  • would still get restricted because they’re contentious. Like if you start talking about how you believe in equal rights, that’s something most people agree with (at least in principle,) and it shouldn’t be political. But it’s going to ruffle some feathers anyways (especially if you get any more specific than that,) so it’d be restricted.

    If this is the best example you can come up with, it is fairly unconvincing that any mainstream political will be restricted.

  • US officials: "We realize that efforts, implied or explicit, to shape or change the PRC over several decades did not succeed"

    Jump

  • Let's be honest. If China became a liberal democracy now and keeps their economic trajectory, would the US really be cheering them on? When it means that China's GDP will surpass that of the USA in about a decade and double that of the US in two more decades after that? Will America be okay with China becoming the leader of the free world and become China's junior partner a la Britain?

    The honest answer is no to all of the above questions. The strategy has never been to hope that China turns liberal when they get rich and powerful because America doesn't want China to get truly rich and powerful. China's political system is of secondary concern for the West. Their increasing wealth and strength is what really bothers the US.

  • We also saw something that really stood out, which is that the PRC believed the United States was in terminal decline — that our industrial base had been hollowed out, that our commitment to our allies and partners had been undercut, that the United States was struggling to manage a once-in-a-century pandemic, and that many in Beijing were openly proclaiming that “the East was rising and the West was falling.”

    Sullivan can't get away with this. He can't just say a banger line like this and continue on without addressing it.

  • I was trying to criticize the tacit view that the Spanish/Portuguese conquest of Americas was a net positive by confusing Koreans and Aztecs.

    If Japanese colonialism and forced labor of Koreans is wrong, then the same action that the Spanish did is just as wrong too since people try to inject nuance for that colonization.

    I thought that it was a pretty funny comment but it didn't workout this time. I'm going to send myself off to reeducation.

  • Elon Musk can't keep Tesla's landmark pay package worth more than $55 billion

    Jump

  • The shareholder’s lawyers argued that the compensation package should be voided because it was dictated by Musk and was the product of sham negotiations with directors who were not independent of him. They also said it was approved by shareholders who were given misleading and incomplete disclosures in a proxy statement.

    The compensation agreement itself is suspect as Musk himself had over 1/4 of the total voting share and other directors were controlled by him as well. As an example, a shareholder who holds 51% of the shares can't just choose to legally print himself more of the stock at the expense of the 49% and that is what the lawsuit is alleging.

    Either give me a source that has a prominent Japanese publication or a talking head decrying the decision or stay put.

  • Controversial among weebs and white racists maybe. I can't find any prominent Japanese publication or talking head decrying the decision.

    The article tries to weasel its way out by saying "inside and outside of Japan" but it seems to be mostly people writing in English on Instagram who are riled up about it.

  • There's very little pro-Russia posters here believe it or not. It's that we don't go by you're with us or against us American style politics.

    People here make pro Russia posts in this instance because they're protecting the people of Donbass and because we're anti-NATO.

    I don't think you've met many pro-Russian people because they're posting epic footages of Ukronazis being owned by superior Russian military, copious amounts of Z's, and praise for Putin for bringing back traditional family values instead of degenerate western LGBT morals.

  • US cultural hegemony and cultural self-confidence

    Jump

  • I've played both Genshin and BOTW. Yes, Genshin heavily borrowed from BOTW. Genshin still has changed and added significantly more to the BOTW formula that I'd say it merits a playthrough. Art was always meant to be an iterative process and the idea of copying and stealing became popularized because art became a commodity to be exploited, not shared and explored mutually.

    Some notable Chinese gachas include Arknights and Honkai Starrail, which are considered to be superior to their Japanese or Western counterparts in the genre.

  • Even after we have highly developed communism, there's going to be plenty of pain to go around from physical wear and tear, loss of loved ones, family drama, romance, loss in competition, etc. so I think we're safe even if your premise holds true.

  • US cultural hegemony and cultural self-confidence

    Jump

  • I actually agree with you on this one that it's a very important issue and one that needs to be corrected sooner than later. The revolution will be exported culturally in the end.

    Is art like technolgical advancement in that you have to build up the know-how from the ground up?

    I suspect that this is the case, as the end products we see are not the result of a single artist, but of the industry behind it. Even discovering and nurturing talent is a pipeline that takes decades to develop. I see raw quality when I read some Chinese webnovels (Release That Witch, Lord of Mysteries) but the lack of experienced editing is glaringly obvious. Japanese mangakas like Toriyama had talented editing team behind him, but there is no Chinese equivalent currently. This gap becomes greater when it comes to bigger productions with more moving parts such as music or film. These structures take a long time to mature, and China didn't have enough time to develop them yet.

    I think you're underselling Chinese videogames though or you're discounting mobile games. I'd say that half of quality mobile games come from China. The Chinese esports scene is much more developed than the West and I consider it to be a cultural output as well. Not so coincidentally, these are industries with a much shorter history than manga or film.
