Mexico is becoming dangerosly based.For example, how can we speak of democracy if the elites dominate and not the majorities? How can we speak of democracy if there is no separation of economic and political power? How can we speak of democracy if in recent times there has been the most offensive concentration of wealth in a few hands in the history of the world. The fortune of a minority has increased without limits, without any moral compunction, while there are a billion human beings living on less than $1 a day."
By saying the bold texts he grasps the very fundamental idea of Marxism even though he is not a communist party member.
In the end Mutti made a fool out of him with the Minsk agreements.
Seriously, the RESTRICT Act and DATA Act are no laughing matters. They are really Trojan horses to steal your right of privacy , freedom of expression, and a step toward totalitarian, and once passed, it will be difficult to repeal them.
90% of HSR criticisms are just anti-communist and orientalist nonsense. Americans are lucky their ancestors didn't have the same mentality. They would be using unpaved roads otherwise. And yes I think HSR is a much better solution than building a lot of roads for a lot of cars AKA subsidizing private property with tax money. And do I need to talk about how airlines need subsidies to survive in every single economic crisis?Pettis is either disingenuous, or really intellectually lazy.
Some people on Weibo thought that it was so over the top stupid that they thought they needed to improve their English skills for misinterpreting the text.
Yes. Better and freer states where there is a war for the most minor of things due to hyper instability, while other states are stuck in permanent poverty due to bad geography, low population or a mixture of both. You know in Australia a clown gets paid $67,418 per year, yet this guy does it for free.An Austrian wanting to partition Russia?. Haven't heard that one before.

Nicer ones are like "Chinese Americans please run when you can" and others are like "don't wanna no bananas we import enough from Thailand".Did they realize just how evil and over the top stupid this really is?
I see the kind of change in persons from before to after switching citizenship. Not saying citizenship means something special, but the switching of it means cutting the link to China forever. People have to give a good reason for that big change. The people I know joined the 2008 demonstration, waiving the flag, then 4 years later after switching the passport, they blame everything on China for the deterioration of relationship between China and the west.By cognitive dissonance, I'm referring to the fact that it's much more difficult to stay in the US compared to Canada (and I assume Australia?). Therefore, the Chinese who live in US need to find more reasons to justify their prior sacrifices or ongoing hardship. The most obvious way to do so is to cast aspersions on life in China. If they can convince themselves that life in China sucks, they can feel better about the choice they made to immigrate to the US.
Minsk also give time to have Syria intervention and all other infrastructure that enable Russia to withstand a prolong conflict. Even if Russia occupied Ukraine in 2014 and Germany would remain unscathed as Pre Covid Europe was alot stronger for sanctions.In the end Mutti made a fool out of him with the Minsk agreements.
