating it down doesn't solve the primary issue but it's a massive step that none of the other countries with the same issue (south korea, india) are taking so its amusing to see righties trying to play it down. It absolutely does, not because private tutors and schools are necessarily better than public ones but they become elite networks used to exclude the poor. Those who pay for "superior education" will be more easily accepted to prestigious and powerful universities because of "networking".

Wait, you can't speak any Chinese language on a Chinese app? And the only users they could find were in America? That sounds like it was developed for a foreign market and it just never made it there.

shrike82 posted:that's true, now apply the same logic to China If China did nearly as poorly as the united states, there would be literal piles of corpses to dispose of. In proportion, it would be a causality count around 3-4 million. There would be absolutely no way to hide those numbers. In New York, the morgues and hospitals were overflowing such that they were digging mass grave. They were storing corpses in freezer trucks and running out of freezer trucks. If that poo poo had happened in China, in the age of the camera phone, there'd be pictures.

The point being: NYC was still dealing with all the bodies a year later. There's no way in hell China could just hide millions of corpses.

LimburgLimbo posted:Basically the facility was created during the peak and stuck around, as a place to store more unclaimed bodies instead of being so quick to put them into the Hart Island graves, presumably especially given that where normally people could travel with more ease to identify or deal with unclaimed/unidentified bodies, COVID made that more difficult or dangerous. You're framing this as though they're still not able to handle the number of bodies when that isn't the case (at least for now; could need the capacity at some point with Delta) and they're just continuing to use a facility that they made during the emergency period, with plans to close it soon. Wow, those first two sentences. And you should reread what I said: quote:The point being: NYC was still dealing with all the bodies a year later. None of which conflicts with your AP source from 2 months later. It still took about a year to handle all the bodies, which were still in freezer trucks in May 2021. HTH.

I would also assume that the cost of the American vaccines also factors into it. It would be a smart move on China's part to supply vaccines for cost or even free to assert dominance.

quote:The AP was unable to confirm or disprove Wu’s account independently, and she could not pinpoint the exact location of the black site. However, reporters have seen and heard corroborating evidence including stamps in her passport, a phone recording of a Chinese official asking her questions and text messages that she sent from jail to a pastor helping the couple. Oh good! They can track her phone!

LimburgLimbo posted:I pretty clearly didn't take it at face value and couched it with "maybe" "claimed" etc. Given circumstances (timing et al) it wouldn't be that outlandish if it were an intentional leak but we don't and can't know. Also doesn't make his actions less boneheaded and I'm not sure why you're focusing in on that specific aspect of it; the reason I didn't add more specific context or clarity to that is because whether the source is a leak or not isn't that material. Could you make your point in just two or three sentences because from the outside I have no loving clue what you're talking about. Like, do you believe there is Chinese influence in domestic policy? Is this somehow different than the ways other countries use espionage or bribery in their foreign influence?
