Many Westerners firmly believe that "the Chinese have no votes. So, no votes, no right, no anything". Are votes equal to truth? Can we get truth through votes? I do not think so. What we need is the path to truth, not the path most people choose.
Westerners believe that the truth can be obtained by voting, which stems from their religion. Idealism believes that God is truth, and people can get truth by voting after vowing to God. "The jury is always right."
So is voting equal to democracy? Many Westerners consider the opposite of democracy to be dictatorship. In fact, dictatorship is generated through democracy.
Chinese traditional culture makes us disagree with this logic.
Hitler became the supreme leader through democratic elections, and the decision to deprive Jews of property was made through votes. Why? Because Christianity considers Jews to be evil.
Chinese and Westerners have different religions and cultures. We do not agree with the so-called "universal values" in the West, that is, we do not agree with Christian values.
The real goal of democracy is to give ordinary people a rising channel, the opportunity to manage country. China's political system provides sufficient guarantees for this goal.

US automotive design expert: Harvard and McKinsey told me to go to China, so I did, and now they're calling me a traitor? No one even listens to my classes in the US, but in China, I have 2,500 people in one class who are eager to hear what I have to say.
"Many people have been kidnapped by populism and politicians. Free competition is the most beneficial to consumers and industry. The States has our advantages, and China has their own advantages... in order to win votes, they start to shape an enemy that does not exist"

"Tariffs and propaganda can only hide us from reality so long. American, Japanese and European car and energy companies can be protected but will lose their export markets and then go bust anyway if they lock into the past."

Xi meets Biden in Lima.

"As two major countries, China and the United States should bear in mind the interests of the whole world, and inject more certainty and positive energy into the turbulent world."
Xi told Biden.
Xi noted the recent U.S. election, and stressed that China's goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship remains unchanged.
According to the memories of workers who participated in the construction of the China-Laos Railway, this project was the most dangerous project they had ever experienced: a large amount of UXO from US carpet bombing during the Vietnam War, which Laos was embroiled in.😱
Within nine years, 270 million bombs in total weighing two million tonnes were dropped on Laos, equalling eight bombs per minute on average. The total number of bombs is more than that dropped during World War II.
When then US President Barack Obama visited Laos in 2016, he promised an additional $90 million for clearing the unexploded bombs, but did not apologise for the bombing.
A game that took place in America, filled to the brim with Japanese memes, made by Chinese devs, peak diversity.
Let's show them what the REAL DIVERSITY is!😂👇
"Be the American the Chinese imagine that Japanese thinks you are!"😂😂😂🤣
Game creator: "To make this game, we purposely avoided taking testimonials or looking for expert advisors, everything was taken from the creator's memories, even if we don't remember it correctly, we feel that it's still a feature of the game ~"

Bloomberg - US Efforts to Contain Xi’s Push for Tech Supremacy Are Faltering
"China's technological rise will not be stymied, and might not even be slowed, by US restrictions... policies aimed at containing China end up isolating the US." bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-…
Made in China 2025 — an industrial policy blueprint unveiled a decade ago to make the nation a leader in emerging technologies — has largely been a success.
China’s production prowess is at historic heights: Its manufactured goods trade surplus is the largest relative to global GDP of any country since the US right after World War II.
China has long been portrayed by western media as a bully in the South China Sea.
Why, at the recently concluded ASEAN summit, did none of the nine ASEAN countries support the Philippines' claims? Why they are unwilling to condemn China?
Because this is the real South China Sea:
Almost all coastal countries have declared their own sphere of influence in this area, and these broken lines are intertwined with each other, and everyone claims that they have legitimate reasons.

There is no region in the world where territorial/maritime disputes are more complicated than here.
What's more interesting is that Taiwan (ROC) is also involved in these disputes on behalf of China, and they are consistent with the mainland (PRC).
