A guy who can pull that many misleading graphs out of his ass can definitely pull up an IP masker as well. We should stop responding to him.

It is the opposite, China always put capital closer to the front line. Xi'an was close to the threat from north west all the way to the Song dynasty when the main threat moved from north west to north east from Kithan and Jurchen. Since that time north west was never a threat. Ming put capital in Beijing wasn't special unlike many people would say.
Having the capital close to the front line is not only for commanding purpose but (more IMO) also for pschological purpose to keep both the ruler and population alert of threat. It is evident that all dynasties enjoying peace far from the threat is short lived. The most long lasting dynasties all put their capital close to threat. Threat is not a problem but a motivation to eliminate and further expand your territory, safety is not a blessing but a curse leading to demise.

Huawei launching its revolutionary cell phone slash tablet on the same day as the new iPhone just feels so….poetic. Let the Anglo western companies suffer, let them fear. My new phone may yet be a Huawei.
Of course, Apple could resolve its problem by giving a controlling stake to the CPC and having a Chinese Communist Party personnel to monitor Apple, paid for by Apple shareholders of course. Let the Americans experience what they wanted of Xiaomi and ZTE.
Despite working in finance, i am actually in favour of this cultural mindset. What exactly do we do in finance that necessitates such large salaries? If not for the mercantilist culture and society of the anglosphere, merchant banking would be relegated to a status below that of plumbers. Farmers, scholars and scientists contribute far, far more to society, and speaking for myself, I only got into finance to get money, otherwise I would’ve been using my science degree for research.

The good old days - remember, China's home ownership is about 96%, some of the highest in the world:
For maximum trolling send Type 075 and RORO ships for amphibious assault exercise. US side can play defense and China can play offense. Winner gets NFT image of President Tsai and President Lai bumping nasties.
