Exactly. You know which country is most willing to see a war around China's border? The US. That's the most effective way it can form an anti-China aliance and hit its biggest rival.

Thanks for providing those channels. But I noticed the video creators are not in China but in US/Taiwan. Seems like propaganda more than truth.

Many mainland Chinese think the best approach for China-Taiwan issue is to just wait. It's not of the best interest of Chinese people (of both China and Taiwan) to change the status quo.

On the other side, the US obviously wants to see a war between the two side of the strait. And the US is actually prepareing for it.

The US will win in a non-war scenario, by using its influence over the other countries and isolating China from the US's western allies. It's an easy choice and seemingly an easy win.

A real military conflict with China near China's front door is another thing. I doubt anyone with some common sense should call that an easy win.

Very likely that the "musicians" that create those "music" are actually AIs.

Your info is accurrate. But I doubt anyone cares about it.

"Since 2011, the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has excluded the Chinese government and China-affiliated organisations from its activities, including using funds to host Chinese visitors at NASA facilities."

No, the current declining has nothing to do with the one child policy which has been removed for years. But the editors of the Economists obviously have more love for one-child-policy-topic than any real reasons.

For example, Chinese goverment? As a former Economist subscriber, I know there's an intended wording bias on their articles.

On the first sentence I read "Communist Party" and "Brutal". Good job, Economist!

About eighty years ago, the US assembled the top minds of nuclear physics, and the US military knew the potential of creating a weapon out of physics, then BOMB. Now the situation is the same, it's reasonable to think the US is the most advanced nation in cyber weaponary.

Blocking contents you don't like and call them govt-backed operations. That's genius!

As far as I know, Chinese government doesn't ask for your social media accounts but the US does.

You get the whole thing wrong.

In China, Toad King Warship (膜蛤文化) is very popular in some people, espcially young ones. There are tones of memes and internet jokes around that and obviously nobody gets into trouble because of it.

I don't know why your interviewer told you he was afraid. A wild guess is that he was one of those young people who loves Toad King Warship, and your ice frog reminded him of it. But it's hard to explain it to a foreigner (or he find it inappropriate to mention in an interview. it's a sub-culture anyway). So he just say he cannot say about it. As you further asked for reason, he gives you the answer you have in mind, by acting as victim of surveillance state (another culture thing).
