lobster shirt posted:forget where i read this but the moonie church really hates japanese people, to the point of deliberately matching them internationally with spouses known to be abusive, essentially forcing japanese people to move countries where they'll be totally isolated and living with an abuser. not good! It really is curious that there's this constant connection between Korea and the assassination of Japanese prime ministers.

Marzzle posted:what does this thread think of biden trying to resume cabinet level talks (halted in 2018 under trump from what I can tell but maybe it happened after that) with china? PBS news hour is touting it as averting a new cold war but I sorta feel like the USA is gonna keep ramping up defense industry stuff because ukraine is resulting in a bunch of javelin + friends factories getting dusted off. seems like everyone in europe wants to get in an order for 100+ himars and i'd imagine that will put pressure on the US gov't to keep escalating proxy conflicts The great thing about nukes, is that death and destruction resulting from a war directly threaten the political elite, whereas with conventional warfare all the dying and suffering apply only to commoners. Biden and Xi are turning down the temperature because neither wants to get into a direct conflict with the other where nuclear weapons may end up being used over an island that's strategic and useful but honestly not strategic or useful enough to risk MAD. A new cold war will still start. Decoupling will still happen. The trade and technology war will ramp up. The US will try even harder to make other countries take a side. Most of the global south will still try to stay neutral. This is just to make sure the neo cold war doesn't turn hot. Marzzle posted:also, how could xi possibly think the USA acts in good faith when a dude like trump can promise to gently caress with china just for the lulz and win an election off it (and absolutely will be doing that for 2024)? is china just paying lip service to deescalate in ukraine? Xi obviously doesn't. Read his work report at the party congress; he's extremely realistic about the US and its motives. The US wants to make China poorer and weaker, and China will try to prevent that. But a war over Taiwan is lose-lose and there's a zone of possible agreement here where both sides stop escalating. edit: Also I suspect Xi is genuinely getting sick of the Ukraine war, so the US sees an opening there. The war has probably been a net benefit for China so far in that it made Russia weaker and more reliant, it made the US show all its cards so China can better prepare for a Taiwan contingency, and it gave RMB internationalization a significant boost. But the war dragging on doesn't give China any additional benefits. Instead, the war is loving with commodity prices and all of China's trains to Europe and causing all sorts of other economic problems. Besides, China actually had a decent relationship with Ukraine, less good after 2014 but still reasonable. And during the century of humilation China lost more land to Russia than any other country and China hasn't forgotten. China hasn't recognized the Crimean annexation or any of the Russia-backed breakaway regions. An Jung-geun has issued a correction as of 07:32 on Nov 15, 2022 |

PiratePrentice posted:What's the political climate like in modern Taiwan anyways, is it like most of the global South watching the beginning of the end of the West and realizing that they're eventually going to have to reunite with China or is it more of a Ukrainian death cult thing where they'd rather die in nuclear hellfire than do the obviously smart thing? Going by polling and social media, I'd say it's pre-National Security Law Hong Kong, where most of the older generation wants the status quo but much of the younger generation has bought into Western neoliberal propaganda line and hook. Again like the Hong Kong protestors, a lot of pro-DPP Taiwanese think that the US will show up to save them and the CCP will just fold and let Taiwan go if they make a push for independence. The DPP actually had a much bigger role in fomenting the HK protests than any Western country, even considering the hilarious fact that this very thread saw US diplomats actively coordinating with foreign citizens in HK to facilitate HK riots.

Vladimir Poutine posted:Sorry for the Guardian’s overall vibe but I saw this buried in a live blog and it made me curious about how these meetings (or lack of meetings) with Japan, Korea, Australia and the EU went down when you consider that they all imposed similar restrictions on travellers from China: stephenthinkpad posted:On the Chinese podcast I follow, they talked about it in today's episode. The intelligent guy said US made Korea and Japan do this (visibly imposing travel restrictions on Chinese travelers) He said Beijing know SK and Japan initially didn't want to do it but US made them do it, that's why China swiftly hit back with retaliatory visa freeze. He said Beijing will make sure third party countries can not get away with siding with American new anti-China tactics without paying price for it, and Beijing knows the rest of the world are watching. I think the difference is that the Australian/US/EU measures are reciprocial, as the Guardian article correctly states: quote:It is understood the Australian government views the negative test rule as reciprocal because China also requires it of travellers to China. Butler has made no secret of the fact he hopes the requirement is temporary and will encourage China to share more information about its outbreak. China still requires a PCR test taken within 48 hour before departure, which is the same as the US/EU/Australia measures. China generally doesn't retaliate further for reciprocal measures. Japan and South Korea both went beyond that. Japan is requiring a PCR test before departure and upon arrival. South Korea requires tests before departure, after arrival, and suspended visas for Chinese nationals until at least the end of the month. And apparently South Korea also made some arriving Chinese passengers wear yellow tags around their necks. Hence the retaliation against them.

Shaanxi is a pre-PRC romanizationquote:The transcriptions of 陝西 and its neighbouring province 山西 are troublesome for Beijing Mandarin-based transcriptions, which pronounces both as /ʂan ɕi/ only with a different tone (Shǎnxī and Shānxī). To avoid tone marks, the double "a" in "Shaan" (listen) was borrowed from the Gwoyeu Romatzyh scheme of 1928.

Bald Stalin posted:To go back to this general subject, it's frustrating to be witnessing china reach a mappable, increasingly predictable power consolidation phase of authoritarianism likely involving significant and persistent deconstruction of any elements of the PRC that could represent a threat or constraint to its new effective Dictator For Life, especially considering the elements previously active in that government structure which were explicitly installed as an attempt to prevent this exact scenario.

It makes no sense to them because most Western politicians do not believe in what they preach, and cannot understand that most Chinese politicians do believe in what they preach (socialism with Chinese characteristcs as a stepping stone to eventual communism) and act on those beliefs.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:One of China's major criticisms of the Soviet Union at the time was that they were too friendly with the US. This is why Deng's "70% good, 30% bad" assessment of Mao--despite Deng's significant personal suffering during the Cultural Revolution--was a stroke of genius, as is the CPC's constant struggle that continues to the present day against the issue you mention above, which they call "historical nihilism."
