Looks like to me that China has finally decided that the Cold War (and very likely a hot war) is inevitable. Zero reason for China to continue allowing the West to datamine China for economic and military exploits when we are all hurdling towards a clash.
Yea, it seems like some war preparations is actually being made.

And that the top people in China also considers it very possible that actual military clashes even possibly with US, might happen this decade.

Yeah I'm not talking about CNKI or other academic databases, Wind has an important place in the financial world for people looking to invest in financial instruments onshore

There is little downside with the current environment. Controls already exist to cap the level of foreign ownership, much of the financial information on Wind is already accessible (it's a matter of convenience) and in the event of a hot war you can always implement capital controls or go after the custodians, which are all Chinese or Chinese subsidiaries

The sad thing is $11k a month salary is not even very high. There is nothing to flaunt. I have a few cousins all in early 30s that makes about 1M yuan a year working in tech, and they still feel poor. Lol
I don't think the Chinese government wants the best and brightest to work for the financial sector. High paying financial jobs would only encourage more risk taking. As we knew all new financial innovation for the last few decades only come back to bite the banks. We have witnessed this in 2008 and now repeat it again in 2023. We just never learned because greed is good.

Bro you hit the nail regarding Australia as a Racist nation BUT regarding Japan, SK and even Vietnam they all vie to be the inheritor of the Sinosphere and its culture. We all share the same facial feature and like the Collective West used to say THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE....lol Well brother I won't lose sleep thinking about it, we are returning to the Imperial tributary system with China at its center. It's just a matter of time as the three Asian Country I mentioned and you may include India are seeing country from afar paying tributes and respect to emperor Xi....lol It really VEXED them big time and jealousy played a part as the mandate of heaven as the big Dog of Asia is shifting. ;)
You're being naive and clueless. You're mistaken if you think homogeneous monoracial/monoethnic societies do not have or have less division and antagonism. They can't accept same/similar-looking fellow kind being superior. People do not think based on what they are, they think based on what they wish to be.

No, SK needs to be reclaimed by North Korea. SK only artificially exists by the U.S. People should stop their lingering obsession with SK. China has been drastically reducing imports from SK unlike from other countries.

I apologize in advance if this question sounds biting, but are they the type of people who like to buy high end cars, phones, go out and eat at high dining, and/or do anything else of that sort?

Not really, just cost of living in Shenzhen and Hangzhou is high. Especially cost of apartments in good neighborhood close to work is ridiculous.

It's a big problem everywhere. I live in Calgary and live in inner city, where every house is at least $1M, and they are small houses.

Making a lot of money in a high expense city just means you feel richer when travelling.

I would not go as far as to say this is actually war prepare.

China has been extraordinarily open data access to foreigners, and I think that was part naively and part trying to convince western leaders China is not trying to be a threat to them.

This is an end of that era of hope and wishful thinking and a sign that China is preparing to batten down the hatches.

All of this is definitely prep work for going into active war preparation, but we are still not quite there yet.

If and when China does go into actual full war preparation mode, things will change incredibly quickly and production will also ramp up very rapidly. But I don’t think the outside world or even the overwhelming majority of China’s own citizens will notice anything out of the ordinary for quite some time after the shift has already happened.

Steps like this are designed to make it easier for China to change gears when needed, to be able to do so quicker and more effectively, and also to minimise warning for foreign hostile powers.

If and when China decides to kick off AR, it won’t half arse it like the Russians did Ukraine. If anything, China will massively over-prepare, like the star student aiming to get national first in the GaoKao exams.

China will shift a significant portion of its manufacturing capacity to wartime production even before the first shot is fired. Cutting off detailed economic data will prevent outside powers from noticing such changes easily from open sourced data. Cutting that data well in advanced is so you don’t tip your hand needlessly.
