Can we be sure that you aren’t a pro-China, pro-Russia propaganda bot who says that tankies are ‘well-informed’ and who says the tankies’ cheering on Russia’s violent actions against Ukraine is just because they have ‘different values’ as one can see from your post history?

Generally they [China] have the best AI regulations worldwide.

This is pure propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party. Workers’ rights in China are among the weakest globally, and we see this at the moment in Chinese labour market.

The Chinese ruling you are referring to in you comment doesn’t forbid companies from using AI to automate certain roles held by humans, as stated by experts such as Moshe Lander, an economics professor at Canadian Concordia University,

Workers, the ruling says, “should also understand the strategic development needs of enterprises, continuously update and improve their professional skills through continuous learning, proactively adapt to the changes in artificial intelligence technology, promote the efficient application of AI technology in production practices, and foster a win-win situation of personal career growth and efficient enterprise development.”

Lander said the ruling, which was issued ahead of China’s Labour Day on May 1, was likely a messaging and “self-preservation” exercise for the ruling Chinese Communist Party given the potential widespread impact of AI-led labour disruptions.

Thanks. I provided an archived link. Doesn’t it work? (Here all seems fine.)

I watched this interview, and the most important detail in my opinion in this interview was he supports use of force on Taiwan, but he refuses to say why exactly. His arguments remain weak. Maybe the reason is money?

China has been Malaysia’s best trade deficit partner (and the deficits has quadrupled over the last ten years). As a ‘partner’ of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, Malaysia also seeks investments.

China’s special administrative region, Hong Kong, is Malaysia’s second largest foreign direct investment contributor (second only to Singapore, according to 2023 data). One prominent example was the investment by Chinese-owned INV New Material Technology in a lithium-ion battery plant in Penang.

Malaysia’s Port Klang plays also a growing role in shifting global supply chains.The Port Klang Free Zone has received a surge of inquiries from everywhere, but especially from China, not in the least as the country’s mercantilist policy seeks relief from higher US tariffs.

China is spending billions on many forms of disinformation campaigns in all countries. OpenAI recently identified two clusters of disinformation accounts, as one report says,

• The accounts are likely from a private Chinese company, that used ChatGPT to generate fake pro-American commentary opposing data centers.
• The ‘Data Center Bandwagon’ group operated from late 2025 to early 2026, posing on X as Americans via VPNs while prompting ChatGPT in Simplified Chinese.
• OpenAI rated the campaigns Category One on its Breakout Scale, meaning they stayed on one platform and generated virtually no authentic engagement.

As much as I dislike OpenAI and its management’s attitudes, it’s also clear that China is interfering also here. It’s common practice for Chinese disinformation campaigners to exploit existing issues to sow division among Western societies for its own gains.

It’s a misleading headline.

The article says that “the revisions … are seen as mildly positive for the housing market”, and given the experience with Chinese policies in its domestic market in recent years even this may seem exaggerated.

The Chinese government has been announcing many measures over the last couple of years to revive consumptoin, but most of them remained lip services. And even where concrete measures were taken, the effects were very limited.

I would do it, but I am banned, too :-)

You’re citing sources under the direct censorship regime of the Chinese Communist Party. This is useless.

Are you unfamiliar with western politics? The working class has absolutely no representation … but the Chinese people absolutely have a voice.

What holds you and the majority of ‘tankies’ back then? Why aren’t they emigrating to China or Russia? I heard the latter they are desperately looking for new citizens of late.

Edit: Btw, China’s Xi Jinping has frequently confirmed that he rejects social welfare as it would make people ‘lazy’. Both wealth and income inequality have been sharply rising in China over the last decade and have now reached U.S. levels.

What we call a social safety net including healthcare, education, elderly care comes mainly from the wider family in China and sometimes from local villages in the rural areas. The Chinese Communist Party’s widely proclaimed “socialism with Chinese characteristics” exists at best on paper, as the state never developed a system for social welfare and workers’s rights that comes even remotely to the high standards in many Western democracies.

China’s hukou system of residency compounds many social problems, stopping many rural migrants from obtaining urban residency and thus preventing them from accessing higher quality urban social services (Hukou is sort of a registration, but also classification system, employed to assign urban or specific rural residency status and, with it, an individual’s eligibility to obtain services).

The workers in China are represented by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU). It is the only trade union that is allowed in China - and it is led by Chinese Communist Party. China’s ‘996 working culture’ is legendary, and something that is prohibited by Western labour laws.

Please stop citing sources that are explicitly pro-China and pro-Russian, and, therefore, anti-democratic.

Greyzone is well-known to hire ex-'editors from Russia’s propaganda outlets RT and Sputnik, among them are Mohamed Elmaazi, Dan Cohen, Rania Khalek, Kit Klarenberg, Jeremy Loffredo, Wyatt Reed, Anya Parampil, Alex Rubinstein (you’ll find a lot of articles by them on the website).

Greyzone has also frequently echoing Chinese Communist Party propaganda, the outlet is even often cited by Chinese officials. As one article by ProPublica wrote in 2020,

When Hua Chunying, a spokeswoman for China’s Foreign Ministry, tweeted that reports of mass detention camps for China’s Uighur Muslim minority were the “LIE of the CENTURY,” she cited an article in the Grayzone, a website founded by Max Blumenthal, a frequent contributor to RT and the Russian-controlled Sputnik news agency. Similarly, Chinese government spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s tweet that the coronavirus originated in the U.S. cited a website previously found by NATO to spread Russian propaganda.

The independent media outlet Coda Story published an article on how Max Blumenthal, the founder of Grayzone, downplayed Beijing’s actions in Xinjiang on international TV. In Enter the Grayzone: fringe leftists deny the scale of China’s Uyghur oppression, it states,

On July 25 [2020], Max Blumenthal, the founder and editor of the far-left news site The Grayzone, went on Going Underground, a current affairs show broadcast by the Russian state-controlled TV channel RT. On air, he questioned the scale of the detention of Uyghurs in camps in China’s northwestern Xinjiang province …

Blumenthal’s statements met with outrage online and many social media users accused him of ignoring one of the largest-scale human rights violations of the 21st century …

There is much more across the web. Your sources are outright rubbish.

This is not a ‘brain drain’ from Taiwan because of poor labour conditions. Chinese companies - often concealing their identities and pretending to be Taiwanese - are trying to poach away tech talent. Your comment reverses the meaning of this article if I may say so.

The archived link works fine here.

This @Alcoholicorn is one of these tankies. They frequently defend China with weird and often objectively false arguments as we have seen a few days ago. You can save your breath here I would say.

The annual assessment of threats posed by neighbouring China, Russia and North Korea calls for Japan, constrained for decades by postwar restrictions on military activity, to harness technology, to fund startups and use more commercial components in weapons production.

It’s sad that we must build up defense, but with neighbours posing ongoing threats there is no other choice, unfortunately.

You’ll find multiple very reliable sources across the web with simple searches. Regarding the the Center’s ties with the CCP, Wang’s book about Chinese narrative ‘models’ or and this multiple functions in the Chinese party-state’s bureaucracy. The latter is even widely cited in Chinese state media.

The linked video is apparently an interview with Zoon Ahmed Khan, analyst and fellow at the Center for China and Globalization …

The Center for China and Globalization (CCG), based in Beijing, is a member of an alliance of similar organizations, coordinated by the International Department of the Chinese Communist Party.

The CCG was jointly founded in Beijing in 2008 by Wang Huiyao, a Chinese State Council advisor who is still the organization’s president, and Mabel Miao, the current vice-president and secretary-general. They are the authors of a book, which deals with the question of “how to create new narrative methods and models” for China.

Wang Huiyao is also associated with the United Front Work Department (UFWD), a networks of groups and key individuals that are influenced or controlled by the Chinese Communist Party to advance the interests of the Chinese party-state.

Wang plays multiple policy advisory roles in China in addition to counselor for the State Council (appointed by Premier Li Keqiang in 2015), e.g., as honorable vice chairman of China Association for International Economic Cooperation (CAIEC) under the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. He has also served as a director of the China Overseas Friendship Association, an external name for the Ninth Bureau of the UFWD of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. Wang is also vice chairman of the Western Returned Scholars Association, which is under the jurisdiction of the United Front Work Department.[

This is a very tiny summary of the Center for China and Globalization and its founder. You’ll easily find multiple sources about this organization and its founders.

As everything else related to the CCG, the linked video is nothing but a propaganda film by the Chinese government.
