News on China's scientific and technological development.

It's fine to have an opinion but seriously can you just not cry wolf with your overly dramatic speeches every time there is any piece of news that you don't agree to?

What cry wolf? Are you imagining things here?

I simple said that reforms were slow, and the pressure that scientists facing for publish many papers was not good for innovation

Where is the "cry wolf"? Dont you also agree with this?

Do you think its normal that scientists are pressured to publish papers every month? Is that how science works?

Have you ever been to a university where the professors had PhDs?
I assume you have been, so you should know that pressuring these people to publish papers so often results to "garbage" papers.

Xi talks a lot about reforms but they are still slow. This pressure to publish so many papers has been happening since at least a decade ago. How many times have they talked and talked about it?

I know you don't have confidence on Xi and the Chinese system, the Chinese way is not for others to follow. It's not perfect but it works for them and still under continuous improvement, creating a brand-new world but hated by many.

Who said that I "don't have confidence on Xi and the Chinese system"? Can you send a link to where I said this?

So you are just spreading untruths about what people have said. I am often critising because I am not a nationalist blindly believing that everything is nice and good.

If you think that whatever critisism equals "don't have confidence on Xi and the Chinese system" then your education must have been subpar.

If you want to be nationalist go read your Global Times and stop spreading lies about what I have said before

Your first sentence in the quote I'm replying to is

"Pls no more Mr.Xi!"

Can you be any more dramatic? You then go to call other's education subpar when you're the one making a fuss on everything here. In fact, this behavior of yours is literally on every thread you are on. Even on the US military thread whenever their new engine is brought up. Using your last logic, if I were to want to see someone who thinks they know more than the central government and what happens behind the scene more so than the president and the central government I would go read some article on SCMP rather than here.

Simply put, you tend to overreact to every little detail.

Or you can just hit the "Ignore" button on my profile and be forever free from my "dramatic" posts.
Thankfully the forum has functionality to ignore people and after testing it i can say that it works fine.

So it's an all or nothing with you? I don't do that because you have posted many posts that are interesting and I agree with them. The problem is not so black and white. It's your reaction to said things happening. I never once said you can't have an opinion just simply be more level-headed.

Ah ok I see your point. I agree that sometimes I post "dramatic" posts but thats because I am frustrated from the news.

So in this example we have Mr. Xi who has been talking about reforming the system for scientists. Like my dude, we have all known about this problem since 2010 (or even before) and you have talked many times about changing it. So why should I (and others) believe that this time you are totally going to do it?

Same thing with the National Property tax. They have talked about it for a decade and still nothing (some pilots here and there only after house prices went to the moon)

It is very tiring. Reforms have happened on these matters but they are extremely slow.

Anyway, you have a point about being "dramatic" so I will try to tone it down. But when these kind of news come up dont expect much

Ah I see you have also noticed the EUpoors strategy on Africa...

They will develop Africa with their standards and then "soft" exclude Chinese companies by saying that they dont follow their standards

They have already started doing this inside the EU. They are now talking about excluding companies or heavily taxing them (i.e tariffs) if their countries are polluting (Chinese companies). Also if they are using forced labour (bye bye Chinese solar sales)

China is now leading in solar, wind and hydropower and therefore less polluting than the US and Europe. The Europeans are just excluding India and Vietnam, both of which are trying to compete with China, but now they are excluded by Europe.

They can not. An apology under pressure and coming too late is convincing nobody because everybody knows why. Imagine Chinese and Koreans would believe the Japanese "apology" after decades of Japanese resistance? Hasn't Namibia rejected the late coming German "apology"? Actually Germany does not call "compensation" but "reconciliation development" pretty much like Japan's "aid program" rather than "compensation" to Korea and China. Africans are not stupid to be fooled.

Japan will have to apologize and then pay $$ to other Asian countries including China and Korea for what they did during WWII. But the problem is that Japan is crumbling economically, and they have US$1 trillion worth of US treasuries that is about to depreciate in a big way.

Some people like to bash other people but they themselves could not produce a worthy research paper for the benefit of China or the world.

In-case people think that what I have said about the Property tax is wrong here is an article on March 2, 2012

Since the mid-2000s in China, real estate prices have been going through the roof. In 2010, home prices in Shanghai rose 26.1 percent and in Chongqing, 29.4 percent

Too much talk, too little action
