"China is the future, do you agree?"

I want the mandate of heaven to come to all of us.

Can you elaborate?

I don’t really know anything about China, so I really can’t say.

As an Indian, I think they seem more well-planned and more decent than recent USAmerica.
We have border issues, but I do respect them as I agree with their leftist view of reducing poverty and improving education.

It would be a good idea to learn a bit, I think, considering that they will play an increasingly large role on the global stage.

I would like to hope no one nation is the future. Replacing one global hegemony with another is not my idea of progress.

[email protected]

I agree

For whatever it's worth, despite never formally studying Chinese, I managed to read both the Chinese sentences, albeit with the wrong tones. Like to be fair I have studied Japanese, and I am generally a bit of a weirdo with a knack for this sort of thing — but I do still have to wonder if more people are just going to start casually picking up hanzi just from exposure like I have, as China becomes more prominent. I could certainly see it happening.

"China is the future" is a bit of a vague question, though. I absolutely think that the USA is currently crumbling as the world's hegemon — interestingly enough, the USA's flag actually has stars on it to represent a "new constellation", using the constellations in the sky as an allegory for the rise and fall of nations; so it indeed seems like the fifty-star constellation is beginning to fall beyond the horizon, as a new five-star constellation rises.

This being said, I don't think China's behavior as future hegemon will be the same as the USA's current behavior as present hegemon. I don't necessarily know what to expect from the future, though, so it's probably best to prepare for all possibilities until we gain a clearer understanding of the situation.

Don't know why you're lionizing anti-communist nationalists as the "true China." The KMT were brutal nationalists, just because they preceded the Communists doesn't make siding with far-right nationalists the answer.

Already!

Looks like I was dead-on, haha.

Taiwan/RoC is not currently ruled by the KMT though. (Nor is today's KMT very comparable to what they were many decades ago)

[email protected]

The KMT is where the origins of RoC as "true China" come from. Outside of the KMT, there are no claims of the RoC as anything resembling a "legitimate heir to China," only the KMT as the former rulers of the mainland.

No thanks, replacing one imperialist for another won't help the world.

[email protected]

Also, we can't really know and judge China as the world leader, as they're not yet.

As soon as you are on top, your behaviour might change. Both for the better, but most likely for the worse. (see US)

Also, we have to remember that China still needs all western partners to keep up their production. They are still a manufacturing country.

Can you elaborate? How is the PRC in any way comparable with respect to Imperialism as the United States?

[email protected]

I'm onboard with Wales. Let Wales rule for a bit.

Damn, they blocked Tor Browser.

I went to Fennec with uBlock on and VPN enabled (privacy reasons), the first thing I see is a download attempt of the 小红书 .apk file. I tap X, and it does it again. Damn, seem like Reddit all over again. ‍️

Also, they require a +86 phone number for registration. Not a fan of that. Its like Facebook + region locking. Well I guess it make sense... too many TikTok refugees lol.

I had to change to user agent to windows. The comments are pretty chill, unlike some other Chinese sites. I don't see any "MAGA" type comments like you would see on twitter.

Oh my, I can't even begin to imagine what a Texan or Creole Welsh accent would sound like if that was the international language! ‍

Or they may just be pushing back on the idea that the PRC has legitimate claim to the nation of Taiwan. People online like to say it because they know it upsets the PRC government. Basically, it asks the question, "What makes the PRC any more the "True China" than Taiwan?"

Truthfully, neither nation is "true China", and neither are the nations that they were years ago. No one in Taiwan today holds any belief that the ROC government is the rightful government of the mainland in exile.

But Taiwan is unable to be widely recognized as a sovereign nation in its own right to this day because the government of the PRC is still sticking to the "manifest destiny" sort of idea that there is a single, ideal land of China rooted in its imperial legacy, which for some reason the current mainland government feels they have an obligation to claim.
