    Not exactly related to the main discussion, but none other than Jeffrey Epstein described the Chinese government, and Xi in particular, as peasants. Said you guys spoke in “fortune cookie language.” It goes without saying that is the highest compliment to be an enemy of such people, so China is clearly doing something right.

      China itself just like Chairman Mao is imperfect but I strongly believe the merits out way the wrongs and the real question isn’t is China good or bad but by how much the good out ways the bad e.g. is it 60/40, 70/30, 80/20 etc.

        Just a tip, “way” sounds the same as “weigh,” but “way” refers more to form or path, while “weigh” refers to weight, as in this instance. Fuck english, it’s terrible.

        Example:

        I am on my way to your house.

        It’s the way I did things.

        I weighed the stone, it is 2 kilograms.

        Also, feel free to tell me to shut the fuck up, lol.

          That’s for Chairman Mao and I would largely agree with that however I meant more for the new China as a whole. China continues to be imperfect but as I said I believe the real debate is the semantics of how far the good outweighs the bad as opposed to are they good or bad currently.
