Manic Nuclear Scheme Girl. Rootless cosmopolitan. Watching China from Taipei. Taiwan is a part of the Sinosphere.
The frontline is so stretched out that stealth Russian small squads could sneak into Pokrovsk because the brigade supposedly defending ran out of infantry. Meanwhile, I hear the Ukrainian parliament voted to hobble some anti-corruption agencies set up by the west today. Good…
Following recent developments around Pokrovsk, Ukrainian source Deepstate is now characterising the overall Ukrainian manpower situation as "catastrophic".
When people like Stephen Kotkin and Sarah Paine give 100% of the credit of the prosperity of China to the Chinese people and 0% to the Chinese government, they are implicitly saying the secret to a prosperous nation is to be of the right race. There are very far sweeping…
The problem with arguments like Kotekin is that taken to its logical conclusion the reason why sub Saharan African state suck must be because of the people 🤨😗😅
Does anyone know why Taiwan haven’t gotten our tariff letter yet? Japan, SK, Indonesia, Philippines…didn’t even the Myanmar Junta get one? Did he forget Taiwan or what?
This is a perfect articulation of how to think about investing for at least the next 3 years
all of the US is operating as an exit scam now. every sector, industry, layer of govt, etc
I’m a huge fan of Stephen Kotkin, but for him the original sin of China being a communist country will never go away, even as everyone can see with our own eyeballs how much it has changed since the days of Mao. There are ppl out there who have a spiritual aversion to seeing the…
One thing I tried to push Stephen Kotkin on: Okay, you say that China saw decades of double-digit growth not thanks to the CCP, but because of the hard work and entrepreneurialism of the Chinese people. But India also has lots of hard working entrepreneurial people. Why does…
Imagining a Chinese student shedding tears while placing their labubu doll at Karl Marx's tomb, with the highest sense of respect.
Taken with the Chinese student letters at Marx’s grave. There are a few.
"The Grand Turk governs peoples of differing religions with a single tax and a wise indifference, while Christian princes drown their realms in blood for the sake of uniformity." Leibniz - Mars Christianissimus, 1683
The Ottoman Empire was the worst colonial empire. Its apologists are not only Turks, but Kurds and other Muslims as well. Further research needs to be done into the psyche of those people.
Literally in the summer as they don’t have AC
europe is cooked
I have no respect for bands that break up over relationship drama. No, you stay together and write songs about how much you hate each other and make your ex HARMONIZE over that shit.
discovering the spice girls broke up not over money and fame but lesbianism
I feel like the knowledge of how badly Ukraine is doing in the war is breaking containment into the mainstream press. The sad thing is, I bet all those journalists covering this beat knew long ago how it really was. But unvarnished truth is only allowed to come out in dribs and…
Hard to overstate how astounding it is to see this in the Spectator: prominent Ukrainians, incl. a former Zelensky official, saying Z's "prolonging the war," that it's destroying Ukraine, that it's a "pawn in an American game" - all "Russian propaganda" until two mins ago.
My Timeline is perfect right now: 50% Neolibs, 50% tankies. 50% Chinaboos, 50% China Hawks. About 99% pro-nuclear.
Hey @grok, based on my tweets, which dictator am I?

😂 China is stealing from the DPP playbook! Remember when Prez Tsai said “Taiwan doesn’t need to declare independence…we are already independent?” Now China is playing games with Status Quo: “the real status quo is Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory.”
台湾是中国的台湾。台海的真正现状是两岸同属一个中国，台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分。 台海和平的最大威胁是“台独”分裂势力和外部势力纵容支持。#OneChina #Taiwan
