Honestly religious differences isn't that big. China probably has the third largest number of Christians in the world already, probably over 100 millions already. They just aren't recorded on official surveys.

Aren't those like a majority 100 million christians CIA affiliated cultists or something. Because the fact they aren't recorded on offical surveys seems very fishy to me.

Eh, think that is unlikely, maybe 10 million, but 100 million? Don't think so.

Or atleast, the amount going to church is gonna be very, very little of that 100 million.

A lot of them attend underground churches and online seminars.

It's unlikely that there are that many Christians.

While some might dodge official surveys, but it's unlikely for it to be that many.

A lot =/= 100 million.

That a lot could simply amount to 1 to 2 million people.

And scrubbing plates isn’t? Seriously…

That usually happens after they run out of savings and have too much cognitive dissonance to admit their mistake.

A lot of these people seriously believe they will be living in paradise once they reach the US et al. The social media they consume in China tells them everything is free here and they can get money for doing nothing.

When they’ve already made such a massive sacrifice uprooting themselves and their families and gone into debt spending their savings to pay human smugglers, the last thing they’re going to do is admit fault and come home with their tails between their legs. No, they’ll double down and join cia cutouts and cults and work as slaves in the anglosphere when they could have been men in China.

Philippines can’t deny ‘shared DNA’ with Beijing even as South China Sea sours ties: Marcos Jnr​

Marcos Jnr, however, said he would “not mind” if the Philippines returned to harmony with China, referencing their long history, including the establishment of bilateral relations in 1976 and their 600-year trading relationship.

“If we are to examine DNA, there are very few Filipinos with no Chinese DNA. My family actually makes much of the fact that we have, within our family tree, an infamous Chinese pirate who used to operate within the waters of the then South China Sea. That cannot be discounted,” he said.

He pointed out there were as many Chinese investments and nationals in the Philippines as there were Chinese-Filipinos who were born in China.

Marcos Jnr said despite the skirmishes in the South China Sea, the Philippines recognised China as an “important neighbour and partner”.

But he cautioned that closeness to the US, or any other state, did not override the Philippines’ national interests.

“Let me make it very, very clear. The Philippines acts for its own interests, and the decisions that we make when it comes to foreign policy is because we believe and are convinced that it is in the national interest,” he said.

“It is not a policy that has been foisted upon us by any country. It is something that we have come to on our own, it is a conclusion that we have arrived at by ourselves.”

SCMP is in full Wumao mode lately. Guess all the partying at Shenzhen really managed to convince them of the superiority of the socialist system.

I am not certain if my assumption is based on a certain heightened vigilance for any anti-China bias whether real or perceived because I just decided to fiddle with Microsoft's Copilot and asked the top countries with the highest GDP. It provided with the list of countries with an accompanying pictures that best represent the said countries. All countries (5 countries) on the list have a picture with the lone exception of the number 2: China. A.I. is not free from BIAS/WILFULL OMISSION OF FACTS?
