You know these days when I see some dumb comment or analysis by westoid news, I tend to tune it out instead of paying attention. I'm getting older and real life issues are taking much more importance here. I just don't have the same energy to care as much now.

I dunno if that is the correct approach because just blatantly ignoring all stuff seems as criticism is not a good thing to have. Just look at Jai Hinds. They are never wrong and thus they never learn.

But at the same time, a lot of this analysis is often garbage and frankly a waste of time from people who by design cannot be objective regarding China. I personally have looked at the analysis performaned by Chinese leadership and believe it will prevail in spite of critics.

So what the correct approach?
I think it's fair to ignore most anti-China propaganda in mainstream media, because even American public trust in mainstream media has hit a historic record low.

So you aren't wrong to ignore it, most of American public already knows it's biased trash. Why bother getting too upset? I don't even bother with reddit idiots anymore either, the reality is different, they will learn the hard way.

This is honestly the scariest news I've seen this week. Jiankui He of CRISPR baby fame is allowed to have a new lab in Beijing. Does China really want to open that Pandora's box?
I don't think that this is a bad thing. The way they are doing these research in China, it is aimed at more positive applications such as removing genes that causes defects or diseases. It's the same argument with nuclear, AI, and virus research. There are always positives and terrifying negatives. The US always projects its evil intentions onto its adversaries. If they are saying that the Chinese are doing evil stuff with gene editing, then chances are, they are doing some real unethical shit themselves.

China has done human testing to create biologically enhanced super soldiers, says top U.S. official​

U.S. intelligence agencies didn't immediately respond to requests for comment about whether China seeks super soldiers like those in such films as "Captain America."



This news/propaganda came out four years ago, written by none other than John Ratcliffe, the next director of the CIA ;)
Why the hell the Chinese wanna create a "Captain America" when they can create legions of Space Marines?

What evil stuff? If we make super soldiers, good. If we make ultra athletes, good. Science is simply the power to choose where you would have no such power at all without it. Never be scared to practice science. Never turn your back on science. Never try to limit science. Because science can lift you to the top when it is in your hands or bury you under the ground when it is in your enemy's hands. Worship only science, every kind of science, and all aspects of every kind of science, forever, and you will dominate the universe.

It'll be interesting to see what Rubo and Waltz's appointment will mean for the US's stance on Russia. They were both staunch advocates for Ukraine previously, but in recent months changed their tune to align more with Trump's sentiments for a negotiated settlement. No doubt a large part of this shift was ass kissing to get jobs in the administration, but unlike the Trump, Vance, Maga wing of the Republican party I don't think they would be okay with abandoning Ukraine to its fate if a negotiated settlement couldn't be worked out. Maybe they do prove to be just classic politicians and along with Trump would follow suit in throwing Ukraine's defence responsibilites onto the lap of the Europeans and just going, "have fun, fellas." But I do see on their part some advocacy for continuing confrontation with Russia, compared to other Republicans who still want to pull a "reverse Nixon."

It's also clear eventhough Trump and the media always markets him as an isolationist that Iran is still in the firing line. Trump himself may not have any immediate plans and Iran would still rather not have a war. But Israel would undoubtedly be emboldened further, they already have carte blanche now to depopulate Gaza and go all out in southern Lebanon, they might do the same and strike even more critical Iranian infrastructure, knowing if it does come to regional war the US will have its back.

And based on all this, we know the country that keeps the US awake at nights is still China, but the direction the US goes for Iran and Russia will determine the extent of their China hawkishness. Or maybe they're insane enough to just fight a three front war and hasten the US's decline.
Israel now has a perception that the US represents its "golden hour". In the U.S., Trump and the pro-Israeli team have all the power without brakes. The question of how Israel will use it now is not an issue for Israelis. They believe that there is no point in worrying. Trump has come to power. He is now in a proactive position of acting for Israel, giving the country carte blanche. The same will soon begin to happen with respect to China. As for Ukraine, it is secondary/tertiary to him. His stated position on Ukraine now and will continue to change due to internal US/Republican and external factors.



Trump can teach everyone a big lesson. He is indescribable in his certain determination to raise the stakes. IMHO Iran is really the first target. And it would be just fine, wonderful and great for Israel, for Israel, for the US, for the EU, for all of Western civilization.

Israel fears the alternative: an Iran with nukes under China's wing. Israel believes that China already has one court rabid dog - the DPRK, there will be a second - Iran.

And Iran cannot rely on Russia; Russia will not sign a treaty with Iran on defense in case of a nuclear strike. And in a conventional war, a consolidated strike by Israel and the U.S. military will cut Iran down to the roots.

This is highly unlikely. Iran is mountainous. Russia and China will likely supply Iran via the Caspian, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan.
They will do the same thing the US is doing to Russia is doing Ukraine where they are showering them with weapons.

Conversational mandarin is basically a skill even the person cleaning up tables at a fast food joint in HK should have.

This whole article is kind of nonsensical if you think about it logically.
Shouldn't Chinese banks take a greater share of business in a city in China? Can you imagine writing an article about Chinese banks not having more business in NYC?
Shouldn't the national language of China be used in day to day business? Let's complain that French isn't being used on Wall Street enough!
