Read it, excellent book indeed!

Good article on how cults have several times in history threatened to destroy Chinese dynasties (or even succeeded). Which I believe is quite unique in the world. Explains why Chinese leaders are particularly attentive to cults (like Falun Gong).

Just watched it. Absolutely must-watch, I confirm!

Excellent piece!

Excellent and sobering article by the great @jynpang! "NATO-for-Asia is just the latest sign that the post-Cold War security order of Asia is finished because the hegemon that built it has exited the room to pursue more immediate, brutal measures."

A must watch!

Great thread ⬇️ Worth a reminder that if the US had the same ratio of population to arable land as China does, its population would be over 2 bn people! Could the current US political system cope to satisfy the needs (food, housing, security, jobs, etc.) of 2 bn Americans? 🤔

To each his taste. For me I genuinely believe Three Bodies is the best scifi book I ever read.

Good take (and very well written) by @SohrabAhmari. Arguing that "integrationism" and "confrontationism" re. China are 2 sides of the same coin, ultimately seeking to perpetuate a hegemony that becomes more and more dangerous for the US and the world.

Excellent article, must-read!

The op-ed just written by Olaf Scholz 🔽 is worth a read. Biggest bombshell: "New centers of power are emerging in a multipolar world, and we aim to establish and expand partnerships with all of them" 👉 New - multipolar - world order is now reality.

The whole video is there 🔽, extraordinary interview!
