The rigor is explored: the rise of industrial leaders in the defense sector. You seem to have ignored this and started to ignore the entire content just because you read the first paragraph that you didn't like. As I said, the article offers the analysis of the rise of this new rising group in the PRC.
No the whole article is fraught with absurdity, this is just a few examples.
In other words, now changing the positioning of the undeniable evidence of corruption in the defense industry in China to "efficiency in the return/benefit of the defense industry". It does not change the positioning of the author, who claimed in the aforementioned sentence that the resources directed evidently ended up with rampant corruption, and this is validated by the several purges of the PRC military leadership since 2012. This is far from an extreme claim. The benefits of rising military power and modernization are obvious, but there is still the problem of corruption in the military bureaucracy, even if your denialism does not allow you to confirm this, it is still a problem that Xi and the top leadership are addressing.
Purging or purging is the process of purging, expelling or eliminating something, in the sense of getting rid of a problem and putting out an object with a negative connotation. Do you have any problem with the term? Or is it not to your liking either?
It is not normal terminology when talking about criminal statistics. I just commented on that, in a quite neutral way.
Why is there any need to make comparisons with other countries? The fact that other countries have corruption at the same or higher rates is irrelevant to the case here, since we are talking about the PRC.
"Why is there any need to make comparisons with other countries?"
Jesus, this is really really basic stuff.
A control group/baseline reference is needed for validity, especially when you're making comparative statements.
"Huge corruption" is a comparative statement and as so it is devoid of meaning if you don't have a baseline you're referring back to. Huge compared to what? To trisolarans and martians?
We're at the middle school level here.
Dude, this isn't even a comparable analogy that I even refuse to comment on haha
Probably good for you to refuse to comment so as not to embarrass yourself further. You and this author both are working on quite strange logic, and this is true regardless of whatever biases you have, you should still retain basic logic.
