As early as 1500 years ago, Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married King Songzanganbu of Tibet (Tubo Dynasty).
In the 11th century, Tibet was officially incorporated into China's territory.
In 1728, the Qing Dynasty officially sent ministers stationed in Tibet.
This is the difference between China and the West in expanding territory.
The west is used to conquering and colonizing by force, while China is used to cultural integration and political means, only using force when necessary.
Whether Tibet or Xinjiang, they have been closely linked with China's Central Plains regime for thousands of years, sometimes merged and sometimes separated. Sometimes they merge economically but separate politically. Now, they are all part of China.
The case of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, known collectively as the “Two Michaels”... Michael Kovrig has been a member of the ICG since 2017... The ICG was first founded in 1995. Its initial seed funding was provided by George Soros... thecanadafiles.com/articles/micha…
The ICG frames itself as working to prevent wars and maintain global stability. Yet, as exposed by both the Grayzone and the New Left Review, its policies in actuality have sought to enforce regime change...
and the expansion of NATO and other US-led alliances in Europe, the Middle East, and around the world.
Today, I read a meaningful passage on reddit. I agree with it.
"sounds like a dogmatic application of the Russian / USSR's conditions to China.
The material conditions of China were of imperialism / colonialism from other countries on one side of a contradiction against the Chinese people entirely - no matter their class. "
"The CPC successfully used this to unite with the KMT to end imperialism/colonialism within China almost entirely which was a very difficult task, and then they successfully took over the nation from the KMT."
China’s budget will likely be in or near balance for the first time in roughly four decades, a sign of tight fiscal policy during the year despite a slowing economy, according to a study from the East Asian Institute. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
China recovered from the Covid (economic) shock without loosening its fiscal policy. Unlike US/Japan. No big stimulus, no drastic reduction of interest rate, no QE, no money printer going brrrrr.
And China still have the option to do all those in the future. It's like going back to 100% hp with your mana/potions still intact, nothing on cooldown. While US have already exhausted all their mana/potions.
I think China's former President Hu Jintao has always been underestimated.
His "Scientific Outlook on Socialist Development" is the theoretical cornerstone of China's transformation to a modern & strong socialist country. (1/X)
President Hu Jintao first put forward the "scientific outlook on development" in his speech on July 28, 2003. In 2007, at the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, this theory was written into the CPC Constitution. (2/X)
Humanism is at the center of the "scientific outlook on development".
The people-oriented concept is "to take the interests of the people as the starting point and...
"wow, i never imagined the day where i would be considering China policy as far superior than US. We have been getting weaker and weaker..."
Sometimes the comments under FOX news are much more interesting than the news itself.😅 foxnews.com/world/china-ba…
"I am starting to worry that China is going to eat our lunch. China has restricted teenagers video games to a maximum of 3 hours per week, which means that all those kids will have many hours to learn and improve themselves..."
"... Add to that that people in China have less obesity, hypertension, etc. They are also building a strong military and a sense of patriotism. The US needs to go back to focus on the truth, family values, hard work, excellence and the future of our Country."
