Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.

Completely unashamed. If I made a mistake like this I would sulk into a pile of tears and liquor. But these people are insane.The western media and other institutions backs any bullshit, no matter how false, dishonest, and outright dangerous about China. Their brain's are programmed to think that they are always right.



Chinese people have no friends.

Taiwan also passed their anti infiltration law last dec. They are still holding a few mainland students/HK residents without any charge but they are not allowed to leave Taiwan.

Actually, it's more sanctions for completely unrelated reasons that definitely aren't in violation of our free trade agreement. Like these pests we found in your timber. No, we won't disclose any more details, just trust us.

100%. now i must sulk. After reading that Chinese no friends interview and glancing at Adam's twitter profile as director of a think tank based in Ottawa, I just assumed the worst. After actually reading his twitter it's clearly satire.

Imagine the outrage if China started funding BLM and Native American rights groups. That's not the PRC's MO though, so it won't happen. Russia, on the other hand...

I am thinking Iranian IRGC and Talibans.

Also India -> Tibetan fighters vs China -> Indian Northeastern states

internal CSPAM contradictions are rendered non-antagonistic due to the struggle to elevate and bring the primary, antagonistic contradiction to the fore, the contradiction between CSPAM and D&D

there is also a contradiction between CSPAM and :gb2gbs:

it's good chinese if you're a goon who catches all the references

it's a completely illogical sentence otherwise

Chinese doesn't let you say stuff like "it's too early for me to be studying math" you have to have a logical connection

The NED page mentions four Uyghur groups that they're funding. Are any of them behind any terrorist attacks?

wasn't there just an article about how Xi wanted to make a bunch of public utilities and such market-based

In policy recommendations for the nation’s upcoming five-year plan, released on Tuesday, the Communist Party’s Central Committee called for deepening mixed-ownership reform, and it particularly vowed to promote the market-oriented reform of energy, railway, telecom and public utilities.

she and the guy she’s quoting are talking about how knowledge of the language and culture shouldn’t be used to gatekeep people away from writing about chinese politics for the wall street journal and people who know chinese are just flexing. so i guess the only gatekeeping that’s acceptable is having gone to yale or whatever?

it's literally just 'white power should not be questioned' and isn't about langauge skills or knowledge

it seems like if you claim to be a serious journalist or researcher on a country you might want to learn the language

or we just live in a world where expertise is less valuable than hot takes for the click gods

Seems like he's planning on rewarding people loyal to him, and punishing people who are not. Pretty standard stuff, the rhetoric around it is just window dressing.
