The racist being a racist, no surprise there - however, it seems that something is off with that survey.
If there's one thing, it's that Richard Hanania is deeply unsettled by inherent traits in East Asian societies (which he wishes western society possessed), which is why he has an unusual focus on calling out results of 'surveys and studies' that mention statistics (accuracy indeterminate) on Asian societies that run counter to common understanding.

He deeply wishes western society had the highest average IQ, and a conservative, family oriented outlook rather than today's uncontrolled descent into degeneracy.

I wouldn't be so sure about that anymore. I'm sure Bibi can pick up the phone and have a nice chat with Putin.

After 1 Kg Gold Found In Air Hostess' Rectum, More Flight Crew To Be Probed


Thiruvananthapuram: After arresting two cabin crew members of Air India Express for allegedly smuggling gold, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has intensified the probe suspecting role of more crew members in the crime.
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence or DRI arrested 26-year-old air hostess Surabhi Khatun, a native of Kolkata and a member of the cabin crew on the flight from Muscat, in the early hours of Friday.

She was taken into custody after 960 grams of gold concealed in a compound form was found in her rectum.

"The DRI had also picked up her senior colleague - Sohail, who is from Kannur, and is suspected to be the key person in the smuggling of gold.

After getting some fresh leads, the DRI intensified the probe as it suspected the involvement of several other cabin crew members in smuggling gold."

More details awaited.

Richard Hanania's Jewish backers are just using him as a front to express their dislike of Chinese people. There is no need to discuss his "independent" thoughts

Don't fall for their tricks

You are thinking in terms of extremes. Relations are not black or white, not every nation has to be either an, "enemy," or "friend." China can recognize the geopolitical realities that would prevent India from being a "friend," but it is still in China's interests to prevent India from being an, "enemy." Whenever possible, you want to avoid making your neighbors, especially big ones, your "enemies." India for the most part has resisted direct alignment with the West, and it is in China's interests that India continues to do so. Adopting a hostile policy towards India only increases the probability of India drifting closer to the West. It is also not in any country's interest for a large neighbor to collapse and descend into chaos, especially if that large neighbor has a nuclear arsenal (regardless of how small and basic that arsenal may be).


If you go back about 25 years, China was also heavily reliant on foreign technology, and with a level of industrial and economic development much behind Turkey and Iran. In terms of real (PPP) GDP per capita, China only surpassed Iran within the past decade and still significantly lags behind Turkey. In Iran's case, being sanctioned from much of the international market and being cut off from foreign technology held Iran back far more than its limited energy sales could compensate for. Pakistan, on the other hand is even less developed than India. The differentiating factor between India/Pakistan and Iran/Turkey is that India/Pakistan were British colonies for 200 years while Iran and Turkey were never colonized. In terms of independent technology, very few countries have the necessary population size to be fully independent in terms of technology, not even the US, and definitely not any individual European state (not even Germany or Russia). Only China does, and questionably the entirety of Europe as a whole. India may have the potential based solely on population size, but is held back by innumerable other factors.


Persian may have thousands of years of history, but Turkey also has at least 700 years of history (if you choose not to count Byzantium's cultural legacy). But India too has thousands of years of history and Europe only about 1400 years of history, so total length of history is largely irrelevant. What is more meaningful is which countries had independent institutions over the past 300-400 years. Persia, Turkey, Europe, and China did while India/Pakistan and most of the Middle East did not.
as of 2024, Chinese nominal GDP per capita is higher than Turkey's, and was the case from 2018 onwards except a single year of high inflation in 2023 where Turkey had an exchange rate that wasn't dropping as fast as inflation was rising.

China's PPP multiplier is a political number.


From 2021:

Turkey PPP: $32k USD
Turkey nominal: $9k USD

Multiplier: 3.5x

China PPP: $18k USD
China nominal: $12k USD

Multiplier: 1.5x

This implies China has prices 2x higher than Turkey but the reality is China only has prices 38% higher than Turkey.

in fact as of today, Turkey is 8% more expensive than China, so how can its PPP multiplier be higher? That implies prices in Turkey are lower than in China.

This Marcos is a complete fool and being totally being played by US. How and what are any potential benefits for the Filipino people? Was Elensky even invited to the Asian Defense Forum or the Philippines. What this proves is this Marcos is a complete puppet.

Oh sweet summer child. Just like Elensky, Marcos doesn’t give a solitary flying fuck about his country or the people he is supposed to serve. They just care about following American orders so other people can die needless in industrial numbers to serve American whims while they rack up millions in blood money and can retire as an all American hero in America or modern American colonies once their own nations are destroyed.
