If I were the president of the US, what should I do? 1. Formulate the covid19 vaccine compulsory vaccination law. 2. Cancel all tariffs in Trump period against China to stabilize domestic prices. 3. Reduce the US military budget overseas and increase the domestic security budget.
4. Allow international capital, including China, to invest in infrastructure in the US. 5. Rebuild and increase investment in the public education system and impose heavy taxes on private schools. Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement rather than race.
6. Impose heavy taxes on Internet and media monopoly enterprises. Split companies such as Facebook, Google and Amazon. 7. Impose heavy taxes on the rich. Abolish their legal tax avoidance rights.
8. Attach importance to international relations within the framework of the UN and increase substantive assistance to developing countries.
... ...
Of course, the above is impossible. Because I'll be shot in head the day after I'm elected president.👻

A Taiwanese media said that in a video news in 2018, President Xi wore an "expensive" "famous watch".
In fact this "Omega Constellation '95 Ref. 1512" sells for only $1,300.
And First Lady Peng Liyuan wears the same "love watch".
Perhaps, a gift from their daughter.
Expensive?🤔
The watch worn by US President Joe Biden is a Rolex Datejust, which is priced at about $13,000, 10 times as much as President Xi Jinping's Omega watch.😅
As for former US President Donald Trump, the real estate businessman wore the "Vacheron Constantin Historiques Ultra-Fine 1968" in public for about $18,850.
American Myth: "They took our jobs."
US manufacturing jobs, from 1979 of 20 million to 13 million in 2024 with difference of 7 million.
Can't even fill all the manufacturing jobs in Guangzhou, population of 19 million.😅
Classic bourgeois using jingoistic nationalism to shift the blame away from themselves. It's effective though.
The US transformed into a service based economy voluntarily long ago, there was nothing to "steal" from in the first place. They outsourced manufacturing starting in the 1970s, to make a quick buck.
They did. A lot.
The Korean War was probably the most important war to China in the recent history, even more important than the civil war or the anti-Japanese war.

Because winning the civil war simply showed that the CPC was the stronger faction within China.
Winning against the Japanese showed that the CPC can win a defensive war of attrition, especially when the enemy is fighting multiple fronts.
PLA occupied the ROC's capital.👇

Both of these are important, but in the international community, who cares? They are still things that a resilient but backwards society can reasonably achieve.

Do you know the young man in the photo wearing an undershirt in the field with the farmers?
He is Xi Jinping in 1982.
He began his political career in Zhengding County, one of China's poorest regions.
40 years later, he became China's top leader.
The first policy Xi implemented in Zhengding was to lower the share of grains paid by farmers to the govt and to increase the cultivation of economic crops to raise farmers' incomes.
When he became China's president, “revitalizing the villages” remained one of his basic policies.
Xi's proposal of "tax cuts" for local farmers was fiercely opposed by his leaders.
Instead of shrinking back, he found a political ally, Lu Yulan, a local "model laborer" deputy county chief, and together they applied to the central government for the policy.
They made it.
In the civil aviation field, the check-in counters at most airports in China currently do NOT use the Windows system, but use UOS and deepin (two Chinese versions of Linux systems).
So, this global CrowdStrike/Microsoft failure has no impact on China.
As for CRS (Computer Reservation System), ICS (Inventory Control System) and DCS (Departure Control System)... the world's main suppliers are SABRE, GALILEO, and AMADEUS.
In China, 🇨🇳TravelSky company has developed its own complete solutions.
So, as far as the civil aviation industry is concerned, China's civil aviation has replaced the underlying operating system, security software and application system software with products from Chinese companies in the past few years.
"I had surgery and spent 8 days at a Chinese public hospital in a tier-2 city. Want to share my experience to hopefully help other foreigners."
"... I was worried I’d have to wait several months to have it done. He told me I could have the surgery as early as the following week"
"I decided to choose the shared room over a private room. I ended up sharing the room with one Chinese man. The room was very basic (50rmb per night), but I was fine with it. It had a window, AC, TV and bathroom with western toilet, sink and shower."
"The nursing staff was unbelievable. Just incredibly hard working and did their best to help me. None of them spoke English to me, but they always had their phones out with translation software ready to go. I felt bad about that and like a burden."
