- Also India way bellow 1B and China well bellow 800M, something like 600M wound be fair by 2050
by 2100 something like 400M, nobody wants to live in China mangrafician - And Europe/Us around 350 + a lot of immigrants, so like 400M would be fairgrafician

"Many Hollywood blockbusters, including Avatar 2, have underperformed in the Chinese mainland film market in recent years mainly because the storytelling is no longer appealing to Chinese moviegoers."

- whatever can that mean?zardoz
- Get woke, go broke.Chimp
- Based on recent performance, the storytelling is clearly also no longer appealing to American moviegoers.MondoMorphic
- lol so many are tired of the woke BS that's infected everything in corporate America, Hollywood, etc.MondoMorphic
- yes wokeness is the biggest problem in corporate and hollywood.pango
- Meh, the reality is that Hollywood is cranking out mediocre reboots but Chinese films still aren't that great either.yuekit
- The two films they cite as positive examples in that Global Times article: The Wandering Earth and Wolf Warrior 2yuekit
- Wandering Earth is an OK sci-fi movie, Wolf Warrior is basically China's version of Rambo. Unfortunately for all of China's achievements it can't compareyuekit
- with better Western productions, such as recent TV series. Or with South Korean cinema which has mass appeal but also creative/ innovative.yuekit
- was avatar 2 woke at all?
LOL Wolf Warrior. everyone in this thread should watch that movie.pango

China’s ‘artificial sun’ nuclear fusion reactor sets new world record
China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor, or “artificial sun,” has set a new world record by maintaining 70 million degrees Celsius (126 million °F) for 1,056 seconds – more than 17 minutes.- Bye ChinaOBBTKN
- Is this going to be anything like the Wuhan Lab? CCP accidentally leak a mini sun that runs wild around the earth?shapesalad
- Wonder who they stole that fromGnash
- looks like something out of star-trek.
I'm assuming that the heat was contained in a magnetic or energy field of some sort and insulated from contact?_niko - HA! I just took a wild guess at the magnetic field thingy https://therockle.co…_niko

They just keep trying to save face as all communists states dografician - Between water shortages, power outages, covid outbreaks, trying to contain the Evergrande and the construction industry's defaults at bay, cracking down on techgrafician

Chyna is in very bad shape.grafician - People try to criticize how China takes care of its people, but come from countries who in history and current events are no better.PioneerDJ303
- China pulled its own people out of poverty whom 90% were all farmers. They've bailed out the US and other countries out of debt.PioneerDJ303
- At this point the US and its allies are just trying to slow down China's progress with disregard for the Chinese people.PioneerDJ303
- But you cannot blame them, because many countries can barely take care of their own with crime ridden streets, homeless, and poverty running rampant.PioneerDJ303
- I think you have to put it in perspective, China saw amazing growth in the past decades but so did other Asian countries.yuekit
- In terms of increasing living standards, China did about as well as Japan, but not as good as Singapore, Korea and Taiwan.yuekit
- And all these countries are overall probably a nicer place to live than China today, in terms of infrastructure, environment, social welfare, workers rights.yuekit
- Singapore, Korea, Taiwan are also overall probably nicer places to live than the US.PioneerDJ303
- 200 years of native American genocide, the US is riddled with thieves, hate crimes, gang gun violencePioneerDJ303
- Not to mention all the China haters are just racist, bigoted imperialists naturally.PioneerDJ303
- Sure there is a lot of racism and fear mongering, but keep in mind many people in Asia and the developing world are also critical of the Chinese government.yuekit
- @PioneerDJ303 LOL. oh man, there are 4 large shops with the exact same inventory in a 500m circle where my mother lives, they killed all the small businesses.sted
- in the 2ks they systematically killed the textile industry while sending more and more people into the country.
they haven't integrated in 20 yearssted - and in the past 2 years they proposed grandiose projects (from railway lines to universities) just to get the country into more debt.sted
- one of the nicest things is when Continental workers got fired for founding an union, they went on strike.sted

This is an interesting read....talks about the spying and intel war that has been going on between China and the USA over the past two decades.
One thing I had never heard before is that the CIA apparently infiltrated the CCP to an amazing degree in the early 2000s by exploiting the corrupt nature of their system. It got to the point where the US government was paying a large portion of the bribes used to advance up the ladder in the party, military etc. But around 2010 this was uncovered and most of these people were imprisoned or executed.
It helps explain Xi Jinping's "anti corruption" campaign which kicked off around that time and extreme paranoia that everything opposing them (such as Hong Kong protests etc) is actually the CIA.
China then successfully hacked into the US government and obtained personal info on 21 million government employees (this part was widely reported at the time) which seriously damaged any effort to get intel on China moving forward.

"China’s Dystopian “New IP” Plan Shows Need for Renewed US Commitment to Internet Governance"
"Huawei’s plans for 6G and beyond make U.S. concerns over 5G look paltry: Huawei is proposing a fundamental internet redesign, which it calls “New IP,” designed to build “intrinsic security” into the web. Intrinsic security means that individuals must register to use the internet, and authorities can shut off an individual user’s internet access at any time. In short, Huawei is looking to integrate China’s “social credit,” surveillance, and censorship regimes into the internet’s architecture.
The New IP proposal itself rests on a flawed technical foundation that threatens to fragment the internet into a mess of less interoperable, less stable, and even less secure networks. To avoid scrutiny of New IP’s shortcomings, Huawei has circumvented international standards bodies where experts might challenge the technical shortcomings of the proposal. Instead, Huawei has worked through the United Nations’ International Telecommunications Union (ITU), where Beijing holds more political sway."

The Chinese are a plague
A large fleet of 260 Chinese fishing vessels are in the waters surrounding the Galápagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador. Galápagos is a sensitive, protected Unesco world heritage site, as is an area of 188-mile radius surrounding it.

- They don't seem to even try to pretend to care about the earth, as a government the Chinese are a fucking scourge.zarkonite
- Like so many people they only care about profit and putting food on the table.pango
- The problem I see with the way some of these stories are reported is that China gets generalized as this single borg-like entity...when in realityyuekit
- we're talking about government officials or even private companies within China in the case of the "defective masks" story from a couple months ago.yuekit
- Of course there is a blurrier line between industry and government in China but that doesn't mean "the Chinese" are behind everything that happens in a countryyuekit

At the opening dinner of the Osaka G-20 meeting in June 2019, with only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang.
According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do.
The National Security Council’s top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China.
Trump was particularly dyspeptic about Taiwan, having listened to Wall Street financiers who had gotten rich off mainland China investments.
One of Trump’s favorite comparisons was to point to the tip of one of his Sharpies and say, “This is Taiwan,” then point to the historic Resolute desk in the Oval Office and say, “This is China.” So much for American commitments and obligations to another democratic ally.
- Trump knows how to be a lil' bitch. It comes natural to him.nb
- Yup, China sucksGnash
- he a lil bitch is right.pango
- lol some people not too happy about this storyyuekit
- The 'anti-Chyna' crowd thought Trump was their guy, but of course he will inevitably screw over and humiliate anyone dumb enough to support himyuekit
- Nice try, trump’s a fucking moron, but you can’t hide China’s horror behind trumps idiocy.Gnash
- So you support genocide, got it. But orange man bad! Amiright, bro!Gnash
- Lol. China is a fucking shit-show that is exponentially worse than the USA in every fucking metric. But you do youGnash
- Wow you've lost it Gnash...I support genocide? haha WTFyuekit
- ya... you're not making sense now gnash. just check couple posts up.pango
- Ya, isn’t it odd when peeps jump to conclusions? Perhaps you should reflect on thatGnash
- Thanks for making my point for meGnash
- I have to say, the orange man bad thing is the silliest talking point I've ever heard. Trump genuinely is a terrible leader.yuekit
- This is just more proof of that. The fact that his face is orange should be the first clue something is deeply wrong lol.yuekit
- You say ‘anti-chyna’ like it’s just the feral musings of trumps brainless following. China is a legit shit-show and yet you prop up orange man as a shieldGnash
- Lol at your lame ‘mic-drop’ logic, there. ‘Just more proof...’ ughGnash
- If you think Trump is a moron and his followers are brainless, why does this post bother you so much in the first place?yuekit
- Listen not sure why I need to explain myself but just for the record, I am a Hong Konger/ American. I was IN the anti-China protests in HK last year, somethingyuekit
- I doubt anyone else posting in this thread can say.yuekit
- I also happen to think there is a strain of anti-China sentiment over the past year, mostly coming from Western right wingers who never stepped foot in thatyuekit
- part of the world, that often verges on racism and conspiracies theories. For instance, the idea that China was covering up millions of deaths from the virus,yuekit
- which some people posted in this thread, struck me as implausible and I think it's safe to say at this point that it was simply not true.yuekit
- For that crowd (which includes people in HK BTW) Trump is often their hero, and I always thought that was a mistake.yuekit
- He clearly does not give a single fuck about Hong Kong and Taiwan, and now we have proof of it.yuekit
- racism is yet another shield used to deflect criticism from the Chinese regime. Of course there are racists - and there’s no lack of them in china, btw...Gnash
- And I can’t blame the hk’rs for putting more faith in trump than in china - can you? Despite trumps duplicity, it’s better than that shit-show China is offeringGnash
- Cmon Gnash are you really that single minded? Not everything is a "shield."yuekit
- And it is not a binary choice between the Communist Party and Donald Trump lol.yuekit
- I never said it was binary, just that pretty much anything is better than what China is offering. Even trump. And it is a shield when you use it like oneGnash
- Let me put it this way, there are many different currents within the HK protest movement. Left, right, liberal, and some who embraced people like Trumpyuekit
- and Steve Bannon. I always thought that was a mistake given that Trump is such a divisive figure and doesn't care about HK anyway.yuekit
- Fortunately I'm noticing a lot of people realizing that, now that this story is out there.yuekit
- OMG Gnash you just lost the plot completely.Khurram

China’s Got a New Plan to Overtake the U.S. in Tech
Beijing is accelerating its bid for global leadership in key technologies, planning to pump more than a trillion dollars into the economy through the rollout of everything from wireless networks to artificial intelligence.
In the masterplan backed by President Xi Jinping himself, China will invest an estimated $1.4 trillion over six years to 2025, calling on urban governments and private tech giants like Huawei Technologies Co. to lay fifth generation wireless networks, install cameras and sensors, and develop AI software that will underpin autonomous driving to automated factories and mass surveillance.
- But Google and co are doing the same right now. That’s Ok because not China?MrT
- FUTURE IS SCARY
for so many reasonsBennn - they overtake us tech by cutting the freedom of individuals close to zero.sted
- Feed an AI with data based on simplified people, which doesn't sounds bad at first if you want the same false picture what you get with old communist methods.sted
- Nothing's stopping the USA from also investing in new technology.yuekit
- yuekit that's a weird thing because its going non-stop in the past 10-15 years and that is why it is so difficult to compete in this marketsted
- All that power and you use it to suppress rather than innovate?grafician
- They'll overtake, and win, because mindless consumers just want want want for cheap cheap cheap.inteliboy

China drops word 'peaceful' in latest push for Taiwan 'reunification'
- interesting. current president is opposed to reunification. and after how well they did on preventing the pandemic, they have the most citizens' support.pango
- The majority in Taiwan have opposed unification way before this pandemicGnash
- true. the majority has been for a long time. but pro-unification side has been on the rise for the last 2 decades. last election one of the front runningpango
- presidential candidate was pro china.pango
- cpc is putting on more pressure because anti unification side is getting even more support.pango
- Yes the KMT (conservative party) are the more pro China side in Taiwan as I understand it. China really didn't want the current leader to be reelected.yuekit
- China wants Taiwan like Rassa wants Ukraine, weird to see how they follow the same tactics like rassa does with that poor country.sted
- Chinese Taipei you mean!_niko
- During the election there was even some rumors that the KMT candidate, a "right wing populist" was actually a trojan horse for China.yuekit
- And this time a year ago, he was probably the favorite to win. But the Hong Kong protests changed the entire political landscape.yuekit
- niko. if you want to be technical. it's R.O.C or even China Taipeipango

- tighten that tin hat Bennn, China is coming for your brains.capn_ron

- Bennn, I agree bud - China is up to no good. No doubt about that. And it's nothing new! Been brewing for 30+ years now!Krassy
