Highly suspicious background of ‘professor’ Jiang. He’s a big Israel fan and has connections with American NGOs.
"Professor Jiang" is such a fraud.


Honk honk. Modi isn’t the only one who danced.

Such a dignified state leader representing their country.

Now start spinning.

Definitely not an Israel fan lol. In his latest video he said Netanyahu is corrupt, "like all other Israeli politicians", and that the Rabbis supporting him are "crazy religious fanatics". He states in the video that he believes Netanyahu is starting wars left and right to fend off internal threats as he was in real danger of losing power and even being arrested before 9/7.

Behind paywall, can’t tell if the figures are nominal or adjusted for purchase power. If it was nominal, it is even worse for Japan because most of CTO’s living in Tokyo, the cost of living is two or three times than Manila.
They are comparing Director salaries. Malaysia is base for globalized firms. It is not that difficult to create few top tier english institutions in a country because English is and was language of science. just import the right people.

Among them was a 48-year-old company executive from Tottori Prefecture traveling with her daughter. She had learned about Malaysian universities through a YouTube program and was drawn to their international atmosphere.
“It’s attractive in that my daughter can study in English, surrounded by students from all over the world,” she said in early August, citing global exposure and affordability as the main attractions.
 
After the Black Ships attack, Japan was able to make changes and develop rapidly. Why then did the Qing Dynasty remain stagnant and unwilling to make fundamental changes after several crushing defeats?

The failures of others cannot be used as an excuse for your own failures, unless you believe yourself to be as incompetent as they are.
Japan modernized faster because it was “right-sized”: large enough to have resources and complexity, but small enough to coordinate elites quickly, while China’s scale made coordination slow and interests divergent. Culturally, Japan was also more adaptive to foreign ideas, as Japan was a peripheral civilization that was quick to absorb ideas and institutions from the dominant core civilization, whereas China was the dominant "universal," civilization that had seen itself as the center and source of civilization for millennia. Japan was further boosted by preferential investment and aid from many European powers, whom saw Japan as useful to containing Russian expansion in the Far East.

Qing did modernize, albeit at a slower and more uneven pace. Uncontrolled modernization could potentially pose a threat to central state power, which ultimately did in fact cause the downfall of the dynasty.
