Henry Kissinger often highlighted the strategic differences between Chinese and Western approaches, emphasizing China’s reliance on long-term, indirect strategies inspired by their cultural and historical traditions. He famously compared Chinese strategy to weiqi (go), a game focused on strategic encirclement and gradual accumulation of advantage, contrasting it with chess, which prioritizes decisive victories and direct confrontations.

From Tangle newsletter on Trump's address to Congress.: > Trump is still repeating a lot of nonsense about Social Security payments to 150-year-old Americans. To recap: We know the Social Security Administration (SSA) issues erroneous payments. Last year the SSA inspector general found $71.8 billion in improper payments from 2015 to 2022 (about 0.84% of the $8.6 trillion in payments over that time). Another inspector general report from 2021 found that the SSA made $298 million in payments to 24,000 dead beneficiaries. But Musk has made much more sweeping claims on X and is pretending DOGE uncovered this. A lot of people explained to Musk that he was misunderstanding the data he was looking at, but he has not corrected the record. Now the president is running with it, even after his own appointed Social Security administrator said “recent reporting” (from Musk and Trump) was misinforming people about fraudulent payments.

Biden's economic theory was that you can rapidly increase the wages of the poorest workers and the ensuing inflation could be mitigated with a soft landing. This proved correct, and voters hated it so much that no one will ever try it again.

“Return To Dust is an award winning movie about the very poor in rural China. Lots of Chinese citizens thought it was over dramatized just to win foreign awards & make China look bad. State media had to step in & say, no, ppl do live like this, it’s you guys who are out of touch.”
