  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. This is why I trust this channel. They realized they made some mistakes, took the criticism, removed the video, then uploaded a new more accurate video.

  3. The history of Las Vegas is fascinating. I've been there maybe a dozen times, a few times for pleasure and the rest for work. To think that the old popular part of Vegas was it's downtown by the 1970's or 1980's, the strip became the hot spot while downtown began to die out. The strip even pivoted in the 90's to family friendly only to drop that a few short years later. When I first went to Vegas around 2005, downtown (Freemont Street) was dead and old. Looks nothing like today -- it was mostly seniors and locals. By around 2010 when I next went to Freemont, I saw some changes happening with new hotels plus the light show. It still didn't draw huge crowds like today but on my next trip to Freemont around 2015ish, it was a hot spot. Numerous improvements and modifications. It looked nothing like a decade before. Today, Freemont St is a must stop even for one day if you're visiting the strip. The light show is a great fun experience, there are at least 3 stages playing live music and sometimes even famous acts. I saw Shaggy perform for an hour for free with thousands of people watching. Step away from downtown or the strip, and you have some areas serving great food. To the west of the strip is a huge area of great Asian food -- Chinese, Japanese and Korean. There are also great Mexican restaurants throughout the city. And from Vegas you can go to the lowest spot in the Americas which is the hottest place in the world -- Death Valley. Hoover Dam is a very popular half day trip for tourists and it's a must do. Or hit the mountains nearby, especially the beatiful Valley of Fire park.

  4. OMG, do more videos like this! Most farming videos are about the specifics of certain farming tasks but this was a great overview on the economics and logistics.

  5. Income / wealth inequality is an important measure but ultimately , more importantly is how well the middle and low income are doing. Using nominal numbers to illustrate, it’s better to be a poor person that has $10,000 (adjusted to Purchsing power) in a country with high income inequality than to be a poor person with $2,000 (adjusted for purchasing power) in a country with low income inequality.

  6. The flat Plaines in western Russia mentioned at the beginning that made invading Russia possible also works in reverse — and more often it was russsia invading others.

  7. For the most part, all the other parties think the same. China does not have good intentions with that region and they have shown they will muscle out everybody given the chance.

  8. Okay, Isobel Young, this is perhaps the best investigative reporting I've seen in a long time. I can't imagine how this will not win some major awards in investigative journalism.

  9. As someone that works in manufacturing, I can say the tariffs don't 'help' the US bring jobs back but they did help us start looking at other options than China. It's a long process though. Our company itself was assembly products that were getting 25% tariffs in China yet we saw little increase in sales though for the parts we used, we did begin to buy more from Vietnam and India. Overall, China was just slowly losing out to Vietnam, India and especially Mexico. I had a another job a company making similar products and they eventually ditched their small China factory and built one in Mexico. These things take years though. Even for an OEM to just to replace an existing supplier in China with one from another country, you need to order samples (can take weeks or months for delivery), test it (can take many months or even over a year), possibly re-sample many times until you get it right, then you need your customer to then test your product that has the new component and that could take months. Overall, a switch to a new supplier generally took us between 10-24 months to just get the new component approved depending no how important the part is to the function of the product. Usually the first order will have some 8-16 week delivery lead time so now you're looking at 12-28 months between placing first sample to getting first production delivery.

  10. I almost stopped watching because I thought “why watch 30 min just to find out what it is?” But wow, this video isn’t about what was found but the determination and investigation skills needed to find out what it is. It really helps understand how long and difficult it si for many of investigations into say more serious matters.

  11. YES. Terrible argument they made. Even if pitbulls aren’t naturally more likely to bite than other dogs, the veterinarian fact that when they not only have among the strongest bites but literally were breed to not stop biting. Very few large dogs have that trait and that’s what makes them dangerous. If they snap, they have a deadly bite and often won’t stop biting for a long time

  12. What is the woman at 1:20 blabbing on about? She says the US blames USSR/Russia for the atomic bombs dropped in Japan? As an American, I've never heard this. And said US-Russian relations have never been positive except WW2 but the 1990's things were relatively positive. There was hope that Russia would turn into a normal country but the brutal way Russia fought in Chechnya gave the west and US less hope in Russia. It was under Putin the relations soured.
    358
  13. This is great stuff. I don’t believe I’ve seen a video that really discusses the economics of YouTube creators as in depth as this.
    314
  14. As an American, my first trip there was indeed surreal. Same with the 2nd trip. But it felt 'normal' by my 3rd or 4th trip. The interesting thing is that you go 2 blocks away from the strip and it's usually just a normal city. It's all just on the strip or downtown (the old center for hotels).

  15. Today, the Syrian rebels have captured a large suburb of Damascus and a city on the border with Jordan. They are slowly encircling Damascus.
    298
  16. 0:10 I was on a trip through Spain driving to a few cities. I was shocked how most of the towns / cities seem to end abruptly and had dense housing similar to what you showed here. I thought it was great because it made more land available for farming and it kept even decent size towns mostly walkable. Seville and Granada were exactly like that.
    272
  17. The vacant home issue that is the result of speculators is not as big of a problem in much of the US. Property taxes discourage leaving a house vacant as you have to pay taxes on the property so if you don’t live in it or don’t rent it out, you paying a lot of taxes with no earnings to offset.
    262
  18. Chile’s inequality is not that different than most of the rest of Latin America but the video didn’t mention that. The importance is that yes they have income inequality that needs to be addressed but they are still significantly better off economically for the average person than most of South America. The median Chilean has significantly more money to spend than the median South American. But again, doesn’t mean they don’t have an inequality issue but that the issue isn’t framed properly in this and many videos that portray the situation in a way that the average viewer might think the average Chilean is worse off or equal to that average South American
    250
  19. As a kid I use to hear so much about the Bermuda Triangle. I was fascinated by it. Don’t hear as much about it these days but maybe because the internet has given us millions more conspiracy theories.
    248
  20. I know someone that works for paypal. They pay more in Mexico than India and Philippines for the same job at the same 'level'. Maybe it varies by industy?
    246
  21. 5:07 the stability and reliability of the institutions has been said to be HUGE factors for many years but it seems it can be difficult to prove something that is obvious for a while. I’m sure people and scientists were highly certain that good parenting leads to more likely success of the child but it must have taken a long time to scientifically prove it
    215
  22. Russia selling Alaska and France selling lands (Louisiana Purchse) were not actually bad sales for the selling party. In both situations, the selling party had no way to properly maintain control at costs that profitable to them. USA was going to take Louisiana Purchase lands eventually and Napoleon needed money at that moment due to war in Europe. Russia was also going to lose Alaska to either US or UK and Russia needed money due to costs of war (Crimean War IIRC)
    191
  23. The fact that everyone in that region fears what China is doing and might do with the South China Sea tells you a lot about China's claims & actions. Taiwan & Japan have arguments over islands & waters but they don't fear the other side will launch some sort of war over it. But CHINA....they are showing intent to actually use force to take it all. And their claims are massive areas. Sure Taiwan, also has similar claims but it's mostly just to keep the Chinese claims and prevent China from just easiliy taking all the waters & islands.

  24. The last guy said that even if Putin dies, the people will demand someone similar. Sadly that might be true.

  25. I think the argument “Norway is incredibly well designed” should have finished with “for a country with such terrible geography”.
    179
  26. Interesting way to put it and it seems accurate. The final couple Minutes mention how this is difficult
    174
  27. 4:18 what a terrible video. Even if pitbulls aren’t naturally more likely to bite than other dogs, the very fact that when they not only have among the strongest bites but literally were breed to not stop biting. Very few large dogs have that trait and that’s what makes them dangerous. If they snap, they have a deadly bite and often won’t stop biting for a long time
    173
  28. 2:13 is this a mistake? 140,000 enter manhattan by car but so my somehow 1 million enter manhattan south of 60th by automobile? Doors that mean 860,000+ enter by bus or did 140k mean to refer to a different transportation method?
    172
  29. I remember 1980’s was “made in Korea” then 1990s was “made in Taiwan” and then 2000’s was “made in China”. I’m guessing 1970’s was “Made in Japan”

  30. Saw this on Nebula a couple weeks ago. It was the best video on this story. I didn't realize all those details. Great writing on telling this story and GREAT visuals to help us understand the situation. This has potential for a very good movie in the future considering how these rescuers risked so much and that dozens of kids almost died.
    164
  31. City Beautiful, Not just Bikes, Hoog, City Nerd. 4 of those on nebula that I follow are urban planning or have lots of discussion on it.

  32. What is left out of this is the major improvements that europe is doing on energy efficiency. Europe won’t need as much gas next year (I guess next winter?). Still will be some problems.
    158
  33. Presidents in the US are increasingly unpopular due almost entirely to the polarization of US politics. Approval ratings of 60%+ were common before because you could get 90% approval of your party voters and then 30%-40% support of the opposition party voters. They’re days the ceiling of what support you get from the opposition is shrinking and shrinking. Obama saw his support from republicans shrinking over time from about 20% down to 10% at the end. Trump was around 15% support at peak with opposition party voters and went down to 5%.. Biden is now seeing around 10% support. In addition, the Democratic Party has a split left vs moderate which is also causing drop in approval from the same party voters.
    158
  34. I'm actually surprised to see 2 or 3 people that look 50 and older support Navalny. A welcome change to the usual.
    155
  35. This video is a bit problematic IMO. First, the US isn’t the only supplier of weapons and aid to Ukraine. Europe has provided just as much as the US yet no mention of European aid. Second, for months already Ukraine has been shooting down drones with the German-made Gepard system, a vehicle that can send dual streams of 35mm rounds ripping into the sky to hit the drones. They are not using $100,000 missiles. Third, the video doesn’t seem to describe the consequences of all the actions mentioned that Russia is undertaking. The video suggest that Russia could put up with even 10:1 (10 Russian losses to 1 Ukrainian loss) ratio of losses for a long time. Each round of mobilization will make the war less popular In Russia. You cannot use WW2 as an example of how much Russia is willing to lose in terms of people’s lives because WW2 they were fighting to preserve the existence of the country – so Ukraine today would be a better comparison to Russia in WW2. In addition, the video mentions that mobilization of the poor, minorities, and disenfranchised communities wouldn’t pose big problems for the Kremlin. But it will, certainly for the minority regions where approval for Moscow is lower than the rest of the country. This could lead to potential revolts.
    151
  36. The US involvement in the middle-east is almost entirely to offset Iran's influence so Israel teaming up with Saudi Arabia and UAE with support from the US should help tremendously to offset Iran and reduce the US involvement in the region so they can 'pivot' to China and Russia.
    148
  37. Faster growing economies will always have increasing inequality. That's how you basically have to grow. That doesn't mean the government shouldn't address those concerns but just that increased inequality is expected. >and the government in Nuevo Leon has failed to address the issues of housing, transportation and enviromental concerns for the local populatio That seems reasonable things to be concerned about or want addressed. One thing that holds back Latin America a lot are policies that are just basically giving money away rather than trying to bring i more foreign investment and keeping government spending to the essentials that help people work -- transportation/infrastructure, affordable housing, education. East and South East Asia that have seen a lot of growth basically kept welfare minimal but spend heavily on housing, education, and transportation/infrastructure.
    146
  38. 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.
    145
  39. And what they call a village in China is what we call a mid size city in US. No joke, went to “villages” with 300,000 people. Yeah, they called that a village
    136
  40. I’ve been to Venice (historic area) twice for a total of 3 days. One day I walked most of Venice and went to the other side of the island. The tourist areas are all in the first half of the island nearer the train station and up to San Marco square. Step away from the main “streets” and you often see locals. Go to the other side of the island and it’s entirely locals. On the other half of the island, It was interesting to see parks with grass, a few single family homes, large beautiful walkways, very quiet, etc. I imagine a bigger share of historic Venice was like this before the rush of tourist in the past few decades.
    124
  41. I'm glad they kept the old part of Paris in tact. The high rises and modern downtown are several km away which is great for keeping the historic areas looking historic.
    121
  42. Deleted this video and admit you guys got paid for this fluff piece. Focused on Total bites and not fatal bites? It’s the fact that when a Pit snaps it has one of if not the strongest bites AND breed to not stop biting why they are so dangerous
    120
  43. That’s how cheap labor works — it’s cheap to one party but high paying (relative to options) for the other party.

    117
  48. I really hate the open floor concept. Sure, i like how it looks better than the cubicle farm but cubicles give you privacy to talk on the phone or with another collogue or not be looked at all the time. Cubicles also reduce distractions. This is even more important if you are in sales or involved with anything that might need to be kept secret such as working on some projects that can't be shared with the rest of the team yet.
    109
  49. 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.
    109
  50. 1:48 you have a list of the Russo-Turkish wars. Most of those before 1800 were europe helping the growing Russia because Europe’s main concern was to weaken the ottomans. There is one war missing in the map in Crimean war of 1853 with ottomans and Europe against Russia. Europe at this point saw ottomans were weak and now wanted to container Russia. Russia lost the Crimean war
    105
  51. LOL, my take away as well! the mind is weird because the video also shows how it's getting safer and safer.
    102
  52. Prices for flights pre 1977 were much higher that it was mostly the upper class flying. By the 1990’s, the middle income class were able to afford flights and began flying a lot. So I think 1978 deregulation was an overall very positive policy but it did come with some consequences which need to be addressed
    101
  53.  @harukrentz435  Europe is struggling because they set a high bar. Compared to the rest of the world, they are doing great.

  54.  @mayamodraf  the video literally mentions atrocities / war crimes committed on all sides. It then mentioned that the UN or whatever human rights group is mentioned in the video said what the Serbs did was just worse.
    99
  55. 2:26 body building being “superficial” makes sense since all the strongest man competitors and winners don’t look like body builders
    98
  56. Seems to me that the two biggest factors in Argentinas slide since early 20th century are not fully taking part in the Industrial Revolution (sticking to agriculture and mining etc) and later terrible populist economic policies (give the people whatever they want rather than making sound economic policies) only to have to undo populist Policies before returning to those populist policies.
    94
  57. Mexico has had a century to curtail development and population growth in Mexico City and move it elsewhere but they kept allowing Mexico City to grow. During the past 100 years they could have created a new capital or incentivized the population to grow elsewhere.
    94
  58. 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.

  59. Serial churning is an easy solution and very cost effective. But people aren’t that smart

  60. This is a great. I follow lots of traveler youtube channels and honestly, this is the first one I've seen on Taiwan from them. I've had to specifically look up Taiwan on youtube before to see the content. It's great you are bringing attention to Taiwan and hopefully helps some people decide a trip there is worth it.

  61. A famous former US general has already suggested what the plan would be if Russia were to use a nuclear bomb on Ukraine. It basically would be that NATO would use a conventional weapons to destroy every single Russian soldier in or near Ukraine. The US already has an idea where most of the Russian soldiers are located and would be easy targets for the far superior weapons that the US has.

  62.  @hilaryhongkong  I don’t think you understand the problem — it’s that 30 million people in live a small area that is how Mexico City metro. If you moved 10 million from Mexico City and spread them to Puebla and another city, you would eliminate most of the problems. It’s the concentration in a small area that is the problem
    88
  63. What does gdp per capita have to do with efficiency?
    88
  64.  @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.
    88
  65. Theoretically it could but in practice, has almost no chance any time. Maybe over many generations but it won’t be China or BRICS or Russia money that does it since whatever replaces it must come from a government or organization (group of nations) most of the world trust and big enough to produce enough currency. That leaves the only option to possibly replace USD in next 100 years…..the Euro. But the Euro nerds to improve and stabilize before the Euro becomes a decent possibility to replace the USD

  68. This was a very well done video detailing the history of searching for and finding Osama. I've never seen a better video on this topic --others are either 60 min long or too short to cover all the important details. Plus this video had great story telling and visuals.
    78
  69. Donuts are a food that there is a huge difference between cheap and expensive. As I got older and ate fewer donuts or pastries as I watch my calorie intake, I started to buy mostly only “premium” donuts and pastries. The $1 donut at Dunkin’ or Krispy Crème or other cheap stores just taste low quality but that $3-$4 donut is often so much better. It’s with that extra $2-$3 for something I only eat on occasion.

  71. ​ @shoakman  The half Iranian spent basically her whole life in Japan but the half Colombian woman speaks at native-level Japanese? She spent age 3-18 in Colombia so I'm shocked her Japanese is that good.
    74
  72.  @joaopedroraffo7964  Argentina was very developed in the early 1900’s. Then from 1950 and after, the screwed up their economy time and time again. Going from a country roughly on par with the US to country now closer to the middle income nations like Mexico.
    73
  73. Do you have any sources on this? It seems I see way too many excuses when East Germany is still much better than it would have been otherwise. I don't think it's fair to compare to west Germany and see it as a failure. US has huge economic divides in region but there wasn't a recent separation. Italy probably much more economically divided north vs south. Etc.
    70
  74. NY Times podcast "The Daily" had an episode recently that was based on some article in the NYT. It's about how many are moving production to Mexico -- including many Chinese companies! They even detail one industrial park north of Monterrey Mexico that has 28 Chinese companies that recently signed on to build factories in this park. The reasons Chinese companies and others around the world are doing so is basically 3 fold: 1. pandemic proved supply chains can easily be disrupted. One major cause of the supply chain disruption was ocean freight -- ships waiting weeks off the coast to dock. By building in Mexico, they can avoid this issue. 2. Overall transportation cost into the biggest consumer market in the world, the US. This is more true for larger items where transportation by ocean to the west coast then train and or truck is significantly more expensive than the shorter route of trucks from mexico (often border states/towns) into the US. 3. Tariffs. This is 2 part. NAFTA allows companies to have free trade between Mexico and US & Canada but also for those that were building in China, they can avoid the current tariffs on China and any future economic action against China.
    70
  75. China kept the more fertile lands of Mongolia, thus far more people. But China has worked hard to erode the culture and people...nearly 80% of Inner Mongolia are Han Chinese. The city in Mongolia is also about 10 deg C colder in the winter and has less precipitation than most cities in Inner Mongolia. It's not suitable for big population.

  77. You really can’t mount an invasion from those tiny islands. They would be sitting ducks for drones
    68
  78. While Russia being torn apart and divided is likely very little chance, if it does it will be in part because of jihadism. What wasn’t mentioned (unless I missed it) is that the Muslim minority have been overly represented in the mobilization. All of this could potentially end up causing such a huge a friction that we start seeing that community pull itself apart from Russia. But this is still a small chance.
    68
  79. I’m progressive but I respect Utah. They (relatively speaking) hold to lessons of their bible instead of creating an ideologically conservative identification like most red states. Most or all red states didn’t support gay marriage in 2015 including Utah but Utah’s view (generally speaking) is not support for it doesn’t mean they support discrimination against it.
    68
  80. I worked for an electro - mechanical company and we sold a lot of electronics to farm equipment manufacturers. This was 2015-2020. I was surprised how advanced farming equipment had become. The use of gps, automated driving, apps, etc really made me realize farm equipment manufacturers were becoming (hybrid) tech companies
    67
  81.  @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

  83.  @gwho  That's part of it but there is also massive corruption in Mexico that interferes with proper business policies. One solution to get around the cartels is that many are opening up factories in central mexico like San Luis Potosi, Leon and Queretaro.

  88. His "France still has colonies in Africa" was just as bad. Some of his recent videos are too alarmist or exaggerated. I've noticed the same with RealLifeLore going more alarmist and exaggerating events or possible events.
    57
  89. In the US for sure. In poorer countries, farming is mostly subsistence farming and the decisions are far less complicated.
    56
  90. I don’t understand this argument. China’s mega cities are already super crowded and population is going to decline in China soon. They are also becoming richer so they are fewer Chinese who are willing to live in small tightly packed homes like Java.
    56
  91. Great channels. EE is more basics of economics and Money and Macros tends to go into more complex or deeper discussions. They compliment each other well in that I can use EE to learn the basics such as how some economic data is measured and have that measure explained to me in layman’s terms. Then with M&M I can learn more in depth about some single news topic.

  92.  @TheAmericanDeagle  There probably isn't a better place in Mexico than Monterrey for the average Mexican, financially speaking
    55
  93.  @basilmagnanimous7011  The whole "China things long term" never made sense. The one Child Policy was literally a short term plan that cost them in the long term. Same with using housing in a pyramid like scheme to bring lots of money to the economy in the short term but now they have severe problems with housing and a housing market crash is very possible. I agree. If China's government really cared about improving the economy and making people happier, they wouldn't go on a wolf warrior diplomacy, threatening Taiwan, and trying to steal the south china sea all while spending hundreds of billions a year on a military. All this has done is lead to many countries trying to decouple from China, investors worried about China thus reducing foreign investments, and targeted sanctions like the advance chips.

  95. Not gonna lie, this was one of the worst episodes so far. Too many assumptions, too over the top in those assumptions, no sources, etc. it felt like click bait title but in video form.
    54
  96. 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.

  97.  @zero-dollartrader6440  Rus talking points are always to bring up Syria -- despite Ruzzia being the one most heavily involved there. Such a weird thing I notice people bring up to defend Ruzzia.

  98. Adam, you seem like a very good person. More people like you taking some time to speak to students and provide some insights would certainly help more students really understand what's ahead of them after they graduate which will allow them to better prepare!

  99.  @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?

  101. 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
  102. Yes it can but its highly unlikely. No territory has the ability to fight and win independence. But I do believe there will be major problems in the years to come.
    52
  103. 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.

  107.  @kastus77  Yeltsin, right? Is it Eltsin in Russian? The mid 90's fight in Chechyna was already seen as troubling in the west but they hoped things would change. The 1999 fighting lead by Putin was brutal and that really concerned the US and west. Putin did basically what he had done in Ukraine and Syria which is target civilians and punish them.

  109. This is not only OBF but most YouTubers. I think it gets more views. Americans watch them often because they think their country is doing badly and non Americans watch it because they want to feel superior. Picking on the “top dog” is always popular. I use top dog in quotes because it’s perceived to be the top dog even if arguably it is not.

  110. Very bad take. People can actually afford far more kids than before. The difference is people greatly raised their standards on what they want for their kids while also no longer wanting to make as much of a sacrifice to have kids.

  112.  @The_budgetking  They also claim lots of Bhutan's land and started building settlements & military posts Bhutan's land in the north. The whole claim on the north is likely to get Bhutan to give up land on the west....which would be a strategic military position against India.

  113. Road to Perdition is my favorite cinematography ever. Some of the scenes are just perfectly shot and creative that I can’t imagine doing better. Haven’t seen the movie in a while but my favorite scenes (don’t read if u haven’t seen the film): 1. The kid watching the warehouse shooting 2. hanks character arriving home to find his wife and a son dead — camera stays on the other kid the whole times 3. The AMAZING in the rain shooting of the boss 4. The finale - Hanks being shot. There were more but those 4 scenes really stick out as amazing.

  116. For a 16 min video, this was really good. But there is so much detail that it could easily be a one hour video. This was a big story even in the US throughout the 90's. This and the collapse of the USSR are two foreign news I probably remember the most in the 90's.
    45
  117. Great video. Money and Macro did a good in depth video covering different aspects of the same thing. They spent more time analyzing the light usage to gdp data and found that it was good use of data even if it’s not entirely accurate. But even the original paper said that his light data showing 60% lower gdp in China doesn’t mean the 60% is entirely accurate. It just gives you an idea of how exaggerated the gdp data likely is. I’ve traveled China a few times and noticed that city cores of major cities look rich or middle class but outer parts of the city are as poor as typical Mexico (also traveled it) and rural areas are African level poor. Rural in the context of China can mean a town of 300,000!

  125. I went to the WTC Museum and memorial. It was such an amazing experience. While did see the WTC from the outside in 2001 a few months before 9/11, I never got the chance to go inside (we were debating observation deck of WTC and Empire State Bldg, went with Empire). But the museum as well as the outside memorials just really put in this historical place. It is a must see / do while in NYC.

  132.  @ricardomarin487  Worth ethic is a big factor. You need people to work hard, especially when they country is still relatively poor. There many places for cheap labor around the world but there has to be many things working for it in order to succeed. Yes, cheap labor and trade benefits are a big part but also work ethic and sound government policy. India is having one problem from 'work ethic', though some might call it cultural. Something like 20% of women are in the workforce and if that doesn't improve, they will be limited in their growth.

  133. EU needs to step up and become less reliant but Macrons position on Taiwan is BAD. In addition, he chose the wrong time to make such a statement. Marcon isn't actually concerned the EU should be less reliant on the US, he wants the EU to becomes reliant on France. He want's a France led EU. France often acts against the EU when it's not in their interest. They are often able to do this because they are supported by resources from their neo colonies in West Africa. On geopolitical issues, it seems like France and Germany are often at odds with the rest of the EU. Eastern part of the EU and Sweden/Finland have serious concerns with Russia and thus to an extent also China. France and Germany might be a combination of trying to maintain autonomy and big trade with China (and Russia for Germany) that they end up often arguing different than the EU.

  135.  @meowtherainbowx4163  but China doesn’t have much cultural exports due to the oppressive government. Can’t expect people to know much about inside China and their culture when everything is heavily censored. In contrast, india and South Korea has a lot of cultural export because they allow their music and movies to not be limited so we get honest opinions of how their countries behave. I watch a Chinese movie and I already know it’s been heavily filtered so I don’t know the real China culture as well.

  139. 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.

  140.  @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!

By debt I mean total debt — China national government likes to put their debt problems on local - provincial governments?

  146. I've been seeing a lot of content about the Darien gap in recent weeks or moths. NY Times podcast (The Daily) had an episode on a a reporter who did the travel through the Darien gap with migrants. It was tough. They saw at least one dead body. The major problems they discussed is that it's often hilly (ups and downs), muddy, streams, insects, very hot and humid, and not close to any civilization if you get sick or injured. And that's usually how the deaths occur - a person gets sick or injured and cannot go any further and succumbs to the conditions. They ran into one 9yr old child separated from her mother and being looked after by one of the men making the trip. The reporter falls behind to see if she can cross path with the mother. She does. The woman has blisters and possibly infections in her feet and could not keep up. She lost her daughter near some hill. if those blisters or infections were any worse, it could be her body that others see later on.
    37
  147.  @chemicalfrankie1030  The bad part of being the reserve currency is the high price of the dollar with makes exports more expensive -- thus harder to export. But the "export inflation" is basically saying it allows the US to carry more debt. So it's a trade-off....reduction in exports but ability to have higher debt. They are probably a wash but the deciding point would be the power it gives the US with sanctions.

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

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.

  160.  @Huangraisy  99% of the people using CPC instead of CCP are either Chinese born and raised in China or CCP apologist. Anyone else if writing in English will write CCP because that’s the common term. The choice of words people use tells you a lot about where the are from (or not from) or what their opinions are. The vast majority of people who say “America” are not Americans because the vast majority of Americans would almost always say “the US”. For example, “In the US” vs “In America”.

Or as DW stated "It meant their (East German) products were overpriced and unpopular with consumers, which in turn ultimately led to vast-scale bankruptcy and company closures. " As DW continues: >Despite serious efforts to sell companies, the economic situation in eastern Germany made it impossible to find buyers. The only way the Treuhand agency could off-load the massive state holding companies that dotted the landscape was to sell them at subsidized prices.

  163. 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.

  164. Are you saying Europe should just let Africa stay poor?

  165. The point of the video is that there are few long traditional dishes in any country. They change so much over time that most dishes considered traditional today either didn’t exist 200 years ago or looked very different that one wouldn’t even say they the same. For most of history, 90% of the population were poor and or living in farms. The farmer mostly ate what they can grow and they often made cheap food/ dishes that would be appealing in 1900’s and today as people gained more access to more foods and better ingredients. I get when someone says pizza has been around in Italy for many hundreds of years but the pizza made today is not “traditional” in that it doesn’t look anything like pizza from 150 years ago.
    33
  166.  @FinianFhomhair  I looked further into this. OP was highly misleading or leaving out important details (thus highly misleading) that it basically was a lie. Here are some important details left out: >The institutional transfer was accompanied and bolstered by a massive personnel transfer and ‘elite import’ from west to east as thousands of West German officials and specialists moved to East Germany, either temporarily or permanently, to assist the organisational and personnel transformation of Land and local administration...By 1993, some 15,000 West German officials rendered ‘administrative aide’ in Land administration and about 4000 in local authorities by counselling, training and assisting their East German counterparts (Goetz 1993: 452). Moreover, a significant number of West German officials and experts moved and stayed permanently in East Germany to take up administrative top or meso-level positions. >another key factor was the huge financial transfer from West to East. Since the early 1990s, this figure has amounted to some US$75 billion annually. This enormous flow of resources largely supported and promoted East Germany’s transformation, which again has had no parallels in other ex-communist CEE countries.

  167. Taiwan didn’t need an auto mfg industry but yes, it helps a lot.

  183. 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.
    30
  184. This channel makes way too many excuses for russia. It almost never mentions the underlying problem - russia itself a a very aggressive country that all its neighbors fear. Instead, this channel tries to portray Russia a victim as much as possible. He’s from Azerbaijan which is friendly with Russia so maybe that’s where his bias comes from.

  185. So many issues with this vid, take it down. 1. Why does this leave out that that they aren’t trying to reduce spending but rather they are looking to offset the decrease spending with decrease taxes, especially for the rich? 2 why does it just take elons words as facts? 3 the poor family of four don’t RECEIVE $134k in benefits. Not even close. I’m guessing it’s the total costs to government which includes the departments costs such as govt workers salaries, overheads etc 4. The cost savings potential described here are highly misleading and unreasonable. It’s almost as if the script was written by Elon

The Chinese immigrants IIRC changed the cookie by making it smaller and changing ingredients from a miso flavor to a vanilla flavor.

  193.  @henryeghaghara9385  ​ another reason now that today is a better time than 20 years ago. 20 years ago there was hope China (and Russia) would became respectable players in the global politics. The belief was capitalism would lead to these conuntries to make the same changes japan Taiwan and southeast Korea did. It has mostly worked for Eastern Europe. It seems now such thinking doesn’t apply to energy rich countries or countries so large that they can make the trade mostly under their terms thus no reason from them to take on any western value.

  200. Weaknesses also include a rapidly shrinking economic growth with this year likely to be 2nd year in 3 years with gdp growth under 3%. Baking crisis already forming where many are not paying their bank loans on construction properties that have been delayed and some banks are limiting withdrawals leading to protests. And the housing market is about to crash with prices dropping already and construction been halted in many places. There is also the demographic crisis where working age population is already shrinking and total population will begin shrinking shortly

  201. @Jgw, 100# spot on. Russia was NOT going to hold on to Alaska and US knew this as week. US also knew the only two countries that would buy it are UK and USA. Of course they weren’t going to see it to their enemy and threat UK so US was the only option. It’s easy to get a great deal when the selling party MUST sell (or lose it) and when there is only one buying party.

And in the Russian part of Moldova, if almost all the Russian language news is from Russia where it’s almost all Russian government propaganda, it’s going to effect Russian speaking part of Moldova. But they do have a choose and they chose ignorance.

  209.  @FinianFhomhair  more details left out by OP: > East Germany’s transformation in Land and local administration has proceeded remarkably fast and, after some ten years, has attained an institutional format and a performance profile that come, by and large, close to their West German counterparts (see Jann 2001: 105). The essential reason for this ‘fast track’ transformation of East Germany’s politico-administrative plausibly lies in the fact that it was embedded in the process of German unification and driven by East Germany’s integration into the ‘old’ Federal Republic. Thus, basic institutional decisions (e.g. relating to the introduction of the Länder, local self-government, rule of law/Rechtsstaat-guided public administration and also the inclusion in the European Union) were pre-determined and ‘foregone conclusions’ by the GDR’s spectacular accession to the ‘old’ Federal Republic at midnight on 3 October 1990. By contrast, in other ex-communist CEE countries, the basic decisions on the transformation of their politico-administration (nation-building, intergovernmental architecture, accession to the EU, etc.) were often the result of protracted political conflicts and compromises (see Wollmann 2020).

  210. Fun fact, leaded gas was not completely phased out of Australia until 2002, serval years after the mass shooting and gun control discussed in this video. Also, you should notice the much larger drop in murders by guns. It’s a proven fact guns are more deadly than knives so considering gun murders dropped far more as a % than overall murders, it suggests the gun control was a major contributor to the overall drop in murders.

  226. I found this video weird. They didn't truly show all the important metrics and facts such as how the gas and oil revenues dropped significantly towards the end even before the Dec 2022 price cap. They left out some other metrics and facts that would really show Russia's long term struggles but at the same time, they seem overly optimistic at Russia's eventual economic destruction. Russia will certainly be hurt in the long run but the video at times makes it appear as if Russias economies will eventually collapse or have much bigger damage than what might actually happen. It's really hard to tell what the long term damage will be -- if oil and gas prices hike up again, even with a price cap, Russia will not be hurt as much. But if oil and gas prices do not increase and say a global slowdown occurs bringing demand down for gas and oil, Russia's economy can tank. It's uncertain if many other nations will try to do business as usual with Russia in the long run or not. All I know is that unless it's an economic collapse, I don't see Putin stopping the war due to economic reasons. The sanctions will just make it harder to fund the war and get the materials and weapons they need to keep the war going at full scale.

  227. 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..

  230. Great video! I'm glad I found this channel last month. This is one of the most complicated issues and this did a great job of explaining the situation and the background. On one hand, the Jewish Israelis have been under attack by it's neighbors. But on the other hand, there was some movements towards peace in the 90's and 00's which were derailed by a number of actions -- the assassination of the PM in 1995 by far right winger and the settlements expanding into Palestine. This of course caused more backlash from Palestinians and terrorist attacks picked up. Israel responded with more force, walling off much of Palestine, and increased settlements. The issue I see more recently is that West Bank has progressed since the 2000's. Terrorist attacks minimized, more moderate politicians, etc. They made all the right moves towards peace. How did Israel respond? Continued settlements and more human rights abuses. Israel is showing they will no longer consider actual peace. Then you have Gaza Strip. They run by what many consider a terrorist organization that is still using terrorist attacks on Israel. While the West Bank government and people have seemed to do all the right things to increase cooperation with Israel (if Israel ever cared), the Gaza is doing all the wrong things and there are some justifications for some of Israel's actions in Gaza. The fact that there are three players involved and not two is certainly complicating the situation even more. It's clear that the increasing settlements in the west bank are an attempt by Israel to eventually consume all of the west bank. Annexation little by little. So long as Israel continues to built settlements and so long as Hamas is in control of Gaza, there is no chance for any peaceful resolution. In regards to the UN resolution, it's a mixed bag. There are some I expected on one side or the other but rest are just a mix bag. It's interesting to see Russia and China vote in favor of it while they are both committing terrible human rights abuses -- one with even more severe treatment of Muslims and the other with war crimes in Ukraine. Maybe they are hoping to deflect on their human rights abuses but I would have thought they would have abstained.

  231. I was in Rome 1.5 yrs ago. That road and the building at the end (Altar of the Fatherland) are right by the most popular ruins. It is a beautiful building though it's a little out of place next to ruins. Rome is just the best city in the world for tourist. Where else can you see so many 2000ish year old buildings? And it has some very beautiful late middle ages / Renaissance. to early modern / Baroque buildings (1400-s to 1700's) . And it's all walkable. Plus you have the Vatican just a walk away from the historic parts of Rome!

That doesn’t mean everything has been perfect but the click bait title is just that..click bait 2. It’s capitalism why output in farming has grown tremendously and the output from farms is several magnitudes more than it was 200 years ago 3. Farming is very regulated and government involved. So many subsidies on insurance and for specific crops. Lots and lots of environmental regulations as well

  237. Lots of flaws in this one, at least towards the end. At the end it mentions how the global trade has made income inequality worse and seemed to suggest (by adding no further context) that things are getting worse. And yet, global extreme poverty fell form 45% in 1980 to 10% today. We’ve also seen many former poor countries move into solid middle income and even upper income. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, HK Singapore, etc were Poor 50 years ago and now wealthy nations. We have many examples of dirt poor counties moving Into solid middle income like china, chile, Panama, and many more

  245. This is a very complicated issue. I don't see Israel leaving unless there are assurance that Gaza and or Palestinians will NEVER vote in or allow to take power any group like Hamas. I completely disagree with Israel's tactics in the war but any reasonable person can see why Israel has to get rid of Hamas and make sure there is no similar replacement. Just to get this out of the way since I know what kind of comments I will get, i don't condone Israel's war tactics but let's not pretend that Palestinians haven't put themselves in this situation by trying to erase Israel & it's people for many decades. There was not Palestinian country or equivalent before Israel was declared a state -- it was territory of UK and Ottomans before that. There is no chance that a million Jews would be treated well under an Arab Muslim controlled state and we can see the neighbors as evidence of all those minorities being oppressed (Kurds, Coptics in Egypt, minority Jewish populations, Shia vs Sunni, etc). Had Palestinian Arabs or Arab nations accepted the 1947 UN resolution or accepted their losses after the 1948 war or the 1960's war, Palestinians would have been much better off today. And West Bank settlements must go in order to find a peaceful resolution to all this.

There are far more investments that are less risky with with very high potential payback but those don’t address the two factors above

  254.  @darealberrygarcia  the two biggest and probably only real factor in why they didn’t connect South America to North America is that it’s too expensive to build and Maintain roads through the gap and the second reason is the huge negative impact to the environment.

  259. 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.

  266. Video points out most countries are less productive than the US. But the reason he was compared to the US was because the impact this has that isn’t a problem for Europea — the brain drain. It notes Canada has more than 4x the number people moving to the US than US has moving to Canada. Given Canada has 1/9 the population, that means a Canadian is about 40x more likely to move to US than a an American moves to Canada. In addition, US and Canada are not inky fighting for the workers but the businesses themselves. Those good paying jobs are more easily found in US leading to Canada missing out. In France and Germany and other European countries, those jobs and businesses aren’t likely competing with the US.

  267.  @std-ci4ws  " So if the prices of those properties were to collapse, it would not be the average citizens that would take the most damage." But the average citizen does have one home and they would be seriously effected by a price collapse. Those with 2+ homes would also be spending a lot less giving their net worth dropped which means a worse economy which means everyone will be hit. > the real concern is that the local governments in China relied on selling land That is indeed a major concern. The savings that many have in housing which would lead to reduced spending which will hurt the economy is a major concern but the local govt no longer being able to raise revenue from that might be a bigger concern. It will lead to higher taxes on goods/services that previously had low or no taxes and will lead to cut back on spending which will lead to lower economic output.

  270.  @RM-el3gw  you are right that Japan has been mostly stagnant since the 90’s. Japan didn’t grow because their working age population began to shrink in the 90’s. The reason their economy doesn’t shrink is because to offset a shrinking working age population, more women have entered the job market. And you’re seeing more elderly people working as well. Ultimately they need immigrants but that just doesn’t fly in Japan.

  277. For sure. This video is a bit problematic. First, the US isn’t the only supplier of weapons and aid to Ukraine. Europe has provided just as much as the US yet no mention of European aid. Second, for months already Ukraine has been shooting down drones with the German-made Gepard system, a vehicle that can send dual streams of 35mm rounds ripping into the sky to hit the drones. They are not using $100,000 missiles. Third, the video doesn’t seem to describe the consequences of all the actions mentioned that Russia is undertaking. The video suggest that Russia could put up with even 10:1 (10 Russian losses to 1 Ukrainian loss) ratio of losses for a long time. Each round of mobilization will make the war less popular In Russia. You cannot use WW2 as an example of how much Russia is willing to lose in terms of people’s lives because WW2 they were fighting to preserve the existence of the country – so Ukraine today would be a better comparison to Russia in WW2. In addition, the video mentions that mobilization of the poor, minorities, and disenfranchised communities wouldn’t pose big problems for the Kremlin. But it will, certainly for the minority regions where approval for Moscow is lower than the rest of the country. This could lead to potential revolts.

  278.  @KirkFickert  Russia using nukes would mean the end of Russia. Those around Putin know that attacking NATO with nukes would mean Russia would be hit by nukes. also, you realize how silly it is to say “ if he use nukes on a non-nuclear power, what makes you think he won’t use it on a nuclear power?“. That’s because you strike a nuclear power with nukes your own country will get nuclear bombs in return. Not rocket science so weird for you to make the jump from “using nukes on non nuclear nation means they will use on a nuclear nation.”

Yet, on France & Africa video a few days ago, it was a complete hit piece on France by leaving out a few countries voluntarily entered the African-French currency (franc) and that some have left with some even returning. All it did was portray it as negative without talking about the positives. I’m seeing this pattern a lot. Completely criticize the west and or excuse bad actors by suggesting they are just worried about their national security.

  281.  @Stellar_Politics  " I don't think lesser evilism is an argument," But then you didn't really truly answer the question. " I'm not saying it would've been better under the Soviets, that's not the point" But it is the point. It's important that while we blame the US and other nations for their involvement, we also understand that without that intervention South Korea today would be like North Korea. So did it work better for South Korea to have the US involvement on their side?

  282.  @Stellar_Politics  The main point of my reply: “The fact that you can't comprehend any level of criticism against a country” South Korea is flawed but its still better than 90% of the countries out there. Why can’t you admit that South Korea is a success story that lead to it becoming a wealthy nation, a democracy, and strong human rights? No country is perfect so don’t give me this “why can’t you take criticism of South Korea!” “How foolish you are to dismiss the elderly who are being neglected by the south government and forced to go homeless,” Still one of the top 30 countries in the world in the quality of care the people receive. How does that compare to North Korea where millions have died of starvation? How does it compare to communist China under Mao where 50 million were killed either in famine or cultural revolution? So you’re only argument is that South Korea is flawed – but that doesn’t mean it’s still not one of the most successful stories and better countries in the world. Unless, of course, you’re a communist that doesn’t like people having freedoms or any wealth or rights?

  284. Most of these beauty standard exist in the west but not to the extreme. Some use to exist but now have changed or progressed. For example, the pale skin was THE beauty standard in the west for centuries but in the past 50 years or so, tanning became popular. My guess is that the origin of the standard was the same (poor people work fields in the Sun) but westerners began to embrace exercise, out door activities, hiking. Beaches, and traveling to the tropics. A nice tan skin today now suggest someone who is healthy and active. The thin beauty standard has also changed a little. Yes, low fat is still mostly the Ideal but tone and slightly muscular became popular as exercise became more popular. There are also now more women with bigger curves such a big round butt and curvy waste line. East Asia seems to have like one beauty standard that has been set in stone for a while — pale skin, very skinny, and big eyes. Less diversity in beauty standards.

  290. 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.

  294.  @thejquinn  "LOL he literally based US GDP (which only went up 2.6% in the last quarter, which is disastrous) as the reason why the US is "great"." Well, I imagine Justin Quinn is a leftist or tankie? He looked at GDP growth over a period of time and not just one quarter. But if you look at only one quarter, that 2.6% is still among the highest of the wealthy nations. Most of those issues are happening all around the world.

  299. These percentage of wealth comparisons are very misleading. It assumes that pie hasn’t changed and it ignores many factors. For example, the pie has grown tremendously since 1950 when the US economy and total wealth (adjusted for inflation and population size) was much smaller than today. Another example is that prior to ww2, most older generations lost most of their wealth to Great Depression so that by the time 1946 rolls around, the pie is smaller than it should have been and the older generation had seen a decline over the previous 17years. Then factor in that post war rebuilding of the world lead to a lot of growth opportunities for the young workforce. To finish this off, the older population today makes up a much larger share of the population Population in the 50’s. The boomers in the 1950’s were young and plentiful and were a big percentage of the population...as they aged, they became a bigger population of the old population than the old population back in the 1950’s. Basically, there are plenty of reasons that the generational wealth gap has grow that are just due to demographic changes (much higher rates of elderly), post war reconstruction, and depletion of wealth during the Great Depression

  302. @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.

  310.  @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.

  311.  @stephenjenkins7971  it’s 2023 though. The reason russias invasion is such big news is because land grab wars are thing of the past. There is basically zero chance Colombia would invade Panama now or the future if they removed the gap.

  312.  @binskee677  China has free speech in their constitution. Japan has clauses in their constitution about how their military is for defense purpose only yet they have suggested they will help Taiwan. In fact, that's probably how it will go -- India (assuming they keep going down that path) will justify some military action as defense just like Japan is doing in regards to their support for Taiwan. >I bet there are some loopholes For sure, I just used a great example.

  313. This channel makes way too many excuses for russia. It almost never mentions the underlying problem - russia itself a a very aggressive country that all its neighbors fear.

  314. 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.

  315. The key is or be vague but not that vague. Give them a hint of what the consequences would be and it appears the US has already done that. A famous former US general has already suggested what the plan would be if Russia were to use a nuclear bomb on Ukraine . It basically would be that NATO would use a conventional weapons to destroy every single Russian soldier in or near Ukraine. The US already has an idea where most of the Russian soldiers are located and would be easy targets for the far superior weapons that the US has. Supposedly such Information would already be suggested to Russia.

So do you think Russia would use nukes on Ukraine knowing the US has already signaled they would retaliate with force enough to make most Russian troops in Ukraine disappear? You say the US wouldn’t intervene because no precedence — but no one has used nukes in a world with more than one nuclear armed nation so by your logic, you believe Russia is all bluff on using the nuke?

You think the west paid hundreds of thousands of protesters to go to the streets and protests after the then Russian puppet president of Ukraine was killing protesters? You think the west paid Ukrainian congress to Vote 75% in support of removing the president? Funny - all of this started when the president had for years said he was going to sign some deal with the EU and in the last minute (bribed by Putin) dropped the deal, people hit the streets in protests, then president began killing protesters which angered the people even more. But yeah, not Putin’s fault for them invading the country he tried to bribe and keep as a puppet.

  323. @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
  324.  @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.

That’s why boy bands going back many decades in the US tend to be effeminate men. Which was always odd to me because most teens I knew had crushed on the more macho masculine teen males in their real life.

  327.  @barrankobama4840  By your logic, traditional just means whatever is made today. I don't agree with logic. I find it odd to say "this dish is made like this today thus it is traditional" if the dish looked different even 2 generations ago. I get what you are saying but I feel there must be a better word than 'traditional' to describe what you are saying. to me 'traditional' would be how something was done for a LONG time, minor changes allowed.

Or how China propped up the evil North Korea government? Or how China has executed a large large number of political dissenters? Or how Mao killed many civilians? Shouldn’t be hard to name such movie or else you have to acknowledge your glorious CCP dees highly restrict / censor movies and it’s a no to any movie that portrays the CCP in a bad way.

  343. This was tough to watch and I only got halfway through…because it’s highly bias. It is indeed very difficult to pass but the underlying arguments made is that it’s mostly the fault of the US and the US should have open borders or near open borders. The underlying argument made is that on top of the half million who illegally enter the US, the US Should allow another million or more each year…year in and year out. That’s economically unsustainable and the current amount is probably still okay amount but it would be much higher if not for pickups to make it more difficult In addition, the problem is that migrants have abused the system of refugee claims. It’s now mostly economic reasons they are leaving and not true refugee reasons (the reasons covered by some international law)

  354. This is a very complicated issue. I don't see Israel leaving unless there are assurance that Gaza and or Palestinians will NEVER vote in or allow to take power any group like Hamas. I completely disagree with Israel's tactics in the war but any reasonable person can see why Israel has to get rid of Hamas and make sure there is no similar replacement. Just to get this out of the way since I know what kind of comments I will get, i don't condone Israel's war tactics but let's not pretend that Palestinians haven't put themselves in this situation by trying to erase Israel & it's people for many decades. There was not Palestinian country or equivalent before Israel was declared a state -- it was territory of UK and Ottomans before that. There is no chance that a million Jews would be treated well under an Arab Muslim controlled state and we can see the neighbors as evidence of all those minorities being oppressed (Kurds, Coptics in Egypt, minority Jewish populations, Shia vs Sunni, etc). Had Palestinian Arabs or Arab nations accepted the 1947 UN resolution or accepted their losses after the 1948 war or the 1960's war, Palestinians would have been much better off today. And West Bank settlements must go in order to find a peaceful resolution to all this.

    15
  357.  @Lena-vw6ye  Well, yes, but to not call their bluff would mean the end of Ukraine. And the US / NATO will respond to russias use of nukes with an all out aerial bombardment and missile strike. They would wipe out 50k-80k Russian soldiers in ukraine and in Black Sea in a short time.

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.

  361.  @kaliningradtoczechrepublic8162  There are always political reasons to not or do recognize a genocide. Of course people will argue from the opposite side of this reason but IMO they didn't recognize it for fear it will upset Russia too much but now that the relationship is broken, there's no reason to hold France and others back. But at the same time, some countries might fear their own past will be subject to the same. It's complicated is what I'm saying.

  363. Rent control is the worst solution to any housing issue. Building more units and incentivizing people to live away from the hot spots. The solutions are easy in theory but the difficulty is the politics around it. Government can try to increase more new units to be built but some residents who own homes might try to stop it (NIMBY) because they already bought in and don't want changes, especially if the change will reduce prices of housing units. Incentivizing people to live in other parts of the country or even other parts of the metro get tricky -- there will arguments of WHERE they should try to get people to move, HOW much money to spend and HOW they will do that.

  364. Yes, those are two very important questions and things to look out for as we proceed. If nobody pushes hard enough back, China will just take the whole SCS. There are growing fears from many in the region about China's actions which is why many are working with the US or others in order to counter China. Vietnam has run drills with US navy. Philippines recently allowed the US military more access in their country in large part because of China's actions in the SCS. Indonesia certainly has expressed their concerns about China though I am not sure if they have gone the extra step Vietnam and Philippines have. India is very concerned and not long ago because working closer with a few other nations, the Quad. This is why it's important to keep sending ships and planes through that area to keep the freedom of navigation.

When Taiwan, South Korea and Japan were at the same GDP per capita that China is today, they had approximately 7% GDP growth for the next 20-30 years! That's a massive failure when compared to it's east Asian counterparts. >just like how the united states was a massive manufacturing country in the 1930s till 50s, Except the US was already upper income country at that point. China is not close to even it's East Asian counterparts who have 4x higher GDP per capita.

  370.  @PutXi_Whipped  "The demography argument is really stupid. China has 1.4 BILLION people" Hey 50 yuan, the economic growth of China has been falling for years now. Their working age population started shrinking in 2014 and their total population will begin shrinking shortly. I never said China won't surpass the US in terms of total GDP, I'm pointing out that on a per capita basis, their level of wealth is not going to reach the US level. This year will be the 2nd time in 3 years they have growth under 3%. They were at 10-12% from 2000-2012. They have banking and housing crises forming with people protesting in mass due to banking issues and mass number withholding payments on housing projects that are delayed. These issues are a problem for the govt which is why the govt is becoming increasingly nationalistic and warmongerings. That helps rally support.

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.

  378. Great analysis. So much going on with so little movement. As described in the video, it's really difficult to know where on that spectrum the situation is at the moment. My guess, what's going on in Bakhmut is partially Russia trying to get an offensive going before new weapons for Ukraine arrive and partially to try to get any type of victory so Putin can sell it back home after Russia lost a lot of land in the last 3 months of 2022. Russia (well Putin) is not afraid to lose twice as many soldiers as Ukraine to gain even a small land because Putin needs to show some victory and he can always hide the true death counts. I follow 1420 youtube channel where they interview Russians on the street an the majority just believe what Putin says so if Putin says only 20k casualties and 4k dead, they will blindly believe it or believe it's close enough. When the new weapons arrive, Ukraine might be able to make some advancements but it will be difficult to get large swaths of land due to having to wait too long for the tanks, giving Russia time to fortify their positions.

  379.  @tedwojtasik8781  "I simply stated Wilhelm was responsible for the deaths of 2+ million German soldiers" This is suggesting he started the war.

They use to ban gay marriage and it’s legalized. They use to be involved in a lot of wars and now it’s been 20 years since the last major conflict. But none of that is relevant to the topic but I know how Beijing agents operate and you want to change the topic because you know that CCP control over movies is pure propaganda and not comparable to the western movie industries.

  393. @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.

  397.  @shanerooney7288  but all you explain is that China reaching upper income is now highly unlikely. Along with banking and housing crisis, they age a demographic one too. All the rosy estimates of 5% growth through 2030 and now likely 3%. And that’s assuming they didn’t get hit with a huge housing crash. When japan and South Korea where at same level China is today, Japan and Sk had 6-9% gdp growth. China is in trouble if their goal was to become an upper income country. They will be trapped in middle income.

  398.  @fernbedek6302  Beijing Taijin need lots of more people to close those gaps. China’s population is dropping soon and there are fewer rural people to bring in than there was 10-30 years ago. And people of China are raising their standards of living meaning they won’t live in tight housing like java. I probably misunderstood you on Java. I thought you were arguing Beijing area would or could see massive growth and you were pointing to java to demonstrate how packed people can live

  403.  @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?

  406. Why not use your original score and the adjusted score in the rankings going forward? At the end you mentioned you will keep Chinas original score going forward because many other countries also misreport economic data. But among the countries you have near the top, China is alone on how much they manipulate it. And considering their manipulation is estimated to be as much as over 2x the actual gdp data, it would make sense to keep both scores going forward.

  416. 8:15: even if 75% of the homes are going to be expensive luxury style, that still helps the housing market. Those 20,000 people who would be buying/renting the expensive housing would mean 20k fewer people buying/renting in what is now the city. That would drive down the costs of housing even for the middle class. Those luxury renters were competing with middle class for limited housing and giving up prices but now they will have 20k new homes to bid for and they will less likely bid for the cheaper homes the middle class is renting / buying

A capitalist model would be like Australia where it’s not on the government but employers and employees to pay for the retirement. The government requires employers pay X% of someone’s wages into a private retirement fund for the employee, like a 401k in the US.

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.

It didn’t create a business environment that encouraged industry.

He based this on something like 120 years of elections but the climate is different today and so the so many swing states, it’s going to get harder and harder to predict the outcome.

  426. Every aggressor is sacrificing money and lives for something. They don't do it unless they happen to have something big to gain. Most wars we see in recent decades are related to terrorism or threats made by one country or a civil war. What Russia did here is more in common with the ways wars were fought before WW2 -- old fashion land grabs. The last war I can think of where it was such an aggressive action was 1991 Iraq invasion of Kuwait. That was the last land grab I can think of.

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.

  431.  @李永刚-k6f  Japan, Taiwan, South Korea had 80% of the annual growth of China when those 3 were poor and middle income but they did it the right way with LONG term in mind. Chinas economic policy was far more interested in the gains of the moment (likely so they can show off to the world) at the expense of future growth.
    13
  432. 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.

  435. I'm glad you guys brought up the nuances, ESPECIALLY the War impact on GDP. Fighting a war requires a lot of government spending and government spending is literally one of the measures used in GDP. The best thing to do is look at GDP without war spending since war spending is mostly to build things that will just be destroyed and don't improve the citizens life. The charts showing certain industries plummeting at 8:22 was a perfect example of the information needed to really tell the story. However, that chart was only trade with EU so we would need to understand Russia's total trade -- where they able to make up for that EU trade loss or was there still some net loss? What everything seems to suggest is Russia is slowly in decline and will have major financial issues the longer the war goes but Russia will not economically collapse and will continue to have modest GDP losses or zero gain though it can be argued that GDP losses after war spending is removed might be considerable but not collapsing considerable.
    12
  436.  @vstachen7761  "Victory over Japan is equivalent to restoring Taiwan as Chinese territory" You do realize China was getting beat terribly and it was the US that beat Japan? And that's not how it works -- China being on the side of the victor US does not mean China gets everything - but the KMT did get Taiwan which is why they are there.

  442.  @Suryavanshi1008  Some of the reasons they scored India low was: - While India is a multiparty democracy, the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has presided over discriminatory policies and a rise in persecution affecting the Muslim population. The constitution guarantees civil liberties including freedom of expression and freedom of religion, but harassment of journalists, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and other government critics has increased significantly under Modi. The BJP has increasingly used government institutions to target political opponents. Muslims, scheduled castes (Dalits), and scheduled tribes (Adivasis) remain economically and socially marginalized.

  443. East Germany is still much better than it would have been otherwise. I don't think it's fair to compare to west Germany and see it as a failure. US has huge economic divides in region but there wasn't a recent separation. Italy probably much more economically divided north vs south. Etc.

So everything was just like I had thought. You can tell a lot about people based on what they decide to bring up or what they ignored. You bringing up SK like that told me you were likely a communist. "How is Mao relevant? I don't support China?

" It costs them economically though but yes, it can avoid utter destruction of the economy if they keep adjusting which usually comes at more cost to the economy. In the long run, it's very damaging and the longer the war goes on, the significantly worse situation Russia will be in. But there is certainly no doubt they will be able to adjust in the short term.

  468.  @sarahs.thorpe857  no they aren’t. It’s a give and take among western countries. For example, Latin American music right now is global and a hit in the US as well. Europe has some very popular artist especially with dance music, pop and DJs. British films are very popular. All of these influence each other. Given the US has 330 million and all of Western Europe is about the same population and all of Latin America is only double US population, it’s kind of expected the US would be the biggest influence in the west purely out of size.

It started in Catholic Church (the original Christian church) but it’s also practiced by all the other Christian groups so it’s best to say “Christmas” and not “Catholic Christmas” or even “Turkish Christmas” as it might have been started in what it now Turkey but then was Roman Empire

  485.  @marcusaustralius2416  a government collapse does usually take decades, an economic collapse can happen suddenly. I think China will now see a only modest growth and declining growth. Projections before had 4-5% annual growth 2022-2030. It’s probably going to be 3%, which is a huge drop. But there is potential for a zero or negative growth for a few years. If the housing market crashes it can lead to a banking crash which could mean recession for a lengthy period of time.

They hate them but they also admire a lot about Japan, their manners, their success, and holding on to many parts of their traditional culture even as they prospered (a few I know criticize South Korea for becoming to Americans influence - picking up US religion.

  504.  @alix224  I agree with some of what you said but the “Keynesian debt balloon” just makes you as ignorant and uniformed as the others. Keynesian economics argue that you reduce deficits and reduce the debt during good times — trump increased debt during his time while the economy was hot. Reagan did the same. Clinton actually reduced the deficit to the point we were running a surplus.

  506. @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
  507. @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?

  510. Your wrong saying a significant share of US airports don’t have public transit connections. Most airports have at least a bus system connecting to downtown with many having trains. The issues in this video are about trains and are mostly a problem in the US for two reason. airports are often build way out from the city center and airports built in newer cities that just won’t be able to have a “normal” train line to the outer part where there are few people. Many of the older bigger cities in the US don’t have this problem. Chicago has a normal and popular train line that also ends up at the airport. Boston has dedicated buses and is right next to downtown. Philadelphia also has a normal train line that connects to the city center. NYC has dedicated buses to central NY.

It's also harder to get people to watch 40min YT videos but I'm guessing they are sacrificing some potential financial earrings in order to produce more quality content which can be considered better in the long run. Most of these similar youtube channels seem to stick to 15-25min. I believe even RLL use to do that until recently.
    11
  516. 13:00 I wish the video did a better job here of explaining how removing tariffs and privatization and debt increase lead to deindustrialization and mass unemployment when those same tactics lead to great industrialization in Asia among China and before them South Korea and Taiwan and Hong Kong. I think it missed some policy changes in this part of the video.
    11
  517.  @sobieckil07  Well, most of the EU is mostly in line with Poland. But the two biggest (i.e. leaders) of the EU in Germany and France frequently are on the opposite side of the rest of the EU on foreign related matters and security. I think it's in large part because Germany and France have too big of trade dependence on China and Russia (for Germany) and because both want to try to keep some autonomy even if it's making bad decisions. Sort of like Turkey with NATO.

  522.  @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.

  523. 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.

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???

  528.  @jonoc3729  your leaving out that Germany invaded Austria before the referendum. You make it seem like the people and government wanted unification in 1938 without influence by Germany. Germany forced out the leader of Austria and then invaded before the referendum. There was support for unification but unlike 1919 or previous attempts of unification, the will to unified with the new government in charge of Germany (N*zi) wasn’t as strong which is why Germany invaded.

  543.  @Lena-vw6ye  they mobilized 300k troops. Ok? So that will be more easy targets for an aerial bombardment and missile strike. NATO doesn’t have troops on the ground so Russia would have trouble responding — they will have to shoot down the US far superior drones, figures, bombers, and missile systems. 300,000 Russian troops squeezed into a small part of Ukraine would be easy target for the missiles.

But like most sources that have a clear bias (and bias isn’t always bad), it just goes to an extreme either for ideological reasons or for viewership. I’m progressive and there is nothing I consume that is strongly progressive because all of them tend to go far left with no or little care of opposing sides…it becomes an echo chamber. I like NPR because even though it picks stories that cater to the left more than the right, it covers each story very balanced.

Edit2: and now you have confirmed in comments below that you think Russia was right to invade Ukraine. What a shock! Edit: yanbarbosa has a very bias pro Russia or pro Hamas opinion. Tried to equate Russia taking lands form innocent neighbors who made no threats to end the state of Russia to that of Israel having some people who support annexing lands of the people that have been trying to end their state since 1948

  563. What I love about this channel is how it tells the facts while still humanizing the people discussed. She really knows how to tell the story so you can relate to the 'victims' but also understand where the issue arose from and why the "perpetrator" is how they are. It's almost always something about the past that forced some thoughts/opinion on a population and the population just repeat it for generations even as society is changing. Some things take many generations to substantially change after the first real attempts of change.

    10
  571.  @tren133  Regarding subsidies China gives Tesla: - The subsidy accounted for around 3% to 6% of the cost of the best-selling electric vehicles in China last year, a Reuters analysis found. - The subsidy, paid to the automaker at the point of purchase, began in 2009 and was scaled back over time. It paid out nearly $15 billion to encourage EV purchases through 2021, according to an estimate by China Merchants Bank International. Another article: - Tesla may be operating a wholly-owned factory in China, but the company became the most heavily subsidized electric vehicle maker in the country in 2020 nonetheless. Last year, Tesla China received CNY 2.1 billion ($325 million) in government subsidies for new energy vehicles, the highest amount granted to a carmaker in the country. - Following right behind Tesla was BYD, which was the second most-subsidized electric vehicle maker in China last year. BYD received CNY 2 billion worth of subsidies for selling 117,000 qualified EVs in 2020. Overall, China granted subsidies for 584,900 new energy vehicles last year, a 12-fold increase from 2016. During this period, sales of electric cars in China increased 27 times to 13.7 million units.

  577.  @PutXi_Whipped  to expand on the effect of the demographic collapse, look at Japan. Their economy stagnated the moment their population stalled and started to decline. The main reasons are many but include the following 1. Workers are a key driver in economic growth of a country. CNhas shrinking worforce so some of the gains in productivity are being offset by fewer workers. Explain it like ur 5: Start with 10 workers. see increase in productivity of 20% so now they produce 1.2x more than before. Lose one worker but stay 20% productiviy gain, it'x now 9x1.2 = 1.08x increase instead of 1.2. If offset much of that productivity gain 2. More elderly people means more social services for the elderly which means more taxes on the working age which reduces efficiency You can see CN already looking to increase taxes to pay for more and more which will increase the cost of goods and lead to fewer exports. Maybe they should teach you this in China but of course nothing negative about China can be taught there.

  580. Dave, you probably wont read this but have you been to Naperville IL? I think you've mentioned them before. They have an amazing suburban downtown. There are several streets with no on street parking and it has one one major road cutting through the center but all the side roads are low volume. They have a free garage parking structure near the center and I believe free parking lots on the outer parts of the downtown. It has a small river that cuts through the edge of the downtown has had a really beautiful riverwalk making it great for walking and biking. Honestly, they could get rid off all the on-street parking given they have free lots throughout and these buildings tend to have an alley which might make for easy places to load and unload. Downton Arlington Heights, IL and Oak Brook, IL is much the same and both of these have at least one train line stop that takes you into the city of Chicago. Then there is downtown Evanston which is much more densely populated that I don't think compares to the more suburban downtown I've mentioned but it's very beautiful downtown for a suburb.

  581. Presidents in the US are increasingly unpopular due almost entirely to the polarization of US politics. Approval ratings of 60%+ were common before because you could get 90% approval of your party voters and then 30%-40% support of the opposition party voters. They’re days the ceiling of what support you get from the opposition is shrinking and shrinking. Obama saw his support from republicans shrinking over time from about 20% down to 10% at the end. Trump was around 15% support at peak with opposition party voters and went down to 5%.. Biden is now seeing around 10% support. In addition, the Democratic Party has a split left vs moderate which is also causing drop in approval from the same party voters.

  582. Biden is under 40% approval, Trump was mostly around 42%, Obama was mostly 45%-47% but go back to Clinton and he was often around 60%. Reagan was often above 60%.

  604. Great video. You are perhaps my favorite history channel at this point. I was already aware of many of these details in this video but it's still interesting to watch a video that puts all the details I know into one video with a great story. It's like watching a good movie about some real life events you already know the major details about but didn't know the smaller details and never put all those details into one context. I do think people forget how the 'rules' of war keep changing with time, especially starting with WW2. Perhaps the destruction caused by WW2 due to weapons much much more powerful than anything before in history caused the world to re-evaluate how wars are fought. Fire bombing such as on Tokyo that killed more people than the nukes was not that out of the ordinary of that time -- all the major powers were basically destroying cities. But after WW2, such firebombing campaigns and of course the nuke are no longer part of fighting within the 'rules'.

France often acts against the EU when it's not in their interest. They are often able to do this because they are supported by resources from their neo colonies in West Africa.

  608.  @HimanshuSharma-oe4mk  great point. India doesn’t need all 1.4b to speak English to have major impact. If 150 million speak English and most young educated people are growing up speaking English, that will mean the number of educated Indians able to speak English will continue to grow and could surpass the US with most English speakers. In comparison, young people in China do learn some English but most of them speak it very terribly unless they are from a rich family. I’m not sure how accurate Indian movies are but I watch many of them and what I noticed is how often people switch to English y on occasion. It’s far more prevalent in Indian movies than movies from any other countries. Even if it’s not accurate (that many Indians switch to English on occasion) it demonstrates the importance of English none the less. Watch a movie from Latin America and they will almost never switch to English even for a moment unless they are dealing with a character that only speaks English. It might have a lot to do with india having a diverse group of people speaking so many languages that English is often used as a commons language. In Latin America or east Asia or most countries there is just one main language that almost all the people speak so learning the international language of English isn’t that important.

  610. Great topic and great video. The way I see it, with the new increased power of weapons that Ukraine is receiving (tanks, missile defense systems like Patriot missiles, armored fighting vehicles) will give Ukraine the advantage. Of course, the more land that Russia loses, the more soldiers per area that Russia has which means it will be tough to gain more and more land. The west has been slow to to send new type of weapons -- Certain basic weapons were only sent to Ukraine a month or two after the war started (assumption was likely that Ukraine was going to lose but when Ukraine pushed Russia back from Kyiv, the weapons started flow in). Himars came nearly 5-6 months after the war started and Patriot Missiles and Tanks will likely arrive a year after the war started. But each time Ukraine received a new type of weapon, they make advancements. So long as Ukraine keeps receiving better weapons, they will be at the advantage. Russia does appear willing to lose far more soldiers to each Ukraine casualty and that may lead to short term success (or a draw) but will make the war more unpopular in Russia over time. I see two outcomes so long as Ukraine keeps receiving support from the west. And these outcomes are at least in 2025 or later. I don't see the war ending in 2023 or 2024, so long as Putin is alive. 1. Ukraine is at an advantage and has regained much of or all of what it lost or all that it lost since Feb 2022 but the remaining lands are too costly to gain back and are areas now that are dominated by pro-Russian. In this situation, Ukraine will negotiate but will require likely that most or all the natural resources (gas, oil) belong to Ukraine and that those territories can only be allowed limited Russian soldiers. In addition, so long as Ukraine has the advantage when negotiations happen, I expect Ukraine will also get some financial compensation from Russia. 2. Ukraine has all it's territories back. This is a low possibility while Putin is alive because he will just throw more soldiers to the meat grinder without care. That could be enough to stall the war for a long time. So with a deceased Putin, it's possible a new government would support negotiations that at a minimum return the Donbas region to Ukraine. Crimea, I'm not sure. In this scenario, the new government of Russia will negotiate that Ukraine cannot be part of NATO (Russia needs this only to save face) and Russia will not compensate Ukraine. I think something close to scenario 1 will happen. It's also possible if Ukraine is able to take Crimea back and not the Donbas and the description in scenario 1 will what Ukraine gets for only allowing the Russian controlled territories in the Donbas to become part of Russia.

The sanctions on Venezuela aren’t the major cause of their problem — it was far left economic policies like controlling prices for food, giving money away in large sums to buy votes but driving up debt, and corruption in state run businesses like oil. Haiti more recent issues is not from US intervention — in fact, it’s the opposite the past decade or so. People are now crying the US isn’t more involved. As for the rest of the migrants from other countries, it has little or zero to do with the US intervention. China? South Asia? Other South American migrants? Or even Central America, it’s less the US government (though one could say it’s the US consumer of illegal substances)

  685. "This is pretty old news, it's just becoming more apparent." I would say in the past it was obvious it was headed to this and now we are finally seeing the housing market and possibly banking sector crash. How big of a crash depends on how the government handles it. "The key to China's economical growth is real estate and other construction projects, it will most likely be their downfall as well." This is why the government hasn't done too much about it for years because they got greedy just like US govt turned a blind eye to bubble in early 2000's. But in China, housing market is (was) more than double the % of GDP as it is in the US.

  691. 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.

  692. 0:30 and at 50 seconds are both right. China is not true ally of Russia. No loyalty between the two unlike the collective west. it's a relationship of pure convenience where one side will drop the other at the moment the other side isn't beneficial to their short term goals.

  704.  @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.

  711.  @jxz107  Yes, both countries and heck, most of that region uses nationalism as scapegoat. But Japan has made numerous apologies to South Korea and others that wikipedia has a long list in the page titled "List of war apology statements issued by Japan". As I stated in my comment to the Professor, I acknowledged that there have been some individuals in Japanese government that have said things that were bad. But again, when South Korea keeps moving the goal post and Japan has done numerous apologies, 75 years later, it seems the anger is being kept alive by South Korea for nationalistic reasons just like in China. Vietnam was in a war with the US and they moved on in less than 1/3 the time and now Vietnam has very favorable opinion of the US. Up to 3 millions people died in the war and that was ended about 30 years after WW2. So why can Vietnam that 3 million in a war where the US was on the opposing side, was able to move on and embrace the US roughly 30 years later? If you say it's because it's trade, then don't forget that Japan had a lot of trade with South Korea. If you say it's about apologies, I'm not sure any US president has apologized for the war. Vietnam also a decently close relationship with it's former colonist, France.

  716. Most people that are commenting in this video are just extreme pessimist who exaggerate likely because they hate capitalism. The real reasons are at least these 2 major issues: 1. Financial illeteracy. People just don't truly understand the importance of saving for retirement early (I didn't take it serious until my 30's) as it allows you more years to earn interest on top of the interest. 2. Americans are HUGE consumers and spend more when they should be saving more. They need bigger houses than the rest of the world, more cars than the rest of the world, nicer cars than the rest of the world, etc. In addition, $100k-$150k is not THAT much in several major metros like NYC, SF, LA, BOS, etc. Still enough to be saving but not so much that it's shocking if they haven't saved much if they are under 35.

Previous automation replaced almost all farm workers - went from 90%+ in early 1800's involved in agriculture to 70%+ in the late 1800's to about 2% in 2020. Yes, of course automation is getting more complex but it's still the same - it's replacing certain jobs. We have programs that have replaced many of the factory floor jobs -- and new jobs were created as a result. Furthermore, the content creator saying "Average consumers are not as important as we are lead to believe" is a bunch of BS. You have to agree with that, right? Most businesses rely on low and or middle class consumers to buy their goods.

  752. I'm glad you aren't doing as many 'doomsday' geopolitical issues lately and returning to the old ways. This was a fascinating video and I've been intrigued with Hawaii since I first visited about 5 years ago. I've done 2 trips and visited all 4 of the major visited islands. They are all so unique in their own way. 1. Oahu: The only island with a big city and a nice city at that (Honolulu). Great beaches. Some great views of the small mountains and lots of interesting little towns. Expensive and small though. Also lacking a large mountain or canyon. 2. Big Island. Complete opposite of Oahu. Beaches aren't good or just okay at best and it has no big city with Hilo & Kailua-Kona being only mid size towns (40k & 20k) but boring. However, it has the best 'other'. It has 2 huge mountains with one you can go to the top at over 13k above sea elevation. it's really cold up there. They have some amazing canyons, great active lava fields to view, and amazing world class snorkeling/scuba spots. IIIRC, one of 2 places in the world where the giant manta ray is common/predictable making for a great snorkling / scuba experience. 3. Maui: The Best beaches. No big city and mid size town is a bit boring but still better than the towns of Big Island. Road to Hana overrated (can't see much on the road other than trees) but the mountain at 10k provides some great views of the island and the valley down below. Do not recall any beautiful canyons 4. Kauai: Again, no big city. Maybe the most interesting town outside of Oahu though but almost no one else outside of that one town. The best canyons by far if you take a helicopter tour. Some great views as well if you go up the mountain -- canyons, valleys, etc. Beaches not as good as Maui or even Oahu but still very good and much better than beaches on Big Island.

  757. I’m Mexican American and my ex wife is from China (moved to US in her 20’s). This was something I noticed with the differences between our families. Her family (Chinese) had the approach that actions are what proves love. My family (Mexican) showed love with BOTH actions and words. It seems among Latino communities, actions are not enough but in East Asian families, actions mean everything and words aren’t needed

  760. It's not. You CANNOT compete with China (or other low cost mfg countries) on products that are price sensitive. You can carve a niche in those industries but that's about it. They can compete on products that aren't price sensitive. American apparel declined and no longer what it was as it faced stiffed competition on pricing.

  761.  @ludlowaloysius  "I just don’t think demographic information is relevant to a nations future production statistics" LITERALLY one of the biggest factors explaining the rapid growth of Japan and China was a fast growing working age population with a relative small elderly population. When Japan's working age population began to flatten and the percentage of retired / elderly grew, Japan saw a large decline in GDP. China now is seeing 1/3 the GDP growth rate it did 15-30 years ago when it's working age population was growing. It's now shrinking.

  762.  @the1prodig432  you weren’t able to name an Asian country that dominated global trade in the past 400 years. There is a reason the Europeans were so easily able to take India and the parts of China they wanted in the 1700’s and 1800’s. Europeans got rich from global trades BRIC boy doesn’t care for facts

  763.  @the1prodig432  I’m missing comments? Doubt it since the comment I can see you were caught being misleading and wrong. You can’t name me an Asian country 1840 to 1950’s that was more dominant in global trade than the top European countries. Yet you said the Asian countries were more dominant in global trade. Then you changed the conversation to just name any big economy in Asian including today when the whole post you replied to argued that before US dollar took over globally (in 1950’s and later), it was the Asian countries that dominated more than Europe or any other part of the world. Busted

  765.  @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?

  766.  @angriffslusticherWildoger  Exactly. Without sources there isn't much holding them back into using a lot of speculation. There is a massive difference in a video from say Caspian Report and others like him vs RLL. RLL have always been a little overly dramatic but it's become more speculative and more overly dramatic. They often state the speculative part as if it's a fact too.

  772.  @wolfworks7339  and I’m pointing out “it’s way to becomes wealthy” mostly applies to people who are born upper middle class or above Bottom 20% have basically no chance. 20-40% have very low chance. Etc To become wealthy, it usually takes at least going to great school system and the way American schools systems are by being finished very locally rather than fully by the state or the federal govt means richer neighborhoods have far better schools than average middle class which have far better schools than the poor neighborhoods

  773.  @wolfworks7339  you fail to see the importance while you continue to say “it’s vey easy”. I think you should rephrase it as “it’s very easy to get rich if you start off life at least in upper middle income class”.

  777.  @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.

  780.  @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?

  796.  @binskee677  Also, explain to me how a country that keeps going down in democracy is going to be someone that is trusted with a powerful nation? China has been more ev-1l as they get more power. India is treating a hundred million muslims like 2nd class and becoming more authoritarian. RUS rebuilt it's military in the 2000's and see what they do. Well, I'm guessing Binskee defend RUS in Ukraine? Anyways, what powerful authoritarian government has ever been one not to worry about?

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.

  813. Even Wendover (Sam) usually does the 'rich guy bad' or "US sucks, Europe is the best". This video was far more nuance than I expected from Sam though lately I've seen him tone down his biases, at least on this channel (half as interesting is a different story). Don't get me wrong, it often is 'rich guy bad' but not always or it's more nuanced than that. I still think the video was a little harsh on the luxury safaris -- that seems to be the best at helping conservation efforts and helping the locals. It's a lot of money with fewer people needed in the parks to achieve the same revenue.

  817. That’s actually not true. They sometimes do have more than one (sometimes not on site) but majority they only have one person taking orders, two lanes and two menus speed up the process as you don’t lose that time between when one person places the order and the next driver moves up, looks at the menu and considers what they are ordering, than places the order, then moves out of the spot to the pick window. That has to be at least 90 seconds per customer saved so if you are the 6th person to arrive in line, that saves you at least 4 minutes maybe 5-6 min.

  818.  @caspermac  oh, so to you it doesn’t matter that all the International rankings have US far more ahead and the fact that US has almost 4x more foreign students and the fact that 1/3 of the foreign students in the US are from China. Somehow chinas universities are about equal or better because you feel so. Got it.

  819.  @kam2894  there was progress in the 90’s and early 00’s.

Putin has most certainly taken Russia backwards closer to the Soviet era.

  832. Supporting Putin because they feel they must support Putin is one of the major reasons why autocratic leaders like to control the news and information. It allows the autocratic leader to tie support to the leader (themselves) to support for the country while at the same preventing much bad news or critical news of that leader. China does the same which is why the CCP has very higher approval ratings. By all accounts, Kim of North Korea also has an exceptionally high level of support. Many of those that fled said the vast majority of North Koreans truly love their leader.

He doesn't have to support using European military but what he stated was just wrong on so many levels. He also suggested they wouldn't support some kind of economic punishment against China. The whole problem is because Macron (and France) would rather make bad decisions just to keep some autonomy. He's right that Europe should be more independent from the US but his actions and words over the year suggest he wants a France controlled EU.

It's a common tactic in politics to drive up nationalism for political support -- much like how it's used in China as well. The goal post keep moving and I think that's causing many Japanese to get angry which is why you might see some bad reactionary responses from the nationalistic politicians in Japan. And the Philippines was treated brutally during it's short occupation. An estimated 500,000 filipinos were killed in a few short years.

  851. China's growth is shrinking fast and much faster than expected. US GDP Growth has surpassed China. Fewer and fewer economist now believe China's GDP will surpass US and that's using the 'official' (inflated) GDP from China.

But It might be a step in the right direction between the two parties. And for China, it's a win. Not a big win unless there are actual major progress on KSA-Iran. If nothing substantial happens with KSA-Iran, people will forget this agreement rather quickly.

This leads to a lot of exaggerated claims such as people saying Taiwan can't defend itself right now or that the US would lose in the war with China because of military games or exercise where the US lost. Those games are putting the US navy and military in a worst case scenario, not the expected scenario.

  858.  @kindlin  Yes, some level of welfare is needed but Latin America is known for giving too much when they can't afford it or too much that it drives away business. South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Vietnam all have had great growth (the first 3 moved up to upper income) with only modest welfare to start which allowed the conditions to attract foreign investments. There's a reason Venezuela has been badly run -- they just give out money rather than actually investing it. I did after all mention that building more affordable housing, transportation/infrastructure, and education are key.

  863.  @TheZombieGAGA  Russia wanted to take Crimea back because they wanted their gift back -- but wanted to take all of Ukraine because Putin wants to be a colonizer. Or it's as simple as Putin just wants to be colonizer so he took crimea and took Donbas and is/was trying to take all of Ukraine.

  864.  @Conserpov  "Starting with imaginary "stalemate"?" 3 weeks later and Russia gave up on Kiev and central Ukraine. They lost the battle for Kharkiv. It's now just a stalemate in Donbas as both sides dig in.

  865.  @Eastory  Just wanted to point out how right you have been. 3 weeks later and Russia gave up on Kiev and central Ukraine. They lost the battle for Kharkiv days ago and approximately 500 Russians were ki.ll.ed tryng to cross a river. It's now just a stalemate in Donbas as both sides dig in.

  866.  @KydoimosOfMachai  ". Learn history about the region first. " Learn to read. I addressed that when I said - Kiev is 'hostile' towards Russians in Donbas who are fighting Kiev, many funded by Putin and even include Russia's private army (Wagner). I'm also aware that after Russian's commited gen.oc.ide on Ukrainians in 1930's holodomor, Russia moved in million of Russians to urkrian as a way to drown out the Ukrainian identify. Millions of Ukrainians died, move in millions of Russians -- now you have a 'Russian' Ukraine. Learn history comrade.

  868. @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

  869.  @islandwills2778  your logic you have used in this thread could justify even Adolph. . Russia is aggressive (but completely downplayed in the video) and bullies it's neighbors and former puppet states. Those states are worried and join alliances for protection. Russia then sees those alliances as threats and thus has 'valid concerns' which they then use to follow through on the aggressiveness they have displayed

  876.  @tonedowne  "If your employer is paying you less than you need to meet the cost of living, then you are being over exploited." That's an odd way to describe exploitation. A very leftist / communist description. I'm assuming you are a fan of Marx based on that. Based on your logic, all poor countries are exploiting most of their workers. "Since the introduction of the mechanical loom, automation has been used to reduce human skill into the production process in order to increase volume and reduce unit cost. The less human skill is involved, the cheaper the product and the more of it there is. When machines were crude, it took a lot of human effort to use the". We went from 90%+ of people working in agriculture to 2%. This has been a positive. The better the farm equipment and the technology to produce more crops got, the better we were as a whole.

  879. The good news for Ukraine is that it appears the current fighting is indeed the Russian offensive and Russia is having a much higher rate of casualties in that battle in the Donbas for just a small tiny gain. The bad news for Ukraine is that it shows that likely from here on out, any gains will be very slow and with high casualty rates.

  880.  @danielanderson6933  very well put. The rankings are a guide but should not be the only measure. I’m from the star of Illinois and there are few very high quality public universities here. 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?
    7
  881.  @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.

  882.  @jackzhou4813  US didn’t invade Yugoslavia and and Afghanistan was 110% warranted. And vvumao, Taiwan never belonged to the PRC. Your logic would argue that Turkey can invade and take back all the Middle East, Northern Africa and southeast Europe. Do you support the ottomans, I mean Turkey, doing that?
    7
  883. Yes, the straight is way too important to let Turkey go. That’s the only reason Turkey is in NATO. The influence in NATO can change for Turkey though. NATO is less likely to support Turkey bare minimum so long as Turkey is a bad actor in NATO. We see the EU growing some balls and have cut funding to Hungary and I believe Poland for their non democratic ways.

  889. You’re post implies that the CCP is innocent in their weak cultural soft power. The US does not have as strong of influence in many of the west as you suggest and that sounds a lot like a ccp talking point. Are you even Korean? Even if the US wasn’t hyper critical of China, other westerners don’t like what the CCP is doing. In addition, China just doesn’t produce much content that would appeal to the international community. You think it’s US fault that Chinas movies and music don’t play well outside of China?

  893.  @TimothyCHenderson  "Measuring China's GDP per capita is tricky though ", yes, because they have been known to exaggerate it. In 2007, the then next in line to be leader (Xi would beat him though) said China's GDP numbers are man made and basically just goals. It's actually not hard to measure GDP per capita, it's just that China doesn't want to properly measure it for political reasons. US has perhaps the most reliable GDP numbers and it's the 3rd most populated country. Several studies have also shown that China is likely exaggerating their GDP number by at least 1%pt a year and it's true GDP is anywhere from 40% to 80% of what's officially reported.

  895.  @ruedelta  many Chinese cities have multiple tiers (or rings) though, which you don’t see in most western cities. They essentially have smaller “downtowns” outsider of the main central core. None of that addressed the fact that there are fewer and fewer people that can move into these mega cities. Imagine 30 years ago if chinas population inside of the 20 major cities vs outside was 700m inside and 700m outside. Over the 30 years, most of the population growth in the top 20 cities has come from that population inside China but outside of the top 20. So let’s say the split is now 1.1 billion inside and 300 million outside. There are now far less people to continue to populate the biggest cities. It will continued to increase but they just won’t have ability to increase anywhere near the level as before Beijing and Shanghai for example have seen much smaller population growth in recent years

  902.  @Davyjones5454  technically there are numerous parties but the system is designed so that major parties have too much control so you end up with two parties representing 98% of politics. One mor major party would make a world of difference so thus 2 of the 3 can work together on a specific legislation and get it done. As if is, one party can often block the other party from passing a piece of legislation Still 100x times better than China where there is only one true party and only the elites of that party do the real voting.

    7
  911. Great that you put it all in one video. I've seen these videos in their original release and you did a great job. What's great about Mexico is how many different things it offers that you could spend a long time in Mexico as a tourist and still not see enough. 1. Everyone knows the beaches. Riviera Maya has to be the most popular beach destination in the Americas. Cancun to Tulum and over to Cozumel there are beautiful beaches, world famous scuba diving sites, luxury hotels, affordable hotels, great party scene, great relaxing hotels or areas, etc. If you're over than 25 years old, Playa Del Carmen might be the best in that region. Riviera Maya is also near some beautiful Mayan pyramids and other structures. Some are right there on the beach like Tulum but a must is going a little inland to Chichen Itza! Some people think it’s just Chichen Itza but that pyramid is part of a larger ancient city with many structures still visible. It certainly does rival the Pyramid of Giza. 2. Other beaches. On the west coast you also have some very good beaches with actual older cities that have their traditions. Riviera Maya is mostly new cities and towns and you don’t get as much of the Mexico culture but on the west coast, you have access to some culture and city. Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan offer good beaches with beautiful cities/towns nearby. There are more quiet and more beautiful places up and down the coast as well. Or for some higher end fun, Cabo in Baja California is a great place as well. 3. Big cities with lots to see and do. Mexico City is probably the top choice as it’s arguably the biggest city in the Americas, has great food, lots to do, and interesting communities. You also can see many Archaeological Sites in and near Mexico City including the pyramid of Teotihuacan. Another major city with lots to see and do is Guadalajara. Guadalajara is near where Tequila is made so you have an option to visit some tequila distilleries. Some say the food is even better in Guadalajara than in Mexico City. 4. Smaller more traditional towns with lots of charm. These are cities/towns that many people think of when they picture a traditional Mexican town. The best IMO is the city of Guanajuato. It’s maybe 300k people but their historic area is in valley with beautiful views of the hills/mountains surrounding it and the beautiful colored homes that were the inspiration of the town in Coco from Pixar. San Miguel de Allende nearby is very similar but a bit more influence by the American/Canadian expat community there. Oaxaca city is a cross between a larger city and a traditional town – it has the charm of Guanajuato, lots of older architecture, big influence from indigenous people and culture, and has the best food in the country. All that while having a larger population of 700k. Crime is certainly an issue in some regions but it’s usually in areas that American tourist aren’t visiting much. Cities closer to or on the US border and communities high in the mountains is generally where much of the violence is at.

  912. 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.

  917. 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.
    7
  918. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea had 80% of the annual growth of China when those 3 were poor and middle income but they did it the right way with LONG term in mind. Chinas economic policy was far more interested in the gains of the moment (likely so they can show off to the world) at the expense of future growth. To put things in context, when SK / Japan / Taiwan each were around same gdp per capita as China today, they had 25+more years of 6-8% annual growth. China is expected To have 3% at most annual growth over next 25years!

  919.  @JOHNBURG1917 what? Is China paying people like u well? Chinas geo growth is now under 5% and dropping. That’s with China now going into big debt which means if their debt levels the past 5-10yrs were average, they might have growth half of what they have today

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 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?

  950. 4:08 some viewers complained you didn’t talk about some news but you said you had covered it a few times in the past. I think the issue is that this is a daily show and most viewers won’t watch every episode. I think a solution is to have a weekly recap of actions in China. Or a monthly recap. This format makes it really difficult to keep up with every little update so with a recap episode, the viewer will be able to see some news they may have missed from your Channel. And more importantly, the recap will also summarize all the happening of any story that is constantly changing. For example, let’s take housing crisis. 3 weeks ago there may have been X bailout but today it’s now up to 2X amount of bailout. A recap would cover all the topics discussed in the week or month but with latest information only.

  952.  @binskee677  Come on, no way anyone is arguing in good faith. Those loopholes were obvious but you defended the country by saying they can't because the constitution. We see this over and over again -- an authoritarian nation gets more powerful and they started acting bad.

  953.  @vanshkoshti9614  Credible to say what? That international organizations say india is becoming increasingly authoritarian? Or that such countries when they get more powerful mlitaires are generally not good actors? I guess if you think Ruzzia and Ch1na are good actors then it's very telling of Vansh views.
    6
  954.  @vanshkoshti9614  like typical supporters of authoritarian, need to justify it by Saying “but the west in the past treated Africa badly and etc”. Same stuff your buddies in China and Russia say to justify bad today. Always point to the past because examples aren’t as easy if you stick to today. But yes, I do not deny and i recognize that atrocities were committed by the west. Though EU? I’m assuming you use that short for Europe because the European Union is fairly new.

  955.  @vanshkoshti9614  I’m going to trust the various human rights groups and respectable media more than I will trust the government that they claimed is increasingly authoritarian. Btw, it s amazing how modi proved he wasn’t authoritarian when he had the bbc-India offices get raided after they ran a documentary critical of Modi. But maybe we are just misinformed and they never happened, right?
    6
  956.  @vanshkoshti9614  my point is that be very concerned with the direction India takes. All this support for modi is scary. Just like all the support for Donald T. But at least with Donald, there are more checks and balances than in India. I give Donald supporters the same criticism I’m giving here. Same with Turkey, Hungary, Phillipines, Russia, China, Venezuela and a few others that have gone backwards.

  957.  @anuroopchatterjee1746  "I can definitely assure you is that India will not become a full fledged authoritarian country" Because Anuroop said so. > We have too many different kinds of people to support And yet authoritarianism has increased and the minority are being discriminated against even more. So how can you say that because there any many different kinds of people to support it won't be an issue? Russia is FULL of many different kinds of people. They have several oblasts/regions that are majority or plurality of a non Slavic ethnic group. Yet they are highly authoritarian. Only 71% were ethnic Russian in 2021 census.

  958. I went to a safari in 2019. It was an amazing experience and I feel confident that they are a positive not only for animals but the people. We spent lots of money on the trip and it's still cheap compared to the lower luxury. The safari itself I spent nearly $1000 for 2 people for 4 days or so and nearly $2,000 for 9-10 days total in Kenya including flights. That included the hotel, the driver and vehicle to get us from Nairobi to the safari, the guide (also the driver), and spending buying things from the local maasai people. Downside was I get serious food or water poisoning. Now, the trophy hunting is something I'm not sure about. It incentivizes potential bad behavior in a system that can be corrupted. I understand it raises money and it's supposed to be hunting animals that are no longer fit to breed but the incentives are a potential problem. We need more research to really understand it.

  962.  @moonvo7368  yea, I know many Chinese Americans. They aren’t ashame of their Chinese background — they are shame of the CCP. Criticizing the CCP isn’t the same as not wanting identify as Chinese. It’s also typical of every ethnic group to see more distance between them and their ancestry. As a Mexican American first generation, I have some connection to being Mexican and proud of it. But my nieces and nephews second generation speak little Spanish and they are mostly proud or oaky with being Mexican but they also are more distance from it. I imagine their kids (3rd generation) will have zero connection to being Mexican especially if my nieces and nephews marry people of other backgrounds.

  963.  @raylopez99  zoning is the cause. There are literally many videos and probably a couple from this channel that show the effort it took to make the US less densely populated. It use to be far more densely populated, even many small towns. It was mostly post ww2 where they began removing lots of trams and bus routes plus closing some trains while promoting more driving. That was just the impact on the existing infrastructure that made most cities less walkable but then you had the explosion of suburbs with zoning that was mostly single family homes with minimum yard sizes. While europe didn’t have zoning changes that made single family homes the only house option, they did also become car centric up through the 70’s. It was in the 70’s that much of western Europe began to reverse direction and try to get cars off streets and improve public transit option. Take a look at Florece for example. They had a huge flood in 1966. Their historic central area in those pictures has large number of cars, dozens parked in front of the most popular tourist attraction the cathedral with the famous dome. Today, hardly any cars are even allowed in that center area and you can walk around for blocks without seeing a car and I don’t think I saw one street parked car in much of the center.

  965. This does not seem like a good use of deadly force. He didn’t charge at the officers and once he threw the knife, he was unarmed so shooting was just revenge / adrenaline at that point. In addition, it’s in a store and who knows what bystander could be hurt. But knowing this channel, most defend 99% of the lethal use of force as long as there was a tiny bit of a threat

  966. You're right, mostly. It's not like the crime is spread evenly so that predictability helps reduce the impact of the crimes. But the corruption that comes from the cartels is the bigger impact.

  972.  @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

If they don’t use the nuke, this war will go until Putin is forced out because he won’t be able draft more people. 700,000 already fled Russia.

Much like how Trump did NAFTA -- called it the worst trade deal in history then made few changes, rebranded it, and then claimed it's a great trade deal. People will buy what these guys are selling which is sad.

  990.  @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.

  991.  @overlord9476  “you’re assuming politics is only about economics”. so you’re agreeing that PRC wanting Taiwan is politics?

  995. Ukraine is going to receive much stronger weapons and defense with high level tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and missile defense systems such as the Patriot Missiles. That would give Ukraine the advantage and we will see more territory gain before another stalemate. I also suspect that sometime later in 2023, the west will give even more powerful weapons, especially if Russia continues to strikes civilians. Perhaps Himar with further distance -- it's limited to 50 miles (80km) but capable of nearly 200 miles or 300km. So I believe they will get something that might be 80-100 miles range. And/or they will receive some fighter aircraft.

They were given a choice and they chose not to turn AQ over to the US.

  1006.  @alexlazar4738  according to “The Hydrology of the Mekong River” study, more than 40% of the Mekong River water comes from China. What’s your source Curtis Jackson? Furthermore, from the study “In the upper part of the Lower Mekong system, at Vientiane, the flow originating from China and Burma, the so-called Yunnan Component, not only provides most of the dry-season flows, but in addition, most of the floodwater during the majority of years.”

  1007.  @alexlazar4738  oh, so now your saying that when south Vietnam needs water (dry season), the majority of the water comes from China?

  1008.  @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.

"The truth is, despite all the evil that China is doing, the majority of mankind consider China BY FAR the lesser evil in comparison with the US" And you're supposedly exiled Uyghur. Hahha!

One other reason not mentioned in the video of why Jews are rich is simply for the fact that over many centuries of being given the choice to be expelled or to convert to Christianity, the poor Jews with little skill or education couldn’t afford to leave and just converted to Christianity (thus removing them from the Jewish population) the educated or skilled Jews had the means to leave and continue being Jewish.

  1052. Japan has apologized numerous times before that there is a long list on wikipedia. Are there certain politicians in Japan that have said terrible things? Yes, but it's a relatively small number and does not represent Japan as a whole. It often feels that South Korea just keeps moving the goal post on what they need from Japan in order to move on. It appears that it's just used as political tool to stir up nationalism much how it's used in China. Is this a new era? Well, polling shows that China is now the most disliked country in South Korea so we may already be in a (slow) shift towards more normal relations between South Korea & Japan. And the reasoning for a shift towards more normal relations is likely both the threat of North Korea and the threat of China. It is indeed one of the most complicated and interesting relationships. Huge trading partners, relatively similar cultures, similar friends, and similar enemies. If they can just figure out this historic issue, they would be one of closest allies in the world.

Think of Mexicans in the southwest, Florida with many Caribbean & south Americans, and lesser extent Asians in the west coast 2. Jobs. Specific types of jobs that attract international people. Bay Area & NYC are great examples. And once you have a growing population of an ethnic group, it will attract more of that group.

In addition, seconds after that graph he mentions that China's $230b don't include paramilitary forces, coast guard, R&D, space program and many other military activities. Even mentions that in 2017, all those cost and adjusted for purchasing power & exchange rate it was equal to 87% of the US spending in 2017. In 2023, he states China's % of US spending is likely higher.

  1070.  @pottertheavenger1363  also, to point out the ignor*nce of buying all the company lands and then giving them tax breaks elsewhere as a solution over moving the large number of government jobs elsewhere, you don’t have to pay for the lands of government building but you do for business and you don’t have to lose tax revenue by tax cuts on government jobs moved but you do for businesses. So your solution is far more expensive than moving the government jobs elsewhere

  1071.  @pottertheavenger1363  also, to point out the how horrible of a plan it is of buying all the company lands and then giving them tax breaks elsewhere as a solution over moving the large number of government jobs elsewhere, here a a couple items of concern: 1. you don’t have to pay for the lands of government building but you do for business. You will have to pay well above market rate to incentivize the businesses to move 2. you don’t have to lose tax revenue by tax cuts on government jobs moved but you do for businesses. So your solution is far more expensive than moving the government jobs elsewhere

And none of them were global traders on the scale of Europe the past 400-500 years! Before the USD, it was the British who ruled world trade for maybe 200 years. Before the British it was the Dutch. Before the Dutch it was the Spanish. India has been fractured all that time and China was mostly a closed economy for at least 400 years before they opened up in the 1980’s or 90’s

  1087. @ Japan was never a a top 5 economy until 1980s! And It was a closed economy until the 1870’s! India was under British control since the 1700’s!

  1088.  @the1prodig432  those days where within the past 400 years but that doesn’t defend your argument. It indicates 200-300 years, Europe was financially much stronger than India and China due to the global trade they were engaged in. That is why the Europeans were easily able to beat India and China in t did days I provided. China was (relatively) poor by the 1700’s and India as well. If anything, you can’t argue that before 1950’s global trade was dominated by an Asian country since Indian and China were colonized in whole or part for at least a century before that date!

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.

In fact, investigators heard witness testimony that rebutted those charges." and: "In June 2020, former Ukrainian prosecutor general Ruslan Riaboshapka stated that an audit of thousands of old case files he had ordered in October 2019 had found no wrongdoing by Hunter B*den. Riaboshapka was described by Zelenskyy as "100 percent my person" during the July 2019 call in which Tr*mp asked him to investigate B*den"

  1104.  @Meh-hr7gq  your post makes no sense. I didn’t say you argued that Hunter or his dad shouldn’t be investigated. I pointed out they already where and Republicans found nothing and Tr*mp withheld aid to try to dig up dirt on his opponent. That was proven literally by the Audio recording.

  1106.  @thisiscarl7622  China has the ability to take all the South China Sea TODAY. Not 10 years nor 20 years ago nor 100 years nor 200 years ago. But the US with it's allies has an even bigger capability to do that. And China doesn't do it because there would be huge negative consequences to China from huge sanctions to possibly military action against them. They will also be seen even worse than Russia and people will greatly reduce their purchase of anything that benefits China. Regarding your comment about status quo, what China is doing is anything but the status quo -- it's aggressive policy which is why almost everyone in that region dislikes China and all are only worried about China. "In my opinion, maintaining the status quo is the best outcome for small countries to maintain peace. Countries like the Philippines, the more they provoke, the more they lose" And your argument that Philippines bringing this to the international courts is somehow a defense for what China is doing in retaliation is a joke. You are basically repeating CCP talking points that China gets what it wants regardless of what the international law says and regardless if China has any real claim while also saying China is then justify to do whatever it takes to get what it wants. What is your answer to why everyone in that region dislikes China and is only truly worried about China? You claim the Philippines shouldn't defend themselves and by bringing in more US forces for defense and going to the international courts, you blame them all while China is the one stealing and threatening to attack others. Sound very much like Putin apologist. Everyone in that region is afraid of Russia & Putin not recognizing their sovereignty and afraid of being invaded which Russia has shown they will do that - then when they seek protection, you justify Russia invading them.
    6
  1107.  @thisiscarl7622  - " I think the best result for both the Philippines and China is to put aside justice and pursue joint development," How can they when China continues to build islands and place military on those artificial islands and then tries to keep ships and planes from the area? Sounds a lot like you are trying your hardest to defend China stealing the South China Sea and then saying all parties should come together and work on a peaceful solution - “which is also the policy pursued by former Philippine President Duterte.” And yet during Duterte’s presidency China encroached on Phillipine territory. Duterte only pretended to not be bothered later so he can get more out of the US. - “In the past five years, there has been no friction or displeasure between China and the Philippines” Did you forget in May 2022 that the Philippines had filed a diplomatic protest with China for unilaterally declaring a South China Sea fishing ban, and complained also of harassment and violations of its jurisdiction by Beijing's coast guard? Duterte was still president May and June 2022. And In Dec 2022 The Philippines' Defense Ministry said it would boost its military presence following reports China embarked on fresh land reclamation projects in the South China Sea. - “after the new Philippine President Marcos came to power last year, he actively engaged in military interaction with the United States and leased four military bases to the United States. This is obviously a hostile action against China,” So China building military bases on Spratley Islands and encroaching on Philippines is okay but when Philippines takes actions to defend itself from encroachment by allowing US to use it’s bases that’s somehow wrong? This is exactly what I meant. You defend every terrible thing your (China) government does and when anyone tries to defend themselves from China’s aggression, it’s somehow that other countries fault and not China.

But China until 2021 or so was building almost entirely dirt cheap vehicles that sell for little. "Without economies of scale, companies will not open plants. " You do understand that factories are built all over the world for vehicles? And that because of the price of shipping vehicles is expensive, manufacturing tends to be close to the market. That's why Mexico is a big car producer -- literally the point of this video. That's why Japanese companies have many factories in north America. That's why the vast majority of China's build is for domestic market and it's exports are Russia next door and Australia.

People like to spin it as if North Korea and China aren’t threats and that’s it’s all bluff. The realty is the military and government of South Korea and Taiwan are preparing for the worst and don’t fully take it as a bluff but the people get numb to everything and it gets normalized. I grew up in the ghetto and I was use to it (wasn’t too worried) even though the violence and gun shots where real. I’ve moved on to an upper middle class life and I’m very scared now when i enter neighborhoods similar to what I grew up in. The more your inside those threats, the more decenticized you get and more normalize it all becomes.

  1138. Nah, this is way too close sounding and he might loose in this lawsuit. The intent was clear — he was trying to copy taco john. In Spanish they pronounced (almost) identical and if he wasn’t trying to copy them he would have called it “Chon’s taco”.
    6
  1139. ​ @leovardobarrios5741  None of that matters. It was a clear attempt to copy Taco John's name. He could be selling different style tacos, the point is Taco John's has a case against him because it does sound close to the same and the intent is there. He had the option to go with "Chon's Taco" or "Taqueria Chon" or "Los tacos de Chon" but he specificially went with "Taco Chon" to copy taco john's. anyone who isn't just trying to root for the little guy can see this.

  1141.  @the1prodig432  you changed the topic! The OP didn’t say that Asian countries had big economies, he was arguing why the main currency would shift to Asian countries defended that by saying an asian a country has been the most dominant before the USD. Clearly that’s not true which is why you can say which Asian country was THE most dominant in trade. Instead, after you were caught with bad arguments, you now think just naming any big economies AND naming todays big economies somehow defends the original argument that before the USD the biggest trading economies where Asian. 😂

  1142.  @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.

  1144.  @pipiqiqi4010  3rd of 3 replies. Sorry for making it long. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED CHINA though. Not the govt but the rest. The food, nature (we went inland and the mountains of Yunan & nearby), and much of the culture from the temples to the things to do to and much more. But my ex and some of her friends who disliked Xi were often very reluctant to say anything bad about China though. I think it's a cultural thing from Chinese govt. In the US and the west in general, its common to criticize your own government. maybe because we have choice and criticizing the govt isn't tied to criticizing the people that make up that country. But I'm guessing in one party or one person rule type of government, they are taught criticizing the government is criticizing the people. When Xi is gone & if someone replaced him that will move China back progress being made under Hu Jintao, I will likely go back to China. I saw Beijing, Yunnan, Dalian, and nearby those areas but I still need to see Shanghai and the south.

A slow decline of Russia that will make it harder for Russia to fight a full fight but it won't lead to Putin giving up because there will need to be an economic collapse, which won't happen. The hope is that a weakened Russia leads to Ukraine slowly taking back it's lands.

  1149. This basically confirms what I had already heard — the US bases are mostly supported but a loud minority of mostly older people are very against it. Most understand the security it brings and the money it brings Though one thing not discussed in the video is that most of these soldiers are 18-22yrs and often get drunk and cause problems. Anywhere where large number of 18-22yr old men are is going to have some issues that come with such a demo.

Why are there so many wumaos?

  1158.  @Hallstyle  ok, then clarify and say that it’s horrible that China has concentration camps and committing a genocide in 2021.

I bet you will refuse to acknowledge the atrocity again (without using more whataboutism).

In Chicago, the elevated lines aren’t a noise problem because make buildings have a large sidewalk which means the buildings are further away than in neighborhoods where the L Train could be 10ft from your window!! Furthermore, downtown the first couple floors are generally lobby, retail , parking, etc. most residential units start perhaps 2 or more floors above the train.

  1187.  @marcusaustralius2416  a government collapse does usually take decades, an economic collapse can happen suddenly. I think China will now see a only modest growth and declining growth. Projections before had 4-5% annual growth 2022-2030. It’s probably going to be 3%, which is a huge drop. But there is potential for a zero or negative growth for a few years. If the housing market crashes it can lead to a banking crash which could mean recession for a lengthy period of time.

  1189.  @vanshkoshti9614  the thing is that developing countries usually tend to become less authoritarian over time. But India is going the other way. Much like China and Russia. I guess i can give developing countries a break when they are not the type they can afford a powerful military. It seems that’s the difference— countries moving up in wealth that are powerful tend to become more authoritarian. Maybe the smaller countries feel more pressure from the more democratic countries to become more democratic but a bigger country doesn’t have that pressure and this leaders take advantage and start becoming authoritarian.

If you don't invest in public transit, incentivize car culture, and don't properly tax land use then you might still see many of the issues seen across most US cities/metros. Just take a look at Houston downtown in 1970's vs today. In 1970's, over half of downtown Houston appears to be parking lots! Not garage parking but just flat open parking! I don't know exactly what lead to it but I assume with terrible public transit, people were forced to drive to downtown which means more parking lots and thus lower population density.

  1203. 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.

  1204.  @Zoedreammovies  the US is probably half way between Japan and Netherlands / Germany. Japan is extremely timid in how they respond while Dutch / Germans are straight to the point. Americans usually tell you the truth but in a very nice way. Using what I’m sure is not 100% accurate but Illustrates my point, imagine the question “does this clothes make me look fat?” And the actual answer is yes. Dutch / Germans: yes it does Japanese: you look good Americans: there might be something better to wear. (Or “no, but it’s not a good style for you”)

By itself not enough to collapse but if it’s listed one of 3 major reason for russias economic troubles. You are purposely creating a strawaman that others argued that the 500K+ alone would collapse the economy. Creating strawmans to defend Russia is a common tactic of gnomes. Also would like to mention that 500k educated workforce suddenly leaning put of 60m workforce by itself would be about 1-2% of gdp. If they don’t return, that’s 1-2% lower growth every year then they otherwise would have. It adds up. And the people leaving is likely increasing at a good rate.

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.

  1212. 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.

Their interest are dangerous to the world which is also why it shouldn't have been a surprised they didn't remain neutral. Europe will be the real challenger but that's good. China and Russia will have trouble actually making serious allies and what RUS has done in Ukraine and how CN has acted towards Europe and others in East Asia, it actually strengthened 'the west'.

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.

  1245. Just an FYI, the video early on suggest europe was poor when they started exploring And colonizing the world. That’s not true. In 1500, Western Europe had a higher gdp per capita than China or India. By 1600, when only Spain and Portugal had any substantial colonies, Western Europe had 50% higher gdp per capita than China or India. What europe lacked in natural resources they had made up with innovation and better run economies.

It can fudge the numbers a little bit which is why it’s not perfect system but it’s clear that if you compare one country with X gdp per capita and another country with 1.5x gdp per capita, the country with 1.5x higher gdp per capita is most certainly a better economy and people are generally much better off in that 1.5x country. But say if you’re comparing one country with another that is 1.2x, then it’s close enough that that the gdp per capita by itself isn’t enough to say which is better.

Farmers were not only deprived of their properties but a large swath of these were also exiled in Siberia with no means of survival. Those who were left behind and attempted to escape the zones of famine were ordered to be sh0t

Monterrey in the north is one of if not the richest city in Mexico per capita. There are growing number of factories opening up near Monterrey as well as headquarters (for latin america, north america, or mexico) opening up in that city. With many countries decoupling from China, they are increasingly looking at Mexico to build products for North America market and that includes Chinese companies. Monterrey is a top choice for them. There's also Queretaro and Guadalajara. Queretaro IIRC is 2nd wealthiest in per capita after Monterrey.

Wanting bigger homes, better cars, etc. The govt could help doing what Australia does and require X% of income of an individual be directly put into a retirement account. So basically a 401k that's required though unlike a 401k, the Australian model does allow certain actions that you can't do with a 401k. At the same time, keep social security. So in such a scenario, everyone has social security AND everyone has 401k. People are not smart, governments should help save their own money.

  1325. 6:50 it’s a graph of housing prices in the US over time. What most of these miss is the price per sq ft. The size of a new home built in the past 15 years is 2.5 times larger than the size of a home built in 1960, roughly 2.3k to 2.5k sq ft vs 900-1000 sq ft. Two factors going on — part of it is Americans want bigger and bigger homes so compare 1950’s suburban home to 2000’s suburban home. But it also has to do with zoning — after ww2 there was a big increase single family housing zoning meaning fewer multi unit buildings. More single family homes and bigger single family homes means fewer homes in a given area — which means increased prices. As long as the American dream is the big house with the big yard, I don’t think we will see a change much to building smaller more affordable homes.

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!

It is a great policy and better than welfare though that doesn't mean we should cut welfare -- I just think we should utilize EITC more. It incentivizes the poor to actually work.

  1336.  @whiteerdydude  Oh, so you're ignoring the cost of of buying out all the homes and property. I thought I made that part clear. But I"m not even sure if you remove the costs of land if what you state is accurate. I found this: - The average light-rail line under construction or in planning stages today costs $25 million per mile ($50 million per mile in both directions). Heavy rail costs more than twice as much. By comparison, the average lane mile of freeway costs only about $5 to $10 million. Since freeway lanes carry far more people than any rail line outside of New York, they are much more cost effective. Running express buses on high-occupancy vehicle or high-occupancy/toll lanes will carry more people at a far lower cost than rail. And VOX has an article titled "Why does it cost so much to build things in America?" and they show comparisons of cost per km of many countries. They actually report about $550 million per km or approximately $880 million per mile for rapid rail transit That's likely because they are looking at the whole cost of projects and just the literal rail on the floor that you probably on accounted for.

  1353. That's an interesting comparison. I think one big differences is the loan to the Bank of Switzerland is likely to be paid back and loans to Ukraine are likely to not be paid back by Ukraine (maybe by a 3rd party though).

  1354.  @cageybee7221  One decade to pay all the loans? That's assuming the war ends today. This war will continue for a while. Also, are we including the loans that will be provided to rebuild Ukraine or are we only looking at the loans during the war? If we are considering the loans after the war, no way Ukraine will ever be able to pay off most or all of those loans.
    5
  1355.  @cageybee7221  A decade after the peace deal is signed? But the longer the war goes, the most debt they will have. Imagine 4 yrs of this -- 4x the debt they already have! And you're saying the the EU would give Ukraine over $100 billion euros in loans to pay other loans? And that's not including the hundreds of billions more needed to rebuilt Ukraine.

  1358. This is a very complicated subject. I do think Kurdistan region in Iraq is another similar example. Both are persecuted minorities that are part of a country that is relatively new. Serbia formed out of Yugoslavia and Iraq was formed in the 1920's out of the Ottoman Empire. I can see argument for their indepdence but also arguments for an autonomous region within those governments. The justifications for indepdence is that they are a persecuted ethnic minority group that historically weren't controlled by that government. The argument for remaining part of those countries (but some autonomy) is that it can set precedent for so many other conflicts around the world. Considering how terrible they are or were treated, I lean on support for indepdence but under the same conditions mentioned by the professor at the end -- giving a level of autonomy to the ethnically Serbian region of Kosovo.

  1359.  @AndreVictorGoncalves  You are questioning if it's better to be in China's position? Where 70% of people's wealth are in homes, 30% of GDP is tied to construction, and they have 1/5 the GDP per capita of the US?
    5
  1360.  @AndreVictorGoncalves  My numbers are wrong? Then why not state what those numbers are? Hmmmm Second, China investing heavily on infrastructure is ALSO a problem now. They have built up a large amount of debt in more recent years building infrastructure that really isnt needed. Polymatter (a friend and 'coworker' of Wendover through Nebula) has many videos detailing China's issues with it's debt and infrastructure spending. Long story short and in the simplest way that I think a child (u) can understand, more infrastructure isn't always good because it gets harder and harder to find more projects that have return on investment making it worth it. Imagine two cities separated by river. One bridge bring GREAT return on investment (ROI). The 2nd bridge brings good ROI but less ROI. Each bridge will bring lower and lower ROI. If building that 100th bridge is or sure going to be far more costly than the ROI you get from that bridge Everything you stated and the tone of it suggest you work for Beijing.

  1368.  @tren133  "Tesla in no way produces 2 million cars a year. At least not yet. " You're right, that's the current capacity. China's plant is 1/3 the total capacity. Tesla opened up a HUGE facility in Texas and another factory in Germany in 2022. In addition, they are in the process of building Gigafactory Mexico for 2024 opening. That means a smaller and smaller share of of what Tesla produces will be from China. The point is you were very misleading with ". The EV value chain inside China is just that much more advanced than anywhere else in the world. Only last year did the US try to enact laws such as the IRA to try to stimulate a EV supply chain inside the US in order to catch up, " The US is part of NAFTA (or whatever the name is now) so a lot of it's productions are across 3 countries. Tesla already had the same capacity in the US as it did in China BEFORE the "IRA to try to stimulate a EV supply chain inside the US in order to catch up". And a big reason Tesla is building in China is because the tens of billions in subsidies they have received. >As for Russia, I'm certain Chinese exports now make up a higher percentage of the market, but that's due more to overall market crashing and western carmakers pulling out rather than Chinese carmakers sending more cars in That's kind of my point. That 600,000 of that increase from 2021 to 2022 was from sanctions on Russia. >Even if the Chinese now hold 50% markeshare inside Russia, that would still only account for a small 5-6% of their total export numbers. I dont have figures on the value by country but in 2022, Russia was about 20-25% of the automobile exports for China. 600k out of about 2.5 million or 3.1 million vehicles. (I'm seeing two different numbers). (edit: 2.5 million is passenger vehicles, 3.1 million include commercial vehicles).

  1380.  @bhaashatepe5234  "he US and NATO invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia .. Afghanistan, Libya, and Yugoslavia had UN support. Syria, it was to defend Kurds and what the US did to defend the Kurds and others was limited -- while Russia was helping Assad who was dropping chemical weapons on civilians. In addition, Russia was doing the same war crimes they do in Ukraine -- they were purposely targeting civilians. Iraq, it's arguably illegal but Iraq had failed on 12 UN resolutions. There were also a large number of countries (Including the Russia you defend) that had stated they might support military intervention if Iraq continues to fail to meet it's obligations. Iraq had also made threats to attack the US to go along with the UN resolutions that were put in place when Iraq used chemical weapons on civilians in Kurdistan. It's obvious you are repeating the Russia talking points I see EVERYWHERE used to defend Russia. But let's compare the above to Russia invading a country (Ukraine) that was not making any threats to Russia. An invasion with the purpose of a landgrab much like the 2014 invasion. And in the process, Russia has committed some of the worst war crimes in a long time -- executing mass number of people, r-aape of adults AND children (have to misspell r--e just in case), etc. Almost every time Russia fights, it's fighting for the bad side. You can argue that the US should not be involved in those conflicts and wars you mentioned, but in every one of those cases the US was either attacked first (Taliban Afghanstan) or they were defending a group against a brutal dictatorship. Russia on the other hand sides with the bad side -- Assad who used chemical weapons on civilians and themselves in a landgrab in Ukraine 2014 and 2022 as well as 2008 Georgia.

You are basically arguing that Russia or anyone can then later invade a country, oust many who are against Russia, use pro-aganda, then have them become part of Russia. Kosovo never agreed to be part of Serbia and another country didn't invade Serbia/Kosovo, force anti serbia people out, then try to annex it. The situations are little a like.

I grew up in 80's and 90's schooling in the USA and I can certainly say there has been a major shift in how we teach US history. As a kid, it was mostly American Exceptionalism and romanticizing early American and pre-American 17th & 18th with talk about slavery as bad and limited discussion the treatment Native Americans faced. But now they teach a lot more of the earlier problems and less romanticizing the era. More focus on the plight of the native Americans and more focus on history of other minorities, especially black history.

  1387.  @mxn1948  the US would gladly trade removing all troops from South Korea in exchange for a peaceful North Korea. It’s actually very dumb comment with your suggestion that the US would be a threat to invade China from North Korea. Remind me again of when the US last fought a nuclear power? Remind me again how the US has invaded Russia while nato borders Russia? It’s typical of CCP trolls to argue that the US would potentially invade China. That’s makes it easy for you people to justify any action china does anywhere as it attempts to expand by either invading Taiwan or taking the South China Sea with its military as it builds fake islands.

He argued that at 15:10 that oil companies had all the incentives with no drawback to invest their profits in new drilling to increase oil production in 2021/2022. But the reality is that the fracking bust has many oil execs worried about new drilling unless it’s cheap drilling. In 2021 and early 2022, they expected the the gas prices to drop and that the oil price increase was short term so it would be a bad choice to invest in more expensive drilling right now. He cherry picked quotes from those execs which is why you have to be careful with agendas driven channels. But the rest of the video was spot as far as I understand it.

  1409. Another great video. I was aware of some of the basic facts of history but this was perhaps the best 'short video' on the topic I've seen discussing the relevant history and current situation. This wouldn't be a problem if Turkey 100 years ago had agreed to a free Kurdish state but they decided they wanted that region and war ensued. The past is unfortunately the past and now that the territory belongs to Turkey, there is no chance Turkey will ever allow it be independence. PKK have also engaged in terrorism making things more difficult to gather international support for independence even if the chance for independence was already close to 0. I don't trust Erdogan one bit and I'm sure he will take any opportunity to punish all Kurds if given the chance. Will he invade Syria? Depends on how much pushback is coming from his NATO partners. If there isn't a very high amount of pushback with some consequences, I do think he will invade.

When we met, she had been in the US for about 7 years (2 years grad school & then 5 years working). I was shocked by a lot of things she said even though she had been out of China 7 years. While she disliked the Xi, she still had these believes that were very much straight from the govt of China. We were together 5 years and I can say by the end, she had mostly got rid of many of those beliefs that were ingrained in her by the govt of China -- mostly media but also schools and what gets said among the people which is heavily influenced by what the state media says.

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?

  1439.  @i_am_acai  it’s like OP (@NT) didn’t even watch the video. But the fact he seems to be putting almost all the blame on Ticketmaster and not the artist means Ticketmaster is doing it’s job well of shielding the artists.
    4
  1440.  @asherpins6568  the prices would ultimately still be the same no matter if Ticketmaster exist or not. It’s still a supply and demand force driving the final prices. Ticketmaster is just allowing artists to pretend to sell tickets for less and then blame Ticketmaster for the fees.
    4
  1441.  @nintando  the level of blame you put on Ticketmaster tells me you didn’t watch the video or understand the video. If Ticketmaster didn’t exist, the total price would be about the same as it is now.

  1461. 100% agree as American. A stronger europe means the US not only has stronger partners but partners more capable of checking the US if it strays too far in one direction. But europe just doesn’t want to pay to become stronger but many of them complain about it nonetheless.

  1467.  @stephenjenkins7971  Didn't stop who? you need to be specific of what countries since there is too much going on. Do you mean Russia-Ukraine? Well, Russia did sort of similar in 2008 and 2014 so it's not that unexpected . Russia was also involved in Syria for the past decade. What wars have Latin American countries been involved with against other nations in recent years? My point is that your argument doesn't hold. >Basically, it makes sense to hedge your bets rather than hoping for the goodness of another's heart. So the US or Canada should build a wall just in case?
    4
  1468. All the issues are related to serious national security concerns of Israel. But Gaza voted for Hamas who are terrorist and Hamas wants to destroy all of Israel. Israel will never give up any lands and the only way to curb their aggression is for Palestinians to stop using terrorism and for neighboring countries to stop threatening Israel. But too many Palestinians want to evict all Jews or eliminate Israel that Israel feels threatens and overreacts. A two state solution is the only path to peace but it will only happen if terrorism subsides in the palestinian lands.

  1471. 3:06 “quickly reverse engineer”. Sometimes but often they literally stole the design. I work in the manufacturing industry and in the 2000’s and into 2010’s, China required that factories that set up shop in China had to give some ownership to local firms. They had access to the all the designs, data, etc which then they often used to create their own firm or sell the info to others that copied the design.

  1473.  @Redmanticore  China is not doing the best choice. When South Korea, Japan, Taiwan all reached the GDP per capita that China is today, those 3 had annual GDP growth of 6-8% for some 25 years. China is expected to have about 3% growth over next 25 years. That's a huge difference. 7% annual growth over 25 years would produce about 2.5x higher GDP than 3% annual growth. This means that in 25 years, China will be at only 40% of what Japan/SK/Taiwan were 25 years after they reached China's current GDP per capita

  1476. $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.
    4
  1477.  @LifeMaxxer.  comment sections have been taken over by CCP trolls and CCP apologist that feel they must defend the fact that China built too many of the higher speed HSR in order for China to fake to the world how rich they are.

Red states also have highest homicide rates. NYC & LA have lower homicide rate than national average despite being large cities with typical poverty issues. You pointing to Chicago just shows your NRA talking points aren't valid.

  1485. Weaknesses also include a rapidly shrinking economic growth with this year likely to be 2nd year in 3 years with gdp growth under 3%. Baking crisis already forming where many are not paying their bank loans on construction properties that have been delayed and some banks are limiting withdrawals leading to protests. And the housing market is about to crash with prices dropping already and construction been halted in many places. There is also the demographic crisis where working age population is already shrinking and total population will begin shrinking shortly

  1486. 8:55 ok, calm TF down with the suggestion the US, etc were responsible for the breakdown in Haiti. “Unelected”. On 5 July 2021, Herny was selected as the next prime minister of Haiti by President Jovenel Moïse, but two days later, Moïse was assassinated, stalling the transfer of power
    4
  1487. There estimates from research based on night time lights and correlation to GDP that Chinas actual gdp might be only half of what China has officially stated. I wonder now if that huge difference between estimates and official GDP is a lot to do with ineffective growth of GDP. Building millions of excess homes that don’t get utilize would increase gdp but add no actual value. Building many high speed rails that don’t get used much and bleed lots of money increase gdp and add little actual value. And housing and rail are two of the big spending industries so I imagine it would artificial fluff up the gdp a lot and there are many more examples. So maybe China isn’t lying by that much on gdp but it’s a lot of artificial growth?

  1489.  @MisterFoxton  Yeah, actually, I think that's the part where they did cross the line of click bait. Even it was misleading that Russia actually paid Ukraine when it was just Ukraine doesn't have to pay a debt, saying "Russia just had to pay..." is wrong when that's not what the decision said.
    4
  1490.  @BigBoiiLeem  But the title makes to very misleading comment. First, that Ukraine will be receiving $3 billion to their current situation. They are not. Second and more troubling is that the title states it as a certainty. At 5:02 they specifically say that Ukraine may still have to pay and that it was just that their appeal was granted. A separate court decision will decide on what will actually happen.

  1491. Caught this on Nebula. Very interesting. I'm in my 40's and grew up in the era before the internet (the web) and lots of people thought Columbus proved the world was wrong in a time when most believed it was flat. I believe even some of my teachers said that while others were clear that the people knew it was round but didn't know how big the earth was. I don't know why they continued that fallacy. But it it did seem like during the 90's and certainly 2000's, the truth became more well known. Why in 2023 or recent years people still think that 1400's Europeans thought the world was flat is surprising.

    4
  1499.  JCO2able  inflation adjusted includes housing costs. You really should educate yourself. Also, homes today are nearly double the size of homes in the 70’s. People today would be far better of financially if they lived in smaller homes like “the good old days”

  1531. There are problems with speed cameras in their implementing that isn’t discussed here. The issue is they are often done as a speed trap where the speed limit drops in one area without very clear wings the speed limiting is dropping. In Chicago that often means a park or a small school that isn’t very visible and they put up just one sign saying speed limit drops. If they really cared about protecting people, they would make sure the sign has flashing lights or something to draw your attention. Chicago can’t be the only place where it’s obviously a money machine first and care for people second. Also a problem with red light cameras but that was discussed.

Japan, Taiwan, South Korea had 80% of the annual growth of China when those 3 were poor and middle income but they did it the right way with LONG term in mind. Chinas economic policy was far more interested in the gains of the moment (likely so they can show off to the world) at the expense of future growth. To put things in context, when SK / Japan / Taiwan each were around same gdp per capita as China today, they had 25+more years of 6-8% annual growth. China is expected To have 3% at most annual growth over next 25years!

But I don’t think farming should count as one resource like oil…Would only be comparable if the farming was just one crop. Otherwise, oil would have to be included with mining minerals, gas, and other natural resources

  1548.  @m.j.n.808  Your post made me think about the older population. There are probably close to 1 million Koreans that are old enough to remember being under Japanese occupation. As they pass away, will the frustration and holding on to the historic grievances quickly fade or at least quickly began to be reduced? Obviously the kids of those elderly were likely taught that same anger but It would likely be less frustration among that group. And with each generation, there will be less negativity to the topic.

  1550.  @firephoenixgamers8590  why would you question it? Russia has 200k troops and sent at least another 300k with some estimates closer to 500k additional. That’s 500k-700k sent to Ukraine and it seems the will be having another round of mobilization. There wouldn’t be any such discussion unless the casualties are indeed near or above 200k. There’s even footage of one spot in Bakhmut where over 100 Russian vehicles were destroyed and over a hundred bodies can be seen — all of which supposedly happened in a few days span. That why they estimate 30k casualties from Russia just in Bakhmut.

And i would venture to guess that vast majority who support status quo support independence of China agreed not to invade. The whole situation changed because Xi became more aggressive towards Taiwan and Taiwan lost all hope and desire for even a future unification after what PRC did to Hong Kong. Since then Taiwan has become increasingly anti China and anti unification

  1565.  @jannecoolen2816  " But around 2009 the Russian sentiment had shifted: " Well before 2009 there was no interest in either side to have Russia as NATO. The 2008 invasion of Georgia basically caused a massive rift but Russia was already heading in that direction before and mid 2000's Putin was making anti EU anti NATO comments. The war on terrorism did creat cooperation but I think with rising oil & gas prices in mid 2000's, Russia felt they could be more aggressive and wouldn't need NATO. Regarding EU, I 100% agree. OP wasn't asking in good faith (pro Putin/Ruzzia) but the requirements for EU are tough and Russia along with several others interested just have too much corruption and or not enough democracy. Given how Hungary and to a less extent Poland has acted in the EU, it will likely be even tougher to join the EU today and in the future.

  1566. "The money-losing routes in the Western China are actually means to 'connect' the provinces with strong desire to gain independence, like Xinjiang, Tibet and even Hong Kong." Yes, they are actually using HSR in part to further oppress the people of Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong. The more Han and pro CCP people they can get to go to these places, the more they drown out the locals. But they also do many of these money-losing routes that don't go to Xinjiang or Tibet because China wants to pretend it's much richer than they are. They (and the paid CCP trolls online) constantly tout how much HSR they have.

  1589.  @realname4401  and you bring up the various private debt to gdp numbers of US, that depends what they are counting as private debt and what year it was done. 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. It was an easy catch for me so it suggest you are here to defend china

  1590.  @jie1379  Yes, China does have good transportation to move goods. But their economic growth is shrinking fast and we are seeing other low cost countries step in.

What we are seeing is just fewer factories being created in China while other countries are picking up that slack.

  1594.  @xiphoid2011  originally from Shanghai!! So a vvumao indeed. Makes sense why you refuse to acknowledge the massive scale difference between the informal workers in China vs the US

  1595.  @xiphoid2011  “i never said anything about 2-3% vs 50% of people paying taxes”. From the start I said you were ignoring the MASSIVE differences between the two and you repeatedly refused to acknowledge it. So you saying “I never said anything about 2-3% vs 50%” is exactly my point — you are refusing to say anything about it. How can you believe you are engaging in a good faith argument? You said in the other comment which you refused to answer that what’s happening in China is “pretty much true everywhere more or less” and I brought up on many times that it’s more remotely similar and that scale is massively different. Yet you refuse to acknowledge the massive difference and still seem to suggest that 2-3% paying taxes is basically the same as 50% paying a tax. You have also refuse to prove you aren’t vvumao by refusing to acknowledge what’s happening in Xinjiang. so why refuse to acknowledge the massive difference between 2-3% vs 50%, continue to equate the situations, and refuse to acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang??
    4
  1596.  @xiphoid2011  just clear everything up and tell the truth: 1. There is a g8noc1de in Xinjiang 2. 2-3% paying taxes in China is a massive difference compared to 50% in the US 3. That Chinas large informal workforce and few paying taxes isn’t remotely on par to the US. You’re constant refusal to answer that really does suggest vvumao
    4
  1597.  @xiphoid2011  the majority of income in the US is paid by the top 2%. And the top 1% pay 40% of the federal income tax. Is that not true? My whole argument was that you said Chinas situation where very few pay most of the taxes is similar as the US and I pointed out that scale for the difference is massive — 2% in China pay taxes while 50% in the US. Why can’t you acknowledge that massive difference? For the same reason you can’t acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang? Vvumao much? So what we have is you doing the following: 1: unable to acknowledge that 2% paying a tax is massively different than 50%. 2. Unable to acknowledge the top 2% pay over half the US taxes 3. Unable to acknowledge that it’s not about the same that China has such a large informal workforce that very small % pay even pay payroll taxes 4. Like a typical vvumao, doesn’t believe there is a g8noc1de in Xinjiang

  1598.  @xiphoid2011  so basically you have a very expanded definition of middle class that includes out to 1% who earn over $500k. Ok, we won’t agree there. But you can understand how not honest it is to use language that suggest the top 1% (the rich as you define) aren’t paying much taxes when they pay 40% of the taxes, right? And you do agree that the top 2% in the US do pay more than the lower 98%? I’m going to leave labels out of this such as Poot or middle class or rich. Surely you can acknowledge those stats? And you can acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang..stars with “gen” ends in “ocide”. Remember, this was all about me pointing out that equating China and US is ignoring the massive difference in the numbers so surely you can acknowledge that 50% of Americans paying a tax is much much higher than 2%? Just stick to facts — no need to use labels that are subjective
    4
  1599.  @xiphoid2011  it’s also not much of the “middle” when argue the 1.1% richest person is in the middle. - Pew Research defines middle-income Americans as those whose annual household income is two-thirds to double the national median (adjusted for local cost of living and household size). For a family of three, that ranges from $52,200 to $156,600 when the 2018 incomes used in a Pew study - - For high earners, a three-person family needed an income between $106,827 and $373,894 to be considered upper-middle class, Rose says. Those who earn more than $373,894 are rich. - Upper-middle class $106,827-$373,894 - Rich $373,894 and up

  1600.  @xiphoid2011  "You are still trying to attack say something that I didn't say." But you literally said it was more or less the same in the US as in China. Why not be honest about it? "so you conceded to my stated fact that the middle class pays more taxes than the rich." I literally gave you sources showing 'rich' is $370k and above salary. but you keep calling anything short of $530k NOT upper class. So I said since you won't go by what the experts say, let's ditch the labels. G8noc1de denier, why won't you acknowledge that the top 2% pay over 50% of the taxes? I'm saying that 2-98% pay almost the same as the top 2% but you won't acknowledge that? This is all started because you said China is more or less the same as the US and I was saying that's grossly inaccurate to say they are more or less the same considering 2% pay in China and 50% pay in US. It's like saying a player who scored 50pts in a basketball game was more or less similar to someone who scored 2pts just because both scored. G8noc1de denier, I said 2-98% do pay almost the same as top 2%. 1-2% income earners qualifies as upper class. And my whole argument from the start was not honest comparison that the US and China are more or less the same on this.

  1611. 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.

What europe lacked in natural resources they had made up with innovation and better run economies.

It was barely mentioned in the video. Just because the ethnic group Albanians weren't mentioned by Romans/Byzantines before the 11th century doesn't mean they came out of nowhere. Historians aren't sure but some do speculate albanians were Illyrians and other groups that had been living in the region. Some don't. So it's odd for you to say it's a lie.

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.

  1631.  @yarumillai6180  yes, famine could hit India if everyone acted like India. And your comparison to the west given loads of money each year to India enacting policies what could cause massive world wide problems if others did the same is not an apt comparison — not even remotely similar

  1632.  @yarumillai6180  might I suggest you actually look at the video of Muslims talking about this and sharing their experience so far? Vice News has a video titled something like “India is stripping Muslims of their homes and right”. Or NYT “‘Modi denies india is targeting Muslims. We found a different reality”. You won’t watch those videos because you want to continue to mislead “but the law hasn’t actually passed so therefore nothing is happening!”

  1633.  @yarumillai6180  "I mean NYT definitly didn't say that sarees are f@scist " who made that statement? You just created a strawman.

Like I said, you guys are just looking for excuses to keep using this for political reasons. >A small minority that assume the highest political positions in Japan Still a small minority of the political positions. Again, you are just looking for excuses. >You seem to have difficulty understanding what being a state representative means. The President is the head of state So you're saying most of the presidents of Japan have denied it? Source?? >Considering that Japan does not have a religiously neutral institution like Arlington, Because the US is very secular when it comes to public monuments. You should know this. >How many are Class A war criminals? In the Yasukunia shrine? About 0.0005% of the names on the shrine. >"You're operating under the false assumption that Korea is obligated to be silent just because other countries are doing so." you're operating under the false assumption that I said South Kore is legally obligated to never accept an apology. You're operating under the false assumptions that we can't criticize governments for using this as a political football while it damages their national security. >The Vietnamese state may not, but go to central Vietnam Yet 82% of Vietnamese have a favorable opinion of Japan and South Korea and even higher for the US. Are you not capable of understand that 82% is much more than the 25% approval of Japan there is in South Korea? And are you able to understand that some in Vietnam still having grievances doesn't mean it's a grudge held on by the average person?

  1660.  @felchap1205  most of the time you transition away from so much state control you first run into a drop in gdp and downward pressures on the economy but by the 80’s the economy was doing much better than it ever was and it continued to grow for years. The moderate Chicago boy policies from the mid 1980’s were important but none of that was possible without first removing so much government from the economy. You have to be ignorant of Chile economic history or say things were okay before the Chicago boys. Inflation was rising under socialist Allende and real wages dropped considerably during that time. The economy was in shambles and Chile was a por country. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Chile-the-real-wage-1967-1977_with_lines.png - 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. - Although price rises had also been high under Frei (27% a year between 1967 and 1970), a basic basket of consumer goods rose by 120% from 190 to 421 escudos in one month alone, August 1972. In the period 1970-72, while Allende was in government, exports fell 24% and imports rose 26%, with imports of food rising an estimated 149%

Did John McCain pay the the Russian puppet Ukrainian president to kill many protesters? Did John McCain pay Russia to then invade Ukraine and annex some lands?

  1666.  @theotherohlourdespadua1131  Well, Japan has said sorry and the list is long. Wikipedia has a whole page on it titled "List of war apology statements issued by Japan". For you say that Japan hasn't is a bit out of touch with reality. There are certainly the occasional politician that really messes it up but let's be real -- South Korea keeps moving the goal posts, demands more and more, and keeps pressing. It's used by many South Korean officials for nationalistic support in politics much like they do in China. And you bring up " The fact they file diplomatic protests every time a country unveils a monument to Japanese atrocities ". First, it's not every time. Second, sometimes it's because South or China are doing it and they refuse to accept an apology and move the goal post. That grows tiring after a while and it will create backlash in Japan as a result. Philippines lost 500,000 people to Japan and they have very favorable opinion of Japan. Vietnam was also conquered and they have very favorable opinion of Japan. If you say they aren't the same as South Korea - Japan, then look at Vietnam's extremely favorable opinion of the US and a favorable opinion of France. The US was at war with Vietnam and 3 million Vietnamese died. 30 years after the war finished, Vietnam had favorable opinions of the US. it's been about 80 years since Japan was last in Korea. And Vietnam has favorable opinion of their former colonist that left AFTER ww2. You can point to examples where Japan has screwed up but it's obvious that South Korea is is purposely pushing this over and over, moving the goal posts, demanding more each time, and never satisfied.....for what appears to be nationalism for political support.

  1675.  @XiaoPangZi  Interesting point you raised that I have often argued. The US after WW2 made lot of bad decisions but on the whole, they basically saved the world from communism. Without the US, USSR would likely have spread to more of Europe and would have spread communism to many other parts of the world. I don't understand how people can say that the world would have been better if the US allowed communism to spread considering communist countries had the worse human rights and their economies didn't work either which is why they all ditched it (except North Korea).

But then you pivoted to the east and many regions that are vastly different in culture. I think they can maintain all of that with a strong democracy but that would mean the powers in the west of Russia would need to give up some power. It would require eastern parts of Russia to have more influence in the government. This would be very difficult.

  1700. Places with few immigrants in their region tend to have children that bully foreigners. Europe use to be like that in certain areas up until the past 20 or so years but now they have large number of non European immigrants. The US is a country of immigrants but an Asian kid in rural white or black (the south has large rural black population) area is likely to be bullied for looking different. Ultimately it’s up to the parents to keep their kids in check on bullying others, especially based on race and ethnicity.

  1701. European forces had much better weapons and much better fighting techniques. China before this had 100 years of stagnation- little innovation and growth.

  1705. Countries and businesses are already looking to reduce their dependence on China's manufacturing -- including Chinese companies! NY Times podcast "The Daily" had an episode recently that was based on some article in the NYT. It's about how many are moving production to Mexico -- including many Chinese companies! They even detail one industrial park north of Monterrey Mexico that has 28 Chinese companies that recently signed on to build factories in this park. The reasons Chinese companies and others around the world are doing so is basically 3 fold: 1. pandemic proved supply chains can easily be disrupted. One major cause of the supply chain disruption was ocean freight -- ships waiting weeks off the coast to dock. By building in Mexico, they can avoid this issue. 2. Overall transportation cost into the biggest consumer market in the world, the US. This is more true for larger items where transportation by ocean to the west coast then train and or truck is significantly more expensive than the shorter route of trucks from mexico (often border states/towns) into the US. 3. Tariffs. This is 2 part. NAFTA allows companies to have free trade between Mexico and US & Canada but also for those that were building in China, they can avoid the current tariffs on China and any future economic action against China.

French are known for striking for the smallest thing so for him to argue that they are wildly underpaid and his evidence is the strikes is a terrible argument. In addition, they did another strike after the pay hike! It’s just the French way — strike as much as you can. And then to argue there is money for a pay raise because they had money to update some train lines was an even worse argument because he made that comment just after spending a minute on how badly the trains need updated!

  1739.  @whiteerdydude  From Bloomberg 2018: - In late December, The New York Times published a bombshell article by Brian Rosenthal about high construction costs on the New York City subway. Doing painstaking investigative work building on a set of numbers I blogged about in 2011, Rosenthal showed how, at $2.6 billion per mile, New York’s Second Avenue Subway broke records for its costs, and that all of the reasons subway officials offered were excuses. - In the United States, most recent and in-progress light-rail lines cost more than $100 million per mile. Two light-rail extensions in Minneapolis, the Blue Line Extension and the Southwest LRT, cost $120 million and $130 million per mile, respectively. Dallas’ Orange Line light rail, 14 miles long, cost somewhere between $1.3 billion and $1.8 billion. Portland’s Orange Line cost about $200 million per mile. Houston’s Green and Purple Lines together cost $1.3 billion for about 10 miles of light rail.

  1740.  @whiteerdydude  "Second, the cost of those projects include far more than just laying down rail road tracks," That was my point. There is a lot of cost. We are talking about rail in a metro. It's usuaully much easier to just expand a road than it is to find a path for a train.The costs are high because the options are typically: 1. subway / tunnel 2. elevated train which is less pensive but still expensive and also requires buying some property 3. street level which is cheapest to build but mostly costly (if even possible) to obtain the land. 4. They need platforms or stations every 1/2 mile or 1 mile. >Lastly, eminent domain acquisitions are far more common for highways because they take way more space. But they aren't building new highways through cities that much. That happened decades ago. There's a reason that what is becoming popular are rapid bus systems (block out one lane in a local road for buses or one lane on the highway often a shoulder for buses only). The other less expensive option is basically street car that run on the same roads or next to streets with cars. All those projects detailed in my previous posts are signs that it's to costly to build regular rapid rail transit in an already developed city.

So now imagine if all western evidence not only promoted the lies but banned all criticism of evidence or the war and that’s russia today.

  1766.  @ThePresentPast_  No comment section on nebula so I like to still come here on occasion and leave my thoughts. I'm very surprised how little discussed that part of the history is. I imagine because that history is not part of any country much like how I didn't much about the Byzantine Empire until it got popular on Youtube in the past decade. Since the Ottomans were completely different culture than the Romans they replaced, they did not really continue the stories and teaching of Byzantine history. And since Byzantine Empire split from the catholic church 1000 years ago, western Europe history doesn't seem to discuss Byzantine much. As an American, most non-US history I saw growing up in the 80's and 90's was Christian Europe (especially western), ancient Mediterranean (Greeks/Roman), some Islamic/Arab history, and Chinese or east Asia history. I even took ancient Greek and Roman history courses at my university and barely even discussed the Byzantines. While they did mention the Eastern Roman Empire continuing, they really gave e the impression that Rome really just stopped suddenly in 476 and the Byzantines that followed may not really be Roman and that they were not that influential or powerful.

How are you not arguing for some very loose immigration policy? There already are 500k+ people a year illegally entering the US. Everything you have argued in these comment sections would indicate the US should be accepting far more. And that's the problem...the 500k a year illegally entering the US does not count the large number blocked before they could illegally cross NOR does it count the vast number deterred by the polices. So yeah, you are in effect arguing for policies that would accept likely a million or millions per year into the US.

  1796.  @psikeyhackr6914  The probem with your argument (without you clarifying which you didn't) is: 1. 70% of Chinese person's wealth is tied to real estate but in the US only little wealth if at all is in cars. 2. Few people are buying cars with expectations they will make a profit on selling it later. But large number of Chinese are buying homes and extra homes as investments 3. A car adds major utility for a person. They need it and use it. EXTRA homes in China are (mostly) purely for speculative reasons sitting empty or mostly empty and hoping to resell later at a profit.
    4
  1797.  @psikeyhackr6914  Did you even read what I wrote? >The potential wealth got poured down a rat hole. You mean Chinese with housing? B/c as I said with automobiles, it's only a small part of earnings of Americans AND it has utility (helps people get to work, get to places...you know, earn and spend money). A home is FAR more expensive and Chinse bought extra homes not for utility but to make money (investment)...which is now crashing. Buy a car at $30k then sell it 5 years later for $15k, that's $15k it cost but that provided major utility. Buy a second home for $300k and then sell that for $200k a decade later. That's $100k lost all while providing no utility.

  1805.  @808INFantry11X  I agree 100% with your last comment. China has too many crisis to combat for the next several years from Housing crisis to banking crisis to demographic crisis and to a diplomatic crisis that is scaring investors away and is leading to other countries decoupling from China. 3% GDP growth is what Japan and South Korea became when they had double the gdp per capita. As you pointed out, it’s not just manufacturing and services but just domestic consumption is already slowing down and looks to remain low for a while as 70% of Chinese wealth is tied up in housing that is suffering so people are spending less. If anything replaces the dollar it will be the euro but seeing how everyone rallied around the the dollar in 2022, the Euro is a long way away from it.

  1806.  @808INFantry11X  Chinas working age population is already shrinking so that’s a major issue. Right now 18-25 year old youth have 20% unemployment. They just have too many crisis to even expect the 6-7% gdp growth right before the pandemic. And the belt and road initiative is going to be a major problem - they lent so much money to poor countries and with the pandemic, it’s lead to their poor countries being in worse fiscal shape and IIRC the majority of the recipients of the belt and road are having trouble coming up with the money. A YouTube channel “China update” Goes over daily updates of China and the economy. Things look really bleak that negative growth is a potential if the housing market crashes which has a high probability of it.

It is those type of wars that kept the world constantly at war in the past because we now have an international rule based order, we see far fewer land grab invasions. Except Russia in 2008 Georgia and 2014 and 2022 Ukraine. Do you think what Russia is doing is the 'normal' war we see these days? Notice I didn't include Russia helping out Assad in Syria while Assad drops chemical weapons on the people and Russia commits horrible crimes by targeting civilians. Those are bad but at least that's more in line with the wars and conflicts we see today - civil wars where one or both sides are helped by other countries. But invading like Russia did to Georgia and Ukraine wasn't even done much during the cold war -- this is pre WW2 behavior.

  1828. KFC in the US use to be quality in the 80's but I think starting in the 90's, they felt pressure to compete in pricing and started lowering their quality. Then later some regional chains serving higher quality chicken start dominating the US market. Chick-Fil-A and Raising Canes took a big chunk and then Popeyes was more of a direct competitor on pricing and served better chicken. Today, nobody talks about KFC in the US. But I 95% refuse to go to Chic-Fil-A. I will go on the rare occasion but I mostly avoid due to their ties to anti gay groups. I have so many options for food, why give my money to a business that defends hate? And yes, I understand there are franchise operators but the same is for other businesses and their HQ isn't actively defending hate.

  1839. @agapp11able they can afford it now? It’s $1 trillion and growing. They are sacrificing economic growth potential by not building regular rail instead in many of these routes. Regular rail would have boosted the local economy by giving manufacturers better transport options (rail fright) and given their population something that they demand more — affordable rail travel.

But maybe Rus people aren't educated on the fact that there is also drone footage of the battles? Destroyed vehicles don't always include crew deaths which is why they make an educated estimated based on experience and information collected from other battled before. They can determine that on average, a Tank Alpha destroyed means 1.2 deaths.

  1851.  @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.

  1852.  @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.

  1859.  @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.

  1862. @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.

  1877.  @goodluck250  yeah, that’s sounds right historically though not true in my opinion under the CCP. The “Chinese culture” continued for thousands of years because if a non Han group conquered china, that group would assimilate or accept much of Chinese culture and modify it only slightly. Europe in contrast has various religious differences, various languages, various groups of somewhat similar population sizes, etc. And before nationalism started becoming popular in the 1800’s, the people did not care much about who took over so long as they can practice their Christian beliefs. Roman culture disappeared in 1453 because a group took over that was wildly different and which religion was ultra important — the Muslims Turks. The lack of one dominant religion that is a deep part of one’s identity such as the Abrahamic religions (Islam Christianity Judaism) is a major reason why Chinese continued as a culture. That divide in Europe and Middle East / Central Asia lead to many cultural changes.

But the CCP moved in a bunch of Hans over time to make Mongolians the minority -- Mongols are now only 17% of the population. Same thing they are doing in Xinjiang where the Han population was 5% in 1950 and now about 40%+ are Han in Xinjiang. Typical methods used by brutal CCP to wipe away a culture. "And PLUS, do you not know that Tibet expanded under the CCP?" Funny...they wanted independence within a few years of being incorporated into the CCP China. They've wanted out since then -- but of course, CCP is brutal and will have none of it. Instead, they are moving in Han to wipe away the Tibetan culture.

Their economic Growth is shrinking with 0.4% gdp growth this past quarter and expected annual growth this might even even be under 3%. That would be two out of 3 years with growth under 3%. They have housing crisis already forming with pricing starting to drop and construction of many new units being halted. This has lead to many people withholding payments to the banks on home loans. The housing might crash any moment. Then there is the banking crisis forming. Lots of banks are having problems and some already reach the point where they have restricted how much people can withdraw leading protests in Henan that were violently stopped by officers dressed in plain clothes beating on the protesters. There is also the looking demographic crisis — working age population is already shrinking and the total population will begin to shrink shortly all due to the one child policy. And in addition to all that, there is of course the energy problem discussed in this video.

Cuisines are typically based on históricos agricultural of that region and unfortunately for Northern Europe and Eastern Europe, the environment isn’t great to produce a wide variety of foods needed for a tasty cuisine. A lot of Eastern and norther Europe due its cold environment often use lots of potatoes, fermented foods, and few spices. In Northern Europe they often used salted or preserved fish. Eastern Europe uses salted or preserved meats. All around the world, the most liked cuisines generally come from areas with warm or hot environments.

But yes, that was my point that that he's aged a lot because he's not only president but because he's been under seige for 6 months. He aged more in the first 6 months of the war than he did in the prior 2 years as president.

  1934. For the past 2 or 3 years, whenever I point out that China has overbuilt their infrastructure, a hoard of people (mostly from china and many who are anti-west and will defend China) will reply defending China and saying it will induce demand and people will use those new train lines. Even often arguing "The Chinese government is thinking long term and some of those newer train lines don't have lots of users right now but they will shortly because the government will bring jobs to those areas". They just can't admit that there is a limit to return on investment for infrastructure. And I traveled inside China as well. It was cheap to hire a driver to take you from point A to point B (like blabla car) compared to high speed train. Only regular train was a better price for 2+ people. And for longer distances we took a flight -- it was cheaper.

  1939.  @pritamghosh4360  - Since Modi and his BJP party came to power in 2014, he has pursued a relentless campaign to curb the independence of India’s media. As the Editors Guild of India put it, the BBC raids are part of a well-established “trend of using government agencies to intimidate press organisations that are critical of government policies or the ruling establishment” - The government – and many BJP-controlled state administrations – have also sought to intimidate journalists through the use of sedition and national security law

  1944.  @clemente111  “no no no”. You do know that most aid isn’t clothing and that happens less frequently now? Aid is now mostly in mosquito nets, medicine, doctors / nurses, water, etc. I agree that the clothing aid needs to stop but your are wrong to say “no no no” to the whole post.

  1945.  @clemente111  what companies on the the continent are producing mosquito net and medicine? That’s the reason it makes for good aid, it’s not something that is locally produced and sold for cheap price that everyone can score it. The water infrastructure cannot be made outside of the country — it often involves hiring local people to drill for wells or set up some water cleaning system.

  1955. ​ @kevinw2592  yes, you point to many of the issues with the logic of this video and many other videos from Caspian Report. It's increasingly trying to defend aggressive states either on purpose or their attempt to find an exact middle ground. This is the logic from the video. Russia is aggressive (but completely downplayed in the video) and bullies it's neighbors and former puppet states. Those states are worried and join alliances for protection. Russia then sees those alliances as threats and thus has 'valid concerns' which they then use to follow through on the aggressiveness they have displayed.

  1957.  @raylopez99  geographic factors? You can see how even Latin America is more like Europe and southern Europe than US and Canada. The Older American cities tend to have high density and mixed zoning in and near the center but outer parts start looking more like typical suburbs. And suburbs in the US Is where most people live and it’s far less densely populated than even European suburbs. One thing that really pointed out the difference for me was on a trip in Spain where we hired a ride to get us from Granada to seville. Wow, it’s simply amazing to me how both Granada and Seville are densely populated to the edge then suddenly no more houses and just farms. Seems they highly limit where people can build houses and thus everyone is pushed into a smaller area. As we entered seville it really stood out the most. It was farms but then suddenly I could see what looked like a wall. It was just multi floor apartment buildings at the edge of the city marking the first homes. You will never see that in the US. It’s always low density villages that blend into higher density but still low density out suburbs that then blend into higher density but still lower density typical suburbia which then gradually becomes more dense as you get closer to the city. Most suburbs in the US have zoning requiring min lot areas and minimum distances Homes are too the street thus it creates minimum yard sizes. And they often have only residential zoning in some area meaning it might be .5 to 1 mile to the nearest store. This is why a car is a complete necessity in most places Americans live. Newer cities they grew mostly in the 20th century all seem like one big suburbs. The only high density you might see is the very center business district.

  1958.  @dgart7434  not to this extreme but an analogy in the direction I’m referring to is how the US helped Germany and Japan after ww2 to get them on their side.

  1967. 8:00 You bring up some great ideas that I don't understand why it's not implemented more. Is change just really difficult or are there incentives NOT to implement these ideas more often? You mention turning some street parking spots into pickup/dropoff spots (for Uber) and also mentioning turning more spots into 30 minute parking to have more available spots for delivery. Why not just combine both and have 2-3 spots per block solely for taxis/uber and delivery? Heck, I live in a major city and crowded area where many streets are 1 lane only with parking on both sides in the neighborhood. When someone is moving or USPS/UPS/FEDEX come by, they often don't find a parking spot and many times will block the street for 2-4 minutes. If they just had one or two spots in the middle of block assigned ONLY for taxis/uber and package delivery, it would make a huge difference!

He defends socialist policies wherever possible and blames capitalism often for the failures of socialist policies...like he did with Cuba. This channel made it seem like Cuba has a really good quality of life when in reality they are poor and their economic model doesn’t allow for them to rise up higher. An education doesn’t mean much if you can’t do much with it and yet this Channel could t stop praising their eduction. Of course when you spin Cuba and other similar countries like that you end up with ignorant people coming here to regurgitate the same whack propaganda

  1988.  JCO2able  “not really because of inflation” just shows how little you know about economics. Inflation the past decade has been relatively low. Also, it’s unrelated to what I stated. What does inflation have to do with the fact that someone with higher education from age 18-27 is likely going to be making good money? This is the problem with comment sections on YouTube. No care for facts but just want to circlejerk over the topic. In this case, everyone wants to complain about how bad millennials and gen Z have it will resort to lies (like suggesting inflation has been high) or day someone is wrong but then completely make a different argument (inflation has nothing to do with my original statement ). You literally called other ignorant while you spouted ignorance

That’s a high CD because inflation was running near 10%!! Educate yourself “Your completely right wages have gone up but so has inflation”...lol. I specifically said inflation adjusted median income. That means that median income has outpaced inflation which is why inflation adjusted median incomes are 40% higher in 2019 than in early 80’s. Every time someone responds to my inflation adjusted median incomes with “wages have gone up but so has inflation”, it demonstrates they don’t know much about the topic...not even the basics

They just very long (generally around 1hr or more) and no way I can watch all the videos when I have so many other videos to watch. What you describe about the video, it does make a lot of sense. The key seems to be that Ukraine must keep attacking or bombarding Russian military positions. With the already low morale with Russians soldiers, the winter conditions and being bombarded might really break many of those Russian soldiers. Will it turn into any major land gains in the winter or will it serve to help weaken Russia for a later major land gain is unknown. I don't have high hopes that Ukraine would be able to make the major land gains during the winter.

That would put Moscow pretty close to within range. Does Russia want missiles landing on moscow?

  2029.  @coyoboyo  fyi, Lana is a Russia govt worker. It’s already established by many experts of whom many themselves were US generals that the response will be US destroying every Russia position inside Ukraine and Caspian Sea (casualties of 100k Russian soldiers) or giving Ukraine the U.S. top weapons to do that. That’s for a major nuke strike on Ukrainian people. A tactical nuke with limited casualties (far from civilians and few if any Ukrainian military casualties) would likely lead to U.S. destroying the base where the nuke came from.

  2035. Adam, about your age and had a similar experience. I was perfectly fine with milk and would drink maybe a cup every other day usually with a nighttime peanut butter sandwich or cereal. Then about two years ago I seemed to be going to the bathroom maybe 4-5 times a day. Not quite a solid bowel movement. Didn’t think anything about it because my stomach didn’t hurt and the symptoms came about slowly. But 9 months talked to my doctor and he said I became lactose intolerant. But sometime over the last 6 months started drinking milk again and my symptoms are considerably less than they were before. You mentioned that some people seem to handle whole milk better. I’m not sure when I switched to it but I began drinking whole milk instead of 2% in the past year. Maybe that was a factor? Or maybe it’s just an intermittent problem because I may have dealt with the same problems a few years ago as well. Either way, it’s tolerable for me with the only problem is the inconvenience of having to go to the bathroom maybe 2-3 times more in a day on SOME days. Probably like the Tibetans. I’m also Mexican (-American) with maybe 20% indigenous and the rest I assume Spanish. Spain has a lot of Germanic people history which is probably why most of my family is okay with milk because we are likely 80% Spanish ancestry.

China has an issue of too few youths but also the youth are highly educated and there aren’t no where near the jobs for the number of educated youths. So too few youths to work lower and low-middle paying jobs and too many youths for the higher paying careers

  2038. That is very funny. Someone else mentioned ""Staying neutral when a fire is raging is standing with the ones who lit it". but it seems like the party worked backwards -- they started with YES party and then tried to make 'YES' into an acronym. This is exactly how some US bills are done -- then want a catchy acronym and then workbackwards often creating a funny sounding bill name. One famous example is the "Patriot Act' that was officially "USA PATRIOT Act". They wanted that acronym to get support and from there, worked back words for the full name "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001".

  2039.  @CleanupKrew7  “nobody had a decent place to live” doesn’t mean target didn’t have a roof over their head. You’re probably too uneducated on the subject, but the housing for most Soviets was substandard. They had crappy homes and often had to share a home with another family. You think that having to share a small apartment with another family is decent housing?!
    3
  2040.  @SmartArtzzz  so they had share apartments with other families. How is that decent housing? In the West, you got a whole place to yourself

  2041.  @landonyoung4850  the bottom 0.2% in the US don’t have housing. That is true. And my point is they the other 99.8% do have housing and are better off than their economic equivalent in Soviet countries.

  2044. Plaza Acccord? Japan and Germany were both part of the plaza accord and look at how well Germany has done. I’m addition, Japan had its best 5yr gdp growth since 1960’s after signing the plaza accord in the mid 80’s. Stop spreading misinfo What’s worse for CN is that have alienated half the world GDP which is leading actively de coupling from China while Japan didn’t face that issue.

  2045.  @Stocking_Knight  The issue is that Chinas government isn’t investing enough on more high quality universities so you have a massive population fighting for a limited number of spots at the quality universities. This is why so many end up going overseas and enroll in foreign universities.

  2046.  @aesrenjoseph496  yes, literally repeating CCP talking points. Says the great firewall is to protect Chinese people from vile stuff other there (literally the CCP propa) and not real reason, to hide the truth from the Chinese and only allow positive coverage of the CCP

  2053.  @Stocking_Knight  So which is it, number 1 or 2? Are you not able to criticize the govt on what’s happening in Xinjiang or do you support the atrocities? You’re reply suggest it’s one of these two.
    3
  2054.  @Stocking_Knight  i also know how it works. The Chinese people (at least those that go online) will support the CCP on everything that is not directly related directly to them (so support the govt on all foreign matters, their treatment of Ughurs, what they do to Hong king, the threats of Taiwan, etc). They will blindly support the govt on all of that but the only time they question the govt is when it effects them personally such as lockdowns in Shanghai or this stress from education.

He said "The purpose of this firewall is to protect 1gn0r@nt people from v1le influences." That's the comment that started it all. So, does Subpar believe that's the purpose of the firewall or does Subpar agree with me that the purpose is for c0ntro0 over the population like every country with a similar firewall does? really look forward to hearing from Subpar on what Subpar thinks the purpose of the firewall in China is for. Similar firewall in N. K0re@, Cu.b@, and S@ud1 Ar@b1a.

  2058.  @SupbarXD  So i was right. Subpar is indeed defending 'a random kid on the internet' who is spreading false info on purpose of the firewall. That's how I knew Subpar wouldn't respond because I was right and Subpar support l1es.

  2063. I think that was one of the big points of the video. It’s not hard to believe that most dishes that are considered traditional came from the after the industrial revolution began because for most of history, 90%+ of people were farmers who could not afford much food that they didn’t grow. So they tended to each cheap and basic. Only the elite got to eat good.

  2065.  @Xind0898  the population decline not a insignificant gradual process over 50-100years. The working age population went from growing at highest rate in the world to shrinking in a 20-30 year period. That’s the biggest reason for gdp growth declining. Its peak total working age population already passed and will shrink by 25% over the next 25 years! In contrast, it grew roughly 25% over 25yrs up until the 2010’s. So the major effect it had in 80’a to 00’s is now going to happen in the opposite direction the next 20-25years

Another example is their rapidly growing total debt. In addition, the fact that infrastructure spending is now only having a return on investment 1/4 of what it did 25 years ago is another example of the problems China faces. Basically, in recent years they making a lot of bad economic decisions on public spending (infrastructure).

  2073.  @ileutur6863  "Those aren't biases, they're objective verifiable facts. " This is a flat out wrong way to argue. Facts can be bias in how you present them and what you ignore from facts. It's like a pro Putin person making a video of how Putin helped Russia in the 2000's and don't discuss any bad things that Putin did and exaggerate with suggestions about how much Putin's involvement was in the economy bouncing back -- all while ignoring that oil prices were at historical lows in the 90's and surged in the 2000's. A video with "objective verifiable facts" can have biases and not tell the whole story.

  2075. China is supporting Russia by spreading Russian disinformation and blaming the west and US for the war. However, they are not militarily supporting nor voting in support of Russia at the UN. China signed a $117b energy deal and made an anti west friendship pact with “no limits” with Russia when Russia had 150k troops ready to invade in Feb. China thought russia would win the war in days and but that backfired and China is trying repair their image by downplaying their actions in support of Russia.

China is middle income and these economic troubles and demographic collapse likely mean China will see normal growth at best moving forward and never joining the US and Europe on per capita wealth.

It sees infrastructure as the most important step of making a country developed" And they built an excessive amount of HSR in order to control the people in Xinjiang and Tibet and because China LOVES to pretend they are richer than they actually are. That's why paid CCP trolls like yourself love to repeat the CCP talking points about how much HSR there is in China. It's the same reason China has built some of the tallest buildings in the world.

So again, you proved my point by not being able to name numerous democratically elected communist leaders.

  2129.  @hegaliandialectics4289  so communist failed because it sucks. Got it. Also, you did change the whole conversation. You specifically said most communist leaders were democratically elected. The exact quote “"most of the time, many governments that were overthrown, had communist leaders democratically elected into power". Again, “had communist leaders democratically elected into power”. And I specifically asked you to name all of them and you name leaders that weren’t even communist. So you never actually gave me numerous examples of the “communist leaders democratically elected into power”

  2130.  @BbiBbii  Americans criticize their own government. When others criticize thE US government, most don’t take it as a personal attack and don’t see it as being racist. But the CCP has 🧠 washed its citizens to conflate the CCP with the Chinese race so an attack on the CCP is an attack on Chinese people. This is also why few Chinese will acknowledge the truly bad stuff their government says — they will downplay it or outright support the CCP. It’s in part because they identify with the party as being representative of the Chinese race. The whole purpose of controlling all information and news inside the country is exactly to 🧠 wash people. Look at Russian now — years of Putin eroding away any news source that is critical of Putin has lead to the situation where now no such news is inside Russia and people believe whatever Putin and his news sites say.

They hit what Japan hit but at 1/4 the incomes Japan had when Japan hit that wall. You can see why it’s a much bigger issue for China to see 2% growth than for Europe to see 2%?

Vietnam & Phillipines but you can see concerns about China from Malaysia and Indonesia as well which will only move them more towards the west. But there will be a collection of countries that will join Rus-CN, mostly a few authoritarian middle east and authoritarian African countries.

  2153.  @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.

  2154.  @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
  2155.  @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.

  2158. ​ @DixieNormous00  . It was a clear attempt to copy Taco John's name. He could be selling different style tacos, the point is Taco John's has a case against him because it does sound close to the same and the intent is there. He had the option to go with "Chon's Taco" or "Taqueria Chon" or "Los tacos de Chon" but he specifically went with "Taco Chon" to copy taco john's. anyone who isn't just trying to root for the little guy can see this.

And as soon as attempts to cross the border began to rise in large unsustainable numbers, the US had to make it harder to enter. Without tough restrictions, you’re looking at millions per year entering and flooding the agencies with cases that they will never be able to handle or flooding the US with large number of immigrants that the economy cant handle I’m pro immigration and I am very anti orange man but there is a point where too many immigrants will drag down an economy. We aren’t at that point but that’s precisely because policies have made it so the US can only accept X number per year.

  2197. Blackwater is not the same as Wagner. Blackwater is not under the control of the US government— they are a private that was hired often by the US but the company also took jobs that were not in the interest of the US. Wagner is indirectly under control of Putin and does what’s in the interest of Putin. As a result, Wagner is also sometimes a leader in an operation such as what they did in Donbas in 2014 and after. Blackwater provided additional support for the US in two wars but were not the first to arrive in those countries and were hired as support — often to work security for military personnel or security for some location. Other than that, they do have lots of similarities as you would expect from private contract forces.

  2208.  @zinjanthropus322  “you’re measuring nothing. Against nothing”. They’d literally what you are doing. I’d rather trust academic researchers than a random guy online who says “trust me bro”. Western Europe had some of the best weapons in the world due from innovation from all the wars. They had the best ships - a the first capable for long deep sea voyages. They were innovators in banking and financing in part because of Italian city states and but also Netherlands and hansa league lead to creation of early forms of capitalism. And China did build and scrap larger ships ONE time and those ships required staying near the coast. They were not suitable for long deep sea voyages. So, why should I trust a random guy online and not the academic research?

It lumps different cultures into one term and context means everything. Seems like all the defenses for “Chinese New Years” are ignoring context and that it’s not a problem to say Chinese new years if you are being specific about China and “lunar new year” if it’s the broader celebration. don’t call China “Asia” if it’s specific to just China & don’t call Asia “China” if it’s about the broader Asian cultures

  2240.  @ayodejiolowokere1076  not everything is black or white — there is a gray area. They care somewhat which is why they have sent billions in aid in the form of medical support, food aid when Africa is in trouble, and financial bailout support. Does that mean they are perfect and care tremendously? No, it just shows they do care to some extent. Unlike China that doesn’t do any of that and they only care about profiting — which sometimes can benefit both sides but it doesn’t mean at all China cares even one bit.

    3
  2260.  @jxz107  "People need to take a closer look" They are literally direct quotes and often part of a big meeting to mend relations with South korea. "but Japanese politicians have continuously made statements domestically denying their role in colonization " You mean SOME small minroty of politicians have and only increased more recently as South Korea kept moving the goal posts and not accepting any apology. "Even so, presidents in Korea have not directly gone and demanded further apologies from Japan." Oh, so just presidents? Why don't you look at all the politicians like you did with Japan? Seems like you are hiding something here. In addition, the fact that the government of South Korea keeps bringing up more things that Japan needs to adddress in regards to the historic grievances do suggest that SK govt has indeed demanded further apologizes. " many other representatives of the state would continue to visit the Yasukuni shrine. " A shine with millions of names of it that has the names of all the people who were killed during wars? South Koreans and Chinese like to ignore those details and suggest that the criminals from WW2 area focal point of the shrine. The US has a Vietnam War wall with all the names of the Americans who died in the war. I'm sure many of them were criminals and did bad things, even while in Vietnam. Does that mean someone going to the Vietnam War wall is praising the criminals?
    3
  2261. ​ @jxz107  "I suggest you stop bringing in countries to compare with, since the circumstances around each country are unique" Yes, they don't hold grudges for political purposes like South Korea and China does. At least not to that extend. And I agree with "the circumstances around each country are unique. " The differences is South Korea is using the historic grievances for the political gain at home while Vietnam doesn't. That's exactly my point. AND that's exactly why you weren't able to properly describe why Vietnam's situation with US and France is very different than South Korea. " If you want to go there, Vietnamese also have a high view of Korea according to numerous opinion polls....The Vietnamese state pursues close ties with Seoul, but individual victims of the massacre have continued to call for justice and recognition, " And yet Vietnamese citizens have extremely high opinion of the US and the US. 82% of Vietnamese had a favorable opinion of South Korea and Japan!! So when you say that "but individual victims of the massacre have continued to call for justice and recognition,", the fact that 82% still have favorable opinion of South Korea should tell you that overall, it's only a small % in Vietnam still holding on to those historic grievances.
    3
  2262.  @jxz107  I want to sum up the long posts here 1. You aren't able to properly state how Vietnam's circumstances on historic grievances are very different from South Korea. It appears the only real difference is that South Korea will not accept apologies and will move the goal post. 2. You blamed Japan because some minority of politicians have said things that were not apologitic but then when talking about South Korea not accepting apologies, you ONLY mentioned how no president of SK has directly demanded more apologies. You ignored the government as a whole. 3. You didn't mention the shrine in question has millions of names of all the people who died in wars over a period of time. It is not shrine with just those criminals nor a shrine with a small number of people in which those criminals are a big % of the names. It's millions of names. 4. You brought up how some Vietnamese have called for justice and recognition from SK in regards to past atrocities. Even if this also applies to Japan, the fact is that 82% of Vietnamese people have said they have a favorable view of both Japan and SK. So those concerns from the people calling for justice is not having an effect on the favorable opinion of the countries in question. In comparison, only 25% of South Koreans have a favorable opinion of Japan.
    3
  2263.  @jxz107  Again, to sum it up: 1. You will take the actions of a small % of politicians in Japan to not accept the numerous apologies of Japan's government. Just looking for excuses. 2. You suggested most or something close to most presidents of Japan have denied the crimes or wrong doing. You have a source? 3. The Class A criminals are just .0005% of the names on the shrine. That's enough for you to say people are worshiping those .0005% because.... Just looking for excuses. 4. you're operating under the false assumption that I said South Korea is legally obligated to never accept an apology. You're operating under the false assumptions that we can't criticize governments such as South korea for using this as a political football while it damages their national security. 5. Wrongly equating a small number of Vietnamese that still hold grievances to Japan (or US or France) to the large share of South Korea that holds a grudge against South Korea. 82% of Vietnamese still hold favorable opinion of Japan and even higher of US.

Was the economy much better off in Pinochet’s last year than they were pre 1974? 4.

  2287.  @felchap1205  You have to be ignorant of Chile economic history or say or suggest things were okay or better before the Chicago boys.

In the period 1970-72, while Allende was in government, exports fell 24% and imports rose 26%, with imports of food rising an estimated 149%

Demographic problem of China is indeed worse than it was in 90's Japan. 3. Those internal & external conflicts are indeed making it harder for China to combat their economic problems. 4.

But I do think Adam cut them (right wing that are anti science) too much slack, the majority are most certainly being dishonest in order to support “their culture”. The right left split is becoming less about specific ideologies and more about culture. The right is far more guilty but when one side does it, you see the other side increase cultural wars in similar ways. Adam does make a good point about this saying he himself has hunkered down in certain positions that shouldn’t be set in stone…and I’m guilty of that on vaccines as well. The science is already strong that the Cov vaccine does greatly reduce death but having to fight off all the anti science crowd, I may be putting myself in a position where if serious long term side effects do emerge, I will have trouble accepting them for a while.

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.

China is middle income and these economic troubles and demographic collapse likely mean China will see normal growth at best moving forward and never joining the US and Europe on per capita wealth. They hit what Japan hit but at 1/4 the incomes Japan had when Japan hit that wall. You can see why it’s a much bigger issue for China to see 2% growth than for Europe to see 2%?

  2340. @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
  2341. @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?

  2364.  @cosmicgregg  well, “lack of countries” isn’t even accurate. You mentioned 37 countries which seem to be from Pew. But also, Latinobarametro polls thousands of people across nearly 20 Latin American countries and they find the same. Heck, even Venezuela in 2014 before the crisis made polling difficult had favorable opinion of the US. There is still is some anger in Latin America and it’s mostly driven by the authoritarian leftist which is why I asked if you were a leftist. Many Latin American countries with leftist leaders who are anti U.S. still have a majority of the people having favorable opinions of the US. It’s not that the people in those counties forgot, it’s just no longer that important today considering the US isn’t (rarely) meddling in Latin America in recent years

  2367.  @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
  2368.  @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.

  2370.  @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.

  2371.  @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.

  2372.  @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.

  2373.  @GoodBaleadaMusic  "I'm talking about cost over runs in a growing system and you are talking about massive State corruption." So which is China?

  2374.  @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.

  2385. Do you not understand the words 'slowing down'? China's GDP growth is quickly shrinking and taking A LOT OF MONEY to even keep it at or around 5%. US growth rate in 2023 was 3.3% in Q4 2023 and 5% in Q3. In addition, China has 1/5 the GDP per capita of the US and with a Shrinking growth rate while the US is back to a steady 2.5% annual growth rate. China's economic problems will only get worse as demographic AND housing crisis accelerates all while they are increasingly alienating themselves from most of their large trading partners.
    3
  2386.  @angusyoung1448  That's such a Child like response. You work in Beijing? China's GDP growth is falling fast and will continue to fall as it's demographic AND housing crises worsen. When Taiwan, South Korea and Japan were at similar GDP per capita as China is today, they had some 7%+ annaul GDP growth for the next 20 years!! China is expected to have only about 3% annual GDP growth for next 20 years. Math probably isn't your skill but to put that in perspective, if you start with $100... 7% annual growth is $387 while at 3% that's $180. Basically China in 20 years will be at 40% of what it would have been if it had Taiwan/SK/Japan's level growth that they experienced in the 20yrs after they reached the level China has reached today.

It was very poor.

  2394. What should be made clear in every video is that most new policies that are a net good still have negative aspects.

China had the Mongols and many other groups nearby constantly raid and eventually take over. Italy was worn down by raids by Huns (who may be Turkic / Mongolian) and Germanic tribes. Most empires had to face those same issues Iraq faced but many of them have moved on from it.

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.

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.

  2418. @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
  2419. @@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.

Again, if this was an capitalist problem, then the governments would be against the suburban model as it is bad for revenues.

Especially after you initially said capitalism has nothing to do with this then on the very next comment blamed capitalism.

  2429.  @jacewhite8540  More balanced sources rarely go in depth on one specific topic. Those that go in depth one specific topic generally are going to have a strong bias. I've realized that which is why I still consume biased sources but I am a little cautious with the information from it. With Climate Town, I caught a few times where they exaggerated something, ignored context, or just ignored some other relevant information. I continued to watch because he was still going in depth more than most sources. And a lot of the business focused news and information sources are going to right of center bias. I keep that in mind -- because unless they are ideologically right, they often make points that are relevant to even someone on the left.

Vietnam isn't a tight close ally of the US but their interest are aligned with the US. Are you even aware that Vietnam last year began also building artificial islands near China in order to counter their moves? Did you know that Japan is the biggest investor in Vietnam and US is the biggest export market for Vietnam? Just because they might not fight directly doesn't mean they won't provide some support stop China if China starts some fighting in the South China Sea.

They tend to cut back on spending. >"Chinese spending is already down due to uncertainty, so this won't change much" LITERALLY in large part because housing crises is bringing uncertainty. But somehow a crash wouldn't make that worse? >. What're they gonna do, stop buying food? This here proves u r Beijing worker and / or don't really understand any of this. They don't cut back on food....they cut back on some clothes, some trips, some entertainment, some goods, etc. Actually, they do sometimes cut back on food spending -- buying cheaper foods and eating out less.

Also saw a video from Vice news. It's chaos and it just seems like every few years I hear about great progress only for nothing big to materialize. Al-Shabaab can be beaten and I think the latest news is a sign of that but realistically, this is probably just the beginning of a long slow decline of Al-Shabaab. I can't imagine Al-Shabaab being a non-important factor in Somalia anytime in the next decade.

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. U get .50 RMB per post?

  2463.  @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

  2464.  @lc7583  you refuse to answer the questions that prove your logic is suggesting you support SK should invade NK and refuse to admit you didn’t go to Xinjiang an investigate yourself. If you didn’t go to Xinjiang, are you getting your news about Xinjiang from Chinese state media?

  2468.  @LENZ5369  I was referring to non-hunting safaris. it's certainly a net positive. The video is unclear (though suggest net positive) on trophy hunting. "It's not like there is going to be $10k hot air balloon rides to replace killing an elephant." Except you have thousands each day on safari in some of these countries. I spent over $1k for two of us over 4 days on a safari. There were were dozens of us in this one small complex so assuming they all paid the same, that was probably over $40k in one week at that facility. I stayed in a relatively cheap place -- there were 'resorts' inside the park that would probably be 4x to 10x more expensive. These were all non hunting safaris.

  2469.  @LENZ5369  "you keep bringing in stuff that is not relevant and expanding the issue." I'm literally bringing up the relevant issues, it's you that isn't. - "This not about total tourism or whatever -this is about what is happening in that "PROTECTED" area." Like this, you refuse to understand what is relevant to the discussion. Total tourism was to fact check your suggestion of how trophy hunting safaris bring in more money. There is a difference between bringing in more money PER person vs bringing in more money in TOTAL. That's why total tourism matters. Why do you keep trying to argue that non-hunting safaris are bad because trophy hunting safaris are happening? They are not the same and some countries don't allow trophy hunting safaris, such as Kenya. Each time I try to defend the non-hunting safaris, you dish-nestly conflate it with hunting safaris. They are separate arguments and not related to each other. - "Do you honestly believe supporting 20 or 30 times more people in that park will be less damaging than the handful of rich aho?" If they only deal with the rich who want trophy hunting, there is less incentive for these poor countries to protect a much larger area of their country. - "The issue was supposed to be the wellbeing of THAT Park and if it is in fact actually being protected or simply being slowly 'used up' for profit." Ideological people with low intelligence tend to think that poor countries will simply protect lands without any profit. Are you a communist as well? You think people will just magically work their hardest for the common good to produce food and goods or do you think incentives (money) help more?

  2470. It’s not doing better than most of European economies — it shrank 3% last year. And the gdp is misleading because Russia spent $100 billion in the war which is considered part of gdp. That’s nearly 6% of gdp so their actual gdp minus the war would be -9% or even lower.

  2472.  @GeoScorpion  great point. After ww1, you didn’t see many countries trying to conquer new lands. In ww2 you saw Soviets, Germany, Italy and Japan trying to conquer new lands. In immediate aftermath of ww2, Soviets took by force either incorporated into USSR or occupied puppet states almost all of Eastern Europe (Yugoslavia appeared to be independent but they were already friendly with Soviets). The US and UK basically gave the freedom to west Germany, France, Italy, China, and basically all the territory they freed from Germans and Japanese. China then took Tibet and today is trying to take not only Taiwan but South China Sea and East Sea. Russia today is trying to take Ukraine.

  2473. Hey Matt and Winston, I just wanted to share something about Reddit. For over a year, I’ve had some CCP accounts follow me. I delete my account and make a new one and they find me again. I started making many accounts to test them out and they find me. 90% of the time they found me was in worldnews after posting some criticism of China. They would respond to me with the same 10 or so accounts that appear to be only to bother me. Sometimes they find me if I leave an anti CCP comment on a 5 day old post. So this tells me that they likely have a network of redditors that go through worldnews comments on all stories china. They likely have a tool to analyze word patterns or something. My point is that they are actively policing Worldnews and possibly other subreddits. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, these Tankies dominated the sub when it came to China topics. I think the war brought many non CCP folks to Worldnews and have mostly drowned them out so they try not to outright defend the CCP but just use whataboutism to deflect and they claim “I’m not a supporter of CCP” when their game is obvious

I said it's 12-28 months from the day a decision is made to order samples to the day the first full producition order is received. In between it's lead time of samples, testing of samples, having to re-order samples if needed, having our customer (the end product) test it and qualify it, getting every approval and ordering the first production order, lead time of that first production build, and then the delivery lead time which if it's from Asia is 4-6 weeks in transit and if from Mexico 3-5 business days.

When SK, Japan & Taiwan reached the same GDP per capita that China has today, those 3 countries had average growth of 7% for the next 20 to 30 years! China's sheer size of course means more industry but on per capita basis, they will not come close to those other 3.

Also, in you’re scenario about nukes being used on Russia, you had to add ANOTHER scenario on top of it. So you just admitted the invasion of Ukraine isn’t the same as North Korea using a nuke — because you literally had to add in a scenario that Russia would use nukes. The point is the invasion isn’t what makes Putin like Kim using nukes…it’s Putin using nukes that would be like Kim using nukes.

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?!

  2520.  @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.

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

  2535. There is a possibility this broader South China Sea issue will be a bigger problem than threats of China to invade Taiwan. China is essentially trying to steal the South China Sea from it's neighbors. Sure, many countries make claims for a huge area of SCS but it's China's aggression with building so many artificial islands, placing large military bases, and then actually trying to prevent ships and air planes from using much of what they claim. This has potential to really boil over between China on one side and Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, and Indonesia on the other side. In addition, many countries in Asia and outside of Asia use the SCS which means even more countries would be affected.

He stated that new policy changes won't effect much and used as evidence that migrants interviewed on the Darien Gap route mostly all were not aware of the policy changes. Yet this very same video describes how policy changes eventually did alter migrant flow patterns which lead to the surge in the Darien gap. As these migrants hit the end of the road & are rejected at the border or in Mexico, that will get reported back to their family & friends which will alter migrant patterns.

And I think the video mentions that late 1800's is when pizza Nepoletana took it's current form. But it wasn't "italian', it was a Naples thing. The video points out that pizza didn't really become popular in the rest of Italy until after World war 2. The video was highlighting how pizza became popular in the rest of Italy mostly from the influence of the US and how the rest of Italy didn't make pizza like the traditional pizza of Naples.

One flaw in the gdp but that only affects a small % is that if you paid $100billion to dig a hole and then just put all the dirt back, that’s $100b increase in gdp. That’s not a realistic example but demonstrates that bad spending can increase gdp. In the end, if every country measured it well, median income would be the best single metric. For some reason most countries don’t properly measure it.

  2564.  @merocaine  I literally copied and pasted from the BBC article (the BBC Russia but translated into English). You want me to copy and paste again? - As of January 23, we were able to confirm information about 12,225 dead soldiers and officers. Most of the dead over the past three months are mobilized, volunteers and prisoners. - We rely only on confirmed death reports, so the data collected does not reflect the actual level of casualties. We assume that our list may contain at least 40-60% fewer names of the dead than actually buried in Russia. - Therefore, according to the most conservative estimate, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia could lose more than 24 thousand people dead. - Russia's total irretrievable losses (that is, the number of those who are out of action due to injury, death or missing) can be at least 110,000 people. - This figure does not include those who fought on the side of Russia as part of the "people's militias" of Donetsk and Luhansk. So BBC is saying they verified 12,225 dead soldiers/officers and estimate at least 24,000 death and at least 110,000 casualties. 24k/110k is the low estimate only from Russia and does not include foreigners (remember that thousands of Syrians and others came to fight as well) or those fighting for militias against Ukraine. Using their 40-60% only verified, the high estimate would be 30.5k dead and 140k casualties using the average 4.5 casualties to 1 death ratio.

  2565.  @LeftWingNationalist  " I'm pro self determination. I support an actual referendum in Donbas and Crimea overseen by UN and OSCE observers." I'm also pro self determination but I think the moment Russia invaded, there was no more 'self determination'. Russia's presences lead to pro Ukrainians moving out and Russia was able to use manipulation to win over more Russian Ukrainians. I'm a little torn on Kosovo -- they are a bit of a different situation where there isn't an outside group invading them and influencing them but I do think it opens up a Pandora's box. So I would say that I do believe Kosovo should be an independent country but I am also not sure if Europe should vote in favor of Kosovo country. A good example is Taiwan -- I do want a free Taiwan but that doesn't mean I want the US & Europe to vote in favor of Taiwan as an independent country because it might anger China too much and lead to a war. So for both Kosovo and Taiwan, I do support taking the steps to get them their official country status but it needs to be done right.

Russia wants to control an empire and Putin’s own pre war speech literally says a much by talking about Russian empire of the past. They also believe Ukraine literally should belong to Russia. NATO won’t invade Russia because a nuclear armed nation hasn’t been invaded. Furthermore, successful invasions of Russia in the past were few compared to invasions of most other European countries so this worry they have because of past invasions doesn’t hold. And on China, how ironic that China wants back the lands taken in the 1800’s and yet is not willing to give up all the lands it took in the 1700’s….Tibet, Xinjiang, Taiwan, Inner Mongolia, etc.

  2595. Several issues with how people argue the controversy. 1 “Chinese new years” is NOT llke saying “Christmas”. It would be like saying “Catholic Christmas” or “Roman Christmas” since Christmas started in Rome and by Catholics. But we say “Christmas” to be inclusive to all those that celebrate Christmas. 2 18:35 even worse argument. “This whole issue stems from westerners lumping different cultural traditions under one singular term”. So like Christmas lumping traditions of Russia and Germany and Spain and Mexico and USA together? All have different ways of celebrating it. In addition, “Lunar new year” is no different using the terms “East Asian” or “Asian”. It lumps different cultures into one term and context means everything. Seems like all the defenses for “Chinese New Years” are ignoring context and that it’s not a problem to say Chinese new years if you are being specific about China and “lunar new year” if it’s the broader celebration. So don’t call China “Asia” if it’s specific to just China and don’t call Asia “China” if it’s about the broader Asian community

Or they cherry pick some data or event in order to try to discredit the video. I'm also seeing a huge wave of Indian nationalist on on YT and reddit and other platforms. I guess it's not too hard for me to understand given videos about Trump also get a wave supporters using the same argument techniques but at least that seems to represent just specific subgroup of Americans. Make a fair and balanced video discussing the US in say Iraq or Afghanistan or make a video of British colonial rule and impact or make a video on any European country with similar events and you will usually see relatively fewer nationalist and many from that country acknowledging the mistakes and bad deeds of their country in those videos.

  2622. All you anti west leftist just need to ask if India is happy they broke away from their oppressive non democratic rulers (British) despite millions dying in the aftermath. In case you don’t know know the answer, Indians are happy for that just like Libyans will be in the future that they got rid of Gaddafi.

  2623.  @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.

  2626.  @far_centrist  How is Far Centrist this lacking in basic education? To not understand how estimates are determined? "But here's the truth: the 20k-30k number came from the research done on surveillance of graveyard, combing rus social media of the soldiers family, verifiable picture evidence of their dead body and other verifiable sources" No, the 20k-30kis just for Bakhmut fighting. Media Zona is the one verifying as much as possible the total just as you described.
    2
  2627.  @far_centrist  They verified 20,000 and with estimate it's actually 50k. Casulties are usually about 4.5 of that so 50,000 times 4.5 is 225,000. That's a reason they are estimating over 200,000.

  2628.  @far_centrist  " think you are forgetting that this estimate is not on the low side, but on generous side" based on what? The Rus state media? They give 20k as a low estimate BTW. " In fact, the 30k estimates will only be real if the purported "human wave tactics" is actually being employed" there's literally released footage of that. Why do you think that 4 months of fighting would lead to 20-30k?

  2634. COLLAPSE is all relative. To expect China to collapse like USSR in 1980’s isn’t likely.

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

  2667. @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.

  2668. @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.

  2674. @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.

  2677. @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.

  2681. @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.

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
  2686. ​@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

  2687. @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.

  2688.  @zer0hero95  "From a documentary i saw they literally said they dont even want to be called American !!", yes, that is 100% evidence that most native Americans don't want to be called Americans AND that they want a free country.

  2689. @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?

  2693. @agapp11able Basically, these are the points: 1. You only trust the CCP and will not accept anything from any western country be it an humanatarian orginization 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 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. 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.

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.

  2695. @agapp11able 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?

  2696. @agapp11able - 1. You only trust western sources that are sketchy, have ties to US gov or departments of defence You have called every westenr sources sketchy and you literally used the CCP state media to defend the CCP. - I already gave you three sources (turpan, marlabashi and Karlig) and you continuously ignore them You said Turpan isn't a camp because it's near apartments. 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. I said racism exist, segregation was horrible, last president was a criminal, etc. Your criticism of China is "they banned private tutors". STHU you obvious wumao.

  2697. @agapp11able "I believe it because I saw the school playground" Then give me a picture of kids playing in that playground inside the compound. If it's just a school, why can't you find pics or videos of the school with kids outside? - ". I’m saying that the Australian gov and defence contractors give money to an organization and you expect them to be an unbiased source" Then you are confirming that you won't accept any source that is associated with western governments or western organizations or westerns. Huh -- that leaves basically just the CCP for you to accept. What a coincidence!! Australian govt can't be trusted in your opinion -- but China's govt can!!! "lol I sent a link yesterday with pitchan facility being exposed as a school with a video on twitter." Where? Give me the usernam and title he used so I can google it.

  2699. @agapp11able @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.

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.

  2700. @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.
    2
  2701. @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.

  2702. @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. 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

  2703.  @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
  2704. @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.

  2706. @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
  2707. @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
  2708. @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
  2709. @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.

  2710.  @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
  2711. @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
  2712.  @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
  2713.  @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
  2714.  @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
  2715. @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
  2716.  @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
  2717.  @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
  2718.  @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
  2719.  @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
  2720.  @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
  2721. @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.

  2730.  @ThePresentPast_ lol, I loved the video. As a history buff, you are probably my favorite channel. I always wondered what the difference was between Yugoslavia and Germany at the time of unification in the 19th century. “Germany” use to have many different German dialects/languages, they were split on religion (Protestant vs Catholic), etc.

  2731. The Swiss have to take a side now. They get all the benefits of being protected by the EU member states and NATO.

But I’ve never been to Germany and yet I know a genocide happened there. Have you been to Germany? Have you left China? All you did was confirm you are a die hard Chinese nationalist working as a wumao to defend concentration camps.
    2
  2735.  @makinoxin393  wumao, I said I’ve been to China 3 times, not 2 times. You didn’t answer — have you been to Germany? Did Germany have concentration camps in the past? Have you been to Xinjiang? And if so, did you stop by the camps? What’s you’re favorite vpn to use to get around the great firewall?
    2
  2736.  @makinoxin393  wumao, I asked you what vpn you like best to get around the great firewall but I also wanted to know if you ever left China? What is you’re primary source of information on news, especially what’s happening in Xinjiang? Is it Chinese state propaganda news?

  2737.  @regizeelement8511  you Wumaos spreading lies everywhere. In other comments you blame the west and US for Mao calling for a cultural Revolution that killed millions and blamed the US and west for tens of millions that starved to death because Mao was selling the food to Soviets for money and implemented horrible agricultural practices that dropped ag production. Wumaos everywhere

  2738.  @lung8143  "Im from Taiwan but I love to defend the CCP". Let me know if you believe China has concentration camps, wumao.
    2
  2739.  @lung8143  Why is that wumao like you can't answer if there are concentration camps in Xinjiang? Why do you post very long paragraphs just to ignore answering the question? The size of Xinjiang doesn't have anything to do with whether or not there are concentration camps in Xinjiang. Nor does it have anything to do with the fact the Han population was 5% in 1950 and now 40%. So just answer the question -- wumao, are there concentration camps in Xinjiang? Have large number of Muslims been sent to camps?
    2
  2740. @Antonio Yun Yang Wu Chen " and no, there is no number of muslims being sent to camps" Wumao Chen says Muslims in China aren't being sent to camps despite all the evidence and a former CCP detective saying so? What a shock!!! Wumao then deflects to unrelated drug abuse in broken English like typical wumao? What a shock Yun Yang Wu Chen!
    2
  2741. @Antonio Yun Yang Wu Chen " oh i also forgot, there are huge number of omicrons too in democracies right now," Last I checked, Taiwan is a democracy and doesn't have huge numbers. Same with NZ. But wumao Yun Yan Wu Chen in broken english must deflect to ominicron instead of acknowleding that CCP detective said there are concentration camps of Muslims where innocent muslims are being tortured.
    2
  2742.  @YumiiNoona  Huh, typical wumao deflects from the topic and points out covid cases as if that defends China's concentration camps. The same covid likley leaked from a Chinese lab and the virus spreading was kept a secret for about 2 months while the virus spread around the world.
    2
  2743. ​@Antonio Yun Yang Wu Chen "well, give me the evidences" Wumao, you're saying you haven't read about the Chinese detective that spoke out that China (him included while he worked in Xinjiang) was detaining mass number of innocent Muslims and torturing them? You haven't read the Amnesty International report of over a hundred people from Xinjiang with more than half saying they were detained and tortured and the other half being family of other muslims who were detained and torotured? You haven't seen the leaked CCP documents detailing their plan which was verified by a dozen experts? You haven't heard from the various other Muslims of Xinjiang who have fled and spoke out saying Muslims were being sent to camps and tortured? You haven't seen the satallite images of the concentration camps and evidence they were built in the past 5 or so years? Or seen the satellite images proving 1/3 of mosques were destroyed and another 1/3 damaged from 2017-2020? How have you not heard of any of this -- are you not using your VPN to get around the greatfirewall other than to make youtube comments? Come on wuamao.

  2745.  @brandonlyon730  it is anti American bigotry and it’s a tactic of the wumaos (CCP paid shills). It’s literally the playbook for them — deny the accusation against China then deflect with a little whataboutism to something else from another country, often the US. Ask them if they support Chinas concentration camps in a topic about China buying UN votes defending their concentration camps, they will deny there are concentration camps then just point to the US prison system as if it’s somehow the same. Yes, Us prison system is bad but that doesn’t make concentration camps something to defend by denying it. They are paid CCP shills typically but also fascist tankies. Yes, hard core communist that defend racist policies like concentration camps and targeting minorities.
    2
  2746.  @SpaceMonkeyBoi  your post comes off as defending China for doing horrible things. That’s literally why there are at least 5 wumaos in this thread of yours with lots of likes of their comments. Your post attracted the wumaos. You could edit your original comment and say it doesn’t excuse CCPs horrible atrocities (concentration camps, oppression) and aggression (trying to steal the south sea, threats to invade Taiwan).
    2
  2747. @Antonio Yun Yang Wu Chen believing a random detective? He showed to the news his credentials, told a story very similar to what 100 other Muslims said to amnesty international in a report that wasn’t released yet, Matched what CCP documents said, matched what satellite images showed, etc. But wumao like you wants video of the torture for you to believe it because you know that would be impossible since they ban recoding Devices in the camps.

  2751.  @noahjohnson935  Example of Putin. he helped out initially by stabilizing the country though a big part was just the fact oil prices doubled in his few few years.

  2755.  @gytan2221  yes!! I wonder if she’s fluent in Japanese as well. She sounded so Japanese with those pronunciations. Most people who aren’t fluent, even if they can speak it a little, have a noticeable accent that even a non Japanese speaker like me can pick up on. The fact she speaks English and Chinese so well and easily switched to American suburban girl accent likely means she’s really good at manipulating her voice and can properly pronounce words of lanyard she doesn’t even speak. Most people like that can also sing well.

  2760. Another misleading video. It was mostly right but as usually it makes the US look a lot worse than reality. For example, The “dictator” in Iran was actually very progressives and expanded women’s rights and tried very hard to improve the economy and help the poor. He expanded education etc. But yeah, just easy to say he was a dictator and leave at that. Also, the ayatollah didn’t care that the US helped over throw a democratically elected leader in Iran - he was upset that the dictator had given women so many rights

  2761.  @jaidenm9456  regardless if the people did not favor progressive policies, it’s not a reason to hate on him. It should be something positive when leaders try to make a country better. And the repression under the shah was very mild compared to before and after the shah and compared to other Mid East countries.

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.

  2786.  @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
  2789.  @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??

  2790.  @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.

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.

  2798. 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.

Well, that would also send Russia to before the Stone Age. What good is that for Russia?

Russia in 2022 just proved that if it’s former colonies didnt join NATO, Russia was indeed a threat to invade and will keep its colonies puppets. Cuban missile crisis is something uneducated people bring up. That was only a few years after the nuclear weapons became a thing and it wasn’t known if nuclear powers would attack each other. We have 60 more years of experience regarding that and we realized MAD (mutual assured destruction) was going to prevent nukes from being used Liz Do you really think the Russia doesn’t have nukes in subs in striking distance of the US?!?!

  2805.  @ancovisser2424  I’m from the US and travel a lot. I generally don’t care for traditional American food (except burgers — I know it’s not originally from US but it’s a staple for a long time) but most of our restaurants are probably international cuisines or internationally influenced American cuisine. Half the restaurants near me are Mexican Japanese Chinese Thai Vietnam Italian “Mediterranean” or middles eastern. The other half is split between just American or American-other infusion. Breakfast burritos are very common in the US and are based on Mexican food but modified. Crepes are popular in “American” restaurants. Go to a brunch place in the US and 1/3 of the food might be international food or international fusion. Just very different than my trips to Europe or most other countries where in most places 90% or the food is just the national cuisine of that country.

Don't get me wrong, there are some good dishes in those regions but it's all relative....I don't find those cuisines/dishes to be on the level of Mediterranean + France/Swiss/Belgium. If you tell me there are many good dishes in Scandanavia, i wont believe you! But central/eastern Europe do have a few dishes I've really liked.

  2807.  @SpartanLeonidas1821  oh, Achilles to Alexander was Alexander to Julius Caesar. Yeah everyone looked up to Alexander but after Caesar (probably both Augustus and Julius) everyone looked up to Caesar most. So much so that the Keizer and Tsar names in Russia and Germany come from Caesar!
    2
  2808.  @SpartanLeonidas1821  it’s funny that you say Hannibal, Scipio and Julius Caesar idolized Alexander if that proves me wrong. Hannibal and Scipio were before Caesar and and Caesar was…Caesar. I’m sure he picks himself over Alexander

  2817. A blockade of Taiwan would mean China would have to attack the US and it’s Allie’s. So at that point, China has lost.
    2
  2818.  @emperorjonz9590  “abusing freedom of navigation”…you mean by attacking American ships that will force their way into Taiwan to support Taiwan. I don’t think you are even thinking this through — you seem to suggest that China will out large scale ships preventing American ships from passing through all around Taiwan as if the US would then not go through. Let me ask you, just to make sure you aren’t extremely pro China bias “emperor Jonz”, what is going on in Xinjiang? Would you admit it something that starts with ‘gên’ and ends in ‘ocide’?
    2
  2819.  @Verpal  emperor Jonz is a Chinese govt Vumao. “Abusing the freedom of navigation”…he thinks the US and taiwans Allie’s will simply not go to Taiwan because China has hundred ships surrounding Taiwan? The US already regularly sends ships in areas that China and others illegally claim so that freedom of navigation is ensured. The US and it’s allies will not allow China to claim all waters around Taiwan so China will literally have to fire on American ships to claim the waters.

  2820.  @emperorjonz9590  don’t forget to let us know what is happening in Xinjiang so we know empeoror Jonz isn’t a puppet of the PRC

  2821.  @Verpal  maritime militias? The ones that the US blew by with ships? And you think that after the US said they will help Taiwan, they will not send aid through a blockade? It’s up to china to attack the US. Furthermore, you are aware the US has by far the superior navy? Add in that Japan (arguably 3rd strongest navy) would join and maybe even France and England (so 4 of the top 5 or 6 navyies). Yes, China can disrupt shipping but unless they attack the US/Japanese/allies ships, they won’t have a true blockade. Do you think the US would just not send any aid through blockade? And how will China enforce that blockade? I don’t know why you people refuse to just say it — China will indeed need to attack US ships to have a blockade.

I’m extremely fascinated about the Roman Empire (and ancient civilization / medieval civ in general including Egyptian, greek, Huns, mongols, Chinese, Islamic golden age) but it’s for various reasons.

  2834. Another great video. 4 videos in 2 days. I think India’s actions are indeed siding with Russia but India is conflicted on what is best for India. They aren’t criticizing Putin or Russia and increased purchases of Russian goods so actions suggest pro-Russia. With an authoritarian nationalist like Modi, this is what I expected. And given that 2/3 of Indians blame the west or blame both sides on war that is about the most black and white wrong vs right we have seen in decades, there is indeed some love for Russia in India. But I believe India is starting to realize that the future is with closer ties to the west and India is being impacted by Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine. The reasons why India may be starting to realize the future is with the west were many of the points brought up in the video. India’s biggest foreign policy concern is China, especially after another border clash. It needs the ‘global NATO’ to help counter China in the region. Continued close relationships with Russia will be a stain on India as well. And another major factor not mentioned in the video is that the west (plus allies such as Japan, South Korea, etc) is by far India’s largest trading partners. 18% of India’s exports are to the US alone, the biggest export market. India has had 30+ years to break the relationship. The US seems to be weakening their ties with Pakistan. It appears the US is putting together a military weapons package with discounts to help India break away from reliance on Russian weapons. Will it accept it and start making actual moves to align with the west? Or it’s also possible that India is just trying to milk both sides as much as it can. That nothing will actually change at least in the near future – India keeps it’s friendship with Russia and continues working with the west. Hard to tell.

All other gains in the busyRr going to people elsewhere and or govt revenues elsewhere

It’s 2022 and China is growing under 4% probably under 3% for the year. The polling has zero to do with approval of Xi in 2022z How is Beijing?

So those outside interference will continue to prevent wars. > During the Cold War Those were civil wars. We are talking about a LATAM country invading another. >. But american dominance is clearly waning, the disputes are still there and the military capabilities of the countries are rising None are remotely big enough to do a successful invasion. And Colombia is closely allied with the US so they would be under extreme pressure if they tried to invade anyone. But who would they invade? What border dispute is such a big problem for them?

  2851. 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.

  2860. Geography is NOT a problem for China and in fact it’s been great for China. 95% of all countries have a bigger geography problem than China. So many issues with this video but here are a few: 1. Already mentioned in the video, China has a lot of fertile land. 2. Borders with Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar are NOT problems for China. While the mountainous terrain does make it hard for China to invade Southeast Asia, China is also very mountainous in that area. So how can you say it’s a problem for China when China also has the same geography? This is only a problem if China wants to invade those ‘jungle countries’. 3. Tibet (Himalayan Mountains), Gobi desert protect and mountains along Vietnam/Laos/Myanmar protect China from the south and west. Again, these are GREAT for defense of China. It does make it harder to invade those countries – but that’s almost always the case. If you argue some border is great for invading, it likely means it’s weak for defending. Rarely will a border be great for invading and great for defending. 4. The pacific ocean allows distance between China and the US. I guess the argument in this video is that any access to the ocean is a bad geography problem – but it’s access to the pacific ocean is why it’s been a great export nation.

  2864.  @Naveen-tq7cg  "The fact that Beijing/Moscow bring these points up doesn't automatically discredit them" no, but it's not true as you descirbed it and it says a lot about you repeating talking points from them. " but it's an active decision to outsource your garbage." And yet China has worse regulation than even the US. So for the same good made, China is polluting a lot more. Maybe you would agree that China is only allowed to sell goods to other countries if it meets their environmental standards? Or at least on goods that go to the west? So a tariff on all Chinese goods that don't meet western environmental standards? You agree with that?
    2
  2865.  @Naveen-tq7cg  "I would be open to tariffs on highly polluting products. A flat tariff rate on a nation based on per capita emissions however makes close to no sense." It would have to be a flat tariff for all polluting products based on China's (or whoever else) NOT enacting environmental regulations that match the west and NOT following through with those environmental regulations if they were enacted. So China has to pass a min level of environmental regulations and actually follow through on the policy to avoid the tariffs. That would be easier than actually trying to calculate the emissions produced by each product You mentioned the west is just exporting it's pollution so this would mostly solve that specific issue about exporting pollution. We aren't talking about individual pollutions - that isn't what is exported.

But the reality is that the fracking bust has many oil execs worried about new drilling unless it’s cheap drilling. In 2021 and early 2022, they expected the the gas prices to drop and that the oil price increase was short term so it would be a bad choice to invest in more expensive drilling right now. He cherry picked quotes from those execs which is why you have to be careful with agendas driven channels. But the rest of the video was spot as far as I understand it.

  2871.  @Jashercapital  Yes, that is why few empires if any lasted as long as the Romans. China is tricky because you basically had a bunch of different states in the region but all of the same culture ('Chinese') so when one got taken down, the replacement continued the culture. But Roman Republic and Empire basically held from 700BC or so to 1453 AD. But in terms of true power, they were probably from 250BC to 1200AD so that's better range if you want to include the Byzantines. Many of the historically popular Empires had a short stay as powerful empire before collapse. 100 - 300 years seems very common in the middle ages and before. Something's changed since the middle ages with many countries or states around in the 1500's still around today.

  2872.  @Oldmanplum  The most powerful and advanced countries were able to come together and form a system that drastically decreased the amount of war and invasions in the world nearly 100 years ago because society evolved. The world mostly the same from 1000BC to 1400AD. Then there began to be more advance weapons and more support for ideas and thinking-- the renaissance. The progress was slow but you slowly saw early forms of capitalism that changed societies. Capitalism ideas likely spurred from the effects of the renaissance. Then the big changes happened with the Industrial revolution. People began to concentrate around cities creating more opportunity to share ideas. People also began to get wealthier and new industries meant less and less to Kings as people who weren't in the noble class began to become more influential and this included workers. With all these thoughts about democracy and rights, when WW2 happened and much of the world realized weapons were too powerful, they were in position to come together and forma a system that drastically decreased the amount of war and invasions. Wars of conquest all but disappeared in the west and other parts of the world. Most wars after that became wars over territorial rights among bordering stats or a civil war. And a lot of the civil wars were drawn along the lines of communist vs non-communist. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, those civil wars became far less common as communism began to die out. What did increase was the rise of Islamic groups starting civil wars and starting in 2011 a rise of the people against authoritarian governments such as the color revolutions. But it's the series of events that evolved society to get to the point where the world could decrease war.

  2874. Putin lost the war. If he was honest that the invasion of Ukraine was mostly due to fear of NATO expansion, Well NATO just got a huge border with Russia and and add in Sweden as well.

The same Russian government that will send you to prison for up to 15 years for saying anything that the government doesn’t like (“fake news law”). And the excuse you gave for invading Ukraine was an attack on a Russian post which Putin never brought up in his speech justifying the war a day before. Why do you believe everything your government says when the world knows it’s a lie?

Oligarchs have stolen money from the people so it’s okay to invade Russia. There are terrorist in parts of Russia so it’s okay to invade Russia. Lol, you Russian trolls come up with the lamest defenses. Oh, you don’t know anyone imprisoned for saying anything the government doesn’t like? There are thousands who are arrested and many still detained. And news organizations had to shut down because they could face imprisonment of up to 15 years — do they not tell you about this in Russia?

  2913. I like Roman but he’s full of it here. 538 (very reputable polling firm) looked at another polling the at isnt russian state media. They concluded Evidence of such a surge (pro war) also showed up in a survey by one of Russia’s most reputable independent pollsters, the Levada Center. The strong majority of Russians support the war. Levada also tested the polling by separating the group into 2 —- one gets asked how many of the 3 times do they support (gay marriage, monthly allowance for the poor, abortion) and another gets those same 3 plus one extra question — support for the actions of Russia in Ukraine. The difference in both groups will give you the % who support the war.

  2916.  @ligametis  Most of historic areas of Paris are indeed historic and or built to keep the history alive .Sure, buildings get fixed and replaced over time but it's historic.
    2
  2917.  @ligametis  you didn’t answer the question. Are you saying that that it would be perfectly fine if over the next several years for Paris to just build a bunch of modern sky scrapers and other modern buildings In the historic center area? There is a lot of value of preserving not only the very old historic buildings but the aesthetics of city center. So, why are you okay with just changing it all and how does it benefit Paris?
    2
  2918.  @ligametis  I’d also argue that 150-180 year old buildings have a lot of value in terms of history. Most historic city centers in Europe are not going to be bustling 300+ years old since most buildings need to be replaced over time. Look at the famous gothic quarter of Barcelona: - The quarter encompasses the oldest parts of the city of Barcelona, and includes the remains of the city's Roman wall and several notable medieval landmarks. Much of the present-day fabric of the quarter, however, dates to the 19th and early 20th centuries Usually only forts, churches and large estates are over 200 or 300 years.

Nothing will stop him except a heart attack because he eliminated his opposition.

If I went to the border states, I heard it’s even more flour tortillas used there. But in Los Angeles, you find lots of Al pastor. It’s one of the most popular tacos. I’ve traveled all over Mexico and the popular tacos in Mexico are also made in the US in areas with large Mexican population. Same tastes. The differences is mostly all the other meat choices that aren’t made much in the US or at all. In the US they tend to have maybe up to 7 meat options that are commonly found. In Mexico they use every cut of meat so a cheek, head (cabeza, and many others you will rarely find the US.

Taste the same as Mexico they just don’t serve the dozen other cuts that are for poorest people historically like eye balls, cheeks, head, etc. the top 10% tacos I’m Mexico are better but the top 30% tacos in LA are equal to or Better than the average taco in Mexico

  2930. Great video as always. This one issue is perhaps the most complicated issue you've discussed. In most other videos, there are nuances and it's not one side or the other side entirely wrong but it's usually one side more wrong and or there is a possible solution. On this, the best I can say is that Ethipia should for sure consider Egypt and Sudan in how they proceed. But beyond that, it's complicated. It's a problem today because all 3 countries saw explosive population growth since 1950. Sudan+South Sudan saw 7x growth, Ethiopia saw 6x growth, Egypt saw 5x growth since 1950. More industries, more farming, more people -- more water needed. It's not like just one country was at 'fault' for their population explosion, all 3 had similar growth. And Ethiopia needs electricity and the river starts in their country. So you can argue they have bigger say. But Egypt historically relied on it and has over 100 million people that would be in jeopardy of that water was reduced. If Ethiopia does restrict the the water enough to cause harm to Egypt, then one can think that Egypt should have just conquered Ethiopia years ago in order to protect their water sources. And by extension of that argument, Egypt might see fit to take some kind of military action today -- maybe not a war but destroy the dam. That might actually lead to a war.

  2931.  @edafeumukoro5369  why wouldn’t they? Don’t they have stronger military? A war wouldn’t be full invasion either.

  2932.  @edafeumukoro5369  Costs would be detrimental? Having the Nile River cutoff will be the most detrimental. And it's not a full invasion they would do, they would attack the damn and then it will be up to Ethiopia to decide if they will invade/attack Egypt.
    2
  2933.  @edafeumukoro5369  You severely underestimate the importance of water to Egypt.
    2
  2934.  @lto4827  And cutting off the water to Egypt would mean the end of Egypt. Period / Full Stop. So of course Egypt will only destroy the dam if it gets to the point where it's causing major damage to Egypt.
    2
  2935. @MT I'm confused, are you saying that Egypt would not destroy the dam if Egypt begins to suffer tremendously from lack of water?
    2
  2936.  @lto4827  " Ethiopia has no interest harming downstream countries." Oh yeah, we can totally believe whatever is said by the government that is slaughtering tens of thousands of civilians. I don't trust Egypt's government either. The point is that unless there are specific numbers in that 2015 agreement detailing that X amount of water must flow at all times, it doesn't mean much. And even if it had specific numbers, it would still have to rely on trust.

You also realize that historically it was Russia invading it's neighbors FAR more than it's neighbors invading Russia yet this video leads viewers to believe Russia was invaded more often or equally often. The fact is there is zero 'understanding why Russia is afraid" UNLESS it's goals are to have puppet states and bully it's neighbors but fears those nations retaliating. Literally every problem that is Russia related in that region is because Russia is a aggressive and wants to dominate it's former puppet states.

However, most large grocery stores (supermarkets) now have bakeries in them. Most ethnic grocery stores have Bakeries. One issue is that because it’s still a minority of the people that buy fresh bread, US doesn’t have economy of scales and has high price expectations which lead to fresh bread prices about twice what they are in Europe from my experience

  2965.  @StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe  I didn’t say Orban changed. OP said “leaders who have been in power for quiet some time OR have changed”. Orban has made elections in Hungary unfair and this his advantage almost like Putin and Erdogan have done.
    2
  2966.  @StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe  Orban worries me. I guess Erdogan too but maybe Orban worries me more because they are part of the EU and Orban is behaving more like a Putin and Erdogan than a typical EU country

  2967. This was my favorite episode in a long time. Probably because there are only so many food videos I’m willing to watch and this topic is very interesting and less often discussed on YouTube. I love learning religious ACTUAL history. Not what’s taught by the church or bible (or equivalent of whatever religion) but what actually happened

  2968.  @TheFlyingFish692  most of the world hates the US? Almost all Latin America countries have favorable views of the US. So do most of Europe. So do most of Asian countries. Never seen polling on africa so I can’t say. Vietnam and India don’t depend on the US but hate China

  2969.  @edwardhuang3751  "Throughout human history every country did bad stuff to further their power." yes, China has a huge history of that. More importantly, while the US and western countries and western aligned (south korea, japan, taiwan, etc) have evolved while China wants to behave like it's the 19th century. Just like their best friend Russia.

  2970. 9:15 lose a lot of credibility when you suggest that the US was behind bombing of nord stream pipeline. That would be the the worst thing for the US to do because if evidence was found, it would cause irreparable and major damage in the relationship. So why give that suggestion?? The video also lots of conspiracy like arguments. One the worst I’ve seen of this channel.
    2
  2971.  @ritemolawbks8012  exactly. The video seems to suggest that the US is similar to Russia. Such an action is not only a sign of a lawless country but would be a terrible decision because the benefit is small but the potential consequences would be unimaginable.
    2
  2972. I never thought of that but yeah, that might be an option. Russia was brutal on Chechnya and terrorism was a major problem out of there. Then Putin put in a puppet regime so there are a lot of similarities.
    2
  2973.  @ShaharHarshuv  Sort of. Except Israel didn't put in power the elected leader but the elected leader is a lot more moderate and no longer having elections. Hard to tell if Israel has bought him or if the Fatah leader actually does believe that the path to peace must include denouncing t8rror1sm and preventing it where possible. But regardless of how that situation is set up, it's ultimately what Israel would want in Gaza.

  2974.  @jasonl8326  Yeah, Putin having Chechens in Ukraine really proves how one can split a group and get one of the groups to ally with you.

  2978.  @michaelotieno6524  you Russian trolls are hilarious! Lol, instead of “think of the tens of thousands dying in Ukraine and their economy cut in half” it’s “why won’t you think of the invading Russians having to pay more for goods!!”

  2980.  @camaro67-l1g  “certain freedoms”. Lots more freedoms in the west. And the west is also significantly wealthier as Russia is a middle income nation with lots of poverty. Russia would be a poor country if not for its natural resources and would be a high income nation if they weren’t so corrupt and incompetent.

  2982.  @alcubz2622  good Point. The export of labor is indeed an indication of failed policies at home. IIRC, the Philippines economy is one of the most dependent on exported labor and just like the oil curse, this too can be a curse. Proper policies at home aren’t implemented because there is enough money coming from exported labor With many Filipinos speaking English, with the right policies, Philippines should be able to make much better economic progress like how India has been doing the past decade.

  2983.  @Shineon83  The issue being raised is whether or not the president will roll back the authoritarian steps or even just maintain it at the same level...or if he will continue to more authoritarian measures and possibly become a quasi dictator which is not uncommon in Latin America. There are a lot of polices enacted by the president that could have been done with less authoritarian measures but he still proceed with them. This is what is troubling me and others.

  2985. 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.

  2986.  @andrewaldrich3602  well, as others pointed out there are different types of farmers. Owning and running a large farm requires a lot of experience and intelligence. Running a small farm or being a farm hand doesn’t require as much complicated thinking. There aren’t many small farms in the US anymore.

  2987.  @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
  2988.  @arbjful  Fahad left me a comment that doesn't show but it was the most uneducated response I've seen.
    2
  2989.  @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.

  2992. I know it’s a lot of work to put out videos but I’m glad you are doing videos more frequent than every 2-3 weeks you were doing before Jan 2024. Great stuff. Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Hamas, China-(insert any neighbor), etc make for some good topics that can draw views. Plenty of other wars, crisis, conflicts but I don’t know how many of those can bring in viewers— so people care much about Sudan? Ethiopia? Somalia? Yemen (minus the attacks on boats)?
    2
  2993. And if you just worded it badly, yeah—e everything is totally false on the evidence. We can’t trust the mass number Uyghurs telling their stories. Can’t trust international humanitarian organizations like Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch. Can’t trust the various reputable media that has investigted it. Can’t trust the satellite images showing Islamic sites disappearing nor images of the schools that happen to have prison walls and watch towers. Can’t trust the leaked and hacked government and police documents that were verified by a collection of experts. It’s all one big coordinated plan by the international community and what China says is the truth
    2
  2994. Can we not? Well said. It becomes us vs them and the only solution must be the extreme ideological solution. Seems like a growing problem around the world — a lot more authoritarian left and right wingers. An embrace for racist nationalism or on the other side, socialism.

  2995. walosz chelsey Manning released state secrets that out a lot of people at risk. It’s possible people died out in the field as a result of the info that was leaked. Even given that, chelsey was released after a few years. In Cuba they would have killed you. How are they remotely the same? You just sound like an idiot trying to equate the two by ignoring all the huge differences. Is the news in Cuba censored and controlled by the state? If so, how you ignorantly keep saying “but it’s all the same!”. Does Cuba make emigration near impossible and did they not imprison and or kill those that tried to leave in the past? If so, how can you ignorantly keep saying “but it’s all the same!”
    2
  2996. walosz free trade and trade are not the same. Most socialist / communist countries historically had high tariffs. Most strongly capitalist nations seek 0% tariff (free) or close to it. How can you keep making ignorant comments like this — suggesting free trade and any trade are the same

  3003.  @doujinflip  100% true. China did have a brief moment when they created a large navy that was headed by Zheng He in the early 1400's. Then they quickly ended that. That navy reached India and even Africa but they saw no financial justification for it since they believed (with merit) they have enough goods & resources either in 'China' or can be obtained by land trade. The Europeans lacked a lot of resources so they were always incentivized to build a navy for trade and protecting trade.

  3009.  @louiscypher4186  I think it’s part ideology and part knowing they can’t get approval for trains. But a rapid bus system would be the next best choice after trains and not this taxi system. Los Angeles has a major problem with “not in my backyard” so new train lines wouldn’t too difficult

  3010. I have not been to Japan but wen to KFC China. It was certainly much better than KFC US. KFC in the US use to be quality in the 80's but I think starting in the 90's, they felt pressure to compete in pricing and started lowering their quality. Then later some regional chains serving higher quality chicken start dominating the US market. Chick-Fil-A and Raising Canes took a big chunk and then popeye was more of a direct competitor on pricing and served better chicken. Today, nobody talks about KFC in the US.

  3011. China reaching upper income is now highly unlikely. Along with banking and housing crisis, they age a demographic one too. All the rosy estimates of 5% growth through 2030 and now likely 3%. And that’s assuming they didn’t get hit with a huge housing crash. When japan and South Korea where at same level China is today, Japan and Sk had 6-9% gdp growth. China is in trouble if their goal was to become an upper income country. They will be trapped in middle income.

  3015. Good quality bread in the US costs twice as much as it does in Europe in part because economies of scale and price expectations. In Europe since everyone buys bread a few times a week and they have expectations the price will be below a certain amount, you end up with good bread at half the price of the US for comparable bread

  3020. Reserves were used to prop up the ruble for a while which was being funded by the high prices of gas in early and mid 2022. Price of gas dropped meaning they can't replenish as much of the reserves which means reserves are now declining to the point where they can't use as much of it to prop up the ruble. Not really surprising when you consider all the factors.

  3027.  @jamespowell5608 , nationalizing without compensation is bad for business. It might still be a net positive if the government can do something positive and increase the benefit of what it confiscated/ nationalized AND if that increase benefit is more than the decrease. This is one of the biggest reasons Venezuela has suffered Gulf states don’t have other industries to scare away and have so much easy oil per capita so nationalizing is generally okay for those situations. But history has shown vast majority of the times it’s bad when govt nationalizes

  3030.  @paulkennedy8701  also, you do realize that almost all the evictions during 2009-11 were from renters not paying rent, right? Do you think landlords shouldn't be evicting people who don't pay rent?

The shipping part is cheap because China is taking advantage of an international system set up by the US and a few other to help poor countries by subsidizing shipments of low value products making it nearly free for China (or poor countries) to ship products directly to consumers. Free to Chinese company ..paid by tax payers of the country receiving it

  3050. Overall a well balanced and thought out video. Mexico is indeed prime to be the next China, though 1/10th the population. But the Mexican president AMLO is actually a hinderance on that as he has been somewhat anti business in many policies. He certainly isn't doing much to help which was highlighted in the video. With the right president and federal government, I think Mexico can realize that potential and start seeing big improvements to the economy. The time is now for them to act. 10 years from now, the dust will be settled and it will be difficult for Mexico to gain new industries at that point. So glad the Mexican states are taking on the responsibilities to attract the factories.

  3059.  @tsugumorihoney2288  Ukrainians started from scratch in 2014 and with US weak weapons are beating Russia. Ukraine is being trained but so have so many other militaries in the past. It takes a long time of training and creating a system to become a legit top level military. Ukraine is also receiving American intelligence information which also helps. Now imagine if Ukraine was given the full arsenal of US weapons — the top airplanes, drones, HIMARS with 300km range (not just the 50km range they have), and other advance missile systems

  3060.  @Lena-vw6ye  to sum up, you believe Putin is so Evil he would indeed use nukes and is okay with millions of Russians dying from Ukraine attacking Russian cities. And you think Putin so evil he would use nukes on NATO thus he doesn’t care if Russia is destroyed and millions gone.

They also have far more university educated youths than jobs for university educated youths. They will need to figure out how to get more youths into other skilled trades that aren’t office jobs.

  3067.  @landonyoung4850  everyone had a place to live but you ignore that for most people, it was shitty housing and often had to share a place. My point was for the bottom 1%, maybe the USSR was better but for the other 99%, the USSR was worse. That’s why millions and millions fled the USSR and east Europe despite often risking death.
    2
  3068.  @landonyoung4850  In early and mid Soviet era, Kommunalki (communal apartments) were common. These were apartments that were shared by 2-7 families. They were still found in late Soviet Era and even in 1996, places like St Petersburg still had 20% of their housing as communal apartments. Khrushchyovka were the common apartments of the late soviet era. These are mostly cheaply made drab boring apartments where people were packed into these 5-12 story tall buildings. Most had no elevators, most (many?) had combined bathrooms, and apartments would be 30m^2 to (320 ft^2) to 60m^2 (645 ft^2). They were basically built to last only 20-30 years and were supposed to be temporary housing until the USSR got wealthier….which never happened so they became long stay apartments. So like I said in my other comment, sure if your in the bottom 1% or so in the west, it was better to be in the Soviet Union where you did have housing (even if small and/or had to be shared) but for the other 99% of the people, the housing in west/US was better. I also follow this youtuber who grew up in the Ukriane in the 70’s and 80’s. He gives his life’s experience and the experience of Ukrianians and Russians during that era. He’s got a series of videos on housing in the USSR. Ushanka Show is the name of the channel. https://youtu.be/9xJXbFjXJAE

  3069.  @landonyoung4850  slums of 1920’s Americas is better than a slum apartment shared by 7 families!! But yeah, I guess you must be right How many Americans live in 1BR? The average 1BR size in the US is 2x larger than Soviet Russian equivalent so you’re full of shit. And the 1BR American apartment isn’t split among 2 families like Soviet Russia
    2
  3070.  @landonyoung4850  been to Soviet bloc. I’ve seen Soviet videos. I literally linked you one from a former Soviet citizen. Only you would argue that a 320 sq ft 1 room apartment in Soviet Russia is better sub 700 sq ft American 1BR.
    2
  3071.  @TheNinetySecond  you can like Soviet style housing for the poorest while acknowledging that homes for the top 99% in the west were better. Communal living should be an option not something where people don’t have a choice

The video did great job of explaining all the massive issues Chinas faces form demographic to housing to banking. 50 centers just want to spread disinfo What’s worse for CN is that have alienated half the world GDP which is leading actively de coupling from China while Japan didn’t face that issue.

  3080.  @pillowtalker8398  Those I listed are first and foremost, food shows. Drew is not. So they are very different. A closer match would be peter santenello. He went to Los Angeles before and I just looked him and what luck....he's in LA or was recently there again. Peter Santenello does more unique stories like Drew but with more edge. For example, here are the last few videos he's released: 1. Inside Watts CA Hood - Imperial Court Projects 2. Inside Los Angeles Cowboy Culture (Compton) 3. At America’s Most Lawless Border (With Arizona Sheriff) his other recent videos of LA include Chicago Culture with an OG and Samoan Gang Life in LA.
    2
  3081.  @pillowtalker8398  Peter doesn't make the best videos but he does cover topics that aren't frequently talked about. One interesting video was about japanese that moved to LA to be part of the mexican American Chicano culture. He also spend a few days with the Amish in Ohio which was very interesting. I believe he's a one man operation (might get support from his significant other) so he doesn't have time & resources to make the videos as exciting as they could be with proper editing or proper planning.

  3095.  @ssrbgangimaribotan6thofthe12  "he goal is not to get profits from the infra but the mobility it provides. Infrastructure should never be seen with profit margins only" Money doens't grow on a trees. If you keep spending more and more on infrastructure and they are not increasing your economy to recoup those costs, then you are throwing money away, growing your debt, and increasing your debt costs (debt has interest rates to pay). This means over time, the country collapses. Money doesn't grow on trees regardless of what ur bosses in Beijing said

  3096.  @ssrbgangimaribotan6thofthe12  " japan also got plagued by economic problems in the 90s ".. Yes they did...and Japan was 3x to 4x as rich per capita as China is today when that happened. That's a major difference that anyone with reasonable thinking skills would see. > as every single of those east asian nation you mentioned currently is stuck in the middle income trap Imagine being of zero honesty and saying Japan South Korea and Taiwan are miiddle income where China is at despite those countries being 2x or 3x the GDP per capita of CHina
    2
  3097.  @ssrbgangimaribotan6thofthe12  "America is the biggest example (stocks)". Beijing dude thinks that the country with highest GDP per capita (over 15 million population) is a good example of how stock market over time isn't reflective of how a stock market that does well over the long run has a strong growing economy over the long run? U pointing out peaks and crashes just shows you don't know what 'over the long run' means or just pretending not to know b/c Beijing bosses said so

  3102. Well, those people you named are but a few and the research still holds. I think what matters is where on their rise is the company when the entrepreneur leaves-dies-retires. If the company is still rising, the entrepreneur gone will have a negative impact for sure. If the company is already peaked, I don’t think the entrepreneur adds much. So Gates stepping down when he did in his 50’s was not a big deal. If Zuckerberg were replaced today that could be positive. So long as the company is no longer an innovative company, the entrepreneur adds little value compared to another accomplished CEO stepping in

  3103.  @Liboch  so looked it up on Wikipedia. The countries you listed have a higher percentage of English speakers (I’m surprised Malaysia is so high at 62% but the others I knew where higher) but total population of English speakers, India is second the world and more than all the countries you listed combined. Wikipedia says India has 130 million speakers and China only has 10 million. They even note that that there is a often a cited “300 million” but that is for learners, on 10 million can actually speak it. I’ve been to China many times - almost nobody speaks more than a few broken words in English though the youth from good schools in in major cities seemed to have a much higher rate of English.
    2
  3104.  @Liboch  Singapore for sure has big English rate. I’ve seen videos from there and almost everyone speaks English. I’m still surprised with Malaysia. China — it’s tough to get around if you don’t speak Chinese. I don’t feel China is going to have a huge population of good English speakers anytime soon. They are very closed off and nationalistic compared to other counties. And with 1.4 billion people, they have a big enough local market to not be forced to speak English. In fact all of east Asia seems to have very low numbers of English speakers.

As the video points out, the troops can beat Al-Shabaab in the battles but as soon as the government troops leave, Al-Shabaab retakes it. It's a lot more to do with support Al-Shabaab has. Ukraine is fighting a traditional war and the vast majority of Ukrainians don't support the opposition (Russia).

  3109. In the US, there needs to be an increase of people going to community colleges. If you’re not American, not sure how to describe them. They function kind of like a trade school but also can be used to replaced your first two years in a university by taking the basic level courses for cheaper and close to home. The associate degree one gets from a community college cms be used for many things such as nurse, technicians, paralegal, etc.

  3110.  @rylandrc  Got it. YT has made many changes that make the experience worse. Getting rid of dislikes?? I have to watch a video in part or entirety to find out if it's any good? And comments no longer showing dislikes? Then YT removes so many comments and it's hard to know why. I'm also getting far more YT commercials which I believe might be related to me watching more YT (they know I will keep tuning in). I'm seriously going to look at Nebula or whatever the service is that most of these educational videos are on.

  3111.  @rylandrc  "but it looks like very few new comments were added due to no longer being anywhere visible near the top." Yeah, when you first replied to that the post is buried this comment chain had about 90-95 replies .

  3112.  @rylandrc  I've had the increased ad for at least 2 months but maybe it was still part of Holidays? Before last week, I used my iphone for 95% of youtube and my tv or computer for the other 5%. But I've been using my computer (with 27" monitor) a lot more the past few weeks. I'll get the ad blocker on my computer and I"ll look into apps for phone usage.
    2
  3113.  @rylandrc  I did figure out somewhat hack on phone when I kept getting all the ads. I'm getting a lot more "1 of 2 ads" with the first being a full 15 second! I realized one day when I cast my phone YT to my TV at the beginning when the ad is playing, it just skips the ad! So with all these longer and more frequent ads, I tried something new -- if I get a full 15 second ad or "1 of 2 ads", i just quickly connect my phone to my TV, wait for it to connect (takes like 2 seconds), then disconnect and the video starts up on my phone without any commercials! But I'm starting to notice I'm getting hit with a short ad a couple minutes into watching (2-4 minutes) so maybe they try to correct for that.

  3114.  @UmbraHand  I get it, you aren’t smart. By your logic, the US has a bigger economy and US is certainly a more powerful global force so Polymatter should have more than 50% content about the US. I honestly don’t know how someone can be as dumb as you. It’s an opinion that Polymatter is too repetitive (though well founded opinion) and you seem to argue an opinion is wrong?!? And your logic is that China is 2nd biggest economy so it makes sense that over half of the content is about China?!

  3116.  @user-yy4ux9zf4r  Yeah, 700k people in Oslo proper and only 1million in the whole 'urban area' and 1.5m in the whole 'metro. not sure of the difference of urban vs metro but I imagine the 0.5m difference between the two are further away towns that are reachable to Oslo and whose industries are tied to Oslo but there is a lot of non urbanized areas in between. I'm from Chicago and the city itself is 2.7 milllion with a greater urban population of 9m and metro population of 10m. Oslo is about the same size as Seville and that was a rather small city IMO. At least compared to Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon that I made on two trips.

  3117.  @blijebij  "So 50% of the Dutch is against the fact colonialism is over? " That would mean 50% are in support. Not following what you are trying to argue. "In other words 50% of the Dutch would find it ok if colonialism in all her forms (so as it was) would still be there today. " Them thinking positive about something that happened 200 years ago doesn't mean they welcome it today. And your argument seems to suggest Netherlands willingly up colonialism -- as if it wasn't an empire in collapse that couldn't hold it's empire and then WW2 destroyed it's abilities to maintain the small empire it had.

  3119. @WhoDis the US helping Ukraine defeat the invading Russians is a threat to Russia so Russia had to invade Ukraine for that reason? What kind of logic is that.
    2
  3120. @WhoDis “the threat has been present well before 2014 when nato said Ukraine could eventually join”. They were declined. Then Ukraine withdrew their application in 2010 so it wasn’t on the table in 2014 when Russia invaded. So you’re saying the invasion is justified Because Ukraine once applied to NATO? Then the US should invade every country aligned with Russia today. Furthermore, why did Ukraine want to join NATO? What did they fear? Come on, answer it.

  3131.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  my case? I was adding to what the research showed. I didn’t argue against the study on Chinas gdp unlike the person I was debating. And I called out how the person I was debating is engaging in bad faith arguments here and other comments. Are you going to say the study was wrong? If not, you agree with me then
    2
  3132.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  and it’s funny — you seem to indicate the research is correct and yet are defending the people who are arguing / suggesting the research is wrong. One of those people is literally also arguing it’s wrong to say China lied despite it being intentional, gross exaggeration, and for nefarious reasons. So why don’t have a problem with me and not the ones who refute the paper and say it’s wrong to say China is lying?

  3148. Ethan chlebowski did it a video on bay leaves. Someone else linked it but didn’t give input on the result. IIRC, He found bay leaves do work for subtle flavors such as rice and I would assume in this chicken stock. But it’s subtle so it probably doesn’t work well in anything you’re going to add tons of Spice or other flavors.
    2
  3149.  @KIJIKLIPS  i think Adam isn’t so sure because you usually can’t taste the bay leave but you will notice the difference if you don’t use it. It’s a subtle flavor only noticeable when not used. Also, since it’s a subtle flavor, it only works in specific dishes and Adam probably isn’t very use to those dishes.
    2
  3150.  @KIJIKLIPS  yup, I’ve been experimenting with bay leaves. If there are are many strong other ingredients, I can’t taste the bay leaves. But if it’s a more simple dish (fewer strong flavoring ingredient), the bay leaves do make a big difference.

Philippine I see online that service sector passed up manufacturing and the biggest part of service is "Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)". Definition: Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a method of subcontracting various business-related operations to third-party vendors. Broadly speaking, companies adopt BPO practices in the two main areas of back-office and front-office operations. Back office BPO refers to a company contracting its core business support operations such as accounting, payment processing, IT services, human resources, regulatory compliance, and quality assurance to outside professionals who ensure the business runs smoothly. By contrast, front office BPO tasks commonly include customer-related services such as tech support, sales, and marketing.

You, however, are interesting for your overall knowledge and ability to talk to us the audience in a way that keeps us entertained in whatever topic your talking about.

  3172.  @ogamaniuk  "The weapon Ukraine is receiving now is used to substitute the losses" the weapons going now are MUCH more powerful -- they are real tanks, they are missile defense systems, etc. "Now russia almost completed the partial mobilization and trained its soldiers." And by most accounts, still sending them to be slaughtered just to gain some very small towns. This is supported by recent reports that Russia is doing another round of mobilization.
    2
  3173. 12:01 FYI, you asked the question differently in the poll. Here you mentioned that it’s an automatic loss if if the larger event happened so if you place 5 soldiers /km, the invasion will be 100% successful. Without that context, answers between 3-9 could have made sense if they were able to slow down the invasion for support (additional soldiers) to arrive

  3176. 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
  3177.  @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
  3178.  @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

  3179.  @yulusleonard985  I don’t care for excuses for Russia. Not sure why you bring it up.
    2
  3180.  @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
  3181.  @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
  3182.  @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
  3183.  @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)?
    2
  3184.  @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
  3185.  @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
  3186.  @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
  3187.  @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
  3188.  @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
  3189.  @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
  3190.  @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
  3191.  @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
  3192.  @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
  3193.  @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
  3194.  @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
  3195.  @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.

  3208. @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.

  3209. @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 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.

  3222. @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
  3223. @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.

  3225. @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
  3226. @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?

  3227. @agapp11able from mediabasfactcheck: - Overall, we rate The Grayzone Far-Left Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and consistent one-sided reporting. I guess it's not spreading fake news so long as someone else said it first!! So if Trump stated a lie and conspiracy theory, reporting on it as a fact makes it true!
    2
  3228. @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.
    2
  3229. @agapp11able I'm confused --- you have evidence that Pete Buttigieg is a CIA agent?? You have evidence that Bill Gates ran a Covid simulation before it occurred.?
    2
  3230. @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.

  3231. @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

  3232. @agapp11able I’m glad you agree those aren’t schools after lying over and over they where schools
    2
  3233. @agapp11able I agree what your latest take — ASPI didn’t identify schools but prisons used to house the millions of Muslims they began detaining since 2017. So why say they were schools?

  3240.  @hegaliandialectics4289  so now you’ve completely change the discussion. I was arguing with you on the democratically elected communist leader statement you made. Also, most of the time US imperialism didn’t end an ideology? To paraphrase Austin powers movies quote, “the Cold War is over.

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.
    2
  3249.  @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’s one of the weakest videos of the channel IMO.

  3251.  @Minty1337  oh, and overall it works well on some things such as medicine and mosquito nets despite the video at times saying it doesn’t by pointing to examples of some parts where it doesn’t work. It can be improved but to say it (medicine / mosquito nets) doesn’t work is clickbait

  3258. China sided with evil, evil is losing, China is not trying to repair their image for siding with evil. China (like Russia) thought the war would be over in days or weeks which would allow China to benefit with a Russian quick win. China has further cemented itself as a nation that cannot be trusted by the international community. Chinas support for Russia has alienated China further. It backfired terribly for Beijing.

  3260. Economy is mixed but inflation is indeed an issue. That is a big driver of the unpopularity but also the major factor is the polarization of politics. Biden is one of the lowest approval but trump was one as well and Obama was below average approval. The approval from opposition party voters is shrinking and shrinking meaning almost all the approval is coming from your own party. Biden is under 40%, Trump was mostly around 42%, Obama was mostly 45% but go back to Clinton and he was often around 60%. Reagan was often above 60%.

  3272. "As any other country, China will act in self-interest " Sure, but that seems like an excuse for any self-interest. Their interest are dangerous to the world which is also why it shouldn't have been a surprised they didn't remain neutral. >While I don‘t expect the US to decline to a point where the Chinese and Russians can overtake the US, the US‘ influence will be challenged. Not just from the Russians and Chinese but potentially from the Europeans themselves, especially when you look at China. Europe will be the real challenger but that's good. China and Russia will have trouble actually making serious allies and what Russia has done in Ukraine and how China has acted towards Europe and others in East Asia, it actually strengthened 'the west'. What China and Russia are doing are driving more countries to strengthen their relationship with the US and/or west. Vietnam & Phillipines but you can see concerns about China from Malaysia and Indonesia as well which will only move them more towards the west. But there will be a collection of countries that will join Rus-CN, mostly a few authoritarian middle east and authoritarian African countries.

  3273.  @lzl4226  Russia keeps it vague just like the US keeps it vague how they and nato will respond — so they aren’t out in a position where they have to do something. Russia is threatening nukes but hasn’t detailed exactly the line so that they don’t seem to weak with their threats not carrying weight. And the US / NATO will respond to russias use of nukes with an all out aerial bombardment and missile strike. They would wipe out 50k-80k Russian soldiers in ukraine and in Black Sea in a short time. If Russia believes their offensive war in Ukraine being attacked in Ukraine by NATO deserved a nuclear attack on NATO, he would know NATO would destroy Russia and even if Putin is crazy, those around him would stop him if it came to that. They have families to worry about.

  3300.  @avinnash_kumar  doing what’s best for India would mean aligning more with the countries that will help counter Chinas influence and ambitions in the region, especially after another border clash with India. Best for India would be aligning more with Indias biggest trading partners. Guess what, that’s not Russia. It’s the west. US is by far biggest export market for India. And India needs the US and Allies to counter China. So I question that you actually care for what’s best for India.
    2
  3301.  @avinnash_kumar  You also didn't address how the biggest trade partner for India is the US and how India has far more trade with 'the west and allies' than it does with Russia and others. It's not even close. So you want a worse economy for India just so you can support Russia's land grab imperialism in Ukraine.

  3302.  @martin32074  " 4 Percent is still a lot consider the base number. This is not failing. Its called return to normal level." And if your goal is to reach income levels remotely near Japan and South Korea (let alone the US which is even higher), it's called failing the objective. 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.

  3324.  @isaihernandez4136  "By the way do you have any proofs of the "gen-ide" in Xinjiang" I'm so surprised!! I guessed it. Literally its the definition from the UN. There are 2 parts to the definition. The first is showing intent for it and the 2nd is just meeting just ONE of 5 acts. The intent: gen-ide 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: The intent is indeed to destroy as much of that religioun or ethnic identity. of the 5 acts, the following are proven: b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (xinjian police files plus former policeman from Xinjing confirm it as well as countless of testimonies) C. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; D. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (forced sterilization -- lots of evidence).
    2
  3325.  @Lucas-vr1qr  That's it. Well, besides the testimony from countless of Uyghurs. And besides the picture evidence of factories built next to the detention facilities where they placed up the innocent but rounded up Uyghurs. Other than that, just a picture of one woman harvesting crops.
    2
  3326.  @isaihernandez4136  The full definition (which YT removes so no one will see this but you): 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: a. Killing members of the group; b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group
    2
  3327.  @Lucas-vr1qr  source they have increased since 2017? The only data we have since 2017 is how rapid instant drop in births in 2017 when it all began. So actually the evidence does support a gen -ide. Can you also point out where in the UN definition of gen-ide it says that a population loss and an immediate one is required?
    2
  3328.  @Lucas-vr1qr  if you can’t provide where in UN definition of gen-ide it says population losss and immediate population loss at that is required than u have proved to be a vvumao that won’t stick to facts

  3329.  @frka.836  you are making the mistake of conflating bailout loans with project loans.

The loans they offer are for projects they will build or are part of the building process. The west also offers those but it’s not the same as the bailout loans you mentioned

  3330.  @frka.836  also, the western projects to build something do come with stipulations on safety and environmental concerns while China doesn’t care about safety and environmental concerns. Maybe that’s the strings attached you were talking about but you mentioned theories so I’m sure you are referring to bailout loans that require economic changes
    2
  3331.  @frka.836  so, where you indeed talking about Bailout loans?

  3332.  @Lucas-vr1qr  Lucas, not going to Point out where in UN definition it says population decline is required? Typical vvumao

  3333.  @Lucas-vr1qr  you also ask why autocratic oppressive regimes support China? The same regimes at war with other Muslims? Why is that the only nations that provided any support for China are those ranked near bottom in human rights index?
    2
  3334.  @Lucas-vr1qr  do you believe Iran and Saudi Arabia and Syria are better at human rights than Sweden or Norway or New Zealand?
    2
  3335.  @Lucas-vr1qr why won’t you provide a source that population decline is a requirement? Was it more false info from you?

  3337.  @Lucas-vr1qr  you won’t bother trying to explain why most countries didn’t support China in UN vote and that from those that did, almost all were low ranked in human rights indexes and almost all that opposed China were the highest ranked in human rights?

  3338.  @Lucas-vr1qr  why would Muslims countries who have almost non existent human rights on their own Muslims population and constantly at war with other Muslims support a large trading partner in China? You can’t be serious
    2
  3339.  @Lucas-vr1qr  I’m addition, Saudi Arabia is full of anti Christian and anti Judaism people. Yet they work with the US and are now having closer relations with Israel. It’s obvious human rights or for what their population support is of little concern for these kings and authoritarian autocratic leaders.

  3340.  @edwardcoit9748 interesting. Univ of Chicago isn’t downtown but it could be why they are more aware of Chicago. And then add in the beauty of downtown, it’s probably why almost every video here when referencing global rich cities / countries include shots of downtown Chicago and almost never (for example) Los Angeles
    2
  3341. @ I said “certainly outside of older historic centers”. So I was referring to modern downtowns. I don’t know if I’ve been to a large modern downtown that looked nicer than Chicago. Newer downtowns can look either run down or just lacking flavor

  3342.  @CJONTHEHOUSE  funny how you CCP apologist had trouble with johnnys video on China and then you come here to spread mis -info such as suggesting Singapore is poor while India is rich in order to defend the false claim by Johnny that europe was poor in 1500.

  3344.  @JordanHarbingerShow  that is their tactic and it’s easy to spot. They keep moving goal posts or they state false info disguised as factual then move to another talking point while you fact check their claim. Rinse and repeat. No surprise that I was in another discussion with him in another chain of comments and he wouldn’t acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang. Same thing happened with the other guy in this thread defending China, ChinaSongsCollection. These “people” operate exactly the same with the same tactics.
    2
  3345.  @JordanHarbingerShow  but Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria and slavery and black lives matters and corporate media!! Don’t you see, these are the reasons why China is better!!….they love their whataboutism as much as they love denying anything horrible is going on in Xinjiang.
    2
  3346.  @JordanHarbingerShow  you’re interview with Clint watts (former fbi?) and laowhy (c-milk, Matt) are very relevant to this here. I follow plenty of YouTubers that engage in either world politics or global information such as this Channel, real life lore and Polymatter among others. If the topic is China, it gets flooded by the same types defending China and not once have any of them been able to acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang. It seems like it’s a playbook they are all using and likely many are paid by the CCP to influence the discussions or they are drones that watch CCP media then repeat what the CCP says. But the fact they are unable to make any criticism of China and use the same talking points suggests it’s mostly coordinated, at least the obvious pro PRC commentators.
    2
  3347.  @JordanHarbingerShow  it’s the same thing and actually worse on Reddit. It’s full of so many CCP $hi||s using the same tactics as those on YT. On Reddit, those Wvumaos are also joined by edgy anti US crowd or tankies — the difference is easy to spot be used the Wvumao states only positive things about China but won’t acknowledge the bad parts of the Chinese government while tankies will openly admit some of Chinas bad such as oppression of the people but they defend it by saying it’s just as bad in the west. The vvumao will state “Chinas isn’t oppressive. The govt controls the media to protect the people from false information”. The tankie or Edgy anti west redditor would say “yeah, It sucks China does censor a lot of stuff but the west is just as bad with censorship and the corporate media also lies to you”. I don’t understand they the CCP $hi||s can’t at least fake some criticism of China — it’s such a dead giveaway when they defend everything about China and the CCP.
    2
  3348.  @JordanHarbingerShow  there is one YouTube user (agapp11able) that I saw frequently defend everything about China and when we traded sources on Uyghurs, he used Chinese state media as a source and some random Twitter account that had a picture of a map that was proof no g8noc1de in Xinjiang. I gave him sources and he dismissed it all because of western bias even when one of my sources (ASPI) actually had picture and video evidence of China staging videos such as those he showed me from Chinese state media. I googled his username and found out he’s from Russia and almost all his comments online are defending China or Russia even in remote forums like a Kazakhstan website. He too is unable to criticize either China or Russia — not even one criticism when I asked him to prove he’s not paid. He has since deleted a lot of his comments because I caught him lying — he stated in YT he was Ukrainian (then went on to criticize Ukraine in a video about Russia invading Ukraine) but elsewhere he stated he was Russian and he lives in Russia. Caught him on that and he’s deleted some of his comments. Russia and China are certainly working hard to control the public narrative.

As someone from here, I’m not as interested in much or the US just because it seems like where I live so my wanderlust is usually foreign countries. But there are some very super unique parts of the US. New Orleans feels Like a different country — almost like an old European city. Hawaii feels like asia with so many Japanese and Chinese plus Polynesian and more. Boston feels very very old by US standards. Las Vegas is It’s own thing unlike anything in the world. Orlando Florida is the theme park capital of the word. The whole west coast is amazing with beaches mountains and nice big cities. NYC is amazing because of the skyscraper and so much to see. Those along with national parks are probably the best places to visit.

  3359. Very good points. The US could shoot and destroy those islands. However, that does mean it's an added level of defense the US and allies must get by if CN were to invade TW which would delay the help. I think what it mostly is for is pure power projection -- CN wants to steal the south island sea and believes such power projection will lead to eventually others giving up and just giving CN a bigger portion of the sea. Or use it as negotiations such as "okay, we will remove the bases if the UN recognizes this part of the sea as ours" .

Any reasonable person (i.e. non communist) would see South Korea is not only a HUGE improvement over NK but also SK today is one of the more successful countries.

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.”

Or Jian Yang in New Zealand becoming part of the their parliament yet was found to have connections with the CCP which is why it's been reported he was forced to retired when the PM came to him with intelligence that was gathered. Or the meddling in Australian politics. According to reports filed to the Justice Department under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), China has spent more over the past six years—$280 million—to influence U.S. politics than any other foreign country. Then there is a massive disinformation campaign they use all over the internet. There's also the bribery in many countries to not get leaders to choose a Chinese project. Vice News has a great video where they went undercover and found one such operation in South America. Part of the undercover operation, they ended up meeting with the leader of Guyana. It's an interesting video because both sides have middle men so that the top people don't speak directly about the bribe.

  3416. There is lots of good bread in the US in major cities but they cost at twice what it cost in Europe. Besides the fact that europe has economies of scale and strong competition for fresh bread (since almost almost everyone buys fresh bread a few times a week), there is also a price expectation in europe for bread. As a few other pointed out a contributing factor may also be that US living more spread out (especially suburbia and rural America) means a significant number of Americans limit their shopping. This may have influenced culture as a whole because I live in a densely populated area of Chicago and there really aren’t any corner bakeries near me — the large grocery stores have bakeries but they are 10min and 15 min walk away from me. In Europe these small bakery shops are everywhere!

Serbia formed out of Yugoslavia and Iraq was formed in the 1920's out of the Ottoman Empire. I can see argument for their indepdence but also arguments for an autonomous region within those governments. The justifications for indepdence is that they are a persecuted ethnic minority group that historically weren't controlled by that government. The argument for remaining part of those countries (but some autonomy) is that it can set precedent for so many other conflicts around the world. Considering how terrible they are or were treated, I lean on support for indepdence but under the same conditions mentioned by the professor at the end -- giving a level of autonomy to the ethnically Serbian region of Kosovo.

  3441. 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.

  3443. Belarus won’t invade. It mentioned in the video why - Belarus doesn’t have that many soldiers and the dictator needs those soldiers at home to keep his power. If they leave to fight in Ukraine, not only are the soldiers tied up fighting but the people will have an even bigger reason to over throw the dictator.

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?

  3462.  @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.

  3463. @smallsthemany Yes, but you are also ignoring lots of problems. Unions often make hiring new workers more difficult or fire terrible workers. They often make it harder for businesses to make changes and adapt to a changing environment. It seems US unions just go a bit too far many times in their demands. I support 80% of what they do but that extra 20% really turn me off on unions

  3464. And if they only cared about their economy, why are threatening to invade Taiwan? Why are they trying to steal the South China Sea? Why are they attacking India in the border? Why did they make an anti west friendship pact with Putin to go after the west? These all sound terrible for the economy of China. That’s probably why Chinas economic growth is dropping fast and China is now expected to never get anywhere near the gdp per capita of Japan or South Korea or Taiwan…let alone even get to 1/4 of the US gdp per capita.

Europe most certainly cares and I would say they started caring the 80’s. At the very least they care just because they understand the history of Europe in Africa and have guilt much like some white people in the US have a guilt about what their ancestors did to black people in terms of slavery then segregation.

China saw big growth in some part because their ability to just force people to support what they are doing and suffer if they are left out or benefit if they are in the in-group. But They are now seeing major problems because they didn't change course because autocrats have trouble with that. They took far too long to get rid of the one child policy, far too long to stop zero covid, far too long to address the pyramid scheme housing market, etc.

  3489.  kwokwai So  the experts looked at his uniform, pictures he had, and documents he had. His stories and details also added up what the experts could corroborate. This wasn’t just CNN, he was verified by many different experts from different organizations and he has testified in the courts as well.
    2
  3490.  kwokwai So  you say “you just can’t take someone’s word”. Are you saying we can take as part of the total evidence any eye witness accounts?
    2
  3491.  kwokwai So  he testified in the international tribunal courts. He’s also spoken to many other publications who have their own experts. Are you just telling me that you will not accept any evidence unless the criminal china itself publicly admits guilt? And you’re saying is you will also not accept any testimonies from Uyghurs themselves?
    2
  3492.  kwokwai So  “we can’t prove where he’s telling the truth “. Literally how this works — it’s just one piece of all the evidence I described. You’re basically arguing you won’t accept anything unless the criminal admits it publicly. But before we go on, tell me why you weren’t honest about the UN visit to Xinjiang? It proves you have no care for facts
    2
  3493.  kwokwai So  I’ll help you out on what Michelle Bachelet of UN said: “Michelle Bachelet has said wasn’t able to speak to any detained Uyghurs or their families during her controversial visit to Xinjiang, and was accompanied by government officials while in the region.” So no investigation and was alway followed by government officials
    2
  3494.  kwokwai So  there’s more: “The UN human rights chief, who this week announced she would not be seeking another term, told a session of the 50th Human Rights Council in Geneva that there were limitations on her visit to the region in China” “I was not able to speak to any Uyghurs currently detained or their families during the visit”
    2
  3495.  kwokwai So  and Michelle literally says it was not an investigation: - Speaking at the end of her trip while still inside China, Bachelet framed her visit as a chance for her to speak with "candour" to Chinese authorities as well as civil society groups and academics. - "This visit was not an investigation," she told reporters
    2
  3496.  kwokwai So  you just proved my point that you were extremely dishonest about UN visit to Xinjiang. Why did you do that?
    2
  3497.  kwokwai So  obviously you work for Chinese government after that terribly argument but why state obvious false information? You just gave away you don’t care for facts. And yes, international courts aren’t necessarily the best because the accused will prevent any fair trial. But you brought up UN and pretended it was an investigation when it was not. So why did you do that?
    2
  3498.  kwokwai So  if you want to change the subject about the Middle East, then it’s fair to say you lost that argument. But I look at the evidence of the Middle East regardless the ICC investigates. Unlike you, I don’t deny that Bush or anyone on the US is preventing any trial. Nice try with your attempt at “gotcha”. I’m allowed to say negative this about my country and government but you aren’t

  3499.  kwokwai So  but hey, if michelle did do any investigation, why didn’t she release her notes about the interviews with the inmates? Oh, because she wasn’t allowed to meet with them.

  3500.  kwokwai So  yes, maybe you’re wrong about everything? For you To suggest china is innocent when the UN human rights chief believes they are not.

  3501.  kwokwai So  funny how you and Sol were in both of these random videos about China and found me in both. Not a coincidence.
    2
  3502.  kwokwai So  what tribunal?
    2
  3503.  kwokwai So  trolling is what someone does when they refuse all evidence and get paid to to defend China

  3523.  @tawandamachona4481  wow, typical wumao can’t even acknowledge that China has concentration camps as part of a genocide. Why can’t you acknowledge it? It’s highly relevant since the video pointed out that most of the countries defending Chinas concentration camps were from Africa. But a wumao (CCP shill) like you isn’t allowed to acknowledge the concentration camps.

    2
  3527.  @felixluna6992  It doesn't matter what Choni is short for. It was a clear attempt to copy Taco John's name. He could be selling different style tacos, the point is Taco John's has a case against him because it does sound close to the same and the intent is there. He had the option to go with "Chon's Taco" or "Taqueria Chon" or "Los tacos de Chon" but he specifically went with "Taco Chon" to copy taco john's. anyone who isn't just trying to root for the little guy can see this. How would he not be aware of "Taco John's" if they are popular in the region?
    2
  3528.  @punk105  "Chon and John" being different doesn't change the fact they are similar. It was a clear attempt to copy Taco John's name.

  3532.  @ykokog1813  "say that only Korean nationalism and political judgment are the cause of the conflict." Good thing I didn't say that. I even acknowledged the mistakes some Japanese officials have made. What I have argued is that South Korea is using this as a political football and therefore never really going to accept an apology as long as they using it as a political football. "For Korea, Japan is a military alliance connected through the United States, but it is perceived as a potential threat" That would be an unfounded threat. >and that there is only a history of military dismal with Japan for five centuries. France, Germany and UK fought so many wars with each other and France/UK fought two horrible wars in the 20th century...yet a few decades later, they were all close friends. And France and UK have been close friends (with ups and downs) since Napoleon was removed. >here is a worship facility called The Seven Men's Cemetery A facility with almost no trace of it online? seems like it's not a popular thing and just a few random people even visit it let alone worship it. The google reviews even mention how hard it is to get to. One review said "I'm surprised so many people don't know about it. Originally, I think that it is a history and a place that should be taught in schools. In order not to repeat the sad history." So it's not a well known facility. Another said "The road to get there was bad and unmaintained. I finally got to the toll road and managed to run normally." So it's in a very remote area with rough roads. If you're going to refuse to accept Japan's apologies because of small sort of hidden burial site of war criminals hanged exist at all then you are just looking for reasons to not accept Japan's apologies.

  3534.  @InferKnow  Hungary and Turkey are both necessary allies but also very problematic to the west and especially Europe. Erdogan if left unchecked and if he were not trying to stay at least somewhat allied with EU and NATO, could become a Putin. Hungary's president wishes to be Putin and knows how hard it is to kick Hungary out of the EU and NATO so they are abusing Europe. I don't know what the future holds but due to the difficult nation of removing someone from EU and NATO and due to the strategic importance of Turkey geographical location, I see the EU and NATO and the west still being allied with Turkey and Hungary for the foreseeable future.
    2
  3535.  @InferKnow  I think being part of NATO and EU is the only reason Hungary and Turkey don’t go full bad dictator like Putin. They have too much to lose if they do that. At the same time, they are going to be problematic for Europe and NATO. Heck, Poland is an issue with EU too and the only reason Hungary is allowed to be so bad because Poland protects Hungary and Hungary protects Poland. Considering how different Poland and Hungary are with Russia (Orban is a friend of Putin), that will allow be an interesting relationship to see how it goes in the future

  3536. So do the people of England still call the 'English Muffins" just muffins or do they need to specify it at times with the rise of US style muffins? And yeah, I never thought about it but US style muffins are indeed cupcakes without icing. In the US, saying muffins by itself with no other context means US style. All other types need to be specified such as "English Muffins". >A crumpet is a totally different style of bread. If you haven't tried one, you're missing out! We have them in the US. Not as popular as English Muffins though but you can find them in some stores. They are often confused with english muffins.

  3538.  @KittenCritters  of course they don’t measure tons of stuff in a short a video but the research discusses it. And on the part where OP is trying y to say that private schools are just turning down problematic schools, that appears to be false as a broad statement.
    2
  3539.  @Hfil66  "To say that the voucher is valid for any school does not mean the school cannot deny the student." Except they cannot deny the student. If a voucher is valid anywhere, then that 'free school' (private school) is not denying students based on whatever reasons you made up.

The problem is that a large minority in the leftist wing of Mexico are loud on their anti west / US opinions while the rest of the leftist are pro west but quiet so a leftist president will always at least talk anti west/US.

Europe shouldn't get involved in other parts of the world but the world should get involved with Europe. Well, the other major issue is that he basically gave Xi a tool to use to get support by saying Europe should stay out and it's not anyone's business to get involved in other countries' affairs.

  3555.  @felchap1205  https://revista.drclas.harvard.edu/book/chile-lonely-success-story FTA: It should be remembered that Chile was a pioneer in Latin America’s experiment with radical market reforms. Indeed, General Augusto Pinochet’s September 1973 coup against the democratically elected government of Dr. Salvador Allende and the subsequent military regime that lasted until 1989 had as a consequence the demise of the old development model based on the state’s active interventions in the economy. Instead, the dictatorship favored market mechanisms and private competition as the key agents of capital formation and production decisions. The economic rationale for such change, independently of its political motivation, was clear. The state’s intervention in the economy was perceived as a fundamental distortion in the allocation of resources, thus provoking high indebtedness and inflation. Applying this new strategy, by the mid 1970s, Chile began to undertake key reforms: eliminating import controls, unilaterally bringing down import tariffs to a common level of 10%, opening financial markets to foreign competition, reducing the public sector and eliminating many government controls on economic activity that had become standard practice. In 1976 Chile withdrew from the Andean pact, at the time a regional organization was marked by protectionism and its adverse view of foreign direct investment (FDI). But the results of this first attempt at macroeconomic reform were far from favorable. Crucial errors in financial liberalization in the absence of adequate bank regulation coupled with a fall in the international price of copper and a sudden halt in foreign lending. The Chilean economy was pushed to an acute crisis in 1982-83, leading to the bankruptcy of the private banking sector and its nationalization. The authorities responded by implementing a conventional economic stabilization package to control inflation, relying more on a flexible exchange rate and a rise in import tariffs to face foreign sector disequilibria. The process of structural reforms lost impetus for some time. However, in 1985, structural reforms once again began to be profoundly implemented. Trade liberalization was again pushed forward, independence was awarded to the Central Bank, a new regulatory framework for the banking sector was adopted and privatization of public enterprises was accelerated.

  3556.  @felchap1205  long story short, you need educate yourself on Chile’s economic history or stop being dishonest. Seems like you Cherry pick the bad parts under Pinochet but will refuse to acknowledge the fact that reforms did eventually lead to Chile going from poor country to among richest in Latin America. These are the facts: 1. Chile was poor and an economic mess pre 1974. 2. Chile’s problem was too much state control in the economy. Almost all economic experts agree that Chile needed to reduce the state. 3. Pinochet reduced the state in the economy but often when going from a near socialist economy to liberalized economy, many jobs are lost and Chile suffered until about 1983. 4. After 1983, Chile became a miracle economy in large part because Pinochet’s policies liberalized the economy and took so much of the government out of the economy. 5. While Chile was among the poorest in Latin America before 1974, it would be among the wealthiest by 2000 and arguably the wealthiest today

  3557.  @felchap1205  oh look, what dishonest person! You couldn’t even answer the question on whether or not the success after 1983 would have occurred without the major reforms that happened 1975-1983. Why won’t you answer that?
    2
  3558.  @felchap1205  i know you are too dishonest to answer whether or not those economic reforms under Pinochet were a big factor in the success after 1983, but you can see from the gdp per capita data that from 1983 and onward, the economy was hot and became better than it ever was. You will refuse to acknowledge that it has anything to do with the reforms but economist disagree with you and they would call you ignorant if you claim the reforms weren’t a large part of Chile’s success. So, are you ignorant or will you answer the question? https://tradingeconomics.com/chile/gdp-per-capita

  3559.  @felchap1205  “I agree that economic liberalization was needed” and yet you ignore that most of that occurred 1975-1983. That’s when the government privatized what was then a VERY state involved economy. How can you be this dishonest to argue that it wasn’t a major factor in Chile’s strong economic growth post 1983? As a country moves up in the economy, that’s when they have money to spend on the people but in almost all the examples of poor nations having strong economic growth to raise them out of poverty, the focus was on reforms and less on direct spending on individuals. China saw massive growth with their pro market reforms and along the way they did little for workers rights, healthcare for the people, etc. Their focus was on the economy. Same for Vietnam. To a lesser extent, South Korea did the same. It’s when they move up in wealthiness that they start investing more directly in its people. I do agree the 1990’s Chile policies improved on the existing economy but the foundation of that economy was reforms made under Pinochet. Without those reforms, you don’t have that foundation to build from and Chile would be stuck in the far left economic policies of the past that kept it in poverty. And you are extremely dishonest when you cannot admit that the economic reforms under Pinochet were a major contributor to the 1990’s and 2000’s success of Chile.

  3560.  @felchap1205  below describes how the Chicago boys policies remained largely intact in the 90’s and after, demonstrating they were the foundation for growth even as the 90’s policies improved on what the Chicago boys have done https://slate.com/business/2016/01/in-chicago-boys-the-story-of-chilean-economists-who-studied-in-america-and-then-remade-their-country.html - Their program centered on reductions to fiscal spending to solve high inflation and economic difficulties. They opened the economy to foreign imports, privatized dozens of state companies, and removed most government controls on private economic activity. - - Pinochet stepped down in 1990 after his government was overwhelming rejected by the Chilean people in a constitutional referendum. But in the years since, the economic system implemented by the Chicago Boys has mostly remained in place. Democratic governments after Pinochet have maintained their politics mostly intact and only in recent years, particularly during Socialist Party President Michelle Bachelet’s second term, have some steps been taken to reform labor rights, pensions, and the health and education systems, as well as implement for financial regulations.

  3561.  @felchap1205  lol, I literally provided you sources demonstrating that the foundation of the economy was created by the reforms under Pinochet but you’re a dishonest POS who refuses to acknowledge even that basic fact. Go ahead and explain what 1990’s policies were so different that lead to the growth in the 90’s and go ahead and explain how 1990’s economy was very much like Allende and before economy?

  3562.  @felchap1205  so your dishonest argument is that the reforms under Pinochet had little impact on the 90’s economy. That would suggest that the 1990’s economy was Similar to pre 1974. If it isn’t similar, then that means there were major reforms between 1974 and 1990 that created the foundation.

And the creation of the Palestinian National Authority came about as a result of the Oslo Accords. It basically resulted in Palestinians being able to have some level of self-governance in the west bank. I don't know how you think that's on par with Saudi Arabia - Iran agreement.

  3580.  @ThisNovember  "Recognition means nothing" Some would say that that recognition by the power that occupies or controls your land and a setting up a government that gives partial self governance is much more meaningful than two countries that aren't occupied and already have governments to agree to talk with each other. If the US agreed to talk with Iran tomorrow, it still wouldn't be on par with the Oslo Accords. Also, the Iran-KSA agreement didn't mention that Saudi Arabia would end the war. It discussed, if I remember correctly, Iran not providing arms to Houthis.

  3589. 11 months later and 9 months after the invasion (it’s Dec 2022 as I write this). Interesting to hear what was commonly believed by geopolitical experts. It appears the sanctions against Russia where much more severe than originally thought nearly a year ago. The Russian army turned out to ineffective with serious logistical issues and low moral. Ukraine army turned out to be much better than thought helped in large part with some powerful western weapons which have become increasingly more powerful — HIMARS in the summer was a game changer and now Ukraine will get the Patriot missile defense to protect its cities. The war is now slowly moving but Russia is losing little by little at this point and not sure they can turn it around. The best hope for Russia is to drag this war out as long as possible and hope the west caves and forces Ukraine to negotiate with Russia but given how Russian troops have low moral, high casualties, and lacking supplies — it’s likely Ukraine will keep on fighting and if they cut Russian occupied territory in half with what appears to be their latest move going through the center, it’s very possible the western part of Russian occupied Ukraine will be tough to hold on to for long. I see this war this going back to 2021 borders in the too long future. Will Ukraine keep fighting beyond that to take Donbas and Crimea? Seems like Crimea might be east to take if they cut Russians occupied lands in half but Donbas might end up being part of a negotiation.
    2
  3590.  @JamesKerLindsay  I appreciate the feedback and you make some great points. In regards to going back to 2021 borders I was mostly speaking about the military difficulties of Ukraine taking Donbas back. If Ukraine splits the Russian occupied lands in half, they can easily take the western half including Crimea. however the Donbas bordering Russia would be easy to keep supplying, and Putin will have no problems throwing as many bodies as he needs to defend the eastern part of the territory. Ukraine will have to take and absurdly amount of casualties to take the Donbas or they will need to fight a very long several year war in the east. The latter might be determined by whether the west will continue to supply Ukraine for three or four or five more years. Will the west continue to provide such support for that long? Well, you Made a point I never thought of which would suggest the west will help so long as Ukraine is wanting support….many now that the integrity of the international system relies on defeating his land grab. A land grab we haven’t seen since maybe 1991 Iraq invasion of Kuwait and that was for a much smaller land. Plus the severe level of the war crimes just gives even more motivation for the west to keep up the support. With the ever increasing weapons that Ukraine is receiving (18 more HIMARS approved, Patriot missile defense system, and likely some new weapons not yet made available to Ukraine), Russia being isolated and seeing negative annual gdp growth for the foreseeable future, europe decoupling from Russia, and low troop morale for Russia but high troop morale for Ukraine, it seems that Russia can be driven out of Ukraine so long as the western support for Ukraine holds. And I thought this war would be over in a week after it started.

  3591.  @theotherohlourdespadua1131  June 22, 1965: Minister of Foreign Affairs Shiina Etsusaburo said to the people of South Korea: "In our two countries' long history there have been unfortunate times, it is truly regrettable and we are deeply remorseful" (Signing of the Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and South Korea). August 26, 1982: Chief Cabinet Secretary Kiichi Miyazawa said to the people of the Republic of Korea: "1. The Japanese Government and the Japanese people are deeply aware of the fact that acts by our country in the past caused tremendous suffering and damage to the peoples of Asian countries, including the Republic of Korea (ROK) and China, and have followed the path of a pacifist state with remorse and determination that such acts must never be repeated. Japan has recognized, in the Japan-ROK Joint Communique, of 1965, that the 'past relations are regrettable, and Japan feels deep remorse,' and in the Japan-China Joint Communique, that Japan is 'keenly conscious of the responsibility for the serious damage that Japan caused in the past to the Chinese people through war and deeply reproaches itself.' These statements confirm Japan's remorse and determination which I stated above and this recognition has not changed at all to this day. 2. This spirit in the Japan-ROK Joint Communique, and the Japan-China Joint Communique, naturally should also be respected in Japan's school education and textbook authorization. 1989: Prime Minister Takeshita Noboru, in a speech in the Japanese Diet, said: "As we have made clear previously at repeated opportunities, the Japanese government and the Japanese people are deeply conscious of the fact that the actions of our country in the past caused suffering and loss to many people in neighboring countries. Starting from our regret and resolve not to repeat such things a second time, we have followed a course as a "Peace Nation" since then. This awareness and regret should be emphasized especially in the relationship between our countries and the Korean Peninsula, our nearest neighbors both geographically and historically. At this opportunity, as we face a new situation in the Korean Peninsula, again, to all peoples of the globe, concerning the relationship of the past, we want to express our deep regret and sorrow"

  3617. And China has massively lied about their gdp in order to use that to control the people. The study referenced here and in the money and Marko (whatever the other Channel is) used LIGHT “pollution” to determine approximate gdp. It held up really well across multiple peer reviews.

  3618. So many issues with this video. First, the US isn’t the only supplier of weapons and aid to Ukraine. Europe has provided just as much as the US yet no mention of European aid. Second, for months already Ukraine has been shooting down drones with the German-made Gepard system, a vehicle that can send dual streams of 35mm rounds ripping into the sky to hit the drones. They are not using $100,000 missiles. Third, the video doesn’t seem to describe the consequences of all the actions mentioned that Russia is undertaking. The video suggest that Russia could put up with even 10:1 (10 Russian losses to 1 Ukrainian loss) ratio of losses for a long time. Each round of mobilization will make the war less popular In Russia. You cannot use WW2 as an example of how much Russia is willing to lose in terms of people’s lives because WW2 they were fighting to preserve the existence of the country – so Ukraine today would be a better comparison to Russia in WW2. In addition, the video mentions that mobilization of the poor, minorities, and disenfranchised communities wouldn’t pose big problems for the Kremlin. But it will, certainly for the minority regions where approval for Moscow is lower than the rest of the country. This could lead to potential revolts.

  3621.  @anabona4764  ", lived a half of my life in the USSR, and know it history better." So you were subject to only state controlled media. That makes a lot of sense.

  3622.  @swissfreek yup! Company I worked for did 90% of business in agricultural and construction equipment. I’m actually surprised there aren’t more major players doing both in high volumes. The insides (cabins) look very similar with similar equipment inside them. The major differences are the attachments but often those still have lots of similarities that it shouldn’t be a problem for one manufacturer to jump from one to the other industry. I’m guessing it’s mostly a history of marketing and name recognition in those industries that is a barrier to some from jumping to the other industry

It’s not meant to say 10 million could be moved today but that if they had done proper planing over the past 50’years, there could be 10 million fewer in Mexico City metro. Are you part of that uneducated mass coming here to defend Mexico City for its horrible management? Mexico City proper still added over 1.5 million in the past 10 years. They really should already be taken steps to stop the population growth but you people here are worthless and just complain “nah, can’t be done” despite many other cities/countries having done it

  3633.  @pulykamell  I always find it funny how different words can be for the same food. Eggplant has like 3 names -- one of them from England and many of its colonies and then India / south asia have a different name. Cilantro is an interesting one. Officially in English it's coriader" and probably. In North America, since they didn't eat much coriander historically, it became popular from Mexican cuisine which they call it cilantro in Spanish. Though cilantro is specifically coriander leaves...the powder or ground from is still called coriander in North America. Not cilantro is very popular in the US because along with Mexican food, it's popular in Indian foods and Chinese & SE Asian foods -- all of these became very popular in the past 20 or so years.

There also was Thousands of people across France came to the streets in October 2022, launching a statewide strike against the rise in the cost of living. And aso, The 2021 French labor protests were a series of protests and strikes organized by the General Confederation of Labour (France) (CGT), other trade unions, and French citizens dissatisfied with the country's economic and employment conditions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. These were followed by protests against proposed laws that would give greater powers to police On 23 January, workers from CGT and other worker unions, as well as workers at companies including Sanofi, Cargill, SKF, and General Electric, protested against layoffs 1 May 2022, Thousands of people joined May Day marches across France, calling for salary increases and for Macron to drop his plan to raise the retirement age. The list goes on.

"What i'm saying is that you don't know much about France to only be able to enunciate cliches" I gave facts. Are you saying France has an economy as strong as Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria? They don't. So explain to me why that is? "most strikes and protests are not about transportation alone. " I know. THAT IS LITERALLY MY POINT. I've said that the french protest or strike about anything. That's not good for businesses....hence, one major reason why France lags behind all those countries I mentioned.

  3640.  @jeantaciturne81  So theres currently strikes and protest again. What a shock! It's almost like I was right!! ", we just don’t let the rich walk on ourselves like poor americans do" I didn't know Germans, Dutch, Swedes, Swiss, etc are also American.

  3644. 15:30 you mention how any depiction of China often comes to comments that aren’t relevant and are criticism of the government. You mention that can be difficult for Chinese to see often. The issue is complicated. You have a terrible government that many people outside of China dislike. That government often creates propaganda videos that might not even appear to be government backed (many westerners in China repeating CCP talking points and appear to be paid by government) so many positive videos of China will often be seen as potentially CCP backed content leading to anti CCP comments even if the topic isn’t about the government. Then you have many CCP paid individuals who’s job is to spread propaganda in comments adding even more distrust to any content about China. But sometimes these videos are indeed perfectly innocent and a Chinese person coming across that content and seeing the comments will be turned off. They may even lash out at those marking the irrelevant comments in order to defend their culture but not the government. Those leaving anti CCP comments might then see this Chinese person who is only defending their culture as part of the CCP network. It’s an ugly circle.

  3645. @legomanwanter 1. I think there was a small discussion on that in the video but yeah, it mostly glossed over 2. I agree with most of what you say but maybe not "once there, it's pretty easy to move around.".

  3650.  @bungalowjuice7225  people make the worst arguments to defend their wrong opinions because the truth is they know they are wrong but don’t want to admit the real reason they hold a certain opinion. I like to use the following as a perfect example of it. A lot of anti gay people say homosexuality is a choice because it makes it easier to call it a sin. I always turn it around on them (im straight man) and say “you are choosing to be straight? So you are attracted to men and you have to choose not to act on it? Because I’m for sure not attracted to men.” They always have trouble responding after that.

I don't mean he's barely moving but he's not moving at all that's why his feet stay in the same place. Also, there was a time jump from the moment the guy falls to the time the neighbor arrives. No idea how much time went by but he likely bled out in that time.

  3671.  @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.

  3673. Great clarification. It’s not adjusted to cost of living but rather a direct USD conversion and includes all the overhead costs of labor. I don’t know about Switzerland but in the US I often see estimates that total labor costs per hour is 2x the wages of the worker
    2
  3674.  @nunyabidness3075 why would you say that? I work in manufacturing and it’s easy to tell how much the total costs is. We know the taxes that must be paid by the company, the healthcare costs, the benefits, etc. you take the total wages and add those extra costs and divide by the hours worked.

  3680. 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.
    2
  3681.  @_Ben___  what other perspectives were his 4 other videos? None of them say collapse but all including this one say China is big economic trouble moving forward.
    2
  3682.  @rodiculous9464  Laowhy and serpentea use clickbait titles but stick to the truth or they make an opinion and back it up with facts. Laowhy basically said what this video says — economic troubles ahead but the party has too much control of the people for any collapse soon. I think either Laowhy or Serpentza had said the party might lose power but not anytime soon.

  3688.  @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

    2
  3696.  @J_X999  I don’t care about Japan in this context. I’m simply pointing out that if AI were that good, other countries and especially those with demographic issues AND high wages would be on it as soon as AI was the solution you describe. I brought up Chinas declining GDP growth to demonstrate that AI isn’t remotely close to the solution you describe
    2
  3697.  @drumpfdon760  uh, what does the fact that Taiwanese and HKers originally being Han Chinese mean that oppression is okay? It’s like arguing that the UK can take back or oppress any country that has people of British descent
    2
  3698.  @drumpfdon760  you like the west Taiwan, right?
    2
  3699.  @J_X999  you might be overestimating AI? That’s an understatement. Maybe in the future it becomes that productive but if it becomes that productive I see japan and South Korea and other nations with much higher labor costs than China and with similar demographic issues all joining the AI path. I think you’re missing my main point — I’m saying growth is all relative. So while China can avoid the complete stagnation (0% gdp growth) that Japan saw (AI wasn’t viable in the 90’s), it will still see declining growth relative to other countries. For example, without AI china might have 2% gdp growth but with AI, it might 4%. But that 2% boost from AI will also be seen by japan and South Korea and whoever.
    2
  3700.  @drumpfdon760  Chinas gdp growth is in large part declining working age. The working age population peaked in 2014 and since then gdp growth has been declining. It’s also seen reduction in growth due to moving into middle income, housing crisis, debt crisis, and COVID lockdowns. This year will be the 2nd year in 3 years to have gdp growth under 4%. Countries are decouping from China so they are missing out on a lot of business that could have offset some of the other factors. It’s 3 year gdp growth 2020-2022 will be 4.6% annual gdp growth, far lower than the 6-7% it had in 2017-2019 and far lower than the 10%+ from 2000-2010.
    2
  3701.  @drumpfdon760  and if AI was that great, Chinas growth wouldn’t be slowing down as much as it is now. And when AI, gets better, japan and South Korea and other countries with much higher labor rates and similar demographic issues will be more likely to maximize the use of AI. There is less incentives to use AI when you still have hundreds of millions of Chinese inland that are very poor and on par with Africa.

  3712.  @dfhwze  Seems like the US was right to not have NS2 as it would give RUS to much power. But RU did not have 'good relations with EU', RU just did business regarding gas with a few countries. There was certainly zero interest in RU being part of the EU as RU was and is too corrupt. Perhaps interest in the 90's and early 00's when the west believed RU might change but certainly not by late 00's.

  3715.  @LancesArmorStriking  "The primary reason I gave for the involvement in Ukraine is that he saw the writing on the wall with Libya." So that's why before 2011 he invaded Georgia? Why he had Alexander Litvinenko eliminated in the UK and many others throughout Europe because they were political opponents? Why he had Sergei Magnitsky arrested then eliminated for uncovering corruption in the government?
    2
  3716.  @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
  3717.  @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.

  3720.  @jiminauburn5073  Actually, that's now why they declared war on the day they did. They declared war EXACTLY 3 months after Germany surrendered so basically they waited until the very last day of the 3 months they were given. They probably had hoped Japan would have surrendered before the 3 month mark.

  3722. Adam great episode! You really should alternate podcast episodes between food related and serious matters. You’re take on serious and political matters is well thought out and very reasonable. I’m fact, every time you talk about non food topics I find I agree 99% of the time. It probably helps we are about the same age and both educated but you do not take extreme positions but rather one of more careful thought. Not ideological where everything has to fit the left or fight the right. You could really branch into this type of content in the future if you ever get tired of just food content— which, can you really do 50-100 food videos a year for the next 5-10 years? Anyways, I look forward to hearing your take on other important topics while I keep watching all your food videos in my lame attempt to try to be a reasonable cook! (I don’t watch any baking videos — I’m never going bake because I would get fat).

  3727. Exactly. It's not the best video because it suggest there is no democracy solution to their problems. There is one indeed. But it requires a lot of work and it requires the powers in the west of Russia to give up some of their powers and wealth and have some of that political power and wealth spread to the east.

  3734.  @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.

  3735.  @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?
    2
  3736.  StuPlD Trumpism  wumao, why would I worry about China debt? I’m just pointing out it was bad planning. But let me guess — you also support china on its genocide and concentration camps?
    2
  3737.  @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.
    2
  3738.  @raymonlandry228  oh, and China isn’t that rich. It’s per capita gdp is close to Mexico.

  3739.  @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.
    2
  3740.  @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.
    2
  3741.  @skyisreallyhigh3333  wumao, why do you defend Chinas genocide and concentration camps of Uighurs?
    2
  3742.  @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
    2
  3743.  @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
  3744.  @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
  3745.  @tuesdaysgone2379  Wumao, do you believe everything China does is good? Or do you believe they make mistakes? For example, do you support their genocide and concentration camps of Uyghurs?
    2
  3746.  @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
  3747.  @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. That explains your shilling. Arguing that Japan has concentratoin camps but your fascist CCP doesn't. LOL. Why does China execute thousand per year?
    2
  3748.  @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
  3749.  @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
  3750.  @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.
    2
  3751. ​ @pepelepew1227  It's clear you are a wuamo who defends China on concentration camps and genocide so you believe China can't do anything bad.

  3752.  @sreejithsubhash7301  ""estimated" the debt to 700b" Video say $900 billion. "1 trillion debt is internal affairs and the money didn't leave their economy so no one cares." 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
  3753.  @VashtheStampede007  wumao, honk Kong is like Singapore, effectively running as a country. Well, that’s is until your CCP bosses came in and removed so much autonomy to oppress the people of Hong Kong. You are paid to defend china on Hong Kong and concentration camps/ genocide like you have defended them in other comments but that you make it too obvious you are a paid CCP shill
    2
  3754.  @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.
    2
  3755.  @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
  3756.  @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
  3757.  @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
  3758.  @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
  3759.  @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
  3760.  @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
  3761.  @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
  3762.  @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
  3763.  @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
  3764.  @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?

Also, numerous studies show higher gun ownerships and weaker gun laws are each associated with increase homicide rates. Do u care for facts?

  3788. “We had to (invade Ukraine) because Europe/West is coming for us”. Sounds a lot how Adolph H justified everything he did. Perhaps Russias own aggressive actions are why the west is worried about Russia and helping the countries that Russia invaded? Nah, it’s the west fault!

Things won't change for the reasons mentioned in this video -- congress has self-interest AND it would be hard to police any policy unless there is a blanket ban on all trade for congress which would seem a bit authoritarian. Raising awareness of each trade is certainly a step forward.

  3792. Ukraine is in danger of losing future military and financial aid if the gains will be just a few km each offensive. I think this analysis didn’t focus on much on “gains needed to keep funding from the west coming and to keep support for the war domestically”. Explaining just what the expectations should have been based on military situation is only part of it and IMO not as important as explaining what gains Ukraine actually does need to win the war. If this war will just be a few small km each year, Ukraine will lose support for continued financial and military aid from its allies.

  3794. @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.

  3798. This was a great episode! I caught it a few days ago on Nebula but there is no comment section there so I'm here to read comments. I did want to add that given the US and west sanctioned Russia with full force, a partial blockade of Taiwan by China will likely now be met with strong sanctions against China. In addition, the US and Japan and maybe others would have a navy also patrolling Taiwan's water so the partial blockade would be ineffective -- or else China will have to shoot at US and Japanese naval ships. But they don't want war with them.

  3801.  @daniela-r8l4b  yes, every country has poor people. Russia has a lot more than the US. Russia has gas and thus should be much wealthier but instead of being as rich as western Europeans they are similar to Brazil and Mexico. Why is Russia so poor given they have tremendous natural resources? Why such a low life expectancy?
    2
  3802.  @ALIHQG  you never said that but that’s what your argument suggest. I’m pointing out that MANY nations/countries have faced the same problem but they aren’t poor or troubled like Iraq today thus you pointing to raids occurring centuries ago isn’t relevant to Iraq’s position today. And in terms of Iraq’s positions centuries ago, the raiding they faced was common of most major powers.
    2
  3803.  @ALIHQG  it is a people problem even if you say it isn’t. Now, if your argument is that geographies shape people, that can also be true. But geographies don’t 100% shape the people — there is a lot more that goes on. The geography doesn’t change over time but the people do. It can be religion that changes the people, the leaders that change the culture and people, or many other factors. There is no geographic reason why Islam took over Iraq and not Christianity or Judaism or other religion. What happened was simply some guy in 600’s started a new religion and the people of that region preferred that religion over others. That guy decided to expand religion through force (like Christians did as well) and after his death, the next leaders lucked out that Roman Byzantine empire and Persian empire (who controlled Iraq) just fought a war lasting many years leaving both weak and the Islamic leaders (people) decided to expand into Iraq and conquered if easily because Persian leaders weakened their empire by fighting Roman’s for many years. Leaders and people helped create the situation where Islamic culture and religion would take over Iraq.
    2
  3804.  @ALIHQG  and I’m pointing out that such a problem exist in many many other countries that are doing much better than Iraq so when you said you can’t blame it on a “people problem”, I just described how it is in large part a people problem.

  3805.  @robertb6889  Germany, Russia and Austria were also 3 of the big 5 powers in 1700's and 1800's. Austria and Russia didn't begin to decline until after Poland was disappeared then in the 1900s Russia remerged as an expansionist power along with Germany.

He had the option to go with "Chon's Taco" or "Taqueria Chon" or "Los tacos de Chon" but he specifically went with "Taco Chon" to copy taco john's. anyone who isn't just trying to root for the little guy can see this. How would he not be aware of "Taco John's" if they are popular in the region?

  3815. From what I know of Colombia, I felt mentioning FARC was weakened by 2016 would have been very useful in the video. I have lots of Colombian friends as a Latino American and I’ve followed Colombia news loosely. I felt that in the 2000’s and after, FARC was not much in the news and kept hearing how Colombia was getting safer. What you mention now makes sense to me why FARC negotiated in 2016…seems they realized their future was going to keep declining and now was the best time to negotiate. And the government would rather make concessions now that aren’t extreme than keep fighting and maybe get totally victory but at a larger costs than the concessions they are making. As William Spaniel says, Lines on Maps. This video is 13 min of content with know few minutes of recent history so can’t have everything in it

  3816. That's why many firms already are moving out of China or have backup plans. Your going to see more and more western companies with footprints in China continue to look at other countries as options -- which is why many are turning to Vietnam, India and Mexico.

  3821. @agapp11able Other than the fact that at around 5 min mark it shows these people all going to the same place at the same time to a staged Xinjiang event and they are seen with their govt handlers? I'm 100% sure you support Russia just like China supports Russia.
    2
  3822. @agapp11able you admitted it by trying to point to Cï-à supposedly doing the same. Which was a horrible argument since I didn’t use cî-à source and you used a google own platform but you can’t critics the sea sea pee on platforms in PROC.

  3824. @agapp11able my logic? That you used sources directly from the sea sea pee who have been busted many times for staging vids ? But you think even though I didn’t use cî-á vids, It’s basically the same because the cî-à possibly per your vid does some manipulation?

    2
  3827. @agapp11able and I can tell when you admit you were wrong because you can’t argue against the evidence of the stáging so you then try to find something different but sort of related to defend yourself. Sea sea Pee caught stágîng many vids so you mention cīä and google but I never used çîà vids and goggle and YouTube still allow major criticism— which you posted. Lol

  3828. @agapp11able "LOL for the most part, yes." Then you would be able to be find it in media from mainland China. But you didn't? 25center!!

  3829. @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
  3830. @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.
    2
  3831. @agapp11able "Ah so you know what the video is about. " because you LITERALLY described it's a women in shangha and for SCMP complaining.

  3832. @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.

  3837.  @naglfar6305  Textile is super cheap and it only helps to get out from the poorest to a regular poor. To actually get into middle income, they need something more than textile. Tourism helps but it also doesn't get you to middle income. Maybe there is a higher value textile or tea market they can tap into. or manufacture of a specific industry where they can become the dominate force in that.

China imports a large amount of resources from Australia and also brings significant investment to Australia." China is so terrible that even talking about investigating covid (which China lied about for a while) leads China to cut off most trade. Real bully. "now this Asutralian government appears to be de-escalating the conflict" Certainly not going to be the bully China that everyone hates. Why do you think all of China's neighbors to the east hate China? Vietnma, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and even down to Australia and NZ??

When a former police of Xinjiang confirms they round up massive number of innocent muslims and most are tortured -- a story also confirmed not only by the Xinjiang police files but mass number of Uyhgurs, it means nothing? When there is evidence of 380+ camps, it means nothing?

  3866.  @jonson856  Also, European nationalist are very different than Russia, China, India, etc. They tend to be more focused just on keeping immigrants out. You don't see the same strength of nationalism when it comes to foreign policy unlike these other countries. I think you make a great point on why its like that. All those wars lead it to value peace and cooperation. The US (I'm from the US) is kind of in between. Not being so close to all those destructive wars of Europe, the US doesn't have that strong push that Europe got to value peace & cooperation as much as Europe. But being in the same western sphere, a big share of Americans do value that. On the right wing where the US nationalist are found, they are split between more libertarian views and nationalist opinions on foreign affairs. I'll be checking out those videos you mentioned.

"where humans in business push humans in government to pass laws, " Or, get this, regular people push and government also makes decisions on their own? The decisions for the US to create suburbs post WW2 was done mostly without business and Levitt & Sons were not pushing government, they responded to what the government was pushing.

  3873.  @文雯-o6o  In regards to Taiwan, so you agree the ROC did the vast majority of the fighting? I also know that people of China are (or were) taught that it was mostly the Chinese themselves with USSR 2nd in stopping Japan. When in reality over 2/3 of Japanese deaths were from the US. Not sure if that's what still is taught in schools. but 30+ year old people I know said that.

  3875.  @文雯-o6o  my ex is from China. About 4 years ago we were watching a world war 2 documentary on Netflix (8-10 episodes). About 3 or the episodes are on the pacific fighting and she was surprised how little she knew that the US was the main reason for defeat. She told me she had thought it was china first, Russia 2nd, and US was the 3rd best factor in japans defeat. She said they mostly focused on Russias very late entrance when the foreign country support came up and the atomic bomb at the end by the US. She didn’t realize how many American lives were lost and how most of japans losses were to the US.
    2
  3876.  @文雯-o6o  It wasn't just her but many other Chinese who told me somewhat similar stories. They all basically reduce the US importance to the two atomic bombs while they were much more aware of the USSR coming over in 1946 to fight Japan for a few weeks. Again, I'm talking about people who are in their 30's, mostly mid to late 30's. It's possible that they don't teach the same in more recent years.

  3877.  @mysterioanonymous3206  But Switzerland has put a lot less focus on defense over the years. It's not needed as much considering they are surrounded by allies who have no intention of ever invading Switzerland. "historically we've been surrounded by hostile nation". Yes, and proportionate to the era, Swiss spent a lot more defense during that time.

  3886.  @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?

  3887.  @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%.

  3897. The Us wouldn’t invade Canada over that. And China sphere or Russian sphere is to be worried. Russia just invaded a peaceful country that was no threat and China has supported Russia before and during the invasion. By your logic, the US should be invading every country that isn’t in the US sphere.

  3899. @Zaydan Alfariz you are right, overregulation in the US regarding transit contraction is a problem. whiteerdydude wants to believe that expanding a road is more expensive than building a new train line in a city/metro but the data shows it's much cheaper to expand the road. The US costs even for labor is more expensive than Europe in construction but adding the costs is the US over regulations on construction that add a lot of cost. Some of it is requiring lots of research on various possible problems with building a train line that will increase the costs. Some if it is the difficult of eminent domain in the US leaving many plans to have to go with tunnels/subways or go with elevated tracks. There are indeed less regulation on cars and construction of roads than trainlines. There's also the false argument of comparing building a new train line to building a new highway. No, new highways or roads are rarely the competition for a new train line. The roads are already built decades ago. The competition is expanding an existing road and this is often more easily because there is usually more space to the side of the highway to expand. I do wish that more US cities consider middle ground option -- either rapid bus transit or a tram (trolley/streetcar). The tram is more for in the city but a great way to connect some neighborhoods in the city to busy areas of the city. Rapid bus can be used the same as trams for local travel but can also be used to go into the suburbs. Many cities have some limited rapid bus from suburbs to city but should e expanded. It works by making one lane dedicated to the rapid bus. For local, it often requires removing parking on the street and only allowing the bus or cars that are turning. From suburbs to city, it usually requires one lane in the highway to be available only for the bus. Instead of building a new highway lane, they usually modify the shoulder to allow the rapid bus to use it. So it can go 55mph during rush hour the length of the highway route.

  3902.  @Meh-hr7gq  but the whole transgender thing is a matter of opinion and not disinformation you Trumper. Are you going to admit that there is a lot of disinformation from Trump and his supporters?
    2
  3903.  @Meh-hr7gq  I’m against transgender women in women sports but you created a lie that support is based on lies when it’s based on opinion. But certainly you can admit that Trump and Trump supporters spread lots of disinformation?
    2
  3904.  @Meh-hr7gq  stop being partisan and yet you refuse to acknowledge that Trump and his supporters are among the biggest disinformation spreaders. And Trump most certainly did obstruct Justice in the investigation and most certainly was caught in audio recording illegally coercing Zelensky to interfere in the US elections. So we have 100% evidence of Trump asking for a foreign nation to interfere in US elections but Trump never apologized for it.
    2
  3905.  @herohero-fw1vc  there was a lot of western news that was also criticizing the evidence or the war. So now imagine if all western evidence not only promoted the lies but banned all criticism of evidence or the war and that’s russia today.

  3906.  @Meh-hr7gq  they reported what Smollet said. So the media isn’t supposed to report what people say? And they must first wait until a case is over before they report on it? Bro, your a Trumper who supports Trump disinformation
    2
  3907.  @Meh-hr7gq  it is funny how you bring up a lot of stuff without evidence but you refuse to acknowledge that Trump and his supporters are a big source of this information. You refuse to acknowledge there is a recording of Trump coercing Ukrainian president to interfere in the US elections. You refuse to acknowledge that the 2020 elections were not rigged against Trump.

  3908.  @Meh-hr7gq  who threaten to withhold aid for Ukraine in return for interfering with elections? You mention Biden and Ukraine and aid but it’s Trump that did that.
    2
  3909.  @Meh-hr7gq  and Biden withholding aid until some corruption is fixed is the same as withholding aid in return for illegally interfering with an election?
    2
  3910.  @Meh-hr7gq  hey Trumper I don’t see any video that you posted. But you are arguing the withholding aid in return for fixing some corruption is the same as withholding aid in return for illegally interfering with an election.

  3914.  @Meh-hr7gq  your comments are disappearing but I notice you said snopes isn’t legit because it’s a liberal guy and his wife? Lol, so you can’t fact check snopes but instead you just list crazy reasons why it’s horrible

  3917.  @felipe-vibor  OMG, the typical Russian and CCP response -- "there is no such thing as perfect media so it's just the same if the government controls all media and all information!". Why do you think it's better when just one person or organization controls ALL information and media?
    2
  3918.  @Meh-hr7gq  " My answer is I read all of them and they are all propaganda. " So that means you don't know anything that is going on yet you seem to have opinions on politics and events? You just admitted you only look for information that fits your narrative, LOL!!
    2
  3919.  @Meh-hr7gq  " I listen to what the people that are being reported on actually say" So when the experts and the lawywers say there was no rigging in 2020, you agree with them, right?
    2
  3920.  @Meh-hr7gq  show you where you said you only listen to news or information that fits your narrative? You literally admitted it when you refused to provide any media sources you typical used and called all media horrible. Since you are getting news somewhere, the only logical conclusion is either you aren’t honest or you are just picking and choosing the information you want. Which is it?

  3936.  @davidxia327  where in the constitution does it say Taiwan belongs to PRC China? 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).

  3937.  @bielandreu929 but it’s not optimistic. It can happen and it can happen often. When you say “that’s optimistic” it sounds as if it’s suggesting it’s very rare.

  3938.  @LENZ5369  Those figures? You mention how much ONE safari might bring up, no mention of how many trophy hunting safaris there are per day or per week. Therefore it's not very relevant to say a trophy hunting safari can bring in 15k to just 1k for non-hunting safari without mentioning how many of each are happening. I went to safaris in Kenya and trophy hunting is illegal. I'm not sure how accurate it is but I looked up Tanzania and they generate something near or over $2 billion in total tourism spending from and $0.2 billion from trophy hunting so it's only 10% of total tourism. The trophy hunting figure was total spent while they were there so not just the fee for the hunt. "And as I already said; MORE people means MORE infrastructure; which means MORE destruction of natural habitat." Without reasons to monetize nature, they will not protect nature. That's how it is -- especially for poor countries. You must be some extreme ideological type that doesn't care how the real world actually operates.

Instead, they are alienating countries that represent half the world GDP (Europe, North America, Oceania, East Asia). Why? Because projecting power is how the party believes it can best keep power. Same reason Putin sent 200k troops into Ukraine.

  3988.  @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?

  3989.  @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.

  3992.  @crose7412  IIRC, there were a people group called prussians that were conquered by the Teutonic Knights. The Prussians either were eventually assimilated and/or driven out and slowly replaced by Germans. But as the Teutonic Knights started to lose lands to it's neighbors, to keep the 'country' existing they married into one of the noble families of the Holy Roman Roman Empire. That German House was bigger and basically it all became part of that house...who then renamed their Duchy (or Feudal lands) as "Prussia". It's basically like the Americans naming their country after the Navajo or some native group that was displaced by the American/English.

  3996. If Putin doesn’t attack Finland, it means Putin lied that a primary reason he invaded Ukraine is because he didn’t want NATO at his border. If one argues that Putin did indeed attack Ukraine because of NATO concerns but can’t attack Finland because the Ukraine invasion didn’t go well, well it just proves Putin already lost the war. The purpose was to prevent expansion of NATO but instead it led to further expansion and a more unified stronger NATO. It’s clear to me the reason to invade Ukraine was all about a land grab and wanting control of the former Soviet state because he wants to recreate the Russian empire

  3999.  @victormacdougall6395  you have the most ignorance I’ve seen on the topic. The fighters don’t agree with the Taliban just because they didn’t fight.

    2
  4000.  @victormacdougall6395  saying that the Taliban Believe in The Quran and others believe in the Quran so therefore Taliban has the support of most afghans is the dumbest thing I’ve read. You already agreed in your other comment that most of Afghanistan is tribal. Most of the country doesn’t want to be ruled by other tribes and the Taliban tribes are a minority of the people. Hey, let me guess…you’re ignorant to believe that most Indians supported the British empire since British empire controls India?!?
    2
  4001.  @victormacdougall6395  You: “sometimes that takes a lifetime. Sometimes it takes 6-7 lifetimes. What is your point?” You’re arguing that those who rule have majority approval which is pure ignorance and your way of defending the Taliban. You’re saying people will rise up against the Taliban if Taliban doesn’t have majority support. By your dumb logic, the British were extremely popular in Indian 19th century because British ruled and did so for 200 years. You clearly make these lies to suggest Taliban has majority support since you support them.

Well, Saudi are becoming closer friends to China as the US has taken action against Saudis on a few issues, mostly the killing of the reporter. The US relationship with Saudis isn't even a direct benefit relationship -- the US doesn't do much trade with Saudis. It's more about the US wanting to keep global economy going well and knows Saudi Arabia has the power to disrupt the global economy. This benefits everyone, not just the US. The other more recent factor is to offset Iran's influence in the region. Again, this is not a direct benefit to the US as the US is not located near the region.

  4011. Not gonna lie, this was one of the worst episodes so far. Too many assumptions, too over the top in those assumptions, no sources, etc. it felt like click bait title but in video form.

  4012.  @SergioR00  to me it wasn’t that there flat out wrong things said, it their interpretation and the assumptions they make that were often bad. It seems like they are making more and more content that is overly dramatic and making big assumptions. I saw the video a couple days ago on nebula so trying to remember but the demographic argument was way over blown. Sure, South Korea does have low birth rates and faces a future demographic crisis but that doesn’t mean SK is getting weaker. SK is getting better and better weapons and forming stronger relationships with US and even japan. So whatever weakness arises from the demographic crisis is more than offset with building stronger alliances and spending more on defense. Plus, none of that matters because South Korea has Allies with nukes and SK has massive conventional weapons that could wipe out much of North Koreas population. Any nuclear use or even invasion of South Korea will be done be a leader they went completely crazy/mad and that leader would have done that regardless of South Koreas demographic situation

  4013.  @Owlr4ider  Russia invading Ukraine does not mean Russia will be destroyed in nukes. So how is that war relevant to Kim destroying his own country?
    2
  4014.  @Owlr4ider  " I mean the whole " world police" model is framed and designed from the original British colony model." And then you refuse to clarify you terrible argument. You do agree that Russia invading Ukraine isn't going to lead to Russia being nuked, right? And the video talks about how North Korea would potentially use nukes which would indeed result in North Korea being destroyed in retaliation. So I ask again, how is is Russia invading Ukraine relevant to Kim destroying his own country? The point is that Putin did make a huge mistake that will likely hurt his country but it's not the same mistake as Kim destroying his own country and therefore you can't say "Kim will use nukes because Putin invaded Ukraine".
    2
  4015.  @juniper9836  This video was anything but American propaganda. And this channel is anything but American propaganda -- it's often very critical of the west or US. So I don't believe you're American.
    2
  4016.  @Owlr4ider  Notice you won't say that Russia invading Ukraine isn't going to lead to Russia being nuked? Seems like that destroyed your whole argument about trying to compare Russia's invasion of Ukraine to Kim starting a nuclear war. " My point when comparing Putin to Kim was that irrational leaders tend to do irrational things." But Russia's invasion is not the irrational thing that would lead to Russia being destroyed unlike what you and RLL describe about NK.
    2
  4017.  @Owlr4ider  " ​ I don't understand what you're trying to argue. That South Korea becoming a stronger military power somehow makes it more important for the US to not abandon when they need US assistance most" No, I'm saying that the South Korea is not only forming STRONGER alliances with other nations effectively creating an Asian NATO of sorts and that South Korea is also building up their own military -- thus the video was wrong to suggest South korea is getting weaker or will be getting weaker. This isn't hard to understand so why are you struggling with it? You just want to defend RLL? Again, how does a country that is forming stronger alliances and building up their mlitary as well lead to that country becoming weaker and thus more susceptible to an attack by NK?

  4018.  @Owlr4ider  "What does the British colony model have to do with the US' 'world police' role? " You brought up the world police and British colony model

  4019.  @hogscattle7877  I think my biggest problem with the video, specifically the narrator, is the tone used with each assumption. It comes off as fear mongering IMO. I've seen other videos mention similar things about North Korea but it was a lot less fear mongering and more straight forward.

  4027.  @KevinFields777  You riase some good points but I don't think " 20 years down the road it's likely that China is the dominant," is correct. We don't know. We do know China beneifted heavily from WTO. But you're overall point that one factor was to push China in the right direction. But what OP said was also correct though I think misleading. US and many WTO member states wanted China in the WTO in part with hope it would push China to improve on human rights. This was a common belief at the time that did have some success stories. What we have found out since then is that such hope on human rights reforms doesn't work on two types. One are the natural resource rich countries that can just find buyers in the global market. If country A doesn't want to buy oil or gas, they can sell it to country B at roughly the same price. Think Russia, Saudi Arabia and other oil states. The other type is the country with a large domestic market that is less dependent on other countries for resources and who's large domestic market is a bargaining chip they can use against those trying to get them to reform. Think China and increasingly India.

  4029.  @SomeoneFromBeijing  Japanese constitution literally allows them to defend their territory and thus their claim means they are justified to use the navy to take all their claimed territory. Maybe read a bit into it Additionally, though it isn’t 100% certain but is what Japanese government has argued, they could use their military to help defend Taiwan because Japanese govt claims an attâck on Taiwan is a danger to Japan’s security 🇨🇳 does a lot of things that go against their constitution by finding ways around it. Isn’t there freedom of speech and press in the 🇨🇳 constitution?

  4030. I love this channel. Recently discovered it. However, the nearly daily episode make it hard to keep up and FOMO (fear of missing out) makes it less enjoyable and in the long run might push me and others to find another source that provides a summary of the week or month in China. Perhaps a twice a week schedule or a weekly summary of all the Episodes would help.

  4037. This was so soon after the destruction that William Spaniel may have been in on it!! In all seriousness, a major counter offense in that region was never going to happen this summer IMO but it does give the ability for Russia to take more troops out of there and send them elsewhere. I expect to see more attacks within Russia to counter this and keep spreading Russian forces.

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.

At 21 it can improve but it’s not as bad as you say and you are incorrect to suggest demographics isn’t the biggest issue

  4053.  @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
  4054.  @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
  4055.  @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
  4056.  @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.

  4057.  @w.lyunen991  wumao, you blamed the cia for Tiananmen Square massacre.

  4058.  @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
  4059.  @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
  4060.  @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.

  4066.  @YourMajesty143  the video said energy wasn’t a supplemental reason — it said they believe the main cause is indeed the energy aspect. Did YOU watch the video? Or you just want play the Russian troll here? Also, NATO would never invade or attack Russia first. They just proved that by not helping Ukraine fight off the invading Russians. But we know that Russia will invade peaceful Allies of NATO and therefore Russia is the one that is a threat. By Russias logic which you might be supporting, NATO would be okay to invade Belarus since Belarus allowed Russia to use their country as part of the invasion. Would you defend NATO if they invade Belarus?
    2
  4067.  @YourMajesty143  “Putin is incredibly predictable” and yet almost all the experts and leaders still didn’t think Putin wouldn’t be dumb enough to invade Ukraine. Now Russia will be economically destroyed and set back for decades. NATO also didn’t sign any agreement with Russia that they would not accept any Eastern European nations. Russia did sign an agreement that they would respect Ukraines sovereignty and not invade — but broke it in 2014 and again in 2022. Surely you must agree that Putin is not trustworthy, is Evil and is extremely dangerous? He’s targeting civilians in Ukraine just like he has done in Syria (even targeting hospitals) where he defends the leader that is dropping chemical weapons.
    2
  4068.  @wilhelm7129  yourmajesty143 is just repeating Russias talking point and ignoring that Russia is the one that invaded a peaceful nation, the one that is targeting civilians in Ukraine and did so in Syria while Russia supports the leader using chemical weapons, and that Russia is now threatening to use nuclear weapons as part of their INVASION.
    2
  4069.  @YourMajesty143  you know — Russia could have ignored all of this if Putin didn’t want to keep former Soviet states as his puppet states. If he respected sovereignty of those nations. He just proved to all of Russians former colonies that Russia will use force to keep them his colonies. And the whole Ukraine issue started when a president of Ukraine who promised to sign a deal with the EU was then bribed (or threatened) by Russia to back out of the deal in the last moments. People began to protests and the president decided to start killing protesters thus leading to much larger mass protests that had him flee and lead to 75% of congress voting to remove him from office. Putin then decided to invaded Ukraine. Had Putin not invaded or had not bribed (threatened) Ukraines president— none of this would have happened. Now Russias economy is crumbling and will be set back for decades making Russia weaker — all because Putin wanted more and more power. Now he’s threatening to use nuclear weapons after he’s already been targeting civilians in Ukraine because Putin has gone mad.

  4073. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea had 80% of the annual growth of China when those 3 were poor and middle income but they did it the right way with LONG term in mind. Chinas economic policy was far more interested in the gains of the moment (likely so they can show off to the world) at the expense of future growth. To put things in context, when SK / Japan / Taiwan each were around same gdp per capita as China today, they had 25+more years of 6-8% annual growth. China is expected To have 3% at most annual growth over next 25years! ​​⁠

  4082.  @nikomann88  I do not agree with your statement that the wealthy and well connected will invest in the agricultural or financial sectors, but never in the more complex industrial sector. in fact, agricultural sectors are probably not a sector that the wealthy usually want to invest in. In Argentina, they probably avoid the industrial sector because they don’t have trust in the government And the economic policies. Argentina is remote, but so is Australia, and they are very rich and chile is right next to Argentina, and had very strong success in the last 30 years. Deregulation is how Asia has gotten rich and yet you think it’s bad for Argentina? It seems to be that there is a lot more going on. I do agree that Argentina’s demand first world worker rise and salaries, but had to compete with for example, Brazilian society, and other such countries . This is what I mean that Argentina’s economic issues are related to populism where the government gives everything that the people demand which then turns into issues, which they try to correct only to return back to populism. Rinse and repeat.

OP described exactly why people don't want to use the Yuan but you ignored it for some reason. If it's a free exchange rate, not easily bought/sold, and the See See Pee will punish people for the smallest infractions (see what they did to Australia and NZ), why would anyone use it unless they are bad and worried about being sanctioned.

The US can also politically isolate KSA. The security Saudi Arabia receives from the US can also be withheld. the KSA will take time to find new weapons and someone new to protect them. The only large concerns IMO is that Saudi Arabia helps offset irans influence in the region. That’s why US wouldn’t want to destroy the relationship. But hey, if Iran has a revolution and throws out the ayatollah, Saudi Arabia becomes even less useful for the US

Unfortunately the video didn’t discuss if red lines move more with smaller incremental steps taken by the opponent vs going directly to the same spot and skipping steps. So if a true red line is at 60 out 100, would moving in increments of 10 move the true red line to 70 as you get closer to 60? And if in day one you move to 60, would that actually cross the true red line?

It was heavily influenced by the Italia diaspora mentioned and US soldiers.

One advantage they have that might help them get to upper income is that most Indians speak some level of English. They are in much better position to transition to the higher paid service jobs. China is basically just tech as their high income job growth but india with so many English speakers have basically all the options available to them. Accounting, financing, banking, tech, sales, international positions, etc. Indias hurdles are big though — caste system, red tape, etc.

I’m fairly certain this perp legally owned his gun despite being mentally ill. And 99% of crime guns originated in the US (they were not smuggled in). 20% are owned by the criminal and 80% are not owned but were in the legal market within the US before they entered the black market.

  4141.  @merocaine  Bizarre misreading how? It was released early Dec and not sure up to what date it actually went. BBC has an updated report from this week with "As of January 23, we were able to confirm information about 12,225 dead soldiers and officers." and they stated "We rely only on confirmed death reports, so the data collected does not reflect the actual level of casualties. We assume that our list may contain at least 40-60% fewer names of the dead than actually buried in Russia." So using that, it means they estimate the true number of Russian soldiers dead is around 20-30k. And that doesn't include soldiers from Donbass and may not even include wagner group. BBC also used a min of 5x multiplier to estimate the wounded by saying "Russia's total irretrievable losses (that is, the number of those who are out of action due to injury, death or missing) can be at least 110,000 people." So on the high end of their estimate using their low end multiplier, that's 30k deaths with 150k casualties.

In all the situations, the US was helping the better side -- unlike Russia who is always on the bad side. In Syria, Russia targeted civilians and committed war crimes while they sided with the brutal dictator that was using chemical weapons. Then there are the land grab invasions of Ukraine 2014 and 2022 along with 2008 Georgia.

  4143.  @merocaine  ", the 11 0000 is a guess or hope, they don't say what they base it on." They literally mention they verify it. They said: - From the first day of the war, the BBC Russian Service, together with Mediazona (recognized as a "foreign agent" in Russia) and a team of volunteers, has been keeping a list of casualties of Russian servicemen in Ukraine. As of January 23, we were able to confirm information about 12,225 dead soldiers and officers. - We rely only on confirmed death reports, so the data collected does not reflect the actual level of casualties. We assume that our list may contain at least 40-60% fewer names of the dead than actually buried in Russia. - We came to this conclusion by studying the situation in cemeteries in more than 60 Russian settlements. And the group they are working with said: - Mediazona, working with BBC News Russian service and a team of volunteers, continues to collect data about the casualties sustained by the Russian military in Ukraine. These numbers do not represent the actual death toll since we can only review publicly available reports including social media posts by relatives, reports in local media, and statements by the local authorities.

  4144.  @merocaine  Wait, what's up with Syrians?

They concluded Evidence of such a surge (pro war) also showed up in a survey by one of Russia’s most reputable independent pollsters, the Levada Center. The strong majority of Russians support the war. Levada also tested the polling by separating the group into 2 —- one gets asked how many of the 3 times do they support (gay marriage, monthly allowance for the poor, abortion) and another gets those same 3 plus one extra question — support for the actions of Russia in Ukraine. The difference in both groups will give you the % who support the war.

Also, a major issue with such comparisons is that Singapore is a city while US or Germany or Spain is a country full of hundreds or thousands of cities. Huge difference.

  4218.  @henli-rw5dw  the result of the plaza accord was economic stagnation of Japan for 30 Years and yet there were 5 parties involved and Germany got the exact same treatment yet they didn’t have the same issues. Japans economic growth was shrinking in 5 years before plaza and then increased in 5 years after. So why didn’t Germany suffer same result? Why did Japan go from shrinking growth to increased growth? Why was Japan still stagnant 10yrs and 20 years after the early 90’s drop? If it’s still happening many years later it would suggest there is some structural issue and not plaza issue.

  4219.  @henli-rw5dw  but hey, you switching eBay thing. It was food security before? Is you’re talking about semiconductors? Just an FYI, Japan was given lots of preferential trade from the US which by the 80’s were stating to hurt the US.

    2
  4224.  @DSlyde  ok, so you’re saying all the experts who have looked at Australia and who have also studied gun control In general are all wrong? Or is possible you are highly bias for guns? Which do you think? And there were 12 cases of mass shootings in 10 years going into the year of the new gun control. It would be 20 years before another mass shooting. Are you saying that it still not enough data to determine that the gun regulations lead to a sharp decline in mass shootings and murders? Also, what is your opinions on guns? In summary, are you saying you cannot determine anything if there 12 incidents in the 10 years up to 1997 then major reform to address those incidents, then 20 years without any incidents?
    2
  4225.  @DSlyde  the research discussed in this video is peer reviewed as well. You say it’s a bad study but it’s peer reviewed and also supported by other research. That’s why I’m asking for you opinion on guns — it’s highly likely you are very bias in favor of guns. Well, that’s more likely than the researchers and experts who reviewed the research are all wrong. And if you won’t reply about your opinion on guns, I think that is a strong indication you have a very pro gun view

  4226. I think it was the NYT podcast The Daily that had an episode on this mess, specifically focused on the system used by SouthWest. If I recall correctly, many employees including middle/upper management had been warning Southwest corporate executives that their system is flawed. What wasn't mentioned in this Wendover video was how difficult it was for Southwest Airline employees to call in sick or call in to say they can't make the flight -- it all had to be done over the phone with no computer system to handle it. So when some of those flights started to get cancelled and the staff couldn't make their destination in time to for the next shift, a large number of employees were calling in but the phone lines were flooded so they waited hours to speak to someone. This means Southwest wasn't able to reschedule the crew and thus they were often short of crew to work a plane. Add in the failures described in the video and you see why Southwest was force to just cancel all flights for a couple days and restart the whole process.

  4229. What’s their way out of this? They will have to find a new tax revenue generator but that will end up slowing economic growth so best case is they don’t collapse but just see very normal growth going forward like 2-3% gdp growth rather than 5% originally forecast for 2022-2030.
    2
  4230.  @jayl878  that probably won’t be enough but I suspect that’s what it will start with. Higher Taxes on higher end goods and higher taxes on the wealthy and middle class. But ultimately they will need a higher sales taxes across the board

  4235.  @MoribinJ  these cities have few weak rail connections. It’s shoddy. Wendover also had a series on this and so did Economics Explained.

  4237.  @alexlazar4738  according to “The Hydrology of the Mekong River” study, more than 40% of the Mekong River water comes from China. What’s your source Curtis Jackson? Furthermore, from the study “In the upper part of the Lower Mekong system, at Vientiane, the flow originating from China and Burma, the so-called Yunnan Component, not only provides most of the dry-season flows, but in addition, most of the floodwater during the majority of years. “

Other countries with smaller military budgets than India have been able to avoid buying Russian weapons so it's very possible for India to do it and if they continue to buy from Russia, it's not because they have no other option but it's because they like their relationship with Russia. It will be a very interesting to watch for over the next year or so.

No real lawns, lots of things walkable, and connected to the bigger towns / cities like Brescia by bus.

I do agree that the fuel sanctions don’t go far enough if China and India will just buy it up but at least two things happen: 1. Russia is forced to sell it less to China and India so they take a hit 2. Russia won’t be able to use that over Europe anymore

In addition, it also discussed how the US has access to lots of Russian inner workings which is why the US is often able to know the next move for Russia. Remember when the US said the invasion was imminent -- it was likely because of that access to Russian intel. But how is Moscow today for you?

So what Do you expect of the report? And what’s blown out proportion by the west? Very strong evidence: 1. Chinas plan to mass arrest Muslims in Xinjiang for infractions that are basically being or practicing Islam 2. 380+ camps built in recent years where millions have been sent 3. Evidence of forced labor at many of these camps 4. Former Xinjiang cop confirming mass torture which was documented by mass numbers of Uyghurs. 5. torture also described in hacked Xinjiang police files. Same files also said they will shoot to kill anyone trying to escape camps 6. Picture evidence of 2/3 of mosques destroyed or damaged over past 5-7 years 7. Forced sterilization of Uyghurs So, how is this not a horrible thing?

I don't see Ukraine ever taking Donbass region in a military fight because it's too well fortified and bordering Russia will be too well supplied. At best it will be part of some agreement IMO where possibly Russia gives up the Donbas in return for certain concessions for Russia to save face and possibly in return for the west undoing all sanctions.

Now they call it a war, had a mobilization, and haven’t mentioned n-zi in a while changing the story that it’s now about the west aggression. I’ve watched many videos on 1420 channel where they talk to Russians on the streets and 3/4 of them just believe what Putin says.

It was also approved by the US..."Japan has begun purchasing Russian crude oil above the $60-a-barrel cap, breaking with Western allies thanks to an exception authorized by the United States. "

  4375.  @unatrek2821  Americans have 50% higher cars (vehicles) per capita than the EU. Americans also drive more than twice as much as the EU per capita. So Americans have more cars and drive those cars far more than Europeans. Most Europeans do have access to a car (their own or a family shared vehicle) because they do need it on occasion but for most it’s not an an everyday need, unlike Americans.
    1
  4376.  @unatrek2821  “Americans like cars for many reasons” because Americas decided to stop building public transit (and removed many others like trams and street cars) for a while and built up roads like crazy! So of course Americans like cars when policies built up roads and neglected or removed public transit options.

  4377.  @unatrek2821  "Europe has 700 cars per 1000." Actually, EU has 560 cars per 1000 and US has 890 cars per 1000. In addition, US travels more than twice as far per year by car than Europe. And Europe was falling in love with cars as well post WW2 but since the 70's, they have worked backwards to remove cars and spend more on public transit. US continued to tear down train lines or stopped spending on new public transit while they increased spending for cars.

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

  4401.  @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?

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?

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.

  4424. @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.

  4425. @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. 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.

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 have refused to criticize the CCP beyond "ban on private tutoring" while I have gone to the extend to criticizing the US on racism (systemic and individuals), corrupt or immoral presidents, and I'll add also that US needs true universal healthcare and more safety nets 5. Claimed Amnesty International was started by the CIA but unwilling to tell me the name of the website and keywords to look it up. 6. The evidence you used against the camps are simply "the CCP said it isn't" or they show a classroom that doesn't 7. 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. Given ASPI demonstrated how CCP creates propaganda video and pics of these camps to make them look like schools, you would need to show video of these facilities you claim are schools are functioning as schools on other days. But you refuse to do so because your only source is the propaganda videos shot by the CCP itself.

  4433. @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.

  4434.  @zer0hero95  " Just because is a Chinese media so the things it shows is a lie, how blind you wanna be," Your broken English suggest you are Chinese. LOL. Do they tell you in China that the media there is all controlled by the CCP itself? And yet you think it's good evidence to use state propaganda from the state that is being accussed? >, i have been watching western media and chinese media to make my own judgement. But why Chinese media? They are the accused. You are aware that they make propaganda videos and ASPI has a great analysis of how they did it and with proof.

  4436. @agapp11able "where did you see that there is 10k students per facility? " It's a large compound with about a dozen buildings and prison walls. So do boarding schools for middle school in China typically have 10k+ students and have prison walls containing the kids inside? 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? Just a pdf scan online that isn't even connected to website?? Yo, you trying to get me a virus?

  4438. @agapp11able "so you quote sources funded by military and reject chinese native speakers who are telling you that the "Cinjiang Papers" are a fake simple for being Chinese, which is racist" ASPI (70% Australian funded) actually gives you evidence of China's propaganda videos where they re-arrange a one of these facilities so they can film a propoganda video. ARE YOU DENYING THAT CHINA DOESN'T MAKE PROPOGANDA VIDEOS?

  4439. @agapp11able Here is what we know for sure: 1. You use CCP media as a source to defend the CCP itself all while saying you refuse evidence from the west be it a news or humanitarian org.

  4440. ​@agapp11able Wumao, in case you didn't see my response: - "If they're incompetent, then how do we know that they're right about the rest of the facilities?" You identified 4 facilities and used CCP state media or random people online who only defend the CCP on their twitter accounts. In a couple of instances, the source is literally just the CCP saying it's not what ASPI claims. In another, they have a video of a classroom that can be anywhere and you accept it as evidence but yet won't say how you can even tell that classroom is in the facility. QUESTION: WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE THE CLASSROOM IS IN THE SAME BUILDING AS ASPI IDENTIFIED FACILITIY? WHY WON'T YOU PROVIDE OTHER VIDEOS OF THE KIDS PLAYING OUTISIDE IN THE FACILITY OR EVEN JUST GOING IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING? - ""Where's your serious criticism of the USA? Why did you ignore previous requests?" I gave you lots of criticism from racism in the US both systemic and individual, bad safety nets for the poor, no universal healthcare, corrupt and immorale presidents. 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. Q: DO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CHINA CREATES PROPOGANDA VIDEOS?

  4443. @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?

  4445. @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.

  4446.  @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.

  4447. @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???

  4450.  @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?

  4451.  @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.

  4452.  @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.

  4453.  @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.

  4456. @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?

  4457. @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.

  4458. @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.

  4459. @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.

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.

  4476. @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

  4477. @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

  4479. @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.

  4480. @agapp11able 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.

  4481. @agapp11able WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO POINT OUT WHERE ASPI LIED IN ITS ARTICLE WITH EVIDENCE OF CHINA STAGING VIDEOS? 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. 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

  4482. @agapp11able You have proven to be a wumao. lol 1. You asked two questions I had already answered several times 2. You are unable to point out what was wrong from the ASPI evidence that China has staged a video. 3. You called it a 'deal' when you made yourself a deal that I would need to answer 20 questions before you would answer what specifically was wrong with ASPI evidence on China staging videos.

  4483. @agapp11able "veryone knows your a bit because you dont answer the questions posed to you" But I did answer. Again. I had answered them before. So you're a lying bot.

  4484. @agapp11able "because its not evidence of staging a video. They just said it happened and offerend no proofs beyond vague claims." Funny how you are unable to give specifics. WHY ARE YOU UNABLE TO GIVE SPECIFICS OF HOW THE ASPI EVIDNECE IS WRONG?
    1
  4485. @agapp11able Aww, little bot got caught lying and never actually looked at the evidence that the CCP staged a video. How sad. But while you refuse to accept ASPI or any western evidnece, you are using CCP evidence even they are caught staging videos. You got busted being a wumao and you want out.

  4487.  @sunhuatom  high speed is common in ALL routes in China that the video found routes that had very like usage. $120 is a lot for more than half of Chinese. Are you a wumao? I’m trying to understand why You would ignore the facts and data showing some routes have significantly less ridership and the HSR has nearly usd$1 trillion debt and rapidly rising

  4488.  @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

  4490.  @sunhuatom  $600/month literally comes from Chinas own numbers you wumao. 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

  4491.  @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

  4492.  @weiner392  you can find the evidence of china staging videos if you Google “aspi mapping Xinjiang’s re-education camps”

  4493.  @weiner392  "the 50 cent army exists? " LITERALLY IN THE NEWS is Twitter suspending hundreds of CCP bots. And buzzfeed has an article about CCP trolls invading reddit. Google is your friend -- though you might need to use a VPN to google, right comrade? 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.
    1
  4494.  @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

  4495. @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
  4496. @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.

  4498. @agapp11able you changed the terms of the deal! Lol. We agreed that you ask two questions but if you ask what I already answered, then it’s my turn. That’s literally why you asked exactly two questions — you agreed to the deal. Like typical wumao, you can’t be trusted
    1
  4499. @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.

  4502. @agapp11able " i literally promised you if you answered all my questions, every single one, then i would be next and answer all of yours" And you think you can be trusted when you made that deal yourself (I never agreed) and asked some 20 questions instead of a couple -- then we remade a new deal which you agreed to with 2 questions but those 2 question I had already answered thus it was my turn but you refused? LOl!!!

  4504. @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.
    1
  4505. @agapp11able "we didn’t make a deal though" I agree, we never did!! Wow, thanks for proving me right
    1
  4506. @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".
    1
  4507. ​@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.

  4509.  @felipe-vibor  "yeah, they don't want to end up like Julian assange". Assange committed crimes that would get you the death penalty in many countries, certainly at least life in prison. You can argue that it shouldn't be a crime but the US isn't alone in how they view him. Russia tried to kill Navalny simply for criticizing Putin. Even Moscow workers like yourself can see the difference . "nd the only one you can name is Navalny for sure" Pavel Antov, Ravil Maganov, Dan Rapoport, Mikhail Lesin, Boris Nemtsov, Boris Berezovsky, Natalia Estemirova, Stanislav Markelov and Anastasia Baburova, Alexander Litvinenko, Anna Politkovskaya, etc. All 'taken out' by Putin.

  4510.  @felipe-vibor  "the Truth will suffice in fullness of time.". It already has. It's known that Putin executes political opposition. "A whole Russia tried to kill an individual and failed. Very incompetent yet threatening I see" Except they succeeded many times, like the names I mentioned. With Valvany, they almost succeed. There's literally a documentary on Nalvany that not only discusses in detail the evidence that Putin and the governtment were behind it but also have an audio recording of one of the hitman admitting it!! They have to make assassinations look like accidents or at least not directly tied back to the Putin so that people like you can go online and say "he Truth will suffice in fullness of time" while you claim there isn't evidence.

Israel does this stuff on their own. But I'm fairly certainly they got help from Azerbaijan as a launch point for the drone or allowed them to go through their space.
    1
  4514. @Prof, I'm confident it was Israel's drones based on all the reporting. Most likely did get support from one other nation, very likely Azerbaijan. They would have allowed Israel to fly their drone over their air space and would also be interested in seeing Iran's drones and weapons facility hit.

  4516.  @malakatan3235  so the west provoked Russia Into a war? I’m assuming your source of news for that is Chinese state media or Russian state media? Why did most of the former Soviet Union want protection from Russia isn’t a danger as you suggest? And how did Russia following through on their danger to others such as invading Georgia 2008 and Ukraine 2014 and 2022 support that countries near Russia Shouldn’t be concerned with Russia?
    1
  4517.  @malakatan3235  Yes, 'western media'. The Minks agreement was already AFTER Russia invaded so Russia had already started it! But somehow they are the victim? Chinese state media likely told you to bring it up but ignore that it was after Russia already invaded. And neither side ever actually stopped fighting so why even bring up the Minks agreement to defend Russia?

It was first because of supposed f8sc1st but Russia is one so they changed it to being about NATO expansion. But Putin cussed NATO to expand even more with Finland joining Sweden possibly later. So now it’s about…how the west wants to destroy R8ssian life? Did they stick with this one or pivot again?

  4528. Mexico has too much corruption and consistently has a government that just wants to give money away to the poor rather than use the money to build up infrastructure, improve education, and and make more business friendly environment. Almost all the success stories in Asia were from that playbook. Until Mexico makes proper reforms and spends the money on things that will improve business and trade, mexico will just have modest gains relative to Asia.

I agree that what's best for all parties and that Kosovo gain sovereignty with Serbia approval but also with northern Kosovo with ethnic Serbian populations go back to Serbia . Serbia is being held back in geopolitics with this Kosovo situation and from what I can tell, Kosovo lands aren't exactly wealthy in natural resources nor is it some great geographic territory that highly benefits Serbia. But will Serbia allow Kosovo indepdence and will Kosovo be willing to accept letting go of the norther territory? I think this is the best path though politics and nationalism often prevent such agreements.

  4545.  @goodluck250  I find it interesting how India has had a very different history than China. While China has had one culture that has changed over time but remained Chinese, is there really an Indian culture that goes far back? It’s been changed by so many factors such as Islam vs Hindu vs the smaller religions, different languages, etc. they are so diverse because they didn’t accept one Indian culture and India land as we know it today was almost never unified. India is probably more similar to the whole of Europe.
    1
  4546.  @goodluck250  unless I misread your comment, I think you vastly underestimate the impact religion has on Europe and culture and how it has divided groups. And I would extend that to the Islamic neighbors of Europe. Many wars were fought over religion and sides in wars decided by religion. I’m also not sure what you are referring to when you say the power of aristocrats today. I don’t disagree i just not sure what you are suggesting. Do you just mean rich people? IMO, the idea of “India” before it was unified interestingly enough by the Brits, is so much like the idea of a europe. Europeans with all their differences still saw each other as one larger group often at war with the Islamic world. I’m sure big parts of the Islamic world in the Middle East and Northern Africa also had a similar view.

It's obvious it's not just about defense, it's about offense. Add in what they are also doing in their attempts to essentially steal the South China Sea from it's neighbors and it's threats to Taiwan and it's clashes with India, it's even more apparent why China is growing their military at such a rate.

  4554.  @Slithermotion  I don’t even understand the purpose of your comment when I addressed it in my original post. And you make it sound like the Swiss were peaceful before they went into the neutral mode. They were the hired guns of europe for centuries. They fought wars all around Europe.

  4555.  @Slithermotion  you’re saying NATO and EU aren’t friendly to Swiss? You work for Moscow?

  4556.  @Slithermotion  The Swiss are neutral and can stay like that because they are given the luxury of being protected by the EU and NATO. There is no way you can rightfully disagree with that that. Just like Canada is protected by the US and so is Taiwan.

  4557. ​ @Slithermotion  The EU's Mutual Defence Clause — Article 42.7 in the Treaty of Lisbon — was approved in 2007 and has been in force since 2009. It states that "if an EU country is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other EU countries have an obligation to aid and assist it by all means in their power."
    1
  4558.  @Slithermotion  I just gave you info on the eu military clause but I was more referring to the member states itself and not the EU organization. If Swiss neighbors ever wanted to, they could have made life horrible for the Swiss, bombed them to smitherings, blocked them from any trade, etc. They are at the mercy of it's neighbors. But it's neighbors are nice (now) and the Swiss don't have to worry about any threats -- they benefit by being surrounded by countries that are very friendly to the Swiss over the past 50+ years and will be very friendly to them going forward as well. To deny those facts just shows you don't care for facts.

  4562.  @deezeed2817  I think its matter of what the definition of 'decouple'. I don't see that as complete removal of all trade with a trading partner, just reducing trade. Besides the problems of making china wealthier just so it can use that against the west, the other problem is the unfair conditions. China heavily subsidizes many industries and makes it difficult for foreign competition to enter the market while the west doesn't do that anywhere to the degree China does.

  4568.  @lung8143  and you saying there are camps but not ethnic is such as joke. Why have millions out of the 12 million Muslims in Xinjiang been sent to the camps? Why are they arresting Muslims simply for practicing Islam? Wumao, what’s you’re favorite vpn?

  4569.  @lung8143  "I'm Kuomintang," The party that wants to be unified with China.LOL. And like I believe you when you literally repeat CCP propaganda. ". ppl always say "its not possible for all those Uyghur witnesses to lie" but remember the time that the Kuwaiti woman lied in front of the entire west about supposed killing of babies in Iraq by Saddam?" This is a great example of CCP talking points. One woman lied in 1991 with little evidence to support her thus it means that the THOUSANDS of Muslims today in Xinjiang have lied despite telling the same story, confirmed by a former CCP official, and supported by lots of other evidence. Typical wumao. How do you execuse yourself for this obvious CCP talking point that doesn't even make sense? Comparing a single lady lying with no supporting evidence to thousands of Muslims telling the same story, backed by a former CCP detective, and supported by evidence such as satellite images, leaked ccp documents, etc?

But overtime, they have had stagnant economy with rights eroded. Now, they believe that their current situation is the best it will get because they bought all the false info from Putin.

He argued that at 15:10 that oil companies had all the incentives with no drawback to invest their profits in new drilling to increase oil production in 2021/2022. But the reality is that the fracking bust has many oil execs worried about new drilling unless it’s cheap drilling. In 2021 and early 2022, they expected the the gas prices to drop and that the oil price increase was short term so it would be a bad choice to invest in more expensive drilling right now. He cherry picked quotes from those execs which is why you have to be careful with agendas driven channels. But the rest of the video was spot as far as I understand it.

  4598.  @marcelcjr9313  then I don’t know how you don’t think there are more china defenders when there are 1.4 of them defending everything about China. Have you seen Polymatter videos on China?

You won’t see much defending European imperialism anywhere except fringe area of the web.

  4599.  @marcelcjr9313  which are you talking about when you say accepting vs approving? Expand? I can tell you that that vast numbers defends China treatment of Uyghurs in a variety of ways —. Denying it out right, approving it outright, acknowledging it but saying it’s over blown. The one I see most is denying it outright while they claim Uyghurs are super happy in Xinjiang.

  4640.  @tobiwan001  The Economics Explained video I just watched mentioned 25% but maybe it was % of GDP and not global trade. The importance is the trend -- the share of global trade and share of global GDP for the US is dropping so it's expected to be used less just based on that. But Yuan is only increasingly marginally so it certainly has no chance of competition with the US dollar.

  4642. I might be one of the few that support private industry unions but not public sector unions. My problem with public sector unions is they are not negotiating with the people that pay the them..the tax payers. At least not directly. The consumer (tax payer also) doesn’t have choice in services either. this causes lots of problems in negotiations. At least in private sector, the unions negotiate directly with the people paying them so we know there is a limit to what the owner can pay. In addition, the consumer almost always has choices. If Walmart were to unionize and prices go too high or service became worse, consumers can go to target or many other options.
    1
  4643.  @someperson5506  IMO, the only benefit as whole I see from public sector unions is what you mentioned. I’m still against them but who knows in 10yrs? 10yrs ago I was anti private sector union and today I lean in favor of private sector unions though I still have issues them (so I don’t blindly support all private sector unions nor all decisions by unions).
    1
  4644.  @someperson5506  with private sector, I generally support them on issues like pay and benefits but I often find I I am terribly against them on the rigid rules (the worker will only do this task and any deviation will be difficult) they often create that allow little flexibility in manufacturing or a business operation. That flexibility is important in today’s business. And making it too difficult to fire workers is also bad. Can’t remember which Northern European countries but some of them make it easy (relative to European standards) to fire workers and lay off workers but they provide strong safety nets for those unemployed. This provides flexibility for the companies but also has a safety net for workers that they don’t really take a financial hit.

  4645.  @orclover2353  It's not 2x the support. It really matters what you are measuring. For example, you were misleading by using " EU institutions ". A lot of the aid from Europe came outside the EU. Also, Just weapons? Total amount that includes financial support? Weapons plus physical goods such as medicine, generators, etc? And it matters if you are comparing what has already been given or are you measuring given + pledged? In terms of total aid, US has about 2x that of the "EU intuitions". But UK has given about 20% of what EU institutions has givens. Germany has given 15%+ of what EU has given. Poland has also contributed heavily. So lots of countries have given aid in addition to the EU aid.

  4646.  @TheAkkerman228  Your whole post makes no sense. Ukraine does not have over 1 million soliders. they have 500k total military personal and only some fraction of that are soldiers. And many of those soliders aren't in the frontline -- they are defending other areas. But Russia did send 500k just to the frontline! And there is literally videos of Russia just sending unprepared troops to fight just so they can gather info on Ukrainian positions. One video even shows over 100 dead Russians in field.

  4647.  @Bayard1503  China is in a better position to go green since they are growing economically and needing more and more energy.

  4652.  @LizardSpork  "There's a tendency for capitalists to think that trade will prevent war.' It works ONLY if the other nation you're trying to change relies heavily on that trade. But if that other country is very natural resource rich, they can sell their resources to anyone. Or if they are very big market like China or India, they know you will need their trade. But Eastern Europe is a great example of it working.
    1
  4653.  @LizardSpork  > I never said "stop trading", I said "trade does not prevent war". Maybe the fact you worded your original comment in a way that is more of a strawman might be the problem. Those 'capitalist' don't say it will ALWAYS prevent war. What it does is highly reduce war. > it's not just trade that brought peace to Europe, Europe had plenty of trade just prior to WW1, Actually, trade between nations were very minimal before WW2 relative to trade afterwards. Trade actually helps foster closer relations as well, which you didn't mention. Before Ch1na went a bit crazy starting 2020, a lot of the world had at least somewhat positive opinion of China. It was only starting in 2020 for the reasons mentioned in this video that they started seeing their favorability numbers drop. " liberal democracies don't war against each other." is a given and cannot be changed from the outside, but trade is something that one country can do with another that greatly reduces trade.

  4656.  @LizardSpork  Germany's largest trade partners may have been those countries -- but international trade was a much smaller part of their economy than post WW2. The world was not that globalized. If it was already as high as after WW2, then the powers wouldn't have created a globalized trade system to promote more trade if it already was exceptionally high.
    1
  4657.  @LizardSpork  "What does lack of globalisation have to do" Literally means that international trade was no where near as big as it would later become. You are aware of that, right? This isn't rocket science -- it's well established that trade has increased a lot over the years and that before economies were much more domestic oriented. > not something that guarantees peace. and like I said, you keep creating this strawman. It INCREASES the chances of peace. Or, it REDUCES the chances of war.
    1
  4658.  @LizardSpork  lots of things increas chances of peace and trade is one that increases peace the most that can be done from the outside rather. Liberal democracy comes from within — but trade certainly helped Eastern Europe became mostly liberal democracy. Same with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. I didn’t say you said trade doesn’t increase peace. I said you created a strawman by saying “capitalist say trade prevents war”.

  4660.  @LizardSpork  And just to illustrate my point of you taking things out of context, here is more on Thomas Friedeman that should end this conversation: - Thomas Friedman also warns that the Dell theory should not be interpreted as a guarantee that nations that are deeply involved in global supply chains will not go to war with each other.* It means, rather, that the governments of those nations and their citizens will have very heavy economic costs to consider as they contemplate the possibility of war. Such costs include long-term loss of the country's profitable participation in the global supply chain.
    1
  4661.  @LizardSpork  Yeah, except you did a blanket statement on a whole group when it was a small subset of them. So you made 1% apply to 100% of capitalist..and that 1% didn't even say it 100% eliminates chance of war.
    1
  4662.  @himanshusingh5214  almost every expert agrees a major reason China doesn’t fully support Russia (by providing weapons) and doesn’t invade Taiwan is the impact it will have to Chinas economy. So trade doesn’t 100% guarantee peace but it does greatly reduce chances of war.

They harass them, block their path so they don’t get near the camps, etc?

  4675.  @cowboydoggo6168  ur whole post is beyond $tüpíd. “Intervene with a country they don’t recognize”. They don’t officially recognize it because that would anger the little baby China. All of this is because your childish china has tantrums and is a big bad bully. They have g8nocides, they oppress their people, they try to bully it’s fine neighbors — but hey, U gotta work for ur .50 RMB

  4676.  @cowboydoggo6168  u could care less about simping for China? But u do it for .50 RMB Per post. Repeating all the talking points. You can’t even criticize them without also defending them in the same post. And u refuse to call it a g8nocîde despite it LITERALLY fitting the UN definition of g8nocïde.
    1
  4677.  @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?
    1
  4678.  @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? Who does Biden or the US need approval from?? What legal basis did the US Have to invade Iraq? And since when did foreign powers not help a nation that wasn’t international recognized? US helped the Kurds in Syria and Iraq. Bro, what is you ÏQ?

  4679.  @cowboydoggo6168  and Taiwan doesn’t want to call for independence because China has threaten to invade if they do. Why repeating CCP talking points you d*mb Wvumao.

  4680. 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

  4690. China has a right to punish other and others have a right to punish China. So that includes sanctions against those involved with the conc camps in China, forming alliances around China to help constrain China, sanctioning China if it chooses to help Russia more than it already has, and giving Taiwan all the weapons it needs to fight off China.
    1
  4691.  @sjv9147s  which conc camps? The ones in Xinjiang. Gitmo is a prison for terrorist that has held a total of 800 different people over all the years . Xinjiang camps are where millions of innocent have been sent. Of course a 50 cent Beijing worker epodo say they are the same.

  4693.  @sjv9147s  “have you been there (Xinjiang)”. Lol, another one that all the Beijing workers use. I’ve been to China many times but I don’t need to go to Xinjiang to know what’s happening like you don’t need to go to 1930’s Germany to know what happened to the Jews and others in the camps. You’ve never been to Xinjiang let alone visited the camps so why bring it up? Oh, because it’s next on the list from the playbook. Want to talk about 1800’s slavery to justify forced labor in the conc camps of Xinjiang in 2022? That’s also next. Oh, want to talk about police in the US? That’s also next. Then after that, “western media isn’t better than China media because Fox News exist”. You guys repeat the same lame arguments

  4703.  @sjv9147s  " if you don't already know you can't prove a negative" Actually you can. That's exactly what the courts do. One side is trying to prove the other side is guilty while the accused is trying to show evidence they are not guilty. If you are accused of committing a crime at X location, one side presents evidence of the crime and that you were there while the other presents evidence they weren't there. Surely you know this? or as a quick google search shows, " It is possible to prove rather specific negative claims that are made with rather well defined limits. If the area to be searched is well defined and of a reasonable size that permits searching then a negative claim might be capable of being proven."

Kareem by 1981 & 1982 was at or below Wilt's 1970 playoff (age 33). Moses Malone was 23.9pts 14.6reb 1.4ast. Kareem 1981: 22.1pts 13.3reb 3.3ast (age 33) Kareem 1982: 20.2pts 8.4reb 3.6ast (age 34)

Uyghurs didn’t have to follow one child policy so I guess it makes it okay to imprison them for being f Muslim, beat them and force sterilize them. Terror of colonization — how do you remember that? Are you an indigenous who was alive in 1700? But I guess what happened 300 years ago makes it okay to treat the Uyghurs like your Spanish ancestors did to indigenous people 300 years ago.

But then China did a weak job on economy during industrial revolution and were left behind by not only Europe and US and much of the west but also by japan others in the region later.

And your Russian trolling is obvious. You mentioned an independent Texas restricting English in favor of Spanish — but English the primary language now just like Ukrainian is the primary language of Ukraine. And the reason some Ukrainians speak Russia is because Stalin killed millions of Ukrainians in the 30’s and then moved millions of Russians into Ukrainian in an attempt to damage as much of Ukrainian culture and identity as possible.

  4784.  @ancovisser2424  I was trying to be specific with my choice in “cuisine”. There are indeed some very good dishes and foods from Eastern Europe and Northern Europe. As whole (cuisine), it does lag behind southern Europe a lot. One my favorite dishes one europe I had was in Slovakia or Austria, it was pork knuckle. It was so tender and delicious and came on top of sauerkraut. I saw that in the menu in a few nearby countries. But it i spent a week in Italy or Spain vs a week in Germany or Slovakia or USSR (that’s a joke), I would have many more wonderful dishes in Italy and Spain. UK probably has the worst traditional food but London has lots of great international restaurants or modern more expensive “british dishes”. I guess the modern versions of all cuisines are really good regardless of where you are at.

    1
  4788. Are you comparing the US to China as if they are very similar? US can carry more government debt than China because US is bought internationally at much higher numbers. In addition , the 300% shows the countries total debt from government to corporate to household. It’s higher in China than US and when you consider 250% is from corporate and household debt, you will understand that spending among households and businesses will be harder and harder.
    1
  4789.  @kennethli8  China uses state owned banks to hide a lot of the “public debt” which is why total debt is useful. Or add government debt to state corporation debt. China has a larger total debt as percentage of gdp than US and Chinas is growing faster. Add in what you said about how a lot of Chinas debt has to be paid in foreign currency and add in that US is by far more bought currency in the world and you can see chinas debt issue isn’t the same as the US even if both are problematic.
    1
  4790.  @kennethli8  let’s not also forget that chians debt is likely exaggerated by a large amount. One study in lights showed Chinas GDP is possibly only 40% of reported based It’s findings. It’s not an exact science but it gives you an idea. In addition, similar countries in debt and autocratic rule where about 30% lower their reported GDP With richer and more democratic nations showing equal with reported and research estimates. So if chians gdp is 60% lower, it’s debt to gdp is actually 750%! If it’s 30% lower (in line with typical autocratic regime) it’s still a 430% debt to debt!

I’m in the US and I wore my mask religiously for the first year then sporadically after my two vaccines shots and now after my two boosters (including latest vaccine for omnicron variant), I only wear my mask in certain situations such as in tight crowds or hospital and public transit. The latest variant isn’t as deadly especially with vaccines mRNA with boosters. China just won’t use mRNA and will keep oppressing people for a while longer

  4797.  @matthewdolman  I agree that it is suprising to hear about that in China considering the level of br**nwa$hing there. But it's been 2.5yrs so cracks are bound to form. They somehow have to balance "rest of the world is in chaos with so money dying" with their human instincts and live normal. Honestly, this can't continue for another year so I suspect by early 2023 the party will find ways to drastically cut back on the zero covid strategy.

I forgot about that Southwest part of the big island. Isn't Hilo the biggest city on the Island? I would have thought Costco would be by Hilo.

It’s funny you complain about the US aggression against a Muslim country (how many years has it been since the US invaded iraq?) while France is basically providing some level of support for Russia after they committed perhaps the worst war violation we have seen in a long time — invaded a sovereign country that wasn’t making any threats to it nor threats to anyone else in an attempt for a land grab and committing SEVERE war crimes in the process. Edit: I see in another comment your defending China and saying the US is planning to invade China. So you don’t care about France, you are just anti American.

Europe’s sharp turn away from Russian oil and gas may also hit the Kremlin’s ability to supply its own market, the report said.

  4868.  @Verpal  going to reiterate the last point — do you think the US will not try to get ships through if China uses that militia navy? And how will China enforce such a blockade without attacking the US and ally ships? Why are you people refusing to acknowledge it will take china attacking US (and allies) ships to have an actual blockade?
    1
  4869.  @Verpal  “not official militias” so they will be destroyed easily by the US with no repercussion from China? Or they will be fully considered part of China and China will face repercussions on how that militia acts. So in the first, they don’t do an actual blockade. In the second, China will have to attack the US to have an actual blockade. “Whilst yes the US will be able to send some ships through, that’s not my point”. But that is THE point of all of this. The OP started by discussing a blockade of Taiwan and I have been pointing out that for an actual blockade to occur, China will HAVE to attack US ships (and Allies such as Japan, UK and France or whoever joins). You agree on that part? Oh, and if those militias try to do a blockade on Taiwan, they will certainly be destroyed easily so all of that point is moot. It’s just a small temporary hold on shipping as the US destroys those ships
    1
  4870.  @Verpal  “civilian ship”. So it’s not militia or armed? Then what good is this “militia”? Sounds like the “militia” won’t do anything and all this discussion is pointless. And we are back to the main point V (the user we both replied to) made and my counter to V that any actual blockade will require china to fire on the US and the allies. Do you agree that any actual blockade will require china firing on US and allies? Are you even reading what I’m saying?? All of this started with V and I pointed out that a blockade will require china to fire on the US and allies. The “militia” will be no part of any actual blockade and it’s not much relevant to anything major in regards to this discussion about china invading or doing something major against taiwan
    1
  4871.  @Verpal  you and I replied to him. I replied to you about that other guy (even you brought up freedom of navigation that China will have to prevent). I stated from the start all of that but you have consistently refused to even say “yes, China will have to attack the US in order to have an actual blockade” so it really seems like you don’t want to admit that for some reason. You could have clarified at any point “yes, China would have to attack the US for an actual blockade BUT I believe what we will see is militias”. And you’re militia argument makes no sense to this discussion..you said it’s civilians and attacking them would look bad. Ok? Then they are not militias and they may try to do some harassments but even you must admit that it won’t be much a problem in regards to the bigger discussion being had here so it’s not a big concern.
    1
  4872.  @Verpal  the difference between me and you is I have clarified many times my views on the militia as well as on blockade. You refusing to speak directly about the blockade or flat out saying China won’t be able to blockade makes it appear you are conflating whatever this militia does with a blockade that was being discussed by the person you originally responded to (@V) and me who also kept that discussion going.
    1
  4873.  @emperorjonz9590  “abusing freedom of navigation” how? You never responded. It’s clear it means China will have to fire on the US and Allies because US and Allies currently send ships through the straight to enforce freedom of navigation. Nice try vvumao

And all of of Putin's supporters? >Now the Russian stock market has backup as well as the ruble is better than ever. Stock market in Russia is down nearly 40% YTD and even though the ruble is a bit better YTD, it's because Russian government has been forced to make a lot of changes which is why inflation is rampant. Trade one devil for another. The longer the sanctions last, the worst it's going to get. Russia will run out of their ability to buy their rubles, the 15% interest rates will kill much of the domestic economy, the inability to bring in many foreign goods directly will lead to shortages and thus rampant inflation. Let's also not forget the brain drain -- a very large number of educated people have fled already.

  4915.  @bhorgc7860  got it. So only works if it’s exactly 50 to know 100% chance of success. I still don’t get how the 31% chance of success is achieved. Mathematically he gave the formula and calculation but in practice, I can’t understand it. The 50th box makes sense though. If first person finds their number in 49th box, how do we know everyone else will be on the same loop as his 49 and not the 51 box loop?
    1
  4916.  @wingracer1614  I think it just hit me what that means. The video made it sound much more complicated but your explanation simplifies it for me. It's hard for me to 'believe' that 100 players with 100 boxes only has a 69% of there being one loop over 50 but that's what the math demonstrated. In my mind, it feels like 100 players with 100 boxes would have far higher than 69% chance of having a loop over 50.
    1
  4917.  @wingracer1614  If the first player gets his in 30th box, that means one loop is 30 long, right? That leaves the other 70 to be split into 1 to 70 loops. Is this correct? If so, I'm starting to see how it's only 69% chance of there being a loop over 50 even though at first I thought it would be a significantly higher chance than 69%.
    1
  4918.  @astromessier  If there are 100 boxes and one loop is 50, then you know all other loops are 50 or less thus 100% chance of success. In other words, out of simplicity imagine the loop first chosen is just numbers 1-50. Anyone with a number of 1-50 will be within that loop. That leaves 51-100. We don't know how may loops there are among 51-100 but it is at least 1 and at most 50 loops. Worst case is just 1 loop among 51-100....which is still 50 boxes in that loop. So therefore 100% chance of success if the first person got his number in exactly 50 boxes.

  4923.  @daniellarson3068  I can’t tell if you’re making the typical anti US uneducated comment or not. Venezuela has never really been on par with Saudi Arabia on oil because Saudi Arabia’s oil is easily tapped while much Venezuelas oil reserves are far harder to get and their oil is “dirtier” requiring more expensive refinement which is why even 10 years ago their peak Venezuela wasn’t anywhere near a rich country like Saudi Arabia. Your post seems to suggest Venezuela is decent government despite Maduro basically making himself dictator and having thousands of extra judicial killings. Even with all that, the US did Send officials go Venezuela a few weeks ago.
    1
  4924. @H J that’s a bunch of BS. Venezuela oil reserves are a lot of costly oil reserves. Venezuela even before sanctions was highly inefficient in part because they nationalized their oil and weren’t able to manage it but also because their oil is considerably dirtier and harder to get than Saudi Arabia’s oil. There weren’t sanctions on Venezuela 10-20 years ago and they still weren’t Able to realize all that oil reserves. Even if your numbers were true, for comparison, Venezuela could increase output by 2.5 million barrels a day to 5 million but Saudi Arabia is 13 million barrels a day and they can increase a considerable amount without any problem. Face it, Venezuelas poor because of bad oil management and their oil isn’t as clean and easy to get as Saudi Arabia

  4925. @H J anything above $30 Venezuela makes money on their CURRENT oil production. The new oil is far more expensive
    1
  4926. @H J no, it’s way too costly for Venezuela to do it alone even without sanctions and it takes time. It’s possible in a year or two by the time they started getting some of the new oil fields the oil prices might be $50-$70. It’s a risk. And Venezuela even without sanctions before ever failures in this — they are terrible at drilling for oil. The only use I see is if Venezuela and US make up and then US and foreign companies invest heavily to help get the oil. That’s a big risk for the US and Maduro is a dictator so it will be hard for the US let that go and it would be hard for Maduro to be friendly with the US.

  4927. @H J in addition, Venezuela is currently in an economic collapse making it difficult for any foreign investments even if there were no sanctions .

  4928. @H J - Hugo Chavez also took several steps that precipitated a long and steady decline in the country’s oil production, which peaked in the late 1990s and early 2000s. His decision to fire thousands of experienced PDVSA workers who had taken part in an industry strike in 2002–2003 gutted the company of important technical expertise. Beginning in 2005, Chavez provided subsidized oil to several countries in the region, including Cuba, through an alliance known as Petrocaribe. Over the course of Chavez’s presidency, which lasted until 2013, strategic petroleum reserves dwindled and government debt more than doubled - he ended term limits, effectively took control of the Supreme Court, harassed the press and closed independent outlets, and nationalized hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets, such as oil projects run by ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips. The reforms paved the way for Maduro to establish a dictatorship years after Chavez’s death.

  4929.  @JamesKerLindsay  I see the exact same comments here as I do on Reddit world political subs. Well, from Indian nationals. I find their arguments confusing because they often say “India is just doing whats best for India” to defend indias relationship with Russia but if they really believed in Indian doing what’s best for India, they would support India weakening their ties with Russia considering the west is both Indias biggest trade partners and their closest Ally against China. I believe the big support for Russia comes from two very different groups. One is going to be the traditional Indian nationalist who support Russia in part for soviet support but most importantly because this groups is very anti west due to British colonial history. The other are far leftist (communist, authoritarian socialist) and they will support Russia mostly because of Soviet Union ties but also like the first group they are also very anti west. I base this on the comments I’ve frequently seen on Reddit from indian which I then look at their comment history to understand what other arguments they are making. The pro Russia Indian nationalist are constantly making anti west comments everywhere and the leftist Indians are of course constantly defending communism past and present while also frequently defending anyone that goes against the west. I’m no expert but if hundreds of Indian redditors that frequently post in those Reddit subs are decent representation of Indians opinion, I’m confident that’s what’s going on. In the US you have something similar though not as strong as in India. There is sizable number of nationalist in the US who either support Russia or are blah about him. Trump was praising Putin often but so does many right wing media. It’s sort of split on right wing media though. And of course far left Americans also have some level of support for Russia but there aren’t many of those people in the US. Our more typical left goes up to Bernie Sanders and his supporters aren’t Putin fans at all. Beyond Bernie is just a fringe group of far leftist.
    1
  4930.  @JamesKerLindsay  and to add to my comment, I think both those groups (traditional nationalist and leftist) say “India is just doing what’s best for India” because they don’t want to admit that they support Indians close ties with Russian DESPITE it bot being good for India in the long run. Ideological types on all sides IMO often try not to be honest about their justification knowing it would be a hard sell to anyone listening. Also, it’s understandable why India was aligned with Soviets and even through 2000. I Believe somewhere around 2000 Clinton was the first president to visit India so that would mark the beginning of the US attempting to to win over India. But the last 10 years the cooperation has increased tremendously and US has begun weakening their ties with Pakistan (maybe in part because the YS began to then did withdraw from Afghanistan or maybe because bin Laden near the capital really soured the relationship and trust). It’s now going to be on India to reciprocate if they want closer ties to the west.

  4956.  @danielutriabrooks477  "there was a war in 1941 between Ecuador and Peru" I specifically said 'true war'. There have been 2 or 3 conflicts since 1932. I guess it's a matter of opinion. IMO I don't think a conflict with 1,000 dead in a 3 week conflict is a 'true war' but I can see the argument for it. >"Land grabs are out of fashion because the Cold War make it so every conflict became a proxy war" no, land grabs fell out of fashion due to the effect WW2 had on the world and the creation of the UN that started a more rule based international order. that's why they had to resort to proxy wars during the cold war and why after the USSR collapsed, there were far fewer wars and far fewer proxy wars.
    1
  4957.  @stephenjenkins7971  "What more taboos will be broken in the future? We don't know" The fact that this is a rare occasion in more modern times tells you that we are generally going to fewer and fewer conflicts. Thats' why Russia and potentially China are a major concern to world stability. Russia is acting like it's pre-WW2 and China is saying and doing things that would also put them on path to act like pre-WW2. But the rest of the world is generally moving forward. Even the US is getting far less directly involved in wars or military conflicts. >LatAm has not been embroiled in any wars, thankfully, but why do you think it will always stay like that? Because you need a large strong army to invade a country successfully. LATAM doesn't have that. they are also culturally too similar which is a reason that wars among these countries have been rare. And their borders are well defined at this point -- at least not anything that would suggest a major conflict. And third, the US has A LOT influence in the region. That means an invasion of one LATAM country of another will be met with some major consequences from the US.

  4959.  @danielutriabrooks477  What false equivalences? You need to be more specific than such a vague comment. We know that Russia has been involved in many wars in other countries just about every decade. But no latin american country has attacked another in many decades and no true war between 2+ LATAM countries has happened in nearly 100 years. The US is also a major influence in the region so invading another country would come with possible retaliation from the US (be in economic or otherwise).

  4960.  @danielutriabrooks477  There are disputes but those are not serious border disputes to the point they are threatening to attack each other. The last territorial conflict with any deaths was almost 30 years ago between Ecuador & Peru. >"1 The outside interference is going back to Eurasia, where it belongs, and away from South America." What part of my argument is this addressing? If it's away from South America, what is the relevance to South America? >" The example of the Cold War is talking de why there were not war between countries" The cold war has been over for 32 years and not only no war but nothing close to one. I don't even know why you even bring up the cold war since there were plenty of wars between nations in africa, asia and middle east during the cold war so it certainly didn't prevent wars. >Colombia's, Brasil's and Argentina's are big enough At most Colombia's are big enough to invade Guyana....if they bordered Guyana. They don't have a big enough military to invade and occupy any part of it's neighbors.

  4961.  @danielutriabrooks477  "I'm not saying that there will be an invasion, I'm saying that the factors wich prevented an invasion are starting to have less influence" I'm not saying there is ZERO chance of it but I'm pointing out the facts that they are very low chance. No true major war/invasion in nearly 100 years. The factors you mention like cold war doesn't make any sense since there were more wars in the world during the cold war than after the cold war. And the Colombian president is a semi-socialist who use to be a terrorist but that doesn't mean he's going to invade anyone.

  4962.  @danielutriabrooks477  the external pressure isn’t going away. It’s not just the US but if a LATAM country want to access global trade, they will be under pressure from many in the west. And Cold War era didn’t have American hegemony in LATAM. That’s literally why the US and Russia each were so heavily involved. Wow, for you to say LATAM was American hegemony is plain funny and wrong. And Colombias military doesn’t have the weapons needed to mount a successful invasion of its neighbors. It would be very costly for them
    1
  4963.  @danielutriabrooks477  You're argument is more clear now. Still doesn't hold though. The US and Soviets were not involved in all LATAM countries. In addition, as I pointed out, wars are happening less and less since the cold war ended. These day most are either civil war or wars over serious territorial disputes that have have seen on and off conflict over the years and almost all are from countries formed post WW2. I can't think of any recent war between two countries in a territorial dispute that has been seeing conflict before WW2. Add in that culturally LATAM is very similar, it reduces the chances of any war.
    1
  4964.  @danielutriabrooks477  US and Soviets weren't involved in most of them all the time. Only when there was a civil war or some rebel group group causing problems. There weren't examples of one country invading another during that period. "I would say that wars happened less and less due to a consolidation of the states (a nation/administration reaching their maximum natural borders in regards to aviability resources, geography and similar cultural groups)" There haven't been many new countries since the 1960's. Most of the fighitng during the cold war was a rebel group against the government where one was communist and the other wasn't. > as opposed to people just becoming more peaceful. Russian, chinese and pakistani expansionism seems to follow this idea. Pakistan doesn't fit there. Anyways, that's all you can name? Wait until you hear about how the world was before WW2 or even the cold war. Korean civil war, vietnam civil war, chinese civil war, China-Vietnam 1979 war, Pakistan-Bangladesh-India war, Several Israel vs neighboring states, China-Tibet 1959, Cuban civil war, etc etc.

  4965.  @danielutriabrooks477  "With this logic the possibility of war between culturally similar countries would be more likely than between two countries with no cultural similarities" But that just shows you know little about wars. Most the wars and conflicts right now are between two groups that have different ethnic identify be it race, religion or other ethnic differences. Somalia right now is between the government and a different ethnic group. Yemen civil war is two groups with different religious beliefs. Ukraine - Russia is the same which is why ethnic Russians in Ukraine generally support Russia and ethnic Ukrainians support Ukraine. almost all the conflicts in africa are between different tribal groups.

  4966.  @danielutriabrooks477  Pakistan and India are not ethnically the same. One is Muslim and the other 80% Hindu. The fact is that territorial expansionism mostly disappeared after WW2 and we saw mostly civil wars or fighting over contested border territories during the cold war. The fact is that compared to the past (cold war), there are few serious border disputes as most of the serious border disputes have already been addressed. This is why a major conflict where one country invades another besides some border dispute is not likely in Latin America.

  4967.  @danielutriabrooks477  "the contested region is culturally similar to Pakistan," The contested region that's part of India? Or the contested region that has a lot of people culturally similar to India? I don't know how this supports your argument. "unlike other countries with territorial disputes, Pakistan and India have gone to full-scale war multiple times in the recent past." But they fit exactly what I mentioned. Post ww2 indepdence that has a constant major dispute over territory and it's between two groups that are very different -- Muslims vs Hindus.

China did censor Winnie the Pooh completely from Chinese social media and then later censor it if it’s referring to Xi.

  4995.  @antoineaublin3812  "productivity has been rising while the worker/pensioner ratio decreased, so were still producing enough wealth even with less workers in proportion". But then this assumes that people are not materially improving their lives over those decades. HEAVILY flawed argument. A lot of that productivity gain went into people buying more stuff. By your logic, the payout of the pension should be the same as it was 40 years ago.

  4997.  @JustPeterSteel  I’m confused. Are you saying that the more you make, the less you get in pension? That makes no sense. The US does cap how much anyone can get from social security so it doesn’t matter if you make $150k or $1,500k a year, you’ve hit the cap.
    1
  4998.  @JustPeterSteel  one million euro/dollars is not that much these days. It's nice but you aren't living rich without a constant flow of high income. But either ways, 120k euro or dollars is not that much if you have a family and the spouse makes a lot less or doesn't work. It's a good amount if each makes 120k though. and many people only start making 120k late in their careers so it's not guaranteed they will have a lot of saved money.

  4999.  @johnsamuel1999  ' If you contribute more to the pension system, you deserve more pension amount to maintain your prior lifestyle. Its about fairness, the more you provide, the more you receive. " You must agree though that there is a cap on payout of a government pension, right? And many laws and policies are not about 'fairness' as you define it. it's about what is best for the people.

  5000.  @asusdvh7265  There are many problems with the OP (Antoine Aublin) using productivity gain. Productivity is measured by the number of hours worked by a population. If there are fewer workers and more retired people or if workers are working fewer hours, a productive increase might still result in lower GDP and lower tax revenues. And guess what, in 2000 France dropped the full time work hours from 39 hours to 35 hours. That means that an 11% increase in productivity and no other changes (same exact number of workers / retired) would be required to just get back to 2000 levels.
    1
  5001.  @JustPeterSteel  what country are doing your math for? Are you factoring in that 120k after taxes is a fraction of that? I'm not sure exactly what it would it be in France but let's say it was 80k. That's only 5k per month. The house and all the bills cold be 3k. That leaves only 2k food, clothing, other bills, entertainment, etc. and that individual would have 2-3 kids.

  5002.  @johnsamuel1999  " yes I am aware that the government has both a minimum pension (which benefits lower income groups) and a maximum pension as well. But the person above want everyone to receive the SAME pension amount or lower income people to get more.'" I was looking at clarification from both of you and I think I got it. I certainly disagree with him on that specific argument there. " laws are not based on whats "best for the people", its based on what we want them to be " Same differences. Maybe I should reword it so that you can understand the point. Laws are based on what the people think is best for the people. At least in a democracy. So why are you talking about fairness or equal treatment of finances? The logic you used would suggest all welfare (or financial support to the poor) is wrong.

I expect one ad for sure and the occasional two ads (though for longer videos I expect two frequently) but lately I’ve been getting hit with 3 ads for videos under 15 minutes.

  5025.  @imapimplykindapimp  I personally would like a weekly recap but that might take too much time from Tony or might cut into his daily viewership so I can understand if he just does a monthly recap. I think there are 3 types of viewers (I am #2): 1. The subscribers who watch all or almost all episodes. I imagine this is a small%. These are probably the types that don't subscribe to many other channels and are very focused on China related content. 2. Subscribers who watch many episodes but likely 1/4 to half the episodes. They miss episodes and they likely don't go back to watch what they missed in part because they are following many other channels or just don't have time. 3. Viewers who were either recommended this video or searched 'China news" and found these videos or are subscribers but don't have notificaition. These types are likely to watch maybe 1-4 of Tony's video a month.

  5059.  @weaver1507  I asked Jeahyoung and another person a question that neither has responded to nor do I think they will. I’ll ask you instead. If South Korea moving the goal post and finding ways to not accept Japanese apology is not true or isn’t a major factor, than why is it that Vietnam has extremely favorable opinions of the US and favorable opinion of France, it’s former colonist? Vietnam was in a war with the US and they moved on in less than 1/3 the time and now Vietnam has very favorable opinion of the US. Up to 3 millions people died in the war and that was ended about 30 years after WW2. So why can Vietnam that had 3 million deaths in a war where the US was on the opposing side, be able to move on and embrace the US roughly 30 years later? If you say it's because it's trade, then don't forget that Japan had a lot of trade with South Korea. If you say it's about apologies, I'm not sure any US president has apologized for the war. Vietnam also a decently close relationship with it's former colonist, France. France left Vietnam AFTER japan left Korea and yet after 30-40 years, Vietnam had a positive opinion of France.

  5060.  @weaver1507  How is it a dumb question? It's literally a piece of evidence that another country was able to move on with far less given in return. "Ask this vietnamese people not Koreans, because vietnamese reacted in a certain way this means Korea must follow as well?" You just proved my point that the issue they have with Japan is a Korean problem. "Korea hasn't accepted Japan's "apology" because it's clearly not sincere." France and US didn't even apologize. And Japan has made many sincere apologies. That doesn't mean 100% of Japan's apologies have been sincere since certain politicians at some points in the history have put their foot in their mouth.

  5061.  @weaver1507  June 22, 1965: Minister of Foreign Affairs Shiina Etsusaburo said to the people of South Korea: "In our two countries' long history there have been unfortunate times, it is truly regrettable and we are deeply remorseful" (Signing of the Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and South Korea). August 26, 1982: Chief Cabinet Secretary Kiichi Miyazawa said to the people of the Republic of Korea: "1. The Japanese Government and the Japanese people are deeply aware of the fact that acts by our country in the past caused tremendous suffering and damage to the peoples of Asian countries, including the Republic of Korea (ROK) and China, and have followed the path of a pacifist state with remorse and determination that such acts must never be repeated. Japan has recognized, in the Japan-ROK Joint Communique, of 1965, that the 'past relations are regrettable, and Japan feels deep remorse,' and in the Japan-China Joint Communique, that Japan is 'keenly conscious of the responsibility for the serious damage that Japan caused in the past to the Chinese people through war and deeply reproaches itself.' These statements confirm Japan's remorse and determination which I stated above and this recognition has not changed at all to this day. 2. This spirit in the Japan-ROK Joint Communique, and the Japan-China Joint Communique, naturally should also be respected in Japan's school education and textbook authorization. 1989: Prime Minister Takeshita Noboru, in a speech in the Japanese Diet, said: "As we have made clear previously at repeated opportunities, the Japanese government and the Japanese people are deeply conscious of the fact that the actions of our country in the past caused suffering and loss to many people in neighboring countries. Starting from our regret and resolve not to repeat such things a second time, we have followed a course as a "Peace Nation" since then. This awareness and regret should be emphasized especially in the relationship between our countries and the Korean Peninsula, our nearest neighbors both geographically and historically. At this opportunity, as we face a new situation in the Korean Peninsula, again, to all peoples of the globe, concerning the relationship of the past, we want to express our deep regret and sorrow" April 18, 1990: Minister of Foreign Affairs Taro Nakayama said to the people of South Korea: "Japan is deeply sorry for the tragedy in which these (Korean) people were moved to Sakhalin not of their own free will but by the design of the Japanese government and had to remain there after the conclusion of the war" (188th National Diet Session Lower House Committee of Foreign Affairs).

  5062.  @weaver1507  May 24, 1990: Emperor Akihito, in a meeting with South Korean President Roh Tae Woo, said: "Reflecting upon the suffering that your people underwent during this unfortunate period, which was brought about by our nation, I cannot but feel the deepest remorse" (Meeting with President Roh Tae Woo).[15] May 25, 1990: Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu, in a meeting with President Roh Tae Woo, said: "I would like to take the opportunity here to humbly reflect upon how the people of the Korean Peninsula went through unbearable pain and sorrow as a result of our country's actions during a certain period in the past and to express that we are sorry" (Summit meeting with President Roh Tae Woo in Japan). January 17, 1992: Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa, at a policy speech on a visit to South Korea, said: "What we should not forget about the relationship between our nation and your nation is a fact that there was a certain period in the thousands of years of our company when we were the victimizer and you were the victim. I would like to once again express heartfelt remorse and apology for the unbearable suffering and sorrow that you experienced during this period because of our nation's act." Recently the issue of the so-called 'wartime comfort women' is being brought up. I think that incidents like this are seriously heartbreaking, and I am truly sorry I could go on but just pointing out examples.

  5063.  @weaver1507  all you are doing is agreeing with me that the difference is about how south Korea is reacting and behaving to the situation. It’s not as much about the actual grievances (Vietnam went through a lot and so did Philippines) as it is how Koreans are deciding if they want to move on or not. Where we might disagree is why they are doing that but my point is that this issue with grievances is mostly driven by South Korea continuing to ignore a history of sincere apologies from Japan and moving the goal posts.

  5076.  @j2174  sure, but not too relevant. China has major issues coming and the final few minutes of the video discuss how China will see increasingly lower performance and due to the population maybe halving over the next 50 years, they may be stuck in this middle income region.

  5079.  @aies.5074  Since Modi and his BJP party came to power in 2014, he has pursued a relentless campaign to curb the independence of India’s media. As the Editors Guild of India put it, the BBC raids are part of a well-established “trend of using government agencies to intimidate press organisations that are critical of government policies or the ruling establishment” The government – and many BJP-controlled state administrations – have also sought to intimidate journalists through the use of sedition and national security law Examples of how Modi is treating media: look up 1. 2020, Siddique Kappan, a journalist from Kerala - 2. , Dhaval Patel, editor of a Gujarati news website - 3. 2021, the journalist Kishorechandra Wangkhem - 4. ministry of information and broadcasting blocked the television channel Media One The three journalist arrested in BJP states on manufactured causes. One was reporting on sad story of a young Dalit woman. 2 & 3 critical of govt on handling of pandemic.

  5081.  @theeternal6890  "Ur arguments were well put and logical unlike that other guy calling India authoritative." Binskee called India authoritative. He also said "india has something like a non agression rule in their constitution" which it was pointed out to him it means nothing because there are plenty of examples of countries with such clauses finding ways around that. . Japan has clauses in their constitution about how their military is for defense purpose only yet they have suggested they will help Taiwan. In fact, that's probably how it will go -- India (assuming they keep going down that path) will justify some military action as defense just like Japan is doing in regards to their support for Taiwan. India and China both have 'freedom of the press' in their constitution. We know that there is 0% freedom in China and we know Modi is arresting journalists or punishing media that criticize him. Then Biskee writes about how it's difficult for someone in India like Modi to have too much power because it's a federal Republic. Russia is a federal republic. That's enough evidence that it can easily be done. So what again was his logical arguments?

  5082.  @theeternal6890  CAA is indeed concerning muslims in India. It's being used together with the National Register of CAA. - INDIA’S CITIZENSHIP LAW, IN TANDEM WITH NATIONAL REGISTRY, COULD MAKE BJP’S DISCRIMINATORY TARGETING OF MUSLIMS EASIER - Due to changes to India’s citizenship law, Muslims excluded from a national registry, which has already been implemented in Assam, cannot become citizens.
    1
  5083.  @theeternal6890  "Thousands of Indians have been protesting against a new citizenship law as well as possible plans for a National Register of Citizens (NRC), alleging the measures are an attack on a secular constitution and against minority Muslims. Elsewhere in India, protesters say the citizenship law will be followed by the national register, which they fear is designed to expel Muslims who do not have sufficient citizenship documentation." also: "Nowhere is this more evident than in the northeastern state of Assam, some 2,000km (1,242 miles) away from New Delhi, where the BJP has ruled since 2016. Thousands of Muslim families have been forcibly evicted since 2021 from land they had been residing on for decades....The campaign to render families homeless has picked up steam in recent weeks. On December 19, about 250 families were evicted in the Nagaon district of Assam. A week later, 47 families’ homes were destroyed in Barpeta district. In the Lakhimpur district, hundreds of families were evicted in early January."

  5084.  @theeternal6890  I used Russia and China to make the point that those defending India/Modi are not using facts. Someone argued Modi can't have too much power because it's a Federal republic. Russia is a federal republic. Someone argued that India has freedom of the press and ""india has something like a non agression rule in their constitution". well, Russia and China have freedom of the press in their constitution. And Japan has in their constitution that they their military is for defense only yet they signanling they will help Taiwan against China by expanding 'for defense' to include Taiwan and did so by saying they are critical to Japan's national security. So what's the problem? I stated facts that can't be refuted.

  5106. The issue is their interpretation and the assumptions they make that were often bad. It seems like they are making more and more content that is overly dramatic and making big assumptions. I saw the video a couple days ago on nebula so trying to remember but the demographic argument was way over blown. Sure, South Korea does have low birth rates and faces a future demographic crisis but that doesn’t mean SK is getting weaker. SK is getting better and better weapons and forming stronger relationships with US and even japan. So whatever weakness arises from the demographic crisis is more than offset with building stronger alliances and spending more on defense. Plus, none of that matters because South Korea has Allies with nukes and SK has massive conventional weapons that could wipe out much of North Koreas population. Any nuclear use or even invasion of South Korea will be done be a leader they went completely crazy/mad and that leader would have done that regardless of South Koreas demographic situation

  5139.  @ShomoGoldburgler  I don't understand Latin America at all. They take the worse of communism and the worst of right wing to make ideological leftist economic policies with conservative social views. Asia showed that to grow from poor to middle income to wealthy involves pro business friendly policies. Even China and Vietnam dropped leftist economic policies with LATAM leftist leaders to the economic left of so called communist China and Vietnam. Then there are the success in India (last decade), Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, etc.
    1
  5140.  @ShomoGoldburgler  LATAM left wing is nothing like northern Europe left wing which is generally much more business friendly, less corrupt, not authoritarian, very socially progressive, and who manage their 'welfare' much better than Latin America. It seems northern Europe realized that you can't just give money away and leave it at that. They actually invest in the people with a target of of improving the economy. Whether one agrees with left wing economic policies in northern or not, it's clear they at least making reasonable policy decision and not just trying to buy votes like LATAM left wing. I'm not going to say Chile's new left wing president is good but he is at least more similar with Europe's left wing. He seems more practical and he calls out human rights on the left in Latin America, including Maduro.

  5141. Each culture has a lot of traditional aspects that they have trouble breaking from but Asia in general (west, east, Southeast Asia) seems a lot more “stuck” on traditional aspects of their culture than the west. I’m guessing it has a lot to do with how long a country or region has been more economically developed. Within western countries, you can see that. Take the US for example. The south has historically been poorer and they are culturally more conservative by a lot than the north. But I also think immigration is a major factor. East Asia has very low % of foreign born population and thus keeps itself more contained leading to slower change or slower “progress”. Most southern states in the US have the lowest foreign born citizen or legal resident population in the US which I’m sure is a major factor

If Israel wasn't building settlements in the west bank, there would have been peace a long time ago. I agree it's about ideology in the end -- Zionism ideology.

  5182.  @lightup6751  you said “real tacos are from Mexico”. That suggest you either think the Mexicans born and raised in Mexico opening taquerias In Los Angeles are not real Mexicans or could not make the same tacos. They are Mexicans and they often do make the same tacos Cali Tacos are not a thing. It’s Mexican tacos. Or if you want to claim no food can be made like in the home country, than it’s street tacos. But oh guess there’s no Neapolitan pizza anywhere but Naples? American tacos are Taco Bell style

  5185.  @ocsjc13  My parents are from mexico and i went every summer to mexico. I also go as an adult, i've been 5 times in the past 3 years and going again this summer. So you think all those Mexicans coming to the US as adults and starting taquerias don't know how to make tacos? You think as soon as they cross from Nuevo Laredo to Laredo they can no longer make the same tacos?

  5186.  @ocsjc13  "Mexicans born and raised in the US? Lol those are called Americans". Oh yeah, the moment they arrive as adults they forget how to be mexican dummy.
    1
  5187.  @ChaposShoota  You're right, the moment adults from Mexico come to the US they forget how to make tacos. They just somehow forget. "The meat taste complete different and there is no debate to that". If it's beef, it's the exact same beef. Mexico imports $42b a year in agricultural goods, $32b from the US mostly grains, oilseeds, meat, or related products. Mexico does not produce enough grains and oilseeds to meet internal demand, so the country’s food and livestock producers import sizable volumes of these commodities to make value-added products such as meat, vegetable oil, and wheat products
    1
  5188.  @ChaposShoota  " if u think tacos in Mexico taste the same as any taco in US" If you think there aren't tacos in the US that the same, then you don't like facts. I'm not saying all tacos in the US (more specifically southwest) taste the same as mexico but you can find many that do.
    1
  5189.  @lightup6751  "Mexicans obviously know to make Mexican tacos". Yes, and they don't forget the moment they cross into the US. "But more often that not the flavor changes because the food is being adapted to the local palate. " Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There are mexican restaurants who don't adapt to the local palate just like there are those that do. Historically, adapting to local palates was cheap versions so think Taco bell style tacos though now you are seeing 'upgraded' or modern versions. Better ingredients like higher end cuts of meats. "Tacos in LA typically do use different recipes, ingredients and taste not quiet the same. Of course, even inside Mexico the flavors can totally differ." I am Mexican American. I'm also a bit old compared to the typical person leaving comments on youtube (which are usually teens or 20 something year olds). I don't live in LA but I've been there a dozen times (work plus have some family in the area). I've grew up going to Mexico to visit family every summer and then didn't go to Mexico (not counting cancun strip lol) after high school until I was around 30. I've been to different parts of Mexico the past 6 or so years from local spots in riveria maya (not the tourist area) to San Luis Potosi to Guanajuato to San Miguel de Allende to Queretaro. The tacos are often a little different everywhere but are still generally the same and you can find similar tastes and ingredients in the US with some Mexican tacos. But that's not to say all so called authentic tacos in the US are the same as Mexico but there are certainly many of them in Mexican neighborhoods, including LA. The biggest difference is just that in the US, most authentic tacos stick to roughly the same 6-8 meat fillings. In Mexico, while most taco places have 3-6 meat fillings at their location, they often vary from restaurant to restaurant (or cart to cart). That's where Mexico easily outshines the US -- you can walk around and find many different fillings. If it's an actual store (taqueria), they might have 20+ fillings as options with half of them rarely found in the US if at all. But overall, if it's the same fillings, there isn't much difference between between a typical taco in mexico and a typical one in the US from a true authentic Mexican restaurant. My ex is from China. She sees some of the same with Chinese food. There are of course lots of Chinese American restaurants. She dislikes people calling them Chinese but she things some are good like PF Chang or for being fast food, she thinks Panda Express is good value. She mostly dislikes the hole in wall old Cantonese restaurants. Those have been made cheap and Americanized heavily. But we would go to restaurants she picked that she found to be very authentic. Those restaurants would sometimes have two menus -- traditional/authentic and American Chinese. One thing Chinese restaurants in the US do better than Mexican restaurants is that authentic Chinese restaurants offer far more options that are typical in China which is why their menus can be huge. Mexican restaurants, as I said, even when authentic tend to just limit what is served so you will miss out on some foods from Mexico.

  5190.  @lightup6751  " But it is a bit surprising that you never seem to have heard that traditional dishes change in a new country. The way you act it seems you think that food never changed " this almost feels like you completely ignored everything I had said before or just didn't read the other 5 or 6 comments I made to others. I said you COULD find tacos in the US that are authentic and same as Mexico but also that there restaurants that serve less authentic tacos.

  5191. @MT It is a fact that the Nile River already is getting to the point where water is concern so this dam certainly has potential to really hurt Egypt. Why do you make stuff up that there is zero chance of water becoming an issue for Egypt?

  5192. @MT From UNICEF: "Egypt is facing an annual water deficit of around seven billion cubic metres and the country could run out of water by 2025, when it is estimated that 1.8 billion people worldwide will live in absolute water scarcity (source: IPS) and climate change is a key part of the problem." You aren't even remotely trying have an honest discussion which proves my point...that you are just making things up to blindly support your government.

  5194. @MT Just an FYI, Real Life Lore just put out a 30 min video on the complexity of the matter regarding Ethiopia building a dam and the consequences for Egypt. One side isn't entirely right or wrong which is why it's complex but it discusses how water shortage from a dam could be a MAJOR problem for Egypt and that Ethiopia has not truly made any effort with Egypt to include them in the process and Ethiopia has also rejected bringing in 3rd parties.
    1
  5195. @MT Even after Ethiopia started the building the dam, they have said no to everything and anything. Only someone working for the Ethiopian government would continue to say that Ethiopia (the same leader that committed horrible atrocities and war crimes in Tigray) government isn't part of the blame. Like I said, you made up that Egypt doesn't have a water problem so clearly you have no interest in anything remotely near an honest debate.

  5196. You can't use logic or facts with gun nuts. Idiots claim that 'criminals will still get their guns' and that's a stupid statement on so many levels. First, it ignores statistics of countries that have greatly regulated guns in recent years. Second, such a statement is saying that regulating or banning anything is pointless. Why ban grenades & machine guns? Oh that's right, it does make it harder for criminals to obtain. Why put a speed limit? Because it actually does reduce speeding.

So Russia invades in 2014, takes Crimea, sends private army and weapons into Donbas to start war, war continues through Feb 2022 and since that war continued, its justified for mr Russia to Invade all of Ukraine?

Cafe Americano can now be found at most coffee shops in Italy and France. Europe during ww2 drank coffee mostly in espresso form or very strong coffee. Americans were use to drip coffee with is lots of water in it. So local cafes began diluting their espresso and it became known as cafe Americano.

But how long would their population be okay eating mostly just wheat? They import most of the beef, almost all their soy (soy beans), and many other important food goods. Part of the problem for them is they do not have large industrial size farming operation so a significant share of their farmlands are subsistence or independent farming.

  5219.  @applejuice9468  That's a good question. I don't think we will ever know for sure because the US and companies are in transition of decoupling a bit and so are other nations but it's a slow process that it will be hard to measure. It's possible that even the 2017 tarrifs from US may have started working...their GDP growth went from 6.95% to 5.95% 2017 to 2019. It's now expected to be under 3% in 2022.

However, he greatly underestimated the access Americans have to good true bread. Most supermarkets have bakeries and Whole Foods bakery is popular. US just lacks the many small bakeries that make it convenient to buy fresh bread consistently. Also, in rural areas and suburbia there are even fewer bakery options and often have to drive there.

  5249.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  one of the reasons China wins many of these projects besides having many construction companies is that the west often put to many restrictions on their loans — they require some min wage for workers, environmental protections, workers safety rights, etc. China doesn’t care about any of that so they are able to offer rock bottom prices. In addition, it’s very likely China has a massive international bribing operation as well. Their operation was caught in Guayana by Vice News.

  5258. Ukraine is in danger of losing future military and financial aid if the gains will be just a few km each offensive. I think this analysis didn’t focus on much on “gains needed to keep funding from the west coming and to keep support for the war domestically”. Explaining just what the expectations should have been based on military situation is only part of it and IMO not as important as explaining what gains Ukraine actually does need to win the war. If this war will just be a few small km each year, Ukraine will lose support for continued financial and military aid from its allies.

  5259. This is the 2nd time in a week that TLDR dropped the ball. A few days ago when first discussing the info in US military leaks, TLDR failed to mention that the document were modified and thus presented that Ukraine had some 70k KIA to Russia's 17k KIA. The fact that all media mentioned it appeared doctored but TLDR was just bad. And here, TLDR completely misses the criticism of Macron's statement. It's not the argument for European autonomy, it's that he basically openly confirmed that no one should help Taiwan and thus gives Xi a tool to use that drive his ambitions.

  5280. Snopes on tiktok in China are basically saying they don’t know whether to call it a ban if they offer a service that seems identical, by the same company, and trying to comply with Chinas government: - TikTok is not available in the country, and hasn't been since it was first launched in 2016. That said, there is no official evidence proving or disproving that China banned TikTok. As such, we rate the claim Unproven. - At the time of this publication, Chinese company ByteDance owned social media apps TikTok and Douyin. TikTok is available internationally, but you cannot find the app in the Chinese app store. Instead, you would find Douyin, which has been described as the country's domestic alternative to TikTok.

  5283.  @jonathanlochridge9462  I usually have corn bread from stores (fresh made) and restaurants, rarely dry. But when people make, yes, it's often dry! I never buy the pre made cornbread, only made onsite. A quick google search shows it's often dry if people over bake it or use the wrong flour.

  5284.  @jonathanlochridge9462  Whole foods and local grocery chain have bakeries and sell house made cornbread. Moist and delicious. I usually don't order it a restaurant and have only had it twice, both good. I did buy cornbread at a cheaper bakery once and it was DRY!

  5289. I’m glad you kept Chile mostly out of it but why even bring it up as suggesting it likely was still a U.S. coup? All the major evidence suggests Nixon wasn’t aware of it until it happened and there are White House tapes / notes that prove that? To me the banana republic coups are the worst because it often involved a coup or oppression of democratic voices and was simply for US interest. Many of Cold War era coups where in situations where they opposing side was communist or aligned with the USSR which IMO would have made the world worst if it was dominated by the Soviets.

Xinjiang has had 2,000,000 or so sent to the camps and most for “crime” of practicing Islam such warning certain Islamic clothes, praying too much, having long beards, etc or simply for being related to someone who was already detained.

It also wouldn't be too difficult to know who did it or who didn't do it for the intelligence communities in Europe. I'm fairly certain the EU and US know who it is and there are only 2 options: 1. Russia did it. But EU & US cannot admit they have solid evidence as it might escalate the situation. 2. Some European countries and US agreed to do it for whatever reasons. But they must keep it a secret.

  5335.  @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.

The stores nearby include several Japanese and Korean restaurants.

It does for the app on my YouTube but only occasionally. It's not his first language, that's for sure. 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.

  5339.  @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.

  5340.  @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"

  5341.  @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.

  5342.  @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.

  5344.  @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.

China now says it vocational schools….with prison walls and watch towers and armed guards 2021/2022: Moe evidence, China now says these facilities are prisons The whole time they didn’t allow people to get remotely close to any oft those facilities, especially international media who they blocked on the road and harassed But yeah, totally nothing to see

  5352.  @davenobody407  show you where you said they are schools? I pointed out the history of what YOUR govt says. And you repeat irrelevant CCP talking points as well. Uyghurs population has been increasing? The gen cide started in 2017 so why are you talking about historical population growth? That’s right, sticking to CCP talking points s In addition, Chinese government data shows Uyghurs birth rates have been cut in half form 2017-2019. That’s some strong evidence they are trying to reduce the population, right?

  5353.  @davenobody407  " Since when is word cruel is on the US dictionary?" Im guessing 'gen -cide" isn't in the Chinese dictionary? " Xinjiang, Tibet or Taiwan must not fall into others hand.

Because no way would you support China becoming allies and friendly with those populations, right? It has to done with force to project power.

They often drop out and are riddled with debt. “88% of graduates from for-profit colleges had loans as of May 2018 (average debt of $39,950 vs $29,000 average debt for all students) “48% of borrowers who attended for-profit colleges default within 12 years, compared to 12% of public college attendees, and 14% of nonprofit college attendees.”

  5375.  @vmlenigma  not sure if you’re American but I find the change of Mexican food in the US interesting. Before about 2000, real Mexican food not super popular unless you lived by the border. A lot of Mexican food was really Americanized cheap Mexican food. Taco Bell or similar style. At home Americas wouod make hard shell tacos with ground beef — like Taco Bell. But in the last 20 years, real Mexican food has become super popular to the point there are now many modern Mexican restaurants (upscale Mexican) and fusion such as Korean tacos.

They concluded Evidence of such a surge (pro war) also showed up in a survey by one of Russia’s most reputable independent pollsters, the Levada Center. The strong majority of Russians support the war. Levada also tested the polling by separating the group into 2 —- one gets asked how many of the 3 times do they support (gay marriage, monthly allowance for the poor, abortion) and another gets those same 3 plus one extra question — support for the actions of Russia in Ukraine.

  5391.  @UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana  that’s such a vvumao reply. Poor people aren’t taking HSR in China. What’s up with you? Let me guess, you don’t think there’s anything horrible the govt is doing in Xinjiang?

  5392.  @UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana  bro, you a vvumao? Why do would businesses pay lots of money for HSR to bring in poor employees?? Hey, what’s going on in Xinjiang? Are you allowed to say it? Starts with a “gen” ends in a “ocide”.
    1
  5393.  @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.
    1
  5394.  @UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana  the poor are in the same company so the company pays the expensive daily cost of HSR for them? Your refusal to say what’s going on In Xinjiang is just evidence you are not able to criticize the govt of China. Is it because of being paid or just a hardcore nationalist? Free Tibet! Free Xinjiang! Free Hong Kong! Free West Taiwan!

They can’t afford it and no company would HSR for its poor workers that make in one day 10% the cost of HSR. You make no sense which is why you bring up Yemen which isn’t part of the US. You probably think Yemen is an American state or territory like Tibet or Xinjiang is to China?

So it seems you agree that China is oppressive and authoritarian but you seem to believe everything China wants is Valuable so oppression of the people is okay?

  5399.  @UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana  “it will be able to hire more low income employees”…how does that justify paying the HSR tickets of the low income employees? What a vvumao. “Exactly yemen is not part of the USA”…thus nothing like Tibet or Xinjiang. “Only really because the USA cannot annex”…what?? vvumao just stating what he wants as ifs the truth? Well, fun fact, China is currently paying lots of money to bribe countries all over the world to make those countries colonies of China. They are also supporting executions of innocent people all over the world

  5415.  @cx5307  in addition in China, their gdp is estimated to be maybe twice what it actually is. Others have 30% higher than what it actually is. In addition, from the citizens point of view, they get far less of the gdp share than just about every country so their gdp isn’t a reflection of what the people actually see as benefit..that’s why their gdp is only 35% or so consumer while most of the world is 50-70%. The govt holds down wages for export reasons Some believe that the govt of China holding down wages a tremendous amount (which leads to citizens seeing significantly smaller piece of the gdp) is why studies might show Chinas “true gdp” is half of what is reported. The artificially held down wages and low consumer spending are leading to some studies showing significantly lower gdp in China. These studies on a true gdp often make assumptions that the citizens are getting a certain share of the gdp

  5437.  @rogerexwood6608  I wouldn't call the CCP risk averse. By siding with Russia and threatening Taiwan and trying to steal the South China Sea, they have alienated most of their biggest trade partners. Their wolf warrior diplomacy also has made it worse for China. But China has learned from Russia that the west will unify around a cause. An invasion will need large mobilization which we be easily spotted by US intelligence and after Russia mobilized 150k+ troops around Ukraine and the west thought it wouldn't happen, the west will take any mobilization by China as a high likelihood of invasion so they will immediately start preparing and will start punishing China. China is not risk averse but they are not as risk takers as Putin and China learned what might happen which does suggest they are less likely to invade.
    1
  5438.  @JamesKerLindsay  I agree with you. There are several reasons why it's more likely to NOT invade than it is they will invade. 1. Ukraine had a HUGE land border with Russia making it easier to invade. Taiwan is an island and will be much harder to take. There's a reason there hasn't been a successful invasion of England in nearly 1000 years. 2. China learned from invasion of Ukraine that the west will unify around such a cause. 3. Russia had an element of surprise that China won't be able to have. Russia surrounded Ukraine for months and the west thought Russia wouldn't invade but eventually did. China will need a large mobilization to take Taiwan and that will be easily spotted. The west and international community will see that as an invasion is very likely and thus will begin to act immediately - large increase in military weapons support to Taiwan, sanctions on China, and possibly the west sending numerous ships in the area which would require China to attack western ships first before the invasion. Will they be willing to attack western Ships as first strike policy?? 4. Taiwan has already been preparing for a long time and even today will have MUCH better weapons than Ukraine had on day one of Russia invading. This is why I think the South China Sea conflict is more likely. In addition, China will need to control the South China Sea before invading Taiwan to have any reasonable chance of success in Taiwan therefore SCS first before Taiwan invasion.

  5467. Great argument about the Type of music dominant at a given time is influenced heavily by the dominant listening context of that time. I can say that as I listen to older music, my opinions of songs have changed as I’ve listened far more frequently with earbuds / headphones than through a speaker. One of the biggest changes for me is how much more I appreciate GREAT vocalist / singing. I’ve become a much bigger fan of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli because you can really pickup and feel the vibrato and other great elements of their singing that don’t pop as much on a speaker And I think hip hop with strong bass became popular in the late 90’s and after in part due to people listening more and more frequently with headphones

  5476. I think this perfectly illustrates that Palestinians have been the majority cause of their own problems by constantly trying to end the state of 🇮🇱 and then the past 20 or so years, Israel has added to this issue by no longer seeking a two state solution either. What I don’t understand is how people attempt to say Palestinians are innocent in this as none of this would have happened if since day one of Israel independence, Palestinians and Arab neighbors until 1973ish didn’t try to end the state of 🇮🇱 many times. 1 defending Palestinians attempt to claim all those lands for so many years is equal to supporting Greece and Armenia taking back lands in Turkey that they lived in prior to 1920’s. And defending Kurds from taking lands in Turkey and iran. And defending North Korea from taking South Korea and vice versa. And defending Germany from taking back Kalingrad from Russsia. Etc etc 2 those lands never were ruled / controlled by “Palestinians”. Before Israel independence, it was British and before that it was ottoman and before that it was other Turkic groups and Greek Romans (Byzantium). 3 see more below

This is by far the most common reason for eviction, and the least surprising.”
    1
  5483.  @paulkennedy8701  clearly you aren’t a smart person. If the guy making the video states something is a problem (evictions) and that problem is 95% of the time because not paying rent, then he’s got a problem with people being evicted for not paying rent otherwise there is no reason to complain about the evictions if his only problem is the 5% of the time it’s not related to missing rent. Seriously, why would he complain about the 5% if evictions happening at 1/20 the rate wouldn’t be a big issue? Just follow through your logic. Your saying he is possibly complaining about the 5% when it’s not missing rent. That wouldn’t be a big enough issue for him to even mention in his video. So clearly it’s about missing rent. As for the second part, leading up to it he’s literally stating the how badly black people and urban poor were treated — housing discrimination, laws against black people, etc. Then he mentions the evictions and says they are keeping poor people poor. It’s part of the same discussion about how they are being treated badly. Sorry, but landlords aren’t there to provide free housing, that’s the government la job. And No, they are already poor if they can’t pay rent.

  5484.  @paulkennedy8701  bro, you doubled down on stupid. Just because he didn’t straight out say something doesn’t mean he didn’t argue it. I literally broke it down to you and you aren’t smart enough to comprehend. Ok, so if he isn’t talking about the 95% of evictions that are from not paying rent, then why is he making a big deal about the 5%? You can’t answer that because you are lacking intelligent and critical thinking You sound just like the Trump supporter that’s say Trump isn’t a racist because he didn’t straight our say black people are the worst. You need trump to literally tell you he hates black people for you to argue Trump is a racist
    1
  5485.  @paulkennedy8701  5% isn’t a big deal. If evictions were 1/20 (5%), they would be far lower in the US than Europe. So why be so stupid to say he was speaking about the 5% when the 5% would be a very low eviction rate?!?
    1
  5486.  @paulkennedy8701  5% is an estimate based on the fact that almost all evictions are from not paying rent. The 5% is a reference to the percentage of evictions that are related to not paying rent...it is not saying 5% of people are evicted. Are you Stupid?! Again, You sound just like the Trump supporter that’s say Trump isn’t a racist because he didn’t straight our say black people are the worst. You need trump to literally tell you he hates black people for you to argue Trump is a racist Btw. 2009-2011 was peak eviction and foreclosure time. It’s a cherry picked stat

  5487.  @paulkennedy8701  You're doubling down on stupidity and a waste of time. For example, you said "You were the one who said "5% would be a very low eviction rate". ".....No shit. I was saying that if evictions were 5% of what they are right now, that would be really small. It would mean that it would be 1/20th the rate. How can you complain about something when it would be significantly lower than most other wealthy nations? That wouldn't be a complaint, that would be a positive to say the US has much lower eviction rates than western Europe. honestly, I don't get your ignorance. Is it real or are you trolling? If eviction rates were only 1/20th of what they are now, this channel wouldn't have made a big deal about it as it would be a positive about how low eviction rates are in the US compared to other wealthy nations.
    1
  5488.  @paulkennedy8701  Bro, you are too stupid to follow the conversation. I literally said that (approx) 95% of evictions are due to not paying rent. The 5% is clearly a reference to the 5% of evictions that aren't from missing rent. Therefore, anyone with an IQ over 70 would understand that when I brought up the 5% again, I was arguing that if if the only evictions were that 5% (of evictions that are NOT from missing rent), the eviction rate would be very low and thus would be something to be proud of. The fact that OP made a big deal about it means he's not focused on that 5%...it means he's complaining about landlords evicting people for missing rent (the 95%).
    1
  5489.  @paulkennedy8701  Bro, you are stupid. It's 1.5 million people evicted a year. If the number was cut by 95%, that would be 75,000 evictions a year. Why are you so stupid? https://www.un.org/development/desa/dspd/wp-content/uploads/sites/22/2019/05/GROMIS_Ashley_Paper.pdf

My whole point is that 1.5m people are evicted each year, roughly 95% of them are for not paying rent. So if the OP complains about evictions, he's arguing that landlords shouldn't be evicting. If that's not his argument, then he's talking about the 5% of total evictions that are due to reasons that aren't related to missing rent. That is roughly 75,000 evictions....which would be very little for a country with 325 million people. That would mean he his primarily complaint isn't about the 5% (since it would be too low) but the 95%. Thus he's complaining about landlords evicting people for not paying rent.

  5492.  @paulkennedy8701  "The one million is a CALCULATION based on the figures HE gave..". Like I said, you used a cherry picked number by looking at one of the worst hit cities during one of the worst times to try to apply it today. WTF is wrong with you? Why would you be so deceptive and use such cherry picked numbers?

  5493. While you ran your study in sauce sticking to pasta, the more often discussed matter is how the pasta water of Bronze cut makes for a starchier thicker sauce. That’s one the biggest selling points of bronze cut that you only mentioned as a side note. You might be a better to do that topic though it’s already common knowledge. But showing science behind it would be unique. Measuring how much more starch and if you can taste the difference in the sauce using bronze cut vs regular cut pasta water.

  5507. This video is a bit problematic IMO. First, the US isn’t the only supplier of weapons and aid to Ukraine. Europe has provided just as much as the US yet no mention of European aid. Second, for months already Ukraine has been shooting down drones with the German-made Gepard system, a vehicle that can send dual streams of 35mm rounds ripping into the sky to hit the drones. They are not using $100,000 missiles. Third, the video doesn’t seem to describe the consequences of all the actions mentioned that Russia is undertaking. The video suggest that Russia could put up with even 10:1 (10 Russian losses to 1 Ukrainian loss) ratio of losses for a long time. Each round of mobilization will make the war less popular In Russia. You cannot use WW2 as an example of how much Russia is willing to lose in terms of people’s lives because WW2 they were fighting to preserve the existence of the country – so Ukraine today would be a better comparison to Russia in WW2. In addition, the video mentions that mobilization of the poor, minorities, and disenfranchised communities wouldn’t pose big problems for the Kremlin. But it will, certainly for the minority regions where approval for Moscow is lower than the rest of the country. This could lead to potential revolts.

  5509.  @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.

  5510.  @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.

  5511.  @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.

  5512.  @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.

  5513. This is the 2nd time in a week that TLDR dropped the ball. A few days ago when first discussing the info in US military leaks, TLDR failed to mention that the document were modified and thus presented that Ukraine had some 70k KIA to Russia's 17k KIA. The fact that all media mentioned it appeared doctored but TLDR was just bad. And here, TLDR completely misses the criticism of Macron's statement. It's not the argument for European autonomy, it's that he basically openly confirmed that no one should help Taiwan and thus gives Xi a tool to use that drive his ambitions.

There Aren’t many routes for those supply lines unlike for Ukraine where they have so many routes unless they get cutoff in an area which hasn’t happened in a whole (Mariupol?).

  5577. Unless I missed it, one big thing that I think is missing is if red lines move more with smaller incremental steps taken by the opponent vs going directly to the same spot and skipping steps. So if a true red line is at 60 out 100, would moving in increments of 10 move the true red line to 70 as you get closer to 60? And if in day one you move to 60, would that actually cross the true red line?

  5578. In the min wage issue, I think the example of a fast food restaurant makes a lot of sense. However, I work in manufacturing and the customer is not based locally. I am confident that min wage hikes do have a negative effect on jobs where the work is for a product or service that has its customers not just locally such as manufacturing. I can build 10k widgets at $1m in labor costs but if min wage goes up 20%, that’s $1.2m in labor costs but my customers are spread throughout the world so I’m not gaining increased sales.

  5584. Great Q&A. I find myself agreeing with 98% of what you say and the other 2% usually not me having a complete opposite opinion but just some differences on some of the less important details. The only part I where I may disagree is on the statement about China & Russia where you argued China does not like Russia's invasion of Ukraine and that it fundamentally doesn't support the war. I believe they supported the war initially but with the belief that the war would be over in a few days or few weeks. I think they still support the war but just not as strong of support. The reasons for my opinions is that China signed a $100+ billion energy trade deal with Russia and a friendship pact ("friends with no limits") just 3 weeks before the invasion while Russia had 150k-200k troops surrounding Russia. In addition, US intel picked up communications that Chinese officials had told Russian officials to post-pone the war until after Olympics were over. When the war did start, China went full drive in helping spread Russia disinformation, promoted only pro Russian news inside of China, and earlier in 2023 US intel discovered that Russia had stated China agreed to sell weapons or military equipment to Russia but had to figure out how to hide those shipments. A few weeks ago, after a meeting between Putin & Xi was completed, Xi can be heard telling Putin while both are happily smiling that " “Right now there are changes – the likes of which we haven't seen for 100 years – and we are the ones driving these changes together,”" All this leads me to believe China does in fact support the war. I liked most the discussion around 45min mark and the next couple minutes regarding the US, direction of the world, multi-polar world, BRICS, etc. As an American and voting age in 2001 & 2003 when Afghanistan war & Iraq War started, I can say with some confidence that 2003 Iraq War was a hold over of cold war era mentality. The US certainly changed after that and a full scale war is almost unthinkable anymore. The US now is far less likely to get involved in such wars. I also agree that we are seeing the US coming back strong in world affairs but under a western multilateralism. BRICS, as you stated, is more wishful thinking. Too many countries with very different cultures, goals, and economies for them to ever be a strong a group IMO.

  5586.  @KirkFickert  you do know that russia using a nuke on NATO would mean nukes on Russia. Putin maybe a dictator but those around him want to live and want russia to exist so no way will they allow Putin to drop nukes on NATO. This is why the use of conventional weapons against russia would only be on the soldiers in Ukraine and Black Sea, not in Russia. You understand this, right? Or do you think no one in the military and Putin himself don’t care for the destruction of their country and family? Anyways, the theory is that Russia would use the nuke only if they thought there would be no consequences. They use a nuke strike because Ukraine doesn’t have one. They would no use nukes on NATO.

  5589.  @Lena-vw6ye  so you’re saying Russia is indeed crazy enough to use nuclear with no precedence of nukes beings used in a world with multiple nations having nukes? But you’re saying the US and and Europe won’t respond to Russians nuclear use because there no precedence of the them intervening when a military uses a nuclear weapon. Everyone can see the purposeful terrible logic being use here

  5591.  @Lena-vw6ye  US won’t do anything? Probably because Putin isn’t insane enough to use a nuke which would lead to his country being destroyed.

  5594.  @chadmann2724  are you referring to the taste of Milk or how your stomach handles it? I can’t drink milk when it’s near the expectation date because if starts smelling funny and i get flashbacks to when I was a kid and drank some spoiled milk. But I haven’t noticed if my stomach is bothered more by milk near an expiration date.
    1
  5595.  @chadmann2724  Interesting. I'm going to see if I feel any different between drinking milk that's at least 1 week away from expiration vs milk near or just past it. My symptoms are mild though and erratic. Some days I feel it (4-5 bowel movements in a day and not very solid but no pain) and some days it's normal (2 movements, solid). I should really try to compare the type of milk I buy and the expiration date to see if there is a pattern.

  5598. It seems very obvious that the youth are just anti establishment so if the government feels it's more right wing, then the youth will be left wing. If they fee it's more left wing, the youth will be more right wing. Young people also seem to be less moderate in general -- they tend to grasp on the far left or far right. In the US, both Bernie Sanders and Trump had big support from young people but of course Bernie had more.

  5602. The value of the ruble is artificial at this point. While in the short term, it was needed so that import prices don’t go even more wildly crazy, it comes with major long term impact. Interest rates shot up to 20% which will greatly reduce spending and ability to take loans — most economies are about 50% consumers driven so with interest rising tremendously, that will lead to major economic decline from far less consumer spending. The sanctions will continue to make imports much more expensive thus also declining consumer spending (power). All of this is why Rus is now estimated to decline up to 15% gdp this year.

  5614.  @redthrow9827  Yes, unfortunately it's a trend that keeps getting worse. This channel was not that bad 2 years ago but now it presents everything in much more alarmist way. Same with Real Life Lore but RLL is much worse. They were probably at the same level of alarmist 2 years ago that Caspian Report is today but RLL has gone in over drive. I've recently been following Prof James Ker-Lindsay on Youtube. He "takes an informed look at international relations, conflict, security, and statehood." He also is " a research associate at the London School of Economics and visiting professor at the University of Kent. He holds a PhD in International Conflict Analysis and has published over a dozen books on ethnic conflicts and territorial disputes." So because he's an expert on this and a professor, his videos are done with far less alarmist tone or rhetoric. He usually starts by giving a quick history related to the parties involved, then discusses the history of the current issue by presenting all sides and what we should worry about and not worry about. He only provides his opinion at the very end so it's fairly low on bias until his opinion. He also engages with people in the comment section all the time, usually over a dozen comments. I feel there needs to be more of these type of programs like the Prof.

  5622.  @thomaszhang3101  Germany didn’t face the same issue that also as the same action on plaza accords. And if was simply the adjustments, Japan wouldn’t have continued the flat growth for decades. The many decade long flat growth suggests deeper economic factors such as demographic crisis like China is entering.
    1
  5623.  @thomaszhang3101  Germany wasn’t as dependent on high tech sector? That’s not even relevant - you just found a possible difference and use that justify the lame argument that plaza accord did Japan in rather than admit Japan had deep structural issues mostly related to demographic crisis. It’s been nearly 30 years and Japan is the same. The plaza accords were 37 years ago so to suggest they had anything to do with the last 20 years is just weak.

Ok, I’d the purpose was to protect people from vile influences, they would ban CCP media, right? Obviously the purpose is to prevent people hearing the truth and using prop.agnda to control the population. For example, you say “they never implement it strictly over individual usage”…are you aware the Uyghurs get sent to conc camps for using vpn? Are you aware of the g8nocide happening to Uyghurs?
    1
  5626.  @Stocking_Knight  you’re admitting one of two things. 1. You can’t criticize the govt 2. You are evidence why the great firewall exists, so their prop*ganda works on you and you will obey them. So which is it, number 1 or 2? Are you not able to criticize the govt on what’s happening in Xinjiang or do you support the atrocities?

Then stop ly.ing that the govt censors your news and information out of care for you and the people — you are unable you are unable to criticize the PRC govt and that’s proof their censorship is to control you. Why else can you admit what’s happening in Xinjiang? Starts with “gen” ends in “ocide”. vvumao

  5631.  @Stocking_Knight  and yet once again you refuse to say what’s going on in Xinjiang. You did say the govt censors information but you also said it was to protect the people. I am calling out that lie. And I was right because you refuse to say what’s going on in Xinjiang

  5634.  @Stocking_Knight  “I don’t know about Xinjiangs incident”. So you just proved the purpose of the govt Controlling information and media is so that you don’t know the truth. Then why say it’s protect them people from false information? And you have heard what’s going in Xinjiang but you’re just pretending not to — that’s why you originally responded with an emoji

  5635.  @Stocking_Knight  “censoring for protecting its citizens” and yet you refuse to acknowledge the horrible thing happening in your country. I actually think you support what’s happening in Xinjiang (which is why you used an emoji initially) and you support it because the govt has fed you false information about it. So how is it protecting the citizens if they kept uninformed about the horrible things happening in their country?

  5636.  @Stocking_Knight  “you keep bribing up unrelated topics”. It’s 100% related to your statement where you defended the govt for controlling media and info for the purpose of protecting its citizens

  5637.  @Stocking_Knight  “how does the censoring of certain information relate to Xinjiang”. Then how does the censoring of any information relate to ANYTHING? What are you even asking here and what are you suggesting? It seems like you’re suggesting there is nothing wrong about the population not knowing about horrible things the govt is doing. Is that your argument? Are you really arguing that there is nothing wrong about a population not knowing the horrible things the govt is doing?

  5649.  @Ok-pq5ro  “ I just wanted to inform you that the commentator doesn’t want to switch the subject”. Uh, this all started because he defended the great firewall in China as way of not having false info spread in China. I said the firewall is so they can control people and mislead them — which Is why I brought up Xinjian.

  5650.  @Ok-pq5ro  so, did you even see where he defends the great firewall and censorship by his govt?

  5652.  @cc-ub4qd  lol, sure buddy. He said the great firewall in China isn’t there for the govt to control the people but he said it’s to protect ign.0rant people from vile influences. That’s not true — every country that has very strict control of news and media is because the govt wants to control the people and not tell them the truth. I pointed out as an example that Gen -code in Xinjian and how the govt won’t tell you the truth. He refused to acknowledge what’s going on in Xj and instead actually suggested nothing bad is going on. So, are you also a vvumao? Can you acknowledge the Gen -cide in Xinjian?

  5653.  @cc-ub4qd  let’s not pretend u aren’t a paid account, lol. “This 17 yr old did nothing bad…I too also don’t relive what’s going on In Xinj, I too support the govt controlling all the news and Internet as I have to use vpn to make this comment, I too also don’t believe Tiananmen Square Mass—acre was the govt fault, I too work for .50 RMB

  5654.  @Ok-pq5ro  so, did you go back and read where OP said the great firewall was to protect Chinese against vile influences then when I brought up that it’s so they can control the news and not tell it’s citizens of say the atrocities in Xinjian, he refused to acknowledge what’s going on In XJ and instead suggested it’s Uyghurs fault?

  5660.  @cc-ub4qd  look at this objectively— you come here with an account created today and instantly go to defend your govt controlling the media and information while you have to use a VPN to comment. And then you say you don’t know what’s going on XJ even though you decided to get involved in this conversation? You understand this looks suspicious? You are also proving exactly my point — if you don’t know what your govt is doing in XJ, that’s exactly how they want it and why they control your internet and media.

  5661.  @cc-ub4qd  you don’t think I can use google translate? You just proved to be a vvumao. You literally just defends Chinas gen-cide of Uyghurs. Just because there are Uyghurs in your university doesn’t mean there aren’t Uyghurs in detention facilities. The US had black people in universities even while the US has segregation laws where the black people were not allowed in certain restaurants. So because black people went to universities in the 1960’s and before , are you saying there wasn’t segregation laws in the US

  5664.  @cc-ub4qd  50 RMB army like you said “ASPI said they identified the detention facilities but they are all just elementary schools or places of business but not detention facilities”. Then a Chinese citizen goes around the province of XJ and confirms that ASPI was right and there are detention facilities in those locations. Now you change the story and say “yes, ASPI is right there are facilities but they are just prisons”. If you don’t tell the truth and keep changing the story of about those facilities, you are confirming china is guilty

  5704. I disagree with your view on Romans. The Romans lasted from about 750 BD to 1453 AD, that's some 2100 years. As a major power, probably 250 BC to 1204 when the crusaders essentially destroyed what had remained of the Roman Empire. In addition, they built so much which still stands today and heavily influenced Europe and the near east and northern Africa. Sure the Mongols had a larger empire but it didn't last. And the Chinese...well, is really comparable? "china' has been historically different dynasties often several at one time. "Chinese' was more of a culture like Germanic or Gaul or Arab.

Considering that Chinese currency is only the 5th most used currency and the US is far away above, this is a big problem for China. Or it will be if their economy sees more stagnant long term growth.

If the system has little or no corruption, then it would be a positive. But with a corrupt system, it increases the chances that the animals up for trophy hunting are not past their mating life.

Sure they could all learn Hindi as well as a second language but there probably a couple reasons English is often chosen. The biggest is that if you learn English, you are also learning THE international language. The second is just a guess but perhaps someone say speaking Bengali wouldn’t want Hindi forced on them in order to protect their Bengali language and culture.

  5777.  @CassieAngelica  The video wasn't wrong with the examples they used though. But trying to use some examples to describe welfare as a whole is not good. In regards to higher education, it does seem to benefit the middle class the most when it's subsidized. The solution is just to give a larger disproportionate amount that is spend on public universities to go to financial aid to the poor. "UBI plays directly into the Robin Hood effect, precisely what this segment says is a myth." No, not at all. It would be the opposite. The poor will pay the little into the taxes that fund UBI and thus will greatly benefit the most. The middle class is likely to to get about the same back as they pay into it. The rich will basically be paying for most of the poor's UBI. But Milton did propose something that would start coiming into effect around the time he retired and probably should be used more. He called it 'negative tax' where those earning under a certain amount would have negative income tax rate thus receive money instead of paying that tax. In 1975 the US started the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)...which is basically that. As Wikipedia describes it: - The United States federal earned income tax credit or earned income credit (EITC or EIC) is a refundable tax credit for low- to moderate-income working individuals and couples, particularly those with children. The amount of EITC benefit depends on a recipient's income and number of children. Low income adults with no children are eligible - EITC phases in slowly, has a medium-length plateau, and phases out more slowly than it was phased in.... Basically it incentivizes the poor to work and they get bigger return the more they work because it slowly phases out rather than being a cut off where if a person makes $9999 they get 20% negative tax but at $10,000 they no negative tax.
    1
  5778.  @CassieAngelica  I was not that clear in my original post. It does not play into the robin hood as defined in this video. The video was mostly about the middle class benefiting. That's what I was getting at. UBI would indeed benefit the poor but again, I was pointing out that it will not be the same as descried in this video where the middle class are the main beneficiaries. When I said " The rich will basically be paying for most of the poor's UBI." , I was trying to describe how that would be different than examples in the video. But UBI is problematic and not the solution -- at least not anytime soon. It will not incentivize people to work which is why the negative tax or Earned Income Tax Credit in the US is better option. It pays poor people that actually work. UBI will be something to discuss if or when automation and AI and other advances start actually reducing jobs needed.
    1
  5779.  @CassieAngelica  In the US, Increase earned income tax credit instead of increases in other welfare programs. Well, some other welfare programs do need an increase but in general, the EITC should be the first option. Straight government financial support can be a little over the top. Food stamp (or SNAP or whatever) is important as that's a very very basic and important need. But money they often receive for not working for long periods of times needs to be reduced and replaced with EITC. . In regards to education, that's a bit more complicated. there needs to be some better regulation to reduce costs of universities. But in addition to that, reduce subsidizing middle class and above and instead offer more financial support to the poor who attend college. But of course, that's only if they can reduce costs of universities so that's why it's more complicated. The $400b+ student debt bailout has also gone mostly to middle class and above. I think that is indeed disproportionately paying those in the middle class or that will be middle class and above.

  5780.  @CassieAngelica  In short, I generally don't like ideological policies. Maybe those are the easiest to get support because people generally just stick to ideologies but it shouldn't be like that.
    1
  5781.  @CassieAngelica  "half-measures within half-measures" is what ideological types always respond with. Everything must be done that very left wing way (or very right wing way when it's right wingers). "all policies are ideological," I disagree but Even if they are, you are missing the forest for the trees which i expected you to miss the point. Let's say they all policies are ideological. The point is that leftist and far right wingers for the most part ONLY support something that aligns with their ideological view even if the results can be better achieved in a different way. The Earned Income Tax Credit is a great example. Research shows that it is better than raising the min wage (I'm not saying min wage doesn't need to also be raised) but most leftist will support the raising of min wage over EITC out of pure ideology even when the research shows the effectiveness of EITC. So that's the point I'm making about ideology. I probably have 90%+ shared end goals as you but I'm not ideologically very left like you.
    1
  5782.  @CassieAngelica  You are the one literally playing a team here. You are clearly exactly what I described -- an ideological person that doesn't care about facts or research so you need a policy that lines up well with your ideology. Let's take 'eliminating poverty'. That's what communist wanted and tried to do. yet all they got was most of the people all being poor. Are you going to say that wanting to 'eliminate poverty' means that policies must be done a very left wing method? Just look at China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan -- they were all very poor (China, Taiwan and SK were actually among the poorest in the world). They eliminated so much poverty. But guess what, they didn't use strongly left wing policies. In fact, China dropped it communist economies and became mostly capitalist and at times libertarian capitalist with some policies. So did Mao era China with trying to 'eliminate poverty' with huge welfare mean he was more successful and reducing poverty than post-Mao China where they embraced a lot of polices that would be center or right of center? Are you more interested in ideology or actually getting results?

Have permanent container but buy drinks, non edible liquids such as soaps and shampoos and cleaning products, liquid ingredients such as oils/vinegars/sauces, etc

Russia invaded its former puppet states and bullies others. Yet somehow it’s not Russia fault that most of Eastern Europe wanted to join nato to protect themselves against the authoritarian aggressive Russia?!

All while Xi's policies on other matters that effect housing have worsened the problem? I agree it needed to be deflated but the issue gets much worse with Xi driving down the economy with many of his policies so now there will be a hit on the housing market at the same time the economic growth is shrinking relatively fast.

  5805.  @TheSmart-CasualGamer  the videos are good enough to stand on their own without clickbait titles? No they are not because quality isn’t the only thing that draws views. Titles are a HUGE part of drawing views. Quality keeps the the main viewers coming back but titles is what brings in new viewers and what brings in the off and on viewers. It’s sadly how YouTube works.

  5806.  @Menno_3  valid constructive criticism would mean first understanding how YouTube works. You people are complaining about click baity titles but have little understanding of how YouTube works. Quality keeps viewers coming back but titles are extremely important to bring in new viewers which this Channel needs. And most importantly,, this title is about as weak of click bait as you will see. It’s the wrong video to bring up click baity titles. I follow man my other news type of programs and they all are forced to use some click bait titles. This is barely even one compared to what is normally seen on YouTube. I read all the comments above you and I don’t think one offered valid constructive criticism. Just complaints like yours.

  5809.  @rylandrc  Okay, I get you know. I opened up the video on incognito window. It was a top 2 comment when I first commented when this video was already over a day old. Since then it's no longer even on the first page of whatever the default sort that YT uses. I don't now how YT sorts but I imagine it's a combination of number of likes and the like to dislike ration. But then I was about to press 'reply', I notice I can't even find the comment. So it probably got removed by the YT system for some key words which I have seen comments disappear like that.

  5814.  @UmbraHand  so a channel that is focuses in geopolitics has over half the content being about China and you don’t think there is such a thing as being too repetitive?

  5815.  @UmbraHand  China isn’t even more than half of the worlds economy if you remove the US and yet 50% of content from Polymatter is from China. He’s literally got two different videos on the Housing market of China in just the past 2 years. He’s also got 2 on chinas demographic problem from the one child policy in past 2 years. When do you get your 50 cents?

  5816. "No, China has not benefited from this". China singed a huge energy deal with Russia and signed a friendship pact with Russia two weeks before the invasion while Russia had 150,000+ troops surrounding Ukraine. An invasion that intel suggest was delayed until after the Olympics to not distract from China's Olympics. They benefited based on their desire to cause pain on the west -- but you are right, if you remove that benefit that only is a benefit for Xi, China has not benefited from this.

  5817.  @TheGoldenEagle03  from one veteran of the US Army on War games: - I have never played the role of OPFOR (Opposing Forces) in a Military Exercise where we haven't utterly kicked the sh1t out of BLUFOR (US/NATO). I have played OPFOR in STEX Lanes we hold at the Battalion and Company Level. I have also played OPFOR in exercises similar to the ones held at JRTC/NTC, which are one or more Brigades (3500+ People) in a large scale simulated fight against one or more Enemy Brigades. - Spoiler Alert, BLUFOR always loses. Badly. Sometimes they actually achieve their objectives, but the cost is so high it would actually be considered a loss by the general public. Mostly though, they get put through a grinder that their leadership, or TRADOC leadership, uses to shape future Army Training and Equipment needs. *These types of exercises are stacked against BLUFOR from the start.*

  5821.  @blijebij  And even if not every single person who voted 'proud' really thought about the question, the most telling piece of information is the discrepancy between the numbers from the Dutch and those of other European countries that had colonial empires. youguv has a poll and may not be the same as the video but gives you a general idea. Asked "would you like Netherlands (insert their country) to still have an Empire". 26% said yes and 45% said no. So in that poll, less than half would outright say no and 26% would right say yes.

Youguv has a poll where they asked people "Would you like Netherlands (insert their country name) to still have an Empire". 26% of the Dutch outright said YES and only under 50% (45%) would outright say NO. Italy was 14% yes and 71% outright NO. Germany (only 1871-1918 empire) was 9% yes and 66% outright NO. Japan was 7% yes and 70% outright no. Netherlands had the lowest that outright said no. UK, by 1%, had highest that outright said yes with 50% outright no. Spain & France had 62% & 59% that outright said NO.

Nah, it's just there excuse to take lands like they did in Crimea and sort of did with Georgia. Now they take land of Ukraine through annexing 4 provinces. ". If the Ukrainian government had stayed loyal to Moscow, there wouldn't be any war." You mean if they remained a puppet of Moscow, right? Why are you defending Russia?
    1
  5826. @WhoDis quoting is so you know exactly what comment I’m replying to. You’re not defending Russia yet argued Ukraine should have stayed under control of Russia and argued NATO is controlled by US in a way that the rest of Europe has no agency. Sounds a lot like Moscow rhetoric
    1
  5827. @WhoDis "The existence of Ukraine depends on its neutral status, " But they tried that after 2010 when they withdrew NATO application. And then in 2014 Russia didn't like that Ukraine wanted to make an economic deal with EU so after the revoluation, Russia stole Crimea and sent their private army in the Donbas region. Russia didn't want Ukraine to be neutral, they wanted Ukraine to be controlled by Russia. Oh, Russia also poisoned their president in 2004 for being to western which is what lead to the NATO application a couple years late.

  5828. @WhoDis ", I think there should be negotiations rather than a continuous proxy war between the NATO and Russia, for the sake of the Ukrainians, and stability in the region." How about we let Ukrainians decide? Nah, can't let that happen!

  5831. @WhoDis most people don’t want to fight? The overwhelming number of Ukrainians support UKRAINE fighting. Just more evidence your a moscow worker. Asking for peace negotiations? Russia isn’t going to give up any of the land they annexed at this point. Have you gone insane?

  5850.  @jaybee4577  “using electricity consumption is lying”. Well, they didn’t use electrify consumption but amount of light so you’re wrong. And the study was conducted then peer reviewed by experts and not someone working for Beijing like you.
    1
  5851.  @jaybee4577  ". I just said electricity consumption can’t be used to judge if a country is lying about their economy or not." That's literally the point of PEER reviewed research to demonstrate how a country likely is lying about their GDP using LIGHTS (not electricity consumption). " You don’t need much electricity if you are pumping out minerals resources, and selling it to make money and grow your economy" I don't think you understand the importance of the lights. The lights signal increase wealth of the people. Poorer countries have fewer lights which can take many forms -- fewer street lights, fewer commercial centers, etc. There is some variation due to many factors discussed in the M&M video but it gets you a rough estimate. So if China was 60% below, than it's true GDP is likely not going to be anywhere near the reported GDP. It doesnt mean it's exactly 60% below -- think more like it's 60% below give or take 10%pts (i.e. 50-70% below) with 95% confidence.

  5853.  @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
  5854.  @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.

  5857. A knife isn't lethal if you are 15 feet away. If you claim that he can throw it, then why did they not shoot him the exact moment they they arrived? Officers encounter people with knifes often...they don't always shoot them. They use judgement based on distance and other factors. However, all this convo is moot if the cops didn't have a taser that could shoot 20 or 30 feet.

  5861.  @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.

  5862. Who said 'Europe is doing just fine'? I said 'starting to turn things around'. They made a bonehead mistake for 2-3 years, arguing back and forth, not doing much other than cutting spending...and now, after some very negative results the past 2 years, have pulled a 180 and began bailouts and stimulus spending. They are 2-3 years behind the US in terms of recovery. That's whey they are at negative growth and the US has been at 2-3% growth for a few quarters.

  5864.  @rjfaber1991  It's tricky because unless Ethiopia pays a lot of money, Somaliland is giving up land and it would get Ethiopia in better position to attack Somaliland if it ever decides to. But, if Ethiopia pays a lot and or offers some other great benefits, a possible narrow strip to the coast might make sense. It would reduce the threat compared to a bigger land area. I believe Bosnia and Herzegovina have such a small strip of access to the sea through Croatia. This only works if Ethiopia can be trusted.

  5865.  @rjfaber1991  I think shared interest in a port and railroad to it would be fine BUT I highly doubt Ethiopia's leader want's that little. I'm hoping he does but that did come to mind but I just don't think it's a realistic option.
    1
  5866.  @rjfaber1991  The reason I don't think the shared interest in a port and railroad would suffice is that Ethiopia came out aggressive on this. if the request was that simple, I think they would have avoided such an aggressive approach.

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.

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

  5898.  @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. Obama asked China to reel in North Korea and China got upset with US for having naval training exercises near North Korea. China wouldn’t reel in NK and wouldn’t allow US and SK to do anything to deter NK

  5901.  @schwanish8799  “if we talk trade”. That isn’t how dislike or like works. They have polling literally asking the people and favorable opinions on China are only around 5-30% per country in the east and south east compared to the US which is in the 65-90% range in those same countries. So why is that? Why don’t they have favorable opinions of Beijing?
    1
  5902.  @schwanish8799  even if you don’t answer why Chinas neighbors to the east and SE have unfavorable views of Beijing, I’m glad you agree they problematic and should be a concern to everyone. We just disagree how they got there
    1
  5903.  @schwanish8799  saw a non visible comment from u. You say “I do not believe Xi is scary from a Chinese perspective”. This isn’t about the Chinese perspective - the people just believe what the govt tells them and the govt controls all in-fo. Once you answer why all of Chinas neighbors on the east/SE have unfavorable views of Beijing you will have your answers.
    1
  5904.  @schwanish8799  u also mentioned “media propaganda in China is not so great at 🧠 washîng because the Chinese grew up not trusting it — yet, they believe almost everything the govt says on foreign affairs, Chinese revisionist history, that nothing is happening in Xinjiang, etc. How can you say they don’t believe it yet they believe all the important things?

  5910.  @schwanish8799  “the my are more immune because they have more experience”. That’s exactly what wü.mà0 would day. Taiwan and Japan wore masks like China but they don’t have state controlling everything. It’s a culturally thing with the masks. But people of China and urself relate literal govt talking points. If the govt said masks are bad, people would stop wearing the masks in China.

  5911.  @schwanish8799  “logically all neighbors in E/SE and C/S have unfavorable views of US and China”. That’s Beijing talking points. US actually has favorable ratings in most (nearly all) of Latin America.
    1
  5912.  @schwanish8799  so u weren’t honest about the US favorable rating in Central American and about Chinas unfavorable rating in Asia. Not surprising u claim distrust in polls from the most respected polling firm considering it doesn’t match the Beijing talking points

  5916.  @yingfengxuan  u r not clear at all. So u do agree that Taiwan is an independent ROC? Yes Taiwan issue is result of Civil war just like North Korea and South Korea.

  5923.  @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.
    1
  5924.  @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) . They tried with SK in 2018 for having military drills.

  5926.  @schwanish8799  "Japan was cut down in the 1980s" Typical myth from the see see pee. Sure, there was some concern and some actions but Japan actually supported many of those actions because the US and Europe offered something in return. In fact, your description suggest it destroyed Japan which it didn't - false narrative of you see see pee bosses. Japan was manipulating their currency so it was fair that Europe and US responded. But they ended up on an agreement.

  5929.  @tairanwang6119  what’s your opinion on PRC having no free speech or press? And your opinion on the Hong Kong oppression?
    1
  5930.  @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
    1
  5931.  @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

  5932.  @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

  5944.  @pawejankowski9364  Thrilled about what direction specifically? Why are you cheering on China's oppressive and aggressive regime? Why do you want them to become a new super power? You like people having no rights? No ability to protest? Having all information and news controlled by the government? You like that China may invade the peaceful country of Taiwan and that China is trying to steal the south china sea? I don't understand why people would cheer on such a government, especially as they have proven they side with evil by defending Russia's invasion.
    1
  5945.  @pawejankowski9364  "And furthermore, China and USA ARE have the same goal in mind, only they use different means of achieving them." Not even remotely true. The west and US are more interested in democracy, individual rights, human rights, and a more rule based system. China is more interested in aggression, conquering, and suppressing people's rights. " Like tiktok: it's their first own idea. " Actually when Tiktok started it was just Vine with a better algorithm. They just made it longer than the 7s or whatever Vine did. "And also, what You see as oppressive is also partially based on the difference in philosophy between West and East. " Oh, i've heard this a million times from those that defend oppression. "Conc camps of Uyhgurs is okay, it's just a difference in phillopsophy between West & East". Or "the state controlling all news and information and jailing anyone that speaks out against the state is okay, it's just a difference in philopsophy!" Same with other rights -- gay rights, womens rights, minority rights, etc. The west and US certainly have issues and even when they value something, it doesn't mean they always uphold those values. But it's still much better than China. No good will come to this world if China invades taiwan, China steals the South China Sea, China supports Russia and other terrible actors, China uses it's influence to erode democracy and rights in other countries, etc.

  5946.  @pawejankowski9364  "You believe the USA has good intentions for the world" There is no black and white -- it's a spectrum. What Assange & Snowden did would have had them receive a bullet to the head by Ch-na and their families possibly punished as well. So how can you can say Ch-ina isn't worst? You prtent to care for Assange and Snownden yet support a country that is far worse on that? Good one ol' chap. "There have been no greater human rights activists at least since MLK, if not longer" No idea what you're arguing here. The civil rights movement is no longer based on individuals but groups and larger movements. MLK would have received a bullet to the head by Ch-na if he did that there. How is Ch-na better?

  5947. So criminals aren't importing their guns but rather are getting them from within the US. Think about what that means... means that smuggling guns INTO the US is much more difficult than getting the guns from within. I.E., if guns were banned in the US & criminals would have to get them from the cartels, it would be a much more difficult path for criminals. Otherwise, they would already be smuggling guns in. It's exactly what Blahb was saying. You are to ignorant on the subject matter to continue

  5963.  @sid-fp6bi  like typical Beijing worker, u bring up the US having police in other countries while ignoring those police have approval, are open, and are often invited as training programs. Nice try. This is about china running SECRET police stations without that host government approval.
    1
  5964.  @sid-fp6bi  ​ and if anyone is interested in how mis info accounts work, look at Sid comment at the top here. He’s aware of the US police stations and locations which most people aren’t. So if he’s aware of those details, he fully knows that those police stations are working with the local governments and invited. He also knows Chinas police station were not invited and are in secret. So how do you mislead people as part of a pro CCP prop-gânda? Ignore lots of relevant information and make a simple comment that US is like China with both having police stations abroad.

  5995.  @yulusleonard985  you’re arguing that thinking concentration camps are Evil is a judeo Christian morality thought? How evil is eastern politic?! 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.

  5996.  @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.

  5997.  @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.

  5998.  @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)

  6002.  @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.

  6004.  @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.

  6013.    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nazi_Germany The Great Depression had spurred increased state ownership in most Western capitalist countries. This also took place in Germany during the last years of the Weimar Republic.[39] However, after the Nazis took power, industries were privatized en masse. Several banks, shipyards, railway lines, shipping lines, welfare organizations, and more were privatized.[40] The Nazi government took the stance that enterprises should be in private hands wherever possible.[41] State ownership was to be avoided unless it was absolutely necessary for rearmament or the war effort, and even in those cases “the Reich often insisted on the inclusion in the contract of an option clause according to which the private firm operating the plant was entitled to purchase it.”

  6024.  @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
    1
  6025.  @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

  6027.  @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.

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.

  6032.  @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.

  6033.  @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
  6034.  @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.

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.

My two only problems right now are there are no comment sections over there (which is why I occasionally check in here to see comments) and they need more creators.

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.

  6084. @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.

  6086. @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.

    1
  6087. @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
  6088. @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
  6089. @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.

  6090. @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. 9. As another source, you used The Grayzone. Mediabaisfactcheck has them as untrustworthy and far left and said of them “A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for profit or influence (Learn More). Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact-checked on a per-article basis” 10. You trust more a g/f that doctors up a video making it looked like you went to a strip club than a g/f that said she believes you went 400 times to strip club but in actuality it was just 396 times you went. 11. You demand I answer over 20 questions (most already answered) of yours or else you consider me a bot while all I ask is you support your lies and hypocrisy or else you are a bot. 12. You use Carr from Australia as a source even though he has connections to the CCP and Carr never even provides evidence that ASPI lied on the Uyghur genocide. And you wonder why people think you are a CCP shill.
    1
  6091. @agapp11able go through your article? I did! You can literally control F and you won’t find Uyghur used by any of the Australian politicians. Your link has nothing to do with evidence on Uyghurs — and most importantly, the two main people are a socialist and someone with ties for the CCP. Lol

  6092. @agapp11able what does native genocide or gitmo have to do with anything? You Wumaos think you can only be against uyghur genocide or native genocide? WTF?
    1
  6093. @agapp11able what do you mean “lying about not noticing what I googled to get statista link”? Statista literally proved me right that Japan has the most foreign owned debt and China is just 3% not “‘majority”. WTH is wrong with you?

  6094. @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.

  6095. @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
  6096. @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
  6097. @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
  6098. @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
  6099. @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?
    1
  6100. @agapp11able the grayzone has an story titled “The US is turning oil-rich Nigeria into a proxy for its Africa wars” where is the evidence that this is true?
    1
  6101. @agapp11able holy sh-t! Grayzone blames NATO and defends Russia over Russia invading Ukraine! Bro, you really this trashy to use such a source? And before the invasion started this week, grayzone wrote “US and UK escalate Russia war fever”. Wow, not once calling 150,000 troops on Ukraine border an escalation?!?
    1
  6102. @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? Lol, you’re arguing that the only thing you accept is highly pro CCP bias sites that fake news like CCP media and grayzone?
    1
  6103. @agapp11able do you think it would be reasonable for anyone to use as a source a media company run by Trump who the topic is accusations against trump?
    1
  6104. @agapp11able NYT lied about xinjiang papers? Source? why didn’t you answer the question? 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.
    1
  6105. @agapp11able why didn’t you answer the question? 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.

  6106. @agapp11able what source did you provide on NYT lying about Xinjiang papers? I do NOT get notifications for most of your replies and I just went through the comments and didn’t see it. Post it again
    1
  6107. @agapp11able you think it’s reasonable to use as THE primary source of a defense fro Trump a publication that is owned and fully controlled by Trump where the publication never criticize a trump? That’s is your position?
    1
  6108. @agapp11able Twitter threads? Holy shit, do you read Chinese?! I know which CCP shill you mean since it’s been posted on Reddit by Wumaos even though non Wumaos debunked the Wumaos.
    1
  6109. @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.
    1
  6110. @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? They follow them everywhere, put up road blocks so they can’t see some of the camps, they ask them to show identification at 1 am while they sleep, they block their cameras, etc.
    1
  6111. @agapp11able https://youtu.be/ULaJVWOr4ko More of the CCP blocking journalists and not allowing investigations
    1
  6112. @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
  6113. @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
  6114. @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
  6115. @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
  6116. @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
  6117. @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
  6118. @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
  6119. @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
  6120. @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
  6121. @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
  6122. @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
  6123. @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.
    1
  6124. @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
  6125. @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
  6126. @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
  6127. @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
  6128. @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
  6129. @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?

  6130. @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?

  6131. @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?
    1
  6132. @agapp11able also, where is your source that people can’t take pics of Chinese prisons from outside?
    1
  6133. @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?

  6134. @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?

  6135. @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
  6136. @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.
    1
  6137. @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.

  6138. @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
  6139. @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
  6140. @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
  6141. @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
  6142. @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
  6143. @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
  6144. @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
  6145. @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
  6146. @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
  6147. @agapp11able you’re thanking me for continuing to show your troll tactics?! That’s odd.
    1
  6148. @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
  6149. @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
  6150. @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
  6151. @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
  6152. @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
  6153. @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
  6154. @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
  6155. @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.

  6160.  @christopherg2347  " Proorer people need 50-600% redundancy children, because of higher child mortality.". That's not true. Child mortality rates are not that high in most countries with explosive population growth. It use to be in past but not anymore. It's usually because cultures take time to adapt and change so historically what you said was true but not today though that mentality hasn't changed in many parts of the world.

  6161.  @christopherg2347  You aren't making any sense. You said "poorer people need 50-600% redundancy children, because of higher child mortality.". Then why do some of the poorer countries have high fertility rates and VERY fast growing populations? Is it maybe because they they don't need to have that many kids anymore to counter the child mortality rates? Eygypt has increased it's population by 10x in 100 years. That's many generations that kept having far more children then the mortality rates. Nigeria has had 8x growth in population over last 70 years.

If social media start discussing something that is damaging to the CCP, they will ban those discussions.

  6174. @Ahmed Parlance “Internment camps”. They are concentration camps. Mass torture is happening and it’s used to 🧠 wash them plus forced sterilization. Internment camp would just be a prison (often for political oppositions, prisoners of wars, etc) but once mass torture and “re education” and force sterilization happens, it’s upgraded to concentration camps. And if you don’t think China is bad for locking up millions of innocent from your ethnic group and subjecting them to torture while also attempting to destroy the culture of the millions who haven’t been sent you be camps, then I’m fairly certain you aren’t a Uyghur.

    1
  6181. @Ahmed Parlance btw, China has imprisoned well over 2 million Uyghurs and subjected most to torture. These were completely innocent Muslims — only sent to the camps because they are Muslims. This is on their own population BTW. When American Muslims committed terrorism in the US, they didn’t send millions to the camps. That’s the difference between the US and China. China will punish millions of innocent citizens of their countries for the actions of a few while the US didn’t go after millions of American Muslims when American Muslims committed terrorism. Why do u support evil? I’m guessing it’s obvious that you aren’t Muslims or Uyghur.
    1
  6182. @Ahmed Parlance you’re right, no way to tell that millions of Muslims in Xinjiang were suddenly picked up and sent to camps in a few short years are being detained because they are mostly…..if we ignore that China is also destroying thousands of mosques and ignore that it’s not just Uyghurs but also Kazakhs. Uzbeks and other Muslim in Xinjiang. What happened to Kashgar’s Grand Mosque? And why won’t China allow foreigners and journalists to get any where near almost all the 380 identified camps? If they are just schools, shouldn’t be an issue. But hey, you make up a story about you being Muslim Uyghur.

  6183. @Ahmed Parlance you said you are r-cist towards to Americans and then you ask “how am I r-c1st?”. U - R the worst 50 center. The real r-c1st is the one with millions of innocent Muslims in camps and then denying that atrocity.

  6184. @Ahmed Parlance "is still detaining an unknown number of civilians without trial" They sure are and I think it's a problem. But these are people captured with terrorists' or are terrorist so the vast majority are indeed guilty. Unlike the evil China you defend that just rounds up anyone who is Muslim in Xinjiang. That's an extra level of evil. No wonder they support Evil Putin.

  6185. @Ahmed Parlance And you mention how black people are treated in the US. In China they openly put up signs saying no black people. They also use blackface on tv and have commercials suggesting black people are dirty. And China has sent millions of innocent Muslims to camps to be tortured. As for the Central American Migrants, China doesn't even allow immigrants, especially those who try to cross into the country illegally or want refugee status. So I guess the US is bad for not accepting millions MORE of illegals or refugees while China is good for not allowing any of them??

  6186. @Ahmed Parlance "Ukrainians who fight against Russian invasion and occupation are heroes! Slava Ukraina! But Middle Easterners who fought against American invasion and occupation are "terrorists" Except that Afghanistan attacked the US while Ukraine did not attack nor threaten to attack Russia. So basically you just admitted you support evil. You think any war to defend yourself is bad if the country defending themselves made no threats and was peaceful so long as the opposition is evil (Russia). But you also think defending yourself is good when first attacked another country using terrorism. So you support terrorism (Taliban) and you support land grab invasions with war crimes (Russia). How do you live with yourself?

  6232.  @MrJanes-cl5sj  The same balloon that China said nothing about until the US came out publicy and blamed China? China didn't even acknowledge it when it was in the news that a balloon was spotted -- it was only after the US govt publicly stated it was Chinese that China came forward. It had collection pod equipment, including high-tech equipment that could collect communications signals and other sensitive information, and solar panels located on the metal truss suspended below the balloon. It had equipment that was "clearly for intelligence surveillance," including "multiple antennas" that were "likely capable of collecting and geo-locating communications,"
    1
  6233.  @MrJanes-cl5sj  Also, it was able to be maneuvered. Video of the balloon showed small motors and multiple propellers that allowed China to actively maneuver the balloon over specific locations. The balloons are part of what the official called a fleet of balloons developed to conduct surveillance, and flights are often undertaken at the direction of the Chinese military.

  6235.  AileDiablo  "So then China can just siege and blockade Taiwan." How will they accomplish this? They will need to build up a military and be ready to do that -- after Russia put 200k troops around Ukraine and governments thought they wouldn't, China doing something that large would already send everyone into defense position. So before China can siege & blockade Taiwan, the US & Japan and other allies will move navy ships in/near Taiwan. Will China attack the US and Japan first? Will they go to all out war? And while China is mobilizing those troops, sanctions and other penalties will be undertaken as well as defense preparation. Plus, what you described would make them such an international pariah that they would be considered worse than Russia.
    1
  6236.  AileDiablo  Taiwan is indeed an island which makes it much harder to invade than Ukraine which shares a large land border Russia. England being on an island is why it was nearly impossible to invade. The weapons & tactics you are describing are so horrific that China would be much worse than Putin's Russia. You are describing nuclear war.

    1
  6240.  @SuperCrow02  there are multiple ways to adress it and and if you look it up, all experts say the solution include much higher increase in sanctions with support from China and India as well as an all out assault on Russian troops in Ukraine. That assault on Russian troops can be directly from the US/NATO or US/NATO giving Ukraine access to the top weapons. Instead of 50km HIMARS, it would be 300km HIMARS so all Russian troops in Ukraine are now easily hit. They would give them advance missile system. Possibly advance drones. Etc. Would russia respond with nukes on NATO? I don’t know, does russia want Russia to be destroyed with nukes as well?
    1
  6241.  @SuperCrow02  also, lots of people who don’t really think this out don’t realize how dangerous it would be to not punish Russia if they used nukes. Without punishment, it sets the standard now that using nukes on offense has almost no major negative consequences thus nothing to stop Russia doing it on all other countries who don’t have nukes as well as other countries with nukes doing the same. Imagine China now using nukes to take Taiwan, the South China Sea and much more.

  6242.  @SuperCrow02  do you think Putin is so evil he doesn’t care that millions of Russian would die in nuclear attacks if Putin uses nukes on NATO? Do you think every person that would be involved in approving and following through on the orders to use nukes also are so terrible they don’t care for the lives of millions and millions of Russians dying in a nuke attack? My point is that Putin will push as far as he can until the point it means nukes on Russia. If there is no military response to Russia using nukes in Ukraine, Putin will keep taking everything he wants by using nukes.
    1
  6243.  @SuperCrow02  such sanctions as you describe are likely impossible— it would require China and India and others to not buy Russian oil or gas. That may be impossible. They might agree to some cut backs or sanctions on other Russian goods but ultimately that wouldn’t be enough to completely shut down Russia. You know what Russians value more than their money? Their lives. So Russian would put up with 10% or 20% decline in gdp to keep fighting in Ukraine and to use nukes but they won’t put up with deaths of millions of Russian civilians. You agree?

Just to confirm I’m not dealing with Ivan from Russia, please confirm whether you think Putin and those around him care zero about having millions of Russian dead from nukes if Putin decided to use nukes on NATO? You keep ignoring that question but you highly suggest Putin and those who make the decisions will use nukes first on the west even knowing it would destroy Russia.

  6246.  @SuperCrow02  just seems to me you are indeed Ivan from Russia.

They are all saying the same story — US Likely would respond with aerial campaigns to take out all Russian positions in Ukraine and Black Sea.

  6258. @莱克多巴猪 oh, for half a dollar u probably can’t see the difference between me being against the shootings and u supporting gé-n0c-îde

  6259.  @kimcarrier9834  you just named two parts of China making my point that downriver outside of China is where they are suffering. Y do u support the camps in Xinjiang? Side note, I loved Yunnan. Beautiful area and the people there in the remote areas have a great culture

  6260. @莱克多巴猪 so you support the gê.n0cide and then make a joke about camps?

  6261. @莱克多巴猪 why don’t the west send the troops to fight in Ukraine? So that u can say “see, u people got involved and don’t care for peace.” This is the worst comment I’ve seen

  6262. @莱克多巴猪 honestly, y support the gê.n0c.ïde?

  6263.  @kimcarrier9834  what does “the ignorant are innocent” mean in the context of this discussion?
    1
  6264.  @kimcarrier9834  also, you mention the Chinese rich technology (like the three Gorges dam) and that things aren’t on equal footing — this is you actually admitting that Beijing is doing horrible things to south East Asia but you approve it because might makes right
    1
  6265.  @kimcarrier9834  that last post of urs is hard to read. Not sure what ur saying. All I see is .50 RMB Worker defending everything about China while admitting the horrible things they do but justifying it because might makes right
    1
  6266.  @kimcarrier9834  do u actually support the gë.n0cide in Xinjiang or just paid to support it?
    1
  6267.  @kimcarrier9834  and i see you sub to The Grayzone. That tells me everything. It’s fake media who ONLY supports Chinas and Russia and ONLY criticizes the west. So the sources you use are the worst and highly bias. Also, you sub to a pro MAO channel? Wow, so surprising
    1
  6268.  @kimcarrier9834  you’re saying that 100 years ago people knew and cared about the environmental impact of dams? Also, you sub to grayzone which is the worse “news” source. They are paid by Russia to defend Russia and China
    1
  6269. @莱克多巴猪 why do u support gë.n0c.íde?
    1
  6270. @莱克多巴猪 y do support invasion of peaceful state, Taiwan?

  6276.  @kimcarrier9834  sure they did. The evidence was from porn. I think you were looking up a different “BBC”. I don’t expect you to be 聪明的 enough to know the difference

I love the see see pee — I love how they threaten to invade Taiwan, love how they are trying to steal the south sea and East Sea, love their concentration camps of millions of innocent Muslims, love their oppression and lack of free speech and press, love how they defended Russia in its invasion, love how they are taking the water from the Mekong River, etc etc

  6281. @莱克多巴猪 what food shortage? You mean the great famine that lead to deaths of tens of millions because Mao communized the economy and sold much of the food to Soviets so Mao can stay in power?

  6282. @莱克多巴猪 yes, bbc is fake. So what is your source of news? Come on, tell me where you get your news?

  6283. @莱克多巴猪 I’m very strongly in support of stronger gun control. Hey, why won’t you tell me what news sources you use?

  6284. @莱克多巴猪 I already know all the see see pee tro||s work the same — you will say you can’t trust this media or they media and then never tell us your sources because you know it’s the worst sources (Chinese state controlled media)

  6285. @莱克多巴猪 I cant understand your post. Are you saying you do get your news from bbc?

  6287. @莱克多巴猪 Chinese media only relates Russian propaganda in China. So, why are you unable to answer what news sources you use?

  6288. @莱克多巴猪 you sound very guilty when you can’t answer what news media you use. I’ve never seen someone look so guilty

  6289. @莱克多巴猪 contact must specifically state you can’t tell people your sources are the Chinese government itself, eh? Why else refuse to answer?
    1
  6290.  @kimcarrier9834  first of all, regarding your comment on no shortage of drinking water in China. Northern China has a shortage of water which is why it was controversial that 2022 Winter Olympics were held in Beijing area because they had to waste lots of water to make fake ice. Second of all, China has to import a massive amount of food.
    1
  6291.  @kimcarrier9834  what news sources do you use for your news information?
    1
  6292. @莱克多巴猪 got it. So your sources are just yourself — you why to the Mekong River, spoke with the engineers and scientists, collected data and analyzed it yourself? You went to Xinjiang , spoke to thousands of Uyghurs on their experience, visited the “facilities”, spoke to the victims in those camps, and analyzed all the data? Otherwise you’re telling me you got your information from the Chinese state propganda media
    1
  6293.  @kimcarrier9834  “google” is not an answer. That’s what you use to find other news sources. So what are your typical news sources?
    1
  6294.  @kimcarrier9834  “China Is Running Out of Water and That’s Scary for Asia” “Yet China’s natural abundance is a thing of the past. As Michael Beckley and I argue in our forthcoming book, “The Danger Zone,” Beijing has blown through many of its resources. A decade ago, China became the world’s largest importer of agricultural goods. Its arable land has been shrinking due to degradation and overuse. Breakneck development has also made China the world’s largest energy importer: It buys three-quarters of its oil abroad at a time when America has become a net energy exporter. China’s water situation is particularly grim. As Gopal Reddy notes, China possesses 20% of the world’s population but only 7% of its fresh water. Entire regions, especially in the north, suffer from water scarcity worse than that found in a parched Middle East.” “Thousands of rivers have disappeared, while industrialization and pollution have spoiled much of the water that remains. By some estimates, 80% to 90% of China’s groundwater and half of its river water is too dirty to drink; more than half of its groundwater and one-quarter of its river water cannot even be used for industry or farming.” “This is an expensive problem. China is forced to divert water from comparatively wet regions to the drought-plagued north; experts assess that the country loses well over $100 billion annually as a result of water scarcity. Shortages and unsustainable agriculture are causing the desertification of large chunks of land. Water-related energy shortfalls have become common across the country.” “By building a series of giant dams on the Mekong River, Beijing has triggered recurring droughts and devastating floods in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Laos that depend on that waterway. The diversion of rivers in Xinjiang has had devastating downstream effects in Central Asia.” “In other words, the thirstier China is, the more geopolitically nasty it could get.”
    1
  6295.  @kimcarrier9834  so like a typical 五毛, you won’t answer what are your news sources.
    1
  6296. @莱克多巴猪 unlike you who Is on a contact that states you can’t tell people what news sources you use, I have no problem stating my sources. Some examples are AP, REUTERS, France24, NYT (not the opinion pieces), NPR, PBS and for Middle East news Al Jazzera but that’s just to get an understanding of their opinions (AJ isn’t high on factual reporting). A few other as well but that’s the biggest ones I can think of. Now your turn…..😂
    1
  6297.  @kimcarrier9834  you ignored all the information detailing their water issue and how they are diverting water away from Mekong because of their water issues? I’ve never seen such a hardcore 五毛
    1
  6298.  @kimcarrier9834  can you name any serious criticism of Chinas government? Assuming u can contractually make such criticism
    1
  6299.  @kimcarrier9834  cultural revolution and Great Leap Forward the CCP already acknowledged it was bad. Shanghai government? You don’t mean CCP/Xi?? Seems like you avoided criticizing Xi/CCP on major policies they haven’t already acknowledged as bad
    1
  6300.  @kimcarrier9834  “when humans transform nature there will always be side effects”. The point is they are doing it at major damage to Southeast Asia. Ever wonder why most of Chinas neighbors have horrible opinions of Chinas government? From Vietnam to Taiwan to South Korea to Japan? And mixed opinions from a bit further out Indonesia and Philippines. Does China have any true strong Allies and if not, why?
    1
  6301.  @kimcarrier9834  i was in China when the outbreak started. Can you guess what was in the news? Well, did several days it was nothing but how great Xi is and then on Jan 20th over 6 weeks since reports were coming out Xi finally admitted something was going on. Then all that was in the news after Jan 23 was first the lockdown of Wuhan and then how great Xi is for building temporary housing for the infected. I had to get the real news using vpn. They silenced the doctor, they hid Covid, they were trying to argue that Covid was not transmissible by air despite that being the only way it could have spread rapidly, etc. The government completely lied and tried to silence anyone that spoke out — yet you then trust that government on what’s happening in Xinjiang?
    1
  6302.  @kimcarrier9834  Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia handled Covid very week. You must like those countries better than China since they handled Covid well and they have rights! And they have media that can criticize and keep their government more honest. And they are all wealthier than China (per capita).
    1
  6303.  @kimcarrier9834  why do you think all those countries i listed (Chinas neighbors) have very unfavorable views of China? And why doesn’t China have any close ally? If you’re point is that China is aggressive but it benefits China, then why lie about what China is doing in that region and in Xinjiang? I think what’s happening here is what is typical of pro authoritarian types — you actually do understand why so many hate China but you can’t acknowledge it because it makes you look bad if you acknowledge all that and justify it with “it makes China better/stronger”. I would say to be honest and I would also say that it makes China weaker. If China was a more respectable country, they could have fact more influence in the world. But instead, the Chinese government is behaving like global powers 100 years ago. Just like Russia/Putin is doing.
    1
  6304.  @kimcarrier9834  lol, “takes a long time to confirm a new outbreak”. There is evidence the suppressed information. The very fact the doctor (who later died of covid) was being silent should tell you everything. That was weeks before Xi officially confirmed it. Also, investigative reporting Frontline has an episode called “China’s secret” which details the lies and suppression of information from the government in December and January and I remember into February. They knew it was airborne, they knew there were lots more people sick then they reported, they lied about the numbers who were sick, they refused to work with The WHO And the WHO would lie for china. They document this with video, Audio recordings, and other evidence. Yet you trust news from such a government?
    1
  6305.  @kimcarrier9834  of course you “trust” the news of Chinese state propaganda considering you subscribe to The Grayzone which is a faux news blog paid by Putin to only defend and never criticize Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba and Syria. You have no interest in the facts so I’m sure I am right when I said you actually know how horrible china is to others and it has no actual Allies but you refuse to acknowledge what China is doing because you actually support all those actions and it makes you look bad if you answer honestly.
    1
  6306.  @kimcarrier9834  you’re the one getting paid to post CCP propaganda. I must have been right in my assessment— that you understand why so many hate chinas government but that you need to lie and deny the horrible things because it makes you look bad. Anyone that uses The Grayzone and repeats CCP propaganda is going to the evil type that supports genocides
    1
  6307.  @kimcarrier9834  it’s funny that all your comments are suggesting “yeah, china is Aggressive and other should fear china” while also refusing to actually acknowledge the specifics. Why support genocide? Because you are evil and your goals are selfish. You have 1800’s values in the year 2022.
    1
  6308.  @kimcarrier9834  your account literally follows fake news genocide supporters and you support genocide as well. My account doesn’t have a history of genocide support
    1
  6309.  @kimcarrier9834  grayzone and cctv are you main sources of news? You subscribe to both- wow, you pick the worse sources. Sources that will never criticize the Chinese government

  6310. @莱克多巴猪 I gave you my sources but you still refuse to gov your sources?

  6311. @莱克多巴猪 I did give you my sources and now you pretend I didn’t?

  6314. @莱克多巴猪 all of the sources are government sources? Bbc and NPR are publicly funded but aren’t propaganda like Chinese state media - those western publicly funded news are some of the best. Their goal is to keep their government and others in check. That’s why most of the news From those sources are critical of their governments Now your sources…
    1
  6315. @莱克多巴猪 Yes, they are funded by governments (mostly local and states) and by donations. Their purpose is to literally report on the news factually and keep politicians and government in check. They are some of the best reporting. From mediabasfactcheck: >Overall, we rate NPR (National Public Radio) Left-Center Biased based on story selection that leans slightly left and High for factual reporting due to thorough sourcing and accurate news reporting. Accurate news reporting. I get it, you are from China and you think EVERY news is just like yours because you are don't have the ability to think.
    1
  6316.  @kimcarrier9834  I don’t know what your last post is arguing. But you subscribe to Grayzone and CGTN, the first is run by a puppet of Putin and only purpose is to lie on behalf of Putin to defend Russia and China. The layer is Chinas own state propa news which will never criticize or investigate k their own government
    1
  6317. @莱克多巴猪 you’re source is yourself so you went to all the identified camps in Xinjiang? And spoke to all the prisoners? You also went to Mekong and took measurements and studies the historical flows?
    1
  6318. @莱克多巴猪 you said you are your own source. That means you don’t use other sources. So you did the investigations yourself of Xinjiang and Mekong?
    1
  6319. @莱克多巴猪 why don’t you answer the question? You just proved you lied that you are your own source.
    1
  6320. @莱克多巴猪 once again proving you are a liar refusing to say how you investigated China
    1
  6321. @莱克多巴猪 so if there is video that shows Chinese security officials blocking journalists from getting near the camps, you will admit that China is guilty?
    1
  6322. @莱克多巴猪 so you bring up why don’t journalists just go to the camps but then refuse to answer if you will say that China is guilty if there is video of them blocking journalist from going to the camps
    1
  6323. @莱克多巴猪 but you said they don’t have camps. Then why are they preventing them from visiting those camps? Now you are saying they do exist and are blocked for security reasons.
    1
  6324. @莱克多巴猪 so you are saying all the identified camps are actually military bases? But yet China never says that they were military bases and they called him reeducation facilities. Nice try with that horrible argument
    1
  6325. @莱克多巴猪 You aren’t keeping up with your bosses? The Chinese government had to admit they are detaining large numbers of Uighurs but called them re education facilities. What’s wrong with u? Talk to your bosses and keep your lies straight
    1
  6326. @莱克多巴猪 Huh, so you're saying that China's govt never mentioned re-education facilities -- and you refuse to answer that you would call China guilty if I showed you videos of Chinese government preventing journalist from getting near the identified camps. You got busted so hard it's funny to watch.
    1
  6327. @莱克多巴猪 And you also said that you are your own source but unable to provide the details of your investigation into Xinjiang and Mekong. Busted so hard your mom is worried for your health. Ha, we all know you ain't got a mother since bots are machines.
    1
  6328. @莱克多巴猪 So you aren't aware of China admitting to the facilities but saying they are education facilities? Even though they gave the BBC a tour of one of them? You really need to speak with your bosses. And you said journalists are free to visit the camps but then you refuse to comment if you would admit you were wrong and that China does have camps if there is evidence of China is blocking journalists. Look at the weasel trying to find a way out of the hole he dug
    1
  6329. @莱克多巴猪 So if they weren't educational facilities, why won't china say what they blocked the journalist from seeing? LOL -- the videos also show all the journalists being blocked while other cars are allowed to go through the road blocks.

"Read up more on your country's treatment of natives and slaves" So it's okay for China to commit those crimes against humanities because other countries did it 150 years ago? wow.

  6347.  @thepunisher2988  50 cents, here is more info: The reprisal came just one week later, when the Chinese ambassador to Australia, Chen Jingye, threatened consumer boycotts of several products in response to Australia’s call for the investigation. Then, in May 2020, China applied massive anti-dumping duties on Australian barley, pricing a $1 billion industry out of its principal export market overnight
    1
  6348.  @thepunisher2988  more info: With the barley ban failing to produce the desired response, China doubled and tripled down. Beef was next, with several Australian producers losing their export licenses. More tariffs were applied to wine, while customs bans were slapped on wheat, wool, lobsters, sugar, copper, timber, and table grapes. Chinese importers were instructed to stop purchasing Australian coal and cotton, and electric utilities were encouraged not to buy liquefied natural gas on the spot market.

  6350.  @robman2095  "US nuclear powered and possibly nuclear armed warships are still banned from NZ ports and this is no secret" No, it applies to every country. In 1984, Prime Minister David Lange banned nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed ships from using New Zealand ports or entering New Zealand waters. Under the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act 1987, territorial sea, land and airspace of New Zealand became nuclear-free zones. So NZ is distancing itself from the US based on some act from nearly 40 years ago that applies to all countries?
    1
  6351.  @robman2095  So if it applies to everyone, then it means NZ isn't distancing themselves from the US. Especially when it's from 40 years ago. The whole argument makes no sense -- it's reach for whatever slanted position you want to take.

After 3 yrs of no bailouts & stimulus, they saw the HUGE negative effects so late '12, finally started to get their shit together & bailed out some & printed more money.

Japan is still struggling. Europe has been struggling (except for 'welfare states' of far northern Europe). Europe is starting to turn it around & how are they doing it? By finally taking the same steps the US did. The EU is printing more money, bailed out banks, & providing stimulus spending. Go read a book

  6359.  @Naveen-tq7cg  india or Indians supporting Russias land grab in Ukraine does indeed “justify” Pakistan and China taking land from India. No one should support Russia right now.
    1
  6360.  @Naveen-tq7cg  I think you literally proved my point so maybe you misunderstood my argument. There is no reason for indian's to support Russia's invasion. Ukraine is a sovereign independent nation, just like how legally J&K is sovereign Indian territory. Thus supporting Russia's land grab and invasion is like supporting China and Pakistan doing the same in the disputed but sovereign Indian territory.

  6361.  @Naveen-tq7cg  But I might disagree with you if you think keeping strong ties with Russia and not aligning with the west is better for India. India's interest are in national security and economy. India's very concern with China's ambitions in the area especially after another border clash. So who will help them counter China, the ally of China (Russia) or the west that already is working to counter China's influence and aggression? Economically, 'the west' (which includes allies such as Japan and South Korea) is by far the biggest trading partner of India. In fact, the US is the biggest export market with 18% of the exports. The only reason Indians seem to favor Russia is purely for historical reasons. Russia is not the future for India.
    1
  6362.  @Naveen-tq7cg  "But India is not supporting Russia like you said, it is being neutral. " Lets be real, when you increase the purchase of Russian goods, refuse to condemn Russia invading, and will not accept the oil price cap nor sanctions on Russia it's really no different than supporting Russia, even if it's not full support. How is China any different than India in regards to support or no support of Russia? Everything I just said also applies to China. In regards to dependence on Russians for defense equipment, Russia has had many years to transition away from Russia. You might say that Russia's weapons are relatively low cost compared to US and western but there are many poorer countries around the world that ignored or reduced their reliance on Russian weapons. I understand that such a transition away from the weapons is difficult due to maintaining older equipment but my understanding is the US is putting together a weapons package with discounts for India and France is doing the same. India is being given the opportunity here Interesting enough, Pakistan has no problems 'affording' the prices of the US or west weapons. Smaller and poor Morocco buys about half as much US weapons as India. Glass half full though, India is increasing weapons purchases of US and other western countries so I'm hoping that's a sign India is trying to at least greatly reduce it's reliance on Russian weapons, if not entirely eliminate it.
    1
  6363.  @Naveen-tq7cg  On Russia-China, my point is that Russia does nothing to try to stop China in the region while the west and allies do. I understand that there was some level of counter by having Russia (an ally of China) as your ally which thus might mean Russia might calm China's aggression towards Russia's friend, India. But it was not as important as QUAD and other western and regional powers actively working to keep China in check. Certainly now that Russia is becoming VERY reliant on Chinese support, that dynamic of India-Russia-China doesn't hold anymore as Russia is now more willing to do what China tells it. Maybe Modi and the government have seen that and are trying to slowly pivot? It's hard to tell right now but India increasing the purchase of western weapons might be a sign of that slow pivot. But it could also be that India just thinks Russia won't be able to keep up with weapons exports while it's at war and with sanctions that may last for many years.

  6365.  @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.

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

  6373.  @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."

  6374. ​ @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.

You now explain what specifically you were calling the half truth which wasn’t clear. And I agree that propaganda exists everywhere but it’s clearly strong and more effective in some countries for obvious reasons. In russia it’s because Putin eliminated News organizations that don’t align with him and arrested protestors and people who tried to post info that contradicts Putin’s narrative. All you have left is what Putin says. In the west there is propaganda but it’s checked by the free speech and free press. People that blindly follow the propaganda from any individual or party are doing so entirely by choice unlike Russia. In Russia you have to make an active effort to avoid falling for it while in the west you have to make an active effort to fall for it.

  6400.  @Disorder2312  your last post isn’t how things actually work. Putin doesn’t have to arrest EVERYONE in order for some to be in danger of arrest. He only has to arrest some which has had done. He arrested thousands of protesters, targeted many for conscription, and arrested journalists. So that means there is a real possibility of this 1420 crew being arrested. Why are you suggesting that everyone has to be arrested in order to be in danger of being arrested? Do you think if you sped your car to 240 km on the road that you aren’t in danger of crashing because not everyone that went 240km crashed?

  6403.  @Disorder2312  you keep trying to compare it to protesters and ignore the media. You also ignored protestors were later hunted down for conscription. You also ignored that many people answering the questions also are afraid of being arrested for answering with the truth. You also Ignore that 1420 individuals can be arrested on a site if the police see what’s going which is why many people look around first before answering. The list goes on but it seems you want to defend Putin.

  6404.  @Disorder2312  After anti-mobilization protests broke out on September 21, at least 18 journalists were among thousands of people arrested in cities across Russia that day, according to the independent Journalists and Media Workers Union (JMWU) and the OVD-Info rights group. As protests continued in cities across the country over the weekend, IPI documented at least nine more confirmed detentions of journalists and media workers, with the majority occurring on Saturday, September 24, bringing the total to at least 27. Kinchev from RusNews, for example, was charged with discrediting the Russian armed forces in a post he made on social media in May 2022, under Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Artem Krieger from Sota Vision, one of the few remaining independent news outlets based in Russia, was broadcasting live on YouTube from a protest when he was arrested.

  6405.  @Disorder2312  “Public protests are currently banned in Russia. Independent war reporting has also been criminalized, with journalists facing fines and prison sentences for discrediting the Russian armed forces or spreading false information about Russian armed forces’ actions. Following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine that began on February 24, the Kremlin has moved to wipe out all remaining sources of independent news and tighten its grip over the media ecosystem through the passing of draconian laws and widespread regulatory censorship. “

  6406.  @Disorder2312  btw, I said protesters AND journalists are being arrested. You keep focusing on protesters only as if that’s the only group targeted but it’s also those reporting in the events. The fact that people are afraid just to answer is telling you the possibility is real yet you claim there is 0% chance. And I you’re being accused from both sides on a topic that really has only one side, that doesn’t look good for you.
    1
  6407.  @Disorder2312  I’m saying the protest AND the journalists are evidence that 1420 is in danger of possibly getting arrested at any time. It doesn’t mean they will, it just means it’s a possibility. You’re the one trying to just stick to the protester comparison and say it’s not relevant for whatever made up reasons you want. But some protesters got in trouble LATER and people reporting also got arrested. For you to say there is zero chance of 1420 not getting in trouble because they aren’t 100% identical is a joke. 1420 has 400k subscribers and growing and the bigger they grow, the most likely they become a target. They have a bigger audience than some of the journalists arrested.
    1
  6408.  @Disorder2312  also dumb comment to say “they haven’t been arrested so they aren’t in trouble”. Many journalists haven’t been arrested but some have. The kremlin isn’t going to go after every single one — they pick here and there and that sends a message. That’s exactly why many answering these questions are worried — they are worried they will be among those picked as examples.

  6413. Johnny, this was perhaps the best of your "How X stole Y" episode. It was very on point with the facts, provided the right amount of context, and discussed some of the more nuanced issues like how many advancements in medicine came out the African colonies. And I love the ending...colonialism was brutal and terrible but many have learned from it and are trying to make progress as we move forward. Most of what I see as the best societal values generally comes from the west or Europe. By that I mean individual and human rights, civil rights for minority groups (including gender, sexual orientation, etc), democracy or just giving people power. What I do see lacking tend to be more personal values and parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America have something to share there, especially on the importance of close family ties. It does make me wonder what the world would be like if Soviet Union or Imperial Japan or some other current power like China were the ones influence values around the world.

  6419.  @eski_truv  Actually, a lot of those values were well before 25 years ago but certainly not 250 years ago. That's besides the points since yes, most of the values are from the past century or so and those values came at different time. Democracy, human rights, protesting, equality, etc. They may not have been given to the colonized but they arose from the colonial powers and when those colonies began to get their freedom, many of those rights were transferred either directly or indirectly. Hong Kong before 1997 when the UK handed it over to China had spent a couple decades before that using British type laws and democracy. Compare Hong Kong to China and you see exactly the point I and Johnny Harris are making.

EU (the west in general) has a history of adding a lot of 'regulations' to their project that increase the cost of the project. I do believe the EU should be far less concern with safety and minimum wages for these projects in order to compete with China. That seems to be what you want so EU should do that.

  6445.  @raitiC1  do you think working on a farm today in Russia is any different? The only difference is that Russian farmers now have to pay more for stuff without getting more rich like the city folks. Maybe it’s not necessarily an improvement for rural folks but it’s close enough between 1980 and 2022 that these rural people might be able to argue it was better for them 40 years ago. But almost everyone living in any city big or small is certainly better off today than 40 years ago.

  6464.  @gabrieldeoliveira1429  and if you think oppression is judged by how much people make, than China was the most oppressive country under Mao when it was the poorest and China today is oppressive because they are much poorer than Japan South Korea and Taiwan, neighbors to the east.

  6465.  @gabrieldeoliveira1429  "You are only forgetting the fact that China had been invaded for over a century." You mean shortly after China had invaded Tibet and Xinjiang and many other regions?

So nice excuse but it doesn't hold.

"Japan and South Korea have the highest suicide rate in Asia." Oh, what about!! Just throw random outdated stats from the CCP playbook to defend your China! Japan now has average suicide rates ranking around 50th out of 180 countries and below many european countries like russia, slovenia, belgium, sweeden, Finland. Even below the USA!

The protest the following year was because Covid caused some delays. It’s Arguable if it should have been delayed but your video makes it sound like the ínterin government never planner on elections.

Wow, you really got me by proving to me your extreme bias and support for a horrible ideology. “I've made a few videos on the DPRK because even if we're to be against them, the western media doesn't do the people any favors when it spreads misinformation” You mean how I’ve argued in this threat that this video is too much fear mongering and that even Kim isn’t likely to be as crazy as suggested in this video? Or was it the fact you refuse to admit that Russia would likely have taken over South Korea as well either directly or indirectly and South Korea would be as poor and terrible as NK? “We're talking about the media that decided to say the north claimed to have discovered a unicorn when the truth to the story was that the north was celebrating the dynastic history of early Korea which involved a myth of a unicorn.” Oh, I know how you authoritarian communist like to debate. So on the unicorn, the media posts the facts that “Korean news agency say they have 'recently reconfirmed' the lair of one of the unicorns ridden by the ancient King Tongmyong”. But since maybe some media took it too far, it’s somehow means North Korean government isn’t often saying crazy things or acting very irrational? And then that’s your way to then defend the horrible regime of North Korea – that it’s just western media fault?!? “The fact that you can't comprehend any level of criticism against a country” South Korea is flawed but its still better than 90% of the countries out there. Why can’t you admit that South Korea is a success story that lead to it becoming a wealthy nation, a democracy, and strong human rights? No country is perfect so don’t give me this “why can’t you take criticism of South Korea!” “How foolish you are to dismiss the elderly who are being neglected by the south government and forced to go homeless,” Still one of the top 30 countries in the world in the quality of care the people receive. How does that compare to North Korea where millions have died of starvation? How does it compare to communist China under Mao where 50 million were killed either in famine or cultural revolution? So you’re only argument is that South Korea is flawed – but that doesn’t mean it’s still not one of the most successful stories and better countries in the world. Unless, of course, you’re a communist that doesn’t like people having freedoms or any wealth or rights?

  6516.  @Stellar_Politics  "It doesn't take a military genius to realize that the North's testing of nuclear weapons is the only thing keeping it independent from the global capitalist hegemony."

Yeah, the global capitalist's hegemony with it's healthcare, better food, human rights, etc is much worse.

All Putin has to do is take care of the obvious in the populace face issues like price of gasoline. U can’t fool a consumer on the price of gasoline as they can clearly see it and feel it but if Putin reports 80,000 casualties when the real number is 300,000, the people can be fooled as they have no way of verifying for sure

They are threatening to and preparing to invade peaceful Taiwan. They are currently attempting to steal the South China Sea by building fake islands and placing military on it. They are being aggressive against Japan in the East Sea over a few islands. They are using their economic might to bully many countries or to coerce many of them to support China's atrocities. What they stand for is the complete opposite of what much of the world stands for. But in the end, many countries defend China for $ome reason$.

  6592.  @dreadformer  China WANTS to invade the peaceful country of taiwan. Are you saying that china didn’t shoot missiles near and around Taiwan? Are you saying that China did not say they may use force to take taiwan if peaceful solution doesn’t work? Yes, it’s a peaceful country because they have the backing of the US. They are peaceful because they aren’t the ones shooting missiles at near or over the other country. All you’re saying to me is that you support China invading the peaceful country of Taiwan. As for India, there have been several fights. It’s increasing in frequency. As for the South China Sea, you’re saying China can steal what it wants if it is financially beneficial to them? So Japan also uses the SCS, can they just bomb china to take it? That’s what China is threatening to do to others. As xinjiang, the only evidence is satallite images, several leaked documents detailing exactly what’s going on, mass number of testimonies from the victims, former local police that have spoken out, and the fact that the CCP is blocking foreigners and journalist from getting near almost all of the camps. If China has no camps, why are they blocking foreigners and journalists from getting near them? They are just schools, right? Schools with watch towers, prison like walls, and full grown adults and seniors in them.

  6595.  @zinjanthropus322  i want to add more info on Zheng He ships. They were very large and bulky. They would be destroyed by European ships in battle and would sink in far easier in the deep sea navigation. This is why Zheng stayed near the coast and the they were mostly useful for transportation of large number of people and not open seas fighting. They were not superior to the European ships, they were different and served different purposes.
    1
  6596.  @zinjanthropus322  sure, Europeans didn’t have such comparable ships when Zheng built his. But 20-30 years later, they did. And from there on europe had far better ships. Also, most of of European trade and power historically was in the Mediterranean so never any need for for ships that could sail the oceans. So from 1450 and after, europe most certainly had better ships and better weapons and better banking systems. You are way under valuing how far along Europe was by 1500 with Italian states being richest in the world, Northern Europe and the Hansa league being another spot for wealthiest in the world, innovation in weapons and ship, ability to fund such voyages through out the 1500’s and 1600’s, etc. Western Europe 1500’s was a much different and wealthier place than Western Europe 600-1200 AD. academic research is literally what I used.

  6597.  @zinjanthropus322  Arab ships were indeed comparable to European ships and better than Chinese ships of that time. But throughout 1500’s, European ships became superior which is why europe won out in the Indian Ocean and later Pacific Ocean. Tiny little Portugal in early 1500s was able to go around Africa and to Indian Ocean and fight to Draw with the ottomans who arguably were the most powerful empire of the 1500’s. From Wikipedia: - Unable to decisively defeat the Portuguese or threaten their shipping, the Ottomans abstained from further substantial action in the near future, choosing instead to supply Portuguese enemies such as the Aceh Sultanate. The Portuguese on their part enforced their commercial and diplomatical ties with Safavid Persia, an enemy of the Ottoman Empire. A tense truce was gradually formed, wherein the Ottomans were allowed to control the overland routes into Europe, thereby keeping Basra, which the Portuguese had been eager to acquire, and the Portuguese were allowed to dominate sea trade to India and East Africa

  6598.  @zinjanthropus322  your arguments hold no value in discussion. You just try to point out that someone before had done it? Well, we play that game and we end up going back to the ancient Egyptians. What value does it bring to this discussion to say Arabs had banking before when by 1500 the best banking was in Italy? What value does is bring to the discussion that China had for a 20 year period the best navy when 20 years later they were surpassed by the Europeans? No one is arguing that europe was first in everything only that by 1500ish, Western Europe had become innovators in ship designs, banking, and weapons and that several parts of Western Europe were possibly the richest area in the world — Italian city states and Netherlands plus Hansa league

" Not at all relevant to the topic and argument. The argument is against Johnny Harris calling Europe poor in 1492. Literally the the first comment that we are all replying to. Are you know in agreement that Europe was not poor in 1492? That it was at least no worse off than China and India? The academic research indicates western Europe had higher GDP per capita than China or India. And the banking mattered tremendously as that's how they were better able to finance such operations and also how Europe became wealthier per capita than India and China. What they lacked in national resources they made up with economic policies, banking infrastructure and practices, and development of new superior ships

  6601.  @zinjanthropus322  The conquistadors defeated the natives in part because their armor and in part because of canons. Their guns played a smaller role but still a role. The Indian Ocean conquest as Europeans began colonizing or establishing trade posts in South Asia and then East Asia were almost entirely from superior ships and weapons from ships. At least initially.

  6602.  @zinjanthropus322  You're not even answering the questions, lol!! So obvious. Even if Inter-European trade was ssmaller than Indian Coean trade, how does that mean western Europe didn't have higher GDP per capita? All you are arguing about is populations -- yes, far more people around the indian ocean. But why can't you admit the academic research shows western Europe had higher GDP per capita? Why can't you admit the banking practices of the Italian states were the most advance by 1500? Why can't you admit any of this?

And you continue to keep making argument that are essential just based on pure population size. "The banking practices of Europe were not special at all however." Wow, getting paid to make such comments? They spurred many of the financial practices that would help shape the world banking practices.

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.

US is way better than China and Russia and the US is needed to help prevent China, Russia and other bad actors from pushing their agenda. But the US has often made many terrible mistakes in large part because Europe doesn't stand up or offer something more to a situation. A stronger EU lead NATO, a stronger EU in global politics, a stronger EU in dealing with the US will be a big benefit. That doesn't mean I think the EU is great and without flaws.

I don't think one action especially on something the US couldn't even do due to no diplomatic relation with Iran would mean it's a transfer of power when it comes to the whole middle-east. "U.S. shale is heading to "peak shale" and the West will once again become aggressive about the M.E." The US since 2003 has become less aggressive overall. No actual wars where the US is one of the primary combatants and where there are have been military operations, it's mostly be done with either UN and or Europe support. I think the Afghanistan war was fully justified but in regards to Iraq 20003 War, it could be argued it was a holdover of cold war era war policies. Westerns and especially American views on engaging directly in a war have been weakening since the cold war and with the US after 2003 it really has decreased to the point where there is a large number of Americans now that absolutely despise war. "The way I see it is that China has somehow accomplished a deal to get first dibs on the oil. " That I agree with.

  6637.  @margarethung9398  "As regards Russia and Ukraine, since the start of the war China has been saying that a negotiated settlement is needed," Is that why they blamed the west and Ukraine but never Russia? And why they increased their purchase of Russian goods? "On Chinese social media, there has been some criticism of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and yet there has been no censorship of these comments" Is that why in the first few months when an anaylsis was done, something like 90% of the stories were pro Russia? And many pro Ukraine content was removed? And the Chinese media is 100% pro Russia in coverage? How is Beijing treating you today?

  6638. ​ @OpaxNaquiz  Ottoman Empire controlled the coastal areas, i.e. the major settlements, for most of the time until the 20th century. If you're talking about control of small settlements and mostly desert by a state that isn't Saudi Arabia but lead by the House of Saudi, sure. But to me that's not really Saudi Arabia. There's a reason maps of the 19th century just leave the internal area of the Arabian peninsula blank and why the wikipedia page for Emirate of Diriyah (it wasn't Saudi Arabia yet) is very very short -- a few paragraphs.

Given how Russia has no problem invading or at the very least promote separatism in any ethnic Russian area of Europe and Central Asia, I think most countries with large ethnic Russian populations need to figure out how to stop Russian interference and promote assimilation.

  6652. @D.S. you are right. National interest are still the biggest factor in democracy but just not everything. There are indeed historical and cultural ties. India is good example. It is not in India's best interest to maintain a strong relationship and continue to alienate their western partners. But they do so in part because of historical ties with Russia. What would be best for India is to have closer ties with the group that would help them counter China's influence in Asia and with the group that is India's largest trading partners. That group is the west. For China, it most certainly was in their interest to align with Russia given China's ambitions.

  6653.  @Someone345y  "no Muslims were evicted because of CAA" Oh, they just tried it! That' all! and it's in the process! "CAA just gives citizenship to non-muslim immigrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh " Okay, so they require a large number of people in a certain region to show they are citizens and if they can't, they will evict only Muslims but not anyone else? Wow, that totally isn't trying to target Muslims.
    1
  6654.  @Someone345y  As the NYT reported: Ahmad Ali watched helplessly as the police set his home on fire. They swarmed into his village, wielding sticks, to beat up participants in what local residents described as a peaceful protest against forced evictions. When the protesters fought back, they opened fire, killing two people, including a 12-year-old boy. Then the police began burning local homes and the possessions inside: a bed, a quilt, hay for feeding their cattle. Local government officials said they were targeting an exploding population of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh squatting on land needed for vital agricultural projects. But interviews and a review of documents by The New York Times showed that many of the evicted residents were legal citizens of India with a right to live on the government-owned land. Instead, critics of the government say, the evictions appear to be part of a broader campaign by India’s ruling party against the country’s Muslim population. “They want Muslims to live suppressed, under the mercy of the Hindus,” said Swapan Kumar Ghosh, vice president of a nonprofit working for the state’s displaced people.

  6655.  @Someone345y  I'll repeat the most important parts about what India is doing: But interviews and a review of documents by The New York Times showed that many of the evicted residents were legal citizens of India with a right to live on the government-owned land. Instead, critics of the government say, the evictions appear to be part of a broader campaign by India’s ruling party against the country’s Muslim population. In December 2019, India passed an immigration law that fast tracked citizenship for undocumented migrants from nearby countries as long as they were Hindu or one of five other religions, but not Muslim. Party leaders in a number of Indian states have pushed laws to ban religious conversion through marriage, using a term — “love jihad” — that leaves little doubt whom the measures are aimed at. Some of the toughest measures have focused on Assam, where about one-third of the population is Muslim. In the summer of 2019, a review of citizenship left more than two million of Assam’s 33 million people, many of them poor and Muslim, stateless.

The west having more Trade with India Vietnam help to decouple from China so that’s the number one reason for it. The claim the Anglosphere (actually the west in general but me thinks you’re anti west) was too generous to China does indeed have real basis. China was given preferential trade conditions and the west allowed China for years to have a system where any foreign company has to partner up with Chinese locals (10% ownership?) and that Chinese company or individual would often steal IP and trade secrets. The west allowed it for years believing that continued trade with China will eventually lead to a softer and more friendly China but then Xi changed everything.

And the CCP will block reporters and foreigners from getting near these facilities which supposedly don’t exists. And countless of Uyghurs testimonies are also used to identify them.

  6728. It’s interesting how there are a lot of similarities to the west historically. The only difference is the west (maybe more like europe, North America, Australia) has moved on to another phase. 50 years ago, having very pale skin was the model of beauty due to a similar history that workers were under the Sun and tan while elites had pale skin. But in the past 50 years, tanning became popular. Paler skin white westerners often like more tan and you might be made fun of for being to lo pale. I think as people became more involved in sports and started traveling to beaches and tropical areas, a tan skin began to symbolize someone who is active and healthy. Might also be an influence of more immigrants of darker skin going western countries.

I’ve taken the private company high speed rail in Italy and it was better than the state. Not by much but it was better. And you put it into private hands but heavily regulate it. - you give incentives to the company to innovate while also regulating it heavily so it accomplishes what you want. This is also why many energy companies are often partly public and partly private such as Frances nuclear companies before france bought it out completely or norways oil and gas company

  6740.  Esphaeras Praestans  most nations have some levels of privatization energy and it helps a lot. But it’s not treated like a regular industry but like healthcare in Europe— heavily regulated with lots of government involved in it.
    1
  6741.  Esphaeras Praestans  most countries use a partial private - public model for energy. You mention “ you are basically exposed economies to fluctuations that have disasters consequences”. Well, that’s what it’s highly regulated. Put price caps or profit margin caps. This has worked well because it takes the business of operating the industry away from the government and gives to the a company but it is highly regulated so that the company will have to appease the government. In addition, it allows for more innovation in the industry. Lastly, if prices go up due to outside sources, the consumer is still paying that costs either though the bill (private model) or higher taxes (to pay for the higher costs energy). The fix for the private is if it goes too crazy, the government can subsidize company on the increased cost thus keeping the bills capped to the consumer and what’s left to over the rising cost will be subsidized by the government. There are fixes to all your concerns and they already exist.

  6752. I've seen some study on the deaths of foreign workers in Qatar and the 6,500 figure is wildly over exaggerating the real number. The Guardian took ALL migrant deaths which will include deaths of people who weren't working when they died. Many of them were retired and not even workers anymore. The study looked at what would be the expected number of deaths over that period of time all immigrants in Qatar. It found that that around 5k-5.5k deaths would be expected thus the number killed while working is likely around 1,000. The rest are just expected deaths from natural causes and non-work related deaths (car accidents, falling, disease, etc).

  6756.  @alanxu1238  95% of China is 'Han' and thus they are 'China' for the most part. You are basically making an argument that Germany is similar to Middle_east because 5% of their population is from the middle east.
    1
  6757.  @alanxu1238  Yes, they are Chinese citizens. Why do you keep trying to argue that Chinese Han majority are not different than the Mongolian minority? You think Uyhgurs are the same as Han majority? Tibetans the same as Han majority? "most of the minority ethnic groups are indigenous. Middle East groups in Germany are not. " Makes it worse for China because it means China conquered other people who didn't willingly want to become part of the country and culture unlike middle east going to Germany. "Secondly majority does not automatically makes minorities out-siders. " Except in China it does for many minority groups. Thats why China treats Uyhgurs and other Turkic muslims along with Tibetans very badly. And why Mongolians in the past have protested against the government. Most native Americans are fully or mostly integrated into US culture. There isn't a large indepdence movement from them. But again, you are missing the difference here between 'Chinese Han" and "Chinese nationals". Chinese nationals are everyone that is a citizen of the country but the way I was using 'Chinese' was referring to ethnic Chinese -- i.e. Han.

In the long run, it was better for France but probably not in the lifespan of those that lived before and after the revolution. France had non stop wars and internal fighting/violence from 1790's to 1870's. They probably would have got more accomplished / more quickly accomplished if they didn't resort to mass violence and torture against anyone they deemed could potentially even be a theat. >The later democratic revolutions had a benefit of hindsight Yes, they learned that the French took too violent of an approach.

When Taiwan, South Korea and Japan were at the same GDP per capita that China is today, they had approximately 7% GDP growth for the next 20-30 years! That's a massive failure when compared to it's east Asian counterparts. >just like how the united states was a massive manufacturing country in the 1930s till 50s, Except the US was already upper income country at that point. China is not close to even it's East Asian counterparts who have 4x higher GDP per capita.

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.

  6780.  @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
  6785.  @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.

  6786.  @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.

  6791. @agapp11able “he believes western media” and yet you won’t cite where the UN did an actual investigation and claimed China is innocent. 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.

  6865. Eh, you could have done better with some key points. On the Solomon Islands, should have mentioned the Increasing authoritarianism of the leader which is why there massive protests about Chinas involvement in the island. On Australia China trade, you mention Australia mostly sells China natural resources but didn’t mention why Australia doesn’t fear china boycott or sanction of Australian natural resources. China already sanctioned Australian coal and other natural resources but considering they are just global commodities, Australia just found other buyers.

  6868. Okay? The video mentions the ROC in 1947 claimed those disputed islands and then mentions that ROC in 1949 also claimed it. edit: nevermind, it was the "based on the island of Taiwan" to describe ROC in 1947 that is the issue or concern.
    1
  6869.  @charlesscott4722  " let me get this straight, KMT was within the international law when they were claiming those islands," No? The UN didn't recognize that claim. And I think you are so intent on defending the CCP that you are missing the point. Several countries have claims in the South Sea that not recognized by the UN but it's China that is by far the most aggressive with it's artificial island building, placing military bases on them, and then trying to prevent ships and planes from using that space.
    1
  6870.  @charlesscott4722  "CCP didn't annex Taiwan island because they didn't have the military power to do so after war with the Japanese". The war that the ROC (KMT) mostly fought? And by your logic, you would be okay with South Korea invading and taking North Korea tomorrow. "Which super power country has respect for the international boundaries? Russia? US? UK? Why do you expect it to be different with the Chinese?" For the most part, they have generally respected those boundaries since the cold war. The invasion of Ukraine is a clear example where they haven't -- invading a country that wasn't threatening anyone and then annexing those lands. China doing the same with Taiwan would be very little difference.
    1
  6871.  @charlesscott4722  You supporting or even pretending to support South Korea invading North Korea just really shows how much violence you like. "As for who fought the Japanese the most, this is similar to the dispute between the Americans and the Russians " No, you said PRC couldn't keep fighting ROC because of the war with Japan. But it's the ROC that suffered by far the most with war with Japan thus it's an important point to bring up who did most of the fighting. "the CCP didn't invade Taiwan because they didn't have the capability to do so," Sure, and it's 75 years later. By supporting such actions, you are basically supporting wars all around the world Japan invading Russia to get it's lands back, South Korea invading North Korea, Mongolia invading China, Central Asian Empires invading China to get Xinjiang back, Mexico invading the US, England invading the US, England invading dozens of countries, etc. "And no, I'm not defending CCP, but I understand realpolitik" But you didn't say that it is wrong for China to invade Taiwan and you've used a bunch of reasoning to defend the CCP. So yea, you are defending them.

You just want to defend the horrible oppressive regimes of the world by saying "it will never work out!" and ignoring that it did work out for so many. You bring up France...yeah, it took 70 years but it still happened and it lead to revolutions elsehwere that were much quicker in progress but you ignored.

  6880.  @piruz3243  i said in the long run, revolutions against unelected leaders generally lead to better countries. There are exceptions but those are few. I do agree that COMMUNIST revolutions are bad. The revolutions must be in support of being able to elect leaders thus the reason I mentioned “revolutions against UNELECTED leaders”. Just about every democracy today came about from revolution of some type.
    1
  6881.  @piruz3243  Iranians current revolution is pro democracy and history shows that those generally lead to a better country in the long run. 79 revolution wasn’t pro democracy — it just wanted the shah removed. There were communist and religious groups working together who both opposed democracy and there were indeed smaller groups who were part of the revolution but were pro democracy. The revolution today in Iran would not settle for another ayatollah.
    1
  6882.  @piruz3243  what’s funny is you’re suggesting that it’s more likely to get worse in the long run for Iranians when it’s already really bad and probably can’t get worse than the current system. This is why you’re comments are so troubling — you’re suggesting it’s likely to get worse based on nothing but ignoring that it’s already about as bad as it will get. There really is only one way to go and it’s progress. even if the next government has issues it is more likely to be better than the current regime who is considering executing 16,000 protesters!
    1
  6883.  @piruz3243  well, I think you’re type of comments and OP often come off as being opposed to revolution against oppressive non elected leaders. Sure, not every revolution turns out well with many already from the start being bad when it’s a revolution to install another oppressive non democratic leader. But it really doesn’t seem to apply to Iran right now. This is anti Islamic government and pro democracy movement. The 79 revolution was lead by two major groups — religious extremist and communist. While both may have said they would support democracy, those type of groups rarely democratic. And in no way am I saying getting rid of the ayatollah regime will lead to smooth transition but I’m confident in the long run it will work out for them. The only possible major problem for Iran is if Kurdish region tries to break away from Iran while Iran is trying to sort out its issues. But even a free Kurdistan might be good in the good long run.

  6884.  @piruz3243  reminder of the 1979 revolution without further context will appear to be in favor of keeping the status quote. That’s how many of them operate online so without context it just looks like that. I saw that so much from pro CCP Chinese about Hong Kong. They pretend to care for Hong Kong people and many claim to be from Hong Kong but argue against the protests because it’s better not to fight the CCP.

  6885.  @piruz3243  I feel very bad for the Kurds. The Brits drew boundaries to divide the Middle East and keep people separate and in the process never gave the Kurds a country but always as the big minority to create conflict of interest- Iran Iraq and Turkey. Such a large population divided by 3 countries. Realistically, I can see them ever getting an independent country. Few countries are willing to give up lands. It’s happened relatively peaceful at times (but few) in say europe and I guess you can say the US did it with some of its territories but those US territories were not very vital to the US.

  6895. 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?

  6899.  @joesligo1516 it’s well established China doesn’t have popular sports leagues. It’s well established that in the 80’s and early 90’s, China began a path of identifying Olympic sports that have lots of medals and that others aren’t heavily invested in. After identifying those events, they focused on growing just those activities at home for the purpose of the Olympics. This is why they dominate in shooting events when almost no one in China has access to shooting!
    1
  6900.  @billyburton123 ur purposely missing the big picture here. It’s well established that China some 30 yrs ago began the process of identity Olympic events that have lots of medals and which others aren’t heavily investing. That’s exactly why China has lots of medals in all those shooting events when very few people in China have access to shooting!!
    1
  6901.  @billyburton123  the you and everyone else liking ur comment ignored he said “OTHER people see as a hobby”. Didn’t say those athletes see it as a hobby. And it’s true…lots of these events China medals in are not major sports and often seen as hobby (such as all the shooting events). Others like diving are not major events and thus few are involved globally. The major event categories that have been serious for a long time are track &field, gymnastics and swimming. The Olympics was mostly based around track and field from the start so it’s been the most competitive from the start. China does almost nothing in this as a result. Not a good use of money if they are trying to win the most golds.
    1
  6902.  @billyburton123  the intent of the comment? He was 100% right — these sports have been historically hobbies. If you want to criticize his “tone”, then criticize his tone and not the legit argument he made. And no, you would not like the US spending vast amount of money to random events to win medals unless you happen yo be that individual. The reason many developed countries from strong democracies don’t do better than they already do is because they are not as interested in D—k waving. They usually do well in sports / events that are truly popular in their countries already.
    1
  6903.  @billyburton123  to continue on my last comment about about fully developed countries doing well in events / sports already popular in their counties, US does great I. Track, swimming, basketball, gymnastics because 3 of those are already super popular in high school and the other is popular kids sports often done outside of the school system. Norway does great in Winter Olympics because skiing sports already are popular in the country. Etc etc. They tend to fund the athletes that alredy developed outside the scope of the US govt funding them. China and USSR and other communist of the past have been interred in D waving and fund athletes from early on in most or all events. This is why many former communist countries saw a decline in medals after leaving communism

  6907. This video is a bit problematic IMO. First, the US isn’t the only supplier of weapons and aid to Ukraine. Europe has provided just as much as the US yet no mention of European aid. Second, for months already Ukraine has been shooting down drones with the German-made Gepard system, a vehicle that can send dual streams of 35mm rounds ripping into the sky to hit the drones. They are not using $100,000 missiles. Third, the video doesn’t seem to describe the consequences of all the actions mentioned that Russia is undertaking. The video suggest that Russia could put up with even 10:1 (10 Russian losses to 1 Ukrainian loss) ratio of losses for a long time. Each round of mobilization will make the war less popular In Russia. You cannot use WW2 as an example of how much Russia is willing to lose in terms of people’s lives because WW2 they were fighting to preserve the existence of the country – so Ukraine today would be a better comparison to Russia in WW2. In addition, the video mentions that mobilization of the poor, minorities, and disenfranchised communities wouldn’t pose big problems for the Kremlin. But it will, certainly for the minority regions where approval for Moscow is lower than the rest of the country. This could lead to potential revolts.

  6908. One problem with almost all videos or articles discussing increase of home prices over time is that they ignore the costs of loans (mortgage rate).

  6919.  @recoil53  I agree with your statement on autocratic states. Autocratic states can get action started quicker but often not the best action. And once they go down a certain path, they are less likely to change paths because there isn't as much pressure on them to change as in a democracy and because the interest of autocratic leaders are mostly about keeping their autocratic power and not what the people think.

  6936.  kwokwai So  your other comment didn’t show up. So you accept that the former policeman and numerous Uyghurs testimonies can be used as part of the evidence. That’s great.

  6970. It's too early to tell if it's because Russia exhausted it's forces or because of some division with Wagner. Either is good for Ukraine but I would think exhausting their forces would be the better of the two. UK or some other intelligence group recently said that Russia was running into problems with supplies and weapons in Bakhmut. Maybe Russia's forces did get exhausted in terms of supplies and manpower and thus unable to continue fighting. Wagner even said they were short on weapons.

  6973. Tourism is great for an economy and for the people…up to a point. Tourist not only spend and create jobs as a result but they pay high sales taxes and fees which can lower tax burden on the residents and businesses themselves (Florida has no income tax because of the tourist tax revenues). But there is only so much physical space and the pains from each new tourist start being more impactful than the gains from each new tourist. I’ve been to Venice a few times and I can see it. So they added fees like the 5 euro fee for day travelers to raise the gains and they reduced how many cruises can dock there because those are day travelers and provided less gains but more headaches than a regular overnight tourist

Half of the republicans in the US have little interest in helping Europe or any of our partners except Israel. And only reason that half of the republicans support helping Israel is because they do not like Muslims. Even if Biden wins, we can still see the limitations due to republicans in congress. I’m not sure another big aid package for Ukraine like the $61 billion package will happen again.

And all of this stems from Turkey REFUSING to accept a Kurdish state 100 years ago. Kurds are a very different ethnic group so a Kurdish state would have been a reasonable solution 100 years ago.
    1
  6981.  @shaman553  english translation of this arabic langauge comment and a good one t : A failed comment that has no connection with reality, and the Kurds were wronged in the Syspico agreement, and they divided the Kurds into four or five parts, Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, and a part in Armenia, and the Kurds accepted it on the basis that there is no Arab and non-Arab difference except for doing good and piety. Right and justice, but unfortunately the Kurds were let down by the Turkish, Iranian, Syrian and Iraqi dictators, and when power became in their hands, all of them created nationalities to deceive them. They falsified history, lied, hypocrisy, and betrayed the ancient Kurdish people, and became the owners of the land. They obliterated the history of the Kurds, and the Kurds were killed and displaced, as they killed and displaced the Jews in the name of Islam. And the last thing it became clear that Islam is the Ottoman occupation. By the rule of the Wahhabi Assad, nor by the Iranian rule of the terrorist for the Day of Judgment, you will not be able to obliterate the history and identity of the Kurdish people and their cause

  6983.  @Taheynn  "The area where the Kurds were located belonged to the Armenians in 1900. You can understand this by looking at the Ottoman census." So then Turkey doesn't have a good claim for that Kurdish region. "Giving the Kurds a minority and land means destroying the Turkish state" How so? The vast majority of Turkish people don't live in that Kurdish area. Sounds a lot like the argument Russia uses to defend their annexation of parts of Ukraine but even weaker because at least there are 'russians' in the region of Ukraine.

You ignored how the video discusses Turkeys' side, how many in the west labaled the PKK a terrorist group, etc. It seems you are just upset that anyone would also show the Kurdish side. Upset the video discussed how Turkey refused an independent Turkish state and invaded in the 1920's, no different than an imperialist. This situation isn't as black and white as they teach you in Turkey or show you in Turkish media.

  6986.  @a.e.a.  "We all know how well bargaining with the Taliban went for the US " But it happened. And I just quickly named a recent example I can think of. " Since the Ottoman conquests of the area starting in the 1500 ‘s ( most of todays Kurdish-majority areas in Turkey had sizable Turkic population and were ruled by other Turkish lords back in those times)" And 200 years before that, there were few Turkish people in that region. But I guess it doesn't apply when the Turkish people do something?

  6987.  @Taheynn  Nobody is saying divide Germany because those Turkish people MOVED there recently. They also have a home country , maybe you've heard of Turkey? Also, Germany isn't an authoritarian oppressive state like Turkey or China. Those Turkish people and other migrants are given much more rights and freedoms than Kurds in Turkey. Can you not understand the difference? Becaues it seems like you are reaching for any weak excuse to defend the authoritarian rule of Erdogan.
    1
  6988.  @Taheynn  The people of Turkey are 'Turkic' but it's a culture evolution not a genetic one. The Turks did come from near Mongolia and over time they mixed in with peoples along the way and took over what is now Turkey from the Greek Romans (Byzantines). They became Turkic people through assimilation but genetically, yes they are more similar to Greeks than original Turkic people.
    1
  6989.  @Taheynn  change my point or view? But you used terrible comparisons and are supporting not only oppression of a minority group but also authoritarian leaders that erase democracy. At this point, there isn’t much difference between Putin and Erdogan in terms of the power they have accumulated and their authoritarianism. Also, I’m in my 40’s and I never said Turkey should give up their Kurdish held areas. Im against Turkeys treatment of Kurds and against Erdogan invading Syria. I’m old enough to properly remember the fall of the USSR and the hope I had in Turkey in the 2000’s before Erdogan started becoming authoritarian.

You won’t answer with the truth so I’ll just give you the answer — it’s so that the leader can control his sheep, I mean, the people and keep artificially high approval rating. Same reason the CCP has 80% approval in China as well. But hey, the sheep don’t know they are being herded when they don’t see any media criticizing their leader not see any serious political opposition against the leader. It’s strange that this has to be explained but I guess sheep can’t think for themselves. And trying to equate Ukraine to the invading Russia when Ukraine is occupied and invaded is a joke.

  7006.  @topsecret5  I’m shocked that people who clearly are uneducated like u would make such a comment. Even your attempt with “Jaan” just demonstrates that they are similar but somehow you think it needs to be identical in order to be considered copying? Lol
    1
  7007.  @franchisemusic4585  so u have a law degree? You know that you need to first trademark a name and then you have to enforce it in order to keep it going. It’s literally why Taco Johns is suing because if they don’t, it could eventually lead to the loss of their trademark status.
    1
  7008.  @franchisemusic4585  U can get mad at Taco John's all you want but this is exactly how they are able to maintain their trademark. A copy and paste from law blog: - (One way to lose your trademark): Your Mark Loses Distinctiveness - Since trademarks are issued to preserve distinctiveness, anything diluting the meaning of a mark can be grounds for cancellation. Not only do such instances result in lost rights, but they may also require businesses to either undergo expensive rebranding campaigns or forgo a particular product or service entirely. So if there are a number of Taco Chon then Taco Chon's then Taco John, and Taquito John's, etc. -- you eventually lose the trademark of "Taco John's".
    1
  7009.  @franchisemusic4585  Those examples of restaurants that didn't have trademarks and didn't enforce their trademark will show how Taco John's is going to lose because Taco John's has a trademark and is enforcing it's trademark?

  7028. @Prof, Japan has apologized numerous times before that there is a long list on wikipedia. Are there certain politicians in Japan that have said terrible things? Yes, but it's a small number and does not represent the the government as a whole. It often feels that South Korea just keeps moving the goal post on what they need from Japan in order to move on. It appears that it's just used as political tool to stir up nationalism much how it's used in China. Is this a new era? Well, polling shows that China is now the most disliked country in South Korea so we may already be in a (slow) shift towards more normal relations between South Korea & Japan. And the reasoning for a shift towards more normal relations is likely both the threat of North Korea and the threat of China.

No one or two Oligarch has the power to take down Putin but Putin's power relies heavily on the Oligarchs. If enough of them want Putin out, Putin will be out. However, Putin will take one down when he started sensing that individual isn't supporting him. It's a balancing act right now though I will admit that Putin certainly has the upper hand.

If a private school would need to accept a bad student, sorry this year we are doing 29 students per class instead of 30." This seems like it wouldn't really have much impact overall. Are they changing their capacity each day? I f not, then I don't see how this would have much impact. And do you mean with " they are assigned to capacity by distance by a third party.". It appears you are saying that a 3rd party assigns the capacity but you also said the private school changes the capacity.

  7078. Look at these comments being overly semantic or hyper critical over small things. Oil for the most part is fungible. It certainly is within its category. It’s no different than just about every other so called fungible good. Sure, technically he should have said “oil is fungible among the class/category of that oil” but this isn’t a video about oil and being so pedantic with everything will make a video less pleasurable to watch

  7079. Seriously, you comprehend nothing. Guns are ILLEGAL for criminals. But because we have a legal and relatively unregulated gun market, it's extremely easy to get guns illegally in the US. If guns were highly regulated or banned, criminals would have to find other sources. Criminals buying guns that are smuggled in increases the chances they are caught & becomes a disincentive because of risk and costs. Should we make cocaine legal??

  7083. This is the 2nd time in a week that TLDR dropped the ball. A few days ago when first discussing the info in US military leaks, TLDR failed to mention that the document were modified and thus presented that Ukraine had some 70k KIA to Russia's 17k KIA. The fact that all media mentioned it appeared doctored but TLDR was just bad. And here, TLDR completely misses the criticism of Macron's statement. It's not the argument for European autonomy, it's that he basically openly confirmed that no one should help Taiwan and thus gives Xi a tool to use that drive his ambitions.

  7088.  @JamesKerLindsay  I think what we are seeing form some Japanese politicians is frustration that Korea won't move on and frustrated people often make bad choices such as purposely making things worse with South Korea. Or the more nuance view is that those politicians are representing a portion of the population that has become frustrated that South Korea won't move on and keeps demanding more. This is just a guess based on general observations of people and politics. I do feel they are going to continue to make progress in the relationship solely based on mutual interests regarding national security threats. Hopefully at some moment they reach that tipping point where historic grievances are resolved and then I believe progress in their relationship will be fast moving. As I mentioned in my original post, they have too much in common to not be very close allies.

  7100.  @felchap1205  you keep ignoring the question on whether or not the economic policies under Pinochet were a major actor in the economy strengthening in the mid 80’s and after to the point where Chile because arguably the wealthiest....so instead, I’ll ask you a different question. If Pinochet’s economic policies were so bad, why did 44% of the people still want to give Pinochet more years as the leaders when a referendum was held? He killed so many people and if the economic policies were so bad, why did 44% still want to keep in charge for a bit longer?!?
    1
  7101.  @felchap1205  I’ve read on the referendum. It isn’t anything like you describe, well..no where near the extend your claim. By that point it was a given that Chile would become a democracy or move towards it. That’s why he Pinochet allowed the votes in the first place! Pinochet overestimated his popularity and he thought he would get 50%
    1
  7102.  @felchap1205  hey, notice you keep ignoring the most important question....why is that? Are you truly this dishonest?!?! So, were the economic policies under Pinochet a major factor in the economy strengthening in the mid 80’s and after to the point where Chile became arguably the wealthiest in Latin America?
    1
  7103.  @xiphoid2011  that’s not true at all. Only 50% don’t pay federal income taxes AFTER tax reductions. They are part of the formal economy and still pay all the other taxes from state income to social security to Medicare etc.
    1
  7104.  @xiphoid2011  if you’re not part of the formal economy, you aren’t paying any of those payroll taxes. What am I missing here? Are all those other taxes not paid through payrolls in China? Only the federal income tax is paid in payroll taxes?
    1
  7105.  @xiphoid2011  so if only 2-3% of Chinese pay the income tax vs US of having 50%, how is that basically the same? In addition, in the US the top 1% earners pay about 40% of the income taxes.
    1
  7106.  @xiphoid2011  but you said only the middle class pays in the US. It’s mostly the richest paying most of the federal income taxes — top 1% pay 40% and I believe top 3% pay over half of the federal income taxes. Furthermore, as I pointed out, just about ALL Americans pay all the other taxes because they are part of the formal economy and payroll taxes get paid. Informal workers in China (or any country) won’t pay those payroll taxes
    1
  7107.  @xiphoid2011  the 1% are the rich not upper middle class. Furthermore, you seem to try suggest china and US are somewhat close on this — almost all of the US workers are part of the formal economy while in China it’s a very large share that isn’t part of the formal economy. It’s like suggesting a basketball player scoring 4pts is roughly the same as a player scoring 40 pts. Yeah, both did score points but the scale is massively different. Can you recognize that massive scale difference between China and the US? Because everything you have said comes off as trying to say they are much similar than reality.
    1
  7108.  @xiphoid2011  no, you said middle class and upper middle class pay most of taxes. You think being in the top 1% is still a middle class (upper middle class)? What about 1% t 2%? You define upper class as only top 1%? In addition, the middle class actually pay far less than the upper class or upper class plus middle class. The top 2% pay more then 2% to 50% earners. It’s like saying “me plus Lebron James scored 40 points the other day”. In addition, I notice your refusal to acknowledge the scale of this is vastly different in US vs China. Why must you not stick to honesty? Why can’t you acknowledge the massive scale difference — almost all American workers are in the formal economy paying all sorts of payroll taxes and well over half the workers also pay federal income taxes while China has a very large informal workforce that pays no federal income taxes and no other payroll taxes (federal or local). And don’t forget, the “only 50% of Americans pay federal income taxes” include in the calculations unemployed and retired people so most workers do pay federal income taxes. I’m still surprised you are not able to acknowledge the massive scale difference between China and the US. Are you a vvumao?
    1
  7109.  @xiphoid2011  as a show of good faith, prove to me you aren’t a vvumao and acknowledge the g8noc1de in Xinjiang
    1
  7110.  @xiphoid2011  the top 1.5% pay over 50% of the federal income taxes. So, 50% of the taxes are paid by 0-1.5% top earners and 50% from 1.5-50%. Or even better, 60% of the tax is paid by the top 3% and 40% is paid by everyone 100-3%. In fact, the top 20% paid nearly 80% of the federal income taxes therefore the 20-80% earners only paid 20% of the taxes. Prove u aren’t a vvumao and Acknowledge the g8noc1de in Xinjiang. You will not acknowledge because it’s clear you are a vvumao which is why you refuse to acknowledge the HUGE difference in informal workers in China vs US and why you would call 1-2% earners “middle class”
    1
  7111.  @xiphoid2011  FYI, you’re saying that a household making $500k is middle class (upper middle class). Such a household is living in a $1.5 to $2 million home but I guess it’s middle class? You won’t answer Xinjiang question because it’s clear you a vvumao but I just wanted to demonstrate the lack of honesty in your argument. You are misleading by saying it’s the model class (regulator middle class Plus upper middle class) not only by saying $500k annual income is middle class but also cherry picking the stat such as: 1. Top 1% pay 40% 2. Top 2% pay 52% 3. Top 5% pay 65% 4. Top 20% pay 80% 5. 20-50% range pay 20% You take that data and say anything below top 1% is middle class then say middle class pays most of the taxes. It is Similar to lebron James scoring 40 of his teams 84pts and then picking a bench player who score le 3pts and saying “lebron and the bench player scored most of the teams points”. That’s some serious cherry picking to give a misleading idea of the game.

  7112.  @xiphoid2011  per google, $400k can afford up to a million dollar home. Me and my partner have $225k combined income and are looking at $500k homes. But i totally believe the person who refuses to acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang and who refuses to acknowledge the massive scale differences between how many Chinese don’t pay any payroll taxes and those in the US that don’t pay payroll taxes. Now, is it because of vvumao status or just a typical Chinese nationalist?
    1
  7113.  @xiphoid2011  estimate of only 2% of Chinese pay taxes while 50% of Americans. Notice the massive difference you won’t acknowledge? And income taxes are just 8% of tax revenue in China vs 24% in OECD countries. Another massive difference. - Cavalier views like his may help explain why personal income tax accounted for only 8% of total tax revenue in China last year, compared with an average of 24% in the oecd, a group of rich countries. - The finance ministry estimates that 187m people ought to be paying income tax. Yet a former finance official reckons that in 2015 only 28m people—just 2% of the population—did so. Free Xinjiang! Free Tibet! Free west Taiwan from PRC!
    1
  7114.  @xiphoid2011  that previous quote from the economist using 2015. Here is 2019: - The individual income tax is the most important source of revenue for the U.S. government, accounting for 50% of revenues in 2019. Individual income tax receipts are not nearly so important for China’s government. Relatively few (5-8%) Chinese actually pay income taxes. So as few as 5% of Chinese pay income taxes vs 50% in the US. Is a number 10x higher still about the same??
    1
  7115.  @xiphoid2011  “i never said anything about 2-3% vs 50% of people paying taxes”. From the start I said you were ignoring the MASSIVE differences between the two and you repeatedly refused to acknowledge it. So you saying “I never said anything about 2-3% vs 50%” is exactly my point — you are refusing to say anything about it. How can you believe you are engaging in a good faith argument? You said in the other comment which you refused to answer that what’s happening in China is “pretty much true everywhere more or less” and I brought up on many times that it’s more remotely similar and that scale is massively different. Yet you refuse to acknowledge the massive difference and still seem to suggest that 2-3% paying taxes is basically the same as 50% paying a tax. You have also refuse to prove you aren’t vvumao by refusing to acknowledge what’s happening in Xinjiang. so why refuse to acknowledge the massive difference between 2-3% vs 50%, continue to equate the situations, and refuse to acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang??

    1
  7142.  @ThisNovember  "How is something that didn't resolve the most important issues major?" Because it resolved some of the major issues -- the Palestinians got their own government, was recognized by their occupiers, and brought peace for a few years. Just because it didn't accomplish everything doesn't mean those aren't more significant accomplishments than getting two countries that are internationally recognized and major players in the global politics to agree to start talking. Do you work for China or something? If you try to compare the two, Iran - Saudi Arabia agreement's major accomplishment is reestablishing ties and diplomacy between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The Oslo Accords basically did that PLUS got the PLO recognized by Israel which it hadn't before. Then on top of that, the Palestinians people were able to form that government. Iran and Saudi Arabia already each had governments. You go up and down what both of these agreements did and it's clear the Oslo Accords is much bigger. Again, do you work for China?

May 25, 1990: Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu, in a meeting with President Roh Tae Woo, said: "I would like to take the opportunity here to humbly reflect upon how the people of the Korean Peninsula went through unbearable pain and sorrow as a result of our country's actions during a certain period in the past and to express that we are sorry" (Summit meeting with President Roh Tae Woo in Japan) The list goes on. You get it. Japan has indeed apologized many times so saying "Until Japan says the words "I'm sorry " from their mouth " just makes it appear that you have ignored all apologies and are just defending south korean leaders that continue to move the goal posts and never accept any Japanese apology.

I think the south part of the strip on the west side is where there are large casinos that are spaced out. Mandalay Bay - Luxor - Excalibur - NY NY - Park GM. That's about 1 mile of walking and you have to up stairs, down stairs, cross streets, etc.

  7200.  @skydragon23101979  The fact Choon is unable to state why so many want protection against CN while also making arguments that whatever CN says is right and those around CN should then come to negotiate with CN or else risk att@ck is very telling that Choon will only defend what CN says. So now I'm curious how you think it's good for CN to have most of it's trading partners begin to decouple or reduce trade with China, how the sanctions they have received is good, and why taking Taiwan by force with presumably hundreds of thousands of (CN) people dead is good for CN? Do you also think it's good CN doesn't allow free press and speech where all info is determined by the government?

  7201.  @mokomoko-el6li  " That is presuposing that 1) Taiwan will get invaded" The only way it doesn't happen is if the obstacles are too difficult for CN.

They are also trying to take territory from India. >that all those invasions will be successful So you support containing China so it isn't successful?

Second, maybe in CN they don't allow you see a the evidence? That US is gifting and then later selling Vietnam ships to help patrol the East Vietnam Sea. That Vietnam has ran naval exercise with the US. That Indonesia has raised serous concerns about CN and has been in communication with the US. Or the Philippines giving the US more bases. Or that Singapore allows US military ships to use their ports but not China. Also, I'm coming from the world perspective. Unlike Choon, I care about the people of Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore. Why cant Choon answer why all those countries seek protection against CN?

  7205. ​ @skydragon23101979  In summary, here are the contradictions and bad arguments made by Choon: 1. Unable to say why all those countries in East Asia and ASEAN want support against CN. 2. ASEAN is cooperating and not coerced into cooperating with CN because cooperation only happens if not coerced....but Europe is forced into cooperating with US because cooperation can be coerced. 3. Without a source or quote from ASEAN, ASEAN said they are clearly do not want external interference regarding their affairs all while ASEAN is indeed working with the US. 4. Argued that the starting point to the East Vietnam Sea is whatever position CN takes and THEN one has to discuss/negotiate with CN. 5. Blamed Philippines for CN attacking their boats even thought an international community voted against CN. 6. Is interested in defending CN & RU while pretending to care what’s best for Europe. 7. All of your arguments are that CN is right about everything and thus anyone that doesn't bow to their demands, it will be their fault if CN acts with military or other means. 8. Says that the US and world should not get involved in other countries issues while CN is allowed to become THE issue for other countries. 9. still refuses to say why SK, Japan, Taiwan, Phillipines and Singore have US bases and why Vietnam is working with the US -- all in part to contain CN.

  7207.  @skydragon23101979  > Your number one point is invalid you never pointed out why they wanted protection against the chinese. Invalid because Choon said so. And you just confirmed that they do want protection by asking me why they want protection. Can Choon make up his mind? You’re now agreeing they do want protection but disagreeing on why? And your argument is saying that if someone wants help from the US, they are a vassal? Wow, what an easy way to ‘win’ a debate! > best evidence for that is the recent leak The leaks that showed CN is working with RU regarding CN sending them support such as arms? Okay, good that you agree. I don’t know how you got that the US coerced them by eavesdropping but considering Choon said Europe is coerced to cooperate while at the same arguing that ASEAN isn’t coerced because cooperation means they aren’t coerced. > Nope I never said Europe is being coerced I said Europe is blindly following the position of the US without consideration of their interests. Marcon, who you defended, literally argued they are pressured to follow the US. Are you saying Macron is wrong? You literally argued that Europe needs more self-autonomy which is suggesting they forced to cooperate. Otherwise, Europe is doing EXACTLY what it wants. > ) I already said Asean made a statement clearly you can google I told you I did and was not able to find it. Why can’t you find it? Your VPN is clearly working. > Nope i never said starting point is whatever China said You’re right, if someone doesn’t say they did something, it means they didn’t do that. So If I said Choon is 5yr old brain, don’t reply back that I said Choon is not smart. > without diplomatic communications, it always reverts to law of the jungle whoever is stronger militarily gains No it doesn’t. It means that Choon believe that CN positions are valid all the time and if anyone disagrees, they have to negotiate with CN. So if CN declares tomorrow the Sea of Japan belongs to CN, then anyone that wants to use it must get approval from CN. Which other country is hitting fishing ships in the region at the rate CN does? This is also the CN that illegally sends it’s fishing ships into the economic waters of South America. > International community voted against China? where did you get that info? I have not heard of any international organisations that voted against China. Maybe because SeeSeePee doesn’t allow coverage of that. It was from the United Nations. Specifically from the Law of the Sea Treaty… is an international agreement that establishes a legal framework for all marine and maritime activities. As of June 2016, 167 countries and the European Union are parties. > That’s your perspective No, you are literally defending everything about CN. > why don’t you tell me from Europe’s perspective why does it benefit for Europe to be involved in the affairs of the south China sea or Taiwan and making an enemy of China? Why didn’t you answer how CN benefits acting as part of the axis of ev1|. 80% of world trade goes though the East Vietnam Sea including lots of trade that ends up in Europe. TW also has 80% of Chips and war would cause a major shortage leading to economic disaster. And last, EU is asking the world to help against RU so EU needs to help others in order to ever get support. > )Nope my arguments are based on facts and pragmatic solutions You mean based on the assumption that any position CN takes must be accepted and if one doesn’t, CN is in the right to use force against them. > Nope what I am saying is that you let the countries involved decide for themselves No, you have consistently argued that the US should stay out of the region. So, CN is allowed to be bully but US or anyone else cannot or should not help those bullied – that’s the argument Choon made. > South Korea, Japan, and Philippines have US bases those bases are there since after WW2 Yes, literally to contain CN. And SK, Japan and Philippines are free to kick the US out but instead they have continued to allow the bases and even expanded. Philippines just did a few weeks ago. > Singapore does not have ZuS base Changi Naval Base is open to the US and UK and just this year they opened it up to India. No China. Why? Funny how US, UK and India are all 3 countries trying to contain CN. Coincidence?

  7208.  @skydragon23101979  In summary, here are the contradictions and bad arguments made by Choon: New to the list: 1. States that my point in asking why ASEAN and EAST Asia want support at least in a part to defend against CN because I didn’t state why they wanted protection. Thus arguing that they do indeed all want US prescensse and support but you are not sure if it’s for CN or someone else. At the same time you said it wrong for US to be in the region. 2. Argued that anyone seeking support from US is v@ss@l and not acting out of their own interest. Thus no one has agency if they ask for help unless it’s help from CN like RU is doing. 3. US leaks show CN is doing arms deals with RU 4. Choon agreed with Marcon was describing how Europe is pressured (i.e. coerced) to cooperate with the US but then say ASEAN could not be coerced because cooperation means no coercion. Choon literally argued Europe needs more self-autonomy which is suggesting they forced to cooperate. Otherwise, Europe is doing EXACTLY what it wants. 5. Unable to provide me source that ASEAN said they clearly do not want external interference regarding their affairs. And could not explain why they are working with the US or have US bases if they don’t want external interference. 6. Argued that if someone doesn’t literally admit to using a certain tactic or doesn’t admit to saying a specific thing, it means they are not doing that at all. Thus Choon is 5 yr old brain – I’m not arguing anything about intelligence, right? Because I didn’t use the word intelligence. 7. Continues to argue that all CN positions are valid and must be respected. Anyone tht does not respect that position, CN is in the right to use force. But others cannot do the same and for example destroy the bases of CN in the West Philippine Sea. 8. UN ruled against China’s claims and actions against Phillipne. Yet Choon thinks CN is in the right to continue to @tt@ck anyone that goes in that area. 9. Choon argues that SK, Japan and Philippines have no agency and can not ask for US support so the argument Choon makes all the time is no one can ask for help, it’s only forced on them. You are right thought that the US doesn’t have a base in TW, they just have troops. 10. Singapore allows their base to be use by US, UK and India – all countries trying to contain CN. But they don’t allow CN. Why is that? And also: 1. Unable to say why all those countries in East Asia and ASEAN want support against CN. 2. ASEAN is cooperating and not coerced into cooperating with CN because cooperation only happens if not coerced....but Europe is forced into cooperating with US because cooperation can be coerced. 3. Without a source or quote from ASEAN, ASEAN said they are clearly do not want external interference regarding their affairs all while ASEAN is indeed working with the US. 4. Argued that the starting point to the East Vietnam Sea is whatever position CN takes and THEN one has to discuss/negotiate with CN. 5. Blamed Philippines for CN attacking their boats even thought an international community voted against CN. 6. Is interested in defending CN & RU while pretending to care what’s best for Europe. 7. All of your arguments are that CN is right about everything and thus anyone that doesn't bow to their demands, it will be their fault if CN acts with military or other means. 8. Says that the US and world should not get involved in other countries issues while CN is allowed to become THE issue for other countries. 9. still refuses to say why SK, Japan, Taiwan, Phillipines and Singore have US bases and why Vietnam is working with the US -- all in part to contain CN.

  7209.  @skydragon23101979  And why are you trying to ask questions about Europe as if Kiat actually hopes the best for Europe? Defending CN on everything including CN helping RU with arms is exactly why what Kiat says isn't in the best interest of Europe. I also didn't say Europe should put troops in Asia so nice strawman.
    1
  7210.  @skydragon23101979  Look, the main takeaway is that every argument you've made has been to take China's position as valid and that everyone then has to ask permission or negotiate from China. If they don't ask for permission, CN can use force. In addition, while you defend CN using force you are against other using force on CN or even preparing for defense. There is also a repeated argument you have made that anyone asking US for helps is being coerced by the US thus no agency when they cooperate with the US but when they cooperate with China, those countries are doing it under no coercion from China. The same China that has military in the disputed waters and hitting other boats.

  7211.  @skydragon23101979  Based on Kiat logic, it's right to hit the CN bases in the disputed sea because the whole world doesn’t think it belongs to CN. And CN bu.ll8ying neighbors is good, US helping those b8ullied is wrong.

  7222.  @XiaoPangZi  Great famine. Holdomor and Soviet famine. Gulags. North Korea famine. >When it comes to Vietnam though the only mistake was giving up. No one today would argue that fighting with SKorea was bad, today NK is a horrible place Yes. But also, it was too much of a cost for Americans. It dragged on for far longer than the US involvement in Korea. Defending SK also had more justification -- there was a treaty and it was broken by the North when they invaded. >If USA had not given up and kept on defending SVietnam there might today have been a very rich, technologically superior souther Vietnamese ally. I agree. I have been having this debate for over a week on this channel with a person from Vietnam that defends Russia. It was the weakest arguments I've seen. He will say he's not defending Russia in Ukraine but each time brings up things to blame the west. He says he overall supports Russia because they are an ally -- but even after I pointed out that Russia will support China over Vietnam in a conflict that is number one concern for Vietnam, he acknowledged that was true and yet says they are some he has faith in. At the same time, when I pointed out all the US is doing to contain China and defend Vietnam and others in that region, he was ungrateful and said 'So? they are still expanding so US cannot be tr1usted". He also tried to defend his support for Russia by criticiing the US and saying "they don't have their allies back. Look how they didn't help Argentina in 1982 Falkland". I pointed out to him that Argentina wansn't the ally, the UK was. I also pointed out that Russia cannot be counted on at all because they have a defense agreement with Armenia and didn't come to their defense. Then he just pivoted to "US didnt' come to support the UK in 1982 and UK is part of NATO, so how can any have tr1ust in them?!". Then I pointed out that the UK didn't ask for support and NATO specifically says that nothing in the southern hemisphere will be included in article 5 clause where members are to help each other if attacked. That exclusion of the south and some other areas was because it was not meant to defend colonies in 1940s when it was written. After a while I asked him he likes that northern vietnam won over south vietnam despite the fact that northern vietnam from the 1950's until the end of the war in 1970's were specifically "eliminating" (from life) 220,000 civilans and the fact that by the late 1980's, Vietnam started to ditch actual communist policies. He said he supports NViet because he is glad Viet didn't become a p^^üpp^^et of the US or any other nation. Which I then point to the fact that if Vietnam would have been alied with the US, they would have been as rich as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan plus have all those rights. He just said Vietnam is better off but no longer able to keep finding excuses. That's a long way for me to say that 100% sure Vietnam would have been better off yet the people just follow whatever their government says because their government is one responsible for all the news they get. >When it comes to Afghanistan again the only mistake was pulling out the troops. Going in was not a mistake but I do think it was too much cost for the US to keep going once Taliban made a resurgence around 2010. The government was just too c0rrupt and the country is too fractured into tribes. >Iraq was a mistake. I agree. I was against it then mostly because I kept thinking if our allies in Europe are not that sure Iraq has WMDs, then maybe Bush is wrong and we should start a wár with that much uncertainty. Huessein was bád and I do think in the long run it will be good for Iraq they they no longer have a brütál dictátõr. They already are better off today than 2002 but it did come at a big cost for the US and Iraqi people.

  7224.  @SuperSampling  South Korea and Japan were saved from communism. Several of the central American and south American anti-communist governments were supported by the US. US helped stop Soviets in Afghanistan. US protected Europe from further communism in addition to helping them rebuild so as to becomes anti-communist. Communism had support from large number of people in Europe that wasn't under the iron curtain. Or they did in the 40's and 50's. And they wore down the USSR that lead to their downfall.

  7255.  @mars7304  I think you 100% hit the nail on the head. I often feel like I really understand a situation but can't put it in writing -- then you wrote exactly what I was trying to convey. There are few things in science that are near 100% true. There are often conditions (under these conditions...) or a probability that isn't 100%. if something is believed to be true with 95% certain, I'm going to with that. But if it weren't for the right wingers going crazy, I would keep in mind that it's 95% certain and not 100% leaving room for some minor doubt. When one side starts acting dishonestly and hunkers down on positions that would be the minority (the 5% instead of the 95% ), it causes the other side to also dig in more than they otherwise would have. It's a whole mess that goes well beyond just science. It affects so much of politics. Just 'facts' about anything. This is where people spreading conspiracy theories come from. It's the idea that the facts don't matter but you will believe what you want to believe. So something non-science related, let's say Trump did X and there is 90% certainty he did it and Biden did Y but only 10% certainty he did that. Many right wingers will assume Trump is innocent of X because of that 10% possibility (they wont' even consider there's a chance he's guilty) and will assume Biden is guilty despite 90% chance he's not. Same is happening with vaccines. There is that tiny chance that something bad might happen and they decide that the tiny change of that bad things means that vaccines don't work and are dangerous. I honestly don't know if things will ever improve. The more that the right goes to the right and becomes ideological, the more the left is doing it as well. I get called right winger by the far left and I get called a socialist by the right wing. In reality, I'm very progressive socially and moderate left fiscally. I use to be very left fiscally but then went and got my MBA and had time in the work environment and started to realize my economic beliefs before we mostly based on wishful thinking. I became moderate to even moderate right on fiscal issues -- but the right went insane in the past 10 years and either I shifted more left as a response or I stayed the same but the moderate right moved to my right. Or both. My point being is that I was more flexible and now I feel I'm hunkering down on positions that should have more flexibility.

  7256. I'm not sure how Venezuela gets out of this. 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!

But Gaza voted for Hamas who are terrorist and Hamas wants to destroy all of Israel. Israel will never give up any lands and the only way to curb their aggression is for Palestinians to stop using terrorism and for neighboring countries to stop threatening Israel. But too many Palestinians want to evict all Jews or eliminate Israel that Israel feels threatens and overreacts. A two state solution is the only path to peace but it will only happen if terrorism subsides in the palestinian lands.

That doesn’t mean 40% gdp drop but Russia is having to replace 40% of their gdp with locals who likely won’t be as good and likely to run into supply issues from sanctions. It’s a serious long term impact. Short term, Russia is having to sell their energy on the cheap so it offsets some of the record high prices. Once oil and gas prices Stabalize even a little, Russia will see even bigger drops in revenue from energy.

  7308.  @gerardocorcuera  There is a balance but if you just keep giving money away rather than investing it in creating jobs and creating workforce, you will forever be stuck in poverty. Government should provide very basic welfare initially -- make sure they have access to healthcare, have access to affordable housing, and make sure they aren't starving. The rest should be spent on infrastructure, education, tax breaks to draw foreign investment, public transportation. Only as the country gets richer can they start to afford more than the very basic necessities. And staying on AMLO, his business policies are often based on supposedly trying to keep workers in the government owned industries rather than trying to actually develop those industries. That's an indirect way of 'giving money away'. He's increased nationalization of several sectors. This is especially a problem in a country with lots of corruption.

Or strike oil rich. so poor countries move up on the income ladder by making their cheap labor more easily available for foreign investors, that drives up wages, the govt then (or should) continue to invest in it's people so that as labor costs rise they have other things they can offer. Eventually if all works out, they will be like Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and a few others that went from poor to high income nations

And invading Russia was often difficult. "Russians now want to expand westward " yes, they act like it's the 19th century. Archaic, dangerous and civilization has moved forward. "but fortunately they took too big of a bite even for a bear as they like to call themselves. " And you know what would make Russia better off? Progress. Reducing corruption, having an actual democracy, having more rights, better international relationships, etc. But when a person becomes autocratic, what is best for the people isn't what the autocratic cares about.

This is my biggest problem. Neutral or 'nonbiased' does not mean taking the exact middle ground but that's what Caspian Report does which that ends up defending any terrible actors, in this case Russia. I turned notifications from this channel now and may do a full unsubscribe. The way info is presented in this channel has increasingly become more alarmist (fear mongering) and too often defending bad actors.

  7336.  @Boban-cf3jr  "simultaneously causing civil war ". What civil war? You mean Wagner? And a 'civil war' started by Russia itself invading a country that made no threats to Russia? Wagner (now deceased) chief even said Ukraine posed no threat to Russia before Russia invaded in 2022. How is this 99.9% NATO plan when all of this is purely from Russia itself being an aggressive state? You logic can be used to defend even Adolph. . Russia is aggressive (but completely downplayed in the video) and bullies it's neighbors and former puppet states. Those states are worried and join alliances for protection. Russia then sees those alliances as threats and thus has 'valid concerns' which they then use to follow through on the aggressiveness they have displayed.

One IMPORTANT thing missing in this video when comparing Russia to post WW2 Japan and west Germany is that both Japan and West Germany were occupied and after occupation willingly wanted to be allied with the US. Russias govt nor its people want that so this whole video is kind of moot. There is basically no chance the cooperation described here will happen. The west would not help Russia rebuild if Russia doesn’t make drastic changes and Russia will not make changes to appease the west

Over the next 50yrs it’s possible the Euro states see economic growth that’s much better and the US could see its own problems. A few other changes and that leads the Euro to be a better option…though it still has to get over the hurdle of convincing business, govt and the masses to switch. This is why I still think it’s unlikely to happen in the next 100.

  7413.  @internetuser2721  100%. The demographics is why the base level gdp of China isn’t 10% but say 6-7% now. And then it’s lower than that because of the factors you mentioned that are more short term such as mounting debt, Real estate crisis, and COVID lockdowns. And the CCP hasn’t been honest about gdp figures with some estimates saying China inflated their gdp numbers by 1-2% points which is a lot when taken over 20 years. Given that China opening up more means it’s more difficult to hide gdp numbers, it’s possible a big part of the decline is less padding to the gdp.

    1
  7419.  @J_X999  but the AI would be available for much of the world. You don’t think Japan or South Korea with even more expensive labor would be able to use AI? As for hypersonic missiles, japan and South Korea don’t invest in that because it doesn’t make them any money. Russia has weapons many rich countries don’t have but that doesn’t mean Russia is doing better economically (in fact they are poor, on par with Mexico or Colombia). Chinas gdp this year will under 4%. That will be 2nd time in 3 years they are under 4%.

  7420.  @J_X999  Japan with super expensive labor and low productivity as you claim isn’t using AI? Wow, it’s almost as if the perfect nation for AI isn’t using AI then it’s not the solution you claim. But when it does become a viable solution, AI would be used by Japan even more than China because Japan has much higher labor costs. And Chinas economic growth is slowing and will be under 4% for the 2nd time in 3 years — I guess AI doesn’t work that well.

    1
  7423.  @J_X999  Japan’s growth stagnated because their work force began to shrink in the 90’s. It wasn’t because their labor became unproductive— it was mostly declining workforce. It’s working age population is down 14% from its peak in 1995!
    1
  7424.  @J_X999  Japan has seen a 14% decline of its working age population since 1995 so you can bet demographics is the leading factor for Japan’s stagnation. It also ranks number 21 in the world in per capita productivity, ahead of Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. At 21 it can improve but it’s not as bad as you say and you are incorrect to suggest demographics isn’t the biggest issue

  7426.  @drumpfdon760  do I see a decline in China exports? Well, people have been spending far more on goods since the pandemic started but China is expected to see GDP growth under 4% for the 2nd time this year in 3 years so yeah — there is some decouping. Many companies are moving some of their operations to Vietnam, India, Bangladesh and Mexico. China’s gdp annual growth is now becoming normal — under 4% will be the norm. They won’t make high income country ever at this pace — unlike their neighbors South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan who hit high income years ago before their growth came down to normal
    1
  7427.  @drumpfdon760  japan stagnated in the 90’s because their working age population has shrank 14% since it peaked in 1995. Hey vvumao, are you allowed to say what’s going on in Xinjiang
    1
  7428.  @drumpfdon760  fun fact, the plaza across was actually the 80’s and had little impact on japan. It was japans 14% decline of working age population. Also, japan was manipulating their currency which lead to the plaza accords
    1
  7429.  @drumpfdon760  so you ignore the 14% decline in working age population? Plaza affords where in 1985. Between 1987-1990, those 4 years each had 4.7% to 6.8% gdp growth. No year between 1980 and 1984 had a higher year of growth than any single year 1987-1990. So late 80’s had considerably bigger growth than early 80’s in Japan. Why won’t you accept these facts and why won’t you accept there is a g8noc1de in Xinjiang?
    1
  7430.  @drumpfdon760  why can’t you acknowledge the g8noc1de in Xinjiang? Contract won’t allow it?
    1
  7431.  @drumpfdon760  I literally gave you the gdp growth before and after the plaza and after the plaza accord, it had its best growth in years. Are you saying japan and the world bank are wrong about the gdp growth of that period?

  7434.  @drumpfdon760  why can’t you admit what China is doing in Xinjiang?
    1
  7435.  @drumpfdon760  yeah, early 90’s, and Working population growth was zero and started declining shortly afterwards. Nothing defends your argument that 1985 plaza accord led to shrinking economy 6-7 years later when in those 6 years it was among the highest growth Japan had since the 60’s. Why can’t you admit what’s going on in Xinjiang? Are u on a contract?

  7436.  @Superpooper-2020  india only wishes they can do g8noc1de as good as China does in Xinjiang.

  7437.  @drumpfdon760  wait, you are contractually unable to admit the g8noc1de in Xinjiang l?
    1
  7438.  @drumpfdon760  and you say the plaza accord was one of the main factors for the decline of japans economy even though for the 6 years after the accords, japan had their best economic growth since the 60’s? Japans economic growth in each of final 4 years of the 80’s (87-90) was higher than every year between 1980-1984. In fact,all 4 years 87-90 were higher than all but two years between 2 of the 11 years 1974-1984.
    1
  7439.  @drumpfdon760  another way to put it, between 1974-1990, 1987-1990 had 4 of the top 6 years.
    1
  7440.  @drumpfdon760  you are also forgetting that Japan was manipulating its currency which is unfair trade practice which lead to the plaza accords
    1
  7441.  @drumpfdon760  there is a study that calls out the typical conspiracy you vvumaos use on this topic: - One legacy of the Plaza is a sort of conspiracy theory that has continued to circulate widely in Asia. The theory is that the United States deliberately sabotaged the Japanese economy. The most common version is that the effect came via endaka, the strong yen, which priced Japanese manufacturing out of world markets.33 The idea is that the US successfully used this weapon against Japan at the Plaza in 1985, then against Korea in 1988-89, and against China in the years since 2004. - In some ways the suspicion is understandable, given the long-time pattern of pressure from the US Treasury on Asian countries to appreciate their currencies. It is true that the yen appreciated sharply against the dollar after the Plaza, more than did the European currencies. - It is also true that Japan’s GDP has mostly stagnated since 1990, after decades of strong growth. But the timing is not quite right for the conspiracy theory. In between the 1985-86 appreciation of the yen and the Japanese recessions of the 1990s came the bubble years 1987- 89, when exchange rate policy was no longer working to push the yen up, but rather to support the dollar. A variant of the conspiracy theory is that Japanese purchases of dollars during the bubble years led to excessive money growth and thereby to the soaring prices of equities and real estate in Japan. The bursting of that bubble then led to the Japanese recession. But this is virtually the opposite of the theory that the Plaza did it: buying dollars is the opposite of selling dollars.

  7442.  @drumpfdon760  I literally gave you quotes for research saying the plaza accord didn’t cause japans economy to stagnate for 30 years and I gave you the facts that the 6 years after the plaza accord japan had its best growth since the 60’s but you just ignored it? In addition, you bring up France and Germany? Germany would have some strong growth as well in late 80’s and early 90’s peaking at 5.26% and 5.11% in 1990 and 1991, it’s highest 2 yrs of growth in decades. Even more proof the plaza accord didn’t cause what you say. Oh, and France also had tremendous growth in late 80’s, peaking at 4.7% in 1988 which is the biggest growth year since 1974. Second biggest growth year for France since 1974??? 1989.
    1
  7443.  @drumpfdon760  so basically the research says plaza accords didn’t cause japans downfall, Japan saw it’s best growth after the 60’s was 87-90…and Germany and France also had their best growth years in the few years after the plaza accord. Almost seems like they all benefited from the plaza accords. In comparison, the US saw smaller growth in the late 80’s than japan Germany and France and US peaked in late 90’s
    1
  7444.  @drumpfdon760  I’m confused why you ask 1980-2000 Japan? From 1970-2022, the best growth was 1987-1990. Mid and late 80’s was also best years for Germany and France over the past 40 years. You said plaza accords destroyed those countries yet they all had their best economic growth shortly after the plaza accords. Only Japan would later have issues because their working population began to decline. Same will happen to China. China bad

I guess China joining the wto which lead to 10%+ growth 2000-2010 was horrible because it’s growth has declined since then!!

South Korea and Japan made it to high income, China won’t!

You won’t see that in South Korea or Taiwan.

  7449.  @vchanpe1  where did you hear that? In China? Japans national debt was consistent and relatively low mid 80’s to 90’s. It didn’t spike until after their economy stagnated and I’m guessing it spiked in an attempt to stimulate japans economy

Turkey needs the EU for economic reasons and that’s probably the only major reason Turkey wants closer ties with EU. It’s not relayed to other shared interests like democracy, rule of law, reducing corruption, etc. Turkey under the current leadership would be a bigger problem to the EU than Hungary and Poland have been. At least Poland is sort of changing within the EU since Russia invaded Ukraine.

  7468.  @ssrbgangimaribotan6thofthe12  what an odd argument - considering the worlds economy is like 10% trade with China but 100% trade China does is with other countries. 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? I’m not saying there aren’t consequences for the world in such a scenario but the consequences would be the hardest on the one country being sanctioned by the world.
    1
  7469.  @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.
    1
  7470.  @ssrbgangimaribotan6thofthe12  because you can’t understand the simple analogy of how China is hurt more when sanctions are placed on them, I have no belief that you actually don’t like China.

  7472. There is a possibility this broader South China Sea issue will be a bigger problem than threats of China to invade Taiwan. China is essentially trying to steal the South China Sea from it's neighbors. Sure, many countries make claims for a huge area of SCS but it's China's aggression with building so many artificial islands, placing large military bases, and then actually trying to prevent ships and air planes from using much of what they claim. This has potential to really boil over between China on one side and Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, and Indonesia on the other side. In addition, many countries in Asia and outside of Asia use the SCS which means even more countries would be affected.

Russia invaded Georgia and took a big chunk via it's proxy govt there. Then did the same in Ukraine in 2014...and in 2022. All while threatening to use a nuclear weapon many times which is a sign of a government that cannot be trusted and has aggression in their goals.

Also ignored is that Russia chose not to use their veto on the UN sanctioned no fly zone of Libya and the fact that Arab League supported it. By 2011, the west was fed up with Russia.

There was major disagreement within Japan that there was an attempted mlitary coup against the Emperor a day or two before the Emperor would publicly (on radio) confirm they will be surrendering. Russia had also committed to declare war on Japan and fight them within 3 months of the end of European front. They made this commitment at the Yalta Conference in Feb 1945 after the US requested Soviet support in the pacific to end the war quicker.

"all of them locked in the middle income trap.". China is stuck on that. Their GDP growth is not expected to be around 3% on average over next 20 years with GDP growth expected to be near 2% in 2040.

  7521.  @maxheadrom3088  I've read up on this though everyone has their opinion. In short it's Mexico just let the cartels slowly take power and corrupt much of the government. Then in the 2000's they were pressured by the US to do something about it but it was too late, the cartels had too much power, too much money, too involved in governments and police, etc. So it was hard to take them down and when they did take down some leaders, that caused increased fighting over who will take control. It just keeps repeating. Take out the top guy, a turf war ensues. And when they (govt/police/military) are trying to stop their activities, the cartels know their moves often and don't get caught or are ready for a battle.. They know their moves because much of the govt and police force are on the payroll of cartels -- some willingly and others forced to cooperate. Same problem exist with gangs in many US cities.

  7522.  @joaocerceau5810  " after some time, they will reach a limit in witch no company or foreign agent will just keep improving their country. After that they have develop more on their own,'". yes, that's how a country can escape the middle income trap. They need to develop their own . >China and India have a scale and a development problem on their own, I don't see that problem. A larger country means more opportunities to try things or more investment opportunities. It's far easier for a country with 1.4 billion people to develop some company or industry than a country with 50 mil, in large part because a 1.4b country has huge domestic market that can prop it up and then it could become a global company with that economy of scale they had due to 1.4 billion domestic market. Look at BYD electric vehicles. Started out selling in large volume inside of China and now spreading globally. China's problem now and moving forward has to do with some decisions they made. One child policy has lead to a population decline and a big drop in working age population with increase in elderly population is going to happen over the next few decades. Fewer workers means lower GDP potential and more elderly (to each worker) means more of the resources will be spent on economically unproductive things such as support for the elderly. China has also scared away a lot of investors in recent years under Xi. Then their housing market which was just a pyramid scheme is crumbling. It was responsible for 30%+ of GDP since 2000 but it's going to be far less going forward. India is too early too tell. They are seeing 7-8% annual GDP growth for several years now. Can they keep it up? Time will tell.

You’re basically looking for any way to keep to your argument that US is disliked by most around the world. The 37 you mentioned appears to be from only one polling group, pew research.

In the several years after independence, millions died in violence. - "Authoritarian regimes will exist throughout the world why does the US choose which ones get destroyed? Why has Saudi Arabia not been destroyed? Or Israel?" Because you know that isn't practical. If the goal during the cold war was to stop the spread of communism, do you think the US should have invaded Soviet Union? No, they need to be practical and realistic. If there was an easy way to cause regime change in Saudi Arabia, the US likely would have done that by now. But there isn't.

  7542.  @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
  7543.  @小马-q4u  “still keep doing it”. You’re talking about Chinas g8nocide of Uyghurs? So you admit they are still doing it?
    1
  7544.  @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
  7545.  @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
  7546.  @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
  7547.  @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

  7552. ​ @arcturionblade1077  ​ The biggest issue (unless you're in the lower 30% of income) is people are not very smart when it comes to saving and are just big consumers. Wanting bigger homes, better cars, etc. The govt could help doing what Australia does and require X% of income of an individual be directly put into a retirement account. So basically, a 401k that's required though unlike a 401k, the Australian model does allow certain actions that you can't do with a 401k. At the same time, keep social security. So in such a scenario, everyone has social security AND everyone has 401k. People are not smart; governments should help save their own money.

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

  7569.  @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.

  7570.  @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.

  7571.  @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

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.

  7594.  @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
  7595.  @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.

  7596.  @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!

  7597.  @pepelepew1227  "taiwan sk japan hasnt grown much in the last 10 years and their growth towards developed economies were under military rule."

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
  7598.  @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!

  7601.  @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.

  7603.  @pepelepew1227  do you know what ppp and per capita mean?

  7605.  @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.

  7611. You hit it right on the head with two parts. I think social media & 24/7 news have made people far more pessimistic as all they see is constant bad news in the news and constant luxury lives on social media. The other part is 4:55. I’m a young gen Xer. I entered the job market out college at start of 2002 during a recession (had trouble finding a job and settled on any job) and I bought a condo in 2007 only to go through rough times 2008-2012. But one thing different between me and most millennials is that I was not consumed by social media like younger folks are.

They could have built that first before many of these HSR routes.

  7645.  @tawnyflower-in5yy I think Chinese broccoli is somewhat popular in southern or SE China where many US Chinese immigrants came from…but Chinese broccoli is only remotely similar to broccoli and was hard to get in the US a century ago so they used “regular” broccoli instead.
    1
  7646.  @1337hacks Chinese broccoli is only remotely similar to broccoli. It’s leafy and thus sometimes called Chinese kale. They have a little similarity in taste but Chinese broccoli being leafy makes it superior for stir fry and changes the meal a lot as a result.

This is already down from the 5.5% they had forecast at the start of the year.
    1
  7663.  @catonpillow  Also consider that these forecast of 5% are not only down from estimates earlier in the year but down from government targets. In addition, it's coming with massive government spending so it's not even a true 5% GDP growth.

  7664.  @juliec5309  that’s a good question I wished they asked. Or maybe they have and I missed it. Russia is rich in resources, has a good size of arable land, is right next(or part of) to a huge market (Europe). Has a strong educated classes. Yet still well behind much of Europe and some former Soviet states have already passed Russia in per capita income and or wealth. The answer is clearly corruption and bad policies but I’d like see how Russians see it, especially those that support Putin.
    1
  7665.  @nomcognom2414  the thing about democracy is that people generally aren’t supportive of it until they truly experience it. Russians have never truly experienced it and thus don’t quite understand it nor strongly support real democracy. They might call Russia a true democracy if they support Putin because their view of democracy is what Putin has described to them what democracy is. Even in China the government spreads mis info about “Chinese style democracy” saying their system is democracy but works different than the west. But once Chinese move to the west and live there for years, they usually stop calling China any type of democracy and come to like western style democracy.

The only reason we were able to travel inland so much was my then s/o is from China so she was able to find hotels we can stay at. We went to the famous rice terraces of Yunan. It was so beautiful but I was shocked how poor that state was because the government tries to hide those scenes. I went inland in 2017 but I've heard it became increasingly anti foreigner since then. I went to China again in 2020 right when Covid brokeout LOL. I got a few days of stuff before the country began to shut down. I was already noticing less friendly behavior to foreigners at that time....I guess Xi had been doing his thing for the previous 3 years between my visits.

  7688.  @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. The cost for the whole process of oil and gas exploration and then actually drilling is expensive. A poor country with 200 million people can spare $50 billion more than an upper income country if just 3 million people.

  7692. this one was pretty spot on. There isn't much to debunk. The ones where he has gotten debunked were the "How X stole Y" series. But since he was called out on the first of "how Europe stole Y" episode, began working with some fact checkers / historians. His last episode on the European series was much more factual. He had exaggerated some parts earlier for the purpose of story telling but I think he's cut back on that since then. The only part he might have problems with in this video is when he takes a few minutes to go in depth on the science and mfg of the chips. But that's not the important part of the video so it won't deserve a "Johnny Harris debunked!" video.

How does Russia recover from this? They have basically made enemies of half the words GDP and sanctions on them will continue for many years. The only way I see Russia getting out of this huge long term mess (Russia is expected to be in a recession for multiple years and already entered it in 2022 with most estimates saying it will continue until at least 2025) is if they remove Putin, give up the lands they stole, and agree to pay at least in part to rebuild Ukraine. But Russians too Evil to ever agree to that so Russia will stay in deep economic trouble for many years.

  7747.  @starletteeve3097  so you agree it’s pronounced Similar? And your new argument is they are spelled differently? That’s still subject to the trademark enforcement because it’s still Similar- hence Burger Keen is spelled differently than Burger King but still likely a trademark infringement

Watermelons in the US are usually sold per unit and not weight and if it’s in season, they go for $5-$7 for the larger watermelons. My guess on weight is 10-15lbs or 4-6kg. They also sell smaller more round watermelons (larger tend to be oval). They sell for $3-$6 in season and weigh 5-10lbs or 2-4kg.

  7805.  @ycplum7062 Mexico has some of the worst geography in the world. The only legit flat areas for possible large civilization populations are up in the highlands of central Mexico and the Yucatán. But the highlands in central Mexico don’t have many if any seriously navigable rivers and because of the mountains to get up to that elevation from the sea and vice versa, it makes international trade terribly difficult. And the Yucatán is terrible for agriculture and minerals which means it has little to trade with international partners. A country with so much coastline has only one very good port that still makes it difficult to move stuff up to the highlands and back down, no good navigable rivers, northern 1/3 is a desert snd Yucatán has terrible soil.

  7806.  @afrz4454 at best, Yucatán would have been a US territory with lots of autonomy. But most likely, yeah they wouldn’t be able to hold it for a long time or would be too costly to hold they would ditch it (like Brits did with US)

  7825.  @rimfire8217  It's a potential problem especially given the massive bribing operations that CN has. if you want details of such an operation, look up Vice News story "Undercover In Guyana: Exposing Chinese Business in South America". they catch the operation and CN govt is paying bribes to Guyana's leader to not only accept CN projects but also to break ties with Taiwan. But with all the trade Malaysia does with Japan and western powers, it should make it harder for Malaysia to be a pupet of China.
    1
  7826.  @rimfire8217  To see how China can manipulate Malaysia to some extend, Malaysia has openly criticized China many times on the detention centers of Uyhgurs. But at the UN, in order to not upset CN, they did not cast a vote in support or opposition to CN on the Xinjiang issue.

No, India isn’t doing that. India just does what’s best for India. Or 2. Yes, because the west the bad. Indian nationalist can’t take any critic just like trump supporters and CCP supporters
    1
  7844.  @Chinzahau  Yes, many Indians support Russia, especially the nationalist. It's almost because of past historical ties but like you guys said in these comments, India does what is best for India and siding with Russia in any amount is bad for India. Your 'loyal friend' is closer friends to the enemy Ch1na. India also has FAR more trade with the US than Russia and add in all the western allied countries, trade with Russia is just a fraction of all that western trade. India is also working with the US and other western countries in combating China's influence and potential military expansion. I get to some point the reason behind support for Russia. But it's wrong to argue they are best for India. And does a country really want to keep a friendship with the d8vil that is a international pariah and which offers little benefit (relative to the west) and that is in decline? I have to say that I generally liked your response to me because you acknowledge it has to do with loyalty from past actions so we don't need to disagree on that important element. Many other responses I've seen just outright defend what Russia is doing.

  7845.  @jonson856  Yes, there is a big movement by nationalist in those countries and nationalist make up a huge % of those countries. Sure, you'll also see some from the west but it's a very small% relative to China, Russia and India.

  7846.  @rosswasonabreak7002  siding with Russia isn’t best for India economically nor for its national defense concerns. India does most export trade with US and half of its export trade with the west. Russia is closely allied with China and India is working with the west to defend against China in the Asia pacific region. So how is it better for India to stay close Allies of Russia?

They have bought the majority of their weapons from Russia. They increased their purchase of Russian goods in 2022. They are against sanctions on Russia. They work with Russia in BRIC. They work with Russia on literally the project of this video. The people of India have positive opinion of Russia. So how is that not an ally? Can you even acknowledge the invasion of Ukraine was wrong and the fault of Russia/Putin without trying to put blame on the west?

Thats why I can't stand him. he gets 90% of it right but then makes some large assumptions or flat out ignores relevant information to fill in the final 10%. One can still learn from that youtube channel but it will NEVER change minds -- it's preaching to the choir. But i'll check out it on occasion to pick up some facts that I can verify myself afterwards. In comparison, I love NPR and PBS. I fully trust (as much as one can for any source) what they say because they will give all sides and when I have fact checked it elsewhere, their facts always hold. Preachy sources are just preaching to the choir. More balanced sources are the ones that change minds. I can see an argument that both are useful. The preachy sources that are still mostly factually correct (just ignore context or other information) can be good tool to learn more pieces of information about a topic -- just take it with some precaution and don't preach what you learned there unless you have verified elsewhere. I consumer the occasional moderate right news, often economic and financial news sources. It's a good source of information but I also have to verify any major information elsewhere.

Lobbying by local airlines and likely rental car companies 4. Jones Act etc requiring boats made in the US and operated by Americans. This adds lots of costs

  7863.  @alinaamosova9025  I don't think it's UBI at all. It appears to be more like earned income tax credit (EITC). It's a negative income tax if you are below a certain income. UBI is a flat amount given to everyone. The US has had the EITC since 1975. It is a great policy and better than welfare though that doesn't mean we should cut welfare -- I just think we should utilize EITC more. It incentivizes the poor to actually work.

  7867. ​ @文雯-o6o  I also googled how it's taught in China and I see two answers from Chinese. It's pretty much the same -- mostly reduce the US impact to the two atomic bombs and lots of emphasis on USSR. First response: - When I was in high school, the history books wrote about world war 2 like following. - Mainly divided into 2 parts, Anti-Japanese War, WW2. - For the war of resistance against Japan, it mainly describes the important points , including the 1931 incident, and then the KMT still engaged in civil war. After the events of 1937, the war stared totally. After the Nanjing Massacre, the Kuomintang organized a battle in Shanghai. Then the strategic retreat, the Pingxingguan battle, the battle of Taierzhuang, the Hundred-Regiment Campaign. After the atomic bomb was dropped, the Soviet Union invaded the northeast to repel the Japanese. The second was: - Since I spent my junior high and part of high school education in China, I think I have some first hand experience on this topic. - Chinese education divided history into 2 sections: Chinese history and World History. WW2 was mentioned in both sections. - Here is 7th grade world history section WW2 pacific theater. - The text book is public data and can be found at: - The simple translation is “In Pan-Asian theater, the people of Asia fought against Japanese aggressors who refused to surrender. US Forces fought against Japanese Empire at the sea then dropped two atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Meanwhile Soviet Union declared war to Japanese empire and advanced to Northeastern China and Korean peninsula. Aug. 15th, Japanese Empire had no choice but declared surrender.” - I don’t think any other way can be more neutral and objective. - If, people in Pan Asian gave up and providing natural resources and manpower to Japanese forces, - If, Soviet Union had not advanced to Northeastern China and destroyed Japanese Northeastern China Army group, which contains 993,000 soldiers, 5,360 artillery, 1,155 tanks and about 1,800 aircraft. (USSR had to sent 1.7 million soldiers in this fight, also the last major operation in WW2, which rarely be mentioned in history book.) , - If, the US hadn’t drop two atomic bombs to Japan, the war would surely last longer and many people would die Both the above mostly reduce the US impact to just the 2 atomic bombs and no mention that 2/3 of Japanese losses were from the US in just a 3 year period. And a 3rd reply: - Here are some pictures from the history textbooks Chinese History (the old ones and the new one): - So it says it’s China and the world that defeated Japan. About world history, though I haven’t a picture, as I remembered, it’s the world that defeated the fascist too. And the overwhelming force is not the US, it’s Soviet. The US doesn’t appear much in a Chinese history textbook. - update: Just got some captures from the World History, old vision and new. To my suprise, the US appears a lot. And still, soviet appears more. So this 3rd response from a Chinese even mentions that in the older Chinese history textbook, the US doesn't appear much. So even if they said the US was the biggest factor besides China, it will get lost if they spent much more time talking about Soviets defeating Japan than US defeating Japan.

  7868. ​ @文雯-o6o  On a more academic level and a longer history of how WW2 (or the whole China-Japan war that actually started earlier than WW2), this book review on "China Good War" from 2020 by historian Rana Mitter: - At issue is the traumatic period from 1931 to 1949...The Chinese have a very different picture of these events, one that has changed over time. For the first three decades of the People’s Republic, the War of Resistance against Japan (as it is called in China) was downplayed except to laud the contributions of Communist units while suppressing the major role of the national army. On at least two occasions, Mao expressed gratitude for the Japanese invasion, asserting—I think correctly—that it had made his victory over Chiang Kai-shek possible. But in the 1980s academic historians began to accord the War greater attention and respect. Officials cautiously allowed their work to seep into the wider culture. Though it took several decades more, the sacrifices and achievements of the Nationalist troops came to be more fully acknowledged. - But with this new attention came a remarkable interpretation, in which resistance to the Japanese invasion was framed as a principal—as well as the first, and the longest—part of the worldwide war against fascism. In this view, it was not the naval and amphibious conflict in the Pacific but rather the land battles in China that constituted the most important theater and were essential to the eventual triumph over Japan. The important part is that it seems that in the 1980s, China slowly began to teach the Japan/WW2 history with more acknowledgement of the actual events. My ex and the people I mentioned were in grade school in the 80’s or early 90’s. What they learned may have been very different than what a child learned in the 2000’s or what they learn today in 2023.

  7871.  @ShubhamMishrabro  "Those people don't think they're acting racist" No racist thinks that. ". They're not aware it is bad whereas Americans know something is bad and they will use it to insult the countries." The same people insulting other countries are often the least educated in the US who also grew up in pockets of 'their tribe'. Those that are more educated and more informed and more experienced with other groups and cultures aren't generally the ones making insults of other people/countries. You have leaders like Modi who actually enact horrible policies to make Muslim minorities a second class and trying to evict millions of them. You have Xi who is actively trying to erase Uyhgur & Muslim culture and sending millions to camps. These leaders are very well informed and not i-g-orant. (spelled that word weird so YT doesn't do anything).

" Americans have most access to internet." And so do Chinese? And so do Russians? You think in China it's only the small % who don't have access to the internet that have hateful views of others? Having access to the internet doesn't mean that people are using it to get educated and improve their views.

  7873.  @hehejo8568  But the EU would never shut off Switzerland like that unless of course they did something truly horrible which wouldn't be something that we would ever expect from Switzerland. My point is that the Swiss benefit tremendously by being surrounded by countries that likely will never again invade Switzerland -- the EU provides that buffer from Russia, China, Middle-East, etc.

  7874.  @janekmundt579  The swiss neutrality was forced on them 200 years ago but they could have at anytime got rid of it if they wanted to. Like Sweden did and to some extend (at least in regards to Russia), Finland did too.

They are less likely to move (thus won't be able to get the best jobs), they cut back on spending, etc. Then he stated about those who bought an extra home as investment "what are they going to do, stop buying food?". He has zero understanding of the issue and just repeating CCP arguments. Those people who have a home investment will be cutting back on spending -- buy fewer cars, take fewer trips, go to restaurants less often, spend less on clothes, etc.

Given 18-24 is only 6 yeas and the next few are 9yrs, it would mean the younger the demographic the higher share of the audience. But I'm surprise it's not that much bigger difference.

  7912. Great video. He was certainly very flawed before the war but has proven to be a great war time president. One possible upside to the war is that Zelensky or whoever replaces him will now actually take on corruption and try to greatly minimize it. Zelensky just removed several officials this month for corruption -- so it's possible. Before the war, Ukraine and Russia were arguably the two most corrupt. After this war, Russia will stay among the most corrupt but there is a possibility Ukraine will improve. I follow a Ukrainian living in the US who has a YT channel about life in the Soviet Union. He's a Russian speaking Ukrainian like Zelensky. He was negative on Zelensky before the war and than he did another video about Zelensky a few months after the war started. He changed his mind on Zelensky not because he was wrong but because Zelensky has changed or has handled the new chapter far better than the previous chapter.

  7920.  @vicentefrancavalcarcel3995  100% agree. It's not a difficult job to automate. Unions will likely block it. I know in my City in the US there is a city to suburban line and they still do the ticketing manually because the union of the train ticket collector blocked automating the process. So a worker still comes around collecting tickets or scanning your online pass. You could easily just have the scanning done before entering the train to get past. 25% of the train conductors on this line make over $100,000 a year.

How do you not know that? Second, the money was put in those reserves by the former government and do not belong to the Taliban. If you’re claiming that it belongs to the Taliban because they are now in charge of the country, then you were wrong to say it belongs to the people who were friendly with the former government. In addition, if the money belongs to the Taliban government simply for being in charge of the country, then the blame for 9/11 must also belong to the Taliban. You seem very often to twist everything to soften the fault of the Taliban in either 9/11 the economic collapse or the reserves in the US.

  7950.  @Meh-hr7gq  on Ukraine, from wiki: - Trump blocked payment of a congressionally mandated $400 million military aid package to allegedly obtain quid pro quo cooperation from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump released the aid after becoming aware of a whistleblower complaint about his activities relating to Ukraine, before the complaint was known by Congress or the public.[6] A number of contacts were established between the White House and the government of Ukraine, culminating in a phone call between Trump and Zelenskyy on July 25, 2019 - The White House corroborated several allegations raised by the whistleblower. A non-verbatim transcript of the Trump–Zelenskyy call confirmed that Trump requested investigations into Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, as well as a conspiracy theory involving a Democratic National Committee server, while repeatedly urging Zelenskyy to work with Giuliani and Barr on these matters.
    1
  7951.  @Meh-hr7gq  As a result, Biden leveraged $1 billion in aid as "a stick to move Ukraine forward," Kupchan said. "He was acting alongside our European allies. Everybody was of a single mind that this prosecutor was not the right guy for the job."

They always interfere with Ukraine and other countries — with a threat to invade if they don’t remain puppet of Russia. In 2014 Ukrainians wanted a deal with EU and Russia invaded Ukraine and took Crimea. So your saying it’s Ukraines fault because they wanted protection from Russia who would indeed invade Ukraine the moment they could?

  7967.  @openmindz7689  Hunter WAS investigated and Republicans found no wrongdoings.

  7995.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  So you agree that Ch-ina is aggressive and a threat to others?

  7996.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  so you’re saying chîna doesn’t have cöncéntrátion camps nor threatening to invade to Taiwan nor using its military to try to take south sea nor oppressing Hong Kong?

  7997.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  why is that all of Chinas neighbors in the east hate or are worried about PRC? From Vietnam to Taiwan to Japan to South Korea to Indonesia
    1
  7998.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  you already admitted Chïna is a threat to others (peaceful nations like Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam). So you’re point is change the topic and point out how US is a threat to dangerous threatening regimes?
    1
  7999.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  why is Syria threat? So RUS killing thousands of civilians to defend Assad dropping chemical weapons is okay but US protecting Kurds in the northeast is bad? Well, you already agreed Chînâ and Rus are dangerous so there that
    1
  8000.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  Syria is threat to Kurds. US was helping Kurds. Rus was helping the guy dropping chemical weapons and RUS was targeting civilians. And you already admitted Chi is threat to its peaceful neighbors

  8005.  @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.

I guess if you are being paid, there is no evidence against China!

  8025.  @inuwooddog3027  “it’s awkward” but it’s literally what you said and suggested. So you did suggest Chinese govt destroyed or damaged 2/3 of mosques in a few short years but you seem to think it doesn’t mean much? Then we have pictures and evidence of some 380 camps built to house these detainees. Then we have hacked CCP documents detailing their plan to mass arrest Muslims for what amounts to simply practicing Islam and then other hacked CCP documents detailing how they treat the Muslim detainees including torture and admitting the detainees will be shot if they leave (“Xinjiang police files”).

  8033. There's many reasons Ukraine keeps fighting for Bakhmut. By most accounts, Russia is losing far more people as they are just sending large number of troops into the battle often just to try to overwhelm Ukraine and make small gain after small gain but at a huge costs. But also, if Ukraine just gave up Bakhmut, Russia would just be doing the same in the next town. Third, it's very likely that Ukraine is waiting on the next batch of more powerful weapons so this is a way to deplete Russian forces and weapons while Ukraine waits for the weapons to do their own surge.

  8043.  @skynat247  Chinas government is bad though. They are indeed preparing for invasion of peaceful Taiwan and the only thing holding them back is the resistance created by the US and Taiwans Allies such as much of nato, japan, Australia, etc. we didn’t think Putin would be bad enough to invade Ukraine and yet he did. China (or Xi) might do the same if he believes he can win quickly. The fact that Xi has made himself dictator much like Putin should worry everyone. However, I don’t think China is anywhere near the point of being able to pull out invasion. And russia in Ukraine has shown how the west unified and acted against Russia in response so the price to invade Taiwan will be more expensive. Most importantly, the fact russia mobilized 200,000 troops around Ukraine and the west didn’t think Putin would do but Putin proceed to invade means that any mobilization by China will already have everyone prepared as if an invasion is going to happen. That would mean the west will supply Taiwan with far more weapons. It means the west likely will send in navy ships in or near Taiwan forcing China to attack to other countries if it want to attack Taiwan. It means that Taiwan will be prepared to shoot any and all military ships or equipment or sites it can hit once the war starts.

  8044.  @skynat247  blaming this channel for being anti China? Why do you support China invading Taiwan? Or why do you support Russian invading Ukraine — China has allied with Russia and been as supportive as possible without outright admitting they are supporting the invasion. why do you support conc camps of large number of Muslims (mostly Uyghurs)? I’m trying to understand why someone wouldn’t be anti CCP or anti Putin in 2023? What good are they that you think people should not be anti Xi and anti Putin?

" All i want is the world to be multipolar where countrues can be independent not under a unipolar empire like US " And how is the world a better place with the terrirble governments that are Russia and China? How does that improve the world? Again, that's saying that Germany & Japan in 1930's and 40's made the world a better place. ". But taiwan is legally a part of china" Legally, by who? So whatever China wants, it means its' right? This also means you support South Korea invading North Korea. It also means you support India invading China to take the lands it 'legally' owns on the border. It also means you support Japan invading Russia to take back the Kruil Islands.

  8046.  @muhammadadeel8639  US is bigger evil than Russia or China? The same China that had 50 million people killed because of Mao? Or Russia that had 20million killed, many in gulags? Or do you wan to talk about 2023 and the future, which is all that is important to this discussion? "Once the world is free of US Hegemony." Then you should support a stronger Europe so they have more say than the US. Instead, you are supporting a stronger Russia and China. But you failed to say how a a stronger Russia and China influence would actually improve this world. Is the world better off now that Russia invaded Ukraine? Is it better off if China invades Taiwan? For someone that pretends to care for Muslims, why are you supporting China that has conc camps of Muslims and Russia that brutally destroyed Chechnya twice in the 90's and 00's.

  8047.  @muhammadadeel8639  ​ @Muhammad Adeel The Great Famine was caused in large part because Mao shipped out food to USSR so he can have more money. He was also responsible for the Cultural Revolution which killed 1 million to up to 20 million, though most estimates have it around 3-6 million. Stalin killed millions directly. Gulags, famines that could have been prevented, famines that were in part on purpose or where help was not provided as a punishment (Ukraine Holodomor). Let's not forget the mass evictions of Jews from Russia. And for every US intervention, the USSR or Russia was on the other side. But why do you keep ignoring the question... how is the world a better place with the terrirble governments that are Russia and China? How does that improve the world? Again, that's saying that Germany & Japan in 1930's and 40's made the world a better place because UK was bad.

  8048.  @muhammadadeel8639  Saw your 2nd post. So Europe is a vassal to the American Empire, how? The US has asked them to take a bigger role in world politics. Why not support Europe becoming stronger? Literally the whole point I made before -- why aren't you supporting a stronger Europe to offset the US rather than support evil like Russia and China? "Ukraine invasion as with taiwan invasion is directly engineered by US. Russia was promised that nato would not expand let alone come to its border with nukes." And there we have it. A Russian and Chinese apologist. I now understand why you like evil. So, you're saying that Russia was right to invade? Or partially right to invade? I'll ask you a couple questions that prove that Russia didn't invade for any legit defense concerns: 1. What nuclear armed state has been invaded? 2. Did Russia sign an agreement with Ukraine that they would not invade Ukraine and will respect their sovernty if Ukraine gives up the nuclear arms? 3. Do you actually believe nuclear weaons from Finland or submarines or anywhere in NATO cannot reach Russia? 4. Why is that Putin spent the majority of his pre-invasion speech talking about how Ukraine belongs to Russia and talking about the Russian Empire as he wants to rebuild it? 5. Did Ukraine make any threats to attack Russia? 6. Do believe Russia is right to keep all the those countries around it as puppet states? A history of attempting to assassinate Ukraine leaders or bribing them to keep them as puppets. "But as a muslim, the greatest threat is the Western imposed zionist Israel that has ravaged the middle east" On China: China has 12 million people in Xinjiang living MUCH worse than Palestine that has a population of only 5 million. So Conc camps of millions of Muslims and the rest of the 12 million threatened with conc camps is somehow worse than 5 million Palestine living behind a wall? And how did US engineer China to invade Taiwan? So US is at fault for an invasion of peaceful Taiwan by China??? "Iraq, syria were were destablized as per Israel wishes" Russia literally bombed tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Muslim Syrian civilians on purpose to help Assad who dropped chemical weapons on Muslim Syrian civilians. Wow, you think Israel is the bad guy in that situation? Wow.

That’s why an increasing number of Chinese movies are just pro CCP government fluff pieces and how China is great. The masses in China love it becuse the the government controls the news and information and have shaped Chinese people so they will love those movies. Contrast that with western movies or South Korean movies and tv programs. The government is often the antagonist. Many of the programs or films are also about deep societal problems and where the government has failed. Add in India to this as they have many similar movies.

  8065.  @thisiscarl7622  - " If weak countries are not rational and full of wisdom in the face of power, they will only be hurt in the end." Sounds a lot like you are saying might make rights. So if the US & it's allies just took over the whole south china sea, you would say it's okay and the weak country (China) should be rational and accept it. - "I am not advocating war and power, in fact China also hates power" Yes, China hates power so much they are rapidly building up their military, shooting missiles over or near Taiwan while suggesting they might invade, and is currently trying to steal the South China Sea. yes, sounds like they hate power and sounds like you are not advocating war and power while you defend China's actions. In case it's not obvious due to language differences, that was all sarcasm. - "But if you introduce former colonialist and imperialist countries into this region," But China who colonized Xinjiang and Tibet and Inner Mongolia are in the region.

  8076.  @glorioustrap  AI can be copied by anyone, maybe even if a couple years later. My point is that everything is all relative and the AI will only prevent a total collapse of chinas economy. Without the AI, such a rapid decline in demographic would lead to shrinking economy.
    1
  8077.  @glorioustrap  with 70% of Chinas wealth put in real estate, if that housing market crashes then they will be in a long recession. China knows this which is why they will do so much to prevent to the collapse but all of those actions will just take away from their business. In fact, lots of the issues they are already showing is directly related to the government reforms in banking that are meant to keep the housing market stable but make it hard for businesses to access money. This video and the video he references at the start both said it’s very likely China is going to become Japan with stagnant growth but China hit that mark when it only reached 1/4 of japans gdp per capita. I follow another China economics channel and he is arguing the same. No collapse but declining growth putting it similar to japans trajectory but lower income.

  8082.  @QemeH  Two things that have changed over time are the influence of social media (as noted in the video) that leads people to want to go to the most popular or most beautiful places only and that travel is a lot cheaper. Cheaper travel means people are less likely to take the 3-5hr road trip to spend several days at a 'decent' park and would rather just travel longer distance to see the most prestigious parks.

  8096.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  "they've literally ALREADY grown at a higher rate than that,'. Beijing based? Just wondering why this comment was made, seems to not understand the argument and went straight into defending the see see pee. What they did in the past has nothing to do with what they will do moving forward. And 3 to 3.5% is what almost all the estimates put for average annual growth today through 2040, most having China under 3% a year by 2040. A big factor for China is the working age population. It has been basically flat 2012 to 2027. Then it begins it's decline from an estimated 991mil in 2027 to 866mil in 2040 and 767m in 2040. So in 2040, there will be 118million fewer potential workers or 12% decline. By 2050, 217m fewer potential workers or 22% decline. All else constant, that decline in working age population would mean 12% lower GDP in 2040 and 22% lower GDP in 2050 compared to if the population had been flat. But the impact will be more as the reduction in working age population comes with increase in elderly population which will require more of the govt resources to take care of.

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.

" I created this dichotomy because the state of california did not build "traditional passagner rail" in any meaningful way that it could" It doesn't mean those are the only two options.

Just so everyone knows, OP justified invasion of Ukraine in other comments by arguing that since there was fighting in Feb 17 2022 in donbass (that was started after Russia invaded in 2014 and sent in private army and weapons to the separatist), it was justified for Russia to invade all of Ukraine! So his logic is that an evil nation can invade a country, start a war in another part of that country, and if the war is still going on years later, a full invasion is justified

  8143. 538 and NYT polling experts have reviewed the polling and found it decently legit number. Pre invasion, it was 71% and 538 polling experts said it was a good poll. Let’s stop pretending that most Russians don’t support Putin — Putin controls the media for a reason.
    1
  8144. And how do they measure this? Easy, take one group and split them into two. Group 1 you ask “how many of the following 3 things do you support”. For other group, add one additional question yo the original 3 so ask “how many of the following 4 do you support”. That 4th question is is asking if they supper Putin. The difference between the two groups tells you how many people support Putin. So if In the control group they answers on average 2.2 out of 3 and in thr other group they averaged 3.0 out of 4.0, it means Putin has the support of 80% (.8 out 1.0 from asking if they support Putin).

  8172.  @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..

  8176.  @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.

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.

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.

Gennady Zyuganov was not going to be better than Yeltsin and Putin was certainly worse than Yeltsin. Regarding Chechnya, I see no evidence the US provided an material support for the indepdence fighters. What did happen was that Putin was responsible for the actions in the 2nd Chechen War and he used a brutal strategy he used in Syria and uses in Ukraine -- he targeted civilians. 30,000 to 80,000 civilians killed as Putin just aimed at civilian targets to force them to stop fighting.

They say I am wrong but then don't provide numbers and then they go on to try to defend China with terrible arguments suggesting that China can just continue to build unlimited infrastructure to solve the problem when the facts say that each dollar spent on infrastructure today in China are only providing a return of 25% what it use provide 20 years ago. China is basically spending on many infrastructure projects that are worse for the economy (the cost to build higher than the economic growth it is creating).

Also, this is already happening in LARGE numbers today. Its called straw purchases. Many of the guns confiscated in NYC were legally bought in Virginia (lax gun laws) then illegally sold. In Chicago, the same happens but the original gun purchase is from AL or MS. With current gun laws, it's extremely difficult to charge the person who sold it

  8218. The only threat to the USD is the EURO. So many reasons chinas RMB will never be a significant share of the money reserve in the world. China is constantly manipulating it, China will sanction others over little things (sanctions against Australia simply for saying there should be further investigation into Covid in China), Chinas economy right now is having issues, and Chinese people right now are limited in how much RMB they can take out of the country (i.e. convert to USD or other money) so if they ever loosen that restriction, the RMB will decline heavily in value..

  8231.  @dr.batman2530  If India was being pragmatic, they would cut their ties or weaken their ties with Russia and ally closer with the west. I think you are just trying to defend Russia due to historical reasons. Why is it 'selfish' pragmatic move to ally with the west more closely? India's biggest foreign policy concern is China, especially after another border clash. It needs the help of the west to counter China's influence. If that's not enough, India's biggest export market is the global west with the US by far the biggest export market with 18% of all exports going to the US. So if you think India should do what is best for India, then why not support ditching Russia and forming closer ties with the west?

  8234.  @careyfreeman5056  " They're getting discounted Russian oil and resources. " While they are loosing support in the west. Let's put it this way, If japan were attacked, the US most certainly would help and be willing to help a lot more compared to if India were attacked. If India is attacked, you can expect some help from the US but significantly less help. Actions have consequences and sticking around with Russia has consequences.
    1
  8235.  @careyfreeman5056  "They're not losing anything" So you actually think that the US would provide the same amount of help with India vs with Japan if both nations were attacked? Indian CEO's have little to do with this.

Your argument is based on some weird assumption that all support is equal so you either get no support or you get full support like everyone else that gets support.

And you refuse to believe it was intimidation even though the US didn't have a big enough fleet to actually invade? 1971 was also during the height of anti-war movement in the US as people were tired of Vietnam so if you knew anything about the US, you would know an actual attack or invasion was not likely.

  8259. 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.

  8270.  @bobwatson8754  that is the worst response ever. “Polling the POSSIBLE non viewers”? It’s arguing that if a channel has issues and some number might not stick around, their opinions don’t matter?

  8272.  @bobwatson8754  look man, he is doing a good job. But I’m just pointing out a potential major flaw with his strategy. His videos can have much more value if they were jam packed with very important information for a broader audience. A weekly video of the highlights of the week would be great — and he can do a daily one as well. Anyone that just tunes into just one episode might be that impressed because a daily episode means more watered down content. But a weekly summary episode might be the type of video that would draw in a larger audience. Maybe he can call the series something like “China Recap” or something. That’s all I’m getting at.
    1
  8273.  @bobwatson8754  BTW, I was arguing for two options. 1. Twice a week episodes (he wouldn’t need to grind himself as much and his videos wouldn’t repeat themselves as much — for example the daily ups and downs of the housing crisis) 2. Keep doing the same daily video but add a weekly or even monthly recap

You probably don’t even look into why they drop or reduce charges so often on straw purchases/ buyers, right? It’s because the gun laws are so weak it’s hard to convict. The original buyer who sold it as a straw purchase just claims it was stolen. They weren’t required to report it stolen or lost so it makes it an easy defense. And most crime guns come from 1-2% of gun stores but lots of limitations on holding gun stores responsible.

    1
  8285.  @aum1040  “they often lose money” excerpt they make money. That’s why risks management works. They lose some and win some but they need to win more than they lose and that how they calculate risks. “All they have to do to make money is charge more than they expect to pay out”. Except, the competition exists so you simply cannot just charge more. You need to understand risks well enough to compete. It was also discussed in the video.
    1
  8286.  @aum1040  so you’re saying is they lose consistently but win more consistently to make a profit? Therefore, they are calculating the risk well enough? I’ll give you an example even a 5 yr old can understand. Imagine playing a game where you have 52% chance of winning. You play 100 games and you lose a lot over that stretch — 48 times. But you win 52 times which means I’ve The long run, you win more than you lose. Same with the insurance. They have calculated the risks with enough precision to make a profit over the large number of games they are play…in this analogy, the games are customers. So they are going to lose with some and win with others but over their whole customer base, they are going to win more than they lose.

Of course if Ukraine is plowing through Russia's army over the next year, they won't stop until they get it all back.

If Ukraine at some point has trouble with reclaiming more of it's land back, it will have to negotiate. I think they can live with giving up Crimea if they get all other territory back...Of course if Ukraine is plowing through Russia's army over the next year, they won't stop until they get it all back.

My point is Ukraine does want crimea and will try it's hardest to get it but there MIGHT be a point where they can't make much more progress and therefore they have no choice but to give up Crimea. Donbas and Crimea are both going to be difficult to get. Donbass is right next to Russia so supplying it is the easiest. Crimea will be hard to invade as it acts like an island. > On top of that, Crimea has always gotten the majority of it's water from the Dniper river via an aqueduct. It's agricultural water, sure. But Russia will let the fields wither away to keep it. They only need to hold out for a few years before Ukraine is forced negotiate. I'm not saying Ukraine won't or can't take Crimea, just that the water is not a problem for Russia.

And what does "not the spokespersons of workers." mean? People who worked for trade unions have often become politician. "India is Democratic socialism, which is still different from capitalism." And that's why their economy struggled for a long time until they started making more 'capitalist' reforms.

  8306.  @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??

Wumao, give me your sources.

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?

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

  8313.  @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?

I'm not following how you are defending not using a taser (assuming they have tasers).

  8322.  @J_X999  demographics is the leading cause of their stagnation. Productivity can improve but it’s still a small effect compared to demographic. Productivity is also hard to truly measure — certain industries will of course have higher productivity than others so many of the top are involved heavily in banking, financial or tech. According to Brookings research, Japans productivity per hour work has been about constant when measured against Germany and the US. That’s to say it’s alway been about the same percentage behind Germany and US thus it’s a constant over time. This suggest two things — the stagnation came from demographic collapses and one way to get out of stagnation is to improve productivity since Japan won’t be able to reverse the demographic crisis.
    1
  8323.  @J_X999  Japan's slowdown started in 90 or 91 but yes the housing bubble crash was a big part. Demographics have a huge part to play just like they do in China's housing crisis today. When population beings to decline or stagnate and housing prices had been increasing, you are going to see the bubble burst. But Japan's economic growth had been slowing down in the 70's and 80's. The population growth had already been shrinking. It was around 1.3% population growth in early 70's and slowly declined to around 0.3% in 1990. It continued to decline since then and is now 0.5%. So when they 'recovered' from the housing bubble crash, it didn't truly show in the economic indicators because their population growth continued to shrink. They hit their peak working age population in the 90's, just been on decline since then.

China is already hitting the early parts of demographic crisis. Housing crisis and Banking crisis — fewer workers means a slowing economy and fewer people with all that housing bubble means housing prices are starting to drop. People are protesting, not paying loans, etc. The next few years will be tough on China especially if the housing market actually crashes.

  8339. @discord stuff Biden isn’t bad. He’s old though but he’s basically Obama on policies so that’s why he won. The alternative was Bernie Sanders who was very anti capitalist and turned off a lot of people left of center who ended up with Biden. But the whole problem is the US is a two party system. The right wing party has been taken over by Trump and his support is based on attacks in facts and democracy. The left is also polarized which is why it went with the “safe” bet. There was a candidate nearly as left Bernie Sanders but she failed because she didn’t speak as ideological and polarizing as Bernie Sanders so the further left voters of the democrat party dropped Elizabeth Warren and went for Bernie early in the primary campaign process. She was 10 years younger than Bernie and biden (still old but reasonable old at 70) but left of the party want pure anti capitalist, pure ideology, etc. She’s the second smartest of those who ran — the smartest was Pete Buttigieg. His problem is he was only 38, was unknown and he’s gay which scared some voters. He’s like Biden on policy but is Oxford and Harvard educated, brilliant, great debater, and young. He’s a very nice guy and no scandals. He probably has a chance in 6-10 year if being gay isn’t an issue at that point.
    1
  8340. @discord stuff in summary, two party system leads to polarization. The right wing party was taken over by the Trump types (ideological, mean, facts don’t matter, conspiracy theory types) and the left has an issue of a split between the ideological strong left that is anti capitalist (Bernie Sanders) vs moderate who are mostly very old (Biden) or too young (Buttigieg) or too controversial (former nyc mayor Bloomberg).
    1
  8341. @discord stuff just wanted to add one more thing that was implied. The right wing party, the Republican Party, is mostly inline with Trump or his type. The old previous generation republicans are disappearing like John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Bush jr and Bush Sr. Those are right wing economics, moderate social and behave like what you expect of politicians— well mannered, keep false information claims within reason, etc. Replaced by cultural conservative, nationalist, brash / mean behavior types that don’t necessarily have traditional right wing economic views (I guess they are right wing nationalist economics?). The left wing party Democrats are what’s called a big tent party. It’s basically anyone that doesn’t fall under Republican Party. It includes some of moderate former Republican Party voters (right of center economic but moderate on everything else), it includes Biden moderates (moderate economics and left social), Bernie types (strong left on everything) but also includes cultural progressives of all back grounds. It also includes immigrants who would generally be republicans with their more conservative social beliefs and right of center economic views but despise the republicans for being anti immigrant. Big tent parties are going to have a problem deciding on a leader and Biden was the compromise.

But europe has filled up their gas reserves for the winter and will survive. What that means to Russia is that Russia will continue to lose on gas and oil sales to europe and a global recession is happening so gas and oil prices will drop leaving Putin in 2023 with fewer options to sell the energy and at lower prices. In addition he forever lost europe as a customer so it will set russia back decades. Even if say Putin is removed next year or in 2024, europe will have to penalize Russia and that might be never buying russsian energy or forcing Russia to build back Ukraine in return for europe buying Russian energy again.

US is what’s stopped China so far from invading Taiwan, actually taking control of the south sea, and who knows what else China would do — economically bully all democracies?

  8351.  @superstormthunder3  and my main point was that the issues between China - US is because China intends to do a lot bad things. So even if the US had nuked Guatemala last year, the issues US v China is about what China is doing and wants to do. I’m assuming you don’t support an invasion of Taiwan? Nor support Chinas attempt to steal most of the South China Sea? Nor do you support Chinas backing and support of Russia? You don’t see the same problems with US vs Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc. only China and North Korea in that region. And surely you understand both China and North Korea are a threat to the region and even beyond?

But that military industrial complex isn’t going to lead to the US invading Russia or China, two nuclear nations with large militaries. But we can’t let china just invade Taiwan and steal the South China Sea and steal parts of Japan, etc. that’s why the US has to be tough on China and Russia as well. But I also don’t want it to be dominated by the US so I support a stronger Europe in NATO and even out of NATO and I support a stronger Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, etc. the more those countries grow in strength, the less influence the US has which means more countries are weighing on each matter / conflict.

  8353.  @superstormthunder3  diplomacy works if the other side has reasonable goals. Russia and China don’t. That’s doesn’t mean give up on diplomacy because it’s still an important part of the process but it means that you can’t just use diplomacy with Russia and China. That’s why there is need to get more countries allied with each other and present a “block” that Russia and China have to get passed when diplomacy doesn’t work. For China and / North Korea, the US has partnered up with South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and india along with smaller partnerships with Philippines and Vietnam. Plus the UK and a few other Europeans are also helping out in the east. And with Russia, it’s most of Europe and most of those I already mentioned allied against China (not including India, Philippines and Vietnam or course).

  8354.  @superstormthunder3  sure it will be better if that’s how it was — but that won’t happen unless China first says it won’t invade Taiwan and says it won’t try to take most of the South China Sea (and has to remove its bases from the artificial islands they built). But that won’t happen anytime soon so the US and others have to be prepared.

  8355.  @superstormthunder3  I’m not that nervous about direct war with China and Russia. I’m more worried about proxy wars and economic wars that will result of this new Cold War. But here a positive sign — in the past month (well, before the whole spy ballon), China has been cooling off and softening a bit trying to possibly restart diplomacy. They replaced the individual in charge of wolf warrior diplomacy (that’s where Chinas diplomats are aggressive and at nasty things about others and when other leaders and diplomats respond back with N attack, China uses that for domestic audiences) and Xi calmed his rhetoric. Probably because Xi’s in a tough spot with relatively weak economy with major potential crisis and he sees most of the worlds economy teaming up against China which makes it harder on his economy. But I think it’s just temporary— once his economy is doing at least “okay” he will resort back regular.

  8356.  @superstormthunder3  it’s hard to really know how hard to be against Russia and China. Too soft and russia and china will be aggressive and do what they want.

The export tariffs are 100% a bad idea as they kill exports, which means local industries will not be able to grow. Import tariffs are mostly a bad idea, because industry requires the import of many goods To produce something. Import terriffs are also responded to in other countries by tariffs from on that country. I just don’t understand why people stick to failing policies when they can just look at what many countries in Asia have done over the last 50 years to have much better success. one can also just look at Chile in the past 30 to 40 years or Panama and the Dominican republic in the past 30 years..

  8396.  @commie5211  And yet China produces only a small fraction of the total world output and US Dollar is accepted everywhere. And those deals are only for oil trade, nothing else. So in the whole world economy, only China's purchase of oil with #2, #3, 9 and #25 are done in Yuan. And all all those countries are selling in US dollar to everyone else.
    1
  8397.  @commie5211  There's a reason even those countries you mentioned only made the deal for oil. Most countries buy more from China than they sell to China. If they are going to use the Yuan, they need to hold reserves in Yuan. The SeeSeePee has zero transparency in their currency and make it hard to buy and sell. This is why Yuan is only 5th in currency reserve in the world with only 2.7% with almost all that happening in Hong Kong. Not difficult to comprehend but I guess relevant username explains it all

  8398.  @kurosai006ichigo3  "our saying china debt traps by offering bad loans... China did not force any nation to accept their loans" They paid the leaders off. Why do you think the loans from SeeSeePee have no transparency? Nobody knows the details except the authoritarian leader they traded with.

    1
  8415.  @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.

  8416.  @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

  8421.  @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!

  8422.  @CLS1507  “what’s the point of having the ability to criticize your leader”. Well trump wasn’t re elected exactly for that.

  8423.  @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
  8424.  @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.

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
  8427.  @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
  8428.  @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.

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!

  8430.  @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?

  8432.  @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!

  8441.  @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
  8442.  @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
  8443.  @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
  8444.  @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.

  8447.  @gabrielgarcia7554  yes, they could make lots of money but it’s EXTREMELY risky given they are investing well before they even know if this will be able to go forward. And they had to do that because if the plans were were public from the start, they could not buy the land at prices that would make sense for this project. Hoping this succeeds because we will need more of this in order to grow the housing market to match needs and do so with more environmentally sound housing

  8449.  @chrisl893  as for addressing your Concerns, I listened to a podcast from NYT with that same individual from the NYT in this video. Can’t recall all the details but the IIRC the plan would include enticing some companies to move to the new town but also connecting the town to some areas where the jobs are at with improved public infrastructure/ transportation. Lots of silicon valley companies offer free shuttles to work so maybe that is the backup plan if public transportation doesn’t work out

  8450.  @Rainy_Day12234  I agree it needs to be financially sustainable and that’s why it’s very risky. The investors know this is a bad gamble financially speaking IF they had no other stakes than just money. But something I didn’t mention but was mentioned in a NYT podcast is that many of these investors also are doing this in hopes to alleviate the housing crisis in the Bay Area to hopefully be able to attract more talent for their corporations. This is in addition to them doing this for wanting to be part of something transformative and or because they really care about making the future more green

  8476.  @msbull100  so all actual news agencies inside of Russia have to fall in line with Putin. YouTube isn’t banned but most Russian news in Russian is also from within Russia and often part of the state media or other media that has aligned with Putin. There are independent Russian channels on YouTube but considering 3/4 of Russians support Putin, the majority of content in Russian will be pro Putin. And when people are surrounded by state media propaganda, they often use that as their base belief unless they make an active effort to find sources that aren’t pro Putin. State propaganda just finds it way in so many outlets when the government shuts down major opposition voices.

They concluded Evidence of such a surge (pro war) also showed up in a survey by one of Russia’s most reputable independent pollsters, the Levada Center. The strong majority of Russians support the war. Levada also tested the polling by separating the group into 2 —- one gets asked how many of the 3 times do they support (gay marriage, monthly allowance for the poor, abortion) and another gets those same 3 plus one extra question — support for the actions of Russia in Ukraine. The difference in both groups will give you the % who support the war.

  8508.  @spare97  China is playing tbt long game? Is that why the one child policy is hurting them?

What does hiring Beijing book say on how to respond to that?

  8509. @ $93B for a town in a country with already too many homes and the government spending hundreds of billions to prevent a real estate collapse. When will China stop building homes? I guess now since the building of new home construction is dropping fast as are sales of new homes

  8510. @ such high homeownership rate with declining population and so many extra homes? That’s a recipe for a big real estate crash. No wonder their government is spending hundreds of billions to keep the real estate market from crashing…if they didn’t, they would be dealing with something much worse than 2008/09 housing crash in the US and parts of Europe

Then what's your source about the US blockade on China? Are you also saying that China isn't threatening to attack the peaceful country of Taiwan even when they say force is on the table and even after they shot missiles over and around the island?

  8522.  @thewolfofswingthat2035  if there is a misunderstanding, you can clear this up by saying "Yes, China is theatening force on Taiwan and yes, I support the US helping Taiwan" and you can say "Yes, China is currently attempting to illegal take the South China sea by claiming parts of the sea that don't belong to it and creating artificial islands in the sea with military bases on it and Yes, I support the US enforcing the freedom of navigation by sending ships through that region". It's that simple. You can clear this up if you think I misunderstood you.

  8552.  @basiltozer9078  fighting o the cheap? Well, sort of — they know the sanctions will make it hard to obtain main components. $1 billion a day for Russia or over $350b a year is a tremendous amount. That’s roughly how much the government spending was in total before the invasion. So they have doubled their spending cost. That would similar to US spending $4 trillion a year if you look at US government spending or also $4 trillion if you just took the war spending as % of total gdp. $4 trillion for the US would be extremely difficult long term, maybe one or two years would be okay.

It has a clear wrong side and good side that we haven’t seen in a long time. And you chose the evil side. But considering you appear to support the terrorist Houthis in Yemen and support Argentina stealing the Falkland Islands that have been British territory for 200 years, I suspect you just anything that is anti west. And why do you support anything that is anti west? Because you likely are an authoritarian leftist.

  8584.  @merocaine  "About the Russian death toll, the most recent BBC study in conjunction with independent Russian media found a death toll of 10000" That report was released almost 2 months ago. There have been large number of Russian deaths since then as Russia has thrown many to the meat grinder in the east to try to win a small town or two. In addition, hundreds died in that building that Ukraine destroyed. Deaths usually represent 15-20% of all Casualties. From the BBC: "The Russian military has sustained over 10,000 verifiable deaths in the course of its nine-month invasion of Ukraine..The true death toll in the conflict is expected to be far greater than that established in the research, the BBC said" You're 21k dead is a low figure for Dec 1. But based on that and with deaths being 15-20% of casualties, you're looking at 105k casualties on Dec 1 at the low end. That's the low end. In Jan 27 2023, given all the major fighting in the east and a few hundred killed in one building, something near 30k deaths is very possible. That would be 150k-200k casulties, about the same as the article mentioned in the video with 180,000 casualties cited.

Then there are the land grab invasions of Ukraine 2014 and 2022 along with 2008 Georgia.

  8588.  @RangerB66  Yes, there were discussions in the 90's about a closer relationship with Russia but after Chechnya, I think the west realized Russia probably hasn't changed much.

Perhaps pro Russian fighters weee just fighting defensive — trench fighting and didn’t learn Anything else? I don’t know, this whole argument never made sense. For sure urkriane learned but I don’t know how Russia and separatist didn’t also learn.
    1
  8598.  @tavdy79  so where are those separatist now? I’m having trouble understanding how Ukrainians learned a lot from it but the people they fought learned very little. And that war since 2014 was mostly just trench warfare with relatively limited weapons compared to what Ukraine has now. My only guess is that Ukraine didn’t learn enough to Surpass Russia in knowledge but they just learned the basics — they started with essentially zero military in 2014. So let’s russia was a 70/100 in fighting knowledge and Ukraine was 0/100 in 2014. But are start of war of Feb 2022, Russia was still at 70 but Ukraine was 50/100. Then US intel and western weapons pushed Ukraine to a 75/100 today.

  8628. Nice video but you missed a major problem India is going to face. Their birth rates are dropping fast. Won’t have an affect much in the immediate future but I’m 20 years or so, their population will peak and will begin falling. So they will hit Chinas current demographic crisis in about 20 years but India in 20 years at best will be where China is now. It won’t surpass China anytime soon as a result. But if India becomes an immigrant hot spot, that might be the difference.

  8629.  @123joesmoke  First of all, there doesn't NEED to be intent. Second of all, y r many of u ly-ing that 'chon' and 'john' don't sound similar when at 1:19 the owner pronounces both and it's similar. Third, the names don't have to sound 100% the same but just similar enough. Fourth of all, it does NOT matter if Taco Chon has a drive through or not. That's silly and it just proves u don't care about the facts.
    1
  8630.  @123joesmoke  " while it may sound very similar to you it might not be to someone else" literally at 1:19 the owner pronounces them very similar. Are u deaf or just a li-ar? It doesn't matter if they aren't exactly identical so stop setting the bar at "I can hear a difference" - they still sound very similar.
    1
  8631.  @123joesmoke  I know how ur argument fallacy works. You are trying to suggest that it MUST be 100% identical to be an infringement and that's a false argument. But so long as u li-e about that, you keep repeating the same argument rather than admit that at 1:19 the owner says 'Chon' and 'John' similar even though not identical. Just like Pittsburg sounds similar but not identical to Pattsburg.

  8638. @Justas, BBC is working with Mediazona (Russian group) to verify deaths. They have verified over 12k Russian soldier deaths and believe that may be as little only 40-60% of the actual deaths. They estimate a min of 5x more total casualties than deaths. So based on that, 12k verified deaths is up to 30k actual deaths with at least 150k casualties in that case.
    1
  8639.  @Disanthrophobia  KIA is not the same as casualties. Ukraine said 105k or so casualties, not KIA. Casualties include death, injuries, missing, and prisoner of wars.
    1
  8640.  @Disanthrophobia  I'm sorry, do you mean Ukraine's estimate of Russian losses or Ukrainian loses? I though you meant Ukrainian losses but you are referring to Russian losses, right?
    1
  8641.  @Disanthrophobia  Got it. Yeah, I looked it up. Seems Ukraine is all over the place sometimes saying over 100k Russians dead and sometimes using casualties. I'm certainly not going to believe any estimate from Ukraine or Russia. BBC verified many deaths from Russia and found over 12k deaths verified. They believe the 12k deaths are just 40-60% of the actual deaths so estimated 25k deaths min (30k if you use 40%) and estimate a min of 110k casualties (150k if they use 30k deaths). That's in line with Norway's defense saying they estimated 180k casualties (what was mentioned in the video). So I believe 25k-30k dead and around 150k casualties is what Russia has had so far. The last US update I saw in early Dec had Russia "significantly over 100k casualties" so I would expect 1.5 months later that they probably have Russia around or over 150k casualties.

  8642.  @Disanthrophobia  Regarding your username, that's a cool explanation. Are you some teacher of English or are you German? I bring up German because don't they create a lot of words to describe things?
    1
  8643.  @nemanja162  BBC with mediazona has verified nearly 13k dead Russian solider and they estimate that's only 40-60% of the total number dead. 13k with that only representing 40% means up to 32k dead Russians. The number used to estimate casualties is at a min 3.5x non killed casualties to each killed so 32k dead means about 145k casualties. Keep in mind that doesn't count foreign fighters that can be from the thousands of Syrians that fought for Russia or those that joined Wagner from other countries nor does it count the Russian-Ukrainian militia so I suspect the 145k is the very low end. There is nothing remotely to suggest that 100k dead for Ukraine. Ukraine needs far more troops to be spread around the country to defend every part of Ukraine. We do know that Russia started with 200k and mobilized at least 300k but estimated 450k more. So that's 650k likely sent to Ukraine and there are discussions of another mobilization. That means the 150k+ casualties is accurate.

  8681. In the west, there has always been two popular types of “masculinity”. The more popular is the macho type but there has always been a more feminine masculinity which was and is still very common among artists that target teens such as boy bands (back street boys, *NSYNC,New Kids on the Block) but also artist like Johnny Depp in his youth is nearly Identical to Timothy Chamalet. harry Styles? There was David Bowie! There has been an active effort among the liberal west to reduce the macho masculinity culture by promoting all other types of masculinity. But certainly the effeminate masculinity is much more important to east Asia than it is in the west.

  8732.  @brianlong2334  I gave you world bank data and for the last several years, US has been well ahead. Australia fluctuates a lot due to heavy reliance on natural resources. The only time Australia was ahead in all of history was 2008 and 2010-2014. The US has averaged over 10% higher gdp per capita than Australia since 2016.
    1
  8733.  @brianlong2334  you cut off at 2008 making it look like before 2016 it was basically tied or Australia ahead. In the 200 years of Australia history, they only passed US 2008 and 2010-2014. Since 2016 and before 2008, the US has always been at least 10% above. 2008-2014 was also when china was building the most and relied heavily on Australia for many natural resources. After 2014 China slowed construction which is why Australia has fallen.
    1
  8734.  @brianlong2334  intellectual dishonest is cutting off at 2008 when in all of history the US was at least 10% above Australia other than 2008-2015. And given Chinas slowing economy and construction halt, why do you argue as if Australia will get back to 2008-2014?
    1
  8735.  @brianlong2334  and if you have to go back to 1880s before the idea of gdp even existed to point out the last time Australia was ahead of the US, then maybe you lost this argument?
    1
  8736.  @brianlong2334  1960’s? Worldbank website literally shows US at $3k and Australia at $1.8k in 1960 and $5.0k US and Australia $3.0k in 1969. US was about 40% higher throughout 1960’s so what are you looking at? I’m loooking at gdp per capita current USD.
    1
  8737.  @brianlong2334  how do you see before 1960 when world bank data only goes to 1960? It wasn’t until 1944 that organizations began to actively measure gdp with the first GDP developed in 1934, so what data are you looking at for 1800’s?

  8747.  @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
  8748.  @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.

  8749.  @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.

  8751.  @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
  8752.  @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
  8753.  @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.

No single family homes -- on google maps you can see 2-3 story apartments and rowhomes as the first buildings after leaving the farmlands. Downtown Seville is just 1 to 1.5km from farmlands! Depend on what you call downtown but Granada central area I could see the farmlands a few blocks away!

  8810.  @bobdobsin6216  ok, so clear you an extreme pro gun person like OP. Your original comment suggested you are likely actually MORE bias than even OP. What both of you are suggesting is that researchers on Australia gun issue did terrible work — and so did the experts that were part of the peer review. In addition, you are suggesting it’s completely a coincidence that all other gun research has reached similar findings that stronger gun laws and lower gun ownership rates lead to reduced murders. You are also saying that if there is an occurrence of some incident 12 times in 10 years, major reform, than no such incident in nearly 20 years that it’s a pure coincidence despite everything else also supporting it. But hey, talk about bias — you spend a considerably time in post arguing about how guns are needed then used used misleading data to try a prove a point. For example, the defensive gun usage was a poll in the 90’s were gun owning people were simply asked if they had used their gun in defensive situation which can include going to check out a noise outside or in the barn. They don’t have to pull the gun out, or use it, nor stop a crime, nor even have it confirmed. And then you compare it to what? Imagine how many offensive gun usages there — which includes all crimes committed with a gun on the person, a threat to use a gun, or just having a gun when they went to do something.
    1
  8811.  @bobdobsin6216  - “Using the data compiled by the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) of 56,000 families, scholars have estimated that there are, at a minimum, between 65,000 and 80,000 defensive gun uses per year.
    1
  8812.  @bobdobsin6216  - So consider instead the much larger and more reliable NCVS, conducted by the Census Bureau, according to which defensive gun uses in America are not trivial: 65,000 to 80,000 uses each year.” Despite NCVS estimates suffering from false positives and are likely to overestimate the number of DGUs, it is still much closer to the true number of DGUs compared to Lott’s surveys.
    1
  8813.  @bobdobsin6216  OP is clearly bias but you are beyond bias. Regarding the DGU. vs OGU, it’s trying to keep apples to apples comparison. I’m arguing if you use DGU stat to includes people reporting having a gun on or near them to check out a noise, for OGU you would need something like that. DGU stats are of often a joke — does having a gun on you when checking out a noise that turned out to be a raccoon saved one crime from happening? What we do know is that offensive gun use include some 15k murders by gun, nearly 100k shot by a gun, like several hundred thousand people in total shot at (100k who where hit plus thus that weren’t), hundreds of thousands of crimes committed with gun, and an even larger number of total crimes committed while the criminal had a gun on or near them (this would include the several hundred thousand crimes where it’s know they criminal had or used a gun plus many crimes where the criminal had guns but the police don’t know).
    1
  8814.  @bobdobsin6216  and while I don’t have a major on statistics, I’ve read plenty of studies on guns. That’s why I knew about your weak DGU argument. Research after after research has shown the following: 1. Weaker gun laws are associated with increase risks of murders 2. Higher gun ownership rates are associated with increase risk of murders 3. Higher gun ownership rates are associated with increase risk of suicide deaths 4. Higher gun ownership rates are associated with increase risk of mass shootings So, OP might be a statistical major but he can also be heavily biased and might twist this research to favor his narrative. But the fact is that there have been at least two major studies in Australia guns that found the same results and it’s backed up by Similar findings in numerous other research studies on guns that aren’t directly related to Australia — either US research or global research.
    1
  8815.  @DSlyde  ok, so now your argument is that ONE study isn’t enough. That I agree with you. That is one reason I brought up the numerous other studies on the this topic that mostly reach the same conclusions: 1. Weaker gun laws are associated with increase risk of murders 2. Higher gun ownership rates are associated with increase risk murders 3. Higher gun ownership rates are associated with increase risk of mass shootings 4. Higher gun ownership rates are associated with increase risk of suicide deaths In addition, there is at least one other study on Australia which also support the findings in this video. As someone who has spent a large number of time reading gun research Over the past decade or so, I can tell you that whatever problems you with the study, numerous other studies have supported the same findings — a reduction in gun ownership rates and stronger gun laws each are associated with reduction in murder rates and mass shootings.
    1
  8816.  @DSlyde  “peer review is also not the panacea either”. I hope you can also recognized that you as individual who claims to work statices is also not the panacea either. There are also numerous “experts” With such huge bias they are dishonest in their work. All of this is why I brought up the fact that numerous other studies found the same conclusion.

  8818.  @bobdobsin6216  I’m saying that the DGU asked a very vague question and for some, they are answering honestly but it doesn’t mean much (does checking out a noise that turns out to be a raccoon actually save a crime?) and for others, they are lying or exaggerating. That’s why when men are asked how big their Willy is, it’s often 1 inch biggest in their answer than in reality. As for the “if we are going to count incident where a criminal felt empowered to act because he has a gun (but never used in the commission of a crime)”…I’m starting to think you don’t have the intelligence to understand the argument here. This will be the 3rd time I’ve had to say this — I’m ONLY counting such an example if you are going to use DGU stats that include similar situations but for DGU, such as the raccoon example. I’n fact, it would be like having a gun on you in a fight that breaks out but you never pull the gun out. And to emphasize my point about how these surveys are heavily flawed, if there is a group of 4 people that get into a confrontation and all 4 are carrying a gun, all 4 are likely to answer they had a DGU in that situation and not one will say they were guilty of offensive gun use. People saying they used a gun IN DGU May have actually been the offensive gun use.

  8819.  @bobdobsin6216  “The US is pretty much the only country with high rates of gun ownership and anything like the 2nd Amendment. “ 100% of Crime guns in the US came from the US and were not smuggled in. That’s why the studies show more guns a an weaker gun laws increase murders “If you subtract the crime from gang violence, US crime rates drop down to European levels.” No, per the FBI, 13% of murders are gang related. Another false piece of information from you. As you can tell, I’ve heard all your fake talking points before. You gun 🥜 always use the same falsee arguments

  8820.  @bobdobsin6216  murder is not gun crimes but 70% of murders are by guns. And guns are the most effective way of killing so why did you bring it up? What is the relevance? I seriously think you don’t have the mental ability to have this discussion/debate.

  8821.  @bobdobsin6216  you bring up pools and talked about banning pools as a comparison? You are literally repeating the same gun nut arguments I’ve seen a thousand times. First, no one mentioned a ban on all guns so why not say honest here? Second, when did someone take a pool and commit a crime with it or use it kill people who didn’t want to enter the pool? Regarding cars, I love you brought in up. So you agree it should be treated like a car? Everyone has a license and REGISTERED car? And we constantly added new regulations since about 1970 that made automobile related fatalities drop to about 1/6 what they were at their peak? I’m glad you agree we should treat guns like cars and driving!

In one location there were maybe 30 nearly identical buildings all around 25-35 floors high. In the evening I noticed only about 20% of the units had light. Heck, I’d say 1/3 of the holdings looked completely empty or nearly empty. I was told those building had been completed about 7 years earlier.

  8831.  @jayl878  construction from after about 2010 appear to be better quality but the homes built before seem to be in need of major repair after 10-20 years.

  8832.  @jayl878  the older ones are most certainly worse. They were building like crazy through 2014ish so since then it’s slowed down and I think there have been more regulations on housing construction. My ex s/o is from there but it’s been a year since we broke up. I don’t know what they think of the situation in 2022. I was last there early 2020 and had been there around 2017. The numerous empty buildings shocked me. Kumming had what appeared to be several dozen high rises on the outer edge of the city. Who’s going to want to move there? The Chinese love the dense urban cores of city. These 30+ buildings all looked completed yet empty but I only saw it from the major highway a km away.

  8833.  @ShomoGoldburgler  trump was bad but these communist want to try to equate it to Trump. Trump didn’t try to get rid of congress himself. It was his supporters in an attempt that clearly had no power to it unlike Castillo who has so much power in his actions as he literally tried to remove congress with his presidential powers.

  8834.  @tnickknight  he pushed them in to the capitol. Castillo cut out all the worthless attempt of having a thousand people attempt the coup and tried to actually do a coup with his powers. Are you seriously arguing that it would have been less Evil if trump decided to remove all of congress and have unlimited power than to do what he did - anger a crowd and send them to the capitol?

  8835.  @AA-ju6mk  for sure. Russia invading annexing parts of Ukraine somehow has to be the US fault. Russia doing the same in Georgia somehow have to be the US fault. Russia effectively getting rid of democracy and making Putin a dictator Hass to be the US fault. Putin, making nuclear arm threats has to be the US fault. Russia, helping the Syrian government that was using chemical weapons on it civilians has to be the U.S. fault. It is never Russia’s fault.

  8836.  @andrasbiro3007 spot on. Now is that hard to get? Consumerism and increasingly higher standards for parenting are the biggest drivers of increasing cost and increasing time of children. Just look at pre 1980’s life…parenting life was simple at least in the US. Since then parents feel pressure to sign their kids up to all the activities, go to private schools, pay for tutoring, and parents are far more involved in their kids…hence the birth of the soccer mom of the 80’s and 90’s.

  8837.  @solveigvan808  it would be more like comparing chipotle and McDonald’s, both are fast food but different foods. They do compete and people make a decision “should I do lunch at McDonald’s or Chipotle” just like they do “should I watch a Netflix movies/series or watch YouTube”. Of course there are even closer competitors like McDonald’s vs Burger King or Netflix vs HBO but watching more YouTube does lead to watching less Netflix and vice versa.

  8845.  @thomasherrin6798  That sounds like the perfect response that captures the problems and the changes. Yes, EU was very dominated by Germany & France before 2022. But they have been basically on the otherside of most of the rest of the EU. If just simplification sake, Germany and France each have 15% of the power of the EU for a total of 30%. They will need over 20% to get majority of the total EU power in their direction (20%pts out of 70%pts thus 29% of remaining power). Usually that 30% is enough to get a few others on their side to get the EU to do what they want. But almost everyone else is in disagreement with Germany and France and I think that's causing both to lose power within the EU where it once was 15%, it's now 10% each. And it's not just on Russia, much of the rest is also worried about China. >, it is with little suprise that France cannot see the danger in a petulant and hostile China towards Tawain and how that might be disastrous for Europe at present because as with its dependency on Russian Energy and it's subsequent scramble to an alternative, Europe is also heavily reliant on Chinese and Taiwanese exports Yes, even if they wanted to be neutral, a military conflict there would disrupt not just supply chains from these countries but critical components. And the issue goes well beyond just exports reliance on China and Taiwan. It would also disrupt supply chains from other countries. And that's not the whole of it --- if China gets or attempts to get Taiwan, that means they are danger for far more especially when you consider they are allied with Europe's biggest near concern, Russia. The US leaks showed there was communication between China and Russia planning possible sending of árms. They are just trying to figure out how to do so without China getting caught which would lead to sanctions on them. Does France and Germany think that China will just stop after it gets Taiwan? Even if France and Germany don't support sending troops to defend Taiwan, you don't publicly say it (want to keep China guessing) and you most certainly don't say you won't be involved in anyway becuase it's none of the EU's business. All why they want others to help join at least economically against Russia.

  8846.  @fidelramen5202  just because traditional rail exist doesn’t mean they can’t use more. Why go a $1 trillion in debt and rapidly rising to build HSR in routes with little demand? Just to show off to the world? You think china can’t do anything bad? Are you the type that defends China over its concentration camps and genocide because China can do no wrong?
    1
  8847.  @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?

  8848. So what you’re saying is thousands of years of China bullying all its neighbors is okay but 100 years of China being Bullied by others is wrong and then Mao treating his people badly is the fault of others? And with all that, it excuses China being a bully today?

  8853.  @MilenioAgosto  "Destroyedtl the World?!?! LOL... " But you said " lol this country has only destroyed the world". So you already admitted Russia is the one destroying the world. - " I'm not a Communist but that Man has more Pride for his people than our Whole "Democracy" " That's an interesting way to describe a man who assassinates political opponents, arrests tens of thousands of protestors, bans media that doesn't support him, controls the state media, and has caused the death or injury to 200k Russians by sending them to an illegal war for a land grab so he can be remembered like Peter the Great. So you believe he's destroying the world but also you believe he loves his people and shows it by arresting or killing people who speak out against him and sent 200k to get killed or injured for an illegal war?

He is wrong that only 16% comes from China. according to “The Hydrology of the Mekong River” study, more than 40% of the Mekong River water comes from China. Furthermore, from the study “In the upper part of the Lower Mekong system, at Vientiane, the flow originating from China and Burma, the so-called Yunnan Component, not only provides most of the dry-season flows, but in addition, most of the floodwater during the majority of years. “

  8859.  @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.

  8869. Expensive fruit even for the cheap option. For comparison on prices, here is what I typically see for pricing on the standard/regular when in season of each fruit in the video: cherries: $2-$3.50 per pound or $4-$7 per kg (in the video, $5 for what looks like less than 1lb or 0.5kg) cantaloupe melon: $2-$3 each ($7 in the video) mandarin oranges: $1-$1.50 oer pound or $2.50-$3.50 per kg ($1.20 for what looks to be close to one pound or half kg) Peaches: $3 per pound or $6-$7 per kg ($2.80 for 1 piece which probably 2 to 2.5 pieces per lb for $6-$8 per pound price) Watermelon: $3-$5 for one piece similar in size to the cheaper option ($4 in the video) Apples: $1-$1.75 per pound depending on variety or $2-$4 per kg ($1.20 for 1 apple which would be about $2.40-$3.00 per pound)

  8878.  @debalik8806  " I can tell you professor that most Indians are concerned with having a higher standard of living. " And it will better achieve that by forming closer relations with the west to counter China's influence that will effect India. By NOT siding more with Russia and alienating half the world's GDP in the 'the west'. As you mentioned, "We (India) know very well that Our future is in the Global Nato" but when will that happen? India is still maintaining their close relationship with Russia, even if slowly eroding.

  8879.  @akashpatel8410  " first of all we don't side with anyone". Standing neutral when a fire is raging is standing with the ones who lit the fire. "NATO made all these contrys to much dependent on US" Why repeat Russian talking points? Sounds a lot like Indians consumer Putin media. The US has been asking the other countries to be FAR more involved in NATO -- so much so that Trump got tired of it and made threats to break up NATO if other countries don't raise their spending and contribution to NATO.

  8880.  @akashpatel8410  " yes it was in Indias intrested to buy cheap Russia oil" It's in India's best interest to ally with the west. You do realize that the US is 35% of India's exports? That the 'west' is over 50% of India's exports? You do realize that China is the biggest geopolitical foe of India and it's the west that are trying to curb China's aggression? There is no long term benefit sticking with Russia. The only reason you people defend Russia or the relationship with Russia is from the cold war. If India was as selfish as you suggest ,they would drop Russia. But turns out India won't in part because of historical ties.

  8882.  @JamesKerLindsay  There appears to be some very strong connection between the strength of nationalism in a country and the need for individuals in that country to defend just about everything their country does. I'm American and despite rising nationalism here, it still isn't as bad as Turkey, Russia, China, etc. But when compared to western and northern Europe, US certainly has a lot of nationalism. Europeans appear to be able to take criticism more than Americans. Americans tend to be able to take criticism of their country more than say Russia or China.

  8883. Caspian Report videos are increasingly defending bad actors by ignoring lots of relevant information while seeming to try to blame the west as much as possible. No mention of the corruption and bad decisions by Pakistan that lead to the sitution? He didn't even mention China until the final couple minutes despite China being the biggest single owner of Pakistan debt. And the IMF gave a $6 billion bailout in 2019 wit half already paid but Pakistan didn't meet any of the changes it promised so it's understandable that they put a hold on the rest of the bailout.

Her friends & family would ask me questions about me or the US or west that lead me to believe they have been told things very different from reality. Her aunt & uncle had a shrine of Mao & Xi!! While I was there Jan 2020, me and my ex had to use VPN to get the real news about what was going on in Wu/han! The media there was just telling this story that first downplayed what was going on and then when they started to lockdown the country, it was nothing but praising Xi. I was shocked - i felf like I was in the book/movie 1984! Though with access to VPN.

So China grew faster in the early years of reforms but at the cost of later economic growth. China did so much to use exports & building homes to grow the economy at the expense of domestic businesses/services. The others started as export focused but transitioned to domestic markets earlier and better.
