Yeah some guy on Xiaohongshu told me China should keep the western architecture in the country as tourism so people could "experince" european charm while keeping money in the country. I swear people like to create an illusion of western charm in the country and it's embarrassing. I guess this is why people like that still exist.

This is like the 5th post in this thread supporting the destruction of buildings for no reason other than architectural style. We should also blow up the Leshan Giant Buddha Taliban-style since it represents the excesses of an Indian cult.

These are our statues of Stalin. If we don't pull them down, some might say it's because we are less vindictive than the eastern Europeans, but the colonial apologists will use it say we "benefited" from colonialism and that despite those grand buildings being literally built on a massacre of local Chinese villages, it was still "worth it".

Waste of money. Should also destroy Mao's tomb for copying the Lincoln Memorial and doing the bare minimum (yellow roof) to make it look Chinese.

Then we should also destroyed all the technology that come from the west and then come back to Qing era lol.

Ironically alot of western technology was built upon technology created by the Arabs and Chinese etc. Afterall Algebra and Algorithims are Arabic words and the father of NASA was a Chinese guy who later became the father of China's rockets. Not to mention a bunch of advanced technology from Mesoamerica that were destroyed by the Spanish.

China has criticized the United States for providing a stage for Taiwan's separatist forces at the U.S.-held Pax Silica Summit and condmned Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities for undermining the island's competitive industries. Chinese mainland spokesperson Peng Qing'en made the remarks at a news conference held by the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office in Beijing.

Washington has unveiled Pax Silica, its so-called flagship AI and security initiative, bringing together key allies from Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Framed as a "positive-sum partnership" that promotes global coordination, the name itself suggests peace through silicon. But is Pax Silica really about cooperation, or is it another attempt to redraw tech supply chains and contain China? What's behind the carefully chosen allies, and who's left out?

Remnants of colonialism in China that need to be removed are the ones in the mind, not the ones in physical form.

I suggest correcting these first, as they have no historical value whatsoever.

US Rare Earth Buyers Still See China Curbs Despite Trump Deal​

China continues to restrict rare earth elements needed by the US for domestic production of permanent magnets and other products, despite an October agreement between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping that was meant to lift such restrictions.

According to a report from Bloomberg, citing more than a dozen consumers, producers, government officials and trade experts, while China has increased deliveries of finished products, primarily permanent magnets, the US industry still cannot acquire the raw materials needed to manufacture these items domestically.

The ongoing supply limitations highlight persistent tensions in US-China relations following the October 30 truce reached in South Korea, where the US agreed to cut tariffs and China pledged to restore rare earth supplies. At that time, Trump characterized the agreement as the "de facto removal" of various Chinese restrictions.

By limiting deliveries of raw materials, China is effectively hindering US efforts to establish its own processing industry for rare earths, which are critical components in products ranging from consumer electronics to missile guidance systems. The Trump administration has prioritized developing domestic production capacity for permanent magnets and other rare earth products to reduce dependence on China, which has established a global monopoly in the sector over many years.

The sources discussing these ongoing restrictions asked not to be identified as they were speaking about matters that aren’t public.

The US is now whining about China not selling them the means to make their own domestic US magnets. Now the chip playbook that the US used against China is being played against themselves.

You know which country wastes excessively time, energy and taxpayers dollars trying to rewrite its past and hope no one notices? India.



The more I read about India, the more I realize loads of "Indian" things have foreign origins. A lot being from the middle east (not necessary Islamic although that is the case for a lot) and british. For example Urdu and Hindi have loads of loan words. A lot of food, clothing and buildings have middle east style due to Mughal influence. Actually hell their government style has that influence since the guys in charge were sultans and later brits. The capital of Gujarat (Modi's home state) is called Ahmedabad and historically that has been a trading port between the Middle East and the South Asian continent. Congress party was founded by a brit and the the word Hindu itself comes from Persian.

If you didn't know this? Well its probably done on purpose. I mean those name changes are quite recent. There's a deliberate effort to downplay a lot of foreign stuff and claim it as Indian. And then you wonder why there's so much energy wasted between Hindus and Muslims because it turns out Islam has been in India for a long time and had a huge influence. You can't just ask its hundreds of millions to just go away and pretend it didn't happen. And denying their link to India, just makes things even more confusing.


Why am I talking about India again instead of China? Well I just wanted to give a case example of a country that is wasting loads of time trying to "destroy" or rewrite stuff about foreign influence in its country. Like will it work in the long term? Who knows? Maybe they will censor the internet so all of the above you will not know about in the future. But then that will mean a huge disconnect between the narrative and reality which will confuse people because things will eventually not add up. When you tell a lie, you need to cover it with more lies so eventually you have a heavy load trying to constantly hide. See Operation Sindoor for example.

And in the end its probably selective anyway. If India is truly serious, it should start by destroying the Taj Mahal right this instant to prove what a loyal Hindu nation it is.
