Right, so both the Eight Route Army and the New Fourth Army (which were actually part of the ROC military during the 2nd Sino-Japanese War and were also instrumental to the founsing of the PRC - Where in both instances are constituted wholely of mainland Chinese themselves) never existed, according to the Americans.

Perhaps China (and the PLA of course) should consider the "accidental bombing" of the US "embassy" in Taipei during Operation AR, and Beijing can just provide similar reasonings as Washington DC did when they bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade back in 1999.

ShanDong University set up a buddy program for foreign students, with the Chinese buddies being female only. The Chinese students complained they were pressured (by the foreigners and the school administration) into having sex with the foreign students because the school administration wanted to make foreign students ”feel at home”.

The article does not state that the Chinese buddies were female only, nor does it make any mention of sexual interactions between students. It seems to say (my Chinese reading abilities are heavily atrophied) that on the sign up form used by the Chinese students to register for the buddy program, there is an option to select, "preference for opposite-gender study buddy," and it mentions the ratio of Chinese "study buddies," to foreign students was about 3:1 (which was apparently controversial, since it somehow implied Chinese students were inferior???).

If your claims were 100% accurate, I would imagine there'd be news of the entire school administration being fired, and then each member of the administration ending up murdered by angry citizens (or parents and relatives of the Chinese study buddies) in the following months.

Do you have source for the "pressured into having sex" accusation, in particular the "by the school admin" part? That would have been very serious criminal offences but I do not know of anyone indicted for such crimes. Nothing about such accusation in the Baidu piece you cited, either.

There might have been some Chinese students having crossed the line and had intimate relations with their "study buddies". One might even believe that the school admin have wished and wanted to benefit from such relations. But accusing that the school admin have pressured the Chinese students into having sex with anyone is a whole level beyond.

Wouldn't be the first time an incident becomes exaggerated/sensationalized and/or blown out of proportion by netizens. I can easily see how "some female students in a student buddy program where the majority of Chinese students were female complained about being pressured into engaging in sexual activities by foreign male students, to which the university administrators turned a blind eye," is altered by netizens to transform into "Chinese female students in an all-female student buddy program were systematically pressured into providing sexual services to foreign male students by the university administration."

Just look at what happened in Jiangyou.

Pointless, is something did happen to Putin, the dead hand goes off and the world is doomed. This flex means nothing, just like this strike on Iran, as that failed to do much except encourage Iran to advance its capabilities further and to more careful when deadline with the USA and to completely align itself away from the west and get rid of any illusions that its adversaries are a bunch of back stabbing cowards. Still lots of people will cheer like the lemmings they are so that does say a lot about certain peoples lack of brains

How is this the same? Sino-German cooperation post WW1 was an economic partnership between two sovereign nations. Indians fighting in the INA were supporting a new colonizer in place of the original colonizer.

And how long did this economic partnership last? Only a couple of years, followed by Germany allying with Japan!!! The point is: colonialists (especially European) just used other countries for ulterior motives of expansion and imperialism which was their core principle. The strategy involved reducing the influence of other colonial powers. Indians supported both new and former colonizers, but they weren’t an independent state. Imperial subjects had less options and more misery.

Another contender against Tom Cotton for the "You can become a state/federal-level congress representative in the USA, but you wouldn't even become a village chief in China" award.
