Anyone have an overview of the ruling Maoist party in Nepal's relationship with the CPC? I'm kinda curious how the two interact since Nepal's Maoist revolution happened within the last two decades so I'm guessing there's still a lot of orthodox MLMs there. Though I imagine they can't be hostile since Nepal has been getting closer to China economically

anyone know what the future outlook on healthcare in China and Vietnam is supposed to be? Is the current privatized model supposed to be a stopgap until they can transition to a socialized system or is it supposed to just keep going like that? they do seem to be progressively improving their social services and free healthcare seems like it’d be something that would be an eventual goal if they wanted to beat living standards in the rest of Asia and a pretty unambiguous step forward from an ideological perspective

gradenko_2000 posted:the surge in that particular genre of Western porn is mostly up to the fetish of a specific oligarch that owns large swathes of the porn industry huh, really? I assumed there was some kinda algorithm gently caress up that lead to them getting a bizarre number of views and all the companies then trying to get on the bandwagon. like with those AI generated YouTube kids videos where frozen characters get caesareans or whatever

anyone remember when baizuo was the right’s word of the day bc they thought they could find common ground with Chinese netizens? I wonder how that’s going nowadays considering even if Chinese nationalists can be socially conservative they despise Americans talking poo poo about China most of all, and especially Americans blaming China for their own failings it feels a lot of the vaguely pro Trump Chinese people have swapped to “haha look at how stupid Trump and America is with covid” or “gently caress America for pushing the lab leak theory”

I thought Genghis khan was viewed fairly positively in China since the line is that he’s a cultural hero of the Mongols and since Mongols are part of the multicultural Chinese nation, he’s also a Chinese hero. at least that’s the reasoning all the Chinese people I know who consider genghis to be Chinese is

Ardennes posted:From what I have read/seen discussed, I doubt young people in China as a whole are as pessimistic about their prospects as young people in US. The closet parallel would probably be in first tier cities where affordability is much more of an issue. yeah I don’t think you see the kind of pessimism among young Chinese people that you see in the US. I think the big reason is bc if you’re a Chinese in your 20s, you will have seen pretty massive improvements to your standards of living within your lifetime, and no sign that the trend will stop anytime soon. Lot of Chinese people who come to the US are taken aback by how old and decrepit infrastructure and the like are since over in China there’s a constant feeling of development

where did the thing about American millennials “idolizing” China come from? if anything the overall mood towards China even in leftist spaces has gotten way more hostile vs the Obama era, when China at least among mainstream liberal opinion was seen as something America could get along with the only people I’ve seen become more positive towards china are some Chinese Americans, mostly bc Trump really ramped up the witch-hunts against Chinese American scientists and engineers and Biden hasn’t let up, which has disillusioned a lot of the standard democrats who assumed that Biden would be less racist since he was a democrat and would go back to the Obama era status quo. that Covid has been pretty much over for a year until the new delta outbreak for their relatives in China might have helped too FrancisFukyomama has issued a correction as of 14:21 on Aug 3, 2021 |

Lostconfused posted:Since this stupid topic comes up everywhere in this forum, I'll just quote myself huh, that’s surprising, my bad then. pressure on Chinese Americans has been going up since trump between the rash of hate crimes and fbi harassment of professors so I figured that accompanied an overall increase in anti China sentiment. the Chinese American communities have been feeling a lot less secure than they were 10 years ago with pretty much everyone experiencing at least some level of harassment under Covid

What’s with CPP vs CPC? Anti China people seem to go out of their way to use the former even though it seems like the latter is the official translation? Is it just one of those petty “I’m gonna call it the DemoCRAT party” things but for libs

stephenthinkpad posted:Vietnam is actually running very "China like" quarantine procedures. I can see China use some of these procedure if infection goes to the next stage. A lot of factories have to set up indoor tents to house the factory workers. And the workers have to eat and sleep inside the factory, no going home allowed. I did see a thread about how the factory workers at least only stay in the tents if they volunteer for the extended shifts and get paid overtime for it, which while not ideal is probably better than the US just forcing everyone back to work with no compensation or measures in place

There was a tweet I saw earlier about the video game ban that was like “kids can’t play video games, follow their favorite idols or ship characters now, what are they supposed to do in their free time?” And someone replied “hang out with friends or go out to play?” And the op went “this is the most american tweet ever, you have no idea what life is like in communist China” hosed up that hanging out and playing outside are banned in China

didn’t part of the reason we ate poo poo in Vietnam was bc McCarthyism purged all our Asia experts for communist sympathies for saying things like “the KMT seem like gently caress ups” or “Ho Chi Minh is kicking france’s rear end” I wonder if the FBI/CIA cracking down on Chinese american scientists had an impact on them not having anyone who can read Chinese and know science

I wonder if what Xi did to tencent and the private tutoring industry would have triggered capital flight 15 years ago It seems like a lot of american investors are pissed but with how much weaker america is now and how much of a smaller portion of investment is actually from out of country there’s not much they can do about it I guess that’s the stated point of dengism, waiting until your economy is strong enough that the west can’t push you around to start renationalizing things

Antonymous posted:Mao was actually a moderate who was more into class rehabilitation whereas the leadership in Shanghai wanted much more bloodshed before Mao&Zhou became defacto communist leadership iirc were those the same Shanghai anarchists that declared a Shanghai commune/autonomous zone for like one month during the cultural revolution that mao then defused by going “hey that’s pretty cool, why don’t you guys set up a task force to formalize your demands” and caused to immediately turn back into an ML bureaucracy like Obama killing the NBA strike
