    Guess they shouldn't have thrown all the baby girls in a ditch and buried the piles.

    I’m certain that somehow it will be the United States’ fault that their missies are fueled with water

    Saw a vid on likely corruption with their new carriers. I mean, they're supposedly "training" carriers, but not confidence inducing in a real fight and prob can't stay off port for longer than 2 weeks.

    Any big confrontation will likely rely on long range missiles to damage our existing assets on an initial strike. But if they're fueled with water, that might be bad news for the wolf warriors lol.

    Tofu dreg for buildings, and construction material/wood filler for their food...Everyone getting theirs at the others expense.

    Isn't "Chinese Economy" the Guns'N'Roses album Axl has promised for the past 15 years?

    One of the things why Xi Jinping came to power was to fight corruption and early inhe ws seen as a reformer who would take on graft.

    Promise to tackle a real and important issue for people. Once in power, become the corrupter. Repeat.

    Here in the US, the "deep state" is a real and important issue for some people. And they are willing to ignore the constitution and laws in order to put that one guy back in power who promised to tackle it. Same old behavior.

    If the upper echelons are corrupt quasi billionaires, then "fighting corruption" is optics for good ol purges.

    Western critics claim his voice is absolute and that he's eliminated dissent and independent thought from everyone else. He might as well hole himself up inside the Forbidden City with a cohort of eunichs to meddle with the peons,
