you will create the most dysfunctional society. Only Gulf Monarchies have succeeded to certain extent with large families and this what Putin is trying to replicate but its very expensive process and tedious process. The Japanese person is househusband that alone disqualify him and nothing is known about educational level of the women.

Strategic Change in U.S. Foreign Policy
How large foreign policy shifts happen despite pressures to maintain the status quo.Looking at the recent media, it seems like Harris, Trump and the elites aren't as aggressive militarily towards China as before.
Colonial democracy, that is........i am a proponent for China's democratic progress in the future, near or destined, but such external subjugation and collective submission (just the other way around) is the last thing i'd hope for any country, democracy or not, and that is also the key and most fetal flaw of most self-claimed liberals in China till now unfortunately

No.
1. This requires a ratio of 4-6 females per male. It is not possible, so all the females have to shift around between 4-6 husbands too.
2. If there is an STD, it will completely ravage a society.
3. There is total breakdown of family values and children are raised with no sense of responsibility to society or family. They do not develop careers but do whatever they need to do to fuck more women, have more kids and brag. These people will laugh and joke all day admitting how stupid and useless they are at everything but will be seriously offended if there is a comparison of who fucked more women.
4. This man has no job. He lives off of these womens' salaries. None of them look like they do anything worth a shit either because nobody with any self-respect would be involved in this. Would you want your daughter to be with this kind of person? We do not need a large population of useless people. We need career-oriented people to speartip the tech war.
In short, this is a classic overcorrection to the current situation that will totally destroy China's challenge to the Western order.

@Arij Javaid Ever watch Rocky IV? I saw this as a child with my father but there is a scene I remember because of how chilling it is. Before the Drago vs Creed fight, Drago's wife goes over to to Creed's wife and says, with a feigned smile, "I hope we can be friends afterwards." Creed's wife responds with a tense cold look, "Yes, I hope so." And as a little kid, I pictured for a moment these 2 elegant ladies going shopping in Beverly Hills together. Then, back on screen, Drago's wife is seen smiling and smoking a cigarette while she watches Drago viciously and deliberately beat Creed to death as Creed's wife frantically cries in the background to "Stop the fight!"

I'd be worried when EU can make it's own energy, make it's own drones, hell, I'd even settle for replacement numbers on archaic equipment like AFVs for the Ukraine front.
That's because world's 2nd and 3rd largest economy are all tanking like hell. China doesn't exist in a vacuum. China still has the world's largest internal spending and economy, with no other nation being able to credibly challenge the position.
If I recall you wanted economic war with the west and so you got it. We are depleting the west across multiple fronts, hollowing out their industry and forcing them to choose between widespread Chinese profiteering at their expense or fiscally unsustainable policies. And the cost so far is less demand from these economies that are being hurt. At least China maintained the largest absolute gdp growth in 2024 and a wage growth higher than gdp growth. That indicates an economy which her rivals are not able to match today or for the foreseeable future, yet.
These small modular reactors are not really feasible.
The problem is not really technological, but more economic.
You are building a small power plant that has limited output.
Yet, the requirements are no different from a large power plant (ie. engineering the structure to withstand a crash from a 747, security requirements, safety clearances, decommissioning plan [needs to be done regardless of life extension], waste disposal, etc.)
So these overhead costs just raise the cost per W
just watched this video. It seems that the first time PLAAF shot down an American spy balloon was July 1973 near the nuclear test site. The pilot opened fire at 190 metres to the balloon and went through the debris causing one engine to shut down. He glided the J-6 for 100km due to short of fuel, then restarted the working engine and landed safely.
China is already playing the Game Theory with the West, but not in they way they wanted it played. Game Theory was invented by the Western imperial powers to predict and game their adversaries through a combination of psychology and maths. Hence they do things to elicit responses from China and to hopefully get into its decision-making cycle. For example, by provoking proxy wars, bad economic policies, bad diplomacy, etc. China wants to avoid the fate of the Soviet Union, who had a history of responding directly to the US's moves. If you play the US's game, they'll win and you'll lose.
China have been evolving the way its been playing the Game. During the Trump administration, China was mostly reactive, appointing "wolf-warriors" like Zao Lijian to say shocking words at the US after the shocking things they did. Mirror tariffs, mirror sanctions, mirror kidnapping, etc. Math right? But pure math doesn't always work. For example, the US could always tariff way more Chinese imports than China could tariff American imports. Tariffs are also not healthy for the global competitiveness of the local industries in the long term. That is why it is not a good idea to do tit-for-tat tariffs just for the sake of math. Mirroring the opponent just to settle scores, is not smart. China is trying to be more strategic with its moves.
China has to hurt the West in a more strategic way. Sanctioning Baerbock is gonna be so fun, but what is the long term benefit of that? She is just a sock puppet for the Yankees. So why not tariff European brandy to piss-off Macron? To remind the EU that they are all in this together. If Baerbock and Ursula does something stupid next again, maybe Meloni's Italian winemakers can get to feel the heat too. It puts all of EU on edge, slowly dividing it.
If you observe China these days, it appears more calm, it acts passive-aggressive, and is also taking a number of quiet victories. China doesn't need to telegraph to its adversaries what it intends to do. So when things happen, it surprises people, and makes us wonder if China had really planned these things out. Things like the Russia-China bromance, BRICS expansion, Saudi-Iran peace deal, etc. You need to zoom out and look at the bigger picture to see the Game in play today.
What cities did your extended family lived in? Is it the big ones?
The economy of China is changing, and this adjustment is very painful indeed. The pre-trade war economic model of contract manufacturing and property speculation is dead, and millions of urban Chinese got caught up in this. If you think the current economic malaise and "lost future" in China is bad. Take a look at the developed parts of SEA, South Asia, and the rest of the Global North. Unemployment and underemployment is up. Businesses have shuttered. Factories are closing down. Unlike in China, inflation is also rampant. Also like in urban China, the current generation cannot afford property like the last one. The whole global economy have been f**ked by the combo of Covid, the Ukraine War, and the new Middle East wars. People have to accept this fact and adjust the way they earn money, or get left behind. Yes this sucks. China is hurting, but the West and the rest are hurting just as much if not more. The West is making a big mistake by starting all these crap, and then doubling down on stupid. So the best course of action now is to allow them to continue effing up take more heat, which the CPC is doing quite well.
