People's lifestyles are just different. It's hard to change it back. The article itself especially the first paragraph is full of baloney.

Of course but I wont be suprised if the CCP goes gung ho on promoting traditional culture and increasing birth rates to maintain grip on power

but the problem with all countries is the gen born in the 90s tend to be more liberal tho

If liberal refers to pro-USA, then definitely not. If liberal refers to decadence, then the problem exists everywhere.

Its both you have to connect the dots the US wants two things in the world radicals, and decadent slaves easy to control the world they despise nationalists of all kinds

Hu Jiantao looked like Yankee puppy

He was ineffective as leader and let his Premier Wen run amok with corruption.

Xi was def leg up from him more assertive

China's economy is already a mix of state owned and private. It's just a matter of balance. That's what is officially known as "socialism with Chinese characteristics". We won't go back to banning private ownership of the means of production. It was never about ideology for China. It was just about getting industrialized as quickly as possible.

Deng's reforms in the end were mixed. Capital stock was obviously accumulated. Manufacturing production increased. People's economic standards improved. Infrastructure was built. However, he let the corruption get way out of control.

In other words, Deng's reforms were an incomplete "economic revolution". It was Xi Jinping who brought the corruption under control and completed the "economic revolution" from state owned economy to market economy.

Deng also allowed to much westernization and materialism to fester

I've heard gypsies of China being used with Hakka before. I have a good Hakka friend who told me this.

"Gypsies" in the sense that they historically migrated from somewhere else (within China). That was hundreds of years ago. The comparison ends there. They are plain vanilla Han Chinese. The guy who told you Hakka are the Gypsies of China probably has no idea what Gypsies are like.

He meant only by migration/traveller context, nothing else. Of course nothing directly applies beyond that. Of course they are Han Chinese. Deng Xiao Peng was Hakka I believe.

I say be careful in importing western values like Evangelical Christianity

China also has a problem of rampant materialism imported thanks to Deng"s opening up

Deng was smart dude but his one child policy screwed you forever

Yeah the CCP should have experts on the koshere

But I urge the members here don't take the diaspora Pakistani opinions here about your country seriously

Most of then have no influence in foreign policy and politics which I am sorta glad because we will manage to self destruct ourselves

Yes. Tibetans are just darker skinned Hai Chinese. They are also capable of tolerating air with very little oxygen. I didn't venture away from the tourist areas. Otherwise, the Tibetans are just like anybody else.

When I was in Xinjiang it was well after the riots but just a few months before the proliferation of re-education camps. Most of the Uighurs were fine (all of the Hui were friendly) but we also ran into unfriendly locals who thought Han Chinese were invaders or trespassers. I guess with an attitude like that, they would be spending some time getting re-educated.

I fear the Han Chinese who are predominately middle age and senior ladies sponsored by their working age children would piss off the locals in those areas and exacerbate inter-ethnic tensions with their rudeness and ignorance.

Taiwan's a big mess but it's fortunate these incidents are being shown to the public instead of deliberately buried for fear of offending America.

Taiwan should just join the PRC

Something like 20% of Taiwanese are pro-Western imperialism. The cross straits situation will not be resolved by peaceful means, I think.

Hmm but they seem to have degenerate content as some say

Yeah but not the political kind.

Still kinda bad poisoning the youth is not good

Then again 90s China

Initially when the handover was agreed, it was a big victory because the British didn't want to leave without a fight. That was the 1980s China when people were much more patriotic. When the actual handover happened in the 1990s, China already became corrupted by crony capitalism. Instead of taking care of the working class, the Beijing elites simply replaced the British at the top of the food chain.

This lead to huge resentment from HKers because aside from the upper middle class and upper class, HKers live pretty shitty lives. Hordes of poorly mannered mainland tourists arrived. Then the mainland authorities didn't crack down on the resentment early enough and let it fester. They let these UK sponsored "democracy" parties run amok misleading people who are too young to remember colonialism.
