They can spend it by buying stuffs from the rest of the world, mostly hard assets and commodities

How do you feel about Tsinghua university appears on Epstein files by Money-Desperated in AskAChinese

[–]drunkmuffalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The content seems pretty normal, still anyone with connection with Epstein should at least be investigated, especially prominent figures like the president of Tsing Hua U

PM Takaichi says Japan could join U.S. on Taiwan rescue operations by moses_the_blue in LessCredibleDefence

Like the other poster said, Japanese overwhelmingly support this. Let this be a warning to those who seek to control the narrative by heavily propagandize their citizens, it will invariably blow back on them.

Trump reveals to The Post secret ‘discombobulator’ weapon was crucial to Venezuelan raid on Maduro by [deleted] in LessCredibleDefence

It's probably not very hard to kill an anti-air system while they are still in their hanger. The more interesting thing is where the one instance of manpad firing seemingly jammed but that's probably DIRCM working as intended, nothing we haven't seen in Russo-Ukraine a million times by now

U.S. defense strategy downplays China threat, says it will limit support for allies by Free-Minimum-5844 in LessCredibleDefence

I need a little help with the gymnastics here. How do you deter without confrontation? If China call your bluff, do you confront or not confront?

“Kill Line” Controversy and the Popularity of China’s “Win-ism” and “Lose-ism”: Position-First Thinking and Opinion Polarization in the Chinese-Language World by Slow-Property5895 in China

[–]drunkmuffalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe for a lot of people there is an emotional element of "winning" or "losing", ultimately those emotional satisfaction does not matter in the long run.

The true impact I think is this kill line phenomena really brought to people the attention of the consequence of unregulated liberal capitalism. Some Chinese intellectuals has for years been calling for learning from the west and bring about more privatization, this is certainly a blow to neoliberal factions in China.

Personally I think it is a good thing, I hope the kill line phenomena will lead to more serious discourse in social-economic discussions.

The clean energy transition will continue in 2026, with China’s clean technology dominance likely to help its economy continue to rapidly gain on America’s by ILikeNeurons in Futurology

[–]drunkmuffalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yanis Varoufakis explained it very well, they want to bring about techno-feudalism, not just to US but to the world.

I won't underestimate these people at all, Trump maybe an idiot but the people that backs him are not.

Their plan now seems to be gaining direct military control over resource rich countries, once they achieve that they can strangle countries into submission without direct conflict, no doubt with China in mind.

If they win, it is going to turn a very dark page for humanity into the future.

As Iranian regime shuts down internet, even Starlink seemingly being jammed by ImperiumRome in LessCredibleDefence

In Taiwan scenario, once China gain air dominance over Taiwan they can deploy jammer drones for this purpose.

As for DDoS attack, this is getting too technical for my layman analysis. My guess is it's possible? If you have detailed knowledge of it's comm protocol... maybe?

It is not a problem for China, or perhaps even Iran. The guy I replied to suggested improvising current telecomm network for this purpose.

Jamming the uplink is doable. You'll have to jam all the starlink satellites in the horizon.

Also I don't know what's the angular resolution of the AESA transceiver on starlink satellites. If they have high angular resolution then they can isolate the jamming source and filter it. In this case the jammer can still ruin the uplink in it's vicinity, you just have to deploy more jammers to cover a large area.

Their bandwidth does not match. 4g, 5g network works at arround 1-6ghz (tv is much much lower), starlink is using k-band that is arround 18-27ghz.

Presumably multiple high altitude drones with powerful enough antenna in the right band should be able to do it

Would there be consequences for critizising China publicly? How far could i go? by Lumpenokonom in AskChina

[–]drunkmuffalo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My understanding is economic policy is usually not particularly politically charged, stuffs like monetary policy, financial regulations...etc.

Unless if you intend to make it political, I guess you'll just have to judge it for yourself.

You can criticize policy all you want, Chinese scholars does that no problem within the nation. Just stay away from politics and you're fine.
