Sure, but do you hate smoking enough to take foreign money and become their proxy? There are grievances and then there are grievances.
I don't get you, why do my personal grievances have to do with politics. There is no perfect government system in this world, what I'm trying to say is that compare with the US any negative connotations about China is a projection, Hell even even my 18 year old can see thru it.

Who said anything about the US? The other guy asked if the locals were truly upset about Chinese investments, to which I provided a source. Then he asked if the locals were foreign funded, to which I said that doesn't change the fact that the locals need to be upset to accept foreign funding in the first place.

Point being that yes, they are upset. Which is why the Luban workshops are a good idea, to make them less upset. Which was the original point.

Brazil has shifted the main destination for beef exports to China instead of US after Trump's tariffs.

Brazil’s beef exports to China are on the rise as part of the Asian nation’s larger strategy to avoid agricultural goods from the United States amid their ongoing trade dispute. Brazil’s beef exports to China rose 38.3 percent in September from a year earlier, reaching 187,340 tonnes, the industry group Abrafrigo said on Wednesday, helping push total monthly exports to a record high.

Total beef exports, including fresh and processed meat, edible offal and tallow, generated $1.92bn in revenue in September with volumes reaching 373,867 tonnes, up 49 percent in value and 17 percent in volume year-on-year. Exports to the US, Brazil’s second largest beef market, fell 41 percent year-to-date in September to $102.9m.

Piece on the shifting dynamics in Vietnam, which have spilled into the open since the rise of the new General Secretary Tô Lâm last year.

Public sentiments in Vietnamese society towards China and the US in the 2020s are drastically different from the 2010s. Throughout the 2010s, when liberal nationalist dissidents and intellectuals dominated public debates, many in the Vietnamese public and diaspora called for Vietnam to move towards a formal alliance with the US to contain China, especially in relation to China’s steady expansion into the South China Sea. The Party was often criticized for not moving closer and quickly enough towards the US. These years were marked by extremely high pro-US sentiments throughout society. Trump’s latest tariff war has even been regarded by some Vietnamese as an opportunity for “liberation” from China.

Since 2020, the broader trend has nevertheless been that of rising red nationalism throughout society. Following Nguyễn Phú Trọng’s visit to China after the latter’s 19th Party Congress in November 2022, which was hailed by both the CCP and the CPV as a new “

” in the bilateral relationship, and with the ongoing ramifications of the Russia-Ukraine War reverberating widely, Vietnam has accelerated its rapprochement towards China and Russia while maintaining strong ties with the US. Red nationalism, which views the Vietnamese revolution and the leadership of the CPV overall more favourably than in previous times, has manifested especially sharply among Vietnamese millennials and Gen Z. This nationalism is both critical of and selectively embracing towards both China and the US. In this ambiguity, the 2020s contrasts greatly with the 2010s, when anti-party, anti-China, and pro-US nationalism once proliferated.
