I actually hate how popular China has become nowadays. I noticed literally every scum and uneducated people regardless of which country are all literally eying China right now and wanting to come here (just reddit alone you can already see how many unqualified people are asking about ways to work in China), and many of them are in fact already here. Don't get me wrong, back then when China was poor and laws were even more laxed, there's already tons of scums and sexpats/ LosersBackHome here exploiting shit with almost no consequences, but the difference now is that way more people are aware about coming, all while protection against these people are still very much non-existent.

One of the big issues is that China (or rather businesses in China) are actually still accommodating these blue collar and unskilled people while treating them as some kind of VIPs. And as much as countries like Japan has tons of issues, but one thing I noticed about them is that they significantly raised the bar for foreigners going there nowadays, you can't just go in with you white/foreign skin and "want to be a teacher", you actually need an advanced degree (masters or PhD) or serval publications in the area of your expertise and in the field that you want to teach in order to be qualified. ALSO, while some Japanese people (or even Koreans) still possessed a level of white/foreign worship, but I noticed that it has significantly decreased over the years, while I DO NOT see much improvement in China (yes China had improved in this area, but not much at all as I said). I do not know what the future hold, but I do not like things going in this direction at all.

While I understand the importance of PR and national progress, but why can't we also have policies weeding out useless people at the same time? especially when there's already so many locals fighting for spots.

P.S. one of my biggest rage triggers is seeing Chinese parents thinking that a random white guy/ foreigner must be better at teaching English than a Chinese person, even if the Chinese individual had actual incredible background in English, which is not uncommon at all given there's literally so many Overseas born Chinese or Chinese people who are top Ivy-league/ OxBridge graduates. So, when will this mindset change? If the mindset of the people are still being poisoned, and Chinese people are still mindlessly cheapening themselves towards anything foreign, then I really see very little value in progress.
To me its less about self-hate, (though there's plenty of that to go around) but lack of exposure. However, China has got to build its social immunity somehow. Years of dealing with foreign tourism and immigration has made Japan and Korea much more bold and direct in taking action (because foreigners are no longer as special or unique to them). China still is relatively cut off from international travel so foreigners are still rare, especially outside Tier 1 cities. In general, Chinese are often fascinated by what is exotic them and also want to be accommodating to whom they see as guests.

I do, however, hope China does not ever become dependent on tourism as France, Italy or Japan as economy interests will demand servile policies to foreign tourists.

ive been seeing a lot of this sentiment on twitter, ever since Kimi killed any American dreams of being an AI superpower. But for real, the only way you can convince Chinese AI researchers or any Chinese ppl to throw their lot in with America is to make Chinese people as divine as what they are attempting to do with Jewish people. For instance, the current state is that any boycott or critique of Jewish ppl must be met with social and financial suicide, well I’d suggest the anglosphere (because it’s not just America) start off by giving money and funding to each Chinese person, the way the Australian federal gov did to Jewish ppl in the latest budget, and also make it a standing rule that if a Chinese person is bullied or murdered then 1,000 random men, women and children of each ethnic group must be put to death to convey the divinity of the Chinese people.
just in case it’s not immediately, obvious I am satirising the current western attempt at trying to create a new religion out of worshiping Jews.

The reason why you don’t hear about Western internet streamers like Johnny Somali doing what they’re known for in China is because they fear they won’t get away with it and be thrown into harsh prisons where their rights will be treated with disregard.

Problem with China is they do treat Westerners differently. When they do act up, China just sees them as a nuisance and most of the time would rather just deport them. Or how about drugs? Clearly even the ones that don’t smuggle drugs for personal use, China is less likely to execute them by law. China should execute Westerners who commit intentionally serious crimes. Look at the British man who rape a Chinese girl in public in Beijing. What happened to him? I like how a Chinese man beat him into unconsciousness but what did the government do? Because the British just cried racism for it getting any attention in the Chinese media, I bet the authorities didn’t punish him like he deserved. That should be a death penalty offense for foreigners if they dare to do that in China. Even with YouTube’s strict policies, the last time I checked, you can find the video of the rape there. That’s how not serious Westerners see raping a Chinese girl is to them. They won’t show white dead babies in their media but you see plenty of non-white dead babies there. How you discourage it from happening is just like why you don’t see the Johnny Somalis of the world going to China.

I heard that lots of Indians are applying for visas to go to China since it’s become less restrictive. China should be concerned just from how India supposedly helped Israel with target information because Iran was less strict with Indians traveling there. You don’t think they would help the West with espionage in China. And you know Indians will make a big stink when caught.

China is popular but the Chinese lack confidence to treat foreigner the right way. Japan and South Korea is no less popular but they don't actually be tolerant to foreigner the way the Chinese is. It is correlated to how the Chinese feel proud about themselves, which unfortunately I don't feel the Chinese is much proud of.
@Expert1324
Northwesterners (excluding Xinjiang for obvious reasons and includes Shanxi and Henan) are completely exempt from this because white worshipping is completely non existent there. We are very proud to be Chinese as the northwest pretty much is mainly made up Chinese architecture and is leading the way on creating a modern variant of Chinese architecture. Don't forget that Haipai Qipao dosent exist there as Hanfu is prominent in western China in general compared to the East and originated in the North West.

I am talking about commercial/public settings, where you are talking about completely private settings. I fail to see how anything you said had anything to do with what I said. Furthermore, if psychopaths want to regulate, they would regulate. Don't agree? Pay lawyers to argue it in court. Let see who would go bankrupt first.

You can retrain a Chinese model into an American model by modifying the open weights. So it's virtually impossible to prevent commercial entities from using "Chinese" models because they are no longer "Chinese" after modifying it by post-train fine tuning it. It becomes an "American" model. This is the beauty of open weight models. It's virtually un-enforceable and impossible to determine if it's originally Chinese as it's a new model. So basically you have a bunch of "American" open source models modified from Chinese original, how can US govt identify and regulate this?

Also there is no precedent for US govt regulating what open source software a commercial entity is using. So far, it's been preventing Federal agencies or govt contractor or at most copyright enforcement. Open source is virtually impossible to ban or regulate, esp. if hostable overseas cloud servers.

Enforcing a ban on open source LLM would be an even bigger loser move than banning chip exports to China or even the Iran war catastrophe.

Especially when the J-10C is the low end of PLAAF's 4th gen hi-lo mix -- with the high end being the J-16.
I dont think there is such thing as low end if its part of Airpower. its team work like Football.
only thing i read that MIG-31 25 km altitude is outside AAMs no escape envelope.
This was before Ukraine.

Earlier, in Syrian skies, the Su-35 managed to lock on to a Raptor (as a target), while the American aircraft failed to detect the "Russian platform."
Optoelectronic and electronic reconnaissance systems provide the fighter pilot with high situational awareness. Flight information is displayed on two LCD screens in picture-in-picture mode. Combat missions are simplified by the intelligent support of the information and control system. Group air operations of up to 16 Su-35 aircraft are possible, with automated information exchange and target assignment.

This person need to update his knowledge.
Its traditional values and traditional religions that defeated Germany and not Stalin industrialization which was basically left over from science in Russian empire which was good enough for next couple of decades. All three top Russians are telling the same thing. its family that shape the person. The Soft Power goes much beyond that. there is no such thing as Motherland.

"Family is love, loyalty, children, and, of course, caring for the happiness and well-being of loved ones, both now and in the future. Family always serves as a natural incentive for anyone to achieve success, improve their lives, develop their village, city, and, ultimately, our great, vast country," Medvedev emphasized.
According to him, it is within the family that the foundation of any person's worldview is formed. "And ultimately, their destiny," he added.
