I dunno if it's the algorithm or if it's genuinely trending.

My feed on Weibo is filled with two things right now. K-visa and Indian bashing. Given that it's national day, you would figure the topic would be about China.

It is real.

It is the proverbial cliches about once the toothpaste is out of the tube, sort of thing. Once someone said it out loud, in Canada at least, that so and so is doing such and such, and us good nature Canadian citizens are getting the shaft, then this situation has to run its course, no matter how long it takes.

We have to be aware of this situation, because this is not confined to merely Toronto and its suburbs, but nationally, and in other countries too, if we can believe that. Seems to me the story is always the same too. Sort of funny I find.

But, people are not laughing. There is some tension, but I rather take a more optimistic view of things, that eventually the government will come to its senses and put the interests of Canadian citizens above foreigners. These are foreigners, not immigrants. That is a key distinction.

Then articles from basically a major national newspaper, about such topics, does not help the social environment. That I think that is deliberate. They want to create a fuss, get it out in the open.

This was published today, the National Post is a Canada wide newspaper. They doing strange things even in rural Ontario.

This story is questionable because the reporter and the original report came from Rebel News which is a far-right Islamophobic media group run by a Zionist who has a history of being prosecuted for libel and defamation, even by Human Rights Commission. The owner here was a Muslim and not the first to be targetted by Rebel Media. The cop involved is also being criticized by other media for nepotism, falsely claiming trespassing is legal.

Westerners have a tendency to denigrate minorities when their governments have screwed up. The simple truth is: most Canadians are lazy, incompetent and not innovative since 1990s atleast. I lived in a small Canadian city and the general tendency of the local Canadian was to barely finish high-school, have a kid at age 19, do menial jobs for life, do drugs and blow money on tattoos and piercings, and.. blame minority groups for all their misfortune. All the while, it is the minorities who do most of the hard work and put effort into higher education and building their careers.

Right on comrade, could not agree even more, like agree to infinity, plus one!

It is was Deng Xiaoping said, hide your strength bide your time.

Chinese is a high context language. 韜光养晦. What Deng was saying, my take at least, is do not trust these ass hats. Do the right thing here, build up, and keep quiet about it. Do it that way because cannot trust them.

Sort of like what the white people call the dog whistle, but we use the phrase high context language, because it is true the latter.

So really, everyone was on the same page. Maybe someone did not agree, during these past decades, but at least they knew what others (like friends and family) were thinking.

Turns out Deng was right.

But ...

Still, got to give peace a chance.

That the flip of all of this too, which requires some flexibility.





Hide your strength, bide your time. What Deng Xiaoping said was real.

But this picture, was real too, and it was pretty good relationship, for a long while.

Anything is possible.

Frankly speaking, today the world needs more people hugging like President Carter and comrade Deng Xiaoping. However, that is very unlikely in the cards.

The war drums continue to beat.

Not to be rude, but china is very much not a war culture, they are, like the Greeks, a bureaucratic culture. Nor is British culture war culture, its adventurer culture, hensewhy they loved colonising worthless rocks, and defending those rocks (falklands). Only war culture would be Slavic and Turkish culture, IE: Afghanistan, Mongolia, Russia. Also any culture can fight good, greeks brits and chinese, even if they arent warrors, just dont expect every man and women to show up to the enlistment office!
Qing CCP Ming all avoided war at all cost for example

Agreed on most points but now say the "Gekokujo" incident Japanese DDG Suzutsuki that had deliberately entered the 12 mile Chinese territorial zone some time ago ,had opened fired on Chinese ships/towns /cities killing Chinese citizens-the "non-warlike Chinese" would howl for bloody revenge and the PLA offices would have alot of trouble keeping out eager Chinese ready to fight the hated Japanese -this isn't 1925- so what is the difference?I am being utterly rhetorical and facetious -but you know the answer:the zeitgeist of now China's massive comprehensive strength and its accompanied ability,determination,confidence to organize/use it-and Japan's lack after 1945.Truly FAFO-Tokyo knows this.

There's also some funny stuff you can sneak pass the filter for SORA at the moment.

This could not have happened to a better company; bhp tends to hire Anglo Australian elites who subscribe to the Anglo American five eyes regime. They’ll even hire white south afrikaans n who only just got into Australia yesterday which proves how much Australia doesn’t really exist as a country but is merely a resource island for the white Anglo regime.

I read a book by an American comparing cultures between China, the US, and Japan, and it made the argument that Chinese and American cultures are both highly innovative, but Japanese culture is not.

Still, this article gives some justification for China to refocus on technological self-sufficiency, even if it costs a bit of GDP growth in the short term. The long-term benefits will more than make up for short-term losses.

Interesting article, but a lot of the content is misleading.

The United States didn’t beat Japan by building tariff walls or propping up national champions. U.S. leadership rested on open competition and the flexibility to rewire supply chains globally as technology shifted—in a word, dynamism.

The authors conveniently forgot about Japan-US Semiconductor Agreement, "voluntary" restraints on Japanese car exports to the US, and the lengths US went through to prop up Intel and AMD against Japanese competitors.

By contrast, [Chinese] sectors dominated by old-guard monopolists and state-owned enterprises underperform.

In what regards exactly? Chinese state-owned enterprise manage critical sectors including infrastructure and defense. They aren't the prettiest sectors, but the performance of SOEs still vastly outperform their private US counterparts in terms of innovation. Where are the US technological equivalent for:

- Ultra high voltage transmission, especially over long distances?
- Automated grid control/integration?
- High speed rail/maglev?
- LNG tanker production, or civil/military shipbuilding capacity in general?
- 6th generation fighter and unmanned air superiority drones?

Even in automotive industry, where Chinese state-owned enterprises are often criticized, they are still much more innovative than their private US counterparts. Does any US manufacturer offer a car with semi-solid state battery, let alone one for $14K?


I do agree with the premise of the article that Japan has a more cooperative, cartel type environment through the various Keiretsu, which hampers innovation compared to more cut-throat environment as in the case of US and China. But in my opinion it's the US, not China that's losing that edge.

Anglo Americans are so pathetic as a culture, trying to LARP as warlords and Conan the barbarian, who could forget that wannabe warlord declaring American soldiers should want to sit “

“ or being obsessed about ghengis khan and the mongol horde. Let me be real here, Anglo Americans were founded as a mercantilist pirate race, they are not a warrior culture like say the chechens, none of their works are recognised as classics on war studied in war colleges worldwide, when I can name two from China off the top of my head: Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” and Mao Zedong’s “On Protracted Warfare”.

War drums beating…are the Atlanticist elites really going to try for a world war when social revolution is imminent back home? Hard economic times and stagflation make communist revolution more and more likely, as was the case pre WW1.

Yeah you've just reminded me of that "skull throne" dude. This is his latest tirade about rice.

He is calling half of the world "uncivilized" for eating rice. Including some of the US's close allies. Off course. To him civilization means: "Blood of the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!".
