China's development as a superpower

The thing about the Chinese most people in the west don't really understand is they just want to work and make products... whereas in the west we all want to become rich so we don't have to work.

When a western company makes a gymshoe and they can get famous basket ball players to endorse their product they will sell it for $500-600 a pair... when these shoes come off the same factory production line using the same machines and the same materials as the shoes they sell in China for $50 a pair.

The Chinese factory that makes these special shoes for the American company will work two extra shifts a day funded by the factory manager and for 8 hours a day they make Rebok boots for $600 a pair and then the other 16 hours he puts on two shifts of workers to make something very similar but with Roobox or some other label on them and they all cost $30 to make so he sells them for $50 to start with in the rest of the world... and if they sell well he might put the price up to $70 but he knows if he gets greedy and charges stupid prices like American companies do then he wont sell all the shoes he is making.

All US CPUs have backdoor hardware. This has been exposed extensively for Intel and AMD is just another US outfit.

And another stereotype... the communist Chinese government is watching you... they put chips and cameras in their products to see what you are doing.

Except the Chinese government does not give a **** what you are doing, it is the American government who wants to know everything about what you are doing because they are owned by big business in the US and they want to sell you shit so they need to know when you get hungry and what you search for on the internet...

If you look back at all the spy scandals since the end of the cold war they have all been the US proven to be spying on its allies mostly, but the problem is that every time they get caught they alledge the Chinese and the Russians do it too so everyone remembers accusations against the Russians and Chinese and are not reminded that the submarines trying to penetrate neutral Swedens waters were always HATO subs... except one time there actually was a Whiskey on the rocks... which got endless publicity so that that is the one you remember.

The enormous American spy machine went from spying on their enemies to spying on their friends... they have all the dirt on western politicians from all parties... they know this politician in this country searched for midget porn four nights in a row, they know that politician is probably cheating on his wife based on the text messages he is sending to his secretary... they have all the dirt on everyone so they can manipulate countries in Europe to look after US interests and forget the interests of not only their own countries but also of Europe itself... and even humanity... when they are supporting Nazis.

It is sad that the end of the cold war destroyed the universities in the west who all had Russian/Soviet departments to study the enemy. They were well funded and had the best and the brightest, and led to at least some understanding of what Russia was doing... even if it was coloured by western propaganda which distorted things so they never fully understood... they didn't want to... because that might lead to understanding and better relations... and it was really all about weapons and arms and fighting wars.

The US elite is power mad and it uses all the tools to pursue this obsession. The MSM propaganda tool is being used to screw over Americans and
other NATO citizens. Having the MSM lie about the USSR and Russia was never justified and was ultimately quintessential corruption. If MSM
had journalistic integrity instead of being mercenaries and information terrorists, then they would not be attacking the people of their own country.

An example similar to Sweden is how the US has treated the channels between the Canadian Arctic islands as free navigation domains even
though they are too narrow to be international waters and are limited by the shallow, rocky seabed. The Canadian government was not happy
about this (this may have changed under Turdope, I have not heard anything for over a decade) but the Canadian MSM were insinuating that it
was Russia that was violating Canadian territorial waters. The USSR and Russia never used these channels. There is nothing the of interest
and they were not any bypass of Arctic sea ice when it was still substantial year-round. All the bleating about the magic North-West passage
for decades has turned out to be a total joke. It is the North-East passage off the coast of Russia that is the real deal for linking the Orient
to Europe.

The Chinese are an incredible people. They deserve all the respect. I hope they dominate the world, maybe they improve the decadent humanity we have.
Russia had to seek this alliance out of pragmatism and necessity, but the Chinese will be more loyal than all the Western bastards. And Russia will benefit from China's global dominance once the progressive elites are wiped out.

Even nice New Zealand did not treat the Chinese very well... we had a Chinaman tax for Chinese wanting to come and live in New Zealand. They are the best immigrants we ever had.

The first generation would own market gardens growing food, or they would own takeaway shops selling fish and chips and chinese meals, but their children would all be pushed to get good educations as well as working on the farm or in the shop and they would be lawyers and doctors and professional people respected in the community.

Very unusual for Chinese names to appear in the court news.

Here in Dunedin we have had a Chinese mayor... Peter Chin. He was a good mayor. We also had Sukhi Turner, she is Indian and married to the NZ cricketer Glenn Turner, and she was a good mayor too.

Patriotism - is it the same everywhere or not? For example, is Chinese different from ours, and is there anything in it that we can learn from? At the very least, to understand that next to us there is a nation with many peculiarities of thinking that are useful to know.

The story here is this: October 1 was an anniversary - 75 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is clear what happens in such cases in any normal country. Mass events in the capital, ceremonial speeches. Publications summing up the results, fresh or for all the years the republic has lived through.

That's what happened in China this time, but in addition, an article by the head of state Xi Jinping on the topic of patriotism appeared in the theoretical journal "Qiushi". In fact, it's not even an article, but a collection of statements by Chairman Xi on this topic over all the years he has been in power (since 2012). After all, he constantly talks and writes about it.

In fact, theoretically, patriotism is the same for everyone around the world (if it exists, of course), and many of Xi's quotes could well have been born here. For example: "Feelings of patriotism bring tears to our eyes, the spirit of patriotism is the backbone of the Chinese nation." Such words are from the series of obvious, at least because patriotism is generally an obvious and normal thing, which in a normal, peaceful situation you don't think about much.

But here is a quote included in the article in question: "Patriotism education is a compulsory course of study throughout the world." This is from Xi's speech in Moscow, at the All-Russian Conference on Education.

Around the world? What about the US, where Republicans howl that Democrats, with their ideology, are instilling in children contempt for their country? But Xi said these words on September 10, 2018. Maybe it’s because the globalist orgy in education was not so noticeable at first, but America has changed a lot since then?

In fact, the story is more complicated. In fact, the analysis of how the Chinese see patriotism is ongoing - primarily in China itself. Here is a study by an author from the Yangcheng Institute of Technology from May 2022, entitled "The Development of Chinese Patriotism, from the Past to the Present." It covers everything: what Mao Zedong said on this topic, what Deng Xiaoping said, and so on to this day.

And we see that soon after coming to power, in 2015, Xi Jinping says: you have to study your history and culture to understand what country you belong to. In what context does this sound: the fact is that in China at the highest level it was recognized that globalization is challenging patriotism. It is eroding the ideas of loyalty, national pride and respect for one's culture. And something needs to be done.

And what is culture? The mentioned article contains a lot of interesting and purely Chinese things, again with references to quotes from Xi Jinping. For example, a short formula of patriotism contains a point about supporting the national ethics of "humanism and correctness". And this, by the way, is from Chinese philosophy, which is two and a half thousand years old. Confucius, Mencius and other thinkers. Humanism is also mercy for people. Correctness is generally a great thing: it is "what should be", in general, justice.

The combination of these two key values ​​of the nation, two guidelines of the Chinese way of thinking, has a very specific application today. For example: in 75 years of the PRC, there have been two Chinas, the second is the result of dismantling the first, that is, Mao's regime. But why then, in words, at the ideological level, is there no "exposure of the cult of Mao" and toppling of statues? Because hundreds of millions of people sincerely (or not so sincerely) participated in the failed Maoist experiment. Some of them are alive, some remain in the memory of their grandchildren. To stigmatize the entire previous regime is the same as telling people that their lives were wasted, that they were accomplices to something terrible and did nothing good. This is not the Chinese way. Inhumane and unfair. We must all get out of this difficult situation together.

Together is patriotic. Because (let's return to the same article, with quotes from Chairman Xi) the same ancient Confucian culture that the Maoists tried to destroy assumes that first of all are the interests of the entire country, then the interests of the group of people to which you belong, and only then the interests of one person. This is patriotic, because patriotism is when you first think about something big, for example, about the Motherland, and then about yourself.

And this is just one such article. With examples from ancient and middle history - by the way, Xi himself constantly refers to very real historical figures, whom all these traditional values, including humanity and justice, sometimes forced to sacrifice their lives. And on the eve of the current anniversary in Beijing, there was a celebration of today's heroes who do the same.

Well, as for the anniversary statistics, they, of course, have appeared, and they had not previously flashed in the media. For example : in 75 years, the once ruined country has become one of the first two economies in the world, the first trading power. And what does this mean? Well, in particular, that it makes foreign trade transactions for 11.4 million dollars every minute. It is also the owner of the largest foreign exchange reserves. Since 2013, China has generated up to 30 percent of global economic growth annually. And for 12 years now, it has been one of the three main global investors in foreign economies. It invests in other countries for about 16 million dollars every hour, but itself attracts about 482 million dollars - though not per hour, but per day. This is despite the fact that the world economy is not in the best shape now, which means that the Chinese economy is also experiencing difficulties. But everyone would like such difficulties.

And it remains to be seen: would all this have happened to China if it had not been for the “very own” understanding of patriotism built into the national culture? Most likely, it is unlikely.
