China's Hitler Youth

[ValiantSalvatore]

I hope the people win and not the president, it's generally awesome to have more educated worldviews. This type of manipulation is the worst of the worst comparing it to Hitler youth is appropriate. I'll ask my chinese friend about this, it's interesting to see these trends, it's a huge issue to have also a lot of lower SD types of systems enforced with technology & such. It's a horror scenario. 

A lot of people also hate China sometimes I forget why, when I meet people here, yet when I see this it makes me remember oh yeah, the crazyness of patrotism & all of this stuff. Would generally love to see a country that sort of prides itself a bit on wisdom acts more wisely, yet this is the reason why a certain level of decantalization is good, it's like denying the survival principle of variety. It's for me sad to see awesome people die by the power mania of dictators. This type of manipulation is also very scary, I notice this also with friends, the more open the country the more interactive, then I hear nothing and see stuff like this it's weird.

I mean also the current generation besides gen alpha or how they are called, is also more aware of the corruption of China, it's still very different beign and tianamen square and beign told, these people woreship the state and treat the state as god. It's their existential & survival basis. (mostly older folk). I presume even through all the censorship, they must have failed to indoctrinate their people to trust their state, nobody is really innocent here. The issue is the power hungryness and the excesses of capitalism and not acting from a more holistic sort of capitalism, and not the hogwash shit of anarchy without any money trading tokens for tanks etc. Enacting wisdom as a leader would be very cool to see, I had such a different opinion of the president, yet it's insane what these people do to stay in power. Tbh I would be way to lazy and do my best with this power to get laid, I'd wonder if there is a statistic that shows how good a presidents sex life was the better the life for the people & country.

There is also this scandal with houses and apartments collapsing due to poor building materials used, so called tofu-dreg projects.

China is very good at fooling people imo, if there would not be a fear of the west that much it would not be that bad. I hope China does not become a global threat or is detained mostly by the power of the west. As well as other alternative scenarios. China is very weird, still I have never seen so much wholesome social interaction before COVID I dunno now. Still the place felt very godless at times.

With the Belt and Road Initiative, China is building a global infrastructure by investing in more than 150 countries.  Examples include ports, road, bridges, dams, electric stations, and railroad tunnels.  

The Belt and Road Initiative isn't doing as well as you think. And you really need to look at China's foreign policy, there is a reason why South East Asian countries have China on the top of their list of most hated countries.

I am obviously not saying everything China does is stupid and wrong, but the way the CCP currently works it is literally throwing the potential of the chinese people out the window, to a far, far greater degree than something like the US.

 

China has incredible strategic potential, but the current regime and political environment is literally rotting the country from the core

Also this, I've seen way more interest in south east asian and pacific partnerships for technology & innovation at the Hannovermesse this year, barely any interest in China. More Indonesia and Singapore, they all seemed to be more interested to go their for their electricity type projects and companies, also it seems to be very difficult to get these materials, for example... I know someone whose parents own a company in China and they need quality products from Germany to enhance their business, I don't know, yet they somehow can get this cheaper for electronics here, yet they need somebody willing to trade, as far as I understood basically good business guanxi... 

China seems pretty dead imo, otherwise there would not be such drastic measures. They would do better without their president. 

China like Russia has huge stage red&blue issues just character wise. Power justify all means to keep the peace. The irony is when you listen to the wisdom stemming from the wisdom of this country, they'd need to do the opposite of what they are doing. Same would go for Russia, in the sense of being the bigger man, and just seeing and realizing the west is just very stupid at times etc. 

A very deep basis of respect went missing imo at one point since bush, yet I am not that old and knowledgeable, I don't still quiet get the connection as why Russia & the U.S have been at each other's throat besides for technology arms races & power. Yet, what & why exactly was it a breaking point as well as for China hating the west. Is the irony not that it's their own fault due to very bad & corrupt leadership if you see Mao etc. & excess greed and deeply envious nature? Deng Xiao Ping was apparently better, yet I dunno how China started hating the west. It's sort of a delusional self-deception of some sort. I would understand if they hate the British people for the opium war or whatever happend at the summer palace and Japan. I dunno why Americans specifically are so "hated" by China.

Of course corruption is a huge problem for them. That doesn't mean they aren't strategic.

I feel like a lot of people are utterly clueless to the degree of insanity that is currently transpiring in China. Xi Jinping has basically positioned himself to be the new Mao and is currently indoctrinating an entire generation of children to hate the west and to accept Xi Jinping thought, a book Xi wrote that basically everyone in China is forced to read.

In those kinds of videos, they can just put whatever subtitles they want and no one notices it. I can put some angry american kid and put subtitles like: "Riceeaters have to die", or "Communism is evil, that´s why I don´t kill people, but I fight against evil." And show it to some chinese people. And sure, you can go to wherever you want in the world and you´ll eventually find those type of people. Eventhough it´s way easier to just put random subtitles. You can actually do the same and go to an american shooting range and distort it in some twisted way. This video just comes off as way to unprofessional and not nuanced, that I´ll dismiss this sort of critique. It´s even bad, for those, who want to make a real critique of China, cause you have to compare yourself with this. I mean go to any rural town in a Nato country and you´ll find people, that say, we should fucking nuke Russia or China, and why? Because of those kinds of videos. So the irony is, that what he is critiquing, he is doing himself.

Critique the hell out of China, but nuanced, profound and with some epistemoligical integrity.

Chairman Xi is making sure that any imperialist invader is going to be facing 1 billion little Andrew Tates.  In contrast, the Western world is determined to stomp out “toxic” masculinity.  Which country is crazy?
