“Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will”
They are winning when it comes to business relations, cultural exchanges, and general diplomacy, but Western 
are a whole different ballpark.
That social sphere is completely dominated by socially isolated Chuds who get most of their info from far-right echo chambers online or their already reactionary (usually rich) families. A quick look at HD2 Steam forums and you have all the usual “ebil CCP brainwashed bots!!!” spam.
The German Chancellor of all world leaders not understanding the goal of genocide, leading a country that prides itself on being the biggest understanders of genocidal dictators because “we did it before, so we know it best”, is just pure schadenfreude.
Comrade, I have two questions for you:
Firstly, is there any party position or justification for allowing the ‘996’ work schedule to still exist, or why they don’t mandate lower working hours/ more time off? Surely with the absolutely huge labour force China has, and the fact that many Chinese workers have higher education qualifications now AND the fact that the they have a major youth unemployment issue because companies are incredibly selective and encourage severe competition in the labour market, the easiest solution for the party is to just lower working hours and outlaw ‘996’ regimens, which will encourage companies to hire more workers to fill the gaps in labour hours lost?
Secondly, does the 48 hour work week also exist in the public sector, or is it mainly limited to the private sector? Also does working for the Chinese public sector grant you additional benefits in the form of extra leave, more overtime pay, free public services etc?
And this point Trump should just bring back the gold standard to precipitate another Great Depression.
We’re going to have a problem if you lay a finger on us politicians, but if you put your hands on the immigrants that voted for us, hey no problemo!
Ah, so called “socialists” collaborating with the ruling capitalist party in the hopes of pushing them towards socialism, a tale as old as time.
In case y’all missed it, the (real) Xiaohongshu wrote a very lengthy but well detailed explanation about why it was in China’s interest to reduce tariffs quickly:
I think Francis being the first Pope to come from a Global South country (especially one that was once under a far-right military dictatorship) really opened his eyes and made him sympathetic to the suffering of the international proletariat, at least more than his predecessors who were all White Euros. Leo did spend a lot of time in Peru but is still ultimately a Yankee, so I don’t expect much from him.
Yeah sorry, this isn’t any different to the standard ‘anti-war’ Western liberal who wants a ceasefire but refuses to do anything about the actual problem (Israel).
Welcome back, Comrade Yellow Snow.
American Ides of March but it’s Trump choking on a burger while the Congress just stands around him watching.
College of Cardinals: You best start believing in American decline. You’re in one!
Patriots in control, trust the plan!
But in seriousness, what can we expect from this Pope politically? Western media says he’s a “moderate” but that could mean anything from a bourgeois perspective. I also learned he was made Cardinal just last year which is curious.
Prequels: German Confederacy becoming German Empire
Original trilogy: German Empire during WW1
Sequels: Weimar Republic allowing Nazi Germany to form
Real Weimar Republic hours rn
They’re also 100% on board with starting a war with China because they continue to engage with AUKUS (a US-led Anglo military alliance) and other US client states in Asia to encircle China. And they also continue funding Neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
Kinda makes me wonder if Buffett’s saying this to protect his own personal investments which are being threatened by the tariffs, or if he has some idea in mind as to how to do US imperialism better.
Also very typical liberal double standards to say the US shouldn’t weaponize trade when he was fine with Afghanistan and Russia being sanctioned under Biden, or any other country slapped with pre-existing sanctions decades before Trump.
Makes a lot more sense now why the CIA was openly advertising for Chinese informants lmao
In regard to HD2, it’s hilarious that the “not political” crowd on the one hand makes this argument that they don’t like “current political issues” in video games/ media and on the other hand are currently going on racist Sinophobic tirades on social media about Chinese players holding the equivalent of Shanghai in-game atm better than any other Mega city on Super Earth because “they’re brainwashed CCP propagandists who don’t think like us superior free thinking whites”.
