Look at these losers, no different than their kind back home.
That’s why I was saying that no one is more anti-Chinese than Indians. They just can’t stand seeing China succeed. If you take a look at Saagar’s timeline, you’ll see that he was seething at China’s one trillion dollar trade surplus a couple of days ago LOL

China’s $1 trillion surplus—weaponisation of trade & threat for India, US & the world​

"China’s exports to the world have increased significantly in the last 30 years, with Beijing’s surplus now crossing the $ 1 trillion-mark. In Episode 1588 of Cut The Clutter, ThePrint Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains how China weaponised trade to use it as an agent of growth, what it means for the world, particularly India and the US ahead of Trump inauguration."

This discussion shouldn't be in this thread, but I'd like to point out it wasn't just him, most of India were spazzing out at China's trade surplus. It is super illogical, Indians feel like its their god given right to have a balanced trade with China, and China must not have a trade surplus with the world or something. If you examine India's foreign policy demands, they always demand China unilaterally balance trade with India. WTF logic is this, your business people buy our goods, not our problem. India doesn't export enough to China is solely India's fault. They make equally unreasonable demands to western countries by asking them to give visas to Indian workers and students without offering anything in return. I've heard of Indian's mentally as described as this: if they don't cheat you, they don't feel like they are winning and thus they are losing.

I bet he is secretly 100% for the glory of India while acting he is a US patriot on his show.

Re the XHS saga from Ayi:

1737315926704.png1737315945601.png

Excerpts & translation:

Ayi: 经过打听,这一轮确实是自上而下的推动 暂停咩鳖一农历年

评论:有多上

Ayi: “开把大火烧睡觉“

Ayi: After some inquiries, it is indeed a top-down initiative. Pause the "Communist Party bashing" for one lunar year.

Commenter: How high up does it go?

Ayi: "Start a big fire and go to sleep."
Ayi: 一方面是打听了一下,审核特别多的某红书断无此贼胆搞大冒险,确实有人点头。另外一点可以变相证实,因为小红书的决策层说我们整个狠活儿,那么这个狠活儿是没有收益的,因为洋人来APP的流量也是很难变现的,MCN找洋鬼子假戏真做这条路早就被卷烂了,而且硬推洋人到首页是个赔钱买卖。

Ayi: 老苏只是官僚病犯了,认为官僚的第一反应是“制止变化”,但这一轮从一开始就是狠活儿,不是变化

Ayi: On one hand, after some inquiries, it’s clear that a platform as heavily monitored as a certain Hongshu would never have the audacity to take such a big risk—this move definitely had someone’s approval. On the other hand, this can be indirectly verified because Xiaohongshu’s decision-makers are saying, "We’re going all out on this." However, this "all-out effort" isn’t profitable. The traffic from foreigners on the app is hard to monetize, and the route of MCNs using foreign influencers to stage fake authenticity has long been overdone. Moreover, forcibly pushing foreigners to the homepage is a losing proposition.

Ayi: Old Su is just falling into bureaucratic habits, thinking that a bureaucrat’s first reaction is to "prevent change." However, this time, it’s been about going all out from the very beginning—it’s not about change.

For context, “老苏” is a guest in another Guancha podcast who had been somewhat pessimistic about the prospects of this saga.

Anyone wanna decode what “开把大火烧睡觉“ means

Serptentza still homeless or someone still jealous of the quality bobs defecting to the PRC?
I'm having fun trolling China Uncensored who, to be fair to them, don't believe in blocking. SerpentZA blocked me a couple of weeks ago for a comment about unqualified sexpat English teachers being expelled or some such.

Also Aunty "Ching Chong" Chen not taking this well (and you should call her that in replies to her posts).

I’m gonna break out my protractor to check if reading MSM bullshit has altered her eye slant angle.
