No idea, that's not my industry. There's a reason Chinese people value education so much. It's a key driver in upwards socioeconomic mobility.

Better tell that to literally every government on the planet, then.

Jailing dissidents is government oppression, but it's a type of government oppression that happens in every major government, democratic or not. Welcome to the real world.

Why should the Global South care? People are dying there, too. We have a spoiled Western perspective.

Who the fuck wants to go to a desert theme park?

Do you know the context behind Xinjiang or the affirmative action that China takes on its minority groups? Have you ever been to Xinjiang?

Have you watched her content lol

You do realize that the CCP isn't some top-down monolith... Right? If it takes years to crack down on independent journalists, that sounds more like "freedom until you say overstep some line."

Which, sure, isn't entirely free, but it's not even close to as bad as what people suggest.

Chinese engineers in top cities (Beijing, Shanghai, etc.) get paid comparably to the West. An entry-level SDE at Alibaba in Beijing gets offered like 80k USD, which is close to the compensation in Toronto (~110k USD for an entry-level at Amazon), Berlin (~70k for the same position at Amazon), and London (~80k for the same).

Is war good for the Russian economy? Seems like Russia's economy is running at its hottest pace in years.

Given that the US can't even keep its barracks on American soil in decent condition, I guess it's no surprise that they have no environmental protections abroad...

International cooperation is good everywhere. It's particularly relevant because these investments focus on agriculture in the notoriously difficult land of the Arabian Peninsula and Northern Africa.

The progress towards dedollarization reduces the reliance countries have on the US, which is good for their economies but bad for the US.

That's a good thing overall.
