I am almost 20 years older than you. Those memory are still vivid. They do interested in turning China to another India, or Russia post 1990s. Just try to convince Chinese, and find a Gorbachev.

Those Chinese propaganda was not well made in 20 years ago, not as fashionable as western one. I would say CCP is not good at propaganda industry, the west are master.

Now China propaganda is better managed, at least domestically.
That's why we can have internet fire wall, and still keep people happy.
It's hard to imagine other countries can keep their fire wall and stable government in the same time.

If you knew how difficult I get into the top university in China, while the minorities can get into it with lower test score. You will know a small portion of how well they were treated.
Ground reality is not the same as western media reported at all.

Keep it. It's totally fine. Not a big deal.

Look I understand what you saying. I also know china does provide good facilities to its minorities. On the other hand, lots of our problems in Pakistan are due to us not doing that. Still, I just wanted to clarify. Take good care.

I'll look into it friend.

Thank you!!!

@waz, @WebMaster . Thanks a lot for the adjustment. I will play by the book.

Sure, sure.

what's up?

Wanted to know some weibo accounts to follow related to defence, osint, and tech leaks.

I am not familiar with. You can check with @LKJ86

I think Pakistan could get around the India problem by making peace with it, but that won't happen anytime soon.

Modernity is good, but the road to modernity is bumpy. Many countries failed on the halfway. Such as Thailand, Philippines, South America, Mexico, Egypt, and the list can go on and on.

There are two countries are similar to China. One is Singapore, governed by elites base on credibility and capability. One is Iran, centralized the power on top of all interest group and sectarians.
The difference between China and Singapore is size.
The difference between China and Iran is CCP Party versus Guardian Council.

A lot of PDF members here are prone liberal, especially those get educated or live in western countries.
Chinese are bashed, which I am not surprised.

Welcome back @viva_zhao , hope to have good convo with you on matters soon. Osman sadly got banned for a week just now

Thank you, my Indian friend.
I noticed that. My post got deleted yesterday as well. I can live with it. :)

China need soft power, China lag behind for decades. Many reasons, the biggest decline of China civilization in history since 19th century, the invasion of western powers, the invasion of Japanese(which is heart breaking, because Japanese is Chinese culturally back in 1930s), and revolutions after revolutions, good and bad ones.

China is lonely, most of the resources on earth has been occupied by western powers, if you count European, Russia, US, Canada, Australia, South America together, they has 8 times of resources of China.

China is no fool, it's long long term game. If China fail, I am pretty sure, the future of all Muslim is dark. There is no one can check the western power. Literally NO ONE.

No, I did NOT misunderstand. The same elites who speak English, read English in HK and Pakistan. Those elites think for themselves, love themselves more than the countries. And the very small group, who can influence the media, banking, court, and make huge damage to Pakistan.
If Pakistan can NOT control them, they control Pakistan.
I read too much history, the Chinese history, thousands lessons learnt.

"Inferred" methodology (most popular in the internet clickbait) is just not a substitute for direct sampling (before we even get to IQ vs final functional intelligence arguments), should we say Chinese were "low IQ/intelligence" at their worst relative development time period (say 1940s?)

As a scientific analysis, people sampled should have similar education back ground in the similar age and nutriture.

You should compare difference races in the U.S. Or different races in China.

I am not a racist, but I don't believe all men are equal neither.

I believe some are good at math, some are good at art, some are good at sports, and so on. My English sucks, my physics is good.

I mostly agree, I just put direct data for all this stuff as the only standard to measure. If its IQ, then you got to design sample survey with direct measurement of IQ...simple. The quoted IQ comparisons do not do that....they infer too much. Its not good science to me. Just measure what you say you want to measure, period.

The Americans should read The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers: Economic Change and Military Conflict from 1500 to 2000 Kindle Edition

On January 17, 1961, Eisenhower gave his final televised Address to the Nation from the Oval Office. In his farewell speech, Eisenhower raised the issue of the Cold War and role of the U.S. armed forces. He described the Cold War: "We face a hostile ideology global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose and insidious in method ..."

Eisenhower warned about what he saw as unjustified government spending proposals and continued with a warning that "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex."

In the link above, we see that a kind of criminal situation in Turkey. every year hundreds of thousands of people coming to work in Turkey from a much wider geography from Central Asia. Unfortunately, a significant number of them work illegally. A very simple example, you know our relations with Armenia in frozen, but about 20,000 Armenian citizens working in Turkey , without work permit.

Trying to formulize the ideas of Pan Turanism with such a simple crime and migration problem and making connections between them is an extremely irrational or even manipulative approach.

I appeal to the desire of establish a connection between this issues.

I wouldn't want to keep your page busy, but I couldn't remain silent against this comment. Thank you for understanding.

The link above I ignored, it doesn't related nor matter at all.

Illegal immigration is totally another issue.

Pan-Turkism is a fact, not some imagination.

I would like to see people's response, observe their behavior and mentality.

may I ask why you are here?

Thank for telling me those troll IDs. I knew Tower9 is troll, he is anti-China.

Japan invest a lot on robot to mitigate Aging problem, so far Japan total factor productivity is still growing, it's an amazing achievement.

I am optimistic that robot + AI will reduce a lot of labor intensive jobs.

IMO, the key is move up in the value chain. BRI will promote those countries who can seize the opportunities. And those countries will join in China value chain and get a slice of the cake.

Pay attention to RCEP. Allegedly India has made his mind to join in.

BRI+RCEP+Robot+AI+new industrial revolution, I think China can solve the aging problem.
