@pplsartofwar Those “basic advice” was never followed in recent leadership of the US btw.

Problem is a lot of western people read the Art of War. But never read the commentary around it, context, or history related to it. Then demands it reads like the 48 Laws of Power.
Then wonder why Asians see it as a classic. And frequently tie it to history.

@adamjohnsonCHI He’s calling it elementary but did his leadership followed any of that “basic advice” in the recent war with Iran? Do not overestimate yourself(which ironically is also in the book)lmao.

@dissidentwest Maybe they always care more about their citizens than the US since the people’s republic?

You know it’s bad when China cares more about its citizens than the United States government care about its citizens.

@SecondRingSZN And look the comments can't even admit it because Vietnam never taught them. Then makes a 180 and accuse China for being imperialist. And when you mention it they will cancel you for this. Boarderline white people behavior.

@RnaudBertrand That entire post is just western copium concentration smh, no point in arguing if their point is set.

This is egregiously wrong: the notion that China can't do metallurgy, or build power generation turbines or jet engines is insane.
For one thing even American officials recognize that the Chinese are now likely ahead in fighter jet technology with their latest 6th gen J-36 (breakingdefense.com/2025/01/china-…).
As for power generation turbines they just started mass producing a 300MW F-class heavy duty gas turbine with a 98% localization rate (seetaoe.com/details/258782…), which means they're completely independent in this regard.
How does such obvious fake stuff get 1.4 million views with no community notes when it's so easy to debunk? The magic of Twitter 🤦♂️

You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.

@evilwomenloverr @KeremJanberk Another Twitter conversation smh… I never said it is not ready, also fun fact you need time to establish a new brand in another club. If anything the Europeans aren’t ready bud. End of the line man.

@JsonDll @KeremJanberk Then why did you believe it’s so much more advanced than western brands if it’s not ready yet.

Seeing odd opinions from supposed gun enthusiasts on 191 (we still see keyholing cited unironically these days) is rather demoralising.
It's like being a modern milaviation enthusiast and being out of date on J-20; it's just too significant to excuse ignorance on.

@itskyleconner 1. The last two pic is a bad example as zeeker and Denza have their own style
2. The gov is regulating these practices as it creates over competition
3. This is just preferences in different country at this point, plus new sporty cars are coming. Zeeker 8x, Denza Z, Linko GT etc

I’ve shared a lot of cool and positive things about the cars in China over the last few days but there are many downsides too!
1. No brand identity across MANY brands. There are 10+ complete car companies that all build a version of the exact same product portfolio, with small styling tweaks, similar software etc. How would a customer choose one over the other? They all follow the same formula
2. Pricing is unrealistic and not sustainable. The big brands will keep pushing pricing lower to squeeze out the ones that can’t hold on. At some point pricing will have to raise and stabilize to a reasonable level. For consumers though, this is great right now.
3. Driving dynamics - while this show was mostly touring static displays, I drove and rode in a few cars and even the expensive top spec stuff is not matching the ride quality, powertrain calibration, and sorted character we are used to from a western vehicle
I’m sure there are more, it’s exciting to see all of the new offerings and rate of development of new vehicles, but moving so fast and everyone making essentially the same thing dilutes the whole market.

@alreadydawn 这很正常，因为CPC是一个大党，有效的吸收了中国社会上大部分的人才，而且近年来非常成功，导致反贼或者边缘人士越来越拉垮，就会造成中文推上都是神人的现象，最近经典案例就是推上的中文圈反贼被老外群嘲

TLDR:
Even within China, negative opinion of the CCP is correlated with being a weak lil bitch while positive opinion of the CCP is correlated with being a Gigachad.
