They can bottle it and Pan-Green can drink it.
He is either a SleepyStudent-tier troll or just has mental health problems because he created some imaginary world in his head and pretends that his vision is the reality. That world obviously constantly changes whenever suitable - that's why one day he is saying that Arabs are beholden to the West, then the next day he is saying that Arabs are the secret world rulers. There's one constant though - shilling for Russia, that's how we can detect his ethnicity at least.
I also used to argue with him but I eventually realized that even simply reading his schizo posts makes me dumber. If the mods don't want to ban him, then it is better to just add him to blacklist because frankly arguing with him will just lead to polluting the thread with offtopic shit.
Huh, I figured that he was a Jai Hind troll.

Action speaks louder than words. The US is mincing over words is not from a position of strength. The only thing that has changed is the West thought threatening to decouple from China would make China surrender to all US/Western demands. It didn't work exposing how the West would destroy itself economically if it actually followed through. China doesn't need to stop buying the big stuff to weaken the economies of the West. It can crack too the foundations from not buying the little stuff that it easily can buy from somewhere else. What do they have left to sell to China? Nothing.
What is this spin that the G7 is more united than ever? Over what words they're going to use where the US was the last holdout from not using the term decoupling? Is that like spinning how the West was more united that ever after the US was one of the last countries to recognize the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela was wrong...? It's called biting off more than they can chew.

That's quite a bit of a lofty agenda peope assume the party should take on. If you don't mind how do you think the CPC should set about accomplishing this?
I find this polling as bias as you can get. Firstly, it is done solely online and with more people with college degrees which makes the demographics much more liberal and pro peaceful unification. However, one interesting finding is that older people tend to favor a military response. Presumably, it is due to the fact that older people want the reunification resolved and still living to witness it so that they can be part of that history. As for younger more nationalistic population, they might have more patience as they feel China is growing stronger everyday and the longer China waits the stronger China gets.
Although, this poll/article is intended to showcase and sow doubt that absolute majority of mainland Chinese is willing to get back Taiwan at any cost. Which corresponds with the Weibo post that some Western educated Chinese have advocated four ways to tackle Taiwan issue and sow doubt of the central government legitimacy from unification isn't in the interest of the general public, unification is against international law, the US isn't an enemy of China, US is a friend of mainland Chinese, and Chinese leaders are the ones responsible for inciting conflicts between the US and China.
Although earlier studies have concluded that younger Chinese tend to be more nationalistic and hawkish, this poll found that in fact older respondents tended to favour more aggressive policy choices such as full-scale war or military coercion.
"Perhaps the older Chinese have now become more impatient and are more willing to see the Taiwan issue resolved, presumably during their lifetime, one way or the other, rather than wait indefinitely," the authors explained.

I wish I could tell you how, and think that's going to be oh so easy. Anything worth doing in life requires huge commitments, and yes, sacrifices will be made. The CPC as a political organization must change constantly or adapt and be flexible enough to the threats it face, the threats that will emerge both from within and without.
The main argument I made and am going to continue to make is that to many in the world, or at least more acutely within it's own sphere like ASEAN countries like the Philippines. China and by extension Chinese people, culture remains an alien to the local population even though the Chinese people has been living in that country for hundreds of years. They have been able to establish and foster businesses that's become staple in their daily lives from Jollibee, SM malls as few examples. Despite the Chinese people's resilience, adaptability the relationship, understanding of Chinese diaspora with the rest of the population remain largely equidistant. The people looks at their fellow Chinese-Filipinos either with grudging respect, admiration to their business acumen, ability to hold money, envy, derision, and suspicion. The Chinese culture never permeated or extended beyond the diaspora. Even there, the Chinese culture was somewhat weak or more like westernized.
Contrast that experience with the Spaniards and especially with the Americans despite their brutality, literal opression, mass killings, literally discrimination, cultural destruction Filipinos look at these people with an almost blind loyalty, love, affection and a total acceptance of the American culture.
How can the Chinese able to influence others if the confidence and firm belief in itself doesn't even exist, easily penetrated or corrupted? The message and appeal of universality is strong and impossible to deny. At the most basic level every human being desire and want the most basic and fundamental things which is to pursue their dreams, ambitions, ability to raise and support a family, good education. But what set us apart and define us is the philosophical foundations, belief if you like to call it that way that can animate people to take actions that goes against their interest and existence see American relationship with her vassals in EU, Japan, SK, etc..
If China isn't willing to shape the world or at least recalibrate the world in it's own image for whatever reasons, then China will always be on the defensive, reactive, governance system prone to cracking for this very reason. It's a battle of ideas, and in battle both sides are trying to shape the environment so that it can shape the outcome. Why is this area be any different?
Chinese never ruled the Philippines. That's the problem. People respect those who rule them.
Contrast with Vietnam which China did rule:
Many ordinary citizens hate Chinese but their government itself clamps down on it and silences them. Their culture is so tightly bound to China's that they're copying China in every way from gaming to military to government, listen to Chinese music, etc.
Biden now claiming Russia lost 100k casualties in Bakhmut. Also I can’t remember where but didn’t someone say that the Ukrainians were losing 7 for every 1 casualties on the Russian side in Bakhmut. Anyway, the NATO copium is going to be they only lost 10 casualties with minor injuries and 24 pizza vans in a parking lot during the last 8 months.
