@[email protected] A community mod can’t appoint an admin as community mod apparently, so I have to ask you to do so yourself.

Going to add that under inhalants, thanks.

It’s only a /c/China community rule, and only when I’m still mod.

Well I was thinking of a larger banner that is above or below the navigation bar that’s at the top of the page, so that it is seen immediately.

This is a repost of https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5038926, and I (fact check police) disapprove of videos from this channel. Previous comment in response to question from cross-post to other communities:

I’ve seen someone share a video from this “Top Wonder” channel before, all videos and no text or sources, will not recommend to anyone.

Chinese news article that includes pictures that are related to scenes in the video: http://nmg.news.cn/20240423/c1c752c63a124776b19a04ba6029721f/c.html, it’s about various machinery used to combat desertification. The one you asked about is actually the “Jumang 301” (句芒301):

Old 2021 article on “crosshatching with straw” or “checkerboard barrier” https://global.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202102/05/WS601cb6d0a31024ad0baa781a.html

Chinese article on “checkerboard barrier”: https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1800622874211825823 Video: https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1794140909611479840

Your second link is to an old report in 2022, I have posted the link to the full text here: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5158390

There seems to be debate around mutual aid and political power in the comments. Let us recall this famous quote from Mao Zedong: 枪杆子里面出政权 “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” Other quotations that might be relevant can be found here: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/works/red-book/ch05.htm

Mutual aid must be sustained with resources, but more importantly it must be protected by an armed force. Do not forget the lessons paid in blood by revolutionaries throughout history. The history books are not even needed, because genocidal Zionists and their imperialist accomplices are reminding us continuously that one does not have to be communist to be a target for eradication.

PSA: Comrade Nguyễn Phú Trọng’s surname is Nguyễn, not “Trong”, his first name is Phú Trọng, not Trong.

NYT also made the same mistake, by referring to him as “Mr. Trong”: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/19/world/asia/nguyen-phu-trong-dead.html

This would be like referring to Mao Zedong as “Dong” or “Mr. Dong”.

Mr. Trong

American “journalism” folks.

Here’s another way to put it, a child might think parents are “communist” because they give food and shelter whenever needed, but how do the parents afford this food and shelter, by honest labour or by pillaging? You cannot single out a sector of the economy and label it something so antithetical to its relation within the overall economy.

So in the example of a “communist sector” such as healthcare in the UK, who produces the medicine and equipment, who funds the research and personnel, who builds the pharmacies and clinics/hospitals?

I think you might be referring to the Communist Youth League (CYL) of China.

I’ve unhidden the post.

It’s not required to provide sources, but I’m the Fact Checking police on Lemmygrad. I’m not well-read in history so I can’t comment on the overall accuracy of this post, but I noticed an error like “entire province of Qingdao” (Qingdao is a city in Shandong province), and “二十一条” can be better translated into “21 Demands” rather than “21 lines”. There are probably other things that can be improved but I’ll leave that to you.

Once you fix your post, add the book as a reference, and make it clear that this is your summary, I will unhide the post.

I thought we were talking about socialist revolution, these are examples of military aid for independence and liberation of African countries. China is still training African soldiers today, are we seeing socialist revolutions anywhere?

I think you might be misunderstanding something, not everyone who supports China supports Marxism/socialism/communism, and among those who do, not everyone is well-versed in theory or follows the activities of leftist people. In fact, you might find that Jackson Hinkle is seen somewhat positively on the Chinese media platforms he is on as he supports Palestine and claims to be communist.

While this isn’t really important, but the author of this piece is Martin Sieff, who I did not know until you made this comment. Here’s are short bios of him:

• https://www.theglobalist.com/contributors/martin-sieff/
• https://www.thenation.com/authors/martin-sieff/
• https://globalpi.org/expert/martin-sieff/

Basically he is from Northern Ireland, studied in British universities, worked in US media, connected to Russia, contributes to Chinese media. I think all this background information is too much for some to process.
