She really thought she could have her cake and eat it too huh building a brand for your artist is expensive if left unchecked Chinese entertainment agencies would be forced to foot the bill while western agencies come in and swoop up the established talent, It seems China is working on exporting its own artists like Hollywood in the near future and might explain this U turn, Xi himself praised cabaret back in the day after all
Good to know that Comrade Biden agrees with President Xi's "change not seen in a 100 years" declaration!

My honest reaction to that misinformation:
The cultivation of rice in classical southern China was extraordinarily labor intensive, requiring a constant whole-of-society effort to ensure that the irrigation system and the strict schedule of harvest and planting functioned without a hitch. It was not remotely a gift of nature. This is well described by the exerpt below in
civilization and capitalism, fifteenth–eighteenth century, vol. 1 the structure of everyday life
(ignore the obvious racist stuff the quotes are from 1730)
Nobody cultivates the hardest to raise, shittiest crop just for bragging rights. They cultivate what they can.
The typical route of original crop domestication starts with gathering locally available resources, rice is no exception.
Rice became labor intensive to plant outside its natural range in the Yangtze River Valley.
Had a look at your source. It doesn't disagree with anything i said though. Why did you think it could refute me?
where did I say rice wasn't labor intensive? Did I use the words labor anywhere?
Does labor somehow change the natural environment of rice or something? Can you grow rice with equal labor in the Arctic or Siberia?
I said, factually: rice grows wild in China and it is native to China. Prehistoric Chinese started gathering rice and grew it because it's an abundant local grain well adapted to the environment. It can be grown without fossil fuel inputs, only the labor of humans and cows. Thus there's no threat to the Chinese food supply for rice.

Your wording gave me the impression that you viewed the cultivation of rice by hand to be a relatively easy or even trivial task in the environment of southern China, that is why I responded the way I did, because my source well illustrates the scale and intensity of effort needed to make it work. I felt the need to respond because what I saw as the implicit downplaying of rural farmers' collosal effort in rice farming was offensive to me.

They sound like gold diggers.
Gold diggers are not role models probably is the policy of the government.
