I simply don't believe it. Chinese kids study themselves to death to be the number 1 in the class with Gaokao stress going through the roof. Weekends and after school time is spent going from piano class to chess class to taekwondo class to swimming class. Chinese culture is one where people never feel satisfied and always want more money, more power, more accomplishment.

only among the most ambitious top 5% but not top 1% urban families maybe?

I didn't do any extra work on weekends except homework, and many of my classmates lived at school and just played basketball/went to internet cafe on the weekends. All those weekend classes are some Asian American thing. In China very few people cram their kids into 50 non-academic weekend classes because they're expensive, a distraction from gaokao, and not part of university evaluations. There's not really even a need for academic weekend classes, there's plenty of homework assigned by the school itself.

I also know what top 1% looks like. They don't stress over gaokao either. Their families can just buy them a foreign university seat in Australia, Canada or Singapore. What are they stressed for?

China's per capita resources are still fairly low with many low wage workers far from being able to afford a comfortable life. This is a perfect recipe for continuous improvement, NOT of complacent happiness.

The low wage workers aren't the ones stressing over gaokao or being put in taekwondo class. They're OK with getting 400 points, getting an associates or a low tier university bachelors, and making money.

I just don't believe it. I want to feel that China can achieve this sometime in the future when robotics ease work pressure while producing great excess and China holds an unassailable lead on the global stage, but that time is not now. Right now, we're in the eye of the storm battling the US and immersed in an inferno of hard work and exertion.

Chinese people barely even think about the US while China lives rent free in their heads.

Yes, but you'd have to be political and follow the grand scheme of the competition. You'd have to see that China's efforts at lithography are really starting to show, that our enemies are suffering economic hardships, losing the tech war they started, that our military is more assertive, etc... but the majority of people aren't. To the majority of the Chinese people, China's just a very hard-working very competitive environment and the economy has fallen to 5% growth from periods of 8-10%. Most people notice this but they won't put it into the context of China's global competition and fight to avoid the middle-income trap with technology investments. That's why I find it impossible to believe that China is the happiest country in the world on average. Only the rare hardcore political patriots who are happier for the country's progress than for their own personal progress would find this period a very joyful one. Most people just want an easier life with less competitive work environment and that is just not China.

Maybe bro achieving success is also a form of happiness, facing adversity and outcompeting your opponent is the greatest joy of all.

Maybe people find their life to be meaningful, but not so much 'happy'. You know, having a family appreciating each other after hard work. Whereas here being old has generous welfare after retirement, but you are basically rotting til death.

As a kid I found China is pretty miserable, but I am certain being old in China feels better than Canada

Chinese monk not only journeyed to India but managed to beat the Indians in a nation wide debate. I guess all of India must belong to China then.

Don’t fall for their trap! The Jai Hinds have been looking for a new colonial daddy since the British left and they made a total mess of running their own country. Their long con now is to try and goad China into a war that they will loose but won’t admit it and keep making meat assaults against China so China is forced to invade to end the madness. Kaching, hello new colonial daddy with tech, resources and know-how to actually make India into a modern functional country!

Why build railways ourselves, when we can get Chinese daddy to built top notch HSR for us

I think a Chinese civilian may have flown a drone over the JS Izumo, like literally right over the deck and potentially landed on it too lmao.

Not 100% on the authenticity of the claims yet but looks pretty legit. Also very funny if true.

Some guy posted it on the Japanese military news thread

A troller landed a UAV on the carrier and posted it on Bilibili where it instantly got deleted LMAO

The whole autocracy vs democracy narrative is a lie. The US had slaves while being a democracy… What we’re seeing from the West whining about China is the West seeing the end of white supremacy…brought to you by China. What irks the West is they don’t have a legitimate reason to stop the Chinese. China is beating the West legitimately. China didn’t do it through aggression. It’s like how former Vice President Dick Cheney was provoking China to act aggressively so then the US could militarily attack China because he believed the US would win. He couldn’t do that without a good excuse for attacking China that would be seen as legitimate in the eyes of the world or else they can’t escape from the imperialist monster monkey on their back they’re trying to avoid the world from seeing. The West still faces that dilemma today because ultimately they can get nuked if they give someone an excuse.

China is destroying the Western world order as accused by the West. Who said that’s a crime? There is nothing that says the West always deserves to be in control of the world. China is doing it by beating the West at their own game. That’s what frustrates them. Oh they want to violate human rights but they know they can’t or else they lose any legitimacy they have built in this world trying to convince everyone they aren’t the monsters they were before.

The biggest irony is that for all the Anglo demands for “reperations“ from China during Covid, the PRC and the rest of the second and third world can legitimately demand and expect reperations from the west, should they choose to go down that route.

i have a better idea.
All territory extending from the base of the Himalayas to Mumbai and Telagana is to be a nature preserve with no Indians allowed in. This nature preserve is to be guarded by a massive wall complete with minefields and suicide drones attacking anything that moves. The nature preserve will, also function as a carbon sink and the dense foliage to prevent any of the Coprophiliacs of modis India in accessin*Southeast Asia. Needless to say, nagaland and sikkim will be free and independent.

Former Indian Air Force Air Marshal. Why are these guys always obsessing about China?

LoL! Those sore losers. China is a problem for them because it stands in the way of their fictional Akhand Bharat. They want Kashmir, but China backs up Pakistan. They want Tibet, but it actually is Chinese territory. They want Xinjiang but it is also Chinese territory. They want the other South Asian nations, but China is better friends with them than India. China is a real nation that has been built over thousands of years. But India is an artificial nation setup by the British, only established in 1947. China is a real civilizational state, while India is a post-colonial construct. India considers itself a first-world Empire, but "lowly" China beats India by every human development metric.

The more they want to question about One China, the more they invite scrutiny over the myth about what India actually is. This Air Force Marshal fella and many other Jai Hinds claim that Tibet and Xinjiang are culturally closer to India. Again, what is India actually? India had never even existed when Tibet and Xinjiang were already part of China.

If they truly want to take Tibet and Xinjiang from China, then bring it on. The PLA's Western Theater Command shall greet them. If they want to play with Taiwan, then China can also play with India's North East and Kashmir. Let's see who can do more damage.

Kumarajiva didn’t say anything. He has been dead for 1600 years as per the article. Kumarajiva a religious scholar and translator (monk) who travelled to Xinjiang and Tibet, which the author is using for their own delusion.

TLDR of the article. Indian Monk went to Xinjiang. Therefore Xinjiang and Tibet belongs to India.

LOL! Then by that logic, Xuanzhang's journey to India means that China can lay claim to any part of India that he had been, which is practically all of India. So India already belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and by extension, its successor, the PRC. That's the power of Jai Hind logic. BTW when Xuanzhang visited India, it wasn't even called India. It was a actually a region made up of empires and kingdoms. There was definitely no Akhand Bharat in sight in when he was there.

It's funny that people who have ancestors from areas in the sinosphere conquered India but no one from India got even close to China.

Also if all this India influence meant so much coz they were there early, what does it mean when Muslims came and make them their dogs? It shouldn't happen coz according to them they owned part of the middle east, central Asia or China yet it was those regions controlling India.

India is a big fish in a small pond coz it's neighbours are weak. Except China which brings them back to reality. No wonder they feel so butthurt. They aren't under the Brits anymore so they have to do this with their own power.

Xiaohongshu is a threat now?

Feels like India fearmongering about Xiaohongshu, maybe the next Chinese app to be banned in India.
