  1. One of history's most consistent lessons is that Communists are liars without shame.

  2. Pride is the seminal curse of the cosmos. It drives the Chinese government to be obsessed with power and prestige, the people to prize wealth over character, both of them to regard foreigners with suspicion, the bureaucrats to think that their meddling in the economy is wisdom and not foolishness, and so on.

  3. That Kool-Aid mascot needs to look more like Xi, although I suppose that Winnie the Pooh would do fine.

  4. I suspect that some of these shills are die-hard socialists whose dogma has metastasized into a moral compass that is 100% wrong. They become everything that they profess to hate, in defense of a nation which is none of the things they profess to admire.

  5. Nothing that Snopes says should be taken at face value unless it is corroborated elsewhere or has absolutely no political consequence.

  6. The idea the the US and Soros are in cahoots is hysterical on its own.

  7. #1 in charity. The rest of you can STFU about how we don't do enough. The American opposition to social spending has nothing to do with selfishness or callousness. We have no problem plunking down money to help others. We simply think that doing it through the government is a bad idea.

  8. There is book titled Moscow 2042 in which a Russian man decides to destroy Communism from within by becoming the supreme leader of the Soviet Union and then doubling down and tripling down on communism until everything is wrecked and he is over thrown. Given what was done to Xi's family, it could be that he has realized that only the leader, with his power unchallenged, has any chance of bringing the system down. The other possibility is that Xi, like many people who only care about getting power and keeping it, knows only how to get power and to keep it, and is an idiot on all other matters.

  9. I'm wondering if the women in these places are making babies (since the stressors in industrialized societies which cause this are not present) or if it's just another trip to the abortion mill.

  10. I see that you've taken your first step towards emulating Winston's style of dress. Now you only need a collared shirt, a tie, and a jacket that fits your arms.

  11. Many American servicemen spend two or three years in other countries during their time. You will hear very, very few of them talk about America the way that American college professors do.

  12. Now waiting for the tofu dregs high-rises to fall over due to poor foundation work. This will be going on for the next six months.

  13. Xi is terror of being overthrown is due to the lingering scrap of the sense of justice that still resides in him. In the deepest core of his being he knows that the Chinese people's best interests are best served by overthrowing him.

  14. Google's motto is, "Don't be evil," but it's getting harder and hard to figure out what they mean by that.

  15. China will soon go into major demographic decline. If they're allowed to leave, it will be worse.

  16. If such an announcement could have spooked the bulls on Wall Street then the former stock prices were bubbles.

  17. Every time I see Xi I get the Winnie The Pooh theme as an earworm. 小熊维尼统治中国!

  18. I'm reminded of something Lyndon Johnson said: "While you're saving your face, you're losing your ass."

  19. All that death so that some fat guy could impress people who really didn't care. Pride is the seminal curse of the world.

  20. The new Syrian government is most certainly not going to be chummy with any nation that is not hostile to Israel.

  21. What we can do is put out a mobile game where you can play either as Taiwan or China in a simulated war. Make the Taiwanese forces OP, but allow the Chinese player to buy power-ups with real money.

  22. Ultimately a dictator chafes against reality.

  23. China will invade Taiwan as a last-gasp effort to build up the CCP's prestige.

  24. Yeah, it can't be good for a dictator if there's some guy from California telling his Chinese friends, "No, we don't arrest people for making jokes about our leaders."

  25. The more Xi runs thing the way Mao did, the more China will be stuck in a tar pit the way it was under Mao. Stolen technology, currency manipulation, and bribery of foreign leaders can only get you so far.
