Will Xi deploy Chinese military assets to join the party in Syria?
>getting involved in some tangential conflict between your two main competitors with no direct benefit to you
You wouldn't be good at the whole geopolitics thing. China must use its strength smartly, not get itself bogged down in unrelated shit, so they can reclaim their top dog role in East Asia. The Middle East is a basket case, a huge bog of quicksand where great powers have created their own quagmires.
If China is smart, they won't make the same mistake as Operation Iraqi Freedom or the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Where should he go next, /sino/?
Cat cloning by ViaGen Pets allows cat owners to extend the opportunity for the unique happiness and companionship that a beloved cat brings. Cats add a special presence to a home, and the relationship that forms over the years between a cat owner and his or her cat is unique. We know this from firsthand experience—many of us are cat owners ourselves. ViaGen is the word leader in animal cloning and reproductive technology. Over the past 15 years, we’ve invested significantly to advance the groundbreaking technology behind these processes.
Im gonna see him again bros.
Why do all Mandarin textbooks suck /sino/
when was the last time you hugged your cat?
me: 2 minutes ago
Maybe if you think everything or everyone sucks, it might be you who sucks...
Not as in being unhelpful, but they all seem to stop around lower-intermediate level. I can order food at the neighborhood dumpling place and read their menu, but I wanna be reading the newspaper and discussing our countries' futures. Is Anglos' idea of being fluent just being able to order food? What gives?
Pho real he's leavin?
Oh well, I won't have to vicariously live through him anymore since I'm goin back to China in the Fall.
He became really jaded and all.
Hmmm....
Maybe I can help you by suggesting some higher level stuff.
What level would you say you're at? I have a trove of textbooks in me library.
(apologies: I didn't mean to say you suck)
Hard to tell what level: conversational but not fluent, reading menus and internet forums and roadsigns but not novels and newspapers.
Where you going to be living lad? I'm off to Beijing next month
peru? what are your thoughts on Zuckerberg getting roasted by the senate peru?
why did the tribe turn on him peru? I thought he was part of the chosen peru
>Pho real he's leavin?
Not yet.
Why don't you talk more about your vietnam trip peru?
What about his wife?
leave her there and find a yuonger one
what if peru goes to japan 2019?
if a person is white and shills for china, they only shill for china because they chinese girls were the first females to show them positive attention and/or offer up their pussies to them
but if a person is white and shills for china, but doesn't get any pussy, then that person is a pure cuckold
>if a person is white and shills for china, they only shill for china because they chinese girls were the first females to show them positive attention and/or offer up their pussies to them
Probably or they're deluded diaspora or 10 years old.
do it
i've met some whites who are unironically commieboos
A lot of impressionable people who go full retard in college
It sounds like you're at where I was after finishing second year. In my intermediate phase, to move on from simple to more complex readings, I used two textbooks primarily.

乐在沟通 (le4zai4gou1tong1) is breddy good to learn how to read adult-level materials.
Across the Straits introduces you to more mature and complicated conversation stuff; i.e. talking bout politics and religion etc.
Furthermore there's another series called 新视角 (xin1shi4jiao3) which is a bit outdated but has useful grammars and vocabularies.
I'll be livin in Nanjing but I'm definitely taking some time to visit BJ and other cities.
I can't help but feel he creates a lot of his own problems. I never had half of these predicaments.

America joining TPP bad for China, correct?
Wtf happened to Fourchang yesterday?
How exactly? Abe and Xi shook hands last year and spoke for a few hours.
definitely, the whole point of TPP is to stop China's clout
An extremely brainlet viewpoint, but commonly shared. TPP is much less important than people make it out to be.
Furthermore, a China that is forced to open its markets and liberalize its economy (like for the WTO in 2001), would only make China stronger long-term.
I’m a big free trader and dislike China’s protectionist policies because they hurt China and piss of its trading partners. The US joining the TPP is good for China long-term.
Trump specified we need a full renegotiation process if we are to consider it, and next year the Democrats will almost surely control the House.
So I’d put the chances at about 10% before 2021.
No. That’s a fucking meme. How does it even hurt China?
The trade barriers between the US and the 11 members are already extremely low. We have FTAs with seven of those nations.

>No renegotiation, TPP members state
SEXPATS IRREVERSIBLY BTFO
They will eventually get involved for a couple of reasons:
1. Belt and Road
2. Oil
3. Rare earth metals
Pretty much inevitable.
I am an East Asian nationalist with a wife and kids.
Don’t know what that makes me.
China is involved in the mideast.
But not militarily. They operate via economic companies and aid organizations.
>Be Trump in 2015-16

>wtf I HATE China now
>start trade war
>realize anti-China trade pact could help you
>now President of the US has to beg weaker countries to rejoin the pact that America created after you quit it
Like literally what the fuck goes on in this man's head. I swear on me mum, he's got to have dementia. Or he just got an F in geopolitics at UPenn.
They don't have to get involved militarily with Syria. Syria ain't that rich in resources and they got strong working relations with Iran, Russia and Saudi Arabia for dat petrol. Even if they get deeper involved in MENA region, I doubt they'll ever go full on GW Bush.
because it strengthens america's already strong sphere of influence in the area
Just like the US.
They also sell weapons there. Just like the US.
They will eventually become militarily involved. Just like the US.
China is starting to plant its stakes in the region. After all, there's a reason why they're putting so much money into their navy. Just like the US.
Not Syria in particular, but the fact is that China's strategic and economic interests in the Middle East and Africa are growing.
I feel bad for Syrians, most of my friends didn't even care about it. Just like how what we did in Libya and now everyone forgot about Gaddafi.
Yeah but I doubt China will go all military interventionist. They'd have to become a global superpower to do that, and the US will remain the top dog for at least 3 more decades.
I mean China is doing everything to not take over Taiwan by force. Why would they do something even more extreme in areas far from China?
Prozzie's gf is pretty fucking ugly bros
can you do better
I've done better, yes
Trump is a meme
What did you expect?
How? We already have a FTA with every relevant country in the region.
I’ll wait for Trump to actually announce something substantial. Until then he is shitposting. He did this in January as well with TPP. Nothing happened for three more months.
We still are negotiating NAFTA and other trade deals. Not to mention China.
There just is no time for TPP during this administration. Maybe the next one.
No they don't. France intervenes all the time in Africa. The UK went to war with Argentina. You don't need to be an acknowledged superpower to stage military interventions. All you need are adequate capabilities, and China has been building up towards those. It will take time, but China is moving fast in that direction.
China more or less gets what it wants from Taiwan at this point in time, or at least as much as is palatable considering the risks involved. The risk of conflict with the US over Taiwan is too high for them to press further demands. The risk/reward balance is not necessarily the same in other parts of the world. China may get fewer rewards for military intervention elsewhere, but if the risks are low, then they might as well go for it.
China has little desire to become involved militarily in the mideast
US, Brazilian, and Russian oil makes them much less dependent on the Persian Gulf than the US was in the last thirty years.
Sorry user. I just don’t see how your argument fits. China is not there militarily, and that is why I don’t see things changing much.
Why are the commie elites giving Hainan so much attention lately
This BLACK man in China is laying down some red pills for anti-Trump soyboys and commie Cubano eurasians
At least thanks to Trump we now know what happens when memes become reality and take control. He's like a living meme, and the first one to actually have power.
Reminds me of that moment from the simpsons movie..
youtube.com
Memes are all fun and games, until ya give 'em the nuclear codes.
Can't we just go back to making scat pepes or whatever?
To the first point: I think China's leadership realizes they're stronger now but still in a precarious stage of development. Fuck up something too badly and all the progress could go down the shitter. Military quagmire in the middle east could be just like Afghanistan was to the USSR.
Plus just in general at this stage I don't see how they can stand to gain anything by going in there. They need the military focused on Taiwan and countering the US in the Pacific. Furthermore, they won't get any material benefit from it. I mean hell, as an American, WE stand nothing to gain by sticking our troops in Iraq, and other countries probably took note of that.
To the second point, yeah if the rewards were high and risks low, maybe. Like the small-scale rescue ops they did for Chinese citizens in Yemen. But I doubt they'll do any bold, revisionist shit in the ME for many decades, if they ever get that bug.
They need the Middle East for very much the same reasons why the US needs it. Resources. Markets. Access to trade. Simply sitting on their laurels will not guarantee economic growth, let alone supremacy; they need to take action in order to ensure that they will stay on top in the future.
China needs more resources of everything to feed its growing economy, particularly rare earth minerals like lithium. Currently it is the world's largest supplier by far, but the next stage of technological evolution will place far greater demands for these minerals than now, and there are potential sources to be mined in Central Asia. The US and other countries starting to close off capital access to companies and resources, and for that reason it is desirable for the Chinese to secure access to ones which may be more readily put under their thumb.
Again, I wish to highlight the whole "Belt and Road" initiative. The whole point is to secure access for exports and imports, but it is also a sphere in which the US does not have as much control, unlike the Pacific. The reality of such an endeavour is that China will necessarily need to secure areas through which its routes pass, which includes countries like Syria. That will necessarily entail a more extensive military presence abroad.
If China doesn't really have any global military presence, it is because it has yet to really secure any bases outside of the Pacific. I expect that to change in coming decades. After all, they're already building a base in Afghanistan.
how does nations as the Philippines (population 100 million) barely needs any resources from abroad?
my cat = tupac
me = the bald black man.
Looks like I gotta become the next China vlogger
?
No idea what you mean by that. I know little about Southeast Asia, but the Philippines have been Canada's number one source of immigrants for a couple of years now, and that is mainly because they come here to work and send remittances for their families back home.
foodie vids please
>Didi Chuxing plans for global expansion
Man, I remember when they were just a small startup... they were called Xiao Didi Chuxing.
ayyyyy
>global expansion
You mean used by chinks in Vancouver and Toronto?
Amazing what you can do when the government bans your competitors.
How’s your shengnu gf doing
Perhaps. I think they can get what they need now via trade, but the trade channels are always threatened by potential American military action. If the US military wanted to, they could easily cut off trade going through the Red Sea, Mediterranean or SCS to choke China's economy. Ergo they're strengthening their naval presence.
>letting experienced foreign MNC's squash local companies that can provide the same service
>especially when the MNC comes straight fro your biggest geopolitical rival
>and your economy is nowhere near as strong yet
Economic policy must have patriotic and defense dimensions to it.

Found proof of collusion
Why do you find so many obscure 4000 view videos on youtube?
When was Uber banned?
It spent $50 billion in two years operating in China. Then they got a 20% share of a company whose share prices rose 400% since then.
Doesn’t seem banned to me.
Why is China letting niggers run amok in their country? This game by "Super sell" is basically the tech equivalent of a Nigerian 401 scam. Notice now the opening to the beach is narrower, this is because the beach is meant to resemble a certain orifice.
I think the meeting between Don Jr and a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower, him personally leaking secret info to visiting Russian diplomats, and actively calling Russians to hack Hillary's emails, would suffice for proof.
Christmas Celebrations
They were forced to do that because foreign competition quickly gets banned in China. Look at Google, Facebook and YouTube
But Uber never was banned
They literally operated for seven years and got defeated in a free market competition. If they were banned why did they get a huge 20% stake in Didi-Chuxing? Who likes sharing 20% of their profits with a banned competitor?
Because for 8 years they were not banned, and they're still allowed to own shares.
This is what happens in china, when a domestic company wants to dominate they use their guanxi with the government to get their rival foreign business banned.
China is not a free market.
Bump.
>China
you just described asia
uber here was literally beaten (with baseball bats), then grab (rival) co-opted the system and co-operated with local taxi mafias; then finally uber is beaten in terms of business
Internet taxi, how innovative /s
Wow Jow Forums is dying
The gookmoot finally killed it
Thank God

Hi Khomeini, how many Satans are there currently?
When did bobby hill become a meme in China
American imperialism is the GREAT Satan.
There are many lesser ones, some less visible.
Memes flow like water through the Yellow River throughout the world.
You'd be surprised how obscure American shit gets meme steam in China.
Happiness and luck....
