Not sure what he's implying, is he saying China will be reviving the USSR/RFSR?

Its so depressing that these people can proudly support two of the most murderous and evil regimes in human history. Hitler has nothing on either of these countries, yet you are allowed to celebrate these two openly but not the Nazis.

Germany attempted a large-scale, preplanned genocide of various "undesirables" in a very industrial manner, with specially assembled camps and equipment and processes for that very purpose. That had never really been done before or since, at least until China started "re-educating" Uighurs in the modern day. Even worse, Germany attempted to do it to citizens of other nations that they were invading in the process. If they just stuck to German Jews, people would've been horrified but nobody would've tried to invade Germany for it. Same reason China escapes some of the Nazi comparisons because Uighurs are technically "Chinese citizens" so it's mostly a Chinese internal matter.

Soviet Union didn't try to deliberately genocide an entire race out of existence, they just accidentally did it, so they're OK-ish. Maoist China mostly screwed over their own citizens and nobody gives a fuck about the Chinese. Most people don't care about various third-world shitholes like Cambodia or whatever doing ethnic cleansing on their own citizens. Ottoman Empire committed the first "officially" recognized genocide of the 20th century with the Armenians but because it was a spur-of-the-moment response to dealing with a potential fifth column in the East, rather than a preplanned, deliberate extermination because of ideological reasons, they kind of get a pass. German Empire did some absolutely horrific shit to the Belgians in WW1 (which also inspired the Ottomans) but they're still fine because it was war time. Britain committed multiple atrocities that could be easily counted as genocide against India, yet nobody except Indians really gives a fuck because it was just general colonial evil.

This is why Nazi Germany is singled out. Oh yeah and also because Jews. Germany paid fuck all reparations to gypsies because everyone hates gypsies.

A day old but:


And while this youtuber is Pro-PRC, he definitely doesn't care for America leftists:

And he even believes there's nothing wrong with being Christian, for someone that is Pro-PRC:


I saw another Youtuber named Nathna Rich who's pro-PRC. He seems to enjoy licking China's boots.

And not directly linked to the South China Sea but take this news with a grain of salt.

Russia, despite their friendly relations with China. Will abandon them if a war or an international dispute occurs, only because china would do the same.
Despite that, China has more to lose than russia on the principle that russia has been less aggresive on the world market or trade compared to china who's leader has tried to force their markets into the west.

If a free market should exist, do not accept chinese money. (as hypocritical as that sounds) Do not accept money based on politics. Do not accept money based on Convenience. For the love of god, Do not accept money from people who want an interest fulfilled if you want to sell entertainment, (BLIZZARD, NBA, ACTIVISION)

russia is not as aggressive as the CCP when it comes to world politics despite what your friendly democrat will tell you, even though russia is a corrupt shithole

Taiwan calls for global coalition against China's aggression as US official flies in
Taipei speaks of ‘real possibility’ of war as US undersecretary for economic affairs pays visit that Beijing regards as provocative

Taiwan’s foreign minister has called for the international community to help defend his country against an intensifying military threat from China, fearing “a real possibility” of war.
The comments from the minister, Joseph Wu, come before the expected arrival on Thursday in Taiwan of the US undersecretary for economic affairs, Keith Krach, with a delegation for a two-day visit.
In an editorial late on Wednesday, Chinese state media outlet the Global Times said Taiwan was “destroying their strategic manoeuvring ability by completely siding with the US”, increasing the risk of a military conflict. It said country-level engagement with Taiwan was “the biggest change to the status quo” in cross-strait relations and a continuing source of tension.

Taiwan’s ministry of foreign affairs said it trusted the visit would “deepen friendship and strengthen relations between likeminded partners”.
Wu’s comments echoed earlier calls by President Tsai Ing-wen for a coalition of countries to take a stand against “authoritarian aggression” as China ramps up military and economic pressure in the region.
There have been reports of unprecedented US arms sales to Taiwan, including mines, cruise missiles and drones, on the eve of Krach’s visit.

Wu told France 24 TV that Taiwan was “on the front line defending democracies from being taken over by the communist China” and needed help.
“We have been trying very hard in the last few years to beef up our own defence capabilities and at the same time we also want to let the international community understand that Taiwan as a democracy has been threatened by China, which is an authoritarian country which is trying to expand its influence,” Wu said. He gave as examples China’s actions in the South China Sea, Hong Kong and on its disputed border with India.

“We feel that like-minded countries or fellow democracies need to pay more attention to this area and come to each other’s help so that China’s expansionist motivation can be deterred.”
Although the Chinese Communist party has never ruled Taiwan, Beijing considers Taiwan a part of China and has accused the Tsai-led government of separatism. Beijing has never ruled out taking Taiwan by force, and recent months in particular have seen an increase in defence build-ups and military drills. Wu said more than 30 People’s Liberation army aircraft had crossed into Taiwan’s air defence identification zone recently.

The minister said Taiwan appreciated the US “continuing to show its presence in this region”, adding: “I think this is a show to the Chinese side that its military threat against other peace-loving countries wouldn’t have been tolerated.”
The US does not have formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan but under Donald Trump has been increasingly supportive of Tapei, both for its successful response to the pandemic and stance against China’s aggression.

On Thursday, Reuters reported the US was planning to sell as many as seven weapons systems to Taiwan, a rare concentration of sales after years of spaced-out transactions.

Under the Taiwan Relations Act the US supplies the Taiwanese government with arms, the quantity and quality of which the then president, Ronald Reagan, said in 1982 was determined “entirely on the threat posed by the PRC [People’s Republic of China]”.

The US has announced more than $23bn in arms sales to Taiwan in the past 10 years, according to a Department of Defence 2019 report.

Taiwan’s defence ministry declined to comment on the reported arms sales, saying it handled such talks in a low-key and confidential way, and would wait until there was formal notification to Congress of any sales.

Earlier this month China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, accused the US of directly interfering in territorial and maritime disputes in the region, flexing its muscle and reinforcing its military deployment. “Such acts are becoming the biggest factor fuelling militarisation in the South China Sea,” Wang said.

Krach is scheduled to attend a memorial service for the late Taiwanese president Lee Teng-hui and will also discuss “how to strengthen bilateral economic cooperation”, the US state department said.

Krach’s visit follows the announcement of a new economic dialogue between the two governments, a high-level visit by the US health secretary, Alex Azar, and by the Czech parliamentary speaker whose visit sparked a diplomatic spat with China that drew in other European nations.

TL;DR, Taiwan mans up and decides its a free democratic nation, US decides to make big-ass arms sales to celebrate, ChiCom hoes mad.

Well, they have Tai Chi being praised by the party as a way to become invincible, which has been proven hilariously wrong by a single trained MMA fighter. Needless to say, the Party has done their best to crush him. No idea if they teach that to their soldiers, but I doubt they discourage them from learning it.
 

I can't imagine

I have a question, does the Chinese army have any sort of the insane fake martial arts they teach their soldiers?

Considering their struggles to find people with more than a middle school education, it's probably best they stick to training their guys on the advanced tactical combat approach of "point gun at thing and shoot".

Seriously, though, they have a pretty massive training problem in the PLA; bad enough that they don't even really try sweeping it under the rug. I think they might train people in some fundamental hand-to-hand combat, probably "borrowed" from countries better known for that sort of thing, but I'd suspect if it was something impressive they'd show it off. Lord knows they'd want something to make their army look good.

Seriously, I'd be willing to kick Chinese ass to disprove Tai Chi being useful beyond keeping you moving and spry when you're old (which it's wonderful for, the circular motions are great for ROM retention)
I think everyone that's seen Ip Man 3 knows about what would happen in a real fight though. Tyson only held the kill shot because the bell rang. If the match was 3:01 Ip Man would have had a new Tyson-fist-sized crater in his skull and known the pain of thousands of Nintendo players in the 80's and 90's.

E: Hey, I found a clip of it!

For the people that actually want to learn how to kick ass, go learn boxing and jiu jitsu - at least as the first ones on the road to said kicking ass.

And make sure you LEARN THE CONCEPTS of each school, like boxing's Sweet Science shit and jiu jitsu's groundfighting/throws shit.
 
They might be drafting them as a reserve guard to free up their front-line troops.
Their cities have exploded in population over the last couple decades. They're going to need more rural servicemen to put the boot on the urban population while their urban soldiers are out putting the boot to the rural populations. Just rebalancing the scales.
