Another strategic win from the almighty U.S. Too much winning.

"China already has 70% of the world’s installed 5G base stations and 80% of the world’s 5G smartphone users."

"Although US carriers offer what they call 5G service, the American version provides download speeds barely above the older-generation 4G LTE broadband, at around 60 mbits/second. The average speed in China is five times higher, at over 300 mbits/second."

"With few exceptions, Western investment in enterprise 5G networks is tentative and experimental, while China’s factories, mines and ports have put 5G into full operation.

The critical difference between 5G and older broadband isn’t speed, but rather carrying capacity and latency (speed of response). Industrial operations require near-instant response time among machines controlled by the network, and 5G, which reduces response time by a factor of ten, opens up possibilities for industrial automation that formerly were unimaginable."

"Cultural genocide"?

When tens of thousands of children are ripped from their families and put in a place where thousands of them died, this isn't cultural genocide. It's an actual genocide.

I use the term “ethnicide”, i. e, the destruction of an ethnicity; I might have coined that term, actually.

China's success is due to its efficient one party control with ability to evolve, incorporating new ideas while removing failed ones as well as the intelligence, hard-working nature, and ambition for personal wealth seen in China's massive population.

You cannot just say China's success is due to one party control. Lots of nations have two-bit dictatorships that serve no one but themselves.

Yes, the CPC is able to evolve and incorporate new ideas, but that is not sufficient explanation for their success. How do they know in which direction to evolve? How do they know which ideas to incorporate and which ideas to discard?

For example, back in the 90s, China had this wave of privatization. Lots of SOEs were either dissolved or privatized, including retail, factories, and public transit. Yet, for some reason, the central government held on to the banking sector and the petroleum firms.

This was long before the financial tsunami of 2008 that revealed the inadequacies of a privately owned financial sector. Why did the Chinese government hold on to those two sectors despite the fact that they were as woefully inefficient as the rest of the SOEs that were being privatized?

You cannot explain this with classical Chinese philosophy. Banks were privately owned in imperial China and the rulers never paid them much attention. You cannot explain this with Capitalist theory either, because according to that theory, those banks and petroleum firms should have been privatized.

The only feasible explanation here is that Deng and Jiang were following Marxist principles even as they were transforming China into a mostly Capitalist economy.

Another example is China's focus on lifting the masses out of poverty. When the market reforms first started, Deng famously said, "let some people get rich first", and "to be rich is glorious". Why then did the CPC use income from the coastal lands to develop in-land cities and villages? Why did they not simply wait for market forces to spread the wealth across the country, as Capitalist theory advocates? The wealthy Capitalist nations certainly weren't doing this. The US left Detroit to rot after its auto industry failed.

A third example is the way China treats its ethnic minority. China could have just left Tibet and Southern Xinjiang (where most of the Uyghurs dwell) to their own devices, like the US does with its Indian Reserves. Why did China instead spend huge amounts of wealth building infrastructure in those two parts of the country? China could have forced Tibetans and Uyghurs to learn only Mandarin and assimilate them into the mainstream culture, much like the US does with its ethnic minorities, natives and immigrants alike. Why did China instead take painstaking measures to ensure ethnic minorities could receive education in their own language? Why does China give preferential treatment to its ethnic minorities, at the expense of the Han majority?

Why did China make those policy decisions, and how could they know if those were the right decisions?

Did he? Maybe he should have questioned why his parliament was more interested in a supposed "genocide" happening half-a-world away than in a real genocide happening right in their own country!

US intelligence activities are out of control. Today's situation is more acute than those during the McCarthy era.

In 1870, Mark Twain told a story about how a decent and loyal man was framed as an infamous perjurer, thief, body-snatcher, alcohol addict, filthy corruptionist, and loathsome embracer by his opponents in a gubernatorial election in his short story Running for Governor. The story, which described American politics as ridiculous and full of rumors, was not entirely made up, but a norm of the American democracy.

This is happening more and more frequently in the US. What's wrong with the people there?

Its basically turning into an episode out of GTA. The solution is so simple that aparently the USA though, nah, can't have a solution like that so then they went in the opposite direction and decided that GTA wasn't hardcore enough, so they though hmmm, maybe if it became like postal, everything would be all good

Come on bud, you ought to know by now that Canadians are so good at virtue signaling b.s. and woke culture. Remember Canada is known and embraced by Canadians as the peacekeeping force - innocent white faces - less dangerous than their American counterparts. I guess that's why their Somalian misadventure got clobbered because their military was found to have been responsible for abuse, torture and it's a good thing that Jean Chretien had balls of steel to disband the Canadian Airborne Regiment. The controversy was known as the "Somalian Affair" in Canada.

Common Guys. Stop these. We GOOD CHRISTIANS prefer to call it what it is.
