Drive by shootings in US are often targeted and affiliated with gang violence. Random drive by shootings are quite rare in US actually.

And so are random assaults with any weapon in China.

This was a terrorist attack, think Nice truck attacks. The videos and photos on X are pretty gruesome, I don't want to post it here. It definitely isn't an old man with a vendetta, especially during this time in Zhuhai.

Thats just pure speculation at this point of time. The motives can be anything.

I don't see why we should preemptively be apologetic or justifying about anything. The west likes Imperial Japan. The Philippines like Imperial Japan. Many third world countries too like them. And in the quest to increase their living standards, the west too carried out many crimes.

If China has to defend itself with militarism to keep it's way of life, there's nothing wrong with it. As the most powerful country today, we have a natural right to impose ourselves on others if needed, just like the west did when it was the most powerful entity, just like Japan did when it rose to the first spot in Asia.

Of course I don't advocate for inefficient violent behavior or acting like a crowd of looters and rioters. The atrocities from Imperial Japan are a result of poor military discipline and weak willed command - they lost against even a not united China for a reason.

The problem with his comments is that he made a guilty charge insinuation without crimes being committed. Imperial Japan committed mass war crimes and mass crimes against humanity along with and in the name of its imperialism. Chinese patriotism did none of that and you can say all you want 'but they gonna one day if you leave them unchecked' but the fact is they havne't and you cannot charge them as guilty until they do.

Basically the same old bullshit argument that many in the West and their followers in the east makes against China/Chinese. "They are not doing it now but I betcha they gonna do it one day and somehow this justifies us to do what we want to them now"

China state media needs to have him attend a live TV interview where they ask him in detail what his comments really meant and to flesh out his thoughts, watch him squirm and then shot him down and tell him why he is wrong like a guilty little primary school kid.

No, Hu Xijin got banned cause he said some uncomfortable truths about the future of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics policies. Similarly Sima Nan didn't get banned for posting "ultranationalist" content, he often touches on sensitive topics, which have nothing to do with ultranationalism. Don't fall for western propaganda.

After seeing Biden's act after Comrade Trump's victory, I'm starting to think his whole dementia and slip ups are all acts, even calling President Xi a dictator.

Let's not forget that Marco Rubio is the guy that has multiple times claimed Capitalism didn't change China, China changed Capitalism. He probably didn't study history, or else he would know the many times China changed Capitalism previously.

He seems like the late empire reform type. If he is successful he'll prolong the empire, and maybe save it, usually these kind of people just accelerate the decline.

The most self-destructive people out there are those with the right level of intelligence, just enough to think they're super competent and beyond self doubt, but far beyond their actual ability.
