This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

China tends to take a 1000 year perspective on things..

In the west we can hardly think 3 months ahead of the present moment.

But they also tend to push forward with a decisions long after it's clear there needs to be a change, only to drastically turn the wheel from one day to the other. For example the one child policy and zero covid.

Well aside from the crippling debt their strategy seems sound.
