A good day to remind everyone that there are not hundreds of thousands of American international students studying in China and Trump’s children do not live in China. Xi’s daughter, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese international students, live in the U.S.

If Chinese international students were all radical Chinese nationalists, the CCP wouldn’t have told Chinese students to not go abroad and instead stay in China. They know that the outside world is a preferable one. All we have to do is validate that.

If your solution for a group of highly intelligent and wealthy students from your adversary’s country not staying here after graduation is to kick all of them out instead of instantly giving them all green cards, you might as well deliver them straight to AVIC in limos.

I run a Taiwan defense news tracking account on the other website, and my question is, why is it that whenever I post about retired equipment, like the M48, they ask if it’ll be donated to Ukraine? Ukrainians don’t want crap, they want things they can actually use.

Something that gets missed about the Cultural Revolution is that it was not just the killing of people. It was the elimination of all elements of society deemed politically inconvenient. Entire generations of Chinese experts in STEM, military, and politics suffered because of this.

Again, why do they dress like a band of highwaymen instead of a properly constituted police force? They’re inside the security envelope of a public courthouse.

The payouts to Babbitt’s family, the pardons of J6 insurrectionists and war criminals, and the growing push on the right to exonerate Chauvin all show that the GOP will forgive any crime if they see it as defending the set of hierarchies they believe constitutes the real America.
