Yup, agree completely.
That is why I am laughing my ass off every single day!
Haha! Haha!
We are witnessing history being written.
The good news, it is essentially bloodless struggle between China and America, and they are still trying to work things out.
The bad news, there is too blood going on elsewhere, including two of China's closer relationships, who China is backing all the way.
That part is not so funny, not at all. Kind of serious.
But, in times like these, kind of good to be optimistic.
We find a way through.
I find it laughable when the west tries to say how bad HK riots were. On its worst day, the HK riots were still less intense than your weekly football hooligan riot. When PSG won, that riots had more casualties than the entire year for HK.
As for the US, you ever played those SIM games were you need to manage the city or its police force? It looks a lot like those games on at least medium difficulty. It can always get worse.
This is important. People here often complain that China isn't doing enough against its enemies. I would argue that China is engaged in two proxy wars against its main enemies right now - against NATO via Russia and against India via Pakistan. And it's the ideal form of proxy warfare, one where Chinese troops are not involved whatsoever.
If you dispute my characterization of the Russia/Pakistan conflicts as China's proxy wars, ask yourself if either conflict can be sustained if China didn't exist.

You better be typing this shit from a ship heading to Gaza, with your big guts and all.
The Chinese government has the guts to fight and win trade and tech wars with the US and deter and prepare for actual war. That's how much guts the Chinese peope want our government to have, no more, no less.
And... we need to reciprocate because a couple of decades ago, the people of Gaza come to our aid? Or what's the connection?
Serving Chinese people and defending our shores/oceans, as it should be and as it was purposed to do from Chinese tax money.

You got it backwards. It was India who attacked Pakistan, and the Ukraine war would not have happened without relentless NATO expansion since the fall of the Soviet Union and the regime change of the legitimately elected Ukrainian government because they had the audacity to accept Russia’s better deal over the EUs.
It is the west that is endlessly trying to cause problems and destroy countries left right and centre for the unforgivable sin of not wanting to be their slaves.
It’s hilarious to argue China is waging a proxy war against NATO when it’s not even selling arms to Russia. If China was seriously waging a proxy war against NATO using Russia, the battlefield would be over actual NATO territories right now.
But China is wise enough not to gift the EU to the Americans for free, so it’s limiting its assistance to Russia both as a fig leaf to the EU, as well as keeping a ready sword over their collective heads to prevent them from getting too close to the US. Because the moment the EU pledges itself to the US in its planned war of aggression against China is the same moment China flips the collective EU and NATO from an asset to a liability for the Americans by opening the floodgates of Chinese arms to Russia so that it can not only crush Ukrainian resistance rapidly, but also seek to repay the rest of the EU for all the Russian blood they helped to spill in Ukraine.
But that’s really endgame moves where once committed, you have to see things through to the bitter end and fast. The EU is still a vast and rich collection of nations with vast natural resources and hundreds of millions of citizens. Given time and if sufficiently motivated to endure hardships, they can build a formidable military industrial complex and sustain a vast standing army. That’s why the play with them is to either incentivise them to stay out and continue their comfortable lives, or give them no mercy and take them out before they can start to realise much of their potential. Needless to say, the Russians, even with functionally unlimited Chinese arms, don’t have the numbers for that, so China will need to commit a significant proportion of its own armed forces to the European front. So on balance, it’s far better for everyone if the EU can be persuaded to site the next war out instead of escalating it into a full blown 3rd world war.
Congrats to India. After over 20 years of construction they have finished the Chenab bridge. The world's highest bridge with a deck height at 359m above the river below. Albeit with only a single rail lane.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Because China is finishing the their Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in a few months time. Its deck is going to stand 625m above the river below, far surpassing the Chenab bridge.
It is also longer and wider than the Chenab Bridge, carrying a highway on top of it. Construction of this bridge started in 2022. So about 3 years of construction time.
We should thank India and it's media for contributing extra significance to the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge.

That is not the world's highest bridge. May be highest "railway" bridge. Looks like it's 13th highest bridge and China has 10 bridges higher than this. According to this wiki list, since 2016, the highest bridge is Duge Bridge with a deck height of 565 meters.

Indians are really diving into the bull. They’re resorting to speaking for the Chinese people that they don’t want Beijing to allow Pakistan to buy the J-35 because they haven’t paid for their J-10s. Just goes to show how fearful they are of Pakistan getting stealth fighters at all. The first comment from the channel already stating it’s no joke knowing what’s obvious.
