We will continue to post and upvote Chinese state media, if this offends you then feel free to crawl back to reddit where you belong.

Unless you live in a handful of countries that have their own independent media, you’re still consuming western sludge which is shaping your view of the world.

Ah yes, IMF and Financial Times, two organizations notoriously famous for spreading Russian propaganda. The levels of delusion within the Western world are reaching new heights as mainstream media begins to acknowledge the truth behind the situation at hand. It’s truly a comical spectacle, with laughter being the only appropriate response. 😂

Should check the date on that link of yours. These were copium projections that everybody now admits were way off base.

We are absolutely living through the biggest geopolitical realignment since WW2.

I’m sure Europeans are absolutely thrilled to be paying a huge markup on the oil they used to get directly from Russia.

It’s not, but it doesn’t discriminate against socialist states which is a huge step forward.

I really think we’re entering an inflection point where there is sufficient critical mass that makes it possible for countries to band together and resist the empire. And the war in Ukraine has been the catalyst for this. The west ended up being sucked into a conflict on a scale it simply wasn’t prepared for. A huge chunk of the existing western military assets ended up being committed to Ukraine which necessarily weakened western grip on the west of the world. Meanwhile, the economic war on Russia resulted in the creation of a whole new economy that’s operating outside western control. BRICS is now a bigger economic bloc than the entire G7, and this trend will only accelerate now.

People who’ve become invested in a propaganda narrative that’s now falling apart.

No we have not been making any great strides in any tangible reconciliation. Liberals have been making great strides in convincing the feeble minded that there’s any reconciliation happening.

A far cry from how Qatar treats regular people. But keep trying.

Great way to let us know that you’re a racist.

That’s precisely what I’d expect as well, and what APIs in languages like Java do.

I’m guessing that reading comprehension isn’t one of your strong suites.

China has an actual concrete plan for transition off fossil fuels. Initial stages still require coal to produce power to build out the infrastructure. A study in the second link found that China’s use of coal is perfectly in line with the plan in the first link.

So, kinda doesn’t negate that, does it?

This is literally how every sane API works in languages built by adults. For example, here’s what happens in Java:

java.time.LocalDate.of(2023, 3, 31)
> #object[java.time.LocalDate 0x2bc77260 "2023-03-31"]
java.time.LocalDate.of(2023, 3, 31).minusMonths(1)
> #object[java.time.LocalDate 0xac0dc15 "2023-02-28"]
java.time.LocalDate.of(2023, 3, 31).minusMonths(2)
> #object[java.time.LocalDate 0x44b9305f "2023-01-31"]

I have no idea where people get this notion that a month isn’t a defined size. Do people just not understand the concept of a month?

The amount of people arguing that this is a fine behavior in this thread makes the whole thing even funnier.

He’s on record saying some pretty disturbing shit.
