China doesn't count because you can't trust whatever they report to be true.
An example would be their "China made" microchips for the new Huawei or their new laptops, that were supposed to be proof that China didn't need western chips, but then the chips say "Taiwan" for some reason, and you realize they were still using western or older chips, but lying about them being manufactured in China.
When it comes to trains, we've all seen the horribly photoshopped gifs of the trains running on their empty rails.
Jokes aside, I'm sure the high speed rail actually exists, but I'm taking a stab at the legitimacy of the statements from any Chinese source, since they're well known to spout lies.
Honest question, do you not find yourself being chauvinistic when you dismiss all Chinese media as lies until proven true, but accept all western media as truth until proven lies?
Conversely, the west did lie about WMDs in Iraq, swaying public opinion so as to launch an illegal invasion that resulted in a million Iraqi casualties, or the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and that doesn't damage credibility? How do you resolve the cognitive dissonance in your head?
OK epsteinoid. You are a braindead NPC who gets all your information from youtubers. Your entire race is pedophilic and pathologically driven to slander others. I see no reason to trust anything coming from a white source.
*since they’re well known to spout lies according to western official, CIA sponsored thinktanks and western media.
What about the lies whestern media and western officials are well known to spout? Western media are infamous for lying about countries the US sees as rivals or ennemies, do these lies not make the narative about China at least a little bit suspicious to you?
I've been on the Wuhan->Guangzhou train and it was like 4 hours incl stops. It's roughly 1,000 KM (660 mi). Did the CPC somehow move the south coast of China inland northwards? I physically went from Wuhan airport to the ocean via train in less than 5.5 hours.
Like you're talking to the forum most likely to have visited China. It's not fucking North Korea, you can actually go there and get on the trains dipshit. Blanket dismissing all sources from China because some YouTubers told you to is just asking to be dunked on
China is using miniature black holes for folding space to hide their failing train system. Several high-ranking officials working on the "trains" were recently seen having been partially spaghettified, just real noodly-looking.
Holy crap you're right. How did I not see through all the CCP lies before now.
All of China's "economy" and "infrastructure" consists of photoshopped images that circulate the internet. Chinese people are so thoroughly propagandized that they don't realize that none of it is real.
It surely can't be that a boomer governmental worker reposts whatever he sees on wechat. It's the irrefutable proof of the nefarious CCP plan, which all 100 million members are privy to.
Woa! A promotional video containing CGI! This is something that litterally no institution or companie does!
The cars in car advertisement are almost always CGI and not the real thing, does that mean that Wolkswagens and Toyatas aren't real? No, of course it doesn't! That's stupid.
If you want to see the real thing, there are plenty of videos of China's high speed trains on youtube including of vloggers taking those trains, heck, you could go to the fucking country to see them with your own eyes.
So you're just a full-blown hyper paranoid conspiracy theorist who thinks that everyone in China is just trying to dupe you into thinking they've built trains?
I'm sure they tried making a maglev. But I'm also sure they used a larger budget than reported, reached lower speeds than reported, and quietly swept under the rug any complaints from locals whoms living spaces were torn down to make room to build this. This is how it always goes.
You can literally watch videos of the Shanghai Maglev, on YouTube, right now. It connects the city to the airport, and Shanghai is a major business hub, westerners go there all the time.
Always funny to me how you guys burned in your mind that China is ontologically bad so hard that you just throw accusation of lying without any evidence. You just suppose shit and don't see any problem because to you China is a bad evil country is self evident and so anything that potentialy corroborate this "truth" has to be true.
You can just google shanghai maglev, it makes the journey in about 8 minutes, sometimes less.
I've done this before with other "china experts" who believed such silly things as that Winny The Pooh was banned in China, but they never let reality get in the way of their pre-conceived notions, or examined how they got those erroneous views.
I would be fine with admitting that China is part of west Taiwan, rather than the opposite.
Here's a few more fun facts: the Pearl necklace failed, the skyline doesn't lie, the east sea belongs mainly to south east Asian countries, and painting your ground green doesn't fool anyone.
Every dumbass statement you made has been disproven. It seems you white NPCs are only capable of regurgitating the same tired catchphrases and insults. I'm sure it took a lot of effort for your two braincells to remember to regurgitate "little pink" from whatever propaganda slop from youtube you heard it from.
What statements exactly? That spraypainting mountains green and rolling out plastic leaves over barren cliffs isn't fooling anyone? Because it isn't.
Or that the sea disputes China has with its neighbors are overwhelmingly judged as China trying to grab land that doesn't belong to them? Because no one is backing China on this one.
Or that the Indian necklace of diamonds ended up surrounding the Chinese string of pearls? Because it did.
Couple things: the fake leaves is purely aesthetic, there'd be no need to fake it since China's actual afforestation efforts outstrips the rest of the world. It's not meant to fool anyone any more than Mount Rushmore is meant to fool people into thinking there are gigantic presidents roaming the US.
Oh and China's 9 dash line is inherited from your beloved ROC. As in in 1947, before the end of the civil war, the Republic of China claimed the majority of the south China sea as Chinese and the PRC inherited ROC territories as the de facto victors of the civil war. And even then it's smaller than Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty claims to the waters. The PRC is no more landgrabby than any former Chinese government. Do you know who China "grabbed" the Spratly islands from? France. Even if you see it as imperialism, it's way more defensible than France having ownership of the south China sea or Britain having the Falklands.
And you really wanna look into who coined the string of pearls claim: Booz Allen Hamilton, the company contracted to spy on Americans, the one that employed Edward Snowden, the one whose contract mysteriously increased from $2 million to $70 million in 2007. Their goal is to fearmonger Americans to increase military intelligence spending. You're falling hook, line and sinker for MIC propaganda. If India and China are such bitter rivals, ""border disputes"" wouldn't be solved with sticks and India wouldn't be in BRICS.
This is what we mean by cope: grasping at the least credible theories around because the YouTube algorithm gave you some China "experts" and you took their word as fact.
This is referencing a hypothesis coined by Booz Allen Hamilton, an American military intelligence contractor. It hypothesized that China will try and secure its borders in the Indian Ocean with civilian infrastructure. This was in 2004 when China-Pakistan relations were improving, and was fearmongering that India would have it's maritime territories seized by China. Kind of moot now that India is in BRICS.
Booz Allen Hamilton also famously employed Edward Snowden at the time of the leaks. BAH were contractors for the NSA for the PRISM project. Also, in 2007, it was discovered their contract with the department of homeland security went from $2 million USD to $70 million USD, a 3500% increase, and BAH's parent companies made considerable donations to John McCain's presidential campaign (which I think is a conflict of interest when your subsidiary is a government contractor)
This is a decades long malicious disinformation campaign from Chinese ops. It is verifiably, 100% untrue and hasn't been true for a long time.
In 1993 the Legislative Yuan asked the Judicial Yuan to clarify what the official territory of the ROC is. Interpretation No. 328 ruled that the legislative intent of the term “inherent/existing” was specifically to avoid setting down precise boundaries, since the areas controlled by the ROC at the time were continually shifting with the tides of the Chinese Civil War. The interpretation thus held that the phrase is political question that cannot be assigned any fixed legal definition.
They officially declared Mongolia to be an independent country in 2002.
