"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."

Congratulations!
Oct 26, 2021. After more than 20 years of sutras study, the 11th Panchen Lama, Bainqen Erdini Qoigyijabu attained the highest degree in exoteric teachings of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, equivalent to a doctoral degree in modern education.

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.

Today, I read a meaningful passage on reddit. I agree with it. Image
"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...
