I know Shein has a lot of shitty business practices and is generally horrible for the environment.

But its still interesting to see the long way China has come. Up until 2015, people wondered if China could rise above cheap manufactering to create global brands.

Last year TikTok beat Google to be the world's most visited website. In 2022 Shein got voted the world's most popular brand.

Literally 1984 where the job of special envoy on climate change is to use climate to suppress economic development, job of treasurer is to take money away instead of provide it, job of energy secretary is to determine how to take energy away instead of produce it...

I have already heard people say the UK is already pretty much a developing nation, so the UK will now feel how the west's green agenda is being used against developing nations ;)

Does this mean that #BidenDelivers will stop trending on Twitter? I swear the Dems are taking a page out of the CGTN playbook when they try positive propaganda.

Is that a new food home delivery company marketing campaign? If so that is going to backfire so badly as Biden will just do his broken roomba wonder with your food and never actually deliver it.

US: Bans NASA from sharing anything with China.

Also US: I don’t understand why the evil commies won’t hand over the data when I demand it. This is a win win situation. Where I win twice.

Why would the head of NASA announce the shortsightedness of the U.S. policymakers publicly for the rest of the world to see? China is not the Soviet Union. Landing on the moon is just the very first step of a long-term competition. It doesn't matter that much who will achieve the first goal. The eventual goal is the long-term colonization of the moon. China missed the opportunity to colonize the Americas. She will not miss the opportunity to colonize the moon.

What the US does incredibly well is this kind of "bottom up" influence campaign. This is accomplished primarily through incentives. If you're a political science graduate and you want a career in a foreign policy institution or think tank, this is what you do to get attention. To the public it looks like just an "independent" analyst giving their take. In actuality it's how they advance their career. All the while they avoid drawing attention to the US government's involvement because it's not a "top down" directive.

This reminds me that "China Studies" in the West is actually "Anti-China Studies":
“China Studies” is not about China. It could be, but it is not. It is warfare against China. To keep China down. To sabotage her. To control her people and her history.

In this war, it is the West or you perish. Joining the enemy, China, is a capital crime. Have you ever wondered why there are no pro-China talking heads in the books, in the papers or on telly? It is because pro-China people in “China Studies” were the enemy. They didn’t make it through graduation, they weren’t hired, etc..

Our common sense is often betrayed by what sociologists call ‘the survivor bias’: We believe that since all we hear or read about China is negative, this must be sure proof that China is a very nasty place. What we fail to see, however, is that all the negative stuff we heard and read about China was the product of just 1 “China Studies” graduate for every 1,000,000 people or so of the general Western population. Nobody who was pro-China survived the selection process or came anywhere near central power.

Everyone the UK authorities detect who doesn’t match the profile of “a future China-basher” is not selected for graduation or a top post. It is as simple as that.

This imbecile will be disappointed again, for a couple of reasons:
  • Omicron is less deadly than previous variants.
  • Most people in China have been vaccinated and the trend in the near future is accelerated vaccination for the elderly.
  • Almost 3 years experience in dealing with COVID-19
  • ICU beds doubled and some emergency isolation facilities are being converted to ICU facilities.

Finally, unlike many Westerner, most Chinese people will take the initiative to protect themselves. Beijing is an excellent example:
