And the Jai Hinds immediately flock to his comment section to prove his point LMFAO


It's just a fact of life. Nobody has any right to lecture the Supapowar Vishwaguru about what it needs to improve. Especially not a foreigner. If anything, it is the Vishwaguru who lectures you.

Industrial policy is for losers. What truly matters is the power of talk. The Vishaguru is a world-class Supapowar, while China is still a developing nation. This is the mantra that makes a winning Supapowar. Repeat and shout it out loud for success.

Interesting timeline and updates I found of the Francis Scott Key Bridge that collapsed in Baltimore just over 2 years ago in March 2024. Key highlights are:

1. Estimates of reconstruction ballooned from $1.9B to between $4.3B to $5.2B
2. Won't be expected to open until late 2030 (6+ years after the collapse)
3. Baltimore hired a firm called Kiewit to rebuild the bridge back in 2024 but dumped them last month because of disagreements over cost.
4. The ship crashed into the bridge because it lost power. The operator of the ship was a India/Singaporean company. guy in charge of the ship's maintenance was an Indian national and he is being charged.

A microcosm of US decline and eventual collapse indeed.

It’s ridiculous to think you can prove you’re Chinese just by putting a Chinese national flag alongside a Singaporean actor’s picture as your background. You keep saying we shouldn’t be overly critical of our allies, but Russia is never China’s ally. China and Russia do not share an alliance relationship, which is an objective fact stated in official diplomatic wording. Stop stirring up meaningless arguments here, it is truly laughable.

Furthermore, you claimed that offending Russia now would leave China humiliated for another century. That is nothing but fantasy. Without China’s continuous support, Russia’s 150 million people would have long been swallowed up by NATO. It simply lacks the strength to bring any humiliation to our country. If we intended to, we could easily bring Russia to its collapse. Russia is merely a buffer zone, and both sides only take advantage of each other. There is no genuine friendship or sincere affection between the two nations.

It is your personal choice to fawn over Russia, yet you cannot represent all Chinese people. What’s more, your identity is questionable. You might not even be a Chinese citizen, and could well be a Russian yourself. Please stop inciting pointless disputes. It is utterly absurd to claim that criticizing a so-called ally at a critical moment of major-power games will bring serious consequences. For a start, I am just voicing my personal opinions on an independent forum, which can never trigger bilateral conflicts. Personal rapport between leaders such as Trump, Putin and President Xi can never represent national diplomatic relations. Such logic is extremely naive and immature.

As a matter of fact, China has never officially recognized Russia as an ally, and Russia will not foolishly keep consuming itself against NATO endlessly. No matter how blindly you fawn on Russia, Russians will never truly respect China. They export resources to China merely out of mutual needs and practical interests, and this fundamental fact will never change. What is more, Russia still occupies Chinese ancestral land up to now, and this historical regret can never be eliminated. Anyone who ignores national history and territorial dignity acts as "han jian", betraying the land and interests of the whole country.

Even if the war stops now, Russia will still be locked in a competition with NATO and Europe for years afterwards. And Europe is many times larger in terms of population and productive capacity, and is rearming.

Russia will struggle to match this, so it will be consumed with this competition.

---

And if China is wealthier and more technologically advanced than the USA or Europe, then Russia should respect that.

China has been talking about retaliation for a long time, but I don’t understand why there is so little reciprocity in response to hostile actions. When responses do occur, they seem sporadic and delayed. Meanwhile, the opposing side continues to act aggressively without facing consequences.

Yes, Beijing indeed has indeed TACOed (XACO) toward the EU when it comes to trade, especially in EVs and after French authorities harassed TEMU shipments. Beijing’s retaliation were symbolic and did little to hobble EU’s export to China.
