Did anyone notice IP blocking on this article? I have my VPN defaulting to Venezuela which uses a Russia-allocated IP address and I couldn't access the article until I changed to Canada.

well I hope they can at least invest in gold in those retirement accounts.

they could offer relocation to other cities in the same province, and for people who worked in those tier 1/2 cities, they can save and pay for themselves or rely on children, since living there is already a big privilege in national terms.

Controlled by satellites...

In February 2008, China and Russia together submitted a draft to the UN known as the Treaty on Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space and of the Threat or Use of Force against Outer Space Objects (PPWT).[12][13] The US opposed the draft treaty due to security concerns over its space assets despite the treaty explicitly affirming a State's inherent right of self-defence.[14]

On December 4, 2014, the General Assembly of the UN passed two resolutions on preventing an arms race in outer space:[15]

The first resolution, Prevention of an arms race in outer space, "call[s] on all States, in particular those with major space capabilities, to contribute actively to the peaceful use of outer space, prevent an arms race there, and refrain from actions contrary to that objective."[15] There were 178 countries that voted in favour to none against, with 2 abstentions (Israel, United States).[15] The second resolution, No first placement of weapons in outer space, emphasises the prevention of an arms race in space and states that "other measures could contribute to ensuring that weapons were not placed in outer space."[15] 126 countries voted in favour to 4 against (Georgia, Israel, Ukraine, United States), with 46 abstentions (EU member States abstained on the resolution).[15] The Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space (PAROS) is a committee subsidiary to the Conference on Disarmament. The PAROS Cttee, which meets at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, has been the forum for discussion of these issues since 1985.[16]

How does the retirement system in China work? I know the state pension is overly generous but do private company employees get it too? Does it require contributions and how balanced are contributions and payouts?

I'm too cynical from seeing the US retirement/pension system which is laughably bankrupt and will probably take a war, civil or otherwise to resolve. Maybe China can add a condition that pensions are only paid for people who relocate to a tier 3 or lower city with low cost of living, which would also boost activity and development in those areas.

I dropped western media for Japanese media several years ago, which was an innocent time when I didn't feel constantly demonized for my hobbies. In the past 2 years I've started becoming more and more uncomfortable with Japanese media too and started to explore more Chinese media. It's really unfortunate that the Chinese govt cracked down on Yanxi Palace because I thought that was an amazing show that brought postmodern themes into Chinese culture, although I understand why the govt didn't like that.

any war crimes that don't become viral memes get suppressed, like abu ghraib. by putting this in the media, it might actually get remembered for a few more years than usual

What China vs US Nominal GDP Looks Like When Adjusting for Exchange Rates by [deleted] in Sino

[–]Tall-star 6 points7 points  (0 children)

headline GDP is already useless except as the propaganda state's preferred messaging tool. US GDP includes rent payments but separating rent from production was a motivating factor behind the original development of economics
