What the guy wrote BTW.
This entire thing is just one gigantic bruh moment. Leave it to Elon to desperately save one racist yakubian while massively censoring left wing users on X.
I think a good analogy of this process is Japan and the anime they produce. Back in the 80s when the economy was good and things looked like they will continue to improve they were making shows like Legend of Galactic Heroes and Macross which the focus was on grand geopolitics and what sort of future human should aim for once humans pass the point of type 1 civilisation.
Then once the 90s hit and the economy goes into stagnation shows like Evangelion starts to show up. While by no means bad shows they are more inwardly looking and smaller in scale in the stories they tell.
Fast forward to today and it's almost all highly commercialized slop with no depth designed only to extract money from fans instead of trying to tell any profound stories, with the rare gems like Madoka showing up.
China's media and national mood is very much on the up and up and forward looking, 河殇 type stories are looked down upon and stories like Nezha 2 with its "rebellion against the hegemony" theme is extremely popular as evident by its 1 billion and still increasing revenue. Particularly I want to point out, Black Myth Wukong spent an entire act on this "in particular over the age reversing substance that is produced by rendering down humans" thing with the Webbed Hollow and the "immortality pill created by farming mutated human" subplot. I think it's not a coincidence that two separate creative piece are angling for the "there's an anti-human hegemony around here and it needs to be taken down" hook, made all the more poignant from those stories from Americans saying how they need to regularly sell blood plasma to make ends meet on Rednote.

Goes to show much much the world absolutely needs the USA to crash and burn itself to the ground in that worst possible way aka ‘Civil war’ style with no possible way of recovery. The nation has held the world back for so long that quite frankly it has become an eyesore that needs to be completely brought down to the point where its so called position of leadership can be taken away for good. The nation simply cannot lead the world to a brighter future, hence it needs to move aside and let a more worthy nation lead the world. As harsh as it sounds, it’s good that Japan isn’t going to do the leading due to its in ability to apologise for their past bullshit but simply put, it’s Chinas destiny to show those Japs how it ought to be done. Their so called partnership with America means that Japan can never rise but China can and will rise higher then any other because fundamentally, China doesn’t bend over for anyone, especially for thieves that pretend to be intelligent and loves to hold everyone back out of entitlement and greed. Especially true for its leadership that seems to salivate any chance they have in human suffering along with its infuriating tendency to escape real punishment, but it’s only a matter of time when justice finally catches up…

Unsurprisingly, telling the Saudis what price they will sell their oil makes them uncooperative. They already tried it with Biden $60. Trump did the same thing in a different way with $45. Not to mention that the Saudi budget will run into issues if the US ever gets to dictate Saudi oil prices.

FFS, so much for looking for links between ASPI and USAID...
I mean, this is what the says:
Why mention USAID if none of the now-threatened "scrappy" nonprofits that the author is concerned about receive funding from that recently beleaguered department? If we are to believe this tweet, the above excerpt from the ASPI piece might not quite reach the threshold of a lie, but it would appear to be a misleading circumlocution to avoid saying "US State Department".
Question is, why? One reason might be that ASPI too is a consistent beneficiary of grants (p. 119).
