I'm far more interested in the use and benefit coming from ai developed in China than the finance inflated sci-fi hype of western firms.

They'll do anything but accept that they've been used and are being discarded by NATO.

Communism wasn't good for the Romanovs is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

It's not primarily about covid or health, it's about Palestine and free speech. Supporters of these recent efforts are trying to criminalize masked protest and give the state more authority to target resistance activity.

From Forbes

Under the new bill, anyone wearing a mask or a face covering would violate the law and could be charged with a misdemeanor. The only exemptions would be individuals who wear masks or face coverings for health or religious reasons.

How do you think authorities will regularly utilize the health exemption for wearing a mask in public? I'd imagine, given the history of police proclivities and their own comments, they will use it to selectively target the usual suspects and anyone raising a fuss about genocide, about war, police brutality etc.

I'm not a bot, but here is my simplified version of this article. "Planned economy managed by a peoples party keeps winning despite challenges including western efforts at containment."

The best defense is a good... encircling of potential rivals with disposable puppet states who prop up your inflated MIC.

"Nor has it [China] publicly offered a viable alternative to America’s actions."

Ansar Allah: 'did we fucking stutter?'

It's the most american thing ever. A psychopathic murderer praised as a hero lies about killing desperate poor people from atop a temple of capitalism during a crises largely ignored by the government.

Such smug confidence can't be wrong!

Is this a genuine question or sarcasm?

Seeing Biden give credence to bullshit propaganda about beheaded babies while committing without reservation to genocidal retaliation was nauseating. Without any acknowledgement of decades of proven Israeli crimes against humanity and the absolute immiseration of Palestinian people. Generations born and murdered inside a concentration camp. The colonial hegemony is so fucking desperate to defend the bloated corpse of the old empire. I'm so tired of hearing the pearl clutching criticism of Hamas or Palestinians tactics from the 'left.'

How many Palestinians must die before they are allowed to fight back? Should they schedule their attacks around music festivals held at the fucking walls of their prison at a military base? Should they consider how colonists might feel scared?

It seems to me they don't want to get embroiled in a proxy war with NATO. They have a longstanding policy of non-intervention which has kept them free of conflict and able to focus on improving the economic life of their citizens. Avoiding conflict allows the CPC more time to develop its economy and global connections in ways that will defeat the American hegemony in the long run. Every year the forces of capital hollow out western economies, particularly in actual industrial production, while China continues planned development.

We cannot place all our hope for the defeat of capitalism and imperialism in the CPC. It is weird to expect China to stand in open opposition to the global order before it makes strategic sense and will benefit their people.
