maintaining a secret list of troublemakers who are forbidden from boarding an airplane and sabotaging food and water supplies for migrants is kinda like shooting people for crossing a militarized border if you think about it

A bunch of right wing rags and western china watchers seem to think the Three Gorges dam is in imminent danger of collapsing from all the flooding currently happening, and have apparently kept this up for weeks now

NaanViolence posted:I lived in Wuhan for years. It's just downriver of the Three Gorges Dam. Holy poo poo does it rain there! I was thinking since there was already a giant dam collapse in the 80s that killed a hundred thousand people, which happened before construction at three gorges ever started, that they'd be particularly keen on not having that happen again

What is the difference between an authoritarian state and a state which permits and encourages non-state entities to control peoples' lives in an authoritarian manner with a thin legal veneer to justify it

Atrocious Joe posted:Ukraine relying on China for vaccines seems like a major misstep by NATO countries in the first place. Isn't this a country they are supposed to be wooing? They have been attempting to woo it by sponsoring the nazi faction in a proxy war against Russia so it's not surprising the Ukrainians would seek a third option

do we even know what the russian objective or intention is here, like are they doing an iraq war occupation and replacement of government or are they just going to annex the russian speaking regions and gently caress off? I haven't heard anything from them beyond putin saying occupation wasn't on the table in the war declaration, and it's not like that means anything

Al-Saqr posted:Decapitate the government, put in a puppet state, negotiate a demilitarization and perpetual neutrality treaty with Ukraine, land bridge from russia to crimea. This really doesn't seem feasible unless they're planning on hanging around to fight all the nazi insurgents and also regular insurgents which seems like a bad move strategically

tmfc posted:someone post a succinct debunking of the existence of the ghost of kyiv thanks the only evidence that anyone has that this guy exists is a bunch of separate videos of a mig-29 flying around kiev. the myth assumes that 6 separate kills across the entire war, which were all of the confirmed kills of russian fighters on the first day of the war, were attributed to the same guy, which is slightly insane

Endman posted:The anti-nuclear movement, and to a greater extent the shape it takes, in the West is mostly a direct result of Western media reporting on the Chernobyl disaster. It was an incredible media coup to have such a great example of the narrative they'd been trying to reinforce for decades that "everything socialism tries to do turns to garbage, unlike successful, clean, efficient American capitalism Germany's anti-nuclear popular movements predate Chernobyl, the short story is that the boomer hippie student movements in the 60s and 70s were much further removed from the civil rights and Vietnam war stuff that catalyzed american protests so it manifested as a general anti-Cold War (opposition to the US stationing nuclear missiles in their country, go figure) and environmentalism there was a lot of energy in this already and they were protesting construction of new plants as early as 1973 - when Chernobyl happened, it basically proved all these people right, as far as the germans were concerned. I'm guessing there was quite a lot of old money invested into oil and coal pushing this sentiment as well but that's a lot harder to find sources for https://www.cleanenergywire.org/dossiers/history-energiewende quote:The origins of the Energiewende are diverse, but one potent stimulus was West Germany’s powerful movements – known as the New Social Movements (NSM) – that gathered steam across the 1970s in the wake of the late 1960s’ student rebellion.

it's basically spelling out in the terms there that you'd be agreeing to be a US resource colony and do whatever we say. why the gently caress would any nation agree to this given a choice lmao (1) to mobilize private capital in support of sustainable, broad-based economic growth, poverty reduction, and development through demand-driven partnerships with the private sector that further the foreign policy interests of the United States (3) to help private sector actors overcome identifiable market gaps and inefficiencies without distorting markets  (6) to provide countries a robust alternative to state-directed investments by authoritarian governments and United States strategic competitors using high standards of transparency and environmental and social safeguards, and which take into account the debt sustainability of partner countries; (8) to complement and be guided by overall United States foreign policy, development, and national security objectives, taking into account the priorities and needs of countries receiving support. please join our anti china coalition we will get your goods and you'll get democracy and freedom

Cpt_Obvious posted:At some point they're going to learn that nobody cares about US sanctions anymore because US exports are pretty laughable. US actually exports a lot of agricultural products because we've made it very legal and very cool to drill a well half a mile into the earth to suck out the ten million year aquifer water for short term profit but uh between that stuff and repeated fertilizer overuse turning the soil into dust that'll only be good for another 20 years at most, probably better to diversify now

indigi posted:it’s strange to assert that “the masses” have strongly - or even moderately - conflicting desires, especially to the extent that by doing anything to address one the state would be creating or worsening another it makes complete sense when assessed through the lens of angloid politics, whose masses are only concerned with which minorities need their rights taken away next

the reason he's being executed (murdered a chinese woman he was dating) seems important enough to be headline worthy but what do I know also lol at this quote from an unsourced amnesty international page quote:For 2020, there were at least 483 executions in 18 nations, a tally that would be higher if it included "the thousands of executions believed to have been carried out in China."

the price of opening her up is that a substantial underclass of immunocompromised people, their friends and families, and a whole lot of people just vaguely anxious about getting covid in general have completely dropped out of the service economy. they can't work those jobs and won't go to those places anymore so that much less economic activity is happening, replaced with people doing ubereats and instacart and amazon and so on the chinese alternative of just operating normally and then locking down for a few weeks twice a year or so is far less damaging to the metrics capitalist economies rely on, but that also requires centralized coordination (bad) and telling people to stop doing stuff (Venezuela communism 100 million iphone) so that is not an option. the actual logic of deciding which one works better was never in play

Antonymous posted:I'm really scratching my head as to what chinese films are doing better than hollywood's not doing better, are better. they don't really put any effort into translating and pushing this stuff internationally as far as i can tell, with a few notable exceptions, so it's really easy to miss. the Battle of Lake Changjin about a crew of goofy dudes doing brutal videogame takedowns of orc US marines in the korean war is a notable one, and Legend of Deification/investiture of the gods is a really good looking animated film that actually got a pretty good english dub somehow. not to mention all the crazy kung fu/wuxia movies hong kong has been putting out for decades but I don't know if those are an entirely different film ecosystem or what
