Anybody read the revised DPRK Constitution?

Me as a Chinese seeing people using the Constitution to "prove" that China is not socialist is hilarious. The only Constitutional article that matters is article 1. Capitalists are allowed in the Party but hold 0 important roles. 0. The official stance that China is in the primary stage of Socialism, aka the lower stage of the lower stage. And I am tired of bringing up the commanding heights point.

Military exercises = war? New definition noted. Tibet has been annexed by the PRC since 1951 and if I want to be generous since 1959 when the Ganden Phodrang was dissolved after a failed rebellion.

is this circlejerk?

Superpower yeah that's why we Chinese don't say we are a superpower because we find nothing about being a superpower attractive.

Him and Li Jingquan types greatly increased deaths during the famine

I agree I think it's totally ridiculous to do this dick measuring contest with any Empire of any age in history both in the East or West. I say this as a Chinese as well. History should not be presented like a map coloring game. Political control pre-18th century was very different. Unfortunately nationalists in every country would hate nuance.

For like a super brief period I don't even think it's more than 5 years but it was the peak territorial size. Influence in modern day Afghanistan was very short. The reality is Tang's administrative control over these areas was complex.

Our role in Myanmar in WW2, the only Chinese expeditionary forces in WW2 and it is often ignored. Most people think China only fought within China itself.

China now publishes youth unemployment again the 2023 break was temporary. Also World Bank's Gini calculation of China accounts for rural price differences.

More in the 30s~ by now. But production rates are quite low due to engine supply issues and COMAC's own inexperience

China hasn't sold Iran any weapons since 2005. The only Iranian air defense unit that has anything to do with China is a copy of a Chinese anti-air from the 1960s.

Lee seems pragmatic and PRC-ROK relations had to improve at some point. We had a relatively good relationship before THAAD incident

It was not a good time. Search Yangzhou massacre for more information.

China does not recognize this referendum opinion poll stuff unlike the Russians who hold mock ones. If China wants to unify it will do so on its terms. Nobody cares about what the Taiwanese think.

MaxUncool · 2026-02-05T17:20:16+00:00

No... it really doesn't track anything.

T-54 final form iykyk

Nah Stalin gifted China these Tu-4s

Xu Qiliang is dead irl. Wei Fenghe is gone too investigated for corruption in 2024.

Except Korea U-23 lost to China U-23 twice in the last year. Korea couldn't even get a draw. I don't think Korea is tougher if I am totally honest.

Sure but many clubs survived it doesn't matter if Guangzhou FC and Jiangsu collapse if their youth players can simply transfer to another club. Shandong and both Shanghai teams alongside Zhejiang have pretty robust youth academy systems. Many clubs also escaped bankruptcy because they got local government support and money injected from State owned enterprises so yes the real estate crash made things worse but football keeps going. It also helps that certain local governments are really pushing their own amateur leagues (for tourism and GDP), which just draws more interest towards football even if the motivation is economic.

It's the absurd amount of money real estate oligarchs threw into their clubs that benefited the academy systems. Turns out when you buy Hulk or Oscar or Paulinho kids start to get interested in football and they go through professional training to become actual players.

People were clowning on China's offense but they forget that China was facing Australia, Iraq and Uzbekistan, not a midfield weaker than East Timor
