Starting a thread of documentaries, shows, movies, & other media to get a better, more holistic understanding of China, its history, & China-US relations. Ok let’s go:

What Chinese are experiencing on xhs seems on par w what happens in my chinese lessons every week. We haven't gotten any further in my textbook bc every lesson my teacher learns something horrifying about the US. This week it was the CA wildfire using prisoners to fight fires and

Queer Koreans who attended KEEP & visited DPRK told their tour guides about their queer identities. The guides' response? "Oh, we don't really have this vocabulary, tell us the proper names & we will study it." In successive years' trips the guides all knew queer terminology.

No, Chinese are just very pragmatic, and recognize their country still has many issues and obstacles to overcome. Most people I've talked to are not willing to proselytize their own govt system onto others and recognize every state needs its own solution.

Taiwan is really giving super VIP treatment to Japan's late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's widow, Akie Abe (安倍昭惠).
TW's Presidential Office is doing a live broadcast of Madame Abe's meeting w. President Tsai. Yesterday, TW raised a statue of Abe in 高雄.

People continuing to believe China doesn’t hold popular elections is one of the most fundamental myths that I really hope we can break through. Not only do they hold elections, but the people elected to the legislative body are exemplars in service to their local community.

What's funny about this particular example is that Chinese doesn't have gendered pronouns 🤣 what we DO have is a rich history of gender fluidity/queer relationships within traditional theatre, poetry, stories, and even a god dedicated to male-male relationships (Tu'er shen).
I urge all the commie shills to move to China and demand that the PLA respect your pronouns.
Report back to us how that goes.

I’ll never forget learning that French soldiers targeted boys & men of a certain Viet ethnic minority for r*pe & sexual assault, bc they were so terrified of the women, who colored their teeth black (a sign of beauty at the time)
Saw this monstrosity on tiktok of an Indonesian gay man romanticising Dutch colonisation. Westernised Asians need to be reigned in and controlled immediately. Its even more embarrassing since he's Indonesian like me.

idealistic role as global savior or worldwide protector of the weak is as unfounded as it is infantile and idealistic. Better to cast your aspirations elsewhere. Projecting disapproval onto China has about as much impact as tweeting "death to Amerika," geopolitically speaking.

While it's absolutely true that the Chinese education as a whole is highly competitive and harsh, this seems a bit like confirmation bias and deeply skewed towards the tier 1 cities. When I was in Yangshuo (pop: < 400k) I talked w HS kids who wanted to stay local and enjoy a
I’ve been spending more time on Xiaohongshu lately, and it’s reminded me just how deeply broken the Chinese education system is (a huge reason why people try to leave the country as well). It’s not just high-pressure … it’s an all-consuming circus, where everyone knows they’re miserable but feels trapped in the performance. That’s why I thought the 2021 ban on for-profit tutoring was a good idea and still do, in principle although not in execution. At the time, people were outraged. I had friends who lost their businesses overnight, and that pain was real. But the truth is, the system had become unbearable, and something drastic needed to happen.
The pressure starts absurdly early. My friend showed me an elite Shanghai preschool worksheet with milestone targets starting at 18 months, to help parents judge if their baby was a “fit.” By primary school, it’s normal for kids to have hours of tutoring, plus homework, with no real free time. Parents, especially moms, often quit their jobs to manage this, only to be blamed by teachers whose own bonuses depend on how well their students perform. It’s a chain of pressure - teachers to parents, parents to kids - and it fractures entire families. Kids burn out & some become suicidal. Moms are anxious and exhausted. Dads, if involved, try to help, but often just add fuel to the fire.
This is not rare. It’s the default. And it’s no wonder that so many young people are walking away from marriage and parenthood altogether. They’ve seen the cost, and they don’t want to pay it.
So yes, banning tutoring came from a good place. But without removing teacher incentives tied to scores, changing hiring practices, or broadening definitions of success, the pressure just moves elsewhere, or emerges underground lol.
There’s one sociology professor I follow who actually seems to get it. But she’s an outlier. Most people are still too deep inside to see just how much damage is being done.

Yet not only have the military bases not been closed, they’ve expanded.
Ppl love using the freedom of protest as a barometer for democracy but what about when no changes result from decades of protesting?
Japanese Imperialists sacrificed nearly half of Okinawan population to face the American onslaught in the Battle of Okinawa
Today Japanese and American Imperialists continue to place Okinawans in harm's way by placing US military base there. Majority of Okinawans want US military out.

I will say my experience with China's malls made me realize I don't hate malls, just American malls. China's malls are an experience, super accessible by public transport, often filled with open spaces or with sections that open out to a courtyard.
As an American it’s always so surprising to me that people in other countries can just afford to go shopping. I haven’t known anyone who went out shopping in the world just for fun in the USA since the 90’s. We can’t afford it.

Reasons to stay fit that have nothing to do with ability to punch a fascist:
- social community: many kinds of fitness, from yoga to dance to sports, are social!!! You can TALK TO PPL
- discipline: the ability to regularly commit to min 30 minutes of an activity >>>>>
Can't even make fun of anarchists anymore why are so many people having meltdowns abt exercising? You can just admit you don't exercise and it's not good, you won't combust even if you aren't consistently "morally" correct. This is still related to Christianity somehow.
