Did you know the factories produce what the buyer requests? Our problem is crappy Chinese products, but that's exactly what our buyers want. The cheapest cost, lowest-quality goods to fill their dollar-store shelves. Chinese will produce whatever you want, but if you're going to the manufacturing cities playing factories off against each other to shave pennies and cut corners, they'll give you what you ask for.

Central Intelligence Agency Director William J. Casey helped back the formation of the Jamestown Foundation, agreeing with its complaints that the U.S. intelligence community did not provide sufficient funding for Soviet bloc defectors. Color me surprised.

Excellent logic. I think, based on no evidence whatsoever, not even a video on the YouTubes, that these particular statistics are wrong, therefore I shall base further assumptions and conclusions on my fantasy guess and declare them beyond reproach and anyone who disagrees is a Put, errr, a Xi-bot. And as proof of rampant crime, claim that random guy says he knows a random guy that overheard a random thing from some random dudes in a random Starbucks, so it's the indisputable Truth.

Why focus on consumer goods and infrastructure? They're making wunderwafffles, too. China tests non-nuclear hydrogen bomb, unleashing 1,000°C fireball https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/china-tests-non-nuclear-hydrogen-bomb-unleashing-1-000-c-fireball/ar-AA1Dh5K0

Is that the three little boats that never got closer than 250 nautical miles from Australia? Whatever happened to "Freedom of Navigation" under the rules-based international order? Shirley, it was a thing when Australia and New Zealand sent their warships through the Taiwan Province Strait last year.

Oh, is it time for a visit from Tel Aviv again?

Gish was a creationist. A Gish gallop is a rhetorical tactic in which a debater quickly runs through an extended series of falsehoods, misrepresentations, and shoddy arguments that are impossible to refute in the context of the debate format. The term was coined in 1994 by anthropologist Eugenie Scott, then the director of the National Center for Science Education, and named after young-Earth creationist Duane Gish, who was fond of using the technique in debates with scientists over evolution. Gish did not invent the technique, which is as old as debate itself. https://www.wordorigins.org/big-list-entries/gish-gallop The point is to inundate the opponent with a stream of talking points meant to confuse the audience, not giving the opponent time to debunk each falsehood. They are not figments of the imagination, but rather simply items on a script. They exist as ideas, but not necessarily in reality. There are websites to link to, with articles discussing reports containing paraphrased quotes by anonymous sources. List ten Falun Gong talking points, opponent debunks the first, respond with ten more talking points, or link to dozens of propaganda videos produced or funded by Falun Gong and distributed by one of their many Youtube channel cutouts.

Hmmm...........or could it be we've made our AI's too adept, that they are now capable of seeing through the western propaganda, and find that some of what we like to call Russian disinformation are simply facts that don't agree with our preferred, government-approved narrative?

With the loss of $15 Trillion from the stock market and utter devastation on 401K's and retirement portfolios, how many Americans have $800 to spend these days? Maga's are having enough trouble finding the $79.99 to order new red hats from China. "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

That's if you presume anything actually happened outside of literature. I'm sure there are documentaries where Rowlingists debate the true meaning behind Harry Potter's mother sacrificing herself, and how many sin-eaters can dance on the head of a bowtruckle.

Gish gallop The Gish gallop is a rhetorical technique where a person overwhelms their opponent in a debate by presenting a rapid series of numerous arguments, often lacking accuracy or strength, making it difficult for the opponent to respond to all of them. This strategy prioritizes the quantity of arguments over their quality, often leading to confusion and misrepresentation. Padding your walls of text with repurposed anecdotes and recycled propaganda won't change minds.............or reality.

If by sit on his golden toilet and tweet nonsense, then yes. "Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country,"

Hahhahahaha! "China Insider with David Zhang", Falun Gong Youtube channel. Well, that's credible!

Boeing, you say?

...the planemaker's flagship delivery plant outside Shanghai .... ... Another arrived last week at Zhoushan, where Boeing installs interiors and paints liveries before handing over to customers, https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-delivery-plant-china-latest-hot-spot-tariff-war-2025-04-17/

737 Max. Did it survive the return flight?

More likely the C919 is to Boeing what Chinese high-speed rail is to Amtrak.

Cutting ourself off from the world's largest aviation market, the world's largest automobile market, the world's largest mooncake market, and projected to be the world's largest consumer market by 2030........44DD chest is what that is! Winning!©

I said, “Nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars.” They said, “You have no authority. You’re not the president.” The president said—I said, “Call him.” I said, “I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars.” I said, “You’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours.” I looked at them and said, “I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.” Well, son of a bitch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time. https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/biden-reportedly-bragged-about-the-firing-of-a-prosecutor-who-was-investigating-his-sons-firm/

You left out the most important........proven woman beater. Grabbed 'em by the ballot box. Heck, they let 'em do it. Trump won the Electoral College with 304 votes compared to 227 votes for Hillary Clinton. As Trump secured 295 electoral votes to Harris' 226

At least Don Jr. can pay his rent without having to barter poop art.

Would you find it acceptable if Hun....oops, I mean Don Jr. were "hired" to "work" on a corporate board for which he never makes any appearances in an industry where he has no experience? Would it make it bigly more acceptable if Trump promised to fire any persecutors that were looking into the corporations corruption?

Look! I found a videos! On the Youtubes! Videos of the same demolition shot at different angles were published by USA Today and China Observer. https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-does-viral-video-show-china-destroying-unfinished-high-rises-1783119
