Well, yeah, sorry, in my mind it is different than e. g. what Russia is doing or Israel, because China is not bombing the Bhutan capitol. They destroy the villages and drive away or kill the locals.
But I should’ve clarified. (And I am condemning China here if that was not clear).
Only what Bhutan newspapers outputs - Kuensel and the other one I forgot the name (paywal https://kuenselonline.com/dz/news/bhutan-china-border-talks).
Bhutan is literally being “polite” invaded (as in: not bombing the capital or hospitals, just army rounding up people and destroying their villages) and is doing anything to deescalate and stop, but it is a much weaker party. They tried formal protests in Chinese Embassy in India, they are trying… negotiations (e. g. https://www.mfa.gov.bt/joint-press-release-on-the-25th-round-of-boundary-talks-between-bhutan-and-china/), but they are still being annexed against their will by China - see also https://blogs.soas.ac.uk/china-institute/2024/12/18/the-bhutan-anomaly/
Separate comment because its easier to talk that way:
EU is not imperialist. They are a function of like global capitalism, which is imperialist, but EU is not imperialist.
That sentence does not make sense. Its a shade of green but not green makes no fucking sense.
Do they (China) try to expand their territory?
Well, they quitely took over what, 10% of Bhutan, since 2021 - and noone cares, because noone cares about Bhutan, right? Bhutan didn’t sold those territories, and isn’t even trying to defend them, because how would that work.
And that it is militarily a very good position in case they’d want to expand into India, that’s just a coincidence, I’m sure.
I mean yeah, I get it, compare it to the empire of evil and it looks benign. But it isn’t good, just a lesser of two evils.
Fishfighter, not fisherfighter. No idea why, just sounds better.
Otherwise no notes
There are many countries with said ban, but also many without.
No exceptions, the law applies everywhere.
No
It puts the lotion in the basket
just doesn’t roll from my tongue that easily like “you”
market capitalization
gdp
You do know those are not the same? Its literally like saying that USA citizens live good life because S&P is over 50k.
Edit: and if you don’t believe me about gdp, here you have PRC press release from 3 years ago about Privately owned enterprises (POE means no government shares) http://english.scio.gov.cn/m/pressroom/2022-06/29/content_78295756.htm , ans here you have Daecheng Institute listing pure State Owned Enterperprise GDP https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/720545740 at below 30%.
China abandoned socialism because they use markets.
No, but because most money, gdp (3/4), companies and work (80%) etc is fully privately owned with no state ownership at all, because the workers rights are not improving (gig economy booming, retirement going up, vacation being 5 days per decade of work experience, no practical sick leave, the second employment system), because giant companies are slapped on the wrist for transgression and personal C-levels punishments for shit they do like Pinduoduo
Heck, it is objectively measured by a LLM adjacent seller like Faros AI.
The more LLM code in your company, the slower delivery and more bugs that you likely find on production.
Literally data is at 60% of daily tasks being LLM assisted, the throughput is (every value is an average) 500% slower, company delivers 10% less and the bug rate is +50% per PR and +250% production incidents.
At 40% of daily task being LLM assisted the bug rate was +9% vs pre-LLM.
Ping me when this becomes reality and let’s check then if there are any FOSS alternatives.
It is alarming, and uninformed - its erasing how quickly Stalin started queer oppression with Article 121 (later 154a). And that - at that time - there were multiple European countries where being gay was not criminalized (nor gay sex).
is something no bourgeois state would even pretend to do.
You sir, are an idiot. This happens in every damn country.
You want a socialist society with zero exploitation, zero inequality, and zero contradictions
My point is this: If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and looks looks like a duck, then its a duck. Might be a slightly different duck, but duck nonetheless.
Edit: https://www.reuters.com/business/china-market-regulator-boosts-food-delivery-worker-protections-2021-07-26/ This is 5 yo. The scandal I mentioned happened recently, and in the same scandal it became known that the gig workers are more exploited than 5 years ago.

Whoopps, my bad, I read it as Google Keyboard. I can blame not having my first coffee for the brain fog.
I need to try different keyboards as I’m not loving the GOS one
Considering it sends anything and everything to Google servers then yes, you should.
Ignore it I read the name wrong
I love Pansy Division, they are the perfect mix of queer, oversexualisation and cringe!
