You mean anti-satellite missiles (ASAT), not ICBMs.

Russophobia is a very expensive "pleasure". European countries are spending billions on energy support. Europe’s massive tab for securing energy supplies and cushioning consumers from price spikes soars past €700 billion.

That yes, sorry I just found out earlier, my apologies. In the end, I guess what I meant is that for all the supposed tech that the USA has, it still hasn’t managed to win the war in Ukraine in a manner that befits a real super power. Hence the amount of satellites while it is an asset worth using, it doesn’t seem to be the ultimate game changer, almost the same was what the Himars was supposed to be. Heck considering that the USA hasn’t put up a replacement for international space station while China has sent one up just recently under its own tech means that Chinas space tech isn’t behind at all, maybe it’s ahead in what’s that the USA has yet to comprehend given that the USA seems to print lots of money, yet the results are quite lacking
During the late 20th and early 2000s, officials' corruption was well known. Many state-owned enterprises and factories went bankrupt, lots of workers were unemployed, and their living standards plummeted. Many of them had worked for the country for decades, and they felt abandoned. This also leads to a deterioration of public security levels. I was a little child, and remembering to hang out at night was something dangerous. Someone would rob passersby by motorcycles, regardless of whether the victim would be injured or not. At that time, the bus station and the railway station were also dangerous places. My mother once saw a woman's gold earrings being forcibly dragged away from her ears, bleeding straight away. Until now, I am still vigilant when I am waiting at the station.
In rural areas, the burden on farmers is increasing, and I have heard of some places where farmers do not earn enough to pay taxes. It is not uncommon for children can not to go to school, and for adults not to have enough to eat. Many people choose to give up farming and flee to work in the city to support the children and elderly people who stay at home. But the constant rush to the city leads caused many other problems. There was a "hand chopping party" in Guangdong. When they were robbing the victim's property, if the victim tries to resist, they chopped the victim's hand. Many of these criminals came from the same village in Guangxi Province.
My grandfather was an old CPC member who participated in the war in Korea. He never stopped paying the party fees until his death. When he was about to retire in the early 1990s, he believed that the situation was far from the ideal of joining the Party. He had submitted several applications to withdraw from the Party and were all rejected. The sharp increase in social injustice has disappointed many people who have experienced the Mao era. When Xi began to fight corruption, my grandfather was very supportive.
Freedom is worth 2 euros lmao
Train stations were an absolute mess back then. Rural people with their many bags, scalpers, pickpockets, child kidnappers, people refilling water bottle from the trash, etc. It was an absolute mess, but it also existed in the late 80s and should be considered a leftover Deng XiaoPing problem rather than a Jiang one.
You think it's bad that gang leaders are pocketing all that CIA money and giving out peanuts to the protesters, it gets better:
Across all the TG groups they're all complaining that they can't even get that 80RMB, all the leaders are either arrested or have absconded with the money.
There's also hilarious number of under cover MSS lurking those groups and taking down names, plus randoms trolling them or watching them quietly while eating watermelon.
As that famous line from that TV show 潜伏 says "嘴上都是主意，心里都是生意".
My advice to CIA is when you are financing Coloured Revolution you can't save small money by going to the phone book of people with bad credit rating - they're just going to take your money and run and here we are.
Communist Youth Leagues are already trolling them on douyin by releasing educational videos on how to engage department of labour in event of pay disputes with casual workers. At the end of the video they say technically foreign companies operating in China don't fall under the jurisdiction of department of labour but hey, you should give them a try anyway, you never know maybe they can sort out your pay dispute too.

Any pilots here? What are your thoughts on the matter?

Pity they went with the CIA production company and got paid peanuts. Had they went independent and collected direct from the audience they would have made a windfall
