People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true. I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin. Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions. Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25. Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha. So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years. PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice. Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

@heyimcccui @1NO0F20S05zEM51 马来西亚经济特别依赖中国，政治上比新加坡亲中的多，是东南亚政治上跟中国最亲近的，鲁社长更不可能去马来

2026年9月1日，在东京日本外国特派员协会记者会上，日本总务大臣、前外相、前内阁官房长官兼前外务大臣林芳正谈到了中国政局和经济发展，包括前中共总书记胡锦涛被带离会场意味着什么。在高市内阁中，经验丰富且资历很深的林芳正虽然被留用了，但被移出了首相官邸的权力核心。林芳正：我现在已经不在情报圈子里了。内阁官房长官、首相、外相，可能还有防卫相，他们还在这个圈子里。我已经退出了，所以现在反而可以更自由地谈一些个人看法。过去，中国内部大体存在着共青团派与太子党之间的竞争。前者以胡锦涛为代表，后者在当时则与江泽民阵营有关联。因此，中共中央政治局常委会的七个席位，经常形成“三比四”或者“四比三”的格局。当时有人认为，这是邓小平留下的一种政治智慧。为什么是七个人？因为七是奇数，不容易出现票数相同的情况。如果出现分歧，就可以通过表决形成多数，而不必把所有争议都推到最高领导人那里去。无论是七个人还是五个人，只要是奇数，就能够通过投票作出决定，其中也包括总理。另外，五年一届、最多两届，也就是十年的任期限制，同样被视为邓小平留下的一种制度安排，目的就是避免个人长期统治，避免形成一人独大的局面。过去，两大派系之间事实上的竞争，在一定程度上保障了这种制度能够运转。但是后来，我们看到胡锦涛被人带离会场的那一幕。对我来说，那是一个令人难过的场景。它或许象征着这种派系竞争的终结。现在，在七名政治局常委中，我们已经看不到共青团派的人物了。因此，中国越来越走向习近平主导的一人统治。与此同时，中国不仅在军事上变得更加强大，在经济层面也出现了变化。看起来，他们正在逐渐偏离邓小平时代那种在共产主义体制下引入市场机制的经济模式，转而采取更加社会主义化的经济政策。一开始，包括我在内，很多人都认为，如果中国进一步远离资本主义和市场机制，那么经济增长率可能会下降，研发能力也可能削弱。但我们目前看到的结果并不完全如此。中国已经成为全球人工智能发展最迅速、规模最大的国家之一。中国经济确实在放缓，但仍然保持着大约4%左右的增长速度。因此，至少到目前为止，所谓“中等收入陷阱”似乎并没有明显出现在这个国家。这也让中国中央政府比十年前、二十年前更加自信。所以，当我们面对中国时，必须把这些变化都考虑进去。另外，任何外交都需要建立人脉和私人关系。我担任日本外相的时候，王毅当时也是中国外长。后来前任外长离任以后，他又重新兼任了外长。我们两个人单独在一起的时候，他会用日语和我交谈。但如果现场还有其他人在，他就一定会使用自己的语言，以正式方式讲话。所以我认为，安倍先生当年提出的“战略互惠关系”这一基本原则，我们今天仍然应该继续坚持。
