If you end up with a 1% increase in the annual "efficiency" of the country by choosing Wuhan over Xi'An, that would be worth an additional $200 Billion per year currently.
Where bureaucrates live do not affect economy very much. They have internet, they can talk anywhere. This is not medieval times.

After 5 years, the Chinese Navy will be in a position to credibly obtain maritime superiority over the 2nd Island Chain.
And in 10 years, the Chinese Navy would likely prevail over the US Navy in a contest for global maritime supremacy.
After 5 years, Qing finally secured calvry dominance over Mongolians. Beijing is safe... Look if you are always the strongest security dont matter. Scuttle your entire navy if you want. Dynasty power have dips. You plan for failure by picking your safe options under bad outcome.

St.Petersberg > Moscow

Istanbul > Ankara

Is Beijing > Xian really that radical? In fact if not for the symbolism of old capitals, I would pick Yan'An over Xi'an. Now that would be radical.

It is the opposite, China always put capital closer to the front line. Xi'an was close to the threat from north west all the way to the Song dynasty when the main threat moved from north west to north east from Kithan and Jurchen. Since that time north west was never a threat. Ming put capital in Beijing wasn't special unlike many people would say.

Having the capital close to the front line is not only for commanding purpose but (more IMO) also for pschological purpose to keep both the ruler and population alert of threat. It is evident that all dynasties enjoying peace far from the threat is short lived. The most long lasting dynasties all put their capital close to threat. Threat is not a problem but a motivation to eliminate and further expand your territory, safety is not a blessing but a curse leading to demise.

Alright, capital to fujian we go. Then capital to Taiwan, then Okinawa, ultimately Hawaii.

Republicans are really sad to watch. They are based on a declining demographic that will eventually die off. They keep kvetching about China but they don't realized they cant even preserve their own party nevermind country.

They also talk about conserving. What exactly have they conserved? By submitting to Israel and billionaires, they are walking contradictions.

Not that I like democrats. But they actually know how to win regardless of method. Republicans are ignorant boomers who don't know where they are. It is better for republicans to be stronger to counter democrats but they are pretty much washed up in the long term.

Raygun is now the no.1 dancer in the world because how? While all the other Olympians that won medals in breakdancing none of them competed in any other breakdancing competition in 52 weeks. But Raygun did... somewhere where she apparently was better than anyone else there. How convenient that they came up with that formula that makes Raygun the best dancer in the world.
They’re covering their ass for the government inquiry that is sure to come their way, there was so much corruption and nepotism going on in the selection process that the Australian people are demanding answers, so their strategy is to pass it off as good humour and say, see Raygun is a decent dancer after all!!

I think we know now why China has been aggressive towards India what with the PLA in the disputed borders and lately especially after Jaishankar's comment regarding China:


Indians are so jealous of China that they will compromise global south freedom from anglo hegemony just to shit on China.

If I were Republicans, and were to pull all cards for survival, I would collaborate with grassroot movement. Competing with democrates for ruling jewish elite approval dont work.

Go full anti Israel, take the popularism pill. This refill the voter base. Lose the campaign funds as cost.

Fan for a citizen guard to control border by violence. This shuts off democrate's illegal migrants as voter base.

Control state institutions independent from government. For example, police stations. Sort of like a reverse union.

Install party discipline, punish any affiliated politician going against party line. They might leave, but they will be punished. Through public denouncement at minimum, kicked if severe. This give up short term power, but increase growth potential via consistency.

Centralize the party, one party leader, one presidential candidate.

Centralize party media. Yeah fox is pro republican, but better to own that media entirely. It will reduce infighting, the correct candidate will be endorsed.

Concede some foriegn ambitions, focus on domestic enemies.

Ive always said its better to put Iran in BRICS over India. A smaller country that is reliable is always better than a big one that isn't.

Just put India with the west. They will do more damage that way since India is a rather crappy ally all things considered.
When India is an enemy and you don't believe they are acting in good faith, its way easier to deal with them. Its why Jai Hind cannot deal with Pakistan even though they keep saying how stupid they are.

India has overplayed its hand. They think their membership is worth popular core policy, they must be excluded.

IDK if BRICS has mechanism for kick, but lets be real, if core members agree (payment is whole reason they signed up) any rule can be made on spot.
