What? Thats the central dispute between China and PH. E.g, China claims the entirety Spratly island group while PH claims the northeastern section of the islands - the ones closest to PH EEZ.

If PH killed 1200 Chinese fishermen or if PH supported the attack of China over Taiwan, you think China would respond that much differently than Israel. PH would prob lose more than just the Spratlys.

Well, off to the ignore list you go for such wilful idiocy.

But just to put into context how ridiculously idiotic your BS straw-man is, terrorists killed nearly 3000 Americans on 9/11 and did they resorted to genocide?

NATO is currently meeting right now to discuss how to transfer their attention to Asia because they need to get China to buy American debt. It’s basically a shakedown op.
X factor is if the westerners who now visit China visa free will actual,t lend their support to the anti war factions in their own countries. If not, they deserve to die in a pacific jungle far from home.

Foreign companies report gloom in sales in China which translate to Chyna Collapse in the wester social/media. Maybe reality is that Chinese consumers are dumping foreign brands at a increasing rate. Paraphrase from the video "Chinese won't automatically buy a brand because it is western anymore" and "Chinese youth favor local brands."

There is really no secret to some of these huge American brands that the Chinese can't replicate and potential take overseas tweaked. Chinese localized McDonalds and KFC is already reportely much better than it's US version. They grew on overwhelming us softpower "marketing" and probably us financial/military power over countries.

Glad to see the decoupling is proceeding as scheduled. Consume made in China, enjoy tourism in China, support Chinese brands.

Why people here bitching about Israel's action in Palestine. Based on everything said here, the Palestinians deserve to be kicked off/killed - they weak. Rule of the jungle is the most fair and just remember.

Zero (0) deaths over tiny uninhabitable reefs against Phillipines.

Therefore, it make sense to have Zero (0) Genocide against Palestine.

I totally agree, it's absolutely consistent position, Zero for Zero.

If there is doom/gloom related to western brands' weak performance in China, what do they say when the Chinese brands are reaching the West?

There is a mall in Toronto that now has a Chinese section with local and mainland-China (and Taiwan) based brands (Cotti coffee, Miniso). It is a traditional mall (i.e has an H&M, Sephora, etc.) rather than an "Asian mall", and not in a majority Asian area (though I would say the demographics of Asians has definitely increased significantly).

Younger people in western countries are more open to Chinese brands (Shein, TikTok, Temu). They don't have the cold war "commie" mental baggage, Tiananmen baggage, "only crap is made in China"-mentality (rather just *everything* is made in China, crap or otherwise).
