US Politics

Who actually tries to go to China? There are many reasons why you wouldn't even put them on the shortlist and immigration policy isn't one of them.

Why What's wrong with China?
Do you just read what the west propaganda says about it? Not really much difference between them and us these days apart from immigration policy 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Universities are now a hot-bed of leftie woke dogma.

And Trump has frozen the money from Harvard.

nice.

Watch all the purple-haired bolt-nosed loons running around in an apoplexy. Now that the real World has rattled their Ivory Towers. Had they moderated their views, for the last twenty years, maybe they wouldnt have suffered a Conservative backlash.

Hong Kong is part of China but like Macau retains it's own identity and laws, civil service, trade agreements, aviation links etc etc.

Many professionals, particularly in the high tech sectors are going into China, the chip sector is very active, as is education, financial services and many others.

If you only know what you see in the Western media you get a very skewed view IMO

Trump's sit down with Carney was brutal - I don't know what Carney can really do about it to be honest.

Very tough times ahead for Canada.

I have no idea on what you base this assertion. The reports I have read suggest Carney held his own, was diplomatic and measured in his comments afterwards and kept much of what was said private. Both have called the meeting positive and constructive. There are any number of reports that could be referenced, but brutal is not a word used in any of them.

Trump going off on a tangent about Obama’s library was another demonstration of his worsening instability. Very difficult to have a meaningful discussion with someone who is doing a convincing impression of a nutter.

You would be surprised.

Some ex pat on from Cambodia on video the other day was saying how their Police round up Africans who enter the country illegally quite regularly.

If it's a poorer country and they have the means or connections it's obvious that this happens.

It's just that Europe is the obvious soft touch with its boomer welfare state and leftist soft underbelly.

But getting to Europe is an exploitation racket and comes with significant cost and risk.

I agree with both of you.

China, like Russia, aren't countries we want to emulate (even though we are going that way). However, we trade and work with regimes like that all over the world. We should be doing the same.

Our current elites have led the west into a very dire state making policy via virtue signalling and bad calculation....the usual 'eggs in one basket' nuttery. I'll give Trump a pass but only because he's inherited a lot of the mess and is at least trying to change the picture.....Only time will tell on whether it improves the outcome. I think it does a bit....but more for America than the EU for example (though thanks to Brexit we have a better position than the EU).

Yes and no for me.

100 percent agree that the woke neo communism that has been allowed to root itself into US universities for decades now is an existential threat to America's future as a world leader.....it only leads to civil war in my view.

However, the no part from me is down to the principle of free speech. I agree that neo communism needs to be removed from US universities, however I don't believe that this is the right way to do it.....Personally I'd briefly nationalise all of them and sack every single paid subversive in a position of authority, then I'd replace them with suitable options. The new rulebook wouldn't ban the left but it wouldn't allow non patriotic versions like the 'progressive' political tumour that we currently see. A politically balanced but pro American educational system needs to come back if the country is to survive long term.

The unspoken elephant in the room is always 'who funds it'....because just like your media, it's the politics of the people who fund the institution that decides what happens and the direction it travels down. Just as nations have rules on who can own what important national infrastructure the US state needs rules on who is allowed to fund and run its nation's intellectual human capital......because it's been going very badly for a long time.
