@sinowarrior01 @ChongyiF @PhelimKine @LiYuan6 You can't use propaganda to prove propaganda. 5% growth rate is "tanking"? It literally says "because of deflation and a weak currency". So it's only due to low prices (you like high inflation in many other countries?) currency exchange rate. This is why there is PPP GDP
English
@KnowBothSides @ChongyiF @PhelimKine @LiYuan6 Yeah, it's not stagnant, it's tanking

“This has nothing to do with me. It’s like the Cultural Revolution or the ’90s mass layoff of the state-owned enterprises. It’s a historical cycle. It's just our turn. When the Titanic is sinking, all you can do is try to go down with some dignity.” nytimes.com/2026/03/21/bus…
English
@sinowarrior01 @ChongyiF @PhelimKine @LiYuan6 Your own definition of "stagnant" doesn't count. Try harder
English
@KnowBothSides @ChongyiF @PhelimKine @LiYuan6 China is already stagnant precisely because they've refused to embrace democracy
English
@sinowarrior01 @ChongyiF @PhelimKine @LiYuan6 >the next logical step is for them to be a democracy
so that they eventually became stagnant. Nah, China doesn't want to be like India
English
@KnowBothSides @ChongyiF @PhelimKine @LiYuan6 And the next logical step is for them to be a democracy, and that's exactly where China is at right now

@Michaelbro42786 @AngelicaOung >They didn't even have basic autonomy over their own reproductive system
You must be talking abt the US, so stop embarrassing yourself🤡
English
@AngelicaOung Taiwan is FAR FAR better than china in all aspects. China is literally a Orwellian hellhole, the people are treated no different to cattles. They didn't even have basic autonomy over their own reproductive system untill recently, how utterly PITIFUL. Why u so against Taiwan??

Homeless camping outside Taipei main station.
Yes. There’s homeless in Taipei now. Not many, but you NEVER used to see this.
Oh but Taiwan’s GDP is growing so fast!

@AngelicaOung 俄罗斯原子能机构还负责最后废料处理，大部分应该是深埋到西伯利亚无人区了，这一点，对于人口密集的国家来说，非常重要，你不需要担心核废料污染自己国家环境。

Just so that you know…if you need a nuclear power plant and you’re a nuclear newcomer country, better call RosAtom. They offer the whole package from construction to training to fuel. Unbeatable financing.
The Chinese are good builders but new to the game of exporting.
Koreans are decent if you have to go like-minded democracy
I won’t name the others because I’ve been told if you can’t say anything nice you shouldn’t say anything at all!

@aeratis @ahjkljl @AngelicaOung China had reasons for ‘79 war and did not lose, but achieved their goals
English
@ahjkljl @AngelicaOung No. The biggest source of animus isn’t that Vietnam is being revanchist about some 5,000 year old claims, it’s that China literally tried to invade Vietnam in ‘79 and kept a border war going for the next decade after they lost. That’s a lot to come back from but both are trying.
English
@sinowarrior01 @ChongyiF @PhelimKine @LiYuan6 I said "while being a democracy". They went from poor to early industrialization while NOT being a democracy
S K: under military dictatorship
Japan: Emperor Meiji
Taiwan: under martial law dictatorship

@AngelicaOung @goofieguru It's not like China will make them eat the loss🤷♂️. Tbf, you need to be more specific to show your point. I only see "less long-term waste management" as China's con while China does have the 2 IMPORTANT pros of faster build and lower cost.
English
@goofieguru C’mon Rosatom is good. And they are reliable and give you a turnkey price so even if they are late (and they are not late compared to Europeans or Americans) you are not eating the loss.
English
@EmmaLiya4 @Marxistcham @AngelicaOung Tell me more specifically why China is less reliable. If a newcomer can do as well, experience doesn't matter
English
@Marxistcham @AngelicaOung Russia is the most reliable one in this case
And the most experienced one too

@CompleteTuring @AngelicaOung He founded Republic of Turkey in 1923, 2 yrs AFTER CPC was founded. So it's contemporary enough in the sense that CPC already emerged to lead China in the future
English
@KnowBothSides @AngelicaOung At no point was I talking about contemporary China. It's you who got triggered for no reason to jump in CCP's defense for an insult that doesn't exist and reply w/ deranged nonsequiturs.
Perhaps look into the mirror as you are behaving the same way as kneejerk China-bad ppl.

Angelica is going to Istanbul! I'm splurging a little for the non-stop flights from Taipei to Istanbul but I feel like I can justify it because...um the flights would have been thru Dubai and I didn't want the extra excitement.
Istanbul will be excitement enough as it is! I have been yearning to visit Türkiye for at least three years, ever since I fell in love with Ottoman history, which is dramatic, entrancing, but also kind of compact you know. 36 sultans continuous in the House of Osman over 600 years. Very different from the unmanagably shaggy Chinese history...but it's also surprising how the same themes and tropes come up.
Of course...it's not just for the history I'm going for. I'm also going to be checking out Türkiye's magnificent foods! There will be a lot of elite kebabs in my future. And I hear Ottoman-core recreated palace foods is now a thing. And of course, let's not forget...the cats!
But wait! There's more! Actually my trip to Istanbul is just a wrapper for my first-ever visit to the @dalkeybookfest where you will find me on panels on Taiwan, China, nuclear energy and more with luminaries such as @SonyKapoor @ProfPaulBehrens @PerneInAGyre @MkBlyth @janabakunina and @davidmcw!
So any mutuals in Istanbul...is there a favorite baklava place you know where we can have Turkish coffee so thicc it violates physics? Let's meet up! And of course...there's still time to pick up tickets to the Dalkey Book Fest for the true lovers of the printed word, and pints!
June 16-18 Istanbul
Jun 18-22 Dalkey Book Fest!
June 22-25 Istanbul Part Deux

@linsqzr @RepOfSomaliland Yep, so OP is misleading deliberately
English
@KnowBothSides @RepOfSomaliland Since the two countries merged through legal means, the prior recognition was naturally transferred to the newly formed state.
English
🇨🇳The Government of the People’s Republic of China stop the hypocrisy!
In 1960, under Premier Zhou Enlai and Foreign Minister Chen Yi, you recognized the State of Somalilands independence—when the PRC was still fighting for full international recognition.
Here’s the telegram you sent to our leaders.
You needed legitimacy then.
Now you “express grave concern” and oppose Israel 🇮🇱 recognizing Republic of Somaliland.
Same principle. Different standard.
That’s hypocrisy.
CHINA MFA Spokesperson 中国外交部发言人@MFA_China
China expresses grave concern over Israel’s recognition of #Somaliland and is firmly against it. China notes the statement issued immediately by the government of the Federal Republic of Somalia firmly rejecting the move. Regional organizations and countries, including the African Union, the Arab League, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Intergovernmental Authority on Development, have also deplored and strongly condemned the move. According to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, Somaliland is an inalienable part of Somalia’s territory. China firmly supports Somalia’s sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity and opposes any move to split its territory. The issue of Somaliland is entirely Somalia’s internal affair. It should be resolved by the Somali people in a way suited to their national conditions and in line with the constitution. Countries outside the region should stop unwarranted interference. No country should seek selfish interests by aiding and abetting separatism in other countries. We urge the Somaliland authorities to stop at once their separatist activities and collusion with external forces.
English
@CompleteTuring @AngelicaOung You wonder cuz you have this sense of superiority (fuxk it) - "Atatürk was such a great leader that if he had led China, he could have done much better than any Chinese leader and China would have been much better off". I don't see any other reason to put a Turkish leader in CN

January’s conspiracy theory is now March’s New York Times article.
But I’m curious. What happened to their strategic sequencing? Surely it should have been decapitation followed by inciting riots.
My theory which could totally be wrong is the demonstrations were organic at first and they saw an opportunity to piggyback onto it. But a lot of assets got burned and communications cut so they didn’t have resources for round 2.
Aaron Bastani@AaronBastani
Interesting we are already at the point where there’s tacit admission that Mossad have been involved in protests inside Iran. Grievances have been very real, of course, but this coheres with accounts of starlink units and firearms coming into the country via Israel.

@RickJoe_PLA @AlexLuck9 Only bc Japan starts their re-militarization dream; otherwise they can just sit out Taiwan war like the US will do and everything will be fine

@AlexLuck9 Tbf out of all of them, Japan faces arguably the most pressing air challenge by a longshot. The others can afford to dillydally a bit.

@denisewu @DAlperovitch Ships can simply go around Taiwan island in the big Pacific. No big deal
English
@DAlperovitch Lots of land mind and offense missile will definitely shut dow the Taiwan Strait x.com/denisewu/statu…
Denise Wu@denisewu
The Strait of Hormuz, about 21-30 miles (33-50 km) long, primarily serves as an oil transit route. The Strait of Taiwan, about 112 miles (180 km) long, is a major artery connecting East and South Asia. The shipping chaos we’re seeing in the past three weeks from the Strait of Hormuz will be nothing compared to if the Strait of Taiwan is close.
English
Taiwan needs to be taking careful notes right now about how relatively easy it is to shut down a small waterway vital to the commerce of an adversary that desires to attack you, and to gain great leverage while doing so…
English
@GlennLuk @PAstynome Today's China fits the definition of KMT founder Sun Yat-sen's 三民主義Three Principles of the People👇 while KMT has betrayed him by adopting western democracy
English
@PAstynome Agree it wasn’t ideological difference, but a competence/capability one…
English
The KMT’s vision was a vision that was supported by all Chinese people in the past (make China strong and resist foreign interference). That they share this with the CPC means absolutely nothing since any sane Chinese person would have those views. They were unable to execute it.
Jason Dean@_Jason_Dean_
One level of cope is believing that Taiwan has a snowball’s chance in hell of resisting reunification The deeper (more truthful) level of cope is recognizing that the modern day CCP is closer to the KMT in terms of ideology, so Chiang wins either way
English
@AngelicaOung Americans are so brainwashed that they still want their cake and eat it too🤷♂️
English
It’s hilarious if true that Americans thought Iran would go down in any way shape or form like Iran.
Saddam’s Iraq was a one-man show where he had a habit of executing ppl who bought him bad news and was so afraid of coups he kept branches of his armies from talking to each other.
Apparently even when the Americans were hours away from rolling in on Bagdad he was still directing ghost divisions that’s been long out of action.
It’s possible also that since he was our guy for such a long time he didn’t think we were really out to get him.
In Iran the ayatollah was a 86-year old man waiting for the bell to ring and we’ve already done so many decapitation of their leaders in the IRGC before they’ve explicitly decentralized command.
Aaron Bastani@AaronBastani
It does increasingly feel like large numbers of people in US, Europe and Israel just presumed Iran would roll over because they are a brown Muslim country. A domestic industrial base? No way. Can’t be overstated how much people’s biases were shaped by how stupid this man was.
