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.

Republicans have the easiest job in the world. They campaign on the idea that government is broken and ineffective. Once elected, they sabotage its functions, then use their own failure as proof that privatization is the only solution—ultimately enriching their friends.— David Hogg 🟧 (@davidhogg111) March 16, 2025

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer.

“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.”
