I’ll add some negativity to restore balance.

These local ruinations are just a temporary blip versus China’s hard demographic facts like how over the last 10 years their birth rate has crashed harder than the birth rate of the Jews during the Holocaust.

At first I read this as USPS delivered… I guess I need more coffee and less head cold.

I’ve seen enough anime to know that turning on the experimental fusion reactor in some Japanese prefecture is an event that doesn’t end well.

Foreign influence operations exist because they work.

It’s more that they’ve been in a long demographic decline since the USSR broke up, particularly among ethnic Russians. Of course 300K dead soldiers plus all the people who fled the country altogether sure as heck isn’t helping them either.

Besides the other answers, it trivializes them while making you put forth the tiniest effort towards one you might care about while you can discard the rest. The trick with phones isn’t in picking it up to look, but rather on putting it back down.

Same story, it’s just a question to what extent the software moves from being an unacceptable amount of assistance as a tool. Sports equipment follows the same story, at some point it’s regarded as cheating, we just haven’t established what that line is. Clearly there are people who don’t care what that line is and so long as it represents a competitive advantage to ignore that line then people will freely cross it.

This is a nice way of saying "Where in the name of cyka are those F-16s?”

You don’t need taxes when the government can just print more money endlessly. It’s a secret cheat code they only tell you at president school.

The author’s evidence is that he has none, therefore it’s the perfect operation. Assertions presented without evidence may be dismissed without evidence.

DO IT you pussy

They’re just examples picked because they upset the CCP, not just because they were corrupt.

The original quote yes, but at this point all the drones are largely Chinese.

They’d save everybody a whole lot of bother if they just said they did it.

Ukrainian drones, Russian drones, it all says made in China!
