You literally overthrew a democratically elected government in coup in 2014 and put in a client regime that’s currently using press gangs to kidnap people off the street and send them to die. Your senator by the name of Lindsey Graham recently quipped how this war was the best money your regime ever spent. Get your emprie bs out of here.

I definitely don’t find it easy, but it is doable. The writing is the really hard part for me. If I actually did move to China, I want to be able to communicate with people fluently.

LMFAO mofo unironically links to US propaganda site 😂

Again, this is the most surreal conversation I’ve had in a while. Plenty of people discuss politics nowadays and China in particular given that it acts as the main counter to US led world order. You can go to Lemmygrad and see plenty of people discussing China all the time, I assure you we’re not getting paid for it.

The reason I personally feel strongly about the subject is because I grew up in USSR, and saw my country destroyed through liberalism and western intervention. I personally suffered living through the collapse, and when my family moved to the west I was frankly shocked to see the insane things people believed about USSR here. I see a lot of the same smears being used against China today, and this is a personal subject for me.

I have friends from China, I have a pretty good idea of what life there is actually like. China is by no means perfect, but it’s nothing like what western media paints it and what people living in the west believe about it.

Finally, I certainly would like to move to China at some point. However, it’s not easy to just uproot yourself and move half way across the world. I have friends and family where I live, people depend on me. I can’t just up and move no matter how much I’d like to. Also, even learning the language is a challenge. I’ve been studying Mandarin for over a year now, and I’m just becoming minimally conversational in it.

I love how you’re just doing a low key smear on me here, and you probably think you’re being really clever in the process. It’s kind of adorable really.

Obviously Korea is just a small part of the bigger picture. US built a whole global empire that profits from exploiting labour and resources of the countries US subjugates. This empire is starting to unravel now though, so there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Wow, you should really hook me up with that job. Didn’t know people got paid to post on Lemmy, seems like I’m missing out.

yogthos , 1 year ago to worldnews in The US flies nuclear-capable bombers in a fresh show of force against North Korea

I mean there is a path towards peace. That path involves US quitting playing world police and minding its own business. This isn’t a both sides problem. US came half way across the world to wage war on Korea. US is entirely the party at fault here.

thank you for your psychoanalysis

yogthos , 1 year ago to worldnews in The US flies nuclear-capable bombers in a fresh show of force against North Korea

Really can’t imagine why DPRK would have Kill All Americans rallies when US keeps flying nuclear bombers next to them and trying to starve them economically while propping up a hostile regime in the south. It’s a total mystery really.

Right, pretty much all the basic research is publicly funded everywhere because it’s the only way it can work. Of course, thanks to decades of brainwashing, a lot of people in the west now think that real innovation comes from the private sector.

I think another aspect we can look at is the type of technological we see happening in the west with it being mostly around software, and frivolous things like ChatGPT. Meanwhile, in China, a lot of the technological development is very practical like bullet trains, nuclear power, and so on. It’s just another example of how state directed research ends up producing more meaningful results than the private sector.

And yeah sure, send a link that sounds like a fun read.

This is a great example of how real progress happens outside capitalist relations. Developing something genuinely new takes a lot of false starts, and it’s hard to predict when it’s going to become profitable. No capitalist wants to invest money into an idea indefinitely without knowing whether they’re going to get a return on it. This can only be done at state level when technological advancement is pursued outside the profit motive.

Imagine taking the time to write this comment.

yogthos OP , 1 year ago to worldnews in China generates 99.9% pure 'green hydrogen' as world's largest H2 producer

No, I don’t work at state media, and it’s pretty weird to assume that anybody who sees China favorably must work at Chinese state media to be honest.

Calling whataboutism is a logical fallacy used to justify having different standards for yourself and your adversaries. Anybody using whataboutism in place of an actual can be safely dismissed as a troll. Meanwhile, western media is certainly no less biased than CGTN and has been caught lying about China repeatedly.
