Hatred causes imbalance. Fighters often taunt enemies to make them commit to errors in anger. That Chinese people were shielded from that hatred likely allowed us to learn from America and develop ourselves as a foremost. In the long term, this is the correct strategy to becoming powerful enough to defeat an overwhelming enemy. Countries that are rabidly anti-US usually fail to make progress into a major power because not only do they reveal themselves to the enemy before they are ready, they also failed to develop themselves because in their hatred, they refused to acknowledge that there is much to humbly learn from this vile enemy. North Korea being the prime example of this effect. But we are at the inflection point where we reach peer level and our citizens need to know who the enemy really is in order to get them to push with all their might in the right direction.

Another practical reason to shield Chinese citizens from the truth of how toxic modern America has become is that hatred is incredibly easy to instil in people’s hearts and minds but incredibly hard to unburden oneself from.

This is the mistake American idiot politicians made by whipping up anti-China sentiment for petty political gains, they have created a monster that they will not be able to tame and put back into its box. So now they are all trapped on this runaway train even though plenty of them probably secretly wish to get off.

China doesn’t need or want that needless burden. This is basically the only reason war between China and American isn’t yet inevitable, and I for one am glad of China’s restraint.

According to Canadian press reports, there still about 300 Canadians stuck somewhere in a potential warzone.

It is that expression Canadians love to say, "Shit out of luck."

Will these Chinese vessels make a return voyage to evacuate others? Just on humanitarian grounds?

The situation is quite fluid.

There is probably a livestock transport ship that can divert for those 300

Chinas restraint has limits but I do agree that letting hatred govern the actions of China is not the right way as that will get in the way for China future development and ultimately will cause unwanted problems. Where certain problems would’ve been solved in a single day if they tried (that is if China had it in the first place which I seriously doubt), the USA has an systemic gun problem along with a systemic racism issue that could’ve been dealt with if the USA is United under a true wish for peace, of which I see nothing of the sort right now and this issue has continued from the day that nation is founded. Both of these issues is quite literally killing the nation right now due to all the division and hatred that it creates which gets in the way of enacting policies that could ensure that maybe their food and electrical is secure. And also account for everything else that happened to the USA just this year alone and really, China only has to last either to end of this year or even the next year at the latest for the damages done to the USA to reach levels of societal collapse that cannot be reversed and for all hell to break loose. The fundamental rule of the USA that it has been founded on hatred and genocide and as history has shown time and time and again that nations founded on such principles (basically Europe to be quite Frank) have always fallen at a time when they felt they had everything and once they fall, they will never rise again and will ultimately end up becoming irrelevant (like Greece, Italy, UK, France and even Germany for however long Hitler lasted). It’s just that with the crazy amount of hatred and madness that the USA is governed by, I guess we simply need to be witness to be a fall so great that historians will be doing what China is doing in regards to Japan, endless documentaries, history books and movies depicted the fall of the USA, only that it will last centuries and many countries will be participating and the only job the remnants of the USA will get is depicting them losing over and over again, kinda like what the USA does to Russia right now, imagine the ‘emotional damage’ this will cause and imagine also how many of us would feel that being born as Chinese (other then those losers and traitors but no body cares about them) means that we are all winners

Its not exactly a massive priority compared to army which is more likely to see use from rifles.

More info from the HIMARS in PH

HIMARS’ Failure To Hit Its Target​

To simulate a real-world scenario in which troops have to sink an adversary ship, the first HIMARS rocket was targeted at the center mast of the vessel to take out its communication system, while the rest of the five rounds were intended to sink it.

However, the first shot missed the target because the vessel was drifting and “was not in the correct location,” as announced by US military personnel. The first shot missed the target vessel by approximately six to nine meters, while the five other shots hit different points.

A second set of HIMARS rockets were then prepared for firing while the CIFEC calculated the new position of BRP Pangasinan; however, an aerial intruder was detected by the US and Philippine military radars, which delayed the exercise by a few minutes.

“The range is cold because of safety issues, because of an aerial interloper that was reported to have entered the opera box [operational box]. We are waiting for the range to clear. The interloper was a private unregistered single craft aircraft in the middle of the ocean,” a US military personnel announced.

Once the intruder was escorted out of the operational area, the second set of HIMARS rockets were fired, and the exercise continued.

Finally, the US and Philippine warplanes took turns attacking the vessel with guns and bombs. A US Air Force (USAF) MQ-9 Reaper drone flew overhead the vessel, providing images of the target to commanders calling in the strikes.

The final blow was delivered by a Marine Corps (USMC) F-35B Lighting II stealth fighter, and the vessel is said to have sunk at around 2:50 p.m.


So much lol

Well, that’s certainly one way to stop the PLAN - make them laugh so hard they are all too busy being bent over clutching their bellies to man their stations.

US host Clayton Morris: There are new reports today that President Biden is pressuring Zelensky to launch a spring offensive now or start surrender talks. So says Politico. The Biden team fears the consequences of a failed Ukrainian counteroffensive. The Biden administration is quietly bracing that if Ukraine's spring counteroffensive falls short, critics at home and allies abroad will argue that America has failed. It's time to go. We're done here. Zelensky is everything. We're starting a new page and focusing on China, that's the message.

Frankly I don't think the US cares whether the offensive succeeds or fails because it will be an offramp for them either way to focus on China. They already reaped the benefits of destabilising and deindustrialising Europe while preserving and even expanding NATO. Any longer is just reducing the profits they have gained from this war.

On the contrary I think Ukraine holding off on the offensive might keep them in the war longer though they will just cook up another offramp down the road.
