  1.  @junkeatng  I’m describing the people you subscribe too — they are paid by the Chinese government to defend China’s govt, just like you. For example, what’s happening in Xinjiang?

  2.  @junkeatng  EU is still buying Russian oil but have cut orders by 18% and will be cutting almost 100% be end of the year. How does that relate to anything you say? It’s obvious you do Not want the EU to stop buying Russian gas so enough with the fake concern vvumao

  4. Yes. Infrastructure wasn’t cheap but housing and buildings were cheap and they were very poor once you leave big cities.

  6.    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nazi_Germany The Great Depression had spurred increased state ownership in most Western capitalist countries. This also took place in Germany during the last years of the Weimar Republic.[39] However, after the Nazis took power, industries were privatized en masse. Several banks, shipyards, railway lines, shipping lines, welfare organizations, and more were privatized.[40] The Nazi government took the stance that enterprises should be in private hands wherever possible.[41] State ownership was to be avoided unless it was absolutely necessary for rearmament or the war effort, and even in those cases “the Reich often insisted on the inclusion in the contract of an option clause according to which the private firm operating the plant was entitled to purchase it.”

  7.  @快乐的人-j8s  China doesn’t want to do anything? In your news in China do they mention china fired missiles over japan and Taiwan? Do they mention that China has an illegal fishing operation all across the region (and abroad — off coast of South America) that is protected by Chinas navy? Do they mention Xi’s threats to attack japan?

  8.  @titaniumskunkogkush4365  the world needs peace yet you defend Chinas aggression? You defend chinas threats on Taiwan? Defend china shooting missiles near Japan. And I assume Defend Chinas camps of Uyghurs and Defend Chinas wolf warrior politics?

  9.  @hovera7946  Weather is nice in Beijing. They pay you well? Have you had a chance to visit the camps in Xinjiang? No flood or blizzard where I'm at.

  10.  @caspermac  btw, according to UNESCO, US has 1 million foreign students with 340k from China while China has 225k foreign student with only 20k from US. Chinas universities are so great that they 1/4 the number of foreign students as US and send 17x more students to US then US sends to China.

  11.  @maddog5284  the ceiling now is much lower than ever. Besides first few months in office or if US is involved in war, the top you will see is probably 47% approval or so. So realistically if the economy was okay (not great but also not this high inflation), the base approval is around 42%. Anything below that is likely from economic worries.

  12.  @maddog5284  On point of collapsing? US just added over 500,000 jobs and oil prices are shrinking. That's why I said the economy is mixed -- inflation is very high but jobs keep getting added and one of the major drivers of inflation (oil) is dropping. Oil was over $120/barrel and now under $90.

  15. Slava Ukraini. Russia has had likely over 15k soldiers killed while US in Iraq over t0 years lost 4k. Russia is now losing ground and retreated from centran Ukraine and just lost the battle for Kharkiv.

  17. China faces a difficult dilemma. It's lent many risky loans to countries that are having financial problems. They will either follow through on debt trap diplomacy like they did in Sri Lanka or they will lose lots of money on those loans.

  18. Nuclear weapons means North Korea can continue to act badly and oppress its people. So this means North Korea will remain like this for many decades or more.

  19.  @ChinaSongsCollection  no way? Huh are Chinese and just happen to defend everything about China? Including their media? Yeah, media that isn’t allowed to criticize their government and run by the government is about the most untrustworthy media there is.

  20.  @黄沙百战穿金甲  cutting off Chinas food supply is an act of war ..I’m pointing out the terrible position China is in compared to Russia

  21.  @AFlyingCookieLOL  if you’re unable to make one criticism of your government, it’s a sign you have a contract with them or at the very least extremely bias that nothing you say can bet trusted. How do you think it’s reasonable that someone can’t even make one criticism of their government?

  22.  @AFlyingCookieLOL  China is the biggest importer of food by far and it imports many key foods. They grow 1.5, more wheat than Russia but have 10x more people so per capita, they produce 1/6 the wheat that Russia produces.

  23. Basically nothing happened there. Big powers will not go to war with each other

  24.  @DimitarBerberu  So you're saying that China has'n't sent millions of Muslims to camps? I'm sorry, "schools" or whatever your CCP says? What's money slavery? Is that when everyone in the country has to do what the unelected goverment says in order to get paid? F-ke news? You mean like literally every media in China that only reports what the CCP says?

  25.  @汝爱花否  plundering poor countries? So what do you think China is doing? And China is also looking invade a peaceful country (Taiwan), steal the South China Sea from its neighbors, support the evil Russia invasion of Ukraine. How is that going to make the world better? In addition, they are trying to export their censorship and oppression. Why support a country that does all that and won’t even allow people to choose their government nor get any news other than government controlled news? Saying something negative against Xi can get you sent to prison!

  28.  @valyshknee4203  you just be extreme right wing if you think that about Netherlands. Or a Russian pretending to be Dutch. Since you defended Putin in another comment and refused to accept he’s basically a dictator today, I’m going to guess you’re actually Moscow government worker.
    1
  29.  @valyshknee4203  well, a russian Dutch. That explains everything— your allegiance is the evil country your parents escaped and not the country you were born in. Dictators can be like by the people — just look at Xi in China. Why do you think Putin and the CCP control all news and information? Why do you think they eliminate opposition and arrest people who protest against them? If they loved by their people without being br-âin w-áshed, why do they need to control news and information and highly limit speech and press?

  30. 4:37 joke made that tartar sauce has nothing to do with the Tatar/Tartare people. However, steak tartare is a reference to the Tatar / Tartare.

  31.  @bestbuilder7833  So now only urban areas matter? BTW, around the same time VisualPolitik released this video they released a video of the caste system in India and how it's still showing up in the data. But I guess facts don't matter. I assume you are not a lower caste?
    1
  32.  @aytraf  Also, VisualPolitik also released a video about the data showing the caste system is still in effect at least indirectly. The data all proves it. It's like Americans saying racism was stopped in the 1960's with the civil rights act.

  33.  @bestbuilder7833  “you are not even from India” is what I hear indian nationalist say all the time to anyone that makes any criticism of India. Just like the Chinese nationalist do with criticism of China. No difference. The video on caste system is from last week titled “how the caste system is preventing indias take off”

  34.  @bestbuilder7833  The video from visualpolitii on caste system is from last week titled “how the caste system is preventing indias take off”

  35.  @bestbuilder7833  I'm saying it's problem in India as a whole, not just the rural areas. If the caste system effect was only in small isolated villages, then it wouldn't show up in the data. Have you seen this channels episode on the caste system?

  36. People didn’t think Ukraine had the will to fight and yet here we are. Free Xinjiang! Free Tibet! Free West Taiwan from the PRC!

  37. Most of what Australia exports is raw materials or foods which is globally traded and new buyers can be found, though might have to sell it a little lower. My point is that Australia doesn’t depend on China as much as the basic economic trade data shows.

  38.  @Nick-jn2fq  Kuhan said in another comment “Australia is racist and incompetent. Asia found out”. It’s a CCP account.

  39.  @divya9951  I dont know what to make your incorrect comment. Just not educated or vvumao trying to defend China.

  40. @lati long closer economic ties generally improve their relations but that alone isn’t enough. The west having more Trade with India Vietnam help to decouple from China so that’s the number one reason for it. The claim the Anglosphere (actually the west in general but me thinks you’re anti west) was too generous to China does indeed have real basis. China was given preferential trade conditions and the west allowed China for years to have a system where any foreign company has to partner up with Chinese locals (10% ownership?) and that Chinese company or individual would often steal IP and trade secrets. The west allowed it for years believing that continued trade with China will eventually lead to a softer and more friendly China but then Xi changed everything.

  41. @lati long also, one of the main benefits of the “anglosphere” for most countries is the protection of trade routes around the world. If Russia or China or USSR before had control of the seas around the world, they would not be so kind .

  42.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  “Australia is Enslaved to the US too”. Get out of here. And to prove you wrong in how your suggesting they US is bad for Australia, why doesn’t Australia just say no to the US and evict them out of Australia? Oh, that’s because the US provides a huge defense for Australia in case, I don’t know, the China you are defending attacks or wants to bully Australia?
    1
  43.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  you enjoy the free seas because the US keeps them free. You enjoy being safe from foreign powers because the US. And China - Australia relations were strained because some Australians didn’t like the camps in Xinjiang, the crackdown on Hong Kong, and China hiding Covid for so long. But it ultimately became strained because China is a bully and won’t accept criticism from other countries so if you want o be a puppet of China, how would that be better for Australia?
    1
  44.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  so if Australia wasn’t scared of China, they wouldn’t need US to have a base in Australia and wouldn’t (in your words) act like a puppet of the US, right???

  45.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  Indonesia isn’t standing in it own. It’s being bullied by China in the South China Sea. So is Vietnam. You know nothing..

  47. With 150k russian troops ready to invade, china makes a friendship pact with Russia, signs $117b trade deal, and spreads Russian propaganda— but China is shocked Russia invades? China knew.

  48.  @piruz3243  You're saying the the USSR that was HIGHLY oppressing it's people who had zero access to travel or to make any criticism and where millions were sent to gulags and died and who were involved in so many wars --- was better than Russia post USSR? Wow.

  49.  @piruz3243  "The Iranian revolution was about political freedom and not Islam. One of the main reasons it became Islamic was the deception of Khomeini who promised political freedom when he was in France. " Yes, and they know better not to repeat it. You just want to defend the horrible oppressive regimes of the world by saying "it will never work out!" and ignoring that it did work out for so many. You bring up France...yeah, it took 70 years but it still happened and it lead to revolutions elsehwere that were much quicker in progress but you ignored.

  50.  @piruz3243  i said in the long run, revolutions against unelected leaders generally lead to better countries. There are exceptions but those are few. I do agree that COMMUNIST revolutions are bad. The revolutions must be in support of being able to elect leaders thus the reason I mentioned “revolutions against UNELECTED leaders”. Just about every democracy today came about from revolution of some type.
