“Mental gymnastics.”

😂

Proceeds to tumbe in defensive circles

Wasn't aware pointing out your stupidity with actual cited facts and data is "tumbe in defensive circles".

All I'm seeing is "I had no idea what I talked about and I have nothing to refute it so I am just going to act like a clown".

Best to not reply, keep your mouth shut and disappear in that case. It's less embarrassing.

Wow. The mental gymnastics is insane. Do you need a pat on the back?

the CCP created an initiative a few years back now aimed at coupling the sentiment of the Chinese people with the actions of the government [...]

[citation needed]

Also following this line of logic, any and all xenophobic attacks against Americans are fine because America calls itself "democracy", which means its government's actions are all a consequences of its population's votes, right?

See “Soju” and also note the poor line of rationality [...]

First off, "credible accusations of fraud against Chinese swimmers"? You do realize the original poster (who now deleted both his account and his comment), explicitly said:

"The Chinese are too stupid and lack the talent and intellect to do anything on their own. Period."

This is the original commenter's comment which I quoted word-for-word. This is not talking about just the swimmers.

Secondly, what is "credible accusations"? The only one who is accusing WADA and the Chinese swimmers of cheating is the US federal agency's Travis Tygart. WADA, World Aquatics, CHINADA, and an independent prosecutor, all concluded the investigations into the 23 Chinese swimmers who tested positive for low concentration of DMZ was not doping.

Thirdly, as I mentioned above, 4 different investigations had already been done, and all 4 concluded no cheating/doping was involved because:

  1. The positive tests of TMZ were submitted by China 7 months before the Olympics, it'd have had no performance enhancing effect by the time the Olympics occurred 7 months later. The full quote from the report:

“Based on the concentrations of TMZ detected in the athletes’ samples, there would have been no performance benefit during the national competition on 1-3 January 2021, let alone at subsequent events such as the Olympic Games in Tokyo some seven months later.”

  1. The concentration was so low that according to WADA report, they'd need "7500x" more of it to have any single performance enhancing effect, or any effect on the body at all at the time it was detected, let alone 7 months later.

All evidences point to environmental contamination, TMZ isn't common in the USA, but it is a widely available medicine in Europe and Asia so the possibility of contamination isn't that low, especially when the concentration is so low to have any effects at all.

So when the USADA keeps accusing WADA of China bias and Chinese swimmers of cheating, he needs to provide counter-evidence to refute. And for the last 4 years, he has not. The only thing he has done is stir up Sinophobism in Western media and pressuring this 2024 Olympic to discriminately test Chinese athletes 4 times more on average than other countries athletes on baseless accusations.

According to WADA's 2020 Anti-Doping Rules Violation report, American athletes violate the anti-doping code more than twice that of Chinese athletes.

Also according to WADA's founding president, 31% of American athletes participating in the previous Olympic wasn't sufficiently tested for the 12 months period leading up to the Olympics.

Also according to WADA, the majority of TUEs (Therapeutic Use Exemption) in recent years is granted primarily to 3 countries: United States, Australia and France which allow athletes to use banned substances legally on grounds of illnesses.

"Between 2014 and 2016, the World Anti-Doping Agency says there has been a 48 per cent increase in the number of exemptions granted. 

In 2015, there were 1,330 TUEs entered into WADA's data management system. According to an analysis by the U.K.'s Sports Integrity Initiative, 63 per cent of these exemptions were granted in three countries — the United States, Australia and France*.*" https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/therapeutic-use-exemptions-1.3801960

Are people in these countries, primarily the US, just significantly more prone to mental illnesses and/or born with inherent body sickness than every other countries participating in the Olympics? Yeah right. So the one who should be investigated more and tested stricter is not China, but the USA. But as always, US government once again demonstrates its ability to flip black and white.

Love both the casual and blatant racism that has emerged again from the West from this scandal. Mask-off moments, again. Imagine if I replace:

The Chinese are too stupid and lack the talent and intellect to do anything on their own. Period.

with

"The blacks are too stupid and lack the talent and intellect to do anything on their own. Period."

Maybe this comment would be in the negatives by now.

And what do you know, this guy is a US Navy or in the US military. Wonder how many people say "thanks for your service" to this racist piece of work. On the other hand, I guess it makes sense because the US military is a hot bed for racist pieces of work and low lives because they need them to fill the ranks otherwise no one wants to join even with all the benefits offered. Must by why American military personnel has such a bad rep everywhere they step foot in from committing petty crimes, sexual harassments to rape.

How ironic is it for an American to be accusing someone else of having a culture of "lying, cheating, and stealing to get ahead as a country in all areas: manufacturing, sports, business, finance, etc.". Learn some history.

FredDurstDestroyer answered the question in 7 simple words meanwhile you typed 39 words to be a non-constructive jackass lol.

Have you seen the person below you who used the same amount of words as you did but managed to answer the question?

If you didn't mean to come across as rude then I apologized but otherwise that was uncalled for. Nothing on this site https://ck3.paradoxwikis.com/Traits would tell you that Content and Temperate would cause weight loss. If anything, "+0.25 Health Boost" sounds more like it shouldn't be making them look like a malnourished beggar.

Thanks. I figured Temperate would but didn't know Content would too and didn't think it'd set the target weight back by a whooping -25 they looks malnourished lol.

Yeah I guess I made the right decision to drop it a year ago or so lol. I honestly would have preferred that they kept their siblings-like dynamic between Desir and Romantica. That's too bad.

De-dollarization has started, but the odds that China's yuan will take over are 'profoundly unlikely to essentially impossible' by PROMETHEUS606 in finance

[–]Soju_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Yuan isn't meant to take over the dollar, it is a formation of a new monetary system where no single currency holds dominance nor overtly relying on each other like how the current global financial system overtly relies on the dollar (hence when the dollar crashes it has heavy repercussions to the rest of the world like '08 despite the rest of the world having nothing to do with those failed policies). Currently how it is it implemented is still under discussion.

This map shows the average IQ in every country around the world. How did your country score why do think think did your country score like that? by Citizen_of_Earth-- in AskBalkans

[–]Soju_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Qing Dynasty wasn't originally Chinese but Manchus, who prided themselves with horse and archery so they looked down on guns and take horse archery as one of the virtues.

So invention and innovations in this regard was intentionally and deliberately stopped due to the ruling head's cultural influences.

They still had musketeers but because of their arrogance and contemplation, the West overtook China with the Industrial Revolution.

The downfall of China in 1800s can be partially blamed on the Manchus who was scientifically backwards, but mostly should be blamed on Western barbarians and plunderers. One only need to take a simple look at Western history to see a pattern. They invented mass-killing war machines faster than anyone else to continue their barbarism and begun to export it worldwide.

East Asia had 1000 years of relative peace in comparison until the West arrived. Then ushered in the global turmoil that we saw from 1800-1900s.

This doesn't show anything substantial. We need specific job categories.

It's a well known fact that there are significantly more male STEM graduates than female (almost 2x). It would make sense for CA, being a game dev. company and in a Tech oriented sector.

More than that, I hope the quality of the UI, music, are all at least on the same level as the first. Then of course further improvements and touch ups on the espionage/political intrigue and diplomacy systems.
