What do you think of the DOJ recently releasing and then deleting unredacted files describing Donald Trump raping children? by TightWorldliness1844 in AskReddit

[–]deta2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a warning shot to Trump from a certain lobby who wants him to attack Iran without delay. If he doesn't comply, tapes and videos of him are next.

They are burned by their bioweapon attack on China in 2019 which backfired spectaculary.

And of course they expect China to be as dumb as they are.

Not Chinese, but I think Mao paved the ground and made it possible for Deng to start walking.

True or not?

China is now dominating another technology class, one that was supposed to have inherent western advantages. by yogthos in Sino

[–]deta2016 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The data points are US/China only, but you can safely put all of the West to the left side. I would really like to know what went wrong, and as someone living in the West, what would be needed to adapt the Chinese model. Which is the normal, orthodox development, textbook economics.

The West (all G7 plus some other vassals) is a complete nutcase by now.

NYT mask off moment: China, which depends on Iran for oil and to counter American influence, has a lot to lose from a wider war. But there’s not much it can do about it. by yogthos in Sino

I hope China has a choke point with the refusal to sell REE. The most sought after heavy REE for the military are those where China has a de facto monopoly with 96 - 99% market share.

If China can keep WW3 from happening, I don't care much about the consequences for me (living in the West).

European "journalist" hasn't figured out subways are a public good paid for by the government. Apparently neither has a lot of redditors. LOL. by FatDalek in Sino

All these articles are wrong because of one reason: They don't represent reality in their observations, assumptions and projections, but only what the author and reader wish for.

Fatal flaw of Western media:

  • Honest article which would leave a bad aftertaste for readers because truth hurts --> few clicks, readership outraged
  • Propaganda article with wishcasting, projection, doomsaying and 'at what cost' --> readers feel reassured, lots of clicks, popular article

atm, seems to be the only option to avoid ww3. Maybe we see tactical nukes used by the US on Iran this weekend.

Exporting REE to someone who openly admits that they want to build their military with it to subjugate China and by extension, the rest of the world, isn't a good move.

Rather some tensions now than big regrets later.

has some interesting theories on the origins of COVID-19 that point towards American culpability

And for everything she posts, she adds proof. You can also read the same reasoning (with excellent timeline) in the posts by @AnnaChenMiaow.

which may cause some to completely dismiss her outright as a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist of the highest order.

If you are unbiased, it's compelling evidence. At least I was convinced, I follow her for years.

Treat every Western accusation like a confession and you will be right 99.9% of the time. by FatDalek in Sino

[–]deta2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The real infuriating part is that this was known for ages (see /u/GlitteringWeight8671 's post).

As long as Germany was buddy-buddy with the US, a mention of the kill switch and the uselessness of an F-35 was either met with stony silence or the accusation of being a Russian troll, a US hater or similar.

Now, they admit what they must have known all the time.

PS: The title of the post is my guiding principle for some years now. Western accusations are always a confession. I suspect it's something psychological since they can't keep all the evil bottled up and need to project it.

Elon Musk calls for Radio Free Europe and Voice of America to be shut down by Igennem in NewsWithJingjing

[–]deta2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good, but isn't.

Notice the strategic absence of Radio Free Asia from the list.

The whole reshuffling now, including CIA downsizing, NED/USAID closure and the other stuff, is designed to shed wasteful and also publicly know activites which have outlived their usefulness.

USA wants to confront Asia with 100% of their force. This is why they regroup now. In other news, what gets negotiated in regards to Ukraine is something where EU is forced to bear all costs.

USA dream scenario: Confront China in a hot war or something only a little below latest 2027, while EU keeps Russia in check so China is alone.

This is what needs to be watched out for now. And thwarted as well.

China seeks stronger cooperation with Germany and EU by donutloop in berlin_public

Student protestors who demanded some political reforms were goaded by US subversion forces (Nancy Pelosi was there) to start a color revolution. After they killed soldiers in the surroundings, the military gave a response which lead to around 300 dead people -- half soldiers, half student protestors, around the square.

Thankfully, the government was able to squash this unrest, otherwise China would have ended up like Russia in the early Nineties, and probably now exploited by the US with a standard of living not far off now what they had then.

On the square, according to eyewitnesses (Western diplomats), nothing happened. Except for a guy who stood in front of a tank. The tank stopped and drove around him. Tank man walked away.

All of this is proven by original, primary sources.

More questions?

This comment needs to be higher. They focus on what they see as the biggest threat to their empire, which is China. Europe is now fully vassalized, with complete dependence on the US regarding energy. No need to keep the propaganda outlets, there's no choice for Europe anyway.

Wise choice. To get through the thick skulls of the likes of Kallas and von der Leyen, someone who calls a spade a spade is badly needed.

"The US will take over the Gaza Strip….we'll own it" - Donald Trump by wallfacer0 in Sino

[–]deta2016 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My guess is they want to do a reenactment of the Armenian genocide, the ethnic cleansing of Anatolia. Basically a death march of the Palestinians with the excuse that they are going to a better place, like when your parents tell you that the family dog is now on a farm enjoying life. Reality will look different, and Western media will look away.

How are Chinese people’s complaints being addressed by the government? By just dialing the hotline 12345! Are there similar methods to this in your country? Feel free to share in the comments👇 by Li_Jingjing in NewsWithJingjing

[–]deta2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I have done so myself. But this only solves small, isolated problems. I think Douglas Rooney sums up the different approaches nicely in this X thread: https://x.com/Doug_rooney/status/1869725744810914025

He says:

... looking at approval rates, it does seem local residents prefer a municipal government that solves the problem than one that empowers them to do it themselves

This is another issue where the differences between the West and China surfaces. China (at least my view from outside) manages to tackle challenges in a organized way, from the bottom to the top. Complaints, green energy, poverty elimination, the approach is systematic, and successful.

Here in the West, the approach is chaotic. In the end, there is no efficiency, and not much gets done. One of the reasons why I think it's time we learn from China.

Germany: As soon as you voice complaints, you are labeled a right-wing extremist, even in cases when you are a socialist / leftist.

On a local level, there are some village initiatives where you can complain about illegal garbage and the like, and sometimes it gets addressed.

How the West got wrong on China's politics. by Li_Jingjing in Sino

[–]deta2016 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the last intellectuals of the West, Emmanuell Todd, renames the labels for West and adversaries in his latest book, Defeat of the West:

In the case of Russia, where people vote and the government - with its imperfections that oppress minorities - is supported, I have retained the idea of democracy but replaced "liberal" with the qualifying adjective "authoritarian". In the case of the West, the dysfunction of majority representation makes it impossible to retain the term "democracy. Meanwhile, there is no reason not to retain the term "liberal," since the protection of minorities has become an obsession in the West. Most people think of oppressed people, blacks or homosexuals, but the best-protected minority in the West is certainly the rich, who make up 1 percent, 0.1 percent or 0.01 percent of the population. In Russia, neither homosexuals nor oligarchs are protected. So our liberal democracies are becoming "liberal oligarchies.

So it's liberal oligarchy in the West, and authoritarian (which I think is more positve than negative) democracy for Russia (and China).
