That EU China trade deficit ain't gonna fix itself:

Trying to decide which viral China story dropping today is the most historic.

1. China has 500 J-20: This story really blew up in the Social Media. In a way its a historic milestone for China's rise as a military power close to US military

2. Kimi k3 released with Fable level performance. This has the potential to blow up like Deepseek did and cause another US crash. Its also a historic milestone of China's rise as a tech superpower close to US

3. Trump giving nationwide speech accusing China of stealing/influencing 2020 election. Whether its true or not, this is a show of China's soft power/espionage power to be able to literally elect whoever they want in US prez election.

Looking back a couple of years, I wonder which story will be remembered by the broader public.

Once again they're counting on Americans forgetting Trump was in power in 2020 lol

Then again with dementia Trump might have legit forgot he was president in 2020.

Russian is my native language, I grew up in a predominantly Russian environment, studied with them and currently work with them. I think you should stop romanticizing Russians based on your impressions as a tourist, because everyone you saw was most likely the first and last time, without understanding the context. But if you learn it at least at a basic level, and can understand what Russians say about the Chinese, and how deeply their hatred of Asians is imbued in their culture, then the rose-colored glasses will immediately fall off. Check out this grouping as "Русская община", "Наследие тесака" These are groups that actively oppress Asians and organize pogroms with the support of the state and security forces.

You know, this is the internet and anyone can claim to have any background and tell any story. Arguments are not won by, "Trust me, I totally know this," but by extrapolation of public/official data. As a matter of fact, the Sino-Russian relationship is so crucial and mutually beneficial that in an anonymous webspace where anyone can claim to be anyone, those who appear to pour cold water on this cooperation immediately draw suspicion of harboring ulterior, pro-Western motives, which is why data, and not anecdotes are the only reliable way to get a point across. So far, every single poll run by every country with every different interest ranging from China/Russia to the EU/US all say that Russians and Chinese hold high public opinions of each other. Why should we believe your "qualifications" and stories over this data?

I don't see any point in continuing the argument any further, this thread is not for that.

Then don't start it.

Trump bringing up China as making him lose 2020 is because he doesn’t have worry about being sued. If he blamed voting machines like Fox News and Mike Lindell have. Look at how he finally relented and paid E Jean Carroll after the Supreme Court went against him.

What’s stupid about the Democrats is they went along with charging China was involved in election interference back then. All Trump has is that now.
