And I thought our QA process was bad… Good lord.
Both Chinese and Western commentators think it's To Lam(苏林)
At the end of the day though, the center of gravity from nations like the Philippines and even to a certain degree as the case with Vietnam and others in Asia is the entrenched belief in U.S. military supremacy and technological advantages vs CHINA's PLA. So it's best that China process this situation with a clear unflinching view and continue with their rapid modernization, purging the system with ineffectual leaders and personnel so that when the time is right it should strike the very gravity that binds the belief of these countries and shatter that once and for all. Only then, will these nations assent and negotiate with China while respecting CHINA's bottom line willingly or grudgingly.
Until that entity remains whole and the aura of its invincibility remain (despite its supposed struggles) the situation for China within her periphery will remain contested and fraught with uncertainty. Power begets more power and it's better to be feared than to be loved

Look how hard it had been to replace Wang Yi as Foreign Minister and it wasn’t for the lack of people wanting that position.
You want someone who will stand up to party elders. Someone who is simply groomed and does what they say is precisely what I’m worried about. Eventually they become captured by inner circle’s private interests and intrigue like court eunuchs did in the past rather than being someone who had to fight their way to the top and win acceptance like Xi did is ideal.
Of course China is less conformist than Japan as Japan is probably the most collectivist culture in the world. However Japan is also Confucian like China which has social rigidity and duties thrust upon citizens. All societies are conformist by nature as you need laws and social norms to keep it functioning.
With development it’s like the Yin and the Yang. Go too far in one area and you need the opposite to balance it out.
History is filled with countless great leaders who had one bad successor to ruin everything. They need to be ruthless and bold yet not fair and moral. It’s always been a very hard thing to find the right leader throughout history, more so in times of plenty and success, just as times of chaos, heroes tends to arise.
There are always trade offs in every political systems, and because of how China is structured it needs to be acutely aware of its disadvantages and be proactive and avoid them.
Do we know who might succeed Xi yet?

@BrokeGambler is busy with his trolling on this forum since his P.C. and workstation is currently offline due to the BSOD from the ongoing debacle with Microsoft based computers. The guy has a lot of downtime right now. I wonder why the great and almighty Bharat couldn't even ween itself off from using American owned software companies since these folks keep bragging about their software expertise and prowess. What's up chump? I mean, champ.
You are a good man for not knowing.
They have made huge differences. Black people would prob still be in chains and forced to use separate bathrooms if it werent for Martin Luther King. They are very well organized politically compared to Asian Americans.
You fuck with George Floyd, they burned the city down in protest.
Chinese grandmas get punched on the street due to Covid hate crimes……..nothing happened. Chinese Americans stayed quiet with no national, state or even city level leadership.
Reminds me of when Wang Yi said, it doesn't matter how much you dye your hair yellow, how much you make your nose pointy, you'll never turn into an Euro or American. You'll never become a Westerner.
