China should write a note to itself because every leader China had good relations with, their children when they run for office turn out to be anti-China.
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.The racist being a racist, no surprise there - however, it seems that something is off with that survey.
Where will Zelensky run to once Trump gets back in office?
Israel.
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.Kyiv recognizes both Israel and Palestine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual Asian security summit focused on the Pacific region in Singapore, and called for an end to the conflict in Gaza, Ukrinform on June 2.
Tbf US is a lot into incest and grooming while Aussie and Kiwi tourists visiting South east Asia are known for their Pedophilia, The survey only said children and family gives happiness not what kind or how decadent.
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" thoughtsIf 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.
that shit is like 19th century skull measurements. the difference is they don't have gunboat diplomacy behind it anymore.The quality of western analyst... he got that from overhearing some Cantonese cooks at his local Chinatown restaurant and local Sushi chefs.
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.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.

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.
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.
