How would you answer this, and how would you expect Chinese netizens on Xiaohongshu to answer?
I will link to the thread in the comments because I want you to take a moment and think about it first.
I want the mandate of heaven to come to all of us.
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 ε°ηΊ’δΉ¦ .apk file. I tap X, and it does it again. Damn, seem like Reddit all over again. π€¦ββοΈ
Also, they require a +86 phone number for registration. π€ 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.
Edit: Hmm my webpage only shows like 10 comments, then stops showing... π€
I mean china is an authoritarian state, that kinda thing never works for long
I'm saying this unironically: this comment could go on any dumbass thread about China's dumbass social media and dumbass AI. I don't understand why I don't see it more.
They. Are. Authoritarian.
Not a nationalist, I find this a terrifying thought, but 100%. Unless action is actually taken in the U.S., I don't think the West stands a chance. China is already in a much stronger position than I think many Westerners realize, they made tremendous gains during the last Trump presidency. If Trump really does cling to power for the rest of his life, I think we'll see a world where SA, SEA, Africa and parts of Europe are all completely economically reliant on China.
As if it wasn't like that with USA too
I don't think it'll be as bad as mentioned
The near future? Yes. Absolutely. The have the best economic and political system so far, and are now building out their military to step into the role of hegemon.
The far future?
Assuming China can crack down on global coal and oil usage and figure out climate change, they'll be paving the way for communism in a couple of generations. If they can successfully solve these issues, crush the capitalist markets, and still maintain or lower their current level of corruption then communism is inevitable by 2100 at the latest.
This will be the last century of kings and ceos. Either the world ends due to climate change and capitalist greed, or humanity prevails through communism. There isn't another option left.
The PRC definitely has its problems, but I am especially encouraged by their massive restructuring of their energy grid. I don't think Communism will come by 2100, but maybe 2150 or 2200, as there are going to be Capitalist holdouts for a long time resisting progress.
Earth first, fuck your countries.
Already!
I donβt really know anything about China, so I really canβt say.
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.
