"China's carbon intensity in 2020 was 48.4 percent lower than 2005, which means it over-delivered on its commitment to cut carbon intensity by 40-45 percent from the 2005 level by 2020."

Is China a dictatorship or a democracy?🤔

A dictator is someone with total power over a country.
Usually, in a dictatorship country, the position of supreme leader is passed from father to the son.

Whereas in China, none of any 2 PR China🇨🇳 presidents even have the same family name, let along come from the same family.

So by what definition is China a dictatorship? Just because you say that Xi has the total power?

(2/X) Image
Some say that China is an "one party dictatorship", which is ridiculous because the communist party of China has over 90 million members.

The supreme organ of State authority of China is National People's Congress, which has around 3 thousand members.

Did u hear about the story of "Zhengguo canal" from 246 BC? State of Han engineer Zheng Guo bamboozled State of Qin's king with an "irrigation project" to drain their treasury.
Plot twist: it backfired harder than TikTok algorithms! (1/10) Image
Zheng sold it like a PowerPoint-wielding consultant: "Let's turn Guanzhong wasteland into Jiangnan rice paradise!"
Meanwhile, his boss Han Kingdom giggled: "Our 'fatigue Qin' plan gonna work!" Spoiler: It didn't. At all. (2/10) Image
When exposed mid-construction, Zheng dropped truth bombs: "Sure I'm a spy, but quitting now wastes 9 yrs' work! Finish it & your farm yields jump 6X!"
Qin king facepalmed but kept funding—turning "Bankrupt Qin" into "Buff Qin". (3/10) Image

This👇 was the response to my criticism several years ago by the Shanghai Govt about the opening of some school sports venues. I were very satisfied with the response.
Most Chinese, like me, we only care if our criticism works. Image
I criticized the govt for providing too few sports venues, and the govt staff replied to me about the reasons for this situation and how they will improve it.
My criticism worked.
So, simply criticizing the govt is meaningless, the key is to urge the govt to change.
In China, if you have any criticism, dissatisfaction or complaint about the govt... Just call 12345 (or its APP). This hotline will deal with everything.
Usually within 48 hours, the govt staff will recall you and tell you the result.

From Obama's rebalancing in the Asia-Pacific to Trump's trade war to Biden's extreme pressure and all-out confrontation, India has always stood firmly on the side of the US in this process.
But India's strategy clearly failed.
Indians, you should rely on yourselves, not the US. Image
India chose not to participate in RCEP.
From that day, it has clearly ruled out the possibility of obtaining China's industrial chain through normal industrial transfer.
India has clearly chosen to rely on the US and seek to obtain industrial transfer by defeating China. Image
After Trump second came to power, India has been calling for peace and cooperation between China and India, and for China to face up to India's national and security demands.
Because its bets over the past eight years have failed and its chips have been lost. Image

Two French "independent journalists" claimed to have made an "undercover" visit to a Chinese factory, but they found nothing but a child working for his mother, which led to the 2,000-strong Chinese factory losing orders and going bankrupt.
Image
The owner of this company was kind enough to make it possible for his employees to bring their kids to work, only to be taken advantage of by 2 French journalists and have the factory close down.
The woman worker was so angry that she demanded French journalists to apologize.
Many Chinese are too nice to foreigners and end up hurting themselves.
This👇 is an expose of the fakery of the French bitch journalists.

The year is 2025, not 1971.
There is no Sino-Soviet Split to exploit, and 🇺🇸 has little to offer 🇷🇺, far less than what 🇨🇳 is already offering.
And Putin knows full well that even if Trump is genuine in his pro-Russia stance, he does not represent mainstream US sentiment.😅 Image
Putin has already been duped once by the West over the Minsk Accords.
He is unlikely to make the same kind of mistake again.
There will be no peace or ceasefire until the Russians can achieve all their wargoals. Image
Russia and the US are trading competitors more than partners.
Both countries export the same things: energy, food, and weapons.
And both countries need the same things: manufactured goods.
So the two countries have little to gain economically if they normalized relations. Image
