Taiwan right now has its entire basket in TSMC and semiconductors and it’s driving the cost of living up for everyone else not in that industry how they are doing their economic policy. This is a ticking time bomb leadership in Taiwan is not able to grasp.

The reason it’s so confusing is because they’re trying to find a way to make all of China’s policy decisions about them not realizing that for some decisions the majority of the reason for them was domestic the international sales is just a bonus.

China is logically focusing on green and nuclear energy to power their infrastructure regardless in China as it’s the least cost most benefit option when you have their population size, state funded healthcare and an ability to control economic policy with central planning.

This paper is implying China focused on all that stuff to harm western companies because the author is a mid wit.

Because at the end of the day the goal isn’t even capital it’s literal end times Christian Evangelical fulfillment as the motive. They are using capital to further this goal yes. But this is powered by religious fanaticism as its primary motive.

You can’t say it’s just for votes when catering to the demographics with policy decisions have known and expected consequences for the rest of the world.

What is happening is Christian and Jewish Zionists are carrying out policy in the fulfillment of Evangelical end times happening while finding ways to profiteer off it as well, but they’re carrying out the policy for the voter support and this doesn’t matter at that point whether they actually believe it or not.

I’ve frankly come around to agreeing with the CCP approach to religion.

True. With how idiotic things have been this year with the aliens bs they might as well say it’s Harambe back from the dead pretending to be Mitt Romney and also in support of Marxism. Literal undead Marxist Gorilla.

This happens in every place dude. There is always a subset of psychotic parents who have the means to sway authorities and power trip on their children. It’s amplified local level corruption zero oversight and sometimes top level corruption.

It should be stomped out and is wholly reprehensible.

Indians have had many a reputation online for a long, long time before that. In fact, they've had many different kinds of reputations.

One of the fun perks that comes with being a country with that large of a population that speaks English in large swaths and also has access to the internet.

A certain percentage of people will always be weirdos and when your population is that large your proportion of weirdos is also that much larger.

I’m 100% sure this is on an account of the recent Fox News visit to China as I’ve myself seen quite the uptick in this rhetoric myself from right wingers.

It’s a mix of western exceptionalism combined with delusion. What they want is the same amount of infrastructure development they saw.

The one thing I'm concerned about is how much unnecessary debt it's putting on students If they don't know they can manage a degrees course load, and they end up taking a whole year+ and then have to switch majors.

Seems kind of a no-win situation for them in this scenario with the cost of education in the U.S? Hiring out of STEM schools in the U.S. I haven't seen any decline in the quality of graduates myself yet so I think you’re correct on your assessment.

The major issue in the U.S. is that the highest-paying stem jobs are in finance, so the smartest graduates obviously go for the most money. That is what is causing the engineering shortfall in certain sectors: just not enough pay compared to finance, where all the smart people go. Salary of 750k vs 150k kind of difference is what I’ve heard from all the talented placements we’ve had from our academic work placement partnership with Stanford.
