You need to divide the development by the population size. China’s GDP PPP per capita is still below that of Mexico. In order to be on par with the US, China still needs to grow 4x.

Also, while the eastern, coastal regions of China are very developed, the western regions are not.

They’re not made by Motorola (which is Chinese). They were made by Gold Apollo (which is Taiwanese).

This was a really hard lesson for Hezbollah to learn to always buy shit from certified anti-imperialist sources and not from fake China. China should airlift Huawei devices to Hezbollah to replace them.

On the other hand, the Axis of Resistance has never had a better excuse to annihilate Israel in response.

This is a much more severe, successful repeat of what the US tried to pull against Lula in Brazil, with Bolsonaro as puppet. The new, US-backed president of Ecuador is now trying to change the constitution to allow US military bases in the country.

It seems that in reaction to the Latin American pink tide in the 2000s, the US pretty much backed and funded the entire conservative wave afterwards.

For more info on how this relates to similar events in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and elsewhere, BadEmpanada made a good recap here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrvEha9C_Js

I’m pretty sure killing the Russian president (and likely his cabinet, which would always be nearby) is plenty of justification for nuclear war.

I’m sure if Russia bombed the White House and the president, nukes wound start flying immediately.

She went to Harvard from 2010-2014, which was still in the honeymoon period after China joined the WTO, and when the US still thought it could make China capitalist, so was open to exchange.

Firstly, the best way to know your enemy is to study them from the inside. Several Chinese dynasties collapsed from invasion due to being too insular and not learning from the rest of the world. Heck, China’s Century of Humiliation was due to exactly this, because it didn’t learn and adopt modern industrial and military technologies. I grew up watching documentaries stressing this point, showing how Qing dynasty soldiers tried using crossbows against British guns. By sending his daughter to Harvard, Xi gets inside knowledge on the US elite and the educational practices which make US universities the ‘best in the world’.

Second, doing so shields her from the papparazi in China. You cannot expect teachers in China to treat the daughter of the president without bias. Chinese professors would always worry about giving her bad grades out of fear of government reprisal. This would give her a false experience of the world. Chinese socialism has always stressed the importance of going “down to the people”, experiencing their lives and problems. By going to Harvard anonymously, Xi’s daughter gets an accurate student experience while also learning other useful info.

If Xi had another child today, I don’t think he would send them to a US school. There is not much more China needs to learn from the US, and the US isn’t as amicable as before to giving China said info. Perhaps Xi would instead have them tour the Global South to learn about the most pressing issues China can fix there.

I think Huawei’s talking about their new triple-folding phone, the Mate XT. The phone unfolds like a z-fold brochure from a regular phone into an iPad.

This triple folding finally lets folding phones match real tablet sizes, which might make them finally an attractive option for consumers who want to merge their phone and iPad into one.

At this point, Palestine has the right to nuke Israel if they could. Equivalent retaliation for the bombs.

China’s rail actually makes money and is paying off their debts! What will all the Westoid collapse narratives say this time?

US physicians like the for-profit insurance system because they are paid 2x or more than in single payer systems. For example, I know Canadian physicians who doubled their pay upon moving to the USA. It is a bribe by insurance companies for doctors to be apathetic towards capitalist suffering.

Here is the context video on his main channel for why he’s frustrated at Hasanabi for not being more hardline on Palestine: https://youtube.com/watch?v=WSd-blcw6YI
