Why they want Xi to go to Brussel perosnally, when it was Premier before? For FT article?
.....


....

"[...]The bureau said in its decision that it barred the pro-Russia Sosoaca, a former lawyer and leader of the far-right nationalist S.O.S. Romania party, from entering the race on the same grounds that she was excluded from last year’s annulled election. The CCR argued that her public discourse, including opposition to Romania’s European Union and NATO memberships, made her unfit to uphold the constitutional obligations of the presidency.[...]"

Predictions about what would've happened are always tricky, but I don't think you can ignore the fact that the US created the conditions for China's rise via Nixon's visit and Clinton's incorporation of China in the WTO

The geopolitical conditions were different, though. Nixon wanted to use China as a bulwark against the USSR and Vietnam, Clinton wanted access to cheap manufacturing as the neoliberal shareholder value-maxing push of the 90s depended on it and didn't think they would ever pose a threat and would be ever content with just being a source of cheap labor.

There is also the fact the way the Chinese state is structured allows for a unifying force capable of directing resources towards goals, India needs a Cultural Revolution-level event and get rid of its caste system before its able to achieve anything they claim.

NYTIMES also accidentally admit that they are US propaganda arm


I read an analysis that pointed out that this round of dismantling the US propaganda and regime change machine is fueled by techbro hubris and ignorance, and it seems that way.

According to it, Muskrat, Thiel and their incel techbro army sees stuff like USAID, RFE, RFA and VOA as relics of the Cold War not relevant to the current world(could be somewhat true for VOA and Radio Freewhatever) and that the internet is enough to achieve the same goals. This would jive with the fact that they probably live in a bubble of their own farts and completely ignore that the majority of the people in the world in the places they want to influence(that isn't the anglosphere and honorary aryans) don't have running water, let alone regular access to the internet and cant afford Starlink.

They must think twitter and reddit are the real world.

Sorry if this is crass, but it is true that the female reporters even if they get laid off can at least live off their sugar daddies. What becomes of the male reporters?

Don’t be sexiest, laid off male reporters can sell their asses just as easily as their female colleagues. Indeed, with how rampant homosexuality is in the western monied elite these days, it may well be the women who are at a comparative disadvantage in this regard.

the Democrats find themselves on the same side as China, if only they weren't racist they'd embrace it.
Yeah no. Much of the current escalation directed at China was ironiclly started by the Democrats rather than republicans. For example Obama started the Pivot to Asia in order to contain China growth and development and Pelosi and Biden escalated the Taiwan Strait by visiting the island to encourange independence.

Looks like my backup career as TSMC lab tech is secure! If they are desperate enough to hire burger flippers I’m more than over qualified, with clean room experience under my belt and all. This is assuming they don’t send us camping first… However, they’d make an exception for the folks keeping their mobile devices running?
If there is an irreversible contamination of their entire wafer production line, I hear "worker fatigue" is an appropriate excuse

With the way things are going, odds are there will be camps right beside the new fabs, so the newly enslaved skilled workforce can help finish build them and then work in them. So no exceptions for camping, you just get to work from camp instead of being sent to one of their new human-fire power stations.
