China ChiCom News Thread

[TheRejectionist]

Unfortunately not. That's how Communists thin the herd to maintain power.

@The Whispering Monk I was speaking on Chinese history more or less, not Communist China. This sort of things used to happen a lot. We starve and/or are miserable? We revolt.

Well china defiantly has the miserable part down, because of controlling buracrats who interject themselves into peoples private lives but pretty much every country is dealing with that right now with out revolts.

They can't do that now and we helped the CCP build the mass surveillance that keeps them in power.

I don't think it will matter when shit goes down.

I hope so.

Here's an amusing view on China's propaganda and how it really is there.

Little Red Classrooms - Parents Defending Education

China's Infiltration of American K-12 Schools

Looks like the report on so-called ChiCom backed 'Confucius Classrooms' by 'Parents Defending Education' reached Lawmakers in US Congress.

Lawmakers blast Chinese Communist Party's influence on American classrooms

House lawmakers held a hearing to investigate the Chinese Communist Party’s alleged efforts to influence American classrooms.

One of those who testified was Ryan Walters, the State Superintendent of Public Education in Oklahoma.

Ryan Walters, state superintendent of public instruction at the Oklahoma State Department of Education, had one of his schools mentioned in the report and testified at the hearing.

"Following the discovery that one of our school districts in Oklahoma, Tulsa Public Schools, was named in that report, my staff diligently conducted a further investigation into the issue and discovered a disturbing connection between the CCP and that school district," Walters said in his testimony. "Through a series of non-profits, that school district maintains an active connection with the CCP through a program called Confucius Classrooms, even after the federal government cracked down on similar programs in 2020."

Walters advocated for banning this kind of funding.

"With whatever common sense remains, I urge that Congress pass a law to ban schools from accepting money from hostile foreign governments and prohibit data sharing agreements with hostile foreign governments," he said in his testimony. "At the state level, state education agencies should require districts to report foreign money they accept and non-profit money they accept."

And also remember the entire CCP Military arsenal is also made in China. And more corners were cut on it.

We wont know how shit they are until we have an actual war just like with russia.

I reckon China has a touch too much money to fuck up quite as badly as Russia did. That and the Chinese Communist Party of all things is a tad less corrupt than Putin’s circle.

Their status of troop training, corruption and organization is under an even bigger question mark than Russia's was.
But in terms of equipment, they certainly have a far better funding and industrial base than Russia ever had in last half century. As in they not only can make all their stuff, they can make new stuff and quite a lot of it even.

More. Much more corrupt. Anti-corruption campaigns are code words for factional infighting and getting rid of rivals. The CCP make the Sith Empire's intrigue and corruption look like amateur hour.

Russia's is actually less corrupt as a whole than China. Or at least much more open with their corruption. Chinese as a whole have the concept of Face. Which to them is more important than anything. It supersedes such trivial concepts as morality, social contracts and laws. The CCP are just much more competent at hiding their corruption. To Outsiders. Have to keep that foreign money coming in after all or the entire pyramid scheme collapses.

Indeed.There was old invention of chineese beaurocrats - desk with special drawer for bribes,so they would not mistake state money with their own personal honestly earned bribes.

 

[Typhonis]

I wonder if the Chinese did what the Ferengi in DS9 did and declared bribes are tax deductions ?

They are actually worst than Russia. There are leaks in the CCP Military of equipment having extreme quality issues and defects. Because just like Russia they have corruption. But unlike Russia they also have a more extreme face culture that is causing them to fake strength in areas they don't have strength. Too many people in the west are getting taking in by CCP propaganda to see they are being tricked.

That video they released showing their new guns keyholing at like 20 feet sticks pretty strongly in my memory.

 

[Lord Sovereign]

To reiterate an earlier point, China has got too much bloody money to do as badly as Russia. They have a vast industrial base and manpower pool, they can reliably produce their own kit in serious numbers, and after a while quantity can become a quality all of its own.

Not a foe to be underestimated. The Chinese soldier is the inferior of the American soldier, but he outnumbers him some two to one.

But,thanks to one child policy,those soldiers are dudes who are only hope of their parents for safety.They would not throw themselves at enemy like chineese in 1953 Korea.but try to survive for their parents.

Becouse if they die,their parents die,too from lack of help.

They did the same with their EVs and Buildings. And that vast amount of created stuff all shit the bed in pretty good order after minimal use.

Numbers dint matter if the equipment is inferior.
