An example of a Chinese liberal attempting to build an alternate social construct for diaspora Chinese in STEM. Don't fall for it.

Remember, if you are a Chinese STEM worker, only hard power primacy for China will keep you safe.
It took 31 years for a different diaspora to learn the lessons of Auschwitz and execute Entebbe - showing that hard power is the only reliable safety net a diaspora can depend upon. The Chinese diaspora has the benefit of hindsight. It must incorporate these lessons for itself.
If Huawei, Tiktok, WeChat, and SMIC should have taught you anything, it is that American liberalism will not protect your right to build when push comes to shove. Only the Chinese system will protect your efforts from foreign governments and domestic monopolists.

FYI, this gets multiplied 1,000x when Western (mainly US) media talks about China.

The US loves to talk about how China's Leninist model makes it prone to 'miscalculation' in foreign policy, but the US's media echo chamber is a far bigger driver of miscalculation Image
Like, just witness the reaction to this article. The article is a fairly banal discussion of a) intent and b) capability among the US, PRC, and ROC. This is the kind of discussion that is found in mil/int, academia, and corporates all the time
But US commenters on Twitter-land have treated the article as some sort of paean to appeasement and the author as basically a Chinese shill. ImageImage

1/ The polls have closed and it seems you'd like me to expose a 'China Watcher', so here goes....
2/ Our China Watcher today is James Lin, a respectable professor for a respectable school with a sizeable Chinese student body
3/ How did I hear about James? Well, a few months ago, someone sent me these screencaps

Senior US regime official from the nominally 'reformist' camp finally admits that the US views China's economic growth itself as a threat
For all you Chinese 'liberals' out there, it is time to disabuse yourself of the notion that the US or the West in general will ever be 'friendly' to China.

Here, they admit it: as long as China is growing, they will seek to constrain it.
This is why I believe China should move on Taiwan sooner than later: if the US is going to try and constrain China's development no matter what, the US will never negotiate in good faith. In that case, it's better to 'negotiate' from a position of strength.

1/ Definitely give this a read. Goes to the heart of l'arrangement infernale that Facebook has struck with the BJP in India wsj.com/articles/in-in…
2/ This infernal bargain is that the BJP will help boost FB's userbase and engagement metrics in India, while FB turns a blind eye to the BJP's increasingly violent oppression of non-Hindu religious adherents to build a majoritarian Hindu coalition
3/ This infernal bargain also extends to the BJP's imposition of political controls on capital and tech inflows into the Indian market under Atmanirbhar, to force foreign companies to embrace its majoritarian politics and partner with favored domestic oligarchs
