Six of the Ten most visited museums in the world are in China.
Of those, China dominates the top three spots.
Been to the Palace Museum in Beijing yet?

@Biyombonesaw Or in the case of American diasporites, mad because their uncle's fourth speculative apartment purchase can't be rent or sold for as much profit as they'd like. Again, scum.

Everyone I know who complains about Xi is either a Chinese liberal with a well off family, or a white person who is spouting talking points from a Chinese liberal with a well off family. It's like getting opinions on Mao or Stalin from landowners
Jostein Hauge@haugejostein
This is one of the most off-target criticisms of Xi I can think of. Xi is actually more popular among working class people and those in rural areas than urban elites. This is because of his heavy focus on poverty alleviation, rural development, and reining in the wealthy.

西方对中国最愤怒是中国把他们躺赚了几十年的暴利生意，一个个砸成了普通人都买得起的日用品。
这种愤怒已经刻进了很多西方人的骨子里，他们不是不理解，而是不愿意理解，不愿意接受自己再也不能躺着剥削全世界的事实。
二十年前，中国修地铁要用盾构机，全部从德国进口。一台盾构机德国卖3.5亿人民币，一分钱都不能少。买的时候还要签霸王条款，机器坏了只能找德国工程师来修。
德国工程师来中国一天的工资是3000欧元，换算成人民币当时是3万多。他们坐飞机必须坐头等舱，住必须是五星级酒店的总统套房。
维修的时候中国人不能在旁边看，必须全部离场，修完了直接开账单，换一个小小的密封圈就要10万人民币。
有时候机器出个小故障，要等德国工程师三个月才能来，整个工地几百人就只能闲着干等，每天损失几百万。
没有人觉得这有什么不对。全世界都默认，高科技就应该卖这么贵，德国人掌握了技术，他们就有资格赚这个钱。甚至放言给中国图纸也造不出盾构机。
但到2008年，中国第一台拥有自主知识产权的盾构机下线。当时德国人根本不在乎，他们觉得中国人造出来的肯定是垃圾，用不了几天就会坏。
结果中国盾构机不仅能用，而且价格直接开到了5000万一台。后来随着技术不断成熟，产量不断提高，现在一台国产盾构机只要2000多万人民币，价格只有原来德国的十七分之一。
德国盾构机的垄断神话一夜之间破灭了。原来全世界只有德国、日本、美国少数几个国家能造盾构机，他们联合起来维持高价，想卖多少钱就卖多少钱。
现在中国加入了，他们的价格体系彻底崩溃了。现在德国盾构机想卖出去，价格也只能降到和中国差不多的水平，再也不能躺着赚暴利了。
而这样的事在各个领域都不断的上演，套用足球解说的一句话，留给西方垄断的时间不多了。

China is defeating the west so comprehensively that this is the kind of bizarre cope Amerifats have been reduced to.

I don't mean to be insensitive to the Chinese but their naming conventions are ridiculous and I can't keep Chinese people straight from name alone in the way I can literally any other nationality. They need to invent more distinct names.

The worst “coffee” I've had in my life.
It's not even from a machine, or freshly brewed, and it set me back 48 yuan (US$7).
That's daylight robbery.

It’s not a “Uyghur internment camp” but a camel milk farm with a tourism complex to let visitors experience Xinjiang’s camel culture. People go there all the time! You can look them up on Chinese social media. Sadly, this image has also been posted by The @Guardian.

@IAmDouglasKim I did my fair share of trying to persuade people, change things, etc., but ultimately the US is nowhere near ceasing its evils, nowhere near developing a citizenry that doesn't love child-killing imperialism. After talking to my 10,000th grotesque liberal freak I had enough

@IAmDouglasKim Highly recommend moving to China and totally giving up on the despicably evil US

@MikeA866964983 @johnshreffler0 Do they have tons of meat left? They're scraping the barrel at this point, literally grabbing disabled 48 year olds off the street. The only mild relief would be western nations forcing home all able-bodied Ukrainian men, and even that would just delay the inevitable
English
@johnshreffler0 I do not see how Russia brings the war to a conclusion without hitting the entire leadership of Ukraine. Ukraine still has tons of meat they can throw at the front.
English
Generally there’s a call and response aspect to military innovations. The Luftwaffe uses a beam guidance system and the RAF learns how to jam it. The machine gun makes for a protracted trench war stalemate and the tank overcomes it.
I’m expecting that the Ukrainian Drone Wall will be countered by the Russians but am not technically aware enough to predict how. The Ukrainian front lines are so depleted of manpower that Russian DRGs were penetrating and hunting down Ukrainian drone operators and the Ukrainians countered with truck mounted company sized fire brigades. Waiting to see what happens next. The Russians are very quick to adapt and probably have something up their sleeve.

“So the question is whether the drone revolution can overturn the attrition math to push it forward or even reverse it. Can it move the needle very much? In order to answer this question, we need to model both [drone and attrition] simultaneously.” 1/2

@BrianMcDonaldIE Let's all have a hearty laugh about Britain's massively failed Kursk incursion. What a bunch of delusional, utterly irrelevant clowns striking out with their last gasp

Russian journalist Dmitry Drize writes that a new phrase is entering circulation in Moscow political commentary: “Global London,” the idea that Britain is trying to restore its old leading role in world affairs, including over Ukraine.
Drize is sceptical, however, pointing to Britain’s failed attempts to crack down on Russia’s “shadow tanker fleet” and what he describes as the underwhelming results of recent UK operations in the Middle East.
As for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Drize quips that he already appears “effectively resigned.”
“If Admiral Nelson, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher and others are watching this ‘Global London’ from above,” he writes, “it’s not difficult to imagine their emotions.”
