  1. 9:52 Deng Xioaping is a good example of how general Secretary isn’t necessarily the power. Another example was Putin 2009-2012 when he had to step down due to term limits and put a puppet in charge while Putin was *Prime Minister (corrected). In weak democracies or non democracies, the leader position isn’t always the most powerful.

  2. Sanctions work more to deter OTHERS from doing the same. The country being sanctioned likely won’t change much since they already started down this path but those sanctions help deter others from starting down the same path.

  3. That’s how cheap labor works — it’s cheap to one party but high paying (relative to options) for the other party.

  4. Probably the two biggest factors is Japan is less corrupt than China (and most others) and China built a lot of HSR that didn’t make sense but because it was a matter of National pride and to demonstrate to the world they are king of HSR.

  5. And China has the CCP that closed down the country for 3 years. Mexicos problems is less cartels and more incompetent policies but yet they are seeing a huge growth in manufacturing. They are next door to US (biggest market in the world) and have free trade within North America. They are in great position to take many of those jobs from China and already are doing so. In fact, many Chinese firms are opening up shop in Mexico joining American, Japanese and Korean companies that seem to dominate many parts of Mexico.

  6. What does gdp per capita have to do with efficiency?

  7.  @Fishmans  HSR is not a morneypit but it also doesn’t mean it can’t become one. China is heavily in debt (nearly $1 trillion) on HSR because they kept building HSR on routes that didn’t make economic sense because those routes didn’t have enough demand for HSR. If they weren’t trying too hard to build HSR to show off to the world, they could have built regular train lines and not gone hundreds of Billions in debt.

  8. You really can’t mount an invasion from those tiny islands. They would be sitting ducks for drones
    68
  9.  @Fishmans  oh, your post is so horrible because you give the only option as “HSR or car”. Have you heard of regular rail?!? It would be cheaper so that more people can use it and it also functions as freight rail. It’s discussed at 12:40
    67
  10.  @d9zirable  but the best segues into an ad are those in the middle or at the start. Messing with the conclusion like this just seems off. Adam Rogussa and internet etiquette have great ads in the middle.

  11. Correct. Foreign aid helps but at the lower end — reducing deaths or just helping the individuals a little bit. They need proper government and proper education. Hard for proper education when they are dying because they don’t have mosquito nets. Or dying because they don’t have the medicine they need. Aid works to some extend and this video is clickbait. Aid needs to be a combo of basic necessities such as clean water access, mosquito nets, and medicine but also education. I don’t know what they can do about the proper government though.

  12.  @LancesArmorStriking  2011? Lol, repeating Russian talking points. Libya no fly zone was UN approved. The Security Council voted in favor of it. And who has veto power to have stopped it? RU and they didn't stop it. Before 2011, He invaded Georgia in 2008 and that was the end of any possibility of being folded into the western system. But it was already problematic before that! The brutal methods used Chechnya by Putin in 1999 already demonstrated Putin’s values are different. Let’s also not forget Alexander Litvinenko poisoned in 2006 in the UK by Russians. So how is Moscow today?
    53
  13. China has an enormous population of students but only a relative few number of very quality universities. They are basically forced to leave China for good higher education. And they are having to pay a lot overseas. This is a major issue of Chinas higher education system.
    52
  14. It’s loosely mentioned after 9 min mark. However, the problems still exist. Their gdp growth is shrinking and they are getting hit with a demographic crisis and housing crisis. Housing construction was the biggest sector for economic growth and now that’s falling. The supply chains available in China are the only reasons China isn’t at 0-2% gdp growth. But they are now projected to be around 4% annual growth for the next 5 or so years and declining after that.

  15. The rankings are flawed but it’s still better than not using the ranking. There is a lot measured in the rankings that do matter a lot — the problem is since the formula is made public, they can gain the system
    46
  16. Yeah, it’s common technique to use both or at least use Celsius. I’m American and didn’t notice that but including Celsius is a must
    45
  17. The labor cost mentioned at the beginning for China is a little misleading. It appears to be taking labor rate for the whole country, but most manufacturing is in the cheaper labor parts of China. As someone who has worked recently with a company that has an operation in China and Mexico I can say they are roughly the same and labor costs for us. The video describes Chinas labor costs as four times more than Mexico.

  18.  @ulrichleukam1068  or maybe the guy who made himself a dictator, eliminated opposition with poison or prison, invaded Georgia in 2008 to effectively keep part of Georgia under Russian control, and who bans protests against him is a person who cares most about the power and fortune he’s accumulate? Nah, let’s stick to the Rus talking points!

  20. This video seems a bit too much like defending Haiti and blaming everyone else. Haitis own rulers have done some horrible things. They even attacked the Dominican Republic. Had some horrible oppressive governments that even committed ethnic cleansing. Etc. Maybe the video should have had 5-7 minutes more going over some of those Internal conflicts as well. The video is accurate in what decided to cover but misleading by ignoring other important parts of Haiti history. Dominican Republic and a few other countries in the region also faced a similar history but they’ve progressed while Haiti hasn’t. Dominican Republic is actually one of the highest gdp per capita in Latin America
    35
  21. This is very much the problem China faces but even much worse. Russia has known this problem and some have speculated that is the reason Putin invaded Ukraine when it did. Putin knows their will be major issues with the economies and the satisfaction from older Russians that rely on the pension thus invading Ukraine in what was thought to be a short week long campaign would boost his support longer.
    34
  22. A big issue for China is that those countries that escaped the middle income trap hit their demographic crisis when they reached upper income. China hit theirs well before they can get there and thus it’s very likely they would not reach the upper income group. With the demographic crisis, and a housing market that is potentially going to crash, but certainly will no longer be housing market that drives the economy, China does have a lot of problems going forward.

    32
  24. @agapp11able “willing to operate them at a loss”. Yeah, $1 trillion and growing. Over doing HSR was to show off to the world. It wasn’t needed — they would have been better off with traditional rail which is more affordable and can be used for freight as well.
    32
  25. Hard to teach them to fish when they are dying because they don’t have mosquito nets. Or dying because they don’t have the medicine they need. Aid works to some extend and this video is clickbait. Aid needs to be a combo of basic necessities such as clean water access, mosquito nets, and medicine but also education.

  26. Japan & South Korea are already working on mending their complicated relationship. They have a history that is problematic but they need each other and they really have a lot in common if they can move on from the past. They are also both very concerned with two major aggressive countries in the region, North Korea & China. Vietnam is officially neutral but they are also working with the US to some capacity because they will want US help if part of China's aggression is towards Vietnam. And it's already well documented that Philippines is working with the US and expanded US troop and base presence in the country.

  31. Are you seriously arguing that the lower cost to build HSR in China isn’t much to do with the super cheap labor there? Also, Australia is such a sparsely populated country spread out that HSR only makes sense in one tiny part—Melbourne to Sydney with a stop in Canberra. And that’s a maybe. Those two big cities are very far away (850km) while HSR works best when you have many cities that closer..
    24
  32. @agapp11able I see your a wumao. Saying Japan doesn’t plan like your glorious CCP and then defending China going $1 trillion in debt on HSR when 1/3 of those routes would be much better serviced with traditional rail that would move far more people and would be used for freight — which would be far more beneficial to inland cities that rely on manufacturing jobs.
    23
  33. “Sponsored by The Cheese Factory”. All jokes aside, I actually did learn a lot. I thought it was just a more expensive Olive Garden / Chili’s / AppleBees fusion restaurant. Didn’t realize how serious they are about making fresh food. No wonder it’s so popular. I live in a major city and we tend to have negative views on chains of restaurants I mentioned because we have better options throughout the city. Other than downtown tourist areas, you won’t most of those restaurants inside the city.

  36. It makes sense too. In the US, there are two major problems that cause that -- it's difficult to get regulations passed and it's difficult to undo pass legislation. So there will be under regulated in lots of places but in other places where a some regulations were indeed passed but later deemed to be a mistake, it's difficult to remove that regulation.

  37.  @Antares000  "And yet what I said still holds. " No, you said western news agencies don't cover it.

    20
  38. How did HSR boos the economy inland?! Traditional rail would allow more people to use rail AND it would function as freight rail which would help inland much more. See 12:40. Lol, all I see is so many comments trying to defend China. China built excessive HSR because they want to show off to the world. HSR cannot be used for freight. Nice lie though.

  39.  @saumyacow4435  where do you even get “tens of millions of trips?” Brisbane to Geelong is same distance Beijing to Hong Kong but with a population 1/2 of Beijing. Seriously, are you a troll?

  40.  @Antares000  " Al Jazeera reports a lot on humanitarian crisis and conflicts that happens in countries that your typical 1st world citizen wouldn't even pay attention nor care about" Actually they are covered by BBC, NPR, and other similar non-profit news agencies. Considering you started with "typical western arrogance", I don't believe you are aware of western News agencies like BBC, NPR, PBS, DW, etc.

  41. @agapp11able omg, the CCP shill / Wumao is here. Still defending China over its concentration camps of Muslims in Xinjiang? To answer your question of “deter who”, well that would be anyone else other than North Korea. Countries / governments tend to act on what is in their best interests and a more prosperous economy is better for the leader. I’ll use your china as an example — why hasn’t china just invaded and taken over Taiwan? China now has the 2nd or 3rd strongest military in the world. The reason they don’t is because even if they successfully take Taiwan, their would be huge economic action against China that Chinas economy would suffer. It’s the potential of those economic sanctions why China is deterred from invading Taiwan.

  43.  @saumyacow4435  and to show you’re ignorance, you’re calling Australia a well populated country for HSR? Australian has 25 million total in the country which is less than single metro population of many Chinese cities, Tokyo and other metros. Brisbane to Geelong is 1,800km and a Total population of around 15 million in that trip. That’s about the same distance as New York City to Miami but with a population smaller than just New York City alone and you think that would be a great investment for HSR? It’s same distance as Barcelona to Berlin. Toronto to Winnipeg.
    17
  44. China had a much bigger piece of land in what is now eastern Russia — but they focused on invading Taiwan and not eastern Russia because it’s manufactured for nationalism support. Also, China had Mongolia but they aren’t threatening to invade Mongolia.
    17
  45. @agapp11able ghost cities isn’t entirely a myth. There are plenty of large building complexes (a new city or a large area in outer part of city with dozens and dozens of high rise) that are still very under populated. I walked around one that appeared to be some 40 high rises (30-40 stories) and at night only 10% of the lights were on. These were 6 yr old buildings. 1 billion would mean 30% fewer people than today which would mean fewer people to use HSR. 1 billion is the high number — newer estimates have it around 750 million, almost half the population of today.
    17
  46.  @danielanderson6933  even in your scenario the rankings still matter— but you also need to apply “what type of program do I want”? The rankings often include rankings for specific degrees or areas of study. I think those are the most relevant than the general overall score. For example, if I want to be an engineer, Harvard might be top in the world in general but Stanford would be ranked better and would a better choice than Harvard.

  47.  @danwelterweight4137  By the 1970's, The UK had eased up heavily on Hong Kong and HK started seeing lots of rights. By the 1980's HK was living mostly like Puerto Rico. But it's 2023 and the CCP took HK back several decades and more limitation of rights are expected. But hey, it's cool that the CCP went backwards 50 years, right? And we have to compare British Rule pre 1970 to CCP rule in 2023 to make CCP look good, right?
    17
  48.  @YandereEnthusiast  yes, India is perfectly normal for Muslims. Except the riots against them. And the camps full of them in the northeast because they are being evicted from their country. Totally normal and reasonable to ask millions and millions of poor people in India to show documents proving their citizenship and if they can’t, they will be kicked out of the country — unless they are Hindus or Christian. Other than China, who is treating Muslims worse than India right now?
    16
  49.  @saumyacow4435  are you a CCP shill? Labor in China is about 1/10 that of rich countries and you’re saying labor isn’t a major factor factor in the cost difference between China and rich countries in high speed rail?
    15
  50.  @saumyacow4435  Brisbane to Geelong is 1800km and would be usd$35 billion cost if using Chinas cost per km or usd$60 billion if using the more likely europe costs per km. $35-$60 billion to service 15 million people over 1850km. Why would someone spend upwards of usd$200 to use HSR between Brisbane and Sydney taking 7-10 hours when flying is under $100 and under 2hours? You really do seem like a troll…

  52.  @keithsj10  imagine Spain or Italy sending refugees back to another country knowing it was certain that refugee would be put to death or tortured at the very least China could ask for international support to help house the North Koreans but Chinas government has never cared about human rights. They don’t take any refugees from any country.

  53.  @chico9805  you also realize that half of Russias reserves are frozen by the west? $300 billion. You also realize that Russia is spending massive amount of money to fight this war and prop up its economy thus leading to huge deficits? In Q1 this year they had a $30 billion deficit, that would be $120 billion over a year! They can’t keep that up while their work force shrinks and they are forced to export at lower prices than they would otherwise.

  54. @agapp11able why would sanctions from the international community against China hurt the U.S. more than China? Lol, good one wumao. China doesn’t own most US debt so you lied. Japan owns more than China and China just holds 15% of the FOREIGN owned debt. Foreign owned debt is just a small part of total debt. You really are full of lies wumao

  55.  @SunsetSecondary  "socialism is the future" based on what? That all the socialist countries dropped it?
    14
  56. Instead of building a few too many HSR routes that are bleeding so much money ($1 trillion debt and rising rapidly despite some profitable lines), they could have build more traditional rail and or improved it. If you don’t think China needs more non HSR rail then why do they have plans for 70,000 km more of rail?

  58.  Mr Wonder  good point with Indians though I would say it applies only broadly to some Indians (or to whatever group is used in this analogy). There are many Indians that truly believe in secularism at home and abroad but plenty that say they want it abroad but at home they defend non secular government.
    14
  59. @agapp11able I’ll repost the question. If you don’t think sanctions deter others from going down this path, why hasn’t China just invaded Taiwan considering China now has the 2nd strongest military and could take Taiwan. The answer is that China knows it will come with major sanctions against them and their economy will suffer. Same reason russia hasn’t just invaded Ukraine yet — they are looking for (manufactured) justification first so they could ignore some of the sanctions.
    14
  60.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  30% of Taiwan support independence now or in future and only 9% support unification now or in the future. The rest support status quo and decide later. And i would venture to guess that vast majority who support status quo support independence of China agreed not to invade
    13
  61.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  ""This is about what China will do" - about what America will do imo. The current tensions started with them." The current tension started when China increased aggressive attitudes towards Taiwan, began increasing military flights near Taiwan, and oppressed Hong Kong. Taiwan lost any faith a unification in the future when they saw how horrible PRC treated HK. You seem to think China isn't a threat? What do you think of the ge-noc.ide in Xinjiang? What happened in 1989 near Tiananmen Square?
    13
  62.  @chico9805  invading Ukraine in 2014 helped boost up Putin’s approval rating after dropping. He was suspected of tampering with elections in 2012 and some people were upset that Putin was running again. There was no geopolitical reason for the invasion — if we had to name the primary reason it’s that Putin wants to be remembered like Peter the Great so he thought he had an easy win in taking Ukraine.

  64. “What I read is some empty HSR is converted to freight for cargo”. Lol, nice shilling for China. Regular rail can move much more freight than HSR. Freight is basically non existent on HSR because it’s too expensive and would require modifications. China should have built traditional rail in half of these routes instead of going a trillion in debt just to try to make China look so much wealthier with all the extra HSR.
    13
  65. Yes, it would be nice to have a better understanding of the underlying causes of each event but that would make for a very long video. My understanding is there a few major factors that most causes are tied to one way or another and which I believe all were mentioned at some point in the video: 1. Xi is more nationalistic and aggressive than any CCP leader since Mao. 2. China is becoming more militarily & economically powerful (thus also politically powerful) and feels it can be more aggressive. Look at it's actions in the south china sea 3. Most Taiwanese were born well after the slit with the PRC. Fewer and fewer Taiwanese see themselves as 'Chinese'. Reminds me of Emperor Justinian of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantines). In 475, Italy (and the what was left of the western Roman Empire) was taken over by Germanic groups. About 60-70 years later, Emperor Justinian comes into Italy to bring Italy back into the control of the 'Romans'. But almost one from Italy was alive during the last time it was under Roman rule and they no longer identified as the same group as the Eastern Roman Empire. 4. China's treatment of Hong Kong which was supposed to be far more automous scared a huge number of those that held out hope for a unification. 5. In part to all the above 4 factor, Taiwan has been increasingly showing itself as independent.

    11
  74. @agapp11able the entire point of over building HSR was to show off to the world. Discussed at 13:20. If they cared about the future economic conditions, they would have built traditional rail that is more affordable to the population and can be used for freight so that inland cities manufactures have more freight options. China loves to try to show off and pretend it’s richer than it is — now they are $1 trillion in debt on HSR and debt is growing rapidly.
    11
  75. @agapp11able wumao thinks the criticism in the video is just conjecture from the author but then repeats CCP talking points everywhere to defend $1 trillion debt on HSR. So why not build traditional rail that can be used by everyone in these smaller markets AND could function as freight rail to help all the manufacturers?
    11
  76.  @Tommidgely170  China learned a lot from Mao…And yet Xi Jinping erased term limits, consolidated power, and has created a cult of personality. So it doesn’t look like they learned from Mao.

  77.  @SunsetSecondary  " There are many examples of socialism working" yet they all failed. "but a good example of socialism working is when Salvador Allende was elected president of chile in 1970" The average Real GDP contracted between 1971 and 1973 at an annual rate of 5.6% ("negative growth"), and the government's fiscal deficit soared while foreign reserves declined. During this time, a shortage in basic commodities led to the rise of black markets which ended in late 1973 after Allende was ousted.
    10
  78. There isn’t a wider economic benefit. It’s a luxury travel for the richer people of China. It does have some economic benefits but it doesn’t mean all HSR routes are smart decisions which is why HSR has $1 trillion debt and growing rapidly in China despite having many lines that are profitable. The reason they over built HSR is because China wants to fake it to the world about how great they are. They also built some routes as a way to help oppress people in some parts like Xinjiang where they are committing genocide and Tibet where people have been oppressed for a long time.

  80.  @vstachen7761  " In conclusion, you cannot deny that China was the victor of World War" No, the US was. China was on the winning side -- but ur argument is that since China was on the winning side where the US won it, China gets everything they want? They weren't on the negotiation table. This point is moot becuase KMT did get Taiwan and still have Taiwan so it's not important. Why do you support the camps of Uyghurs???

It’s more valuable if not for the reason that the PRC wants to continue this manufactured need of Taiwan in order to drive up Nationalism. Taiwan has almost zero value to PRC if the Chinese government didn’t manufacture all of this. It’s a tiny island with little natural resources. And if you want to bring up “Taiwan has Han Chinese”, then why not ask those Han Chinese in that island what they want? Point being, that isn’t a reason nor justification for any invasion

  94. China going the route of Russia and destroying international norms and laws would also be very horrible. If China invades Taiwan, the rest of the South China Sea and East China Sea are next. That means Vietnam, japan and South Korea are in danger.

  95.  @lc7583  Taiwan is a country in practice. And no they are not a province of China. Well, unless you agree they mainland China belongs to the government of Taiwan? So quite playing these word games that don’t add value to the discussion. Do you support South Korea invading North Korea. It’s they simple — it’s the most perfect comparison.

  102. 15:23 “although the sanctions (against Russia) may have slowed its efforts, it has not dissuaded them” sanctions don’t stop the current actions but they deter future actions from happening. Once a leader/govt makes a decision to invade, little stops them but if Putin knew the west would rally around Ukraine, he likely wouldn’t have invaded. These sanctions on Russia are likely helping to deter China from invading Taiwan or doing anything that might lead to such sanctions.

  106.  @nobodyspecial4702  By denying American businesses access to the best shipping options, the Jones Act boosts transportation costs. Shipping oil from Texas to the Northeast costs three times more than shipping oil from Africa to the Northeast, an extra cost paid by U.S. consumers. For every $1 gained by U.S. sailors, shipbuilders and carriers as a result of the act, U.S. consumers lose more than $1, resulting in a net loss. The Jones Act is also bad for the environment. More expensive U.S. vessels mean the U.S. shipping industry has fallen behind in terms of innovation: Companies hang onto older, less fuel-efficient and more dangerous ships rather than updating or retiring them. Older fleets mean more pollution and energy use. High waterborne transportation costs also divert freight from ships to trucks and trains, which are more polluting too.

  109.  @John_Smith_86  yeah, this is probably the 2nd or 3rd video I’ve seen from him that was very problematic. It glossed over most of the history of its terrible government and actions and tried to put the majority of the blame on US and France. Dominican Republic has a similar history, certainly with the US, and they doing well with one of the highest gdp per capita in Latin America. The difference is they have had competent government for a while now. And the video at the ends basically said Haiti will improve if receives no aid and support. Really?

  110.  @jcrobin1991  do you deny that there are concentration camps in China? You didn’t answer that and I’m sure you will Ignore it again. If you deny then concentration camps, what do you think is happening in all those prisons where millions of Muslims from Xinjiang have been sent?

  111.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  but you said only 10% support independence. At least 30% and I’m sure the vast majority do if the question was asked if they support independence if China assured peace. But we all know China is a bully and would never let that happen thus while 30% support independence now or in the future, 55-60% support status quo and decide later. I agree that the Taiwanese are patient — they have to. This is about what China will do though.

  114.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  " and then you fail to include a time." So let me get this straigt -- Trump put tarrifs on China and you think it is then reasonable for China to threaten to invade Taiwan, increase military fly overs, become more aggressive? That makes China extremely dangerous so how does that help you? Also, I pointed out that Taiwan lost all hope in 2019 & 2020 when they saw how horrible China treated HK. Is that also reasonable of China as revenge for Trump tariffs? You are describing PRC as a unhinged and dangerous. I saw that Savy S called you out on your timeline. The Democartic Progessive Party of Taiwan won an election and they were against unification. That was 2017. You know what else happened in 2017? The camps started in 2017. Very peaceful, right? Why do you support camps of Uyhgurs?

Would you produce a youtube video detailing what he did with a 'centrist' angle? Would a totally not bias non partisan video of Adolph make both the Jews and Adolph look equal? I understand what your saying but I disagree. Playing right down the middle makes it look like both sides have equal arguments but that is dangerous and can lead to prop/agandda.

Those games are putting the US navy and military in a worst case scenario, not the expected scenario.

  127. @agapp11able also, saying Russia doesn’t want to Invade is a lie. They do but they don’t because of the economic sanctions. They are already creating videos staging a scene where it looks like a russian village was attacked by Ukraine weapons. They wouldn’t be looking for justification if they had ZERO interest in attacking. But you’re the CCP shill that lied by saying China holds most of US debt when it’s only a small fraction and Japan holds even more. The same wumao that defends China over concentration camps of Muslims

Univ of IL might be 40th overall in the world and there might a 10th ranked in California but If I’m interested in engineering, Univ of IL is top 5 in US (top 10 world) and on par with the one in California for engineering. I can go to University of IL for half the cost than the one in California so why would people choose the one in California?

  133.  @alespic  it doesn’t say the rankings are completely worthless but they they aren flawed. Furthermore, I stated my own opinion. The top 10 universities in the world from these rankings are indeed some of the best in the world. Don’t be the dummy that thinks the top 10 aren’t truly top 100. These rankings still provide a decent understanding of the quality of the universities even if they aren’t perfect.

  134.  @jackzhou4813  US didn’t invade Yugoslavia and and Afghanistan was 110% warranted. And vvumao, Taiwan never belonged to the PRC.

  139. I agree for the most part. I do think external intervention is some factor but this video seems to make that as the main factor with nothing else close. Haiti’s government has been horrible, oppressive, corrupt, and incompetent since it was founded. Next door Dominican Republic was able to overcome a similar history as Haiti with much more competent government.

  140. Japan is very xenophobic like most of Asia. If you weren't japanese descent, you would have more trouble moving to Japan. For comparison, US has about 14% of it's population foreign born, Canada a little higher, western Europe around 8-15% on the average. Japan and South Korea are just over 2%. China is 0.1%. Japan, SK and China are all going through demographic collapses and all will need to bring in more immigrants. But culturally, they just don't' accept it. japan (and possibly SK) seem to be slowly easing into it. China, with their authoritarian government, is unlikely to to have any major increase for a while.

  142.  @jcrobin1991  Huh, of course the WUMAO defends China over it's concentration camps and genocide. The population did go from 10 mil to 12.5mil but the genocide didn't start until 2017 so why are you using population from 20 years ago? Birth rates have dropped to well below national average suddenly beginning in 2017. So how does the population growing from 2000 to 2017 show that China isn't committing genocide since 2017?

"they can just increase the ticket price in rich region." LOL. Supply & demand. They already have low ridership in some of those routes -- how do you just increase ticket prices and still get the same or similar number of passengers? " we manufacture lots of steel, and we have to consume it, otherwise there will be economic crisis. Building HSR can create more jobs" Building more traditional rail or improving traditional rail also creates jobs and would have better use. That's why China is scheduled to build tens of thousands of KM of traditional rail in the next decade. Why do you people insist on arguing that China can make no bad decisions?

  146.  @wei270  what Vietnam protest were people shot and killed? How many died? Was it as much 3,000? Was it ordered by the federal govt or just the city Police? Why did there continue to be protests but in China all protest against the national party ceased with no more protests since then?

  149.  @jperin001  yes, it is very hypocritical of the CCP to consistently say they are about equality while only having a relatively low number of high quality universities. All that does is insure that only the very top students can get good higher education. In most western nations, not only do very top students have access to high quality education but so do a large number of middle tier students ensuring more people have access to good education

  150. @tacitus By that logic, Somalia is evidence what happens when people follow through with Republicans plan of limited government. You see how easy that is to do?

  151.  @overlord9476  also, in your response to Doncarlo, you mentioned China would Have naval superiority over US and Japan. No they wouldn’t — US has by far strongest navy and Japan has a navy almost on par with China. As Ukraine proved, it’s easier to fight defense than to fight offense. China would have to go on the offense to get around Japan and US navy as well as military force from Taiwan such as drones, missiles, etc.

  152.  @overlord9476  “you’re assuming politics is only about economics”. so you’re agreeing that PRC wanting Taiwan is politics? That’s literally my point — it’s manufactured for the purpose of politics. It drives up nationalism so that the PRC can rally its people around the government against a manufactured enemy just like what Putn did with lîês about Ukraine

  154.  @realname4401  you’re stating inaccurate things to defend China and yet you have issues that quoted stats from research and from respectable YouTuber channels like the economist at Money and Macro? And the Chinese gdp numbers are inflated and some estimates do argue the true gdp is less than 50% of official numbers. I did state it was a hard fact that’s why I literally gave you the official numbers from your CCP and the extreme end of the estimate. Or what about the NBER (national Bureau of economic research) saying that their research indicates chinas annual gdp growth is exaggerated 1.8% pts between 2010-2016? So let’s say it was 1.8% pts a year inflated from 1980 to 2020. Assuming official reported annual growth was 10% but the estimate is saying 8.2%, after 40 years the estimated gdp would be about 50% of the Chinaofficial numbers. And the research I was pointing to when saying the estimate might be as low as 40% of reported was from the university of Chicago using night time lighting. The study didn’t focus on China but found “The results suggest that autocracies overstate yearly GDP growth by approximately 35%.” And found China to be the second worse between what their data shows and what is reported…only Myanamar was worse. In addition, Chinas government has admitted the gdp figures china reports is man made. from Reuters a few years ago: - China’s GDP figures are “man-made” and therefore unreliable, the man who is expected to be the country’s next head of government said in 2007, according to U.S. diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks.

  155. Long story short, China is basically buying diplomatic support so those nations and others who want to do business with China stay quiet or defend china on Xinjiang concentration camps, Hong Kong oppression, their attempts to steal the South China Sea from its neighbors with fake islands they build, and potentially an invasion Or attack on Taiwan.

That already was a horrible first step if Haiti wanted any international support. And I think you're missing the point of OP and many of the arguments here -- the point is this video seems to put all the blame on actions from the 1800's and almost none of the blame on Haiti over and over having terrible governments that were also often very oppressive and corrupt. It just glosses over SOME of the bad decisions the governments made seeming to imply government itself isn't the major problem today.

  165.  @MoribinJ  but China is now $1 trillion in debt on HSR and they built HSR between cities with little demand. I can’t believe you don’t think those cities would be better off with traditional rail where more people can afford, less debt, and if could be used as a fright line to help manufacturers transport their productiva from the poorer inland to other cities.

It’s extremely hard for a student in China that I’m fairly certain they have lots of students committing suicide that we will never know about since there isn’t a free press there. But I’m friends or acquaintances with many people from China and they all tell a similar story about how hard life is there for student child. They say once you do go a university, it’s not that hard compared to western universities.

  174. At one of my jobs we underwent an ERP. We had 6 months of preparing and after that, we we rolled it out. We had issues for maybe a year. This was for a company with 400 workers (50 office workers) so something far more complex and much larger like Target would most certainly need more time to prepare an ERP implementation and troubleshooting that follows for a while after.

  181.  @Commievn  Lowy Institute is estimating 3% gdp growth by 2030 and 2-3% after that. I’m not sure what you’re trying argue because even if it’s 4% by 2030 and declining after, they will fall very short of the gdp per capita of japan and South Korea. Very short. As a point of reference, when japan and South Korea where at similar gdp per capita as China is now, they were growing 8% plus for several more years. That’s a huge difference Lowy institute said: - China will likely experience a substantial long-term growth slowdown owing to demographic decline, the limits of capital-intensive growth, and a gradual deceleration in productivity growth. - Even with continued broad policy success, our baseline projections suggest annual economic growth will slow to about 3% by 2030 and 2% by 2040, while averaging 2–3% overall from now until 2050. - China would still become the world’s largest economy, but it would never enjoy a meaningful lead over the US and would remain far less prosperous and productive per person even by mid-century. That was from March 2022.

  195. @@gaius_octavius Demographic issue is NOT overplayed. Especially when you consider WORKING AGE population decline. Working age population today is around 980 million. It grew from about 880 milllion 20 years ago. in 10 years it's expected to be 40 million lower. So going from about from about 0.6% annual growth in that demo to about 0.4% decline is just by itself a 1% annual decline in GDP if there were no other factors. But add in that the non working age population will grow for a while, you will have an ever increasing retired population to working population which means more spending on retired people and less for economic growth projects. And by 2043, in just 20 years, China's working age population will be 14% lower than today! That's huge!

But they've had competent government for maybe 30 or 40 years and it started paying off in economic growth. In 1990, DR gdp per capita was $992 to Haiti's $440, a difference of $552. Today the DR is at $8,604 to Haiti's $1815, a difference of $6,789. DR improved $7,612 or 8.7x compared to Haiti's $1,375 or 4.1x.

  207.  @shuruiliu5713  Basically, your whole argument relies on this: 1. there is no such thing as bad HSR decisions so long as it's built 2.

There can be NOTHING else that China can spend money on other than the fastest HSR.

Of course the wumao doesn't think anything horrible is going on and has the imaginary friend from Xinjiang. What we do know from solid evidence that you wumaos ignore is: 1. Leaked CCP documents detail China's plan to go after Muslim culture 2. Millions have been sent to concentration camps 3. Large share of those sent to the camps have been tortured. Confirmed by hundreds of former prisoners AND a former Chinese detective. 4. Leaked documents and CCP detective confirm they are targeting people who are essentially just practacting Islam -- having long beards, giving up smoking or drinking, wearing Muslim clothing, praying anywhere but the mosque, etc. 5. Images and other evidence show at least 380 camps built since 2017 6. Images and other evidence show 1/3 of Mosques destroyed between 2017-2020 with another 1/3 damaged the remainder set to be damaged by removing many of the Islamic features on the outside of mosques. Yeah, nothing horrible, right?

  221. $1 TRILLION in debt and rapidly growing is not a way to "have huge economic benefit by providing fast, efficient, and accessible transportation". They would be better served by building far less expensive high speed rail or by building more/improved traditional rail that can be used for freight. These poorer cities have far more need for freight and and more affordable passanger rail than HSR. The reason China built too many HSR at the highest speeds is to pretend they are wealthier than they are and show off to the world -- which then many ccp trolls (like I see here) would then brag about it.

But the comparisons I used are from the same source so it takes care of the issue of using different metrics. For example, the 75% appears to be FRED household debt to gdp. That’s not the total private debt in the US, it’s just household debt. It’s not counting business debt. The 225% from OECD is certainly looking at something very different— they don’t say “household debt” but “private sector debt”. That could be either the business debt or the total household and business debt. The point is you made clear mistake and wasted my time.

  248. Before the video started that was easily my guess. Everything is about supply and demand and I know that Japan has a declining population so I assumed the demand is dropping. and like much of the world, the people are moving into cities and abandoning small towns and villages. So a shrinking population WITH a population increasingly moving into the urban areas will mean a lot of empty homes.

I would say they were normal before Modi. But attacks on Muslims is growing, anti-Islamic rhetoric is common about the nationalist leaders, and the citizenship act makes India much worse than the average for 3rd world. It's only going to get worse. Modi and his party won't stop. As long as they keep the economy growing, they will be empowered to be even more aggressive towards Muslims just like China's Xi did.

  293.  @MLGDatBoi  "The kids will always assimilate... you'll see how literally all of them talk about conflicts with their immigrant parents due to cultural differences(dealt with this myself too lol)." As an American with foreign born parents, I agree..mostly. It might vary by community, but my parents are from Mexico. I'm like 95% assimilated but I know many people born to Mexican born parents who are less assimilated but still mostly assimilated. I feel it ranges from 50-80% for most unless they grow up around mostly white people and they get fully assimilated. But the 2nd generation born in the US among the Mexican community is almost all 100% assimilated. In schools these kids that Parkerbohnn is talking about who don't speak English...I was one of them. I spoke English but I was terrible at it and had to take a special bilingual class until 2nd grade. Now, my Spanish sucks and like I said, 95% assimilated.

  294.  @MLGDatBoi  "That "mostly assimilated" is the sweet spot that allows people to fit in pretty well into the US while still contributing unique aspects of their identities to overall American culture" Very well said. " and I think the lack of Indonesians in the US made it harder to maintain cultural practices and traditions." Yup. So I'm Latino and of course there are large latino populations so it allows us to maintain that balance of being assimilated while also holding on to lots of our roots. I have Chinese friends and noticed that if they grew up in the Suburbs, they tend to be just about 100% assimilated and fit right in with just about all aspects of white America. But those that grew up in the cities often with large Asian (especially Chinese) population around them, they tend to maintain a lot more of their Chinese culture and identity.

  298.  @shuruiliu5713  " of course Chinese government made some bad decision before" Would you say the concentration camps and genocide in Xijiang are bad decisions? Just a litmus test. " But building HSR is not one of bad decisions" Why, Because you said so? HSR is good - but why does EVERY ROUTE need to be good? This is the problem with you and many here -- suggesting no HSR route can be bad. China has $1 trillion in debt and RAPIDLY rising on HSR despite having many routes that are very profitable. That means the routes that are not profitable are losing LOTS of money, well in excess of $1 trillion. THE VIDEO EVEN DISCUSSED HOW CHINA BUILT THE FASTEST HSR LINES THAT ARE NEARLY TWICE THE COST OF A LITTLE SLOWER HSR. Money is limited and there are much better things to spend money on than on luxury services like HSR for routes that loose lots of money. They could build more affordable housing, more traditional rail, or just slower HSR. >Traditional rail is also built at the same time. In my province, shandong province. they plan to build 200km traditional rail for cargo freight this year. Exactly, they could have already built all that if China wasn't trying to impress the world by building the most expensive fastest HSR to routes that don't need it. Basically, your whole argument relies on this: 1. there is no such thing as bad HSR decisions so long as it's built 2. It's always best to keep building more and more of the fastest HSR regardless if there is demand or a much less expensive slower HSR. 3. There can be NOTHING else that China can spend money on other than the fastest HSR.

  301. @agapp11able "Chinese debt to GDP ratio in 2021 was 69% of GDP." And it's growing rapidly and a ticking time bomb. 1/8th of China's debt is just from HSR. The country as a whole has debt problem with many private individuals forced into debt. "China’s non-financial-sector debt—incurred by the government, corporate, and household sectors—reached a record level of 272 percent of China’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020. "

One could say that it isn’t very efficient and it costs a lot to make progress but it most certainly helps some amount. Aid has slowly been transformed over the years. There is more and more direct money aid or direct aid on goods or services that just can’t be produced by local markets such as mosquito nets, medicine, and “doctors without borders”. This video is a bit clickbaita d the title most certainly is. The video does at the very end concede some aid does work but it spent the whole video saying it doesn’t work.

  320.  @clemente111  what companies on the the continent are producing mosquito net and medicine?

  351.  @realname4401  "Then the transition will be to cheap moderately skilled labor." Saying that doesn't mean it will happen successfully enough to get China to be anywhere near on par with Japan, South Korea or Western Europe let alone the US which is even higher GDP per capita than all of those. Are you really going to ignore all the data already showing China's GDP growth are now projecting to be at most about 4% annual growth for the rest of the decade? " Subsidies are labor costs if you think about it. The money is still coming from somewhere" Yeah, a rather fast growing total debt to GDP ratio is higher than the US already!! I'm referring to total debt from government debt to corporate debt to personal debt. China uses state owned businesses and the debt from individuals that pay for homes (which was the biggest contributor to GDP) for much of it's debt but it's still debt in the society. Unlike the US, China's currency is not the main reserve currency in the world so they cannot run as much debt as the US. These debts means fewer investments for things that will grow the economy the best. In fact, new debt being taken on by China is having a much smaller return in investment than just 4 or 5 years ago.. To go over some of those debt numbers, the household debt to household income ratio in China is higher than the US and has been higher since about 216. The US ratio has been falling steadily from 2007ish to 2019 (last year of the report) while China has been growing steadily from 2008 to 2019. China's at about 125% in 2019 to the US around 100%.. There's also data on "private debt / gdp" which I believe is all debt not from the government (individuals and businesses) and it's more of the same. US has been falling since a out 2008 and was around 150% in 2019 or 2020. China has been growing at a fast rate with their private debt /gdp ratio hitting around 217% in 2019. Then they have a a total debt to GDP ratio comparison. This data is from Money & Macro and they discussed how China's GDP is likely highly overestimated and true GDP might be around 40-60% of the Chinese official state provided GDP. But they point out that even using China's official GDP figures, they already are close to 300% total Debt to GDP ratio, roughly where the US is at. And using the estimated GDP, China's Debt to GDP ration is up to 700%!! So yes, those subsidies are coming from somewhere and it's debt. Debt that is rising and already higher than the US by some metrics when compared to GDP and growing fast.

  352.  @2KSnSLifestyle  China does offer some companies big perks -- and yet China's growth is shrinking fast. That additional GDP growth they lost is going somewhere for a reason. In fact, there is a lot of money flowing out of China in large part due to concerns with Xi and his ever increasing meddling in the economy and businesses.
    3
  353.  @2KSnSLifestyle  I don't even know what your trying to argue. It seems like you are trying to blindly defend China without even knowing what I had argued. All my arguments have been to point out that China's GDP growth is slowing down and projected to be 3-3.5% by 2030 and under 3% by 2040. I'm also pointing out that other countries are stepping up and taking some of the lost growth of China. These are simple facts. But instead, you just went on some tangent just trying to defend China by raising points that don't prove anything I said was wrong and some of what you raised is inaccurate or misleading or just huge assumptions on your behalf. For example "All OPEC countries have joined the BRI and allow China to buy oil in RMB". That's not remotely true. Some countries in OPEC are considering it -- but it hasn't happened. Saudi Arabia & Iran? Great, all it did was just say those two will talk. It's a minor accomplishment. The only big news there is that China was involved but the actual agreement was not a big deal. And Russia? You mean China's close allies where both China and Russia are a threat to the world? And the bank failures in the west? High interest? Sure, but China had a failure in Evergrande and the housing market is about to collapse so China is spending large amounts of money trying to prevent a horrible crash. All of this is happening as many Chinese are moving their money out of China due to concerns with Xi's policies. Foreign investments into China are dropping as well for the same reason. And the demographic crisis means China is seeing a smaller and smaller work force which is why most economist, banks and other financial experts are estimating China's GDP growth will be close to 3% in just 7 years and falling more after thus meaning China will never get near Japan or South Korea on per capita wealth and incomes.

  363.  @jpaugh64  you make to much sense. 6 months later after this video, chinas economy is having problems. Gdp growth was just 0.4% this past quarter, Henan baking crisis is possibly the tip of the iceberg for banking, large numbers of people are withholding payments on loans because housing projects aren’t being built, housing market is shaky and on Verge of a collapse, China lent out massive amounts on projects and many of those countries are now struggling to pay as some are hitting financial crisis already unable to pay China, etc. China is having all these issues and the debt crisis is problem. So spending on all that HSR where it wasn’t remotely profitable is now looking very bad.

  364.  @ulrichleukam1068  "I am not defending RU," You state factually incorrect or misleading claims that support RU and you say you are not defending them? And you also do it in other comments? You do it more than once, it's no longer a coincidence --- its an active effort to defend RU. " I would like for this war to end" but then...."This is a war caused geopolitics and the USA would have done similarly if China or Russia built bases all around North America or/and entered military alliances with US neighbors". That's exactly defending RU so why not be honest with us and tell us how Moscow is today? So, after you get the 100 rubles, ever stop to think why so man of former states of the USSR went for protection with NATO? Could be the the type of country that would invade peaceful Ukraine and comm1t w@r cr1mes is the type of government that nearby states might want protection from? No, it has to be someone's fault!

  369. 2:52 you mention your bonus video “why Chinese propaganda fails”. Uh, you’re last video is debunking the Chinese debt trap myth but you buried the true sinister reason at the very end and spend only 30 seconds saying they are loaning out so much money in order to buy votes in UN to defend their concentration camps, their actions in Hong Kong, and their attempts to illegally take the south China sea. You literally fed into Chinese propaganda and your video was thus full of wumao (CCP shills) in the comment sections praising your video and China.

He has two comments in this video's comments and both have about 10 likes but the comments before and after have 0-2 likes. They are using bots to like their own comments. Furthermore, it just repeats CCP talking points. In the other comment they made, they lied and said China only had a reduction in population growth rate due to the pandemic but the trend has been going on for decades. They then used 3 or 4 paragraphs to randomly list accomplishments of the CCP. This is a pure wumao account.

  372.  @functionc  "mo It is a very true statement Taiwan can't defend itself right now" And China can't take Taiwan right now. Hence whey they don't say the invasion is now but in a couple more years.
    3
  373. Long story short, China is basically buying diplomatic support so those nations and others who want to do business with China stay quiet or defend china on Xinjiang concentration camps, Hong Kong oppression, their attempts to steal the South China Sea from its neighbors with fake islands they build, and potentially an invasion Or attack on Taiwan.
    3
  374.  @Chopper153  Yeah, this video buries the sinister reason why they are doing it in a 30-60 second part near the end. China is buying votes so they have governments defending their concentration camps and genocide as well as defending them on their threats to invade taiwan and to steal the south china sea.
    3
  375.  @Chopper153  "CCP must be applauded to create a communist empire after the fall of Soviet Union" That's like applauding a fascist country today killing many innocent people for learning from Nazi mistakes. My point is that they must not be applauded -- especially since CCP has more in common with Nazi Germany than Soviet Union. CCP is a fascist government with concentration camps of persecuted minorities and have a free market with the richest people having close ties to the government.

  376. That's why CCP can commit genocides -- no worries they will be elected out of office.

  377. You are arguing everywhere as if there is not such thing as a bad HSR route or bad planning, at least when it comes to China. I don’t think you are capable of criticizing the CCP. Do you think the CCP is fault for Tiananmen Square massacre that killed likely thousands? Do you think it’s horrible that the CCP has concentration camps and is committing cultural genocide in Xinjiang? I have a feeling you aren’t going to criticize the CCP for either, especially when you are subscribed to pro CCP or CCP shill YouTube channels such as “reports on China” and CCP adviser Jin Canrong

  378. @agapp11able wumao, why won’t you answer the question of why Russia is trying to manufacture a pretext for the invasion?! As for 2014, they didn’t officially invade Ukraine. That’s how they were able to avoid extreme sanctions. Crimea voted and Russia came up with a pretext that they were there as peacekeepers. Now answer the question you CCP shill. Why is russia (your CCP ally) looking to manufacture a pretext for the war instead of just invading? You said Putin has support at home already so why fake a pretext?
    3
  379. @agapp11able "they did officially invade though by taking over Crimea." Nope, of course the wumao lied. They used a pretext of peacekeeping, got a vote, and the vote favored russia. There was no blood shed. So, why is Russia looking for a pretext to start a war with Ukriane that would lead to mass causalities?
    3
  380. @agapp11able You can't use the same pretext twice. That' defeats the purpose of a pretext. Why do you continue to refuse to say why Russia is trying to fake a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine?
    3
  381. @agapp11able Also notice how you once again refused to answer why Russia is looking to create a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine. Why is Russia looking to stage a fake attack against a russian village and blaming Ukraine for it?

  383.  @w.lyunen991  wumao, the aboriginals of Taiwan didn’t belong to China before the 17th century. Why are you repeating CCP talking points?

    3
  384.  @w.lyunen991  you have clearly lied that Taiwan belonged to China since ancient times. Ancient times would mean at a minimum 1,500 years ago. It’s been less than 350 years since China first controlled Taiwan and since then it’s been controlled half the time by Japan or current Taiwan government. Are you CCP trolls actually paid to lie?

That angered the US so much that they passed a bill called "Magnitsky Act" to punish those who were involved.

  396.  @haitaoliu9743  " It just doesn't meet the needs." because they need more. This isn't rocket science. China's HSR debt is $1 trillion and it's growing rapidly. Population will be declining shortly and is expected to drop to 750 million by 2100, down almost 50% from today. HSR will continue to rack up debt and in a decade, there will be fewer and fewer people in China so it will bring revenue down for HSR while costs continue to rise. China would have been much better off building new/improved traditional road or even lower HSR that is more affordable to everyone and less costly. But China wanted to build the most expensive HSR just like they want to build the tallest buildings -- to appear richer than they are and show off to the world
    3
  397.  @pepelepew1227  "also the biggest driver of revenue in railway is not passengers, it's freight !!! -- never not freight" Yes, and traditional rail has far more freight on it than HSR which has essentially zero freight.

  398.  @skyisreallyhigh3333  lol, you’re suggesting china can do no wrong? Do you believe the genocide and concentration camps of Uyghurs is wrong? And homeless in China is a significant number of people living in squalor like the underground city in Beijing where millions live in cramped basements.
    3
  399.  @skyisreallyhigh3333  "When USA built their rail system they built rail to the middle of nowhere." Yes, but because there were goods and materials in those regions that need to be connected to the rest of the US. However, it doesn't mean the US should put HSR there like China did between cities that don't make sense. Of course you believe China can do no wrong, you even defend them on their genocide and concentration camps of Uyghurs.
    3
  400.  @skyisreallyhigh3333  Also interesting that you didn't say you condemn China's genocide nor acknowledged it. I was quick to admit the US did commit genocide in the 1800's. Wumaos never can condemn China.

  401.  @howyo4013  "Agree. When building high-speed railways, social benefits should be firstly considered. Its like profits to all society not single company." Yes, and unless you a paid shill, you should also acknowledge that building just any HSR isn't always a good decision. $1 trillion debt and RAPIDLY growing is a sign it's likely a bad decision. Funds could have been better used on traditional rail to improve or add lines.
    3
  402.  @GoodBaleadaMusic  "I'm talking about cost over runs in a growing system and you are talking about massive State corruption." So which is China? Are you allowed to criticize China and admits not every decision they make is a good decision? Do you think their genocide and concentration camps of Uyghurs is a good decision?
    3
  403.  @tuesdaysgone2379  "it is just true that a railroad is build for 100 years. It is a 100 years investment." Wumao, of course you just made that up. You bring Japan and Japan has built HSR in recent decades and it did not got massively in debt like China. You keep ignoring that China is $1 TRILLION in debt and RAPIDLY rising. HSR doesn't need to turn a profit but it doesn't mean $1 TRILLION in debt and RAPIDLY rising is excusable.

    3
  407. @agapp11able see — I use ASPI which is funded by Australia. They make all their funding public and they give you all the evidence data — in spreadsheets, pics, gps coordinates, etc. You refuse that because it receives funding from Australia while you blindly accept anything that is Chinese funded and fully controlled for the purpose of state propaganda. Of course a wumoa can’t see not only the hypocrisy but how your source is much worse.
    3
  408. @agapp11able it doesn’t matter when both are financed by the government? Yet you use the give source that provides no transparency while serving as a propaganda media for that government. Hmmm…doesn’t sound like a wumao at all

  409. @agapp11able everyone that investigates anything remotely related to China is considered “hostile” by you Wumaos.

  420. Taiwan has lots of close Allies while China has zero Allies. No one trusts China like no one trusts Russia and that’s why they have no true allies. Japan and US have indicated they would likely help Taiwan in the fight while the rest of the western world would unify against China in sanctions and in weapons aid to Taiwan. Xi can’t be trusted though - he has expansion goals which is why he’s been aggressive in the South China Sea and East Sea.

  421. @daneilkennedy2371 ,The video does a great job of giving you a quick overview but these problems are probably much bigger than what can be discussed in a 14 min video. Too much total debt (national govt, provincial governments, state owned companies, and individual) is extremely high for a country that’s middle income and looking for more growth. The demographic “collapse” is going to make overcoming all these problems more difficult as well as the geopolitical fallout from China’s govt aggression towards others and defend of Russia. That geopolitical issue is why its largest trading partners (the west and its neighbors) will not be there to help China but instead are looking to reduce trade and dependence of China.
    3
  422. @@gaius_octavius Bwhat do you mean "one single statistic". The demographics issue is huge. Of course its not the only big factor which is why the drop isn't modest but will be big. Nobody said it was the only major issue -- THEY ARE CALLING YOU OUT FOR DOWNPLAYING ITS IMAPCT. To put things in perspective, when Taiwan/South Korea/Japan were at simialr GDP per capita as China is today, they had 6-8% annual gdp growth for the next 20 years. China is expected to have 2.5-3% average growth over next 20 years. That's a tremendous difference. One huge reason for that drop is those other countries had growth in the working age population while China will have a decline. For example, South Korea was about 30 million people working age in 1996 and about 37 million in 2016. Over those 20 years it had a demo growth of over 20%. China over next 20 years will have a decline as low as 15% over next 20 years. DO you understand the difference betrween 20% growth and 15% decline? No other changes, if they they both started at 100 GDP, the 20% growth goes to 120 and the other goes to 85. That means the 20% growth in demo will have a 40% higher GDP than the 15% decrease in demo.

  430.  @lc7583  I just want to clarify a few things: 1. Are you saying you support China invading Taiwan becuase China has refused to accept Taiwan independence? But you are not supporting South Korea invading NK because South Korea isn't currently saying they want to take NK back by force if needed? 2. Are you saying you went to Xinjiang and investigated yourself? and that it means nothing that there are plenty of videos of journalists trying to visit or get near the camps or certain mosques and Chinese officials are blocking their access and even harassing them? 3.

  431.  @Wustenfuchs109  you are way off on “Taiwan claims mainland China”. They have not publicly made that argument in many decades. They are forced to claim it in their constitution Because China has threaten to invade Taiwan if they publicly claim independence. Changing the constitution to say “we don’t claim mainland China and are not part of mainland China ” is exactly saying they are claiming independence. Do yours of a favor and look up real life lore and their video “why Taiwan sorta claim an Mongolia and more”. It details how Taiwan is must claim one China policy or else China might invade them

  443.  @sreejithsubhash7301  profits don’t matter but it doesn’t mean major debt is not a problem either. $1 trillion debt and RAPIDLY rising just for HSR is a problem and evidence of bad decision making. But you seem to think that China can do no wrong, that no HSR route can be a bad decision, and likely even defend china on the genocide and concentration camps of Uyghurs.
    3
  444.  @sreejithsubhash7301  $1 trillion doesn’t just disappear. It’s actually cost. You think if the US or UK government doesn’t pay $1 trillion to a business they hired for rail work it just magically disappears? Someone isn’t getting paid and their suppliers aren’t getting paid. It’s cost to society whether the government pays or people of the country pay.

  445.  @saumyacow4435  "You've pointed at what has gone wrong with a lot of high speed rail projects the world over." Except China is the only one with about $1 trillion in debt and RAPIDLY climbing from HSR. There are many routes of the HSR that were costly and have little demand. "Meanwhile we forget that wider social and economic benefit". HSR is for the rich or upper middle class in China and it's a convenience. STFU pretending this is some normal service for the whole population. Let me guess -- you also support China's genocide against Uyghurs?

  446. Great point. China has been the biggest failure. They were given favorable trade rights through the wto with the belief that they would improve human rights and maybe even become a democracy. We saw such changes with South Korea and Taiwan as well as Japan earlier so there was reason to believe it would work. But China decided to go backwards on human rights and is now slowly becoming a dictatorship.

  450.  @wothin  lol, you said you weren’t downplaying the concentration camps and yet you repeatedly did. I quoted you 4 times where downplayed it — complaining that people are using the term “concentration camps” on purpose to evoke nazi camps. You lied that it was only Uighurs and tried to suggest it was just extremist. You brought up people living in Yemen have it worse. You mentioned that camps are “basically prions”. . Etc. Are denying that you said the statements I literally quoted from your own comments?!

  451.  @wothin  also, why are you saying “China only majorly discrimines against ughurs”? It’s all Muslims in Xinjiang. Uyghurs are the majority but if your Kazak or Uzbek or even hui in Xinjiang you are discriminated against. Bro, you are a dishonest POS trying to downplay what China is doing. You consistently say it’s only those “too religious” and basically just Uighurs when it’s all Muslims in Xinjiang and it’s for anyone that is essentially just practicing Islam.

  454.  @wothin  yes I know what downplaying is. It’s when someone take every opportunity to make something not look as big of a deal as it is. Are you say saying you didn’t complain about about people calling them “concentration camps”?!? Why are you lying — you literally complained about the term even though it’s literally what it is. Seriously, you going to deny that you said: 1. “I mean I know those things are buzzwords for you people, where you can act outraged and stuff,” 2. “And while people like to use the terms concentration camps and genocide, most likely to create a connection to nazi Germany to gather more outrage” Stop being a dishonest POS liar and saying you didn’t complain about people using “concentration camps” when they literally are concentration camps

  455.  @CN_SFY_General  migrant workers don’t make $1k-$1.6k per month. They make $2/hr so that’s at most $500/mo. WTF do you think migrant workers are getting $12k-$20k per year if that’s higher than the median average for the country?

  458.  @dgcu-t96  "And I'm pretty sure neither China or Russia started any war in 21th century." First, you already proved yourself ignorant by saying "no nuclear country has fought another nuclear country" but then said the US would invade China. Second, Russia has started wars in 21st century - Russo-Georgian War and they are also behind the eastern Ukraine fighting using their private army 'wagner group'.

  460.  @user-Cata7sti7ma7  are you seriously arguing that North Korea with mass starvations, labor camps, extreme poverty, etc are better than Japan or South Korea and Taiwan? Tankie, which country has the highest suicide rate? If only we knew what the suicide rate of North Korea actually is. You probably thinking of Japan but Japan has similar suicide rates as U, Australia, Canada, Norway and Sweden

  462.  @user-Cata7sti7ma7  that’s dumb. That’s not an answer. How does a poor country exploit another poor country for its cheap labor? South Korea was among the poorest in the world in the 70’s now among the richest. China was maybe the poorest in the world (top 5 for sure) in the 70’s and now middle income. How did they get rich exploiting other poor nations labor? It was their own labor that brought them out of poverty. Do you honestly believe your ignorant lies?

  463.  @SdoubleA  first, it would likely cost less than $10/day for Uber if one ride per day on a driverless car. You don’t have to pay for the driver and his associated costs and the car could be working 24hrs per day. Second, costs is much more than $300 a month. $300 a month is your average monthly payment for the loan. Then you have $100/mo for insurance and then $100-$200/month for gas plus repairs.

  464.  @MeiinUK  "HK is supposed to be allowed to be themselves. The people who rant to live in HK were maybe the relatives of the people who were Cantonese or the nearby towns anyway." Yes, they were supposed to be autonomous but Xi didn't want that. On the 2nd sentence, I just looked it up... from 2010-2019 there were 400,000 people that moved from mainland to HK on 'one way permit' and 11,000 per YEAR came on visa programms such as professionals and students but not sure how many of those 110,000 (11k x 10yrs) stayed. Either way, looks like 400-500k came from mainland just in the 2010's. If they kept same pace, its probably 500k-600k from 2010-2022. I believe over 500k left the country during that time so that's a 1 million swing on likely "pro ccp" vs anti ccp. There are 7.4m people in HK and if 5m were anti ccp in 2010 vs 2.4m pro ccp, it would now be 4.4m to 3m. Just using random numbers to illustrate the huge swing. And that's just from 2010. Many more came 90's and 00's.

  473. @agapp11able btw, the foreign policy article didn’t say genocide isn’t happening. I feel fact it’s said the government does think it’s happening but that it’s extremely difficult to prove in court since genocide must include the intent to destroy in part or whole a group. It’s hard to prove intent unless the accused (China) admits it.

  474.  @coyote4326  fyi,, the foreign policy article the wumao mentioned didn’t say genocide isn’t happening.

It’s hard to prove intent unless the accused (China) admits it.

  475.  @coyote4326  They (wumaos) always point to the Foreign Policy article and they purposely mispresent it. They say "US said there is no genocide" when the article literally discusses how the US thinks there is genocide but it's hard to convict in court due to the 'intent' part. Yes, we need to stand hard against these wumaos.

  478. @agapp11able - the State Council has asked all governments to ensure that their railway debts should be within a “rational range” by 2035. In September 2020, CRC’s quantum of debt rose to RMB 5.57 trillion (US $850 billion) – up from RMB 5.28 trillion as of September 2019, catapulting its debt-to-asset ratio to 65.8 percent. - Within just three days of the guidelines being released, Beijing stopped work on two HSR projects worth over RMB 130 billion (US $20 billion) in Shandong and Shaanxi provinces. Shandong’s 270-kilometre line had sought to connect its capital Jinan with its southern city of Zaozhuang. Shandong was also ordered to stop work on the RMB 71.6 billion Guanzhong Chengji project, which consists of 13 lines in Northwest China’s Shaanxi. - The increased heat on the debt-riddled operators has also dented the bottom lines of the investment banks and the shareholders of China’s Railway Development Fund (RDF). As bond yields nosedived and profits crashed, the CRC has decided to liquidate RDF nine years early to avoid paying dividends to the investors.

  479. @agapp11able - Most new HSR lines in China have witnessed a sharp decline in their “transportation density”. Measured in passenger-kilometres, it is an indicator that projects the line’s operating efficiency in terms of annual average transport volume per kilometre. For example, while the 1,318-kilometre Beijing-Shanghai HSR corridor’s transportation density was 48 million passenger-kilometres in 2015 and continues to be high, the 1,776-kilometre Lanzhou-Urumqi line has only 2.3 million passenger-kilometres of transportation density. China’s overall transportation density of HSR was 17 million passenger-kilometres in 2015, while it was 34 million passenger-kilometres for Japan’s Shinkansen in the same year. - - The craze for HSR has made China neglect the construction of conventional systems, adversely affecting the balance of the country’s logistics mix. As a result, rail has consistently trailed road and water freight transport for the past several years. This has led to growing investments in polluting freight road trucks and trailers, offsetting the environmental gains resulting from HSR. - In the past few years, mega borrowings by provincial governments to monetise its HSR lines have created a debt trap, which is now pinching the coffers of the state-owned CRC. CRC’s financial woes started nearly four years ago when more than 60 percent of the HSR operators each lost a minimum of US $100 million in 2018. That year, the least profitable operator in Chengdu reported net loss of US $1.8 billion. In the same year, transport economists in China had predicted an impending debt crisis for the country’s HSR that was dependent on “unsustainable government subsidies with many lines incapable of repaying the interest on their debt, let alone principal”, and were caught in a vicious cycle of “raising new debt to pay off old debt”. Consequently, since 2015, CRC’s interest payments have been significantly higher than its operating profits, shrinking its bottom line.

  480. @agapp11able you can see the concentration camps In Poland because they aren’t an extremely authoritarian and oppressive regime that would hide concentration camps in 2022. Poland does not control all news and information in their country like China does. I really appreciate you bringing up Germany and Poland to show how disgusting China is. Other countries don’t hide their concentration camps today l.

  485. @agapp11able I’m sorry, you asked what’s my point when you just acknowledged they do in fact have fiscal issues with HSR? My whole point was that China can make mistakes and they have made a big one by building way too many of the most expensive HSR routes. Some are profitable and a few others lose a little money but are still worth it. However, a significant number HSR made no sense but China built them because they wanted to brag and pretend to the world they are better than everyone else.

  486. @agapp11able you are denying them because you haven’t seen evidence they exist? But I pointed you evidence and you ignored it. And you HAVE REFUSED TO FOLLOW YOUR LOGIC AND GO TO XINJIANG AND VISIT ALL THE CAMPS IDENTIFIED BY ASPI. You are in no position to deny (using your own logic). You should only stay out of this (using your own logic) until you actually go to Xinjiang and visit the sites.

  488. @agapp11able lol, so China isn’t oppressive when they have concentration camps going on? Or when they execute thousands a year? Of when they remove many rights in Hong Kong? You’re quotes are also from a study that was mostly from the 2000’s when Chinas economy was growing 10-12% and people were in love with their country. Today, growth is around 6-7%. And Xi has gone backwards on human rights and individual rights. I guess North Korea isn’t oppressive considering most North Koreans support their government? Every single defector has said that most people in North Korea support and like their leader.

  491.  @zer0hero95  do I think 380 facilities can hold 2 million people at different times over 4 years? That’s 500,000 per year if they are in there one year. That’s 1,300 per facility. Do you believe no facility can hold 1,300 people at a time?!

  492. @agapp11able - Uyghurs are being detained in camps and prisons - Media outlets and researchers have used satellite images to map the Chinese government's network of camps and prisons. Experts with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute have identified at least 380 detention facilities in Xinjiang that have been newly built or expanded since 2017. Some estimates put the number of detention facilities as high as 1,400. - The human rights group Amnesty International estimates at least 1 million Uyghurs have been "arbitrarily detained" in these facilities for what China calls its "transformation-through-education” effort in Xinjiang. - The report, based on interviews with former detainees and other evidence, concluded China bears responsibility "for an ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs" and has breached key elements of the 1948 Genocide Convention with its "intent to destroy" an entire ethnic group.

  496.  @zer0hero95  "So tell me how they determine a building is a factory or concentration camp or a school from a top view using Google earth!" They use images from satellite as well as evidence on the ground. The satellite images show that these were built in the past couple years and had walls and watch towers added that are typical of detention facilities. They then use testimony from uyghurs from that area to verify further. Not a coincidence that when journalist go visit to Xinjiang and try to get near the ASPI identified facilities, they are almost always blocked.
    2
  497. ​@agapp11able WUMAO, ASPI has a great article on how China often tries to lie and use propaganda videos which wumaos like you then use to say "see, no detention facility of Uyghurs!" - Last month, Global Times editor Hu Xijin visited what he referred to as a ‘vocational training center’ in Kashgar. He posted a two-minute video of the trip on his Twitter account - But by July 2017, when construction was complete, every ‘school’ building in the southwest of the facility (previously Middle School No. 5) was surrounded by tall fencing that had been painted green and topped with razor wire. By August, much of School No. 6 was enclosed with similar fencing. Upon completion in around November 2017, School No. 4 was also highly securitised and a tender was released calling for bidders to oversee and install new equipment, including a new surveillance camera system - The video posted by Hu Xijin of Middle School No. 4 on 24 October shows detainees dancing and playing table-tennis and basketball. However, this visit—and the footage shared on social media—may not reflect the regular daily experiences of the detainees. - Through satellite and imagery analysis—including imagery updated daily—we can determine that these courts are coloured mats that are recent additions to the camp. The mats were placed on a concrete-covered area that is normally bare and appears inaccessible to detainees. - Across 25 satellite images between August 2017 and August 2018, which show the facility since its construction, not a single image featured these outdoor courts. But these coloured mats do appear in satellite imagery available from 10 October. Global Times editor Hu Xijin posted about his visit to these facilities on Twitter and Weibo on 24 October

  498. @agapp11able "and my logic is that if ASPI lied then it cant be trusted." Well, that's a horribly applied logic because you trust that CCP tells you. And most importantly, ASPI rates these facilities as 'likely' or 'confirmed'. So you would need to show more than a couple where they got it wrong to suggest that most or all of the 380 are wrong. You have also shown your dishonesty by saying they must be wrong on that one facility because apartments are nearby even though there is literally video of other facilities that have been confirmed and even visited by journalist that are near apartments.

  500. @agapp11able " It doesn’t matter if it’s a “CCP source”. What matters is they were on the ground and showed the “facility” that ASPI claimed was a detention center was a school" So you're saying that you blindly belive the CCP and if they said it, it must be true. If they say the classroom they showed is inside the facility -- it must be true. Even though the classroom video didn't show the views outside to confirm it was the same facility. And you are unable to find lots of videos from other days of this school? But you believe it is so because the CCp said so?

  501. @agapp11able "You still refuse to provide a source that says the ughyurs in “detention centres” aren’t actually convicted felons' NYT has an article discussing exactly what they are targeting for the camps.

You pointed to the Pichan Facility #4 and said that it's not a detenton facility simply for being near apartments even though the CCP has allowed BBC to visit a low security camp and it was near apartment buildings. In the same video, the bbc attempted to go to another facility in town which was also near apartments but the CCP officials kicked out the BBC from the area and stopped them from filming. 4. ASPI said they identified 380+ very likely facilities. You have only been able to directly point to one and your assumptions on it are wrong (see #3) but yet even if that wasn't a camp, you believe that if you find one facility they were wrong with it means they are wrong with all the remaining 380ish. ASPI has two ratings – ‘likely’ and ‘confirmed’. Even if one or two are wrong, it does not mean that most of the rest are wrong. If they were, why don’t you have evidence on all 380 but instead try to claim about 3 or 4 are wrong? 5. . Asked to make major criticism of the CCP that the CCP hasn’t already acknowledged --- All you did was say “they banned private tutors and healthcare isn’t universal”. You are unable to Give a serious criticism 6. Lied that I said that all 12 million Muslims in Xinjiang were sent to the camps.

The CCP video also included ‘evidence’ from CCP employee Einar Tangen - Economic and Political Affairs Commentator CCTV, CGTN, CRI, China.org.cn, Xinhua. 12. You said that Marlabashi Detention center no 1 was in fact a school. Because the Chinese state media source you used cut to a classroom that could be located anywhere. If it was just a school, there would be tons of videos of the school being a school. Kids getting out of class, playing inside those walls, etc. But you won’t provide any such video and just belive the CCP when they say the classroom they showed was indeed inside the facility.

Yet BBC have visited a camp that was near apartments. And they tried to get near anotehr camp that was near apartments but where kicked away by the CCP police. So basically, you have lied that the apartments nearby is evidence that it's not part of the camps. marlabashi evidnece you provided was the CCP state media simply saying it isn't true. I didn't see anything from you on Karlig - You have not provided a means of bypassing spam filters on YouTube so that’s on you to research You can break up the web address or just give me the title of the article or something easy to google and find. - You have not provided any meaningful criticisms of the US Actually I did.

You said that Marlabashi Detention center no 1 was in fact a school. Because the Chinese state media source you used cut to a classroom that could be located anywhere. If it was just a school, there would be tons of videos of the school being a school. Kids getting out of class, playing inside those walls, etc. But you won’t provide any such video and just belive the CCP when they say the classroom they showed was indeed inside the facility.

  511. @agapp11able " you said to send you broken up links. I sent you an archive org link showing primary documents with cia ties to a,nasty international. Why do you keep ignoring it?" Just tell me the name of the website the keywords to goolge. You keep refusing to do so on everything because you are a liar and/or your sources always are CCP itself.

  512. @agapp11able Just tell me the keywords and the webpage name where I can find the CIA started Amnesty international and do the same for your "pitchan facility being exposed as a school with a video on twitter.". That's the same Pichan Facility #4 that you said isn't a detention faclity because apartments where nearby as if that is evidence considering BBC visited a facility with apartments nearby. Then point out where I said 12 million Muslims were sent to camps.

  513. @agapp11able WUMAO, ASPI has a great article on how China often tries to lie and use propaganda videos which wumaos like you then use to say "see, no detention facility of Uyghurs!" - Last month, Global Times editor Hu Xijin visited what he referred to as a ‘vocational training center’ in Kashgar. He posted a two-minute video of the trip on his Twitter account - But by July 2017, when construction was complete, every ‘school’ building in the southwest of the facility (previously Middle School No. 5) was surrounded by tall fencing that had been painted green and topped with razor wire. By August, much of School No. 6 was enclosed with similar fencing. Upon completion in around November 2017, School No. 4 was also highly securitised and a tender was released calling for bidders to oversee and install new equipment, including a new surveillance camera system - The video posted by Hu Xijin of Middle School No. 4 on 24 October shows detainees dancing and playing table-tennis and basketball. However, this visit—and the footage shared on social media—may not reflect the regular daily experiences of the detainees. - Through satellite and imagery analysis—including imagery updated daily—we can determine that these courts are coloured mats that are recent additions to the camp. The mats were placed on a concrete-covered area that is normally bare and appears inaccessible to detainees. - Across 25 satellite images between August 2017 and August 2018, which show the facility since its construction, not a single image featured these outdoor courts. But these coloured mats do appear in satellite imagery available from 10 October. Global Times editor Hu Xijin posted about his visit to these facilities on Twitter and Weibo on 24 October - Across 25 satellite images between August 2017 and August 2018, which show the facility since its construction, not a single image featured these outdoor courts.

  514.  @zer0hero95  bro, your source that cnn lied is Chinese state propaganda news? What’s a coincidence that the other wumao agapp11able also used Chinese state media as a source. You people don’t even hide the fact your Wumaos
    2
  515. @agapp11able So wumao, tell me again how your wumao Chengxin Pan is right on Kashgar Facility #4 when the facility has large prison walls around it? - " The Kagarlik Facility #2 that ASPI claims is a detention center being a school was exposed by twitter user "AsianBogan (asian_bogan)"" Another wumao account? His whole account is shilling for the CCP. And what does he do? he links some propoganda video of adults dancing on what's supposed to be a middle school? In the video I see a huge compound with many buildings -- since when do middle schools have enough for 10,000 students? ANALYSIS : A Tier 2 re-education facility in Kargilik, Kashgar with an external wall. Since it was completed, watchtowers were removed.. - "Pinchan Facilty #4" Just tell me the keywords and the webpage name where I can find the CIA started Amnesty international and do the same for your "pitchan facility being exposed as a school with a video on twitter.". That's the same Pichan Facility #4 that you said isn't a detention facility because apartments where nearby as if that is evidence considering BBC visited a facility with apartments nearby.

  516. @agapp11able Basically, these are the points: 1. You only trust the CCP and will not accept anything from any western country be it an humanitarian organization or legit news org. However, you will accept anything that is from China or supports China. 2.. Aspi identified likely camps and you said they are just schools and drug rehab facilities. You have refused to actually provide a source.. You just consistently saying there are didn’t make it true. Give a source 3. You pointed to the Pichan Facility #4 and said that it's not a detention facility simply for being near apartments even though the CCP has allowed BBC to visit a low security camp and it was near apartment buildings. In the same video, the bbc attempted to go to another facility in town which was also near apartments but the CCP officials kicked out the BBC from the area and stopped them from filming. 4. ASPI said they identified 380+ very likely facilities. You have only been able to directly point to one and your assumptions on it are wrong (see #3) but yet even if that wasn't a camp, you believe that if you find one facility they were wrong with it means they are wrong with all the remaining 380ish. ASPI has two ratings – ‘likely’ and ‘confirmed’. Even if one or two are wrong, it does not mean that most of the rest are wrong. If they were, why don’t you have evidence on all 380 but instead try to claim about 3 or 4 are wrong? 5. . Asked to make major criticism of the CCP that the CCP hasn’t already acknowledged --- All you did was say “they banned private tutors and healthcare isn’t universal”. You are unable to Give a serious criticism 6. Lied that I said that all 12 million Muslims in Xinjiang were sent to the camps. Me saying 12 million Muslims in Xinjiang doesn’t mean I’m saying all 12 million are or were in camps. 7. Said that Corporations never lie that they use forced labor or sweat shop labor and also argued that since Skechers said their two facilities in China didn't have forced labor, it means China doesn't have any forced labor. 8. Lied and that ASPI had said that there are two million in the camps at this exact moment. Unable to provide a source. 9. Lied that Amnesty International with funded by the CIA with CIA money. It was actually founded by Peter Benenson and Eric Baker and it does not accept donations from governments or governmental organizations. 10. Lied that ASPI funding from Australian governments is only 37%. 11. You literally used CCP 100% controlled news as your sources while you reject anything from the west for whatever reason you can think of. The CCP video also included ‘evidence’ from CCP employee Einar Tangen - Economic and Political Affairs Commentator CCTV, CGTN, CRI, China.org.cn, Xinhua. 12. You said that Marlabashi Detention center no 1 was in fact a school. Because the Chinese state media source you used cut to a classroom that could be located anywhere. If it was just a school, there would be tons of videos of the school being a school. Kids getting out of class, playing inside those walls, etc. But you won’t provide any such video and just belive the CCP when they say the classroom they showed was indeed inside the facility.

  517. @agapp11able what time stamp in the video can you see clearly outside the classroom enough to verify it’s the same facility? All I see is blurry outside with no clear buildings to indicate it’s the same building. Wumao, why did you lie?
    2
  518. @agapp11able wumao, at 2:04 you have the only view of the windows. It’s so bright you cannot see outside. There is a rough outline of a building in the distance. Can you confirm that is the same building that ASPI identified? If not, you proved your are a wumao that just blindly accepts the CCP word.
    2
  519. @agapp11able what ultimatum post? You left me a dozen comments and I addressed so many of them of while you refused to do the same.
    2
  520. @agapp11able You answer that one simple question, I'll answer the remainider of your questions -- I had already answered 2/3 of them. I'll answer the reaminder if you can ansewr the question: Q: ASPI actually gives you evidence of China's propaganda videos where they re-arrange a one of these facilities so they can film a propaganda video. ARE YOU DENYING THAT CHINA DOESN'T MAKE PROPOGANDA VIDEOS? If you are denying it, explain how the evidence presented by ASPI is not good evidence.
    2
  521.  @bartsimpson1161  aspi is 70% funded by Australian government and 80% funded by Australia plus private individuals non-defense. They also make all their data public. On the other hand, the people im debating are using CCP sources. Why are you against Australian funded sources but defending sources literally run for the purpose of propaganda of the accused? Huh, agapp11able?
    2
  522. @agapp11able no problem. You need all that nutrition and energy to keep with your shillings and lies. It’s already proven you are one — no reasonable person would DEMAND answers to 20 different questions before possibly (but probably not) answering one question. Chicken thighs make for good meal prep IMO.
    2
  523.  @fentoyal  I’ve been to China many times wumao. I’ve been on a few different trains including HSR and regular. That doesn’t change the fact that CCP has a massive debt problem from HSR that is rapidly rising. Almost a trillion and growing fast. As for genocide in Xinjiang, no surprise a wumao would deny it. You think Uighurs are volunteering in the millions to attend these schools? Or what have you been told to say?
    2
  524.  @fentoyal  also, you speak about western media — are you aware your own media in China is fully controlled by the government? So how do you know China doesn’t have concentration camps and not committing genocide?
    2
  525.  @fentoyal  some debt is no problem — a lot of Debt is a problem. You seem to be under the assumption that the CCP can do no wrong or that that there is no such thing as a bad HSR route. Why is that? Quick litmus test: are you okay with concentration camps and cultural genocide in Xinjiang? I can tell you follow Nathan Rich who is a paid CCP shill so that tells me a lot.
    2
  526. @agapp11able Only a Wumaos would say “the deal” to something you made up. Here it Goes: the deal is you answer the one question or you are confirming you are a Wumao. It’s a deal since I said so.
    2
  527.  @fentoyal  also, Wumao, when did the US bomb their Muslim citizens? Or are you saying you are a bigot and don’t think Uyghurs are Chinese citizens?
    2
  528.  @weiner392  funny, the other guy has multiple responses to the same comment I make and it’s always “CCP media is acceptable but not western media”. Really says a lot about you. Are you also a wumao? Yes you are — no way you see the conversation and think “yeah, I’m going to defend the CCP shill and criticize the guy who is anti ccp” You want to also say that the CCP doesn’t have any concentration camps? You also want to say the CCP didn’t do anything bad in 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre? That’s what agapp11able is doing and you came go his defense
    2
  529.  @weiner392  I've noticed you didn't refute the ASPI evidence that China stages some propaganda vides of the detention facilities. Huh, you're just like the other wumao -- full of BS.
    2
  530.  @weiner392  Disregarded eveyrthing you said? You have refused to admit that the CCP has staged videos or refused to show how the ASPI article detailing staged videos was wrong. That is EXTREMLY critical to this discussion and it's exactly why you and the other wumao refuse to answer it.
    2
  531.  @weiner392  Disregarded everything you said? You have refused to admit that the CCP has staged videos or refused to show how the ASPI article detailing staged videos was wrong. That is EXTREMLY critical to this discussion and it's exactly why you and the other wumao refuse to answer it.
    2
  532. @agapp11able yeah, you suspect I’m a bit because you literally repeat CCP talking points and aren’t able to criticize the CCP? And because you never were able to give details how aspi was wrong when they documented how the CCP stages propaganda videos of the the camps? Lol.l, good one Wumao.

  533.  @Bk6346  you .50 RMB 🤖?

  534.  @Bk6346  are you allowed to acknowledge the gèn îde in Xinjiang?

  535.  @Bk6346  look at that…supporting gen ide because a handful out if 12 million committed terrorism
    2
  536.  @Bk6346  still looking up the UN definition for Gen ..îde?
    2
  537.  @astroch  nah, most of his videos detailed with facts. Sure, it still to tell a story or whatever but they usually offer facts and info I wasn’t aware of. This was like an intro level video for someone who knows zero about the topic…but had too much opinion
    2
  538. That sounds very rácîst towards Ukrainians
    2
  539.  @annamav9700  good point. He did imply that
    2
  540.  @saumyacow4435  you mean the CCP has built some of these lines as part of a genocide of Xinjiang Muslims? Send the Muslims to concentration camps and use HSR to bring in as many Han to drown out the voices of the Uighurs?
    2
  541.  @hedgehog3180  yes, thank you for agreeing there are sinister motivations for some of the HSR routes in China
    2
  542.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  also, while u support camps in western China, U also seem to support the death of 3,000 by their own government that forever made it impossible to protest against the government. Wow
    2
  543.  @wei270  breaking what law?? It’s the PRC that broke the law getting rid of the government by force if ur going with that logic
    2
  544.  @wei270  " man look at how many people died in the protest they do infiltrate" Which? Very vague. This is standard protocol for the Beijing agents. Blame it all on others to defend very limited rights.
    2
  545.  @wei270  why trust exactly what the govt says when it côntròl all info in the country?
    2
  546.  @wei270  "and why would you keep bring protest up," the point is it is evidence of ur support for everything horrible Beijing has done. " i don't trust beijing" Except all ur positions match Beijing.
    2
  547.  @wei270  u r in agreement with Beijing on what's happening in western part of the country to Muslms -- on Taiwan -- on South China Sea -- on cracking down back in 1989 - etc.
    2
  548.  @一片祥和台上台下  who mentioned massacres In Xinjiang? So the only way to defend ur china here is by creating strawman?

  549.  @一片祥和台上台下  Winnie the Pooh, Duh.
    2
  550.  @deebil8099  "The problem is that China would have no choice but to invade if Taiwan declared independence." Only because China CONTINUES to threaten to invade Taiwan to 'unify'. So the problem is China itself. It's like someone threatening to beat you up if they see you at the town's grocery store. You aren't doing anything bad but the bully will keep threatning you because they are bully. What I don't know is if you are defending the Bully or just pointing out that the Bully is at fault and may have to follow up on their threats because bullies can't take anything back.
    2
  551.  @cowboydoggo6168  “oppressive is subjective”. Yeah, only someone with IQ under 50 would say it’s not being oppressed. “HK is Chinese territory”. Doesn’t mean it’s not oppressed and doesn’t mean it china didn’t violate the agreement they signed when HK was handed over The US drones would be highly effective against China. China doesn’t have the US military
    2
  552.  @cowboydoggo6168  are you a Wvumao? You want to say that China doesn’t committing g8nocide of Uyghurs?
    2
  553.  @cowboydoggo6168  what do you mean “our versions of oppressions are different”? Who is “our”? And how does it compare to China? “Who says the US would never intervene in a war?” Uh, Biden? Plus many other presidents have suggested it but kept it ambiguous so not to anger China
    2
  554.  @cowboydoggo6168  “while I don’t believe it’s g8nocide” even though it literally fits the UN definition. Of course you won’t think it’s a g8nocide. And course you don’t think Tibet is being oppressed. And you’re still repeating CCP talking points. Why won’t you admit that Taiwan isn’t recognized as a country in the UN out of fear of upsetting China? You keep suggesting the reason has nothing to do with that. Along the same Point, why won’t you acknowledge that Japan and the US have to be careful in saying they will defend Taiwan out of fear of angering china? “Biden has zero proper legal basis to intervene”….what legal basis? Who does Biden or the US need approval from??
    2
  555.  @yijunli1102  yes, you are not allowed to speak the truth in China so therefore you have to defend everything about your government. Gun violence is almost purely in the poor neighborhood so I don’t have to worry about gun violence either.
    2
  556.  @cowboydoggo6168  In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: 1. Killing members of the group; 2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; 3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; 4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; 5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
    2
  557.  @cowboydoggo6168  the UN recognized PRC as “the China” but please point out where says ROC is rebel nation or that that Taiwan belongs to PRC. If you can’t point out where the UN says that, then you are repeating CCP talking points like the Wvumao you are
    2
  558.  @cowboydoggo6168  please also point out where the UN forbids coming to the defense of Taiwan. Go ahead. And point out where the US and Japan say Taiwan is part of PRC. Go ahead Vumao

  559.  @sophisticatedthumb5364  tánkies, at least in the US I can say and do what I want. Chïna is one of the most totalitarian regimes running cöncéntrátion camps. You can’t really speak out against the leader _ so I’d rather have rich people influencing politics than the rich people actually controlling not only the party but your life and what you can and cannot say.
    2
  560.  @sophisticatedthumb5364  Curtis Jackson, are you denying the totalitarianism in Chîna? The govt controls all news and information there. They execute thousands per year. They have côncénctration camps. How is this not totalitarianism?

  561. China is dangerous and increasingly so when all the power is concentrated in one person who wants to be the new Mao or a Stalin. This is bad for the world and for the people of china. Chinas economy is having trouble, Xi is increasingly passing more authoritarian and oppressive policies, Xi has camps of Uyghurs, he broke the agreement on Hong Kong, and he’s increasing his threats to take Taiwan by force. Nothing will stop him except a heart attack because he eliminated his opposition.

  562.  @florist1949 I think u are the type the in Beijing that goes online to defend China and pretend ughurs are treated well
    2
  563. Summary: China built profitable lines early but then they just kept building and building HSR to show off to the world. They built many HSR that didn’t make sense and could have been served with the less expensive regular rail that would have cheaper tickets and function as freight rail as well. Add in corruption and you end up with HSR in hundreds of billions in debt.

  565. They die on average by age 55.

  566. Long story short, China is basically buying diplomatic support so those nations and others who want to do business with China stay quiet or defend china on Xinjiang concentration camps, Hong Kong oppression, their attempts to steal the South China Sea from its neighbors with fake islands they build, and potentially an invasion Or attack on Taiwan.

  567.  @fahadahaf  > He is not talking about chinese government's figures The IMF literally uses China’s government figures. > You are looking at Nominal GDP, which is a different statistic than PPP This depends on what part of my argument you are referring to. Nominal GDP is all that matters in terms of trade related discussions. PPP matters if you’re talking about domestic. So let’s say a there are two countries and one of them has a GDP of $10 (PPP of $8) and the other $5 (PPP of $9). If say some product like oil costs $1, it cost $1 to everyone and the first country can buy 10 units of oil and the second can buy 5 units of oil. PPP doesn’t matter much in discussions about trade. I feel bad for the education system of where Fahad Hossain is from.
    2
  568.  @arbjful  Fahad left me a comment that doesn't show but it was the most uneducated response I've seen.
    2
  569.  @fahadahaf  "I couldn't find any official IMF source that says this, but I'll take your word for it." There are literally many research reports and investigations in to this. Before I read the rest, this already tells me you have ignored facts your whole life when it comes to China. "Your original argument was about the US being the biggest consumer market, unless you are going to argue that GDP is a measure of how big a consumer market is; I really don't know why you are explaining PPP to me" I didn't bring up PPP. I was explaining to someone else why PPP doesn't mean much when it comes to international trade. >Consumption Markets are usually compared using HFCE, which uses nominal figures that don't account for differing prices. Adjusting for PPP, China is the biggest consumer market. And there it goes again. Not able to understand PPP. PPP is only good for domestic comparisons. When it comes to trade, oil at $80 a barrel will sell at $80 to everyone. Doesn't matter what your PPP is, you will have to pay $80. Is this something Fahad can understand? PPP comes into play more regarding domestic services and domestic manufacturing but not international trade. ELY5 (explain it like you're), lets say $1 = 10 yuan. 10 yuan can get you say 1 hour massage in China but $1 in the US gets you 5 minutes. That's where PPP is demonstrating that $1 worth of yuan goes farther than $1 in the US. But that consumer be it individual or business has to buy oil or some other good / resource, the price is the same for everyone. $1 worth of yuan gets you $1 worth of international goods. And since we are talking about consumer market for foreign goods & services, PPP has no place in such a discussion.

  571.  @sunhuatom  you know you don’t NEED high speed rail everywhere, right? Connecting small cities doesn’t make sense. The point of HSR to have few stops so you arrive quicker
    2
  572.  @sunhuatom  “better than spending money on waging wars” is such a CCP shill response. Lol, now it makes sense why you subscribe to CCP shills on YouTube Notice how you can’t even acknowledge The on concentration camps in Xinjiang or the CCP killing large number of protesters in 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre

    2
  579.  fastrally  yeah, all that’s happening to Uyghurs is they have their families torn apart, sent to conc camps, br@1nwashed, and t0rtured. Nothing bad, right? Oh, and 2/3 of their mosques are destroyed or damaged in a few short years. How much is Beijing paying these days?

  589. Just so everyone knows, this is a wumao. He defends China on concentration camps and genocide in 2021 by saying “but Germany 1942!” And he blames the protesters for CCP killing thousands of protesters in 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre
    2
  590.  @yulusleonard985  wumao still trying to defend his shilling. You just argued that all the bad China does is okay because China is communist and it’s expected. Before you put it Google translate, did you think out your reply? “Chinas bad okay because it’s communist”
    2
  591.  @yulusleonard985  if russia wants to reopen gulag, that’s also bad and should be condemned just like Chinas concentration camps in Xinjiang. I’m not surprised since Putin is not much different than Xi

  592.  @yulusleonard985  I don’t care for excuses for Russia. Not sure why you bring it up.
    2
  593.  @yulusleonard985  all you’re saying that what China does might be bad but it’s oKay since they are communist. You blamed the protesters for CCP killing thousands in Tiananmen Square massacre and you defend china on its concentration camps of Muslims. But hey, it’s all good, they are communist so it’s ok.
    2
  594.  @yulusleonard985  I don’t know why that makes it okay for you to defend China government for killing thousands of protesters and for concentration camps of Muslims? If it’s bad, it’s bad and just say it. But why say it protesters fault and say Chinas government doesn’t have concentration camps (or defend those camps)?
    2
  595.  @yulusleonard985  wumao, so because China is communist that’s why you just take their side on Tiananmen Square massacre and the concentration camps of Muslims? You’re Admitting you’re a wumao.
    2
  596.  @yulusleonard985  oh, so you’re saying that Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan would have concentration campa if they had Muslims? Why, just because their Asians like China and you think all Asian have horrible morals like the CCP? Remind me again — is there free speech and free press in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan? Is there in China? It seems to me that Taiwan, South Korea and Japan have far better personal rights than China. Remind me again of anytime in the past 35 years that any of those three nations killed thousands of protesters? Remind me again when any of those 3 were selling the organs of a non Muslim persecuted group that were sent to camps (Falun Gong)?

  597.  @yulusleonard985  wumao, you’re saying that those 3 nations (Sk, Japan, Taiwan) have the same restrictions on speech and press and rights as China? Is that really what you’re saying? Because China executes thousands a year while those 3 nations execute maybe a dozen. Those 3 have press that criticize the government but China doesn’t. Those 3 don’t control all information like China. So how again are they basically the same?
    2
  598.  @yulusleonard985  “selling organs already stopped under Xi” “basically Jiang Zemin reign is all about being comically evil”. Comically Evil like concentration camps and genocide of Muslims in Xinjiang? Or like oppressing Hong Kong? Or like building fake island in south China sea, putting military in it, then attempting to steal south sea by force? Or what about the increased threats to invade peaceful Taiwan? How’s that for knowledge of eastern politics? Wumao, what’s you’re favorite VPN to get around the great firewall?
    2
  599.  @yulusleonard985  you’re defense for china executing thousands a year why the other 3 only execute a handful is “related with political climate”? So you’re saying Chinas government is the type that would execute thousands of people for political reasons while the 3 neighbors aren’t? Wumao, did you think that helped your argument by literally making my point?
    2
  600.  @yulusleonard985  wumao, protest in China are common so long as it’s not a threat to CCP and especially dictator Xi. That’s not actual freedom to protest, lol.
    2
  601.  @yulusleonard985  wumao, this video literally said the reason for these loan/debt risks is to buy partners in UN that would defend them in concentration camps and Chinas attempt to steal south sea but a Wumao only hears “it’s not for debt trap” but is unable to hear “it’s to buy votes in UN on concentration camps and stealing the sea”.
    2
  602.  @yulusleonard985  wumao, you also didn’t answer how the 3 neighbors are just like China on freedoms of speech and press as well as rights. Well, maybe you did when you said Chinas government is the type to kill thousands of citizens for political reasons each year. That would be agreeing with me that China is much worse on rights, speech and press than the 3 neighbors.
    2
  603.  @yulusleonard985  “China has a right to execute thousands of their citizens for political reasons” while you argue that China is like its 3 neighbors who don’t do that and while you argue that China doesn’t have concentration camps. Lol.
    2
  604.  @yulusleonard985  critics of Xi are common on social media yet Xi had to ban Winnie the Pooh on social media when it was about him. Lol. Can you point to me when there was a a large protest in China against Xi? Or the CCP leader? I’ll wait here while you find a response that fully proves you lied when you said Taiwan South Korea and Japan are like China.
    2
  605.  @yulusleonard985  you do know that North Korea invaded South Korea? And I’m not defending South Korea killing communist South Korea 70 years ago but then again, I’m not trying to use that to defend Chinas atrocities today. I agree China is not a free country and I agrees China oppressed Hong Kong. Glad you agree but not sure why you say “deal with it”? That’s a typical response from a horrible person that would defend atrocity. “Millions of Jews killed by Nazis? Deal with it!”
    2
  606.  @yulusleonard985  I don’t know why you’re bringing up the constitution is a contract between citizens and the state when the citizens don’t have a say. Lol, I guess Nazi concentration camps are okay since “rights are a contract between citizens and the state”? You truly are that Evil.
    2
  607.  @yulusleonard985  " New problems arrive over time that require new solution." Yeah, concentration camps and genocide..it's great China brought them back!! "When the heck world became more peaceful?" Statistics literally prove this wumao. "US already made deal with China since Deng era that US will not support Taiwan independence" Why would that mean it's okay for China to invade? Or to threaten? LOL, wumao...your answers are getting sloppy. "South China sea is disputed territory, this happen all the time." Yes, it's disputed -- but why would that mean it's okay for China to take it by force? over and over, it seems you are saying that you support military force to address anything -- typical wumao.
    2
  608.  @yulusleonard985  " Threaten to invade are not equal to invade" So that makes it okay? So if I threaten to kill someone, it's okay? LOL, wumao, what is wrong with you? "And which statistic you are talking about? If you are talking about global peace index China rise from 110 to 100 justify the existence of Xinjiang concentration camp" What? The global peace indexes over time and many other stats such as military conflicts, deaths, number of people in concentration camps, etc have shown the world is getting more and more peaceful -- but China is not wanting such peace. Thus threat to invade a peaceful nation, using a navy to steal the south sea, and concenration camps.

  610. @agapp11able you googled it and couldn’t put a link to your source showing China has the most Us debt and that’s it’s the majority of the US debt? It’s super easy to post a link like below (where it shows Japan has the most Us debt and Chinas percentage o Us debt is a small fraction of total debt. https://www.thebalance.com/who-owns-the-u-s-national-debt-3306124

  612. @agapp11able I noticed you never gave a source that China holds most of the US debt. You like so often. It now makes sense why you used CCP media but then said you won’t trust any sources if it’s a from any other government

  613. @agapp11able "why are we going theough this again?" You're right, you just repeat the same lies. "so what youre saying is that you can use Austrilian State Sponsored media thats been caught in lies" But you didn't show they lied. You showed that the CCP claims 4 out of the 400 are false leaving still 99% that the CCP doesn't even try to discredit. And your source for those 4 facilities included the CCP itself staging videos.
    2
  614. @agapp11able ​ 1. so no source on your lie that China has most of the US debt? 2. No specifics of what ASPI got wrong in their report documenting cccl staging videos? 3. You accept Chinese state media but you refuse to accept ASPI because it’s funded by Australian government? 4. You lied that the aspi report is only words and has not pics/videos 5. You lied that you gave a source on china holding majority of US debt And you are upset people call you a CCP shill? 6. I gave you directed sources supporting that Japan has the most US debt of any country and even then, 2nd place China is just about 3-4% of total US debt. 7. You have argued that ASPI couldn't be trusted because they may have been wrong (your opinion) on 2 facilities out of 400 so they can't be trusted HOWEVER if CCP is wrong on a facility and caught staging videos, they can still be trusted!! And you wonder why people would think you are a CCP shill. LOL. 8. You lied that you gave as a source on the debt ‘Statista’ when I in fact gave you such a source from them and it proved China is 2nd among foreign owned debt and only 3-4% of the total US debt. I gave you the title of the Statista article “Major foreign holders of US treasury” and another source from investopeida while you refuse to provide the title or even quotes from the article. And you wonder why people think you are a CCP shill.

You cite an organization who doesn’t have any credible evidence of genocide and basis their reports of “forced labor” on Italian religious cults" Source there evidence isn't credible? - "You cite an organization named ASPI that actively works to misinterpret reports and outright lies about China" source that ASPI has outright lied about China? - " ASPI uses the amount of search results as “evidence” for the expansion of the “ughyur concentration camps” Source? - " Even Australian senators think that ASPI is an unreliable source on Ughyurs and have said so both on video (seen in the Grayzone article)" I would ask for a source but you mentioned grayzone? That is literally a Russian and CCP propaganda website. Wow.

  627. @agapp11able Oh, there was another person, Bob Carr. He isn't senator but is a left wing retired politician who served as Premier of New South Wales from 1995 to 2005. Funny about that -- The Financial Review of Australia has an article about him titled "How Bob Carr became China's pawn" - In times past, Carr was not known for promoting or defending China's Communist Party (CCP) government. To the contrary, as Clive Hamilton notes, he was at one time publicly critical of Australia's pro-China lobby, and denounced CCP ideology as a "ludicrously outdated notion". All this changed with his appointment to head the Australia China Relations Institute at the University of Technology in Sydney in 2014. Since then he has come to personify the lobby he once attacked, lauding the achievements of Xi Jinping and condemning his critics. - ACRI has provided Carr with the public platform he lost with the end of his brief tenure as foreign minister and again he has a strong media presence. - In China it is unlikely that any program organiser would turn down the opportunity of including Bob Carr. In a country where the UN Declaration counts for little, few can speak their minds, and none are permitted to criticise their own government, Carr's willingness to lambast Australia's government and applaud China's has made him a media darling. If freedom of speech is at issue, then the things Carr says in China deserve to be aired more widely in Australia. Fundamental issues are indeed at stake. - Within Australia Carr is now known for speaking up on Beijing's behalf and talking down criticism of China as a relic of Cold War thinking. There are many possible triggers for this. Examples would be infrastructure purchases, extradition treaties, university issues, political donations, media coverage and allegations of foreign interference, all topics on which Carr has taken to the airwaves or the print media. The pattern is consistent, with Carr denying problems on the Chinese side while simultaneously criticising Australians who see problems, on the other.
    2
  628. @agapp11able continued: - The institutional origins of Carr's China-whatever approach can be found in the history of ACRI. In 2014 a prominent Chinese businessman in Sydney made a significant donation to UTS to establish a new China institute. The same donor subsequently boasted in public that he personally selected Carr to run the operation. Carr emerged as Australia's most prominent and vocal public advocate for Xi Jinping's China. - The new institute was not an everyday university research centre but one with a mission to promote an "unabashedly positive and optimistic view of the Australia-China relationship", in Carr's words. The mission was consistent with Communist Party chief Xi Jinping's command to his propaganda cadres to "tell China's story well". That initial PR move morphed into a party propaganda triumph in November 2015 when Carr met with Propaganda Bureau deputy director Sun Zhijun in Beijing to discuss co-operation on media coverage. In May the following year, Central Propaganda director Liu Qibao visited Sydney to preside over a signing ceremony at which Carr's institute contracted with a party-led agency to work on the Propaganda Bureau's behalf.

  630. @agapp11able "I made a fair deal " A deal with yourself. And how is it fair to have someone answer 20+ questions for you to anser one?? You really like to use CCP tactics. You also used CCP state controlled media as a source while refusing to accept anything even partially funded by a foreign government. You also used Grayzone -- both Grayzone and CCP media have been caught purposely faking news but you can't even show that ASPI purposely faked news -- the best you can do is provide the CCP as a source or some random CCP twitter users posting baidu map which even if true only shows that a couple of the sites were incorrectly labelbed -- not even evidence ASPI faked evidence like the CCP or Grayzone.
    2
  631. @agapp11able "Lol nothing stopped you from asking me 20 questions AFTER you answered mine" So CCP shill request 20+ questions be answered before even accepting one question in return and that's normal behavior? You made it clear that you’re a dishonest POS when you claimed you won’t accept content from that west by using excuses such as “it’s funded in part by the government” yet you literally used the CCP state CONTROLLED media as a source. This already indicates you are a wumao. But furthermore, in addition to CCP media you used grayzone and both of your sources have a history of actually manufacturing evidence and purposely lying. So what is clear is you are intent on using sources that lie and manufacture evidence and have been busted on it — while ignoring all other sources that are critical of CCP simply for funding coming in part from a government regardless of the content. Furthermore, to prove you are a Wumao, you made your own deal that I must answer 20+ questions before you could answer that one specific question that would shut your whole argument down. Who does that other than a Wumao while he actively uses CCP media as a source on an accusation against the CCP itself?

  633. @agapp11able And last, on the grayzone: - The Grayzone promotes conspiracy theories involving George Soros funding regime changes, and the editor Max Blumenthal claims that Bill Gates ran a Covid simulation before it occurred. This is false. In general, The Grayzone promotes a socialist left perspective that promotes conspiracy theories and pro-Russian/Chinese propaganda.

  635. @agapp11able Unless you can verify the lies of Pete B. bein a CIA agent and Bill Gates running a Covid simulation before it occurred -- then your own main source (along with the CCP source) have proven to be creating fake news. And yet -- it's literally the sources you use.

    2
  643.  @Minty1337  it a clickbait video but hiding underneath the exaggerated statements, it does mention the aid isn’t as efficient because they don’t understand the local needs. It’s click bait because it does work at Times but this video highlighted where it doesn’t. The corn was a good example of it not working efficiently (probably still helped Better than nothing). Mosquito nets and medicine most certainly work even if some regions use the mosquito nets for goats instead of the kids…malaria deaths have declined.

It is expected to be about 3% annual growth in the 2030's which is only slightly more than the US annual growth over a decade but they are significantly behind on gdp capita.

  651.  @1943stone  They made the same predictions when China just started reforming their economy? How is Beijing today? Anyways, the difference now vs say predictions 10-20 years ago is that now we are actually seeing data proving those predictions. It's like the boy who cried wolf....eventually, the prediction was right.

  656.  @Yussalim  a lot of those killed in Haiti were mulatos too. And if you’re trying to win over international support, how does mass killing of an ethnic group help? The Haitians helped in making the terrible situation that existed.
    2
  657.  @Yussalim  “Reportedly, Dessalines ordered the unwilling to take part in the killings, especially men of mixed race, so that the blame should not be placed solely on the black population.[28][29] Mass killings took place on the streets and on places outside the cities. In parallel to the killings, plundering and rape also occurred.[29] Women and children were generally killed last. White women were "often raped or pushed into forced marriages under threat of death.”
    2
  658.  @TempestTheBlaze  and the US in the 1800’s most certainly cared about mass killings of 5,000 white people even if they didn’t care about 30 black people being killed on black Wall Street.

  659. @Marek Cracovia you really sound like some government agent. White is not alway right — the slavery was horrible. And i can go on about many other wrong things. But Haitian government has been a failure for 200 years while other countries with terrible histories have at some point made a major positive change.

  661. Long story short, China is basically buying diplomatic support so those nations and others who want to do business with China stay quiet or defend china on Xinjiang concentration camps, Hong Kong oppression, their attempts to steal the South China Sea from its neighbors with fake islands they build, and potentially an invasion Or attack on Taiwan.

Wow. You seriously don’t see the major discrimination when you said “the only thing the BJP did was muddy the water by allowing non-Muslims faster claims to citizenship”. That literally is the big deal here. It means they made it so that non-Muslims will not be effected by Muslims with sent to camps and eventually evicted from the country. What’s wrong with yöü?
    2
  672.  @anmolmonga1933  regarding wheat, you aren’t honest. It wasn’t because a poor harvest — it’s because they don’t want prices to increase for wheat in India. But this is what the experts said: - "If everyone starts to impose export restrictions... that would worsen the crisis," German Food and Agriculture Minister Cem Ozdemir said after the ban was announced in May. - But just before announcing the ban, India was aiming to boost exports by shipping a record 10 million tonnes of wheat this year - compared with just two million last year. It was offering supplies to new markets in Asia and Africa, and even after the ban, several countries said they were in touch with India to keep exports going.But just before announcing the ban, India was aiming to boost exports by shipping a record 10 million tonnes of wheat this year - compared with just two million last year.

  687.  @truongphuc93  Wumao, China has imprisoned over a million innocent Muslims. GITMO has imprisoned 700 mostly terrorist. Only a wumao would say that imprisoning and torturing over a million innocent people is worse than imprisoning and torturing 700 terrorist.

  689. The video does a great job of giving you a quick overview but these problems are probably much bigger than what can be discussed in a 14 min video. Too much total debt (national govt, provincial governments, state owned companies, and individual) is extremely high for a country that’s middle income and looking for more growth. The demographic “collapse” is going to make overcoming all these problems more difficult as well as the geopolitical fallout from China’s govt aggression towards others and defend of Russia. That geopolitical issue is why its largest trading partners (the west and its neighbors) will not be there to help China but instead are looking to reduce trade and dependence of China.

  690.  @sunhuatom  of course CCP shill thinks there is no such bad thing as a bad HSR route. Can’t question the CCP decisions! There are are still hundreds of millions of Chinese who are very poor. How about you get rid of the hukou system and start helping out the poor even more instead of spending it on excessive HSR routes that only the relative rich can afford? Notice how you can’t even acknowledge The on concentration camps in Xinjiang or the CCP killing large number of protesters in 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre

Why he had Sergei Magnitsky arrested then eliminated for uncovering corruption in the government?
    2
  702.  @LancesArmorStriking  Forgot something about Libya...Libya no fly zone was UN approved. The Security Council voted in favor of it. And who has veto power to have stopped it? Russia, and they didn't stop it.
    2
  703.  @LancesArmorStriking  " Just because something is legal doesn't mean it should be done or was moral" Russia didn't stop it and they could have. So how could this be a turning point for Put1n? In addition, a reason Russia didn't veto it was because the no fly zone was supported by the Arab League: - Russia had reservations about the no-fly zone, including the practicalities of enforcing such a zone and concerns about the use of force when other means had not been exhausted, but had noted requests by the Arab League and the "special situation" in Libya and therefore abstained So how is this a western thing if the Arab League also supprorted it? Bet RT news doesn't discuss that. From Al jazerra news in 2011: - Arab states seek Libya no-fly zone: Regional bloc calls on UN Security Council to take steps to protect civilians from air attack by Gaddafi forces. >Russia didn't veto it because Putin, at that point, was still hopeful for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Not vetoing it means that the UN will indeed approve intervention. >Look at the shth0le the West turned Libya into Like Russia after ditching communism? I guess you must really wish Russia was still communist. Or like India after gaining indepdence? I guess Indians really wish to still be under British control.

  709.  @TheNewGreenIsBlue  spot on. The rail roads in North America were in large part to control the lands out west. China is doing the same with rail to Xinjiang and Tibet. The more CCP supporting Han they can move out there, the more likely they will maintain their power there.

  710.  @ChengJiaStat  actually many ghost cities still exist. I was in a development area with 40 mid rise buildings (30-40 floors). maybe 10% of the units had lights at night so it was mostly empty. These buildings were completed 6 years ago. But hey, wumao, why do you defend genocide and concentration camps of Uighurs?

  712.  @raymonlandry228  wumao, how did I guess wrong? They have almost $1 trillion in debt from HSR. But you are contractually required to defend china even on bad decisions like too many HSR routes as you are required to defend China on its genocide and concentration camps of Uighurs. I’m sure you will not condemn China for the genocide and concentration camps.

  714.  @emmanueld.5875  they aren’t dumb — they are CCP shills (wumaos). They are paid to spread lies and propaganda. It’s why none of them has refused to condemn China over its concentration camps and genocide of Uyghurs when I ask them.

  715.  @Jaytip91  " China’s high speed rail doesn’t make money, and it shouldn’t." Wumao, just because it doesn't need to make money doesn't mean it should be $1 trillion in rapidly growing debt from HSR. And that $1T is after you consider that maybe half of the routes make money so it means they have routes that horribly inefficient. But hey, you think China can't do nothing bad so you defend China over it's genocide and concentration camps of Uyghurs.

  717.  @givewhite8698  Wumao, you seem to think that there is no mistake China can do on HSR or anything for that matter. HSR between markets that don't demand aren't good decisions since it's $1trillion and rapidly growing debt when they could have used improved or additional traditional rail -- China has much higher population per km of rail than most other countries so there is a need for more traditional rail. You defend all of China's HSR because of course you believe China can do no wrong -- you even defend them on their genocide and concentration camps of Uyghurs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_rail_transport_network_size

  718.  @GoodBaleadaMusic  "Profit doesn't mean sustainable." And $1 trillion in debt and rapidly climbing is a horrible sign of a project that wasn't needed. You can agree on that, right? That not all public infrastructure projects and good decisions.
    2
  719.  @tuesdaysgone2379  "Bro, a railroad is build for 100 years." That is idiotic and you made it up to defend your CCP overlords. The Japanese HSR, unlike the Chiense HSR, is not $1 trillion in debt and rapidly growing. "There is no country in the real world, where you can build a HSR that breaks even in 10 years". And no country in the world is $1 trillion in debt on HSR and rapidly growing. The fact it's rapidly growing means it's going to be worse at year 10 than year 1.

    2
  721.  @GoodBaleadaMusic  wumao, calling Japanese fascist when your CCP has concentration camps is hilarious. And you pointing out that Japan is richer thus has more people able to afford HSR just supports my argument that China built too many HSR that weren’t needed.
    2
  722.  @GoodBaleadaMusic  "Japan has concentration camps. 99% of all people that go before a judge in Japan get sent to a concentration camp." Wumao, you just confirmed you are a indeed a wumao.

  723.  @AlphaGeekgirl  "You conveniently neglected to mention how much the US is in debt to China" Wumao, why does that matter to this discussion? Why does that matter to the fact China is $1 trillion in debt and rising rapidly over HSR because they built a few too many HSR?
    2
  724.  @tuesdaysgone2379  wumao, you paid to argue that China can do no wrong? Is that why you defend China over it's concentration camps and genocide of Uyghurs?
    2
  725.  @p46709394  " i think we are watching the same videos but making out different conclusion upon watching the same videos." $1 TRILLION in debt and RAPIDLY RISING is a sign that China may have built too many HSR that didn't make sense. Are you a paid CCP shill that must defend everything from China? Probably why you defend China over it's concentration camps and genocide of Uyghurs.

Wumao, that's not how this works. Just because it's internal doesn't mean it's not debt. The US buying $1 trillion in service from companies to build something doesn't mean the $1 trillion can magically disappear. Wumao, do you think the Chinese goverment can make no mistake and that no HSR route is ever a bad decision? Do you also defend China's concentration camps and genocide of Uyghurs?

    2
  729.  @djyk777  "High speed rail in Japan is profitable because it’s excessively expensive" And because China is poor, they built too much HSR when adding more traditional rail or improving traditional rail would have benefited far more people. Glad you agree.

  730.  @p46709394  "satellite images of schools being called camps.." Wumao, what's your source that the 380+ identified facilities are just regular schools? Since when do schools have fencing and watchtowers? Wumao, give me a source showing the 380+ identified camps are schools.
    2
  731.  @fidelramen5202  how do you know regular rail in China is already good? They have far more people per km of rail than most other nations which suggest they could use more rail. I’ve also ridden some of their regular rail and the trains are old. They could use improvements. Why do you think they needed all that HSR if there is no demand for it? Are you the type that defends China over its concentration camps and genocide because China can do no wrong?
    2
  732.  @fidelramen5202  traditional rail is there and yet I just looked up and china is looking to add 70,000 km more of rail. So no, China doesn’t have enough traditional rail but you seem to think China can don no wrong. Are you the type that defends China over its concentration camps and genocide because China can do no wrong?
    2
  733.  @p46709394  lol, so you can’t give a source that showing how the 380+ identified concentration camps are somehow schools with security fences and watchtowers. Proved yourself to be a wumao
    2
  734.  @p46709394  lol, the only one out of the 380+ you viudo point to was the ONE lowest security facility which is the only one CCP allowed for inspections and which journalists weren’t allowed to speak with inmates in privacy?!?!
    2
  735.  @p46709394  If it's just a 'school', why is this the only one available for journalists? why do they need CCP permission to visit with CCP determining time and date? Why up to 10 in a room?
    2
  736.  @p46709394  At 3:02, the prison officially basically admits the people are forced to be there. 3:48 graffiti reads "Oh my heart don't break".4:03 they show images of several camps with prison fencing (high walls) and watch towers.
    2
  737.  @p46709394  4:20 they show that CCP is takin down watchtowers and security fencing were removed just before CCP allowed visitors. They even converted open lands inside the facilities into basketball courts so that the facilities don't look like prisons.
    2
  738.  @p46709394  4:58 they show facilities that the journalists weren't part of the tour and they had security fencing and guards kicked out the journalists from the area. 5:43 they show the typical prison most of the Uyhurs are sent to -- high walls, watchtowers, tougher treatment. The former inmate describes torture just like so many others have stated.
    2
  739.  @p46709394  7:58 the interview CCP officials who say they can determine guilt before any crime is convicted and that is enough to send people to these concentration camps. ARE YOU THAT DISGUSTING OF A HUMAN BEING THAT YOU SUPPORT THAT?

  740.  @p46709394  you are just going to ignore all the questions that arose from the bbc video you linked?

  742. @Midi, Norway discovered oil/gas when it was already a fully developed country and had a strong democracy. Most failed petro state ecoomies were poor and/or had weak deomcracy.

  755. @agapp11able "i did post the videos a total of three times" it's being removd because I don't see it. But why not describe it? What exactly did the google c-i-a video show that would somehow support your argument that the C-Sea-Pee doesn't sta-ge vids or that I used a source from relevant to it?
    2
  756. @agapp11able Moving the goal post? So you agree that mainland Chi-na doesn't allow such vids and HK has some autonomy and their press is (mostly) free unlike Mainland Chi-na? Why did you say they are the same then? If your point was HK has different laws, I would agree -- but then you said they don't have different laws. LOL, busted.

  757. @agapp11able "Ah so you know what the video is about. " because you LITERALLY described it's a women in shangha and for SCMP complaining.

  758. @agapp11able I’m sure u responded but it didn’t show up.I’m just glad u admitted u lied that HK is just like mainland China because you weren’t able to find a video from a source within mainland China.

  764.  @mng8680  “China has more interest in protecting trade routes in east Asia”. Is that your way of saying that China wants to steal the South China Sea and East China Sea so they can control all trade? Island chain strategy isn’t to block China access to the sea, it’s to uphold the freedom of navigation and to prevent China from invading others or illegally taking control of the seas. And you you suggest that China would be right to invade Taiwan since it’s part of a civil war from 75 years ago. Does that mean you think it’s right for South Korea to invade and conquer North Korea? Also, to prove I’m not talking to a Chinese puppet, can you acknowledge the g8noc1de in Xinjiang?
    2
  765.  @Bk6346  China does half of its trade with just a dozen or so countries— EU, US, Japan and South Korea. Chinas inflation might be lower than the US but Chinas expected gdp growth this year is now under 4% by many estimates — one estimate had it under 3%.

  766.  @lc7583  turns out a brave Chinese individual actually went around Xinjiang and confirmed many of the camps identified by ASPI.

Or are you pointing out the Taiwan constitution says all of China belongs to the Taiwan government per the constitution? So if you’re trying to argue “well if the constitution says Islam do f Taiwan is part of China it then must be true” you must also be arguing china belongs to Taiwan (ROC).

  772.  @williamwallace644  " First, HSR doesn't run on traditional rails, it runs on specifically newly built rails. " LITERALLY MY POINT. They need to build new far more expensive rail. And for the highest speed HSR, as the video demonstrated, they need even more expensive elevated tracks. " So some of these HSR lines begin to deliver high value-added commodities as well. " Source it wumao. Give a source. It's many goods you can transport on HSR to make up for the massive losses -- $1 TRILLION IN DEBT AND GROWING RAPIDLY!

  773. The last video was saying that China wasn’t practicing debt trap diplomacy but only in the finals seconds mentioned that the reason for generous loans was to essentially buy UN votes to defend Chinas genocide, attempts to steal the South China Sea, and other actions China wants support for. Wumaos flooded the comment sections saying “see, no debt trap” while also saying “no genocide”. Will the Wumaos come out and flood this video’s comments?

  775.  @Husper7  ". "PRC wasn't able to win ALL" because PRC had zero navy force" So u agree that they weren't able to win it all? And u support govts 70 years later starting a new war to finish the job? Does that mean u support South Korea taking over NK tomorrow? Ottomans had lands stripped from them by Russians and Europeans -- u support them taking it back 100 years later?

  776.  @Husper7  "And before you make critic about politics of Tibet and Xinjiang, you can first look into what the days were like before the liberation of these two region" Being under CCP was so much worse they rebelled.

  780.  @BBarNavi  in regards to Taiwan history, it was never part of china before 1660’s or so. Then in late 1600’s they began to colonize it and took full control in 1700’s…only for it to be taken by Japanese in 1800’s. It really only belonged to mainland China for 150yrs in its history

  785.  @joela.4058  the concentration camps in China are happening. Don’t f*cking pretend like “we just don’t know”. There is lots of evidence. Literal CCP leaked documents detailing much of their plan. Public spending records showing massive increase in security facilities being built starting 2017. Mass number of Muslims telling the Same story and a former Chinese government detective who fled China and told the story of rounding up mass number of innocent Muslims and torturing them. Satellite images of the camps and images of mosques being destroyed. Video of CCP officials blocking reporters and investigators from getting near almost all the identified camps. Do you need Xi Jingping to Publicly admit it to say that it’s likely all happening?
    2
  786.  @joela.4058  I agree that the CCP would make it impossible to 100% prove the genocice but your comments suggested that there was a reasonable debate that concentration camp and cultural genocide aren't happening. The person you were debating is a wumao and you gave their denial some credibility.

  792.  @ianhomerpura8937  Near suburbs of major cities (or outer parts of a major city) usually have suitable lawns. But wow, you get to middle suburbs and outer suburbs, they really like their big lawns. But it's also partially due to zoning. Many cities and or subdivisions have specific rules about the size of a lot and how far a house must be from the sidewalk plus other zoning laws that encourage big yards or encourage a HUGE house with a smaller yard.

  799.  @wothin  “shitty to just 1%”. lol, all the Muslims and Tibetans? And people of Hong Kong? Also, Xi has actually increased censorship as well. He’s also began a social credit system in some areas with intent to roll it out everywhere. How can you argue that things haven’t gone backward under Xi compared to 10 years ago?
    2
  800.  @wothin  lol, you literally just proved my point! You’re a CCP shill denying the concentration camps in Xinjiang. What do you call facilities where targeted persecuted minorities are sent for no crimes committed and where the inmates are often tortured?
    2
  801.  @wothin  back to the question at hand (since you clearly downplayed the horrible atrocities of concentration camps and torture that Uighurs are subject to), but is it not fair to say that Xi has reversed course on the progress made in China? Is it not true that oppression of Hong Kong, concentration camps, social credit score system, further censorship happened under Xi?
    2
  802.  @wothin  lol, you argued they aren’t concentration camps. At least you are complaining about it and trying to suggest it doesn’t fit the definition. Even here you say “those concentration camps, FACILITIES WHATEVER YOU MAY CALL THEM” then say they are just prisons. Prisons are for criminals — when it’s innocent people of a persecuted group being sent to a facility and tortured, it becomes a concentration camp. You keep downplaying it of course for the same reason you refuse to say Xi Jinping has taken the country backwards with his concentration camps, oppression of Hong Kong, and further censorship.
    2
  803.  @w.lyunen991  wumao, you blamed the cia for Tiananmen Square massacre.
    2
  804.  @wothin  lol, you’re saying you didn’t express a problem with the term concentration camps even though you complained about its connections to German Nazi camps and you just called them regular prisons?! What is the point of stating all that other than to downplay what’s happening to Muslims in Xinjiang? You even continued to downplay it by saying it’s better than being in Yemen. That 100% is a an attempt to downplay it. Seriously, what’s the point of brining up nazi camps and what’s the point of saying concentration camps are just prisons?
    2
  805.  @wothin  “I did not downplay (the concentration camps)” But then you also said of concentration camps: 1. “but those things are still not as bad as living in a war zone and I'd prefer being a Uyghur than a person in let's say Yemen, Syria or Libya” 2. “I mean I know those things are buzzwords for you people, where you can act outraged and stuff,” 3. “you consider not all Uyghurs are affected, but only the ones who appear "too religious". Besides, China only majorly discriminates against Uyghurs not other Muslim groups, Hui people are also muslim and have a population of roughly 10 million.” 4. “And while people like to use the terms concentration camps and genocide, most likely to create a connection to nazi Germany to gather more outrage” 5. “Those concentration camps, facilities whatever you may call them. Are basically prisons” LOL. You consistently have compalined about calling them concentraton camps and saying it’s used to manufacture some outrage. You also call these concentration camps “basically prisons”. You have repeatedly looked to downplay the concentration camps and #3 above is a great example, I’ll elaborate in a separate post.
    2
  806.  @wothin  You said "“you consider not all Uyghurs are affected, but only the ones who appear "too religious". Besides, China only majorly discriminates against Uyghurs not other Muslim groups, Hui people are also muslim and have a population of roughly 10 million.”" Not true at all. All muslims in Xijiang be it Uzbeks, Khazaks, Uyghurs, or even Hui are subject to the camps. And it's not just extremist or 'too religious' types, they are sending people simply for having long beards, wearing certain Muslim clothing, quitting smoking or drinking, praying somewhere outside of the mosque, etc. These are standard Muslim stuff. But I'm starting to think I'm debating a CCP shill.

  810.  @CN_SFY_General  "My brother makes equivalent 1500 USD per months." That in no way would mean that $1,500/month is the average pay of migrant workers. That's actually above average for all workers. Migrant workers tend to work in manufacturing jobs getting equivalent of US$2/hr. That would be $300-$500/month.

  852. @agapp11able why are you giving sources or answers to the following; 1. Aspi identified camps are just schools and drug rehab facilities. You just consistently saying there are didn’t make it true. Give a source. 2. A major criticism of the CCP that the CCP hasn’t already acknowledged. I gave you several of the US and it’s government 3. Where I supposedly said that all 12 million Muslims in Xinjiang are in concentration camps.

  855. @agapp11able you pointed out one facility (Karglilik) out of 380+ and you can’t even provided a source of where you found this to be true? “I gave you criticism of the CPC”….you literally used the term you overlord CCP bosses tell you to use so you’re really giving it away that your are a wumao. “Don’t have universal healthcare and banning private tutoring” is some really minor criticism. You couldn’t even point out oppression in Xinjiang or Tibet or Hong Kong nor could you point to Tiananmen massacre nor how the government controls all information, etc. Lol And in regards to 12 million, I said there were 12 million in Xinjiang and not 12 million in camps. You lied again
    1
  856. @agapp11able sketchers checked the region? The whole region? But you literally said it was only 2 of their facilities they checked. Wow, so checking 2 facilities means that all of the thousands of facilities in a region are innocent!

All you did was say “they banned private tutors and healthcare isn’t universal”. Give a serious criticism 3. Where I supposedly said that all 12 million Muslims in Xinjiang are in concentration camps. Me saying 12 million Muslims in Xinjiang doesn’t mean I’m saying all 12 million are or were in camps. 4.

  861.  @zer0hero95  “you Americans only know Tibet from brad pitt film” said the wumao who thinks it’s okay to have millions sent to concentration camps. Tibet was under a caste system 10 years ago so that makes it okay to oppress them today?

  862. @agapp11able I asked for criticism of the CCP and the best you can do included “banned private tutoring”. You somehow don’t think that makes you sound like a CCP shill when the CCP has committed atrocities and oppression but you point to private tutoring as one of the major criticisms?

  863. @agapp11able give me a source on Skechers and their full report. I’m actually surprised you think no corporation uses sweat shop labor or child labor considering every single corporation has denied them for decades. Or you agree that businesses often lie that they don’t use such labor?

  867. @agapp11able why are you not giving sources or answers to the following; 1. Aspi identified camps are just schools and drug rehab facilities. You just consistently saying there are didn’t make it true. Give a source 2. A major criticism of the CCP that the CCP hasn’t already acknowledged. I gave you several of the US and it’s government. All you did was say “they banned private tutors and healthcare isn’t universal”. Give a serious criticism 3. Where I supposedly said that all 12 million Muslims in Xinjiang are in concentration camps. Me saying 12 million Muslims in Xinjiang doesn’t mean I’m saying all 12 million are or were in camps. 4. Explain how sketchers saying they found no forced labor in their own facilities means there is no forced uyghur labor anywhere. 5. Explain where ASPI said that there are two million in the camps at this exact moment

  869. @agapp11able no evidence beside leaked CCP documents, 380 identified facilities, numerous testimonies from victims saying they are tortured, images of mosques destroyed, Public documents showing mass increase in spending to build new facilities in Xinjiang.

  871. @agapp11able of course wumao has excuses for EVERY organization that has criticized CHina -- you only acccpt the CCP word. - Amnesty international is literally has ties to US/UK intelligence...great source "ties"? You mean it's HQ in England and since England is the west, it can't be trusted. - "ASPI is funded by US state department, and US arms manufacterers like Raytheon....they totally would not make stuff up" The vast majority of funding from ASPI is actually Australia. At least 70%. But -- you won't accept that either since Australia is the west, right? NYT and Buzzfeed? You won't accept that because it's the west, right? SO THE ONLY THING YOU ACCEPT IS THE CCP OR NEWS ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT THE CCP??

  872. @agapp11able A Tier 1 re-education facility in Pichan, Turpan with an external wall. (Tier 1: Suspected lower security re‑education camps ) 42.85999886 90.22203638 Wumao, there is no playground inside the facility. And this is the lowest tier / lowest security of the camps. From some reports, this the last camp they go to before being released. Only a dummie would say that they can tell it's not a camp because there are playgrounds and apartments. The one facility that the CCP allowed BBC and other to visit was also next to apartment buildings and had a basketball court. Bro, can you shill harder?

  883. @agapp11able "ASPI was caught in lies again and Marlabashi Detention center no 1 was in fact a school" First -- so your sources a CCP news and CCP workers to talk to the camera? Umm...they confirmed Hotan detention center is indeed a detention center. So ASPI is confirmed right. What your CCP news and CCP paid individual say is that it's not just Uyghurs or Muslims -- but provide no proof. They just say it.

  884. @agapp11able "Marlabashi Detention center no 1 was in fact a school" All they do is literally cut a classroom where kids are taught -- and you have no idea if that class is even inside the same facility. And they speak to one individual on the street who says "trust me, I'm a teacher and it's just a school". Then surely there must be LOTS of videos of kids playing inside the wall of the compound???? Now source it.

  885. @agapp11able WUMAO, ASPI has a great article on how China often tries to lie and use propaganda videos which wumaos like you then use to say "see, no detention facility of Uyghurs!". And you have literally just done -- you posted a CCP news video as your source with much of the same practices. Article: - Last month, Global Times editor Hu Xijin visited what he referred to as a ‘vocational training center’ in Kashgar. He posted a two-minute video of the trip on his Twitter account - But by July 2017, when construction was complete, every ‘school’ building in the southwest of the facility (previously Middle School No. 5) was surrounded by tall fencing that had been painted green and topped with razor wire. By August, much of School No. 6 was enclosed with similar fencing. Upon completion in around November 2017, School No. 4 was also highly securitised and a tender was released calling for bidders to oversee and install new equipment, including a new surveillance camera system - The video posted by Hu Xijin of Middle School No. 4 on 24 October shows detainees dancing and playing table-tennis and basketball. However, this visit—and the footage shared on social media—may not reflect the regular daily experiences of the detainees. - Through satellite and imagery analysis—including imagery updated daily—we can determine that these courts are coloured mats that are recent additions to the camp. The mats were placed on a concrete-covered area that is normally bare and appears inaccessible to detainees. - Across 25 satellite images between August 2017 and August 2018, which show the facility since its construction, not a single image featured these outdoor courts. But these coloured mats do appear in satellite imagery available from 10 October.

All this wumao from Beijing University does is just post the pics from ASPI and say "it's a high school" regardingKashgar faclity #4. On google maps, you can literally see a large wall encircling the compound? Wumao, when do high schools have large walls?? You a dumbf*ck? And the analysis from wikipedia includes a document in Chinese and the following: - A Tier 2 re-education facility in Kashgar, Kashgar. This facility is nextdoor to a lower security camp that is often used in propaganda purposes, although only separated by a short pathway, international journalists who visited the Northern camp have been explicitly disallowed to see this area. Four large residential buildings were constructed on a school oval. In late 2019 a lot of the high securitised features have been removed. Its current status is unclear.

You haven't proven they are incompetent - you have proven you are willing to just use a video of the CCP showing a random class room as evidence. And even finding out that one of the 'likely' camps isn't a camp does not mean that all most of the rest aren't camps. ""Where's your serious criticism of the USA? " I'm sorry, did you not read the list of complaints I had about racism in the US (individuals and systemic), presidents that should be in prison or who are horrible people, etc? All you did was say "I don't agree with China's ban on private tutoring" as if that's even comparable to the major criticism I gave. You certainly are a wumao if that's the best you can do.

You refuse to provide any other videos of any of these 'schools' which is odd that there isn't anything but what the CCP recorded.

Why don't you have video of this facility other than that CCP propaganda??? " its a pdf scan so theres no keywords" That sounds very suspect. LOL. So no website even discusses it?

You have "I dislike China's ban on private tutoring" LOL, typical wumao. Q: WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO MAKE ANY SERIOUS CRTICISM OF CHINA? YOU A WUMAO? - ""So do you admit then that ASPI is funded by the military of both Australia and the USA? Yes or no?"" ASPI makes their funding very clear unlike your CCP sources. I already gave you the breakdown earlier -- 70% comes from Australia itself and 80% comes from Australia plus private non-government non-defense contractor. Q: WHY DO YOU ACCEPT PROPOGANDA NEWS OUTLET RUN BY THE VERY SAME GOVERNMENT ACCUSSED? - ""Do you admit that many Chinese middle and high schools are boarding schools and have kids live in them. Yes or no?"" I never said they didn't. But you're saying that it's common for boarding schools for MIDDLE SCHOOL to have 10,000+ students and prison walls. Q: GIVE A SOURCE THAT 10,000+ STUDENTS AND PRISON WALLS ARE TYPICAL OF MIDDLE SCHOOL BOARDING SCHOOLS. GO AHEAD, ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. YOU WON'T BECAUSE YOU ARE A WUMAO.

  903. @agapp11able - "Why can't random people discredit bad sources if they speak the language or have information that others don't? Why can't random people who have clearly accounts that repeatedly use CCP propaganda can't be trusted? And when their evidence is basically "the CCP said it's not what ASPI said" or just a random pic? - "It doesn't matter if the people "defend the CCP", what matters is if there conclusions stand up to scrutiny. And they do." And I would say the EXACT same thing about you regarding Amnesty International, NYT, BBC, and ASPI among many others. You see how this works? You get to use obvious CCP propoganda sources abut then claim every other sources can't be trusted. "Yes. That's not why I linked that video. " A video created by the CCP state propaganda media where they show a classroom that could be anywhere. - "The reason I linked it was because you can see the school." You see a classroom. WHY WON'T YOU GIVE EVIDENCE IT'S THE SAME FACILITY? - "Why are you so fixated on the class? Most of the video is irrelevant. The most important part is where you see the map and the school" So you agree the video doesn't actually show anything from the facility itself in video form? But your saying that the same satellite images show it's a school because the CCP said it's a school? Q: EXPLAIN YOURELF. WHAT FROM THE VIDEO SHOWS MAPS THAT PROVE IT'S A SCHOOL? WHAT TIME MARKER? - " Because you can literally see the building in the video from the outside lol" Q: WHAT TIME MARKER DO YOU SEE THE BUILDING OUTSIDE THAT CONFIRMS IT'S THE SAME FACILITY? WHAT BUILDING MATCHES UP WITH THE BUILDING IN THE VIDEO?

  904. @agapp11able KEEING THIS SIMPLE: Q: ASPI actually gives you evidence of China's propaganda videos where they re-arrange a one of these facilities so they can film a propaganda video. ARE YOU DENYING THAT CHINA DOESN'T MAKE PROPOGANDA VIDEOS? That's all for now. if you can't even confirm that the CCP has staged videos, then you clearly are a wumao.

  905. @agapp11able and the source that shows CCP staging videos is "Mapping Xinjiang’s ‘re-education’ camps" from "ASPI". Google that and it should be top result or just copy & paste paragraphs from below. Below is highlighted text: WUMAO, ASPI has a great article on how China often tries to lie and use propaganda videos which wumaos like you then use to say "see, no detention facility of Uyghurs!" - Last month, Global Times editor Hu Xijin visited what he referred to as a ‘vocational training center’ in Kashgar. He posted a two-minute video of the trip on his Twitter account - But by July 2017, when construction was complete, every ‘school’ building in the southwest of the facility (previously Middle School No. 5) was surrounded by tall fencing that had been painted green and topped with razor wire. By August, much of School No. 6 was enclosed with similar fencing. Upon completion in around November 2017, School No. 4 was also highly securitised and a tender was released calling for bidders to oversee and install new equipment, including a new surveillance camera system - The video posted by Hu Xijin of Middle School No. 4 on 24 October shows detainees dancing and playing table-tennis and basketball. However, this visit—and the footage shared on social media—may not reflect the regular daily experiences of the detainees. - Through satellite and imagery analysis—including imagery updated daily—we can determine that these courts are coloured mats that are recent additions to the camp. The mats were placed on a concrete-covered area that is normally bare and appears inaccessible to detainees. - Across 25 satellite images between August 2017 and August 2018, which show the facility since its construction, not a single image featured these outdoor courts. But these coloured mats do appear in satellite imagery available from 10 October. Global Times editor Hu Xijin posted about his visit to these facilities on Twitter and Weibo on 24 October - Across 25 satellite images between August 2017 and August 2018, which show the facility since its construction, not a single image featured these outdoor courts.

  906.  @zer0hero95  " So US media not control by US goverment ??? " Do you have evidence that the US government runs the US media? If so, why did the NYT consistently criticize and investigated Trump? Even released his private tax records. And why did they investigate and find that the US drone strike in Afghanistan killed an innocent man? You wumaos are funny.
    1
  907. @agapp11able "so what you’re saying is that people that repeatedly use western propaganda cannot be trusted?" That's the difference between you and me. You say that china's news isn't propoganda even though it's literally run and controlled and censored fully by the Chinese government itselft. However, NYT, The Guardian, Amnesty International, etc -- they are not run nor controlled by the US or UK govt. - "The time stamps are 0:15, 1:40, 1:59 you can literally see school buildings and playgrounds lmao" In all of those time stamps, its just outside with no one around. WHY ARE THERE NO STUDENTS IN EXTERNAL SHOTS IF IT'S A SCHOOL???

  908. @agapp11able KEEPING THIS SIMPLE SINCE YOU KEEP REFUSING TO ANSWER ONE SIMPLE QUESTION Q: ASPI actually gives you evidence of China's propaganda videos where they re-arrange a one of these facilities so they can film a propaganda video. ARE YOU DENYING THAT CHINA DOESN'T MAKE PROPOGANDA VIDEOS? If you are denying it, explain how the evidence presented by ASPI is not good evidence. That's all for now. if you can't even confirm that the CCP has staged videos, then you clearly are a wumao.

  909.  @zer0hero95  knowing Chinese doesn’t make you a But knowing Chinese, using CCP state media as a source, and overall not able to criticize CCP makes you a wumao

  910.  @zer0hero95  "Then only trust western mainstream medias " That doesn't mean I trust ANY western media. I trust respectable media. Why do you trust a media that is fully controlled and censored for state propaganda media in China, especially when it is regarding accusations against China?
    1
  911.  @zer0hero95  "And you dogged the question again, US media donnot controlled by the US government ??!!" How is it 'dogging' (you mean dodging?) a question when I said US media such as NY Times or Washington Post is not owned nor run by the US govt? The same news that is often trying to take down the president? You're stupid argument is just stupid, stupid.
    1
  912.  @zer0hero95  'You said i dont criticize CCP, how can i when what i know where far from the truth !!!" You're saying you don't criticize the CCP because there is nothing to criticize the CCP about? Sounds exactly like a wumao.
    1
  913.  @zer0hero95  You have basically confirmed you are a wumao. You say NY Times and Washington Post are US state owned and controlled WHILE you use actual state owned and controlled CCP propoganda news as a source. You speak Chinese, you use CCP as a source, and you said you cannot find anything to criticize the CCP. Sounds like you confirmed you are a CCP wumao.

  914.  @zer0hero95  are you saying the CCP state media is better than the bbc?

  916. @agapp11able it’s funny how you disappeared as soon as I just asked you to answer one question after I answered 7 or 8 of your questions. I’m only asking you say whether or not you believe China has fabricated/staged any videos for propaganda on the Uighur issue. And if you do not believe so, what is you’re reasoning that the ASPI report on China staging videos isn’t accurate?
    1
  917. @agapp11able " beo its valentines day and im eith my gf. Relax" In less words you could have just answered the question and say "CCP has staged videos for propaganda". 6 words instead of the 10 words you used. I also didn't know they celebrate Valentines in China.

  918. @agapp11able respond to the ultimatum post? I did. I answered the first 1/2 of it. Actually, like 2/3 of it. You won’t respond to the simple ONE question about whether or not the CCP has staged a video before. Why are you unable to respond to ONE question when I responded to many of yours? And you live in North America? Sure buddy.
    1
  919. @agapp11able why are you unable to answer ONE question? Seems like I busted you being a wumao. You cannot answer if CCP has staged a video before since that would defeat your whole argument. Thus I have proven you are a Wumao.

  920. @agapp11able so let’s get this right — I answer so many of your ultimatum questions which you then added more BUT you are unable to answer ONE question? Seems like you are proven you are wumao.

  921. @agapp11able here’s a deal. You ask me two Questions and I ask you one question. I’ve already answered far more than you have so I’m being generous and giving you TWO questions to my ONE question. So unless you’re a wumao who wants to confirm you’re a Wumao, you would agree to this. Only person who would avoid this is someone who knows that the question I asked would prove you lie for the CCP.

  924. @agapp11able let’s get this right — you asked 20 questions and I answered the first half. But you won’t respond to ONE question because you know it 100% proves you are a Wumao? After answering the first half, all I asks is you make two more questions in return for ONE question. This 100% proves you are wumao. Ultimatum: you answer the ONE question or else you don’t reply and by not replying you are confirming you are wumao.

  936. @agapp11able I’m sorry — I tried to change the terms? You mean you suddenly asked 20 questions and I answered the first dozen but you’re saying you refuse to answer one question because you said “answer my 20 questions before I will answer (likely not) one question”? That’s a typical wumao thing to do when you are cornered. Ask me two that I didn’t answer and if you ask a question I already answered, then I get to ask a question. Anyone not a wumao would take me up on that. But you won’t since you have no intention of answering the question since you know you got busted as a wumao

  937. @agapp11able the deal you made yourself was that I would answer 20 questions before you would maybe (but not likely answer) one. I answer the first dozen or so. And now I asked you to ask the TWO best questions I didn’t answer but you can’t mess up and ask a question I already answered. You refuse to do so because you at wumao who never had intentions to answer they ONE question

  939. @agapp11able "Do you admit that ASPI is funded by the militaries of both Australia and USA" I answered that man times. I said it was primarly funded by the Austrlian government (70%) and 10% non-defense private with there rest from US and defense contractors. "Do you admit that many Chinese middle schools are boarding schools" I also answered that on at least TWO occassions. I said I am aware of borading schools but I asked YOU to point out boarding schools for middle school that was for 10,000+ students and surrounded with high prison walls and a watchtower. You were not able to. So you asked two questions that I had already answered. You are thus a wumao. You can (possibly) redeem yourself by answering why you think the ASPI evidence showing China staging a video is wrong. You didn't even read it which is why you can't say anything specific about it.

You are unable to point out what was wrong from the ASPI evidence that China has staged a video. 3.

  945. @agapp11able Aww, little bot got caught lying and never actually looked at the evidence that the CCP staged a video. How sad.

  948.  @sunhuatom average factories in China pay equivalent to $2/hr per while many rich western nations pay $20/hr. I previously linked data showing Chinas rural migrants that moved to the cities make about $600/month in average which is about $7,000 per year. Average income in the US is about $60,000 but work far less than average rural migrant worker in China. And average monthly income of migrant workers when most of the HSR was built was around $400/mo or $4,800/yr

  951.  @weiner392  “quiet frightening to see how radical people online are with disinformation”. Agapp11able literally has used CCP propaganda news and sites as his sources. If you want to argue he isn’t spreading disinformation, why didn’t he answer how the evidence from ASPI showing in detail how CCP staged propaganda videos of some camps is not good evidence? Why won’t you do that yourself — explain how the aspi evidence in China staging videos isn’t true? I’ll pay you the 50 cents you normally would earn

I've noticed you didn't refute the ASPI evidence that China stages some propaganda vides of the detention facilities. Huh, you're just like the other wumao -- full of BS.

  954.  @weiner392  you don’t know how to prove aspi wrong? So then why do you say Ccp doesn’t stage videos or why do you defend someone who is arguing CCP doesn’t stage videos? You sure sound like a shill — or just admit agapp11able was dishonest by saying CCP doesn’t stage propaganda videos

  955. @agapp11able last time I asked you to ask two questions that I haven’t answered and you asked two questions I had previously answered. I told you if you asked a question I already answered, it would be your turn to answer. BUT YOU COULDNT HONOR THE DEAL!
    1
  956. @agapp11able and regardless of you’re 20 questions, I proved you are a wumao. For your argument to hold, you need for the CCP to not have staged any videos. They were caught staging videos which completely defeats your argument. If you cared for the facts, you would have just acknowledged the CCP has staged videos. But the fact you won’t acknowledge it nor point out where aspi was wrong, you are proving the facts don’t matter but only what the CCP says! Wumao confirmed.

    1
  959. @agapp11able but none of that matters — you breaking a deal you agreed to confirms you are a wumao but the biggest evidence is actually your refusal to either admit CCP staged videos or provide details how ASPI was wrong in its evidence that CCP staged videos. Literally all that matters is this and you know it so you refuse to answer it because you are caught not caring for facts but caring only to defend the glorious CCP overlords you have. It doesn’t matter if ASPI was funded by space aliens or by Hitler’s ghost, the evidence they provided on CCP staging videos is literally video and pictures you can see. If a video shows trump killing a prostitute, it wouldn’t matter if the person filming was a democrat. But since you have proven you aren’t interested in the truth but only interested in defending the CCP like a good wumao, you would be the type to ignore a video of trump killing a prostitute just because it was a democrat voter who filmed it.

  964. @agapp11able Remember, your whole defense on the concentration camps was you saying they are just schools and you used a CCP source. Therefore, the most important thing to this discussion is whether or not CCP stages videos. You are aware it is super important which is why (like a typical wumao) you have refused to acknowledge CCP stages videos or refused to give details how the ASPI video is fake. You are legally not allowed to criticize your CCP and you are proving that the facts don't matter, only defending China matters.

  966. @agapp11able "not really. The most important question to answer is whether ASPI is Austrlian state owned media." Of course a wumao would say that he would not count as evidence Trump killing a man if it was recorded by someone that voted Democrat. Furthermore, you are saying "ASPI can't be trusted since it's Australian while LITERALLY using sources that are from the CCP itself".

  967. ​@agapp11able To sum up: 1. You are wumao unable to acknowledge that CCP has staged vidoes nor able to show ASPI was wrong. 2. You say ASPI can't be trusted because they received Australian (or whatever) funding but you are saying China's media CAN be trusted. 3. You used a video from the CCP as evidence and accept Chinese state media video but you say video and pics from Australian supported group is NOT acceptable to you. 4. You agreed we never made a deal.

  970.  @Bk6346  mass killings aren’t needed for gen ide. Are you familiar with UN definition of it? Seems you aren’t. Even if you weren’t familiar, you are still arguing in support of sending millions of innocent where many will be t0rt.üred to facilities and everyone else will also be required to live in a police state within a police state unable to practice their religion as they normally do or else they get sent to facilities

  986.  @cowboydoggo6168  oh, got it. So you don’t believe g8nocïde of Uyghurs Uyghurs and his Tibet is treated is oppression. That explains everything and certainly proof of the .50 RMB you earn And using CCP talking to suggest no one will help Taiwan despite Biden saying it on 3 occasions and Japan Suggesting they will also help. But sure, you’re excuse is another CCP talking point “nobody will help Taiwan because nobody recognizes them in UN as a country”. If they recognize them as independent, why are they selling Taiwan weapons and not Beijing?

  987.  @cowboydoggo6168  going to repeat this part because it’s the d*mbest comment ever: “Biden has zero proper legal basis to intervene”….what legal basis?

US helped the Kurds in Syria and Iraq. Bro, what is you ÏQ?

  989. so I just posted the definition of g8nocide. They only need to do one of those 5 actions with intent to destroy the ethnic group (cultural g8nocide — destruction of group). They are guilty of at least 3 of those 5. Items 2,3 and 4. They are torturing detainees (2), they are inflicting conditions of life calculates to bring to destruction in whole or part of the group (3), they are using force sterilization (4). So now it’s proven it meets the definition of UN g8nocide

  1031.  @雅君墨客  According to the World Bank, the US is by far the largest consumer market in the world. US consumer spending is $18 trillion while China is under $7 trillion. Even the EU as a whole is only 8.7 trillion. There is a difference between consumer market and trade. But even if you want to use trade, the only part that is relevant would be imports of each country. The US is once again number in yearly import value.

But he's clearly able to watch a video that is entirely in English so he's capable of writing in English. He chooses not to because he knows that YT often rem0ves comments with certain words. And if you saw me reply in detail to his comment, then you know that I did translate it -- though I had to copy & paste it because I mostly write on youtube from my computer.

  1035.  @雅君墨客  So either you didn't watch the video which was in English if you can't write in English or you are purposely writing in Chinese for some nefarious reason such as possibly trying to avoid YT from removing your comment or to make it harder for us to read. I also corrected your l1e about the US not being the biggest consumer market (or even the biggest importer) so clearly I did translate your comment. I copied and pasted to google translate. The fact you stated purposely misleading or wrong comments to defend China AND you wrote in Chinese seems very suspicious. almost like a 50 center.

  1036.  @Geoff020650  almost all the fentanyl killing Americans originates from China. China's government is doing little on stopping it's pharmacuetical companies selling fentanyl to cartels. Or as one report states "But China’s counternarcotics cooperation with the U.S. has been subordinated to the overall deteriorated geostrategic relationship between the two countries. For example, since 2018, prior to which China arrested Chinese fentanyl traffickers based on U.S. tipoffs, China has not acted on U.S. indictments of and U.S.-provided intelligence on Chinese traffickers"

  1037.  @雅君墨客  Where did I get the data? I said the world bank. Did you not see my previous comment? My first reply to you started with "According to the World Bank". Wikipedia has a page on it titled "List of largest consumer markets". And yes, I know what the US gdp is...and consumer market is 69% of GDP. it's 51% in EU and 38% in China. Regarding trading, we are talking about buying goods. So why do you keep mentioning exports? Stay with an honest discussion here. If you don't want to use the consumer market data from the world market, then look at importing. US is #1 in imports.
    1
  1038.  @雅君墨客  Are you going to say the world bank is wrong and that your government is right? Just to clarify a couple things, the consumer market are all goods and services used by consumers -- individuals. That would be final goods and services for households such as televisions, furniture, tools, appliances, food, etc. and services such as theater tickets, sporting events, hiring cleaners, etc.

Most of the production in Mexico that goes to the US are in the border states. Second, no... 90% of the products shipping aren't cheaper coming from China than from Mexico. Not even close. Also, as someone that has dealt with manufacturing facilities in both Mexico and China, the transpiration time is a big benefit for Mexico. We use to get shipments from Mexico in 3-5 days. From China it was 4-6 weeks.

  1040.  @fahadahaf  Going to repeat because 5yr olds have trouble with this. PPP is only good for domestic comparisons. When it comes to trade, oil at $80 a barrel will sell at $80 to everyone. Doesn't matter what your PPP is, you will have to pay $80. Is this something Fahad can understand? PPP comes into play more regarding domestic services and domestic manufacturing but not international trade. ELY5 (explain it like you're), lets say $1 = 10 yuan. 10 yuan can get you say 1 hour massage in China but $1 in the US gets you 5 minutes. That's where PPP is demonstrating that $1 worth of yuan goes farther than $1 in the US. But that consumer be it individual or business has to buy oil or some other good / resource, the price is the same for everyone. $1 worth of yuan gets you $1 worth of international goods. And since we are talking about consumer market for foreign goods & services, PPP has no place in such a discussion.

  1049.  @UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana  so it’s not the poor? But you said it was the poor that we’re using HSR. The fact you can’t admit to what’s happening in Xinjiang just shows you are another vvumao.

  1050.  @UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana  the poor are in the same company so the company pays the expensive daily cost of HSR for them?

They are also supporting executions of innocent people all over the world

  1061.  @Wha2les  "we are not talking about the morality of governments" But how a video or content chooses to describe events will lead viewers to certain opinion of morality of governments, even if not intentional. That's what I meant with the Adolph comparison...simply by portraying the center as neutral, it may lead viewers to think that both sides have equal points. >"Like the United States is the beacon of virtues?" if it was, then this would 100% be just about bad things of China. But US is not a beacon of virtues. >We are only talking about the territorial dispute of the unfinished Civil war in China. Your phrasing is literally proving my point. That comment itself can suggest that Taiwan is factor in why it's unfinished when it's really all about China's government not wanting to just let the civil war be finished. You don't see South Korea making threats to take back North Korea. >"You can not blame the Mainland for wanting to complete its territorial claim on Taiwan." See, more proving my point. You are certainly defending China which is exactly the whole point I made and I had believed you were trying to defend China by how you supported how this video tried to make Taiwan (or Taiwan/US) look equally at fault. I'll point right back to South Korea and how they aren't talking about forcibly taking North Korea back. Why can't China do this? It's only North Korea and China acting like that...coincidence that they are autocratic authoritarian governments? So you proved that this video appeals to the type of person who China's opinions about Taiwan. You also stated a lot of factually incorrect things in your posts which I will address in the 2nd part so as to not clutter this response.
    1
  1062.  @Wha2les  Part 2 of my reply >"You can not blame the Mainland for wanting to complete its territorial claim on Taiwan. It's not like ROC doesn't have claims on Mainland China either. Both claim each other and the South China Sea, and ROC also claimed Mongolia too." ROC claims you are referring to are almost all entirely because China (PRC) refuses to allow Taiwan to change their contisutions regarding those claims as they will see that as an act of independence. And in 2002, Taiwan officially recognized Mongolia as an independent country so you're stating false claims. You literally repeated typical CCP talking points I see online. Hmmm >"Human rights record and all your other criticisms on China, US, etc doesn't matter." It does matter if a video leads audience to believe both sides are equally bad or equally at fault. >We are only in this mess because the CCP in 1949 wasn't able to cross the Taiwan Straits to conquer Taiwan Much like with North Korea, we are only in this mess because an authoritarian oppressive regime does not want to progress and maintains pre-WW2 mentality. >"(Adolph) wanted to take over Europe and disregard other countries sovereignty and eradicate people he didn't like. That is totally different than the China Taiwan issue." An invasion of Taiwan is likely to lead to mass number of Taiwanese eradicated and their sovereignty gone. But regardless, the point of that analogy was to demonstrate how perfectly down the middle gives both sides equal fault. >"Taiwan was a part of China before 1890s when China lost Taiwan to Japan. Japan returned it after WW2 and was under Chinese territorial sovereignty when the KMT fled there in 1949." Never held by the PRC/CCP. >It's like saying if US have a civil war today, It's like saying France should take back Vietnam or England take back India...take back the lands they had 60-70 years ago. Or South Korea send it's army into North Korea. Or Mongolia go into China and take inner Mongolia. 74 years is more than enough time to give up any claims, especially when the claim is a relatively small land.

  1063.  @Wha2les  "Stop looking at this from an American Perspective." It's not an American perspective. The issue is you are looking at it from an authoritarian oppressive perspective. I'm looking at it from the opposite perspective. That's why the opinion you express more aligns with China, North Korea, Russia and others while mine more aligns with Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and most of the west. >"Taiwan and the mainland both consider each other Chinese. It is in the freaking language." Huh, exactly what Russia/Putin said when stealing lands from Ukraine. You sound more and more like Putin/Xi/Kim. Having the same language is not relevant unless you are Putin/Xi/Kim trying to come up with excuses. And 'Chinese'...well, most of Singapore considers themselves 'Chinese', does that mean China can take Singapore? What about the parts of Malaysia where there are large ethnically Chinese populations? 'Chinese' is too broad of a term and that leads to confusion about what it means to be Chinese. Vast majority of people in Taiwan consider themselves to be Taiwanese first before Chinese. It like trying to say Mexican Americans are the same Mexicans in Mexico and thus either side is justified to take lands from the other. If there were no different in cultures between Taiwanese (or Chinese-Taiwanese if you want to be more specific) and Chinese, then Taiwanese would just peacefully unit with China. >"The polls in Taiwan shows that they prefer the status quo and see what happens in the future." Another typical talking pt of the pro CCP. The question in those polls is with the understanding that 'independence' means possible w.a/r. If you actually think they don't want independence if it was guaranteed that China would accept it and not use force on Taiwan, then you don't know Taiwanese people. Or you only speak to the ultra conservative pro CCP types. >"This is a Chinese issue that should be decided by Chinese people in Taiwan and the Mainland." Except Taiwan already decided. They don't want to be part of China. All of this is because China won't accept it. Your constant use of 'Mainland" and Chinese people to refer to Taiwanese along with your argument that is very much aligned with Russia's justification for taking lands from Ukraine really does seem to support that you are pro CCP and pro authoritarian type.
    1
  1064.  @Wha2les  "I love how Americans who don't even understand Chinese history and culture instantly call all their arguments they don't like CCP or whatever talking points." I understand Chinese history VERY well. I've read up on. I've traveled China. My ex is from China. I also work for Taiwanese company and have coworkers from Taiwan. But you're talking points are indeed directly from the CCP and other authoritarian regimes. For example: 1. "Taiwan and the mainland both consider each other Chinese. It is in the freaking language." This is used by Putin/Xi/Kim. 2. " The fact they use Mainland China in Taiwan shows that they still view themselves as Chinese." They view themselves first as Taiwanese by a large margin. I believe only some 5% view themselves as Chinese first. 3. "The polls in Taiwan shows that they prefer the status quo and see what happens in the future." This is purposely misused by pro CCP types. They do not consider that 'independence' option is with the idea war is likely. 4. "It's not like ROC doesn't have claims on Mainland China either. Both claim each other and the South China Sea, and ROC also claimed Mongolia too.". Very typical outdated claims or misleading claims used by the pro CCP crowd. This is a dead giveaway on your motives in this conversation because nobody who is against China's policy on Taiwan states that. Thats stuff that gets repeated among the pro CCP crowd. 5. "Taiwan was a part of China before 1890s when China lost Taiwan to Japan. Japan returned it after WW2 and was under Chinese territorial sovereignty when the KMT fled there in 1949. It's like saying if US have a civil war today, and the green party or whatever fled to Hawaii". Again, terribly bad analogy that's only used by pro CCP crowd. But apparently, from your arguments, North Korea should invade South Korea, Putin was justified invading Ukraine and taking lands with Russian speaking people, and China is justified in invading Taiwan.

  1068. Taiwan is a heavily fortified island while Ukraine has a wide open border with Russia. Taiwan also had much better weapons than Ukraine was initially given (latest reports show urkraine might be getting far better weapons soon). Taiwan likely will have US and Japan help in fighting while no one helped Ukraine. An amphibious attack will just be way too hard for China. However, Xi can’t be trusted. If he believes he has a chance, he will take it. But just like Russia, China has no true Allies because no one trusts China. China will have to do it alone

  1074.  @steeldriver5338  yes, political pressure he created by entering the war. But he also has to hide the death count because if they really knew how many died, it would also hurt Putin. Street interviews in Russia (YT channel 1420) show that most pro Putin Russians don't believe the count is anywhere near what is reported outside of Russia
    1
  1075.  @steeldriver5338  Not sure where 4 million came from but I imagine it means lost from the workforce. So the roughly 1 million that fled (assuming all men), roughly 500k-700k sent into Ukraine, and maybe a few hundred thousand more from overall increase in military still put the figure under 2 million.

  1078.  @shayan_idk  From a source I'll link separately (youtube removes posts with links): - The US government has traditionally been the largest source of international food assistance to North Korea, supplying almost $800 million of food aid to the country. Almost all of this was flown through the UN World Food Programme – until Pyongyang’s decision a few years back to refuse to accept the WFP’s strict conditions led to a suspension of deliveries.

  1080.  @schwanish8799  “after USSR dissolved in 1991, China has been on borrowed time”. The WTO and west welcomed China a decade after. Huge deals were made. Relationship was mostly solid until Xi. Xi is trying To be the next MAO. Oppressive, cult figure personality, and closing the economy. He also stated camps of Uyghurs. Removed lots of rights. Is extremely xenophobic and made it more difficult for foreigners to live there. Increased threats on Taiwan. Is attempting to take South China Sea and East Sea. Siding with êvïl Russia. Removed term limits. Oppressed Hong Kong. Attacked India in a border clash. The list goes on — but yeah, they are innocent

Gdp was high because of the massive population but gdp per capita was a fraction of europe by 1800’s. Japan industrialized in 1800’s because their leaders were skilled. China in 1700’s and 1800’s was like Roman Empire in the final 2 centuries — a series of inept leaders leading to the decline.

  1089. Regarding the pivot to Asia, part of the pivot was a closer relationship with China: - Additional focus was placed on the region with the Obama administration's 2012 "Pivot to East Asia" regional strategy,[2] whose key areas of actions are: "strengthening bilateral security alliances; deepening our working relationships with emerging powers, including with China; engaging with regional multilateral institutions; expanding trade and investment; forging a broad-based military presence; and advancing democracy and human rights." and more - The "pivot" strategy, according to Clinton, will proceed along six courses of action: strengthening bilateral security alliances; deepening America's relationships with rising powers, including China; engaging with regional multilateral institutions; expanding trade and investment; forging a broad-based military presence; and advancing democracy and human rights

  1090.  @schwanish8799  and a lot of the issues around 2010 revolved around the fact china was supporting North Korea who would be working on a nuclear weapon and was threatening South Korea.

So why is that? Why don’t they have favorable opinions of Beijing?

  1115.  @schwanish8799  what are you going on about “either China is broken up or it becomes the most powerful”. Also, Beijing has no true Allies. Biden just said he would military defend Taiwan. Japan is increasing its defense spending and has subtlety hinted it would defend Taiwan. Japan, Taiwan and South Korea are working together along with the US to stop Beijing aggression and expansionist efforts. Vietnam is also allied with this group. Don’t forget Australia and New Zealand with India as well. Beijing is being contained because everyone knows is PRC is dangerous. Nobody wants a country that has con.centration camps and threading to invade a peaceful state like Taiwan to continue to bully people around.

  1116.  @schwanish8799  none of what I described will change until Beijing reversed course — stop the Xinjiang camps, stop threatening Taiwan , stop trying to steal the South China Sea, stop trying to silence everyone around the world that criticizes them, etc. They tried to silence Australia and Lithuania for small things (Lithuania made closer ties with Taiwan, Australia suggested there should be investigation into C0VID) .

  1122.  @tairanwang6119  it seems to me that your values are: 1. Limited rights such as no free speech 2. No free press because govt should control all info 3. Oppression of Hong Kong 4. Gèn.0cide of Uyghurs is good 5. Invasion of peaceful state is good So why are your values like this? Is this because your government told you this? And i wouldn’t call opposition to those 5 above items “western values”. South Korea, Japan and Taiwan also share my values on those items. Seems like it’s more about your authoritarian oppressive values

  1123.  @tairanwang6119  “I don’t support any gen.0cide” then literally repeats see See pee propaganda. Why do you trust what ur government says when the government doesn’t allow free press — no one to check your government is honest? Every single one of you 五毛 do the same thing — deny it happening, say population is rising, then say you have Uyghurs friends. No one believes you when you are repeating from the same playbook. And Uyghurs population rising because you are looking at a staring point well before it all began. The camps began in 2017 and in that same year birth rates for Uyghurs dropped and they did so even more in 2018. Birth rates of Uyghurs are now well below National average. Why be so dishonest and not start the population count in 2017? Even then, sudden drop in birth rates doesn’t decrease the population right away — it takes a few years

  1124.  @tairanwang6119  also, if there are no camps in Xinjiang, why are there many videos of Chinese officials preventing foreign journalists from getting near most of those camps? Lol, the facts and Chinese government actions prove you are wrong but I still want to see how you answer that — if there are no camps, why is China blocking foreign journalist from getting near them? One video even shows a journalist awoken at 1 am and harassed, next day tries to drive near some of the camps and a road block set up to stop him. Sounds like there are camps

Oh wait, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc don’t have concentration camps. Seems like it’s more of an issue with horrible CCP that you work for, wumao. Gitmo is bad but it’s 800 total people sent over 18 years and almost all were connected to terrorist groups. China has concentration camps that likely millions have been sent to and almost all were because they were simply Muslim . Of course Chinese wumao thinks 2 million and 800 are the same and of course Chinese wumao thinks innocent Muslims and Muslims caught in terrorism are the same since CCP propaganda says all Muslims are terrorists.

  1134.  @yulusleonard985  "most of his critics are online on Jiang Zemin owned platform like Alibaba or Tencent." And yet, you can't provide any evidence of protests IRL? Hmm....it's almost like the CCP would crush such a protest like killing thousands of protesters in 1989!! "When did I said China dont have concentration camps? I said they have all the right to have them." So they have concentration camps that have seen millions go to these camps and yet somehow, it's just like Taiwan, SK and Japan who don't have concentration camps.

  1135.  @yulusleonard985  Wumao, China can't be just like the other Asian countries when it's the only one with a massive concentration camp system, only one in east Asia (minus NK of course) with no free speech or free press nor reasonable human rights. If China is the only one with these problems, it's not a west vs East thing, it's China being a horribly oppressive and authoritarian regime unlike Taiwan, SK and Japan.

  1136.  @yulusleonard985  " Taiwan SK and Japan also used to be horrible oppressive authoritarian regime". Key word is USE to. You literally proved my point. Taiwan, SK and Japan moved on and no longer oppressive authoritarian regimes like China.

Also, South Korea didn't lose and they changed. Heck, even Vietnam has changed -- much more peaceful than CCP. Vietnam didn't lose. Wumao, none of this really has anything to do with your defense of China's oppression. You are just saying it's okay to have concentration camps and oppression because China wasn't beaten in a war (they were beaten by Japan but then the US came in and beat Japan to free CHina -- but wumaos can't admit they were beaten Japan and that US freed them)

  1139.  @yulusleonard985  " As for today liberalism killed more people than communism" unrelated to anything we talked about and communism killed tens of millions in China and tens of millinos in USSR and millions in Cambodia and millions in NK.

  1140.  @yulusleonard985  millions of commies killed in South Korea? Lol, North Korea is the one that invaded!! And you’re response to Xinjiang concentration camps is “there Was some terrorist attacks so it’s okay to culturally genocide and put in concentration camps mass number of Muslims”. And you’re defense for Oppressing HK is that since they were never truly a democracy, it’s okay to take away more of their rights? Wumao, GTFO.

  1141.  @yulusleonard985  " Yeah I know North Korea invide South Korea" good, so you know they are responsible for the millions that died from the war.

  1142.  @yulusleonard985  ". And wtf with 70 years or whatever? Problems happen all the time and they react accordingly" That's the problems with you wumaos -- you still think the world is like 1950 thus it's okay for China to act like it's 1950. The world has moved more and more towards peace but China is regression and wumaos defend it "because 1950's stuff happened!" "Most Jews killed by Nazi are mostly Hungarian, French, Italian and Russian. Maybe you ok since you like invasion." I have no idea the relevance of this. Nor have I said I support an invasion of China. However, you are defending China over it's threat to invade peaceful Taiwan. Defending China over it's attempt to 'invade' the south china sea and take it by force. Defending China on concentration camps of Muslims and a cultural genocide. Defending it by pointing to the 1950's and before. Essentially, your argument is that China is behaving like countries did 70+ years ago and that's why its okay to defend them even though the world has moved on to more peaceful policies and actions.

  1144.  @NathanJ2378  mostly agree. They are ineffective at CCP changing a behavior that already started. As I mentioned in the original, sources say that Putn didn’t expect severe sanctions nor the amount to weapons and support the west would provide Ukraine. Once he started the invasion, they won’t change. But had Putin known the extreme sanctions and unified response ahead of time, he likely would have avoided the invasion. He miscalculated

  1145.  @雷-t3j  thank you. Spot on. Sanctions don’t cause regime change but they weaken the state so they will have trouble doing more damage. It also serves to help deter others from similar actions because it’s something they have to consider. The only reason china doesn’t fully support Russia right now is they fear economic consequences — if the west dent signals they would not do anything economically against China, China would be providing material support to Russia. The 2014 sanctions did weaken Russia which blunted their capabilities in 2022

  1147.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  and if you don’t think China is not the side of Russia, just look at Chinas state media. Spreading the exact same message as Putin. China also signed an anti west alliance with Russia two weeks before the invasion. Only thing stopping China from providing material support is the threat of economic action against China.

  1148.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  US just sanctioned china on chips. Thousands of high ranking Americans designing Chinas chips are leaving and if you don’t think it’s a major issue for China, they have been crying loudly about those sanctions.

  1149.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  aggression from China and Russia is a sign of a weakness? Where did I say that? You: “similar to her diplomatic, strong-arm tactics by the party crowd in the west and get it going west on isn’t it?“. Well, are you staying that Ukraine and Taiwan are on par with Taliban or Assad in Syria? Diplomatic strong arming isn’t bad if it’s done on bad countries but you just suggested you support it when doing it on behalf of evil. Or you going to say Ukraine and Taiwan are horrible and must be strong armed and invaded?

  1150.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  "Iran's been under sanctions for ages. They're still helping the Russians," They have been heavily sanctioned only a few years since the nuclear issues. But they can only provide limited weapons to Russia, so you think a strong and healthy Iran would not help Russia???
    1
  1151.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  "ah the moralism." Well , then are you claiming that Taiwan and Ukraine are equal to taliban and Assad of Syria? Or do you agree that Russia and China are the ones terribly in the wrong here?
    1
  1152.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  that’s what supporters of terrible authoritarian regimes like Russia and China always say — refuse to weigh in on Russias and Chinas behavior and Refuse to make acknowledge that Ukraine and Taiwan are not remotely the same as Taliban and Assad and Saddam. There isn’t anything more black and white than Russia invading Ukraine being 100%. Yet China partnered up with Russia and has supported them in many ways. Really shows you a lot about those two and about you.
    1
  1153.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  Who cares what a pope did 1000 years ago. You repeat the same talking points of all those that defend the horrors of this world -- the oppressive authoritarian regimes. That's why you make suggestions that Ukraine and Taiwan are like the Taliban and Saddam but then refused to give details on why it's so. But then you will claim "I didn't make such comments" which would then suggest you do understand that say US invading Afghanistan is no where near on par with how truly wrong it would be for China to invade Taiwan or how so wrong it is that Russia invaded Ukraine.
    1
  1154.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  As for your fake concerns over Afghans, did 9/11 happen? Did AQ hide in Afghanistan and was protected by Taliban for several years? Did Taliban refuse to turn over AQ to the US after 9/11 and given the chance to prevent an invasion? The answer is YES to all of these. Any country able to invade would have invaded. US 2 years prior tried a different solutions and bombed AQ hidehouts in afghanistan but after 9/11 which was like the 5 major attack on the US from AQ, the US had no choice but to invade or continuing being attacked by AQ.

  1155.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  " it isn't about what he did, it's about what people like you do. " You mean hating evil while you support it? " - so you say, I don't." Then answer the question how ukraine and taiwan are equal to or worse than Taliban and Assad of Syria or whoever else. Why can't you answer that comment, Mao from Beijing?
    1
  1156.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  "9/11 killed 3000 people." And? They were attacked? Are you saying that if the US bombed China tomorrow and killed 3,000pcs, China can't respond? Come on, answer it!!
    1
  1157.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  AQ also attacked the US in 1993 world trade center (first time), attack on US base in Saudi Arabia 1995, another attack on US base in Saudi Arabia 1996, a major bombing of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania 1998, attack on US in Yemen 2000, plus 9/11 and an attempted bombing of US plane in Dec 2001. Also, many attacks on other countries as well including 2002 in Tunisia, 2002 Yemen, 2002 Bali Bombings, 2002 Mombasa attacks, 2003 Ridya compound bombings, 2003 casablanca bombings, 2003 marriot hotel bombing, etc.

  1158.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  I’m not justifying the crusades but you’re justifying conc camps of Uyghurs and attacking an innocent country like Ukraine and Taiwan

  1159.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  “ironically the Xinjiang crackdown is also due in large part to terrorism”. Home grown. US and Europe had home grown terrorism as well and they didn’t go around with conc camps and crimes against humanity on their population. Notice you didn’t answer what China would do if Taiwan was protecting terrorist that would kill thousands of in China. Made my point
    1
  1160.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  quarter of a million deaths? So you’re saying the US was in the wrong yo fight Japan after Japan killed 3,000 in Pearl Harbor? If you do things to start a war such as killing 3,000 people in Pearl Harbor or 9/11, then be prepared for the consequences of war. That’s why you won’t answer what China would do if a terrorist organization was operating from Taiwan killing thousands in China.

  1161.  @xXxSkyViperxXx  That's possible. This was perhaps the weakest video in a while -- not much in depth detail, very bland, nothing discussed that many already don't know, etc. And considering that 1/3 of the comments seem to be from Filipinos, it probably was just made quickly to get Filipino audience.

  1170. @agapp11able "It doesn't matter if "china staged videos" " It matters 100% because you used CCP videos and said that ASPI (and other western sources)) can't be trusted because ASPI may have made a mistake on one or two facilities out of nearly 400. Showing you CCP staging videos is proof that CCP has not just made a mistake but purposely lied on one facility thus your own logic indicates you should not accept anything from the CCP. But of course, you aren't interested in the facts so for you if the CCP has staged some videos, you will still believe the CCP videos while you will refuse to accept anything against the CCP.

  1179. @agapp11able are you saying you can use actual 100% state controlled propaganda that has been caught in lies? But you won’t accept pics and videos of any organization that receives funding from any other country but China? Are you saying you won’t accept a video of trump killing a hooker as evidence if the person recording is not a trump supporter?
    1
  1180. @agapp11able most importantly, you CLAIM ASPI was wrong on some of the 400 identified camps, no proof that they manufactured the pics and evidence they have provided. But we have actual evidence of CCP manufacturing fake evidence. What a world of difference. So let’s say 4 out of the 400 facilities identified by aspi are not camps, that’s still leaves 99%. And they didn’t manufacture the evidence — it would just be a mistake in their analysis. But CCP caught manufacturing evidence and staging videos shows they are purposely deceiving and can’t be trusted at all. There would be no reason to manufacture staged videos unless the accusations of concentration camps is true.

  1182. @agapp11able I just saw the copy paste from financial review on aspi. It’s an opinion piece — and it doesn’t even say aspi manufactured evidence. So because one person from an Australian publication has an issue with ASPI (without saying aspi manufacturers evidence), you think that means it’s okay to say nothing from ASPI can be trusted?

  1183. @agapp11able "So basically quoting statements from Australian senators = opinion piece? " You mean quoting one senator, Labor's Kim Carr? Who is a member or leader of the Socialist Left? And which in the article there was nothing about ASPI manufacturing evidence on Uyghur genocide? So because this leftist senator said he has concerns but never once gave evidence of ASPI manufacturing evidence, you believe that ASPI manufactures evidence?
    1
  1184. @agapp11able "I mean the concerns not just of Carr but others." Where did they prove ASPI manufctured evidence on Uyghur genocide??? The only thing I saw was about some list that Carr was upset but it had nothing to do with uyghurs. In fact, the article doesn't mention at all that Carr said anything about Uyghurs!! "If Australian government doesn't believe it" You mean one member of the current goverment said he has problem but never mentions Uyhgur genocide evidence and somehow that means that the whole government believes ASPI is lying about the uyghur genocide?
    1
  1185. @agapp11able "So Carr speaking on behalf of maintaing good relations with Australia's biggest trading partner " Now it makes sense -- he cares more about economic policies than Uyghurs. yeah, I agree -- he cares about the money more than human rights.

  1191. @agapp11able I don’t understand you? You made it clear that you’re a dishonest POS when you claimed you won’t accept content from that west by using excuses such as “it’s funded in part by the government” yet you literally used the CCP state CONTROLLED media as a source. This already indicates you are a wumao. But furthermore, in addition to CCP media you used grayzone and both of your sources have a history of actually manufacturing evidence and purposely lying. So what is clear is you are intent on using sources that lie and manufacture evidence and have been busted on it — while ignoring all other sources that are critical of CCP simply for funding coming in part from a government regardless of the content. So, why keep responding only to confirm you are Wumao by behaving as such?
    1
  1192. @agapp11able furthermore, to prove you are a Wumao, you made your own deal that I must answer 20+ questions before you could answer that one specific question that would shut your whole argument down. Who does that other than a Wumao while he actively uses CCP media as a source on an accusation against the CCP itself?
    1
  1193. @agapp11able the grayzone article “How national security mandarins groomed Pete Buttigieg and managed his future” literally said he was groomed as a cia asset. The article from foreign policy that was linked by media bias fact check discusses it. The article is titled “No, Pete Buttigieg Is Not a CIA Asset”
    1
  1194. @agapp11able so you use CCP media which is funded and full controlled by CCP for propaganda as a a source while refusing any source that receives funding from any other government? Is that not true? And you use grayzone which is ranked about as bad as possible by mediabiasfactcheck? The say grayzone that said Pete B was being groomed as a cia asset? Max Blumenthal claims that Bill Gates ran a Covid simulation before it occurred…is that true?
    1
  1195. @agapp11able so, why do you use such obvious bias and fake news sources? Mediabiasfactcheck gives NYT, BBC, NPR, etc far better score than your sources. Why are you using the worst rated sources per mediabiasfactcheck?

  1198. @agapp11able NYT is very bias because you said so? So bias they tried taking down presidents like Trump? They busted Biden on his lie the drone strike killed a terrorist in Afghanistan?

Do you think it’s reasonable to use Trump Controlled media to defend trump on accusation against trump? I do think it’s reasonable to at least consider the evidence of a source if it’s not about accusations to those that own the source and if that source is transparent— such as providing you details of their funding and making all their data open and available for others to see.

  1205. @agapp11able “we must all sources” but your primary source is the CCP media itself. That would be like using trump controlled media as the primary source of anything related to accusations against trump. Only a wumao would defend using as a primary source the CCPs own media when the topic is accusations against the CCP. That’s is why you were unable to find any other footage of that school that the CCP supposedly debunked isn’t their propaganda video. Very odd that the only footage of the school with kids is that one video they put out where the only kids you see is in a classroom that could be anywhere. And when they filmed outside, not a kid in sight.

  1206. @agapp11able https://youtu.be/nbBsh46aSz4 Video evidence of how the CCP prevents journalists from investigating in Xinjiang. If China is innocent, why aren’t they letting these journalists actually investigate?

  1208. @agapp11able I wanted to point out a tactic that is very obvious you are a Wumao. You accept CCP media as one of your sources when the topic is accusations against the CCP but you outright denie the use of any source that receives any funding from any other country. That is 100% evidence you are a wumao.
    1
  1209. @agapp11able you: “okay to use the accused state propaganda news as a source if it’s the CCP — not okay to use any others source that receives funding from a government”. Wumao confirmed.

  1210. @agapp11able you: “okay to use the accused state propaganda news as a source if it’s the CCP — not okay to use any others source that receives funding from a government”. Wumao confirmed.
    1
  1211. @agapp11ablelol, so you acknowledged you lied and would only accept CCP media. I am willing to accept media from any source if they are not a propaganda media for the very accused. So I accept media from almost all nations that have free press — you only accept CCP media. That is CCP wumao confirmed
    1
  1212. @agapp11able besides you admitting you only accept CCP media, it’s interesting you couldn’t defend again the videos showing how the CCP prevents anyone from investigating in Xinjiang. So not only do you use CCP media, but you also support the CCP from allowing anyone to investigate in Xinjiang. Just like a wumao. At least my aspi source makes all their information public and their funding public. And NYT as well. And bbc. Etc
    1
  1213. @agapp11able my preconceived bias? You mean by not valuing information from the ccp propaganda media after they were shown to stage videos and after videos show they prevent any journalists from investigating in Xinjiang?
    1
  1214. @agapp11able you’re saying it doesn’t matter that ASPI is fully transparent with their funding and with all the evidence (it’s all available)….but you refuse to accept it since it’s funded by a government that isn’t your CCP? The same CCP caught staging videos? The same CCP that prevents foreign journalist from investigating in Xinjiang? The same CCP that controls all news and information in China? BBC funding is literally as transparent as it gets — it’s paid by British taxes you dolt. Wow, you are really this dishonest. And NYT is for profit organization with sources from circulation, advertising and subscription costs. You really are a wumao dolt
    1
  1215. @agapp11able I took the word of aspi? You mean I saw the literal evidence — pics, documents, etc. They make it public. But you take the word of the CCP — that was caught staging videos and caught preventing foreign journalists from investigating in Xinjiang. How can you take the word of a group literally caught lying on this very subject and literally preventing anyone else from investigating? You going to deny that the CNN videos I sent?
    1
  1216. @agapp11able You going to deny that the CNN videos I sent? What you believe it if there were other news organizations that also have video of the CCP preventing them from investigating? Or you confirming your are a wumao?
    1
  1217. @agapp11able you’re saying the videos didn’t show the CCP blocking journalists from going near sites they wanted to investigate and didn’t show the journalists being harassed and followed and threaten to be arrested?! Wumao, you get 50 cents for each lie? Did you watch the videos?
    1
  1218. @agapp11able blurry satellite images that show high walls like a prison and watch towers? And GPS coordinates. And about 400 locations — of which the CCP only out out propaganda videos on maybe 4 of the sites — and one of them they were caught by ASPI staging it. If your girlfriend accused you of cheating on her 400 times and you prove she was wrong 4 of those times — aren’t you still cheating on her? And imagine those 4 times you staged a video to look like you were at home that day. You never gave any details of what was wrong with the ASPI evidence that China staged a video
    1
  1219. @agapp11able you going to discredit the aspi evidence of China staging videos without giving specifics why it’s wrong? Typical wumao. You going say videos of journalist being harassed, threatened with jail, and being blocked from access to key sites isn’t evidence of the CCP blocking investigations? Typical wumao. You’re going to argue that bbc and NYT don’t have their funding transparent when bbc is paid by British taxes and NYT is from subscriptions and ads and all of this is easy to find? Typical wumao. Going to not accept any evidence from any organization that receives any funds from a government BUT will accept the CCP media — typical wumao.

  1220. @agapp11able they were blocked miles before they could get there. And what law says you can’t take pics of government buildings — there are plenty of them online and I took many myself. You can’t take pics of police, military and national security spots—- so You are also admitting these concentration camps are government buildings and it schools. Lol!!! Wumao accidentally confirmed those buildings are concentration wand not schools.
    1
  1221. @agapp11able regarding funding and trust, I already said I would consider any and all sources even if funded by government— but would not accept news that has repeatedly manufactured lies or has prevented others from actually reporting. CCP media has been caught numerous times manufacturing evidence and outright lying plus they are preventing others from investigating. Bbc news does not work as propaganda for the government thus they are not repeatedly manufacturing news and outright lying nor do they ban others from investigating. But from those two, you choose the one repeatedly lying, serving only as propaganda for the government, and not allowing any investigations.
    1
  1222. @agapp11able also, what does “not allowed to film government buildings”have to do with CCP officials waking up reporters at 1 am to harass them? Or follow them around as soon as they land?
    1
  1223. @agapp11able I found no such law saying you couldn’t take pictures of schools in China. Lol. You have admitted now they are concentration camps!!
    1
  1224. @agapp11able huh, wumao lied that it’s illegal to take pics of government buildings and lies it’s illegal to take pics of schools. You accidentally confirmed they were not schools, just wow, worse CCP bot ever.
    1
  1225. @agapp11able ok, so the ASPI identified facilities are no longer schools? They are prisons? So then why lie and say they were schools and other similar type of buildings?

  1226. @agapp11able ok, so the ASPI identified facilities are no longer schools? They are prisons? So then why lie and say they were schools and other similar type of buildings?

  1227. @agapp11able “i never said they weren’t schools” and “they are prisons”. Make up your mind — are they prisons or schools? And source that cnn was going to regular prisons? Which prisons? You just made it up — name the prison or give me the coordinates. Where do you think they got the coordinates of the facilities?

  1228. @agapp11able also, where is your source that people can’t take pics of Chinese prisons from outside?

  1229. @agapp11able I’m sorry, are you going to provide a source that it’s ilegal to take pics of prisons in China? Did you make that up just like you made up that China owns most of the US debt? And like you made up the lie that cnn video didn’t show them being harassed and followed by CCP officials even being disturbed at 1 am?

  1230. @agapp11able I’m sorry, are you going to provide a source that it’s ilegal to take pics of prisons in China? Did you make that up just like you made up that China owns most of the US debt?

  1231. @agapp11able wow, so no sources that you aren’t allowed to take pics of government buildings nor prison. Then you lie that China has most of the US debt, providing no sources. And you only response is you saw it in weibu? Can you try harder to confirm your a wumao?
    1
  1232. @agapp11able so no source that it’s illegal to take pics of government buildings? Nor any source that China has most of the US debt? And you claim the CCP wasn’t harassing the reporters when they followed them everywhere and woke them up at 1am in their Hotel? Wow.

  1234. @agapp11able spruce from statista? The below is literally what I already posted and it was from STATISTA. You Wumaos lie so much: - foreign countries held a total of 7.55 trillion U.S. dollars in U.S. treasury securities as of September 2021. Of the total 7.55 trillion held by foreign countries, Japan and Mainland China held the greatest portions. China held 1.05 trillion U.S. dollars in U.S. securities. Japan held 1.3 trillion U.S. dollars worth. - In 2021, the United States had a total public national debt of 28.43 trillion U.S. dollars, an amount that has been rising steadily, particularly So STATISTA says Japan holds the most US debt owned by foreign country. China holds only 15% of foreign owned debt and 3% of total U.S. debt. So once again, you lied. Proved yourself to be a wumao
    1
  1235. @agapp11able you made a mistake? You lied before and lied again with the same lie that China has most of the US debt. You tried the same lie twice after being caught — a sign of a Wumao and a dishonest person.
    1
  1236. @agapp11able we had gone over Statista before. I have already given you their source and another source giving the same findings. You chose to use the same lie after being caught lying.
    1
  1237. @agapp11able “I gave you my search times”. What does that mean? You never even provided any quotes from your own source while I provided you TWICE the quotes from Statista and once before I gave a different source all saying that Same thing — China doesn’t have majority of US debt let alone the top holder of US debt. You lied…TWICE. Actually more than that, you have said that lie many times. Why not even quote from the statista source you supposedly saw?
    1
  1238. @agapp11able you spelled out word for word exact search term? But you never quoted from you own article what you found — because you lied. Statista never said China holds majority of US debt. And I had corrected you a couple times before and you AGAIN declared china holds majority of US debt. It’s obvious that you purposely lie — and after being corrected, you will use the Sam else later hoping people forget. Just like a wumao.
    1
  1239. @agapp11able Of course you didn't actually open the article. "Why do you keep focusing on this? " Because you used the same lie multiple times even after being corrected thus demonstrating you aren't interested in an honest debate. Just like you lied that CNN wasn't being harassed by the Chinese government in a video showing them being woken up at 1am in their hotel, followed everywhere from the moment they arrived at the airport, and being blocked on roads leading to the concentration camps. And you also lied that one can't take pictures of government buildings (I have taken many). The lies just go on and on -- and your lie on the "China has most of the US debt" even after being corrected just perfectly illustrates how you shill.
    1
  1240. @agapp11able I'm not ignorant of the trolling methods you have used. It's a typical strategy of a troll -- you state a lie and won't back it up, then move to another lie. Sprinkle some truths in there so the lies appear like truths. along the way, make some wildly horrible arguments like "I support the use of CCP media but not media funded in part or whole by any other country" and defend your position on that with even wilder claims. If you keep repeating the same lie and wildish claim, you believe it starts to feel like the truth. At the same time you are doing all of this, you will ignore key questions that you know you aren't capable of answering without proving you are extremely bias and have no interest in the truth. For example, you refused to specify what exactly ASPI got wrong when they documented how China stages a video but you just dismissed the source because it's funded in part by the Australian government but you also were using Chinese state funded PROPOGANDA media at the same time. You just try to skip over the hypocrisy of you dismissing any source that gets funding from any government while you blindly accept Chinese state propaganda media.
    1
  1241. @agapp11able " its not a lie tho" But it was incorrect and you were quoted the actual facts yet you REFUSED to accept it then later repeated the same lie. Either you have the IQ of a 7 yr old or you lied. I previously gave you statista quotes and another source and quotes but yet you kept doubling down on your lie without ever even quoting from it. "why do you keep citing ASPI when theyve been caught lieing? " And there we have more of the same. Your claim they lied is a CCP media. I gave you evidence of ASPI showing how CCP stages video and you said you cant trust it (and refused to give details on what ASPI got wrong on the CCP staging videos) because it's funded by Australia -- all while you used Chinese state funded and fully controlled propoganda. You also lied the CNN video doesn't show harrasement even though it literally shows the reporter being awoken at 1am to show his ID and being followed from the moment he arrived in Xinjiang.
    1
  1242. @agapp11able Other common troll action -- after you lied and lied, refuse to acknowledge your lies, pile on many more pieces of information and refuse to acknowledge your lies --- you then make outrageous demands like "Is that why you still havent answered the "20 questions" Typical troll tactic. You refused to acknowledge any of your lies, refused to admit CCP staged video or refused to show how ASPI was wrong with the evidence of staged videos - then you expect me to answer all 20 questions as if you are trustworthy and would behave after those 20 questions are ansered? I already answered perhaps the first dozen of them!
    1
  1243. @agapp11able you’re thanking me for continuing to show your troll tactics?! That’s odd.
    1
  1244. @agapp11able so there about a dozen sources showing China staging videos yet you want to continue to use CCP staged videos? And there are dozens and dozens of sources saying that you wrong that “China holds majority of US debt” but it’s only 3% of the debt and 2nd in foreign owned debt. You also never even provided evidence that ASPI lied that wasn’t from the CCP.. but hey, let me answer those remaining 8 questions of the 20 questions which you will truly then behave normal and not like a troll afterwards
    1
  1245. @agapp11able and the very fact you didn’t even bother to read your own link from statista just proves you aren’t interested in the facts — you just want to find any source that defends your CCP. For example, how the hell do you come across those random tweets from obvious wumaos?
    1
  1246. @agapp11able "China and Japan hold most US debt. The fact stands" You literally said China holds MOST of the US debt. You lied. You were given the sources before then you repeated the lie. So why lie?

  1247. @agapp11able ​ "China and Japan hold most US debt. The fact stands" You literally said China holds MOST of the US debt. You lied. You were given the sources before then you repeated the lie. So why lie?
    1
  1248. @agapp11able you were wrong. Then you pretended to google it and even if it said China holds more debt than Japan, it wouldn’t have said “China holds most of the US debt” because it’s only 3% of total debt. It’s not even majority of foreign owned debt. You were corrected on your lie and later use the same lie. And here you defend your lie by twisting to “Japan plus China are…”. So, what search terms did you use that google supposedly said China holds most of the Us debt?
    1
  1249. @agapp11able I didn’t get the same results as you did so you lied what google said. It never said China has majority of US debt. Why lie? Also, you’re not a smart person. Not remotely. US debt is about $30 trillion — the $1.3 trillion is the budget DEFICIT. That amount goes into the debt. Wow, I can’t Believe you don’t know the difference between debt and deficit.
    1
  1250. @agapp11able i put the same terms you used. And why did you lie that US debt was $1.3 trillion?! The debt owned by China is around 3-4% of total debt yet you lied again that’s it’s $1.1t out of $1.3t
    1
  1251. @agapp11able $1.1 trillion is approximately 3% of the total US debt. Why are you lying? Who cares if it’s just below Japan — you said China holds the majority of the US debt when in fact it’s just about 3-4% of the debt. You also lied once again when saying “Japan and China hold most of the US debt”. They hold $2.4trillion out of nearly $30 trillion. About 8% of the US debt.

  1252. @agapp11able https://youtu.be/WDwYdzIhQdk at 5min 18 sec, they show how multiple paid CCP YouTubers are sent to xinajing for staged videos. Or just a coincidence that multiple paid ccp YouTubers happened to go to the same place and time in Xinjiang. Pure coincidence!!

  1261.  @realname4401 UN pestimates and projections of China's working age population (15-64) also show China peaked around 2015 and it's been flat about 1 billion people in working age since 2015 and projected to stay flat throught about 2028 then it will nose dive and be only 800 billion by 2040. That's a 20% drop in working age population between now and 2040. I'm also certain that UN estimate was from before China admitted that their population declined and research is showing China's population may have started declining about 5 years ago. The Lowy Institute also measured "Chinese Productivity Growth". The graph I saw was for "Total factor productivity; smoothed trend". Total factor productivity is a measure of productive efficiency in that it measures how much output can be produced from a certain amount of inputs. They show that China's total factor productivity was around 2.5% in early 80's when they opened up, peaked around 5% in mid 80's, gradually declined to about 4.5% by late 90's then has been falling since then and from about 2015-2020 it's been around 1.7%. Another metric is "Capital needed to generate $1 of GDP growth in China". 1991-2007, it averaged (adjusted for inflation) $3.90 to generate $1 of GDP growth. In 2019, it was nearly $8. The point is that China has a lot of debt that is going to hinder growth and more debt isn't going to have anywhere near the amount of return as it did in the past. This is why Lowy Institute said: - China will likely experience a substantial long-term growth slowdown owing to demographic decline, the limits of capital-intensive growth, and a gradual deceleration in productivity growth. - Even with continued broad policy success, our baseline projections suggest annual economic growth will slow to about 3% by 2030 and 2% by 2040, while averaging 2–3% overall from now until 2050. - China would still become the world’s largest economy, but it would never enjoy a meaningful lead over the US and would remain far less prosperous and productive per person even by mid-century. That was from March 2022.

  1264.  @pepelepew1227  Technically the subsidies are for Foxconn, the actual manufacturer of Iphones. New York Times has an article on it titled "How hidden tax breaks, perks created 'iPhone City' in China". Nikkei Asia has an article "Chinese subsidies for Foxconn and Want Want spark outcry in Taiwan" and describes not only subides by Foxconn, but other Taiwanese companies with shops in China. Nikkei Asia article describes: - Foxconn, the Taiwanese Apple supplier whose China-friendly founder is making a bid for the presidency, and media owner Want Want are among major companies from the island receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies from Beijing, - The grants to these companies, made over several years, amount to a significant portion of net profit generated over the same period; more than half, in the case of one Foxconn subsidiary, 12% for Uni-President China and 11% for Want Want

  1267.  @2KSnSLifestyle  Long story short, you made up a lot of things, didn't even provide any facts that would argue against what I was actually debating, and China's growth is shrinking so fast that they will never get anywhere near Japan or South Korea in GDP per capita, incomes, and wealth per capita. And US is even higher than Japan and SK on that so China will be way behind the US.

  1269.  @Rex-ww4cw  And while China is spending massive amounts more to try to increase GDP, they are also having lots of problems with tax receipts. They relied very heavily on housing market for a large share of the government revenues and it's becoming more difficult to raise that money. "Analysts estimate China’s outstanding government debts surpassed 123 trillion yuan ($18 trillion) last year, of which nearly $10 trillion is so-called “hidden debt” owed by risky local government financing platforms that are backed by cities or provinces." "Bloomberg cited official data in a Feb. 27 report as saying that at least 17 of China's 31 provinces and municipalities are facing severe fiscal deficits, with local borrowing exceeding 120% of income, which the Ministry of Finance set as a “warning level” for local government debt in 2020." "Guizhou, with a population of nearly 40 million, recently issued a rare public appeal to the central government for assistance, despite warnings from Beijing in January that there would be no bailouts, sparking fears that it could be the first Chinese province ever to go bankrupt."

  1270. ​ @ASK-ko9qx  In addition to my other posts, from Reuters: - China's factory activity declined for a third straight month in June and weakness in other sectors deepened, official surveys showed on Friday, adding pressure for authorities to do more to shore up growth as demand falters at home and abroad. - The readings initially pushed the yuan to a seven-month low and the Australian dollar Also from Bloomberg: - Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimates China’s total government debt is about $23 trillion, a figure that includes the hidden borrowing of thousands of financing companies set up by provinces and cities. - Most of Mainland China Exceeds Official Threshold for High Debt Risks - the bigger worry is that local governments will have to make painful spending cuts or divert money away from growth-boosting projects to continue repaying their debt - Problems are evident in other cities as well. Shangqiu, a city of 7.7 million people in China’s central Henan province, made headlines recently after almost shutting down its only bus service. In Wuhan and Guangzhou, proposed cuts to pensioners’ medical benefits prompted rare street protests earlier this year. Civil servants in wealthy cities like Shanghai are reportedly having their pay slashed. In Guizhou province, officials have begged Beijing for a bailout.

  1295. @Marek Cracovia I literally said I wasn’t the one the first brought it up. That was my whole point. Gnomes like u will just say what you want regardless of facts. I even stated “I didn’t mention Barbados unless someone else brought it up first”. So I’m telling you that if it’s in my comment, i was addressing someone who brought it up.

  1300.  @nobodyspecial4702  Two studies have confirmed what observers of the Jones Act have known for years — that the century-old federal maritime law has long been harmful to Puerto Rico’s economy. One of the studies, conducted by John Dunham & Associates, found that the Jones Act has prevented the creation of 13,250 jobs and $1.5 billion in annual economic growth, representing $1.1 billion in higher prices, $337.3 million in wages, and $106.4 million in lost tax revenues. The other, conducted by Advantage Business Consulting, looked specifically at U.S. territory’s food industry and estimated that the Jones Act equaled a 7.2 percent tax on food and beverages alone, or about $367 million extra for island residents. “Individually, families pay $300 more or $107 per person for food and beverages,” said ABC economist Vicente Feliciano.

It ask documentations for everyone but then only allows Christians and Hiindus the chance to apply for citizenship if they are unable to provide their documents. There LITERALLY videos of Muslims who are going to court right now because they are unable to provide the documents. The most recent video I've seen is Vice News ""India Is Stripping Muslims of their Homes and Rights". Here is their summary: - The Hindu Nationalist government is evicting thousands of Muslims from their ancestral homes in Northeast India. Many are accused of being illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh and must prove their citizenships in tribunals, but have nothing left to pay the legal fees for the hearings. And they are building massive camps to house these Muslims that they will strip of their rights.

  1308.  @anmolmonga1933  “they can easily prove their citizenship” and yet millions of non Muslims and Muslims don’t have it. But it’s only the Muslims that will kept away and won’t be allowed to apply for citizenship. - The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 was passed by the Parliament of India on 11 December 2019. It amended the Citizenship Act, 1955 by providing a pathway to Indian citizenship for persecuted religious minorities from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who are Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis or Christians, and arrived in India before the end of December 2014.[3][4] The law does not grant such eligibility to Muslims from these Muslim-majority countries.[5][6][7] The act was the first time that religion had been overtly used as a criterion for citizenship under Indian law and attracted global criticism

    1
  1313.  @anmolmonga1933  Yet, there are literally videos showing both Muslima and non-Muslims who have documents showing they were in India as a child and documents of their parents in India before they were born. However, they don't have the proper official documents so they are in court. The difference is the Muslims in those stories are going to be evicted while the non-muslims will be allowed to stay. You didn't even bother to watch the youtube vidoes I linked showing these issues because you have no intererst in the truth - only to evict as many muslims as India can.

  1314.  @anmolmonga1933  "everyone has a aadhar card in India or bank card. There is a 100 percent coverage." You can't even stick to the truth. I found the following from an Indian Newspaper: - 95% of adults and 75% of children are enrolled for the biometric ID, except in Assam and Meghalaya. - Just 5% of adults (or an estimated 28 million Indians) don’t have Aadhaar but the proportion is higher among minority Christians and Muslims, So nearly 30 million Indians don't have AADHAR card and it's mostly people in Assam & Meghalaya and Muslims who are in those 30 millions.

The reason so many were against a visit without an actual investigation is exactly what a Vumao like you is doing here: - “The High Commissioner’s visit has been characterized by photo opportunities with senior government officials and manipulation of her statements by Chinese state media, leaving an impression that she has walked straight into a highly predictable propaganda exercise for the Chinese government. - Given the various restraints imposed, including COVID-19 restrictions, Bachelet has rightly acknowledged that this visit was not an ‘investigation’. But she should push for it to be a springboard to more meaningful actions and investigations by independent human rights experts in the near future. You have just confirmed you work for the CCP.

  1330. Taiwan is treated by the international community as a country even if not recognized. It’s not recognized by the international community because doing so would upset big evil baby PRC. The reason taiwan doesn’t try to openly be recognized as an independent country is because big evil baby PRC has said they will attack Taiwan if they did. And China did just that sending missiles near Taiwan after Taiwan met with US congress recently. And if you don’t think Taiwan functions already like a country, why didn’t Taiwan pay taxes to China? Why does Taiwan have trade negotiations with China? Why does Taiwan have their own money, currency and government?

The same person is in charge of Venezuela was a big fault of their situation with the rest of the blame going towards his successor that hand picked him. Under Chavez the government began to nationalize more things and usually putting their friends in charge which leads to very corrupt and inefficient industries. Oil exploration dropped, oil production became more inefficient, and Chavez kept spending and spending while the oil prices were high. So when prices dropped, not only didn't chavez save money but he hadn't used the oil earnings to actually improve the workforce and business environment. With no money and no other economy but oil, dropping oil prices mostly under Maduro lead to lower government revenue and higher unemployment -- and the government kept trying to buy votes so they started printing money. Then Maduro decided to control prices which is what turned high inflation to hyperinflation and lead to mass starvation where in one year the average Venezuelan lost about 11kg or 25 pounds of weight!

So odd to say that if the world cut trade with China in half it would hurt the world more than hurt China. Why would you make such a horrible argument?

  1381.  @ssrbgangimaribotan6thofthe12  I’ll dumb down an analogy to make my point. Imagine 10 counties each with 20 units and an 11th country (China). Let’s assume each of those 10 countries 4 units each with China so China is worth 40 units (4x10 countries). Let’s assume that those 10 countries ban all trade with China and they fall to 16 units each per country (20-4) but China goes from 40 units to ZERO. Who suffers the most? China does. And those 10 countries can make up for some of that 4 units per country that use to go to China by increasing trade with each other. China will have zero partners to trade so no way of making up the 40 units they lost.

  1406.  @小马-q4u  Vumao, how are you? Denying the g8nocide of Uyghurs? Or defending it because Native Americans also had a g8nocide 150 years ago? How weak is ur argument when you defend something today by saying “well, it happened to others 150 years ago!!”
    1
  1407.  @小马-q4u  uS g8nocide of natives 150 years is “facts” because the US admitted it. China is like Germany during 1930’s, they aren’t admitting it. What facts do you want? There is so much out there. Xinjiang police files of a few weeks ago show mass number of detainees, evidence of torture, and even discussed how they will shoot anyone trying t to leave. Funny, these are supposed to be vocational schools but the leaked files show it’s camps and they are forced to be there or will be killed. Also there is evidence 2/3 of mosques being destroyed or damaged in Xinjiang. And 380 identified camps all built in the past 5 or so years. Forced labor as well. Forced sterilization. The list goes on. So how have you not heard of all this evidence?
    1
  1408.  @小马-q4u  “still keep doing it”. You’re talking about Chinas g8nocide of Uyghurs? So you admit they are still doing it?
    1
  1409.  @小马-q4u  you’re also repeating the same Vumao talking points saying the population is growing this no g8nocide. First, per UN definition of g8nocide, you don’t need a population drop. Second, since the g8nocide started in 2017, the birth rates have plummeted to well below national average so their population will decrease over time. Why again did you bring up population increasing? And why do you say about everything I mentioned from mass detention of innocent Uighurs, torture, and and that the camps are not vocational schools? Why won’t you answer to that evidence??
    1
  1410.  @小马-q4u  what are you even trying to accomplish here? Are u paid? You refuse to talk about the evidence of torture, mass detention, all the camps identified, the practice of destroying or damaging most mosques in Xinjiang, etc? So minorities have some type of protected status and that makes it okay to detain millions and torture most of of the detainees and use many for forces labor?
    1
  1411.  @小马-q4u  lol, typical — you just ignore everything. Did you look up “Xinjiang police files”? No you didnt. What about “amnesty international Uyghurs”? They also document the mass torture. So your point is that you will defend your CCP by simply ignoring all the evidence?
    1
  1412.  @小马-q4u  r u getting paid for this? Why waste your time typing all that if you are just confirming you will ignore all evidence then repeat the CCP talking points? What vocational schools do you know that have security fences and shoot to kill if anyone tries to leave? Clearly your CCP lied they were vocational schools

    1
  1416.  @raymonlandry228  many public transportation makes money but even those that don’t, $1 trillion in debt and growing is a rather large number.

You are probably going to tell me that China also was right to start the genocide and concentration camps of Uyghurs.

  1428.  @tuesdaysgone2379  wumao, how does you acknowledging at least $700 billion debt and RAPIDLY growing on HSR help your argument? Considering you defending China for concentration camps and genocide of Muslims, no surprise you would defend China here.

  1429.  @p46709394  "There is no concentration camp in xinjiang" Wumao, you just confirmed you are a paid CCP shill. What sources do you use on the issue of genocide and camps in Xinjiang? Also, typical Wuamo -- trying to compare GITMO with 700 terrorist in a prison to China sending millions of innocent Muslims to concentration camps. What's more, 700 or a million? What's worse, innocent person sent to camp or terrorist sent to camp? Now give me your sources for Xinjiang genocide or admit your a paid shill.

  1430.  @p46709394  how does one sign up to be a paid CCP shill? You clearly are one if you argued that a good source on Xinjiang genocide is a YouTuber that is a regular on Chinese state media and producing content for CCP state media

  1431.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  lol, so by your logic that HSR in China is better because China has faster growing economy, you would argue that concentration camps and genocide of Muslims in China have also helped Chinas economy.

Even if you believe the 3.9% gdp data (likely over estimated which is why they delayed it), the details show gdp is being propped up by massive government spending. It’s unsustainable and they are spending inefficient on infrastructure that isn’t really needed. Their debt is rising rapidly, stock market crashing, belt and road loans have several countries that won’t be able to pay back, demographic crisis, banking crisis, and a housing crisis that the Chinese government is spending lots of money from collapsing and it keeps getting worse. Stop working for Chinese government and get a new job.

  1453.  @pepelepew1227  " poor people in financial trouble dont go around lending others money at 2% interest." What are you talking about? The Chinese loans for belt and road initiative? Those loans are FOR Chinese construction projects so it comes back to China. What can't you stick to honesty and facts? Are you still going to deny the demographic crisis? Deny that 70% of China's wealth is in housing and housing prices are dropping and government is having to bailout the industry and still on brink of collapse? Deny that foreign investment in the country is shrinking? Deny that China's economic growth is no longer high growth and appears to now be a little above world average? Deny China's growth at this economic stage (gdp per capita) is half what South Korea and Japan and I believe Taiwan had at the same economic stage?
    1
  1454.  @pepelepew1227  My point is that with all the issues China has (banking, demographic, housing, falling foreign investments, etc) and economic forecast, China does not appear to be getting anywhere near South Korea and Japan and taiwan on per capita level of wealth and incomes. Taiwan, SK and Japan had a better long term growth plan after all.

  1455.  @pepelepew1227  "china already have taiwan and sk's per capita income in some cities". LOL!!! That's not how it works! But even the richest cities like Shanghain fall a bit behind Taiwan and well behind SKorea and Japan on GDP per capita and well behind Taiwan when adjusted for PPP. So basically the richest 3 or 4 cities are poorer than the average of the country of Taiwan!

  1456.  @pepelepew1227  "taiwan sk japan hasnt grown much in the last 10 years and their growth towards developed economies were under military rule." They reached upper income and growth becomes more difficult. China is finding it much harder and they are just in middle income!! How can you can say South Korea hasn't grown much in the past 10 years when their GDP has increased 90% between 2009 and 2021??
    1
  1457.  @pepelepew1227  "why china hasnt crashed after 15 years of doom and gloom?" Yes, because a few people before said that having an economy rely on so much housing construction would eventually backfire then it means it can't ever happen --- even as China's government in the past year has spent over $100 billion to prop up the real estate market and home prices continue to drop. But sure, no housing crisis in China!

Are you allowed to acknowledge that China has spent over $100b to keep housing market afloat? Are you allowed to acknowledge that prices are falling? Are you allowed to acknowledge that evergrande collapse and needed to be bailout?

  1460.  @pepelepew1227  “Chinas has beaten America in ppp right”. You mean TOTAL ppp. We are talking per capita. And Chinas gdp is fake. Look up economists J. Vernon Henderson, Adam Storeygard and David N. Weil. They did research and found Chinas government cited gdp is likely 2x higher than actual. - Owyang and Shell noted that these researchers created a dataset based on information from the satellites and used it to estimate GDP in countries with low-quality data. In particular, the researchers estimated the change over a 14-year period as well as annual changes in economic activity for 188 countries from 1992-2008. - One way to assess the quality of Chinese economic data is to look at the difference between the growth rate of real GDP reported by the government and the estimated growth from 1992 to 2006 using the night-lights data,” Owyang and Shell said. They noted that official statistics reported that real GDP growth in China was about 122 percent over that period. In contrast, the night-lights data predicts that growth was 57 percent.

  1461.  @pepelepew1227  we are only talking about per capita because that’s all that matters. You lost when you try to make it about Tito’s gdp lol.

  1462.  @pepelepew1227  do you know what ppp and per capita mean?

Cite it. And how does that change sk taiwan and Japan?

  1463.  @pepelepew1227  today I learned, South Korea and Taiwan under Japanese occupation where themselves plundering others for 200 years! Totally makes sense! And let’s not forget that before china got whipped, they were plundering Tibet and Xinjiang in the 1700’s. Then they get upset when they get plundered 50-100 years later.

  1464.  @余政彥-v6u  Except it's now proven that China is building lots of infrastructure and rail that isn't needed. They are doing so to try to increase the GDP rather than building them because they make sense. China is going heavily in debt and it's rising fast! The economic return on investment for each dollar spent on infrastructure in China is now less than half what it was a decade ago. That is a sign of bad projects.

  1467.  @hedgehog3180  addressing the issue way before it arises is a horrible solution when you can use traditional rail to address the issue now for a fraction of the cost. This is bad money management. Oh, and China does need more / better traditional rail. That’s is why they have some 30,000 km of traditional rail planned. They could have built that first before many of these HSR routes.

  1471.  @midimusicforever  they needed financial support because they were a country of only 3.5 million people at that the time. The size of a city.

  1515. Long story short, China is basically buying diplomatic support so those nations and others who want to do business with China stay quiet or defend china on Xinjiang concentration camps, Hong Kong oppression, their attempts to steal the South China Sea from its neighbors with fake islands they build, and potentially an invasion Or attack on Taiwan.

  1523.  @lc7583  The constitution of Taiwan include mainland China, I guess it belongs to Taiwan? The rest of your argument is that as long as China keeps saying what it says, whatever China wants China should get. >The countries divided by war after World War II included Germany, Vietnam, China Korea Yes, and would support South Korea invading North Korea, China invading Taiwan, and in 1989 West Germany invading East Germany. >because China is still able to assert its sovereignty It's sovereignty over the mainland...like Taiwan has over Taiwan. This is an odd comment you made about sovereignty -- you just made an argument to defend Taiwan's sovergnty. Taiwan has it's own government, it's own deals, it's own military, and other governments when wanting to deal with Taiwan don't make deals with China but talk and make deals with Taiwan.

Economics Explained and Wendovers Productions plus Polymatter have all discussed this issue and said China managed HSR poorly with their intent to try to show off to the world. If you saw the video (I have doubts you did), they also discussed much more affordable HSR but China ignored those options because they are intent on trying to demonstrate they are richer than they actually are. It's why China has built some of the tallest buildings in the world.

  1549.  @Husper7  To summarize -- u say u don't trust govt media but ur positions are exactly in line with them.

U arent honest in saying media in west is equal to Beijing where all info is what the govt wants.

  1554.  @Husper7  > _ Why can’t I have my own opinion on this international issue?" _ Im pointing out how everything you say is inline with the govt. That's why it can't be trusted when the comment was "I don't trust the state media" when most of the comments have been identical to Beijing. > _ And why would I go to find a certain prison or jail on my vacation trip?_ Okay, so you didn't look at where they are detained but yet you say they aren't? > _It’s obvious that western people don’t understand the variety and diversity of Chinese language. _ Its obvious u make up stuff to pretend that a party with millions don't have some speakers for every language.
    1
  1555.  @Husper7  So to re-iterate my point, you will not provide which doc was fake and what your source was. You have essentially the same opinion as the govt despite the claims u don't. You r not honest in saying the party with millions in it don't have any speakers of the several dozen languages in China. Hmm..

  1556.  @Husper7  And by your logic, the US government doesn't have Chinese speakers to help with Chinese language issues.

  1557.  @Husper7  “it’s imposible for a single City Beijing to control every 1.5 billion people daily life”. Uh, Beijing in this context means the govt. and the govt has millions of workers.

  1559.  @BBarNavi  I agree that Tibet and Xinjiang historically are not part of China. It became part of China when China began colonization efforts in the 1700’s. China then became the one being colonized in the 1800s. It’s funny how In china they teach how the west and Japan colonized china in 1800’s but ignore just 50 years earlier when China colonized Xinjiang and Tibet.

Building camps in the west, destroying what's left of HK, stealing South and East Sea, wanting to invade Taiwan, etc. > So it’s legal for Anglos-axons sailing across the sea took over the land of Americans is your defense that because seometihng was done 400 years ago, it's okay to do today? Don't forget China's colonial polices that brought in Tibet and Xinjiang. No different there.

What is the purpose of controlling all info if not to control the people? >Why can you be so sure that they are not controlled by govt I'm sure they have some level of impact but the media in the west is free to fact check and criticize the govt. so the lies of the govt are harder and we are not subjected to info ONLY that aligns with the state.

  1581. It's just too many things all at once. People around the world including Japanese are moving more into urban areas and leaving the rural areas. Japan has a shrinking population. Buildings were designed and now cared for as if they have a 30 yr life leading to decaying homes in the country side. So decaying homes, fewer people in the country, and those that are alive are increasingly moving to cities meaning many many many homes will not have any takers. China is heading into a similar issue though they have the added factor that they treated the housing market as a big speculative market to drive GDP and it's starting to fall apart.

And that's why their economy struggled for a long time until they started making more 'capitalist' reforms.

  1586.  @Andrew-L  Even China didn't see economic progress until they reformed and became significantly more market oriented economies.

  1587.  @VashtheStampede007  wumao, the Wikileaks you refer to was about the killings inn1989 on literally Tiananmen Square. The vast majority of the killings were not in the square but throughout the city. Did the CCP not inform of you of that?
    1
  1588.  @VashtheStampede007  " There was no massacre in the square as WikiLeaks proved. And there was a huge citywide riot. So of course there were casualties" So now you agree there were indeed large scale casualties. " And it took several violent attacks against the military to start it." Wumao, you have a source that says the protestors killed the military members first before the CCP started killing thousands of protestors?? (the story use to be police but you wumaos keep changing it) And imagine if the response to the capitol Hill riot was the US killing thousands of those protesters. You wumao really screwed up bringing up the capital riots.

  1589.  @Dept246  "There is separatist movement in Xinjiang". Wumao, so that makes it okay to commit genocide and send million of innocent people to concentration camp? " It is not as simple as you think." Is it as simple as I think. Im very well aware of the facts -- China is committing genocide and has concentration camps because of past terrorist attacks. You think it's reasonable and even use whataboutism to point to other areas doing horrible but not as horrible things.

  1590.  @VashtheStampede007  Wumao, where are your sources? Your sources that soldiers were the first to be killed? How many soldiers? The hundreds killed is the low end estimate with over a thousand killed the most likely. And, notice how you cannot acknowledge that the US didn't need to kill thousands of protestors in Jan 6 capitol riot. Why is that China's government needed to kill so many protestors? Wumao, give me your sources.
    1
  1591.  @VashtheStampede007  LOL, so you don't have a source. You're saying you do not know that soldiers were killed first yet you argued that the killing of potentially thousands of protestors were a response to the killing of a few soldiers. Typical wumao, you just take the word of the CCP even without evidence. Furthermore, why not answer the question -- why is it okay for CCP to kill potentially thousands of protesters when the US didn't even kill more than 1 protester in the capitol riots?
    1
  1592.  @VashtheStampede007  Wumao, what again was your opinion on China's concentration camps and genocide of Uighurs? You also called it all propaganda -- so basically you are indeed hired by the CCP. You take the CCP words over Amnesty International?

  1593.  @VashtheStampede007  I notice you refuse to say where you get your news on any of these topics. It's clear your only news sources is CCP approved sources.

  1594.  @VashtheStampede007  Wumao, so you won't provide sources? You won't say what type of sources you get your news from? Instead, you double down on suggesting that protesters killed a few cops before the police started killing over a thousand protestors. "Cos it is innocent until proven guilty.' except, there is evidnece. But you want 100% irrefutalbe proof to believe your CCP overlords do anything bad yet you only need like 1% proof on anything else. That's why you won't give up your sources since it's clearly CCP sources
    1
  1595.  @VashtheStampede007  I didn’t say you said the US police killed over a thousand. I said the CCP did so in response to protesters in 1989. So why did American police kill only 1 person Jan 6th riot while CCP killed potentially thousands inn1989?

  1610.  @CLS1507  so one study showed something but it had no comparison to China where it’s a dictatorship and you suggest they are equal or even that China has more opposition in their parties — when it’s one party ruled completely by Xi. Lol!!!
    1
  1611.  @CLS1507  “ China could be more democratic the will of the average people are more heard by the rulers”. Good one. That’s why China doesn’t allow criticism against Xi in the media and has complete control of all news and information! Yeah, that’s really listening to the people. Or like how when Chinese do try to protest like I’m Henan, the government sends 30 officers to beat up the protesters and stop the protest. Or how about the numerous videos of many people protesting now in China fighting with police or security because of the zero Covid lock downs that the people don’t support.
    1
  1612.  @CLS1507  the Chinese government doesn’t want to be guillotined by the people which is why the government: 1. Monitors all people and arrests any threats 2. Doesn’t allow protests against Xi 3. Has no free speech nor free press thus prop-agânda is all the people hear 4. Hires a massive army to go online and pretend China has democracy and Chinas government actually care about the people while the government has sent millions to conc camps, doesn’t allow protest, monitors everyone, and silences anyone that is a threat like the female tennis player or Jack Ma and many others

  1616.  @CLS1507  two semi oligarchs is better than one hugely oppressive dictatorship. There dozens and dozens of studies on US government of similar research all reaching somewhat different conclusions but yours isn’t t comparing to CHINA so how can you reach the conclusion you did when that paper didn’t say that? Exactly! But hey, propaganda from CCP tells you to take that paper and make your assumptions
    1
  1617.  @CLS1507  it’s Interesting how you still keep arguing China with no ability to elect the leader and no ability to criticize the leader on tv or online (within reason) is somehow more democratic. Lol. And Russia is the next most democratic country!
    1
  1618.  @CLS1507  “what’s the point of having the ability to criticize your leader”. Well trump wasn’t re elected exactly for that. Meanwhile Xi can’t be removed and you can’t speak out so now you have social credit scores, everyone is monitored, you have crisis in banking / housing / demographics, hace gen0c1de in Xinjiang, etc. totally Perfectly fine!
    1
  1619.  @CLS1507  “approval rating”. Which one? Lol. Especially when approval ratings in western countries people are judging the existing party in control so everyone not from that party will disagree while in China there is no alternative and CCP has br@inw@shéd people into thinning the CCP is china itself and it’s the Chinese people so any polling that could even be done would be people answering if they believe in the Chinese people and China.
    1
  1620.  @CLS1507  besides, when all you have as state propaganda and unable to criticize or start protest against the government, you will never develop mass opposition. As more evidence see Russia and North Korea. Putin has 75% approval in because he kills all opposition and controls all media all while he’s making life harder for Russians. North Korea is the poorest country and most oppressed yet the vast majority support Kim. It’s almost like controlling all media and news and oppressing any opposition or criticism will lead to higher approval ratings from the brain/washed people! The same type of brain/washed people that for .50 yuan for online and claim China is like a democracy and the government listens to the will of the people even when the people are put in camps, can’t criticize the leader, can’t protest against the leader, etc.

  1622.  @CLS1507  “China doesn’t have worldwide mass surveillance project with scale”….seems like your admitting China has the biggest domestic surveillance in the world! And if Snowden were to release any information on that, he would be treated 100 times worst in China and you sort of acknowledged that with your response. This is so funny.
    1
  1623.  @CLS1507  being able to criticize means being able to take down a politician that’s bad such as Trump not being re elected. Now, why do you keep bringing up Snowden? I know you want to thrown 10 things out from the playbook and Snowden is always on the CCP playbook. But why? He would be dead in China if he released information that was 1/4 the importance of what he released on the US. Which by the way information he released was not anything illegal but it was state secrets.
    1
  1624.  @CLS1507  "Trump not able to be reelected," You realize he lost?? - "He just recently announced himself that he's going to go for the reelection in 2024??" So he lost!?! And now he has to run again and all polling suggest he won't even win his party's nomination! He is polling a distant second! Republicans are tired of him -- they might like his policies but they want someone with less baggage and is less a liability.

  1625.  @CLS1507  "Also is this your admittance that you as a people don't have any mechanism or power to dethrone a very unpopular leader/government other than just waiting for their term to finish itself? " Uh, have you not heard what Happened to Richard Nixon? Do they not teach you that in China? But either ways, it's a democracy. The president has limited powers unlike King Xi. - "Look at brandon's current approval rating" Dark Brandon has approval of 42%. What's your point? Republicans all dislike anyone that isn't Republican. So they have a choice unlike how King Xi is the only choice!
    1
  1626.  @CLS1507  "Besides, why do you think snowden would be dead in China, " Maybe they don't tell you this in China but the CCP executes 2,000 people a year and many for much less than what Snowden did. A Chinese court has issued a suspended death sentence to the former directors of the Xinjiang education department for charges including writing and publishing school textbooks it said were designed to “split the country”. So imagine that if just textbooks can lead to capital punishment, what would happen to someone who released some of the most secretive information in China?

  1627.  @CLS1507  he’s he stepped down because he was being investigated and was about to be removed from office. So they don’t teach you that in Beijing?
    1
  1628.  @CLS1507  impeachment process isn’t perfect but there is even weaker options to remove a Chinese leader — which is why Xi was able yo make himself dictator for life. Way to go China! And way to go Chris! You defend horrible atrocities and think voters deciding trump isn’t worth a second term and Nixon having to resign when on path to be removed is the same as Xi being dictator for life and no checks and balances!
    1
  1629.  @editto7560  if trump did try to use the nuclear bomb in a way deemed dangerous, he could easily be stopped. There as so many checks and balances in the US government that some say the biggest difference in power among the 3 branches (congress, president, Supreme Court) is the president has the bully pulpit.

  1631.  @CLS1507  "Why should Xi be removed?" Well, it was a hypothetical question about the ability to remove someone. But to answer it, concentrations camps? Dropping GDP by half of what it was before he took over? Zero covid stragety is destroying lives at this point? The list goes on.
    1
  1632.  齐质保  so Snowden would be dead if he lived in China and did what he did to China but you criticize the US for wanting to charge and sent to trial someone that stole state secrets? You’re argument makes no sense but you stick to your CCP script

  1633.  齐质保  no assumption needed, it’s obvious Snowden would be dead. China executes for less.

  1635.  齐质保  in your fantasy world, China doesn’t execute 2000 per year and China doesn’t have death penalty for treason. 1. Betrayal of the Country (Article 102) is punishable by death. Nice try with your fake world

  1636.  @wingkeungkong415  I don't even know what relevance your odd and CCP opinion has to do with anything argued here.
    1
  1637.  @wingkeungkong415  But there's a difference between free floating currency and manipulated currency. You can print more money but if it's free floating, the market forces decide the value of the currency (or the exchange rate). China does not properly allow it's currency to properly float which means it's being manipulated which means their currency isn't properly valued. It has been letting it's currency float a bit more in recent years so they aren't as bad as they use to be.
    1
  1638.  @wingkeungkong415  So you are saying they are manipulating their currency but defend it because they are still a growing economy? At this point I am not even sure what you are trying to argue. You said "The US dollar is manipulated By The American Empire" but now you seem to argue everyone does it. So why even make that statement?
    1
  1639.  @wingkeungkong415  China not having experience doesn't mean they aren't manipulating their currency. It's not about experience or lack of it -- they are literally doing it to keep the RMB weak so they can export. Again, if according to you most of the countries are manipulating money, then why make your original comment criticizing the US?
    1
  1640.  @komlat253  "He showed that the nation could have healthy democracy within the party and have conversations and balances of power" yeah but Xi showed that the system can easily be turned into a dictatorship which is why many fear any single party or dictatorship -- if not at the moment, they worry about the possibilities. "China's business model doesn't work anymore as it comes into being a developed nation while almost half their economy is the replication of goods ,they need to produce their own services" Deng's one child policy is hurting them and will hurt them even more in the future. Add in Xi's steps backward on many of the policies that have actually helped China, and things don't look that good for China's future prospects when compared to those prospects 10 years ago. The housing market has been showing signs of problems for over a decade now and Xi just keeps pushing the can down the road. It's going to be a drain on their economy. It's interesting how Xi followed someone that was the polar opposite in Hu Jintao.

  1647. ​ @wangyaohan8824  "can you explain the failure?" Do you only read and watch Chinese state media news? What China did to Hong Kong scared most Taiwanese that held hope for a unification in the future. Now they know CCP cannot be trusted. From an article: "the law sets up a vast security apparatus in the territory and gives Beijing broad powers to crack down on a variety of political crimes, including separatism and collusion." You may think the Chinese govt doesn't oppress but this law allows them to oppress the people of Hong Kong. People are arresting simply for protesting. Many books critical of the CCP or promoting any independence thought are banned. Journalists have been arrested.etc

  1648.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  UK didn’t make the handover agreement in 1984. By then Hong Kong had many years of changes and progress…just like all its other territories. See British Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos, etc. the whole point is that China has pushed back Hong Kong to the 1960’s (70’s at latest) in terms of rights. How can you defend that?

  1652.  @Blezerker  it’s mostly the fault of the governments over time. But why has Dominican Republic with similar history become a success story in the past 20 years? It’s obvious they have a more competent government but why? Maybe all it takes is a couple of good leaders over a certain period of time to move the direction in positive way?
    1
  1653.  @alexskatit4188  they faced a lot of interventions. For example, Triggered by concerns about possible German use of the Dominican Republic as a base for attacks on the United States during World War I, the U.S. Government began a military occupation and administration of that country in 1916, which would last until 1924.
    1
  1654.  @alexskatit4188  oh, in 1965 again: At 2:16 a.m. on April 30, 1965, the 3rd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division landed at the San Isidro Air Base and started the US military intervention in the conflict.
    1
  1655.  @alexskatit4188  so US didn’t invade twice including occupying DR for several years?
    1
  1656.  @alexskatit4188  invested heavily? You mean how the US invested in Central American banana plantations? And Cubas sugar plantation? So I guess it was a positive now that the US created banana republics? The only major difference is that 200 years ago Haiti was forced to pay for being freed.
    1
  1657.  @alexskatit4188  in 1990, gdp per capita for Dominican Republic was $990 and $440 for haiti. Both were among the poorest in the Americas (and the world). That’s 2.25x higher for DR. In 2021, DR was $8,600 to haitis $1,800 or 4.8x higher. So DR saw gdp per capita rise 8.6 fold since 1990 while Haiti only 4.1. The vast majority of the differences in terms of economies happened since 1991.
    1
  1658.  @alexskatit4188  yes, good for the DR. They figured it out. Maybe Haiti will some day but they need to get rid of extreme corruption and most important to the present, get rid of the gangs. They asked countries for help and pleaded they send troops but nobody wants to be blamed if they help. They are signaling to the US but Biden is balking and is trying to get the UN to go in. Not sure if the UN will do it but they should.

  1661.  @alexskatit4188  oh, US actions of 150 years ago somehow related to US today and somehow defends Chinas concentration camps today? Exactly what Beijing worker say. So anything horrible today can be defended by pointing out things in the way past? Using your logic, why would Haiti want to team with communist in China when China’s government has killed 50 million of their own in their Great Leap Forward and cultural revolution?

  1662. China going the route of Russia and destroying international norms and laws would be very horrible. If China invades Taiwan, the rest of the South China Sea and East China Sea are next. That means Vietnam, japan and South Korea are in danger.

  1667.  @John_Smith_86  I don’t generally like or downvote so can’t remember which but it might be his video 3 months ago on how “foreign aid doesn’t work”. It was a little extreme on the topic ignoring the many times it actually helps. It was about click bait title and video that at the end in one minute did concede it sometimes works. Seems similar to this video where it ignores a lot that would contradict video trying to put nearly all the blame on France and US past interventions will conceding a little at the very end that haitis government has been horrible throughout its history. Which video did you downvote?

  1668.  @John_Smith_86  i remember that video. It’s actually one year old as of yesterday. I thought I had some issues with it but i can’t remember now why. I remembered the video 3 months ago about aid because i left a top level comment with the criticism. I’ve been leaving comments on top level more recently in part to remind me what i watched a video and my quick thoughts. Do you remember the issues with the Timor Australia video?

  1672.  @fidelramen5202  traditional rail is there and yet I just looked up and china is looking to add 70,000 km more of rail.

  1675.  @WastedBananas  not important, it shows an increase in our immigration. Even if it’s mostly Koreans, Chinese, Filipinos and Vietnamese, that’s a large pool to tap into. And broader acceptance will come if they see more other Asian immigrants. I don’t expect them Match the west which generally has 10-20% foreign born but it will narras the gap.
