@hazmifachry @farisrachman_1 Ppp mengecualikan barang yang diperdagangkan secara global, misal gadget dan mobil, harganya kurang lebih sama, tapi karena income-nya lebih besar, jadi barang barang tersebut lebih "murah" di negara berpendapatan tinggi

Prinsipnya begini:

1. Rakyat tidak bisa mendiagnosis solusi

2. Rakyat BISA mendiagnosis masalah

P != NP

Diagnosis kegagalan transportasi Jakarta itu mudah: "kok macet".

Solusinya tidak mudah dan sangat kompleks, dan hanya bisa dituntaskan oleh Kepakaran + Political Will.

Demokrasi ada karena rakyat MAMPU mendiagnosis masalah. Percuma diktator kalau masalahnya tidak selesai.

@DentaNusa @lowstoicjournal @zanatul_91 Lucunya melihat orang yang yakin sekali dan merasa paling membaca, tanpa memberikan satupun penjelasan kongkrit apa yang diyakininya

[Maxemotions @irfansyah_am]

@DentaNusa @lowstoicjournal @zanatul_91 Yang jaksa paparkan adalah circumstantial evidence, aturan yang ditandatangani Nadiem, pencopotan jabatan bawahannya, zoom meeting percepatan eksekusi anggaran. Semua itu mendukung bahwa arah kementrian memang mau chrome os dipakai (tech choice), tapi bukan berarti itu korup.

@DentaNusa @lowstoicjournal @zanatul_91 Ya buktikan konflik kepentingannya dengan aliran dana langsung dong, atau buktikan langsung adanya persekongkolan jahat google, yang kita tahu kan tuduhannya karena investasi di gojek, yang mana gojek perusahaan layak invest pada masanya, bukan ecek ecek

[Maxemotions @irfansyah_am]

@DentaNusa @lowstoicjournal @zanatul_91 Gak ada bukti, cocokologi jaksa menghubungkan investasi masa lampau dengan kebijakan pengadaan bertahun tahun setelahnya. Saat menjadi menteri dia tidak menjabat di gojek lagi. Kalau konflik kepentingan otomatis seperti itu, semua pejabat yang pebisnis harusnya masuk penjara

[Harald in China (Peace First 和为贵) @HaraldinChina]

Let me give you the gist, having read the Chinese version: It's not a book written BY Xi Jinping, it's a collection of selected passages of speeches given by Xi. The distinction is important, as Chinese and especially CPC cardres are ordered to study exactly this content, called "Xi Thought" in China. If one assumed it was something like JD Vance's latest book, then China would indeed resemble a dictatorship, where one person's thoughts were to be accepted by everyone. As it is, the speeches are obviously written by a large number of authors who contribute passages after collecting and aligning the views of vast numbers of experts, stakeholders, politicians and otherwise relevant people. These speeches are then again reviewed by top CPC officials and no doubt by countless secretaries to ensure consistency through all speeches. The act of reading out such a text by Xi Jinping is then the last formal act of declaring a shared viewpoint as official CPC stance. Here you could speak of "rubber stamp" if you must. Xi is part of the discussions, and won't read something he totally rejects, of course. But his role is to ensure enough powerful people are aligned enough with the CPC official stances to prevent internal opposition to grow into an organized movement to change him as leader or the system as a whole. So, with that said, the book is a summary of all the top level policy decisions of the CPC. It's a hard read in Chinese, given how large policy papers are condensed into 4 character names, or number-commonality constructs (3 represents, 4 self confidence, or 4 global initiatives for example). Xi's speeches often list dozens of such policies together, to "explain" what should be focused on to address a specific topic at hand. It's hard to read in Chinese because you need to know or research all these policies if you won't to really understand the meaning of a speech. It's virtually impossible to read in English, because some words like 强国 (Qiangguo, strong country, superpower) is avoided in transltaions, presumably to not appear threatening, and replaced by constructs like "be globally influential in...", which in turn makes it impossible to understand what Qiangguo really means in Chinese politics, since the areas where the word should appear (e.g. agriculture, technology, finance, culture etc.) don't use the word. But only by using the word, you'd know which aspects are a part of the word. I'm not jealous of the translators, btw. I couldn't do a better job. I'm just warning it's very difficult to understand Chinese politics without knowing Chinese. And here we are at your point
@RnaudBertrand
: the fact that hundreds if not thousands of Western "experts" and journalists are paid to do nothing else but research China, yet not one is able to explain the policies I outlined above, in the meta or the concrete level, speaks volumes about our ignorance on China.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is genuinely shocking, and says so much about our approach to China.

I decided to check for independent reviews of the English version Xi Jinping's latest book, published a year ago, to see what people had to say about it since I hadn't read it myself.

To my surprise, I couldn't find any: not a single thoughtful review about the book out there! Even on Amazon, check it for yourself (https://t.co/1LVlhACA53): the book has only 3 ratings, that's it.

No matter where you stand on China, you’ve got to admit that’s pretty crazy: the sitting president of the world's rising superpower publishes a 700-page book explaining exactly what he's doing and why, and we don’t even care to look.

If there ever was a fact that illustrates just how willfully ignorant we are about China, this is it.

All the more because we then go spew the usual clichés around how secretive and impenetrable the Chinese system is: the book is on Amazon for $21 for crying out loud!

Anyhow, this felt so wrong that I figured I'd fix it. I bought the book, read it attentively and wrote what I hope you'll agree is a thoughtful review of it.

The book contains genuinely surprising passages, such as Xi writing that oversight of the Communist Party by "the judiciary, the public, and the media" was not just something the Party must “readily accept,” but something that he framed as historically decisive - an essential component to "escaping the historical cycle of rise and fall" that has doomed every dynasty in China's history.

Other passage that I'm sure would surprise many: a common narrative out there is that China blames the West for the century of humiliation and is driven by revenge. Well, Xi explains that's not true at all: the century of humiliation was China's own mistake, originated in the Ming Dynasty's disastrous "policy of national seclusion" that "resulted in China missing out on the opportunities presented by the Industrial Revolution" and "led to China’s decline."

All in all, the book is remarkably self-reflective and thoughtful. For instance Xi recognizes that his drive for “full and rigorous internal governance” - including to rid the Party of corruption - risked "instill[ing] fear and apprehension, or intimidate members into inaction.” He emphasizes the need for pragmatism in this regard, codified in a framework called the “Three Distinctions” that separates honest mistakes - made while experimenting, reforming, or operating without precedent - from deliberate violations committed for personal gain.

And many other surprises still. I found it a genuinely fascinating read for anyone interested in how the Chinese system works and how Xi thinks - or anyone interested in governance, period, as so much of what he writes is pretty universally applicable.

This is the link to my review of the book, an article I titled "The Book the West Refuses to Read": https://t.co/DYowWEESOd

[Faris Abdurrachman @farisrachman_1]

Dikotomi pemerintah vs swasta makin ga berlaku di era sekarang. It’s not always true that more government is good, just as it is not always true that leaving everything to the private sector is good.

Dikotomi yang bener itu hanya dalam tipe dan modalitas intervensi. Negara produksi langsung panel surya itu jelek. Tapi negara dorong swasta produksi panel surya melalui subsidi dan keringanan pajak itu bagus.

Yang membedakan Tiongkok (dan negara Asia Timur lainnya) & rest of the world is this understanding. Mereka udah ga peduli dikotomi pemerintah vs swasta. All they care about is whether the intervention works. It doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.

This is what the world is moving towards.

Jahat banget cok!! 😠

Kalau semua yg diomongin nadiem ini bener, dahlah hopeless banget sama penegak hukum di negara kita capt. Antara inkompeten atau emang ada niat jahat.

Kenapa gue bilang gitu? Coba lo tonton video ini sampe kelar. Lo bakal merasa apa yg disampaikan nadiem itu semua logis dan seluruh tuntutan jaksa jadi ga berdasar.

Lo inget ga suami dewi Sandra, Harvey Moeis? Berapa potensi kerugian negaranya? Berapa tahun dia dituntut jaksa? Berapa banyak denda yg harus dia bayar??

Jauh banget dari tuntutan ini capt!

At least, Gue gatau nadiem ini kesalahannya seberapa besar, tapi dengan tuntutan setidak masuk akal itu gue rasa ini sangat ga adil.

Semoga ada keadilan di negeri tercinta kita ini.
