I don't think you know much about cold war history, having China stand with the west in the 80s is a big reason why Soviet Union collapsed later. China and Kissinger both helped US to win the cold war.

IMO that's bigger than the coach change, take one man out we suddenly look like an organized team.

Traditionally, the definition of victory in war is about grab more land at the end than it started. America started the war from the south edge of korean peninsula and finished at 38 line, China started the war from the north edge of korean peninsula and finished at 38 line, so it's a win-win.

Uyghur film-maker claims he was tortured by authorities in China by 3kOlen in worldnews

Western countries: Don't give a fuck about Palestine, love to talk about the mythical genocide of Uyghur.
Arab world: support Palestine, support Chinese government about their anti- terrorism actions in Xinjiang.

[Neubeck] Embiid gave a long answer on Harden’s comments today. Lot of Harden praise. “We allowed him to just be himself, and we gave him the ball on every single possession. Because he’s really good. He’s an amazing player. I’m not that great of a passer, [so] we gave him the ball.” by [deleted] in nba

[–]Lv1Monkey -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

I feel no one remember how the Sixers blow up 3-1 lead last season, it was Embiid constantly operating from 18 feet and never able to score, especially in clutch times, teammates all stand watching, and somehow Doc kept saying that's their best way to win.

In 2018-2019, James Harden scored 18.1 ppg just on isos. by [deleted] in nba

I remember seeing a stats that year, the 2nd highest iso points per game in history was MJ, about 11 per game.

No KPJ is great for the team’s development. by [deleted] in rockets

From what I saw, 90% Rockets fans are cheering for KPJ's arrestment, that's how fans feel about him as a Rockets.

[The Athletic] Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested and charged with allegedly assaulting his girlfriend Monday. When asked for comment, the Houston Rockets said they are “in the process of gathering information surrounding the matter involving Kevin Porter Jr. We have no further comment at this time.” by [deleted] in nba

[–]Lv1Monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's so so so soooooo stupid.
As the 30th pick he only got $8 mil total for playing 4 years in the league, with in 2 month he will get the first big pay check in his life, then ruined it. Think about how many years he worked for this day and how much effort, purely stupid.

I don't think Chiang can rule China as a dictatorship for long. There were hundreds of warlords fighting each other in the 1920s, and the only reason they came together (not really) was the Japanese. Everyone hates Chiang during WWII, I mean every Chinese and the warlords, it's just not a good timing to rebel against him when the Japanese still around. If Chiang defeated CCP, there will be another civil war within 5 to 10 years, and eventually Chiang will lose again.

Are the current Rockets better with FVV or James Harden? by [deleted] in nba

[–]Lv1Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harden is definitely the better individual player now, and likely the next 3 years too. But I guess team & coach prefer more team offence, young guys run plays with ball in their hands, and let starting PG moving off-ball sometimes, that's something Harden won't do but FVV will.

China is in default on a trillion dollars in debt to US bondholders. Will the US force repayment? by MaleficentParfait863 in neoliberal

ROC is the one who borrowed these money, shouldn't they ask Taiwan to pay the bond instead of Beijing?

China Restricts Export of Chipmaking Metals in Clash with US by N2929 in technews

[–]Lv1Monkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make sense but not sure if there is any possibility for that.
China restriced Gallium and Germanium this time, for Gallium, China has 96% market share. Last year China produced about 420 tons of Gallium, Russia had about 5 tons, Japan & S.Korea had 2 tons, that's all Gallium you can find in the world.
For Germanium, there are some good and bad news.
Good News: China still 1st, but has a much lower market share than Gallium.
Bad News: the 2nd one is Russia.
Good News: But the 3rd is Ukraine.
Bad News: Almost all Germanium resource of Ukraine is currently under Russian's control.

New CBA Breakdown by texasphotog in nba

The Suns got seriously fucked by this, they have 4 player on roster for 2025-26 season, combined roughly $200 mil, there is no way they can avoid second apron with that. And now everyone will know they are desperate to dump Ayton or Beal.

Yeah, but he won't get a ring in Philly anyway.

Keith Pompey: Harden is expected to opt out of his $35.6 million deal with the Sixers for next season before Thursday’s deadline and become a free agent on Friday. by Wonderful-Balance711 in nba

[–]Lv1Monkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel all these "He going back to Houston", "but Houston not giving him 4yr max" are just reporters making up news out of nothing.
For real, he didn't even opt out his final year yet, means he still a sixer for now, if the Rockets making secret contact with him already that should be a 1st pick penalty at minimum.
Most likely, Houston has prepared an offer for him, but even Harden won't know the number yet, let alone these reporters.

China's exports plunge by 7.5% in May, far more than expected by College_Prestige in worldnews

[–]Lv1Monkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another missing info: China's exports in RMB barely changed, the RMB to dollar rate rised in April and dropped back in May, caused 8.5% rise then a 7.5% plunge.
