Happy Birthday, People’s Republic of China! Heartfelt Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, and thank you for being here, for standing, for not bending down and never surrendering.

The capitalist world is in decay. The West is rotting. Anger and nihilism are pouring from the imperialist empire whose citizens are frustrated; not at peace with themselves.

Imperialist North America and Europe are furious at the countries like Venezuela and Cuba because their thinkers and leaders are exposing the terrible deterioration of values which is streaming from the neo-colonialist and historically imperialist countries.

But it is China and Russia who are at the forefront of spite of the Western nation and their propagandists. It is all grotesque, now. Russia which saved the world from Nazism, and which helped to decolonize dozens of nations, is now “least liked country” in Europe. Germany, which murdered millions of Jews, Roma, Slavs, and others, is the most liked. In the West, nobody seems to care that Germany is still plundering such nations like Venezuela while using its industrial and banking might to strip defenseless nations of their riches.

China, a mighty Communist country, (or call it a “socialist country with Chinese characteristics”), is being mocked and humiliated by Western propaganda. Arrogance of the European and North American indoctrinators and most of their servile pseudo-intellectuals, from the so-called center to the right, has no boundaries. Most of them are suffering from incurable superiority complexes. They feel that they have the right to judge China; to decide for it, whether it is “truly” Communist or not, and whether it is on the correct track.

China is a calm, some could even say timid nation. No matter how mighty it has become, it tries to resolve all conflicts with its self-proclaimed adversaries, harmoniously. It does not attack, and it does not provoke. Historically, it cares for the well-being of its peripheries, and even for the welfare of faraway nations. For millennia, the wisdom went like this: “if the neighbors are doing well, so will do well China itself”.

Chinese leaders and Chinese people are convinced that if the entire world would become prosperous, China would benefit as a result. That is the essence of the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative), which is often defined as the “New Silk Road”.

Of course, it is not as simple as this, but in essence, it is. New Silk Road is the flagship of the Chinese internationalism. I saw China “in action”, in such places as Africa and Oceania, and I have been greatly impressed. I am an anti-imperialist, and an internationalist, therefore I decisively support China!



Increasingly, I consider myself a Communist and an internationalist, not a “Marxist”. Karl Marx was a historical, European figure, a good analyst and critic of the old, early capitalist regime. He was preoccupied with mainly European system, without using much energy to attack colonialism and imperialism. In the last hundreds of years, the most horrid problem has been the Western plunder of the planet by the West. Marx did not pay much attention to it.

Countries like the Soviet Union and People’s Republic of China, which have been defending those who are defenseless, are consistently and very professionally demonized by London, Paris, Berlin, and Washington, insanely smeared as “equal to the fascists”, while it is clear that the only honest equation could be made between the Nazism/fascism and the European and North American colonialism, or more precisely, neo-colonialist and imperialism.

While perfecting its own socialist system, China learned a lot about the mistakes made by the Soviet Union. It is not going to repeat them. Those of us who are close to the Academy of Social Sciences, or to the Chinese leading universities and media outlets, are doing our best to explain the errors committed in both Soviet Union and the so-called Eastern Block. Based on the analyses of its own past, and of other socialist countries, China is both fighting for the survival of the world, and for the improvement of the standards of living of its own people.

I like her approach; I am proud to be part of the “process”. And I support China with my entire heart because I know that if China falls, if it gets destroyed by the imperialist West, it would be the end of all hopes for our humanity. The West already demonstrated what it would do to the planet, if it would be allowed to continue ruling, unopposed, over the billions of lives of human beings.

United, allied, China and Russia are creating a powerful block of independent nations. Directly and indirectly, they are defending those good countries which are antagonized, brutalized, even terrorized by the West. Both nations are benefiting from working together. Now, dozens of countries on all continents are benefiting, too.

I like what I see. Hope is in the air. It is beautiful. It is full of optimism. And that is why I support; that is why I am celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China!



It goes without saying that China is being intimidated and provoked by almost all Western countries, as well as their client states.

Actually, attacking China is turning into the most lucrative career for both the mediocre journalist working for the mass media outlets and for the funding-starved individuals all over the world.

Reasons for these attacks are only too easy to identify: The People’s Republic of China is clearly winning in all fields and areas, over both the imperialism and savage capitalism: ideologically, intellectually and socially.

With only a fraction of the GDP per capita (compared to the West), China is eliminating extreme poverty. Its infrastructure is now better than that in the West. Its progress in the field of ecology cannot be matched by any other part of the world. Its creativity, in the area of culture and science, is colossal. The life of the Chinese people is improving, dramatically. And, it is very hard not to notice, the lives of the people in the countries that are working with China, are getting much better, as well.

More obvious all this is becoming to the people worldwide, more horrified are getting the traditionally colonialist and imperialist countries. They cannot offer anything to the world, as their economies and cultures have been based on looting, already for many long centuries. They are unable to stop, to reform, to work for saving the world. And so, all they can do in order to ensure that the status quo prevails is to smear China and Russia; two determined sisters that are working relentlessly for a much better planet.

For decades, China tried to compromise, to appease the West. It has been doing everything possible and impossible to avoid direct or indirect conflict. Only recently, it realized that the only outcome the West would accept would be if China would kneel, surrender, and give up its “Socialism with the Chinese characteristics” system.

And this is unacceptable to both the government in Beijing and to the people of China.

That is why the parade on Tiananmen Square, on the October 1st, 2019. That is why the clear message to the West: Chinese system is not for sale. China is not going to bend. That is why the new weapons, designed to repel anyone who would dare to attack the PRC, have been introduced.

In Russia, they say: Those who come with the sword, from the sword will die.

China clearly understood the wisdom of this truism.

Of course, China welcomes friends with open arms. It is helping those in need. It is trying to build a better world.

But it will never again tolerate attacks, intimidations, and bare racism. In the past, it got occupied, brutalized and humiliated. Now, after 70 years of tremendous leap forward, under the leadership of the Communist Party, China is confident, strong and proud.

I love this confidence. I admire what China is doing both at home and abroad.

That is why I am celebrating with the Chinese people the 70th Anniversary of their socialist motherland. That is why I am working, day and night, to show to the world all those great achievements of the most populous nation on earth.

I also believe that the union of China and Russia represents the last hope for our humanity. I witnessed the suffering of people on all continents; victims of Western imperialism. I do not buy, even for a second, the propaganda that “all nations are the same and would they be strong enough, they would plunder the world with the same brutality as Europe and North America have been doing for all those centuries”.

I am not too interested in reading and listening to the endless analyses of the Westerners regarding China. I am interested in what the Chinese people have to say about their country!

Now, 70 years after the Victory, the Chinese nation stands as united as ever. And the nations that have been robbed of everything, by the West, are now daring to hope, for the first time in many generations.

That is why, I am saluting the nation which is changing the world, and which, at 70, looks and feels so young, generous, kindd and full of optimism!

Something to keep in mind about China's military? In the last 30 or so years, China's allowed a lot of foreign corporations and foreign money into the country. That means that for the first time in a long time, a whole bunch of the people are not starving.

this has increased growth rates significantly, Chinese today are considerably taller and wider in the waist than they were 30 years ago. what this means for China is that their military equipment is too small. Their tanks are too small, the uniforms are too small, the rifles are too small. New equipment is needed all around.

It may seem inconsequential at first glance, but I guarantee you it renders large chunks of the PLA ineffective as a fighting force. They don't even have decent amphibious transports.

they also have no joint command in their military, so there's none of the operational fluidity that America enjoys.

Paper tiger is certainly the right word to use. A glass Cannon can still hurt things.

I once had to analyze russian reports concerning the joint military exercises with China (these happen regularly). Russians were basically constantly laughing their asses off at the inaptitude of chinese army, terribly trained, terribly conditioned, terribly commanded. My theory is that this is partially determined by a deeply ingrained cultural handicap: the chinese always scorned the warrior, it was never a venerated profession like in Latin or Turanian civilizations, it was always much less prestigeous and less respected than lawyers, bureaucrats or merchants. Actually soldiering was considered to be so lowly of a job, soldiers were treated as if they were outside of legitimate social hierarchy. It goes without saying that throughout the ages, military in china was the domain of lowest classes, recruiting from the poorest farmer families or even paroled criminals.

To put it in scientific terms, chinks are not the most warlike of niggas.

So much for Tsun Zu and the Art of War. So they were good at the whole planning and strategy but bad at putting the idea in practise? Or just incompetent in every single field to the point they are more a threat to themselves than the enemy?

Casual reminder that China fought the USA to a standstill in Korea, and that Russia has a known history of bigging up the accomplishments of its own military at every opportunity. I'm absolutely not a fan of China, but beware of dismissing their capabilities so flippantly. They're still a major power with totalitarian control over their population and the ability to inspire frothing patriotism at the drop of a hat.

Any foreign idiot that thinks China is going to care about them just ought to watch this;

And don't forget; absolutely no foreign citizenship under any circumstances whatsoever. You ain't born a chink? You ain't ever gonna be a chink. Simple as that.

 

[AltisticRight]

This idiot sounds more brainwashed than the average Chinaman. There's good things to say about the CCP such as the infrastructure building and about 80% of Chinese own a roof over their heads even though it's a nation with plentiful shitholes and poverty, but this idiot decides to yammer on about "imperialism" and "capitalism"? What the fuck, look at how much smog they have, it's peak capitalism. What about mass censorship?

Thinking China and Russia are willingly allied is beyond dumb. It's not America or whatever western imperialist blahblah that took outer Dongbei and Mongolia from China, it's Russia. China and Russia have stores that open 24/7, that's as capitalist as it gets. Guy is a communist internationalist yet he embraces a couple ethnocentric superstates? What the fuck, that's like Netanyahu praising Hitler. China doesn't welcome friends with open arms, it's literally impossible for non-Chinese descendant to get their citizenry.

Don't also try and say ROC under the KMT was any better, China now is pretty close to what ROC was then.

Whoever wrote this should be sent to a reeducation camp.

Tbh I didn't think so since I never went there. But when I think about it, it makes sense it would be a smog infested cesspool.

You're not wrong, Beijing isn't the worst. Cities like Beijing and Shanghai have strict emission control methods, it's actually very clean compared to 2nd-tier cities. Factories and stuff are not allowed anywhere near these cities, it's now in the poorer areas.
China controls emissions through imposing restrictions on cars. The number plate determines if one is allowed to drive in the "inner, mid, or outer zones", this is based on a rotation that's renewed monthly or something.
For example, 京A is allowed to drive everywhere, 京B-12345 isn't allowed in the "inner zone 內環" during certain days of the month if plates containing 3 or 4 in the last three digits aren't allowed, but they can drive in the mid and outer zones. Then there's C and D etc which is more restricted. Also green licence plates, indicating an electrical car, is allowed to drive anywhere no matter what, since it's electrical.

To be honest, this is a pretty genius yet autistic method.

Only if you're fine with being a cog in the machine.

Unless you completely drop out of society and go off the grid, you'll always be a cog in some machine, whether you like it or not.

Problem with western neoliberalism (and Chinese communism) is you are purely that, just an atomized economic unit. The better way is how our ancestors lived, belonging to a nation based on shared cultural roots and kinship, representing your tribe's interests instead of state/corporate interests.

Chinks have a very fierce sense of cultural identity. Unlike western/soviet communism which wanted to destroy traditional culture and replace it with a new communist identity, Chinese communism kept the cultural unity that was already there and grafted communism onto it. Even though they're ultimately serving a small set of bureaucrats/state capitalists that don't really represent them, Chinks still think they're acting on behalf of their tribe.

More to Truman out right refusing to win the war and letting the Russians and Chinese screw him (and the U.S. military) over peace negotiations that was dragged out for two years. Use of "tactical" Instant Sunshine would have help solve the China overpopulation problem infesting Korea.

You know, proposing the argument that the only way to get rid of them would be to start World War III doesn't help your case much.

 

[pwnest injun]

China is culturally propped up on its growth and advancement. The thing that's holding it together is that everyone can look around and see More New Things and this gives them the sense of purpose and self to make it through the day as a drone. When that cools off, and the facades start to crack, there will be a national crisis of identity. When the meaning in your life is the promulgation of Glorious China, and the Glory just got toppled because a massive storm knocked over a shoddy building or a tremendous dam created enough tectonic pressure to produce an 8+ earthquake, then the nation is in trouble. At least the USA has its ideals to fall back on while it rots.

 

[Just Some Other Guy]

Really it could be said that US forces fought a numerically superior foe to a standstill. Chicoms wanted us out of Korea, period. It took a sudden gigantic frantic human wave to push back US forces. Once the surprise vanished and we regrouped, the Chinese were fought back to a somewhat stable line.

After that one has to wonder if we could have pushed them out of Korea. Chinese troops were in horrible condition and heavily outgunned. Would they have enough warm bodies to sacrifice to Khorne? Probably wasn't worth trying to find out.

Hey its the South African english teacher that wore a suit in 40 degree weather and pretended he was an advisor to 'doctors' after meeting a divorced 30+ chinese doctor girl and marrying her while making youtube videos. He was hounded by police because he was lying about his work.

His opinions are invalid and becoming more so ever since he left China because it was getting too expensive for his pretend lavish lifestyle. He's currently semi-living in another 'single party communist dictatorship', i.e Vietnam because its cheaper.

Lets not forget that the Soviets were feeding the Koreans and Chinese intelligence of UN activities as they were both members and acting belligerents by having their Mig pilots fly for the North.

Yes, there is a very old Chinese proverb that goes something like "don't waste good iron on making nails; don't waste good men on making soldiers"

So much for Tsun Zu and the Art of War. So they were good at the whole planning and strategy but bad at putting the idea in practise? Or just incompetent in every single field to the point they are more a threat to themselves than the enemy?

In the pre-communist era, they were big on Sun Tzu's philosophy of "winning without fighting", since it was the cheapest and most cost effective method of waging war. Resorting to battlefield combat was indicative of a failure of political maneuvering and strategic planning, so they never placed an emphasis on combat prowess in the tactical sense. Instead, the ideal army commander won his battles by bribing his enemy's officers or men to defect, or tricking his opponent into retreating or surrendering via a "maskirovka" type of ruse, or outmaneuvering his enemy on the strategic or political level so that further fighting appeared useless to the enemy.

Instead of just seeing "war as an extension of politics", they also saw "politics as an extension of war". So the outcome of many Chinese wars were decided not by brilliant battlefield engagements, but by backroom bribes, betrayals, and alliances. Thus the Chinese generals were often adroit political intriguers, and the common soldier rarely ever saw serious combat and did not need to be very good at it. A Chinese general only valued his army only so far as it appeared bigger, stronger, and better equipped than his opponent's army. It didn't matter if it was actually better than the opposing army, only that the opponent thought it was better and that made the opponent consider defecting or retreating. In fact, one of the common tactics in battles between Chinese armies was for the general of the bigger army to deploy his entire force in full view of his opponent, so that his opponent would see how greatly he was outnumbered and thus convince him to surrender rather than fight an unwinnable battle.

I've noticed how you've been lurking in China threads recently and coming out with a lot of pro-China opinions/excuses and pointedly ignoring whenever people bring up his videos. This is one of the first ones I recall being posted that very directly highlights an anti-foreigner thing that absolutely cannot be disputed factually, so you immediately resort to personal attacks.

Be honest; how much is China paying you to post here? Is it enough to live on?

Also fucking LOL 'lavish lifestyle' he bikes around shitty dictatorships dodging authoritarian police forces to get footage from communities so pathetically poor they've never heard of a phone. He wears a suit because he's a professional and prefers to come across as such at all times as a result of being forced to endure the hellhole that is South Africa and wanting to distance himself as much as possible from that barbarity. The more I read your stuff the more I feel like you'd mysteriously vanish from the internet if I sent you a PM mentioning Tienanmen Square or Uyghur reeducation camps.

Sigh, I've said my piece, take it or leave it. And no, he was no professional, he was a TESL teacher, it's a 2-6 week online course. I'm sure he hoped to fake it till he made it, nothing wrong with that, worked out for him on the YouTube side. But the moment things got a little too expensive the bitch left and is now click-baiting fake news for video views. That's where he lost me, when he turned into a ratty little cash cow bitch.

As for Tienanmen and the uighur 'camps', your knowledge of both is completely divorced from reality if English/Western sources is all you've been relying on.
