A country the size of China will not fall due to external threats, but internal ones. The Soviet Union was not militarily conquered but fell due to economic stagnation and internal discontent.
China has already came out saying that espionage efforts to infiltrate China have been dramatically increased. Wonder who.is making all these efforts....

I think they said he was mentally ill. You really cant do anything to prevent this except from increasing mental health support for these people

We can be thankful though, that he couldn't access guns and he couldn't do more damage
How come the picture that they used was from Hong Kong police?

Thats just their usual stock photo for all things Chinese.

You cant possibly expect every article to have its own photo. You would quickly run into legal and copyright issues.

Better to have a roster of stock photos and cycle them between articles

F--K, again? What is it with these crazy people? At least there seems to be no fatalities this time.

Yes. I couldn't imagine the carnage if China had the same gun laws as the U.S.

As I said it was propaganda to make China look bad. Because in that photo there were two big bad mean looking policeman with big long guns in a commie township Because of one bloke with a knife.

Thats just their usual stock photo for all things Chinese.

This is exactly how the western propaganda operate. I mean, come on, a large mainstream MSM don't have other file photos?

My friend, while those reasons did not help, those were not the root cause of demise of USSR (otherwise the west would have fallen long time ago).

By 1990, USSR's economic growth was not as fast as before, but there was no economic crisis like those in the western capitalist countries. Its human development index was among the first tier in the world according to U.N.

It was sold out by the officials who wanted enrich themselves by becoming capitalists. Vast state owned industries were privatized and those officials or their family and friends becomes the new billionaire class.

That's the real lesson that Chinese people needs to learn.
