Biden calls China a 'ticking time bomb' due to economic troubles - Lemmy

I don’t know about China, but Biden is really throwing stones from glass houses here as the leader of a country which is teetering on the edge of civil war, had a full blown insurrection in the past few years, and not only has it failed to prosecute the leader and instigator, it has allowed him to run for election again and there is a possibility of him being elected.

And this is not mentioning that so many in the highest offices “on both sides” are so hilariously corrupt in a country with its national ethos being “the land of the free”.

I’m not happy about this by the way, I don’t think a world order built by China would be better than the shitty one we got from the US.

I do to be honest.

Go live there for a few years and tell us more on your way back.
I’m going there in February for a few months. Looking forward to it.
I’m in Shanghai a few times a year on business and really have to double check that I have multiple VPN options available before leaving. Had a coworker have his phone checked at customs but we always bring dedicated “China-only” cell phones and laptops. They seem to be getting more on top of crushing outside communications but I always get at least one connection working when there. Last time it was an ssh tunnel to an AWS instance that I used to route traffic. Before that it was ExpressVPN which gave me trouble on the last visit. China is playing whack a mile with the VPNs.
Wow it’s almost like the great firewall is trivial to circumvent and countless millions of people do it every day.
