Maybe they mean 喧宾夺主

Sorry, that’s the gist of the thing I remember and not the detailed similarities. Maybe I’ll ask chatgpt some day

Someone named him the Richard Nixon of China and that has stuck with me

Checks out

Nah, purity tests or sectarianism aren’t useful

Ehh the joke is lost

No no, not necessarily non-trot communists but anyone

Some people have affinities towards right-wing principles so that makes trots too much for them

Yea, Stalin’s not a trustworthy authority on communism (all puns very much intended) but it’s interesting anyway. There was a lot happening and affecting that falling out

Yes. Be it the US or China or anywhere else, the hour requirements are an absurd joke

That’s the expectation but apparently according to scientists, and easy to verify empirically, human cognitive levels decline after some four to six hours of deep focus depending on individuals and unique situations. So the ones grinding for 60 hrs all the time basically don’t get anything more or better done. It’s just time sheet theater.

Crunch can be an emergency situation kind of thing but that’s not sustainable and all and needs its own recovery.

Well the work takes 20 hours per week in any case. It’s just a matter of if the hour sheet is getting 40/50/60/70 marked in

Some don’t like that they’re too communist

It’s not a good idea to play this as a zero sum game and harm other countries’ climate efforts. At least they are slowly moving towards the paying side iirc from COP29 results

Even this would make the world a whole lot different instead of how they affect it now

7. “Demonstrate great power responsibility. China and the United States should always consider the future and destiny of humanity, take responsibility for world peace, provide public goods for the world, and play a positive role in world unity, including engaging in positive interaction, avoiding mutual consumption, and not coercing other countries to take sides.”

Slavery still exists in multiple different forms tho

And let’s not forget Russia’s support from that batch. This war is just another money scheme

That seems to be the modus operandi, they’re also collaborating with the far right in Hungary and Finland

Probably selling Ukraine to Putin

Vaporizing and edibles are more good than bad. Pretty much harmless in moderation. Just have your life in order first and use it to add that extra spice of awareness, instead of relying on it.
