That's literally the crux of storytelling since the beginning of time.

Jiang Xueqin is anything but a "CCP agent": the guy was literally arrested and deported from China in 2002 after being accused of spying on behalf of the West (edition.cnn.com/2017/11/23/opi…, although he later came back). As far as I can tell, in China he's largely seen as a Western guy. He is in fact Canadian, not Chinese, and teaches - in English - at a school called "Moonshot Academy" in Beijing, which is a liberal Western oriented private school for rich kids, the very opposite of a communist party posting. Lastly I don't think his takes are popular at all in China, his entire audience is based on English-language Western platforms, and his theories would sound utterly bewildering to anyone in China, let alone Communist/Marxist folks. "CCP propaganda" doesn't have talking points on Freemasons, Jesuits, Illuminati, or whatever he's saying: these theories are typically Western, been hearing them in France since I was born...


chess at higher and higher levels are so ego-filled, i encounter players on the daily who refuse to resign in dead lost positions and just leave the game to waste your time
