Really? I don't know the statistics but it seems everyone I know is like that.

I’m not able to find cross-tabs of the 2018 China Time Use Survey but the “every young person in China just studies and does nothing else” is a nonsensical meme. You have a substantially unrepresentative cohort.

see for example - “[Screen time] and leisure-based computer use were higher in boys than in girls (p < 0.05), and 14.7% of boys and 8.9% of girls reported prolonged [screen time] ≥2 h/day), respectively (Table

). Weekend ST and time spent on a phone/tablet represented about 80% and 40% of ST, respectively.

“Happiness” has completely different meanings across countries and even individuals so these surveys are of very limited value but non-satiation and happiness absolutely can co-exist

Going a bit off topic, if you're interested,

The Scythians (today's English term) are called Saka in Persian, Sakasen in Russian, Sachsen in Old German and Dutch, and back to English as Saxon. Although, Western historians dismiss this origin of Saxons. The term is also related to Euxin which is Greek for Black Sea. The Sycthians occupied more or less the same lands as the Khazars, though there is a temporal difference of several centuries. Modern Zionists don't like this idea of equating Ashkenazi Jews to Khazars (because it dismantles their dogma), but ironically, the first modern figure to popularize and perpetuate this connection was an Ashkenazi Zionist Jew himself!

Interestingly, the earlier Jews of eastern Europe called Germany as Scythia and vice versa Scythia as Germania. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, c.1000 AD, the Picts (Scotland) are described as descendants of Scythians. Irish, Welsh, and English folklore have stories of Scythians discovering these islands.

Again, to go on another (related) tangent, to highlight the connection between the Anglo-Saxons and the "Jews"..

The coronation throne of the British royalty is a replica (or by some reports, the actual) throne of King David of the Kingdom of Judah, in the 1st Temple of Jerusalem. The stone under the seat is called Stone of Scone or Stone of Jacob (the patriarch of Israel), reportedly, the same stone which was placed under the Judean throne. Reports have it that it was shipped to Scotland and then captured by the English, after ancient Israel was destroyed by the Babylonians.

Very wierd object to possess.. unless ofcourse you are one of them... or pretend to be.

I think i have heard Matthew Ehret talk about this stuff, i don't know enough of history to really form a objective critic. How the European royal bloodlines think they are descendents of Christ etc. I do think Matthew Ehret is way to apologetic about US empire and shifts all the blame to the UK and minimises US agency same with all those Israel owns the US people. But for the rest i like to listen to his cults & occults stuff plus his anti UFO talks it creates some cool and weird narratives and a lot of late night wikipedia searches.

Is there a single Southeast Asian country with a wealthy Chinese minority that isn't anti-Chinese?

A quick answer would be Thailand. Even that can be questioned, due to recent events.

Still, the overall trend in SEA is positive for China. More nations are leaning more and more towards China, except for the few holdouts. They are just not good friends yet. Even Vietnam has been toning down it's hostility to China. China is winning the battle for hearts and minds, but progress still is slow.

There is still alot of white worshipping in SEA to de-program. The more a country adopts the language of their former colonizers, the harder it is to de-program them. Singapore, Malaysia, and the PH still speaks the most English in SEA, so they are the slowest to accept China's rise. The others have dropped their colonial languages, so they are not as easy to brainwash. It was possibly easier for them, because their colonial language was not English, except for Myanmar, who don't care about English proficiency anyways. English is hard to drop right now because of the current Anglo rules based world arrangement. I'm also a product of this world order.

Doesn't that mean the Comintern movement is dead? Pretty sad if that means the proletariat of the world at large will never succeed in their class struggle. The capitalists are willing to export ideology, covertly and overtly exert pressure to "convert" other states. Presently we see a slide back towards fascism and the working class (at least here in Canada) are largely in support of the trend. Also liberals, gone completely mask off.

Comrade, I suggest that you re-read On Contradiction and what is needed now will become clear. For now the primary contradiction on which all else rests is the contradiction inherent in the unequal exchange between the global hegemon and its closest vassals on the one hand, and the entire rest of the world on the other.

Only by resolving first this primary contradiction can we move to the next stage of international socialist revolution.

The lessons we need to learn from the Mao era and the experience of th USSR during the Cold War is that we must not be impatient - to resolve this contradiction and to create the material conditions that may result in global revolution will require the work of generations.

Modi is accusing Congress of "calluously" giving away the island of Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka in 1974. Typical RSS zero-sum game mentality.
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!

Since 1921, rulers in both India and Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) - British colonies at the time - had staked claim to fishing rights in the waters around Katchatheevu. But in 1974, India ended the dispute by relinquishing any claim over the island; two years later, India and Sri Lanka signed an agreement that prevented people from both countries from fishing in waters belonging to each other.

Now, that decades-old decision is in the headlines again after India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the country's opposition Congress party - which was in power at the time - of "callously" giving away the island to Sri Lanka. The Congress has reacted sharply, accusing Mr Modi of raking up the issue ahead of elections due to "desperation".

Katchatheevu is election debate topic today. A potential territorial dispute tomorrow.

In 1974, when Nehru's daughter Indira Gandhi was prime minister, the Indian government ended the dispute with Sri Lanka over the island.

Since then, political parties in Tamil Nadu have regularly raised the issue of Katchatheevu and filed cases in court challenging the agreement with Sri Lanka - two of these cases are pending in the Supreme Court. Fishermen from Tamil Nadu have often been arrested by Sri Lankan authorities when entering the country's waters, including around Katchatheevu, so the issue often makes headlines there.

Even India's foreign minister, S Jaishankar held a press conference, saying that the issue had been "hidden too long from the gaze of the public".

However, when asked if India planned to revisit the 1974 agreement with Sri Lanka, Mr Jaishankar said the matter was in court.

In 2013, the federal government had told the Supreme Court that it could not "retrieve" Katchatheevu from Sri Lanka as "no territory belonging to India was ceded nor sovereignty relinquished since the area was in dispute and had never been demarcated".

And the next year, former attorney general Mukul Rohatgi, representing Mr Modi's government, told the court that if India wanted Katchatheevu, it would have to

to get it.

Mr Annamalai, however, has told reporters that the federal government was trying to "bring back" Katchatheevu to protect the interests of Tamil Nadu's fisher people.

It shows yet again why nobody can ever trust India to honor any agreement. Jaishankar likes to accuse China of not sticking to agreements, but he had conveniently forgotten that India's unilateral Abrogation of Article 370 was the trigger. India had already agreed to cede Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka in 1974, but with the BJP is in power today, they are now having second thoughts about that.

If this "Katchatheevu" dispute heats up, perhaps Norinco can market some A2/AD missile systems to Sri Lanka. India had sold Brahmos to the PH already, so China shouldn't mind to return the favour.

China has been accused of IP infringement by the West all the time for the past 40 years. Yet surprisingly few cases were actually brought to a court of law, and those lawsuits won by the western companies were fewer still.

In stark contrast to the US regime, it's a priority for China to maintain peace.

China is doing well? Just exclude it! BTW, Washington DC and Chicago are some of the world's safest cities?:rolleyes:

The author doesn't know what she is talking about. That's the caliber of some of the warmongers gaslighting for the Western MSM.

I don't know how many engines of cruise missile China can make everyday. But they can manufacture more than 10,000 cars a day.
