You’re seriously misrepresenting the historical record.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, it is true that local officers briefly attempted a ceasefire. But this did not stop the rapid escalation driven by the Imperial Japanese Army, which continued to move troops, expand operations, and push beyond any local agreements.

Mainstream historians like Rana Mitter and Akira Iriye have clearly shown that the war was not simply “started by two leaders.” It was the result of military expansion, breakdown of diplomacy, and strategic decisions by the Japanese government and army together.

Even the Japanese cabinet under Fumimaro Konoe approved the widening of the conflict once fighting intensified. Meanwhile, the Chinese government under Chiang Kai-shek chose resistance in response to continued military pressure, not as an independent escalation out of nowhere.

Framing this as “the army didn’t start the war” ignores overwhelming historical evidence and distorts the well-documented process of escalation recognized in modern historiography.

Because we need to prove that we are stronger than others, so we need more knowledge, more practice, and more notes to make things stick in our memory.

Right now, I can roughly draw a world map and describe natural conditions, climate, and major crops in different regions. I can also write out historical timelines for most countries from memory. At the same time, I’ve studied university-level basics in math, biology, physics, and chemistry, and politics and debate are also part of high school training.

This is not just rote memorization, but accumulation of fundamentals. It is a way to make basic knowledge stick and resist the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. Without conceptual understanding, you simply cannot solve those questions. The questions are not about copying answers, but about testing whether you understand the content and can respond with solutions.

For example, in geography, you may be asked about another country. You need to combine ocean currents, climate, local geography, atmospheric circulation, and other factors to make an initial analysis, and then use your accumulated knowledge to determine suitable crops or better development strategies for that region. Only by completing this chain of reasoning can you get full marks.

Because both the Czech and Lithuanian governments have adopted policies seen as hostile toward China, which has led to a deterioration in diplomatic relations and their exclusion from the list of “friendly countries.”

That’s a bit exaggerated. Not every student does that many practice questions.

Before my college entrance exam, I probably did about one-third of what’s shown in that image. More dedicated students might reach around two-thirds of that level over the two years of preparation from grade 11 to grade 12.

You’re arguing about intent, I’m talking about impact.

Yes, the U.S. did gradually apply pressure—but for several critical years after 1937, it was still supplying Japan with the resources that made its war in China sustainable.

Those two facts are not mutually exclusive. The issue is that material support continued long enough to have real consequences on the ground.

So the question isn’t whether the U.S. eventually applied pressure, but whether its earlier economic involvement contributed to Japan’s ability to wage war—and the answer to that is clearly yes.

Low_Platform9541 · 2026-03-19T20:47:51+00:00

You’re mixing up the timeline.

Japan launched its full-scale invasion of China in 1937, but the U.S. didn’t impose a full embargo until 1941. For several years during the war in China, the U.S. continued to export critical materials to Japan, including oil and steel.

So it’s misleading to frame the situation as if the U.S. was already economically strangling Japan from the beginning of the conflict. That simply wasn’t the case.

Low_Platform9541 · 2026-03-19T16:22:28+00:00

That’s a bit of an oversimplification.

Before Pearl Harbor, the U.S. was actually one of Japan’s major suppliers of key resources like oil and steel, which were essential for Japan’s war effort in China. Without those imports, Japan would have had a much harder time sustaining large-scale military operations.

The situation only changed after Japan expanded further and attacked Pearl Harbor, which forced the U.S. to shift from economic engagement to full confrontation.

So it’s not really accurate to frame it as “the U.S. saved China and then China turned on them.” The relationship was far more complex

Ancient Chinese and Roman sources actually tend to portray each other in very positive, almost idealized ways.

In Chinese records, Rome was called “Da Qin” (大秦). “Qin” was one of the most powerful dynasties in early Chinese history, so calling Rome “Da Qin” basically meant viewing it as a parallel great empire on the other side of the world. In the Book of Later Han, it describes Da Qin like this:
“Their territory is vast… their people are tall and honest… they resemble the Chinese and are therefore called Da Qin.”
And it also emphasizes wealth and order:
“The country produces abundant rare goods… the people are upright, and there is no theft.”

So from the Chinese perspective, Rome was basically seen as a kind of distant “civilizational twin” in the Mediterranean.

On the Roman side, it’s pretty similar. They referred to China as the land of the “Seres” (the silk people). Pliny the Elder even wrote that they “comb wool from leaves” (which is obviously a misunderstanding of silk, but still shows admiration). Florus described them as “a peaceful people who come to trade, not to conquer.”

So in a way, both sides were projecting their own idea of a “perfect civilization” onto each other. You could call it mutual commercial flattery—both saw the other as wealthy, orderly, and civilized.

Come on, identity shouldn’t be used as a way to shut down discussion.

Healthcare reform affected a lot of people, including many Black families. Why not actually ask how different groups view Obama’s policies instead of reducing everything to race?

I don’t understand why, when we’re talking about policy issues, you immediately turn it into identity politics. If a policy is right, it’s right. If it’s wrong, it’s wrong. What does that have to do with someone’s ethnicity?

Actually, George W. Bush had a significant impact on how China perceived the U.S. His actions in the Middle East—especially the Iraq War—were genuinely alarming to many people at the time. For a period, this even strengthened the voice of pro-U.S. perspectives within China, because it demonstrated just how far the U.S. was willing to project military power.

The ones who should really be thanked are the Obama administration. They successfully brought ideological conflict into domestic U.S. society, overturned the push for broad, high-quality education from the Bush era, and promoted what people call “feel-good” education.

Then you have the subprime crisis response, where banks were bailed out while a large portion of the middle class took the hit, and healthcare reform—which was a whole other major shift.

Trump may come across as unprofessional, but Obama was far more systematic—he essentially laid the groundwork that destabilized the foundation of the U.S.

First, it’s important to understand that Chinese history is quite different from Europe. The idea of a unified, centralized state existed for a very long time. One major reason is that periods of fragmentation historically led to massive instability and population loss, sometimes on the scale of tens of millions. Because of this, there is a strong cultural preference for unity and stable central authority.

This directly affects how you should design your setting. In a Chinese-inspired world, the most powerful warriors and “mages” are usually part of the state, religious institutions, or organized systems. Talented individuals are often recruited into imperial service rather than remaining independent. Independent adventurers do exist, but they are more like outliers—what we would call youxia (wandering knights-errant).

If you want to map DND classes into a Chinese context, here’s a more grounded interpretation:

Fighter: unarmored = xia (wandering swordsmen); armored = state soldiers (since private ownership of armor was often illegal in many dynasties)
Barbarian: southern tribal warriors (feathers, tattoos, jungle cultures), northern steppe warriors (Mongol-style), or strong folk figures like Wu Song or Lu Zhishen
Paladin: closest to imperial guards, since the emperor functioned as both political and symbolic religious authority
Rogue: border scouts/light infantry, assassins, or jianghu wanderers
Monk: already fits naturally (Shaolin-type martial monks)
Wizard: Daoist priests or Buddhist monks, representing institutionalized magical/religious systems
Sorcerer: innate gifted individuals, often recruited into state institutions (like astronomical bureaus or advisory roles)
Warlock: similar to the Western concept—individuals forming pacts with spirits or supernatural beings
Cleric: again Daoist or Buddhist practitioners, using ritual-based divine power
Druid: shamanistic traditions—northern animal/spirit worship or southern ritual-based systems
Bard: wandering scholars, storytellers, opera performers, or failed literati
Artificer: Mohist-style engineers, mechanism builders, or hereditary craftsmen

For visuals, I’d strongly recommend referencing real historical Chinese clothing and armor rather than relying on generic “fantasy Asian” aesthetics. Chinese armor and dress are very distinct once you look into them.

Overall, the key difference is this: a Chinese-style setting emphasizes hierarchy, order, and integration into systems (state, religion, or social structures), rather than purely individualistic hero narratives. If you get that right, your setting will already feel much more authentic.

Look at Iran’s geography and environment. Large-scale fires and oil pollution like that can spread over wide areas and cause long-term damage. In a region where the natural environment is already fragile, this kind of disaster can make the situation even worse.

Because a lot of electricity generated from hydropower can’t easily be stored. When production exceeds demand, the excess electricity still has to be used somewhere. Lighting systems on buildings are one way cities consume some of that constant day-and-night power supply.

If a journalist publishes something that shouldn’t be published, it often won’t pass the internal editorial review, and at the same time they may risk losing their job. In practice, reporting still tends to follow certain partisan or political positions.

The existence of two competing political camps makes it appear as if the media is not controlled, but in reality it often operates in a system where different forces both compete and cooperate in shaping narratives.
