In this case they have to import labor from other parts of China, if not allow limited numbers of migrant workers.

Am I in r/sino?

Eradicating one culture deemed medieval and feudalistic and replacing it with a ethnosupremacist form of feudalist capitalism disguised in a pseudo-Maoist wrapper… Standard fare in the Pooh World where what the Hans are doing is “liberation”. Not only that, the Tibetan plateau is like a smorgasbord for Mainlander corporations looking for rare-earth resources, so there comes the program of forced assimilation which is no more different from banishing all Palestinians from their lands.

(BTW, Israel sold to China some several key technologies, including early-warning radar.)

It’s also possible he’s just running out of troops

Disturbingly some of his female fanatics – including those in the Sakhalin islands – are still convinced he’s doing a swell job.

I also fear that he could possibly use something worse just to win.

Man simply got rich on the platform he helped created. Hardly recall any instance he asked for more.

I’m not a fan of him, but other tech billionaires have been engaged in publicly shaming or calling for vendettas against anyone angering them. Or indulging in shameless shows of wealth. Or simping for cruel politicians in exchange for asshole policies favoring white Christian males – and enormous tax breaks. Or aiming to destroy anyone opposing them by using information stolen from the masses.

One hegemony replaced by another.

Great news for Tsar Vlad.

[For reference, the far more popular drug alcohol is the 3rd highest with under 100k deaths]

Yet accidents or acts of violence while under the influence, involving other people and getting them killed needlessly.

I’m saying so because I was a victim of violence related to alcohol abuse.

How I wish there was a proper standardization of formulation and safe limits, because some of the vape juice I’ve seen are mostly made in-house and often included unwanted unlisted additives and ingredients.

Fuck kahanism and zionism

Horrifying but not surprising given heavy-handed conservatism the island is known for, as conviction rates are much high, the government will keep order at the pleasure of their prime minister.

William Gibson wrote that Wired article years ago in his brief visit to Singapore.

It’s too easy to subscribe to the idea the Middle Kingdom has all the aces in its sleeves, as it appears to have learned from the failures of its rivals, but I’m not deceived by all that glitters in Shanghai and Beijing. Notably the disturbing wealth disparity, an ironclad surveillance regime (which Thiel is envious of), and disillusionment and anger among some of the urban Chinese young against an exploitative work culture corroding them to the core.

If that Idi Amin right now does more, country should be renamed El Matador.

Those single-issue voters with the fuck-you-got-mine mindset.

This just makes Putin all too happy, because they’re running dogs.
