    People get all sketchy when you say "China". I've started to say CCP when it comes to a lot of things.

    For instance: "China is full of nice people that cook great food and make excellent cell phones. The CCP on the other hand is a complete piece of shit."

    At the end of the day, its the people going along with it that allows the CCP to continue being shitty.

    Why separate it?

    Conspiracy theory: China already broke the code of the matrix with the 70-bit Quantum computer.
    Trumps' signature is fraud by design.

    Luckily for everyone the CCP can't keep all billion of those nice people down and take over the world at the same time.

    I read up on Chinese history a bit at the beginning of COVID and it blows my mind how they've taken over the world in such a short time. It is a little scary though to see how this will all unfold.

    When the USA detained Meng, Huawei was basically beating Apple in marketshare of mobile computer chipsets. Ads were running between NHL games. Now, they have decided to shut down their chipset division entirely. And now: Meng is free.

    So the USA did win one, by Shanghai. Pirate in me is thinking the USA is literally just a bunch of Epsteins, don't know if thats news to anyone.

    It's always slightly satisfying to see price controls and a centrally planned economy do what they have always done: learn all about the law of unintended consequences.

    Did the CCP think they were smarter than the multitude of other dimwits that thought a bunch of gov't bureaucrats could do a better job than free markets?

    CCP doesn't just think it's smarter, it KNOWS it's smarter.

    No, but like to appear like they do. It's all about saving face. Saving face is why China will always suck.

    Because people who doesn't tolerate that shit is either not in China or in vocational training camps. It's not a democracy.

    The amount of ultra nationalists is same as every country. If everyone is pro CCP, they don't need propaganda films to promote the party.

    the Chinese people are a victim of propaganda and an awkward combination of an inferiority complex and superiority complex (neither of which are justified).

    They (CCP and some Chinese people) love to use how they were fucked by the west in Qing dynasty and Japan in WW2 to justify anything they are doing today.

    Japan is guilty of this to a degree if you watch any of their "documentary" around WW2.

    Most people don't care, they just want to make a living and lived their lives.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it part of the central identify of the Chinese (maybe I should say Han Chinese?), that they are the rightful centre of the universe?

    No worse than typical Torontonian identity.

    I find all countries shared the "they are center of universe" mentality to a degree. Just worse with wealthier Asian countries.

    And Japan just started to break out of that but it took 2+ decades of stagflation to humble them.
