@arklisdotapp @arklisdotapp I'm in. #arklisdotapp @darwinchen @yaochen

@zmbnski If you have time, besides Chongqing, you should also visit Chengdu and some nearby attractions, like the Leshan Giant Buddha and Dujiangyan. The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is also well worth a visit.

In 1950, China’s GDP per capita was roughly on par with Cambodia’s and only a quarter of Mexico’s. With a population of over 500 million, China had endured foreign invasions and decades of war, leaving it deeply impoverished and with barely any modern industrial foundation.

Under Mao Zedong’s leadership, China established an independent government, laid the foundations of modern industry, and achieved major breakthroughs in national defense, nuclear technology, and space exploration. These achievements helped lay the groundwork for national security, social development, and China’s later modernization.

Today, China is the world’s second-largest economy. Just look at how dramatically its cities and people’s living standards have transformed over the past seven decades, and consider how far this country has come from such humble beginnings.

No one can say for certain how long China might have taken to achieve national independence and modernization without Mao. But his foundational contributions to that transformation cannot be overlooked. That is why many Chinese people continue to respect and admire their founding leader to this day.

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

I understand your question, but China’s path to modernization was very different from that of many Western countries. While Western nations had already industrialized, China was still struggling with the collapse of imperial rule, foreign invasions, decades of war, and widespread poverty. Its transition from a traditional agricultural society to a modern nation was far from easy.

As for whether China would have been better off under Chiang Kai-shek, that’s a historical hypothetical we can never truly verify. But consider this: the Kuomintang controlled the central government, commanded a massive army, and received substantial foreign aid. So why did it ultimately lose mainland China? Corruption, hyperinflation, political repression, unresolved land issues, and military failures had severely undermined public support, while the Communists gradually gained ground through land reform, grassroots mobilization, and military organization.

Mao certainly made serious mistakes, but under his leadership, China also laid the foundations of modern industry, expanded education and literacy, improved rural healthcare and public health, and achieved major breakthroughs in defense technology. These developments helped lay the groundwork for China’s later modernization.

I’m not arguing that Mao should be above criticism. I’m simply saying that history should not be judged solely by one man’s failures. We must also understand the circumstances of his time and acknowledge his historical contributions.

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

Mao Zedong’s achievements went far beyond founding the People’s Republic of China. Under his leadership, China built the foundations of modern industry, expanded education and literacy, improved public healthcare through programs like the barefoot doctors, and made major breakthroughs in science and national defense.

Mao undoubtedly made serious mistakes, but those mistakes do not erase his contributions. He may not have made China prosperous in his lifetime, but he helped lay the foundations for the China we see today.

History should be judged in its entirety, not reduced to selective failures or simplistic political labels.

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

The Chinese government has not issued any extreme political condemnation of Mbappé’s remarks. As you constantly emphasize freedom of speech, he has every right to express his opinions, just as the Chinese public has every right to criticize him and express their dissatisfaction.

Businesses have the right to choose their partners, and broadcasters have the right to make their own programming decisions. China’s decision to suspend certain broadcasts is certainly open to debate, but choosing not to provide someone with a platform is not the same as depriving them of freedom of speech.

The real issue has never been about forcing anyone to apologize. It’s about why you insist so strongly on one person’s freedom to express an opinion, yet seem unwilling to accept that others have the right to criticize that opinion, reconsider commercial partnerships, or respond through their own media decisions.

Freedom of speech is not a one-way privilege, nor does it mean freedom from consequences.

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

History is not simply black and white. Mao Zedong’s serious mistakes in his later years can and should be criticized, but they do not erase his decades of historical contributions. Reducing a complex historical figure who played a central role in the revolution, the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and the country’s development to a single label—“dictator”—is neither a comprehensive nor a rigorous assessment of history.

@German_vylla @MaryanneY213 @Jingjing_Li @KMbappe Both the person involved and Real Madrid have already apologized, yet you’re still here playing keyboard warrior. No wonder Spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe. 🤡

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

When someone refuses to observe the world with their own eyes or make an effort to understand a country and the lives of its people firsthand, relying instead on whatever books and media feed them without even questioning whether it’s true, they lose more than just the ability to judge independently. They lose the habit of thinking for themselves. The real tragedy isn’t ignorance. It’s mistaking unverified beliefs for unquestionable truth.

@smgfxyjq_912778 @Constantin13335 @isesru @MaryanneY213 @Jingjing_Li @KMbappe 拿不出任何实证，只要别人与你意见不同，就急着给人贴上“粉红”的标签，再靠谩骂发泄情绪，倒也挺可怜的。至于毛泽东，不妨回去问问你的祖父母，了解一下新中国成立前的社会是什么样子，普通人经历过什么。历史不是靠几个标签就能讲清楚的。

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

Shouldn’t you be more concerned about a society where caste and discrimination based on birth still shape people’s lives? And what about your own government’s arrests, censorship and intimidation of journalists, critics and protesters? Aren’t those issues worth questioning?

Before lecturing us about China, perhaps you should first understand what the people’s democratic dictatorship and democratic centralism actually mean. Criticizing policies, pushing for adjustments, improving governance and serving the people are all forms of political participation. Since when did democracy mean nothing more than insulting a leader online?

As for Aksai Chin, even India’s former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru acknowledged in 1959 that India had never actually occupied the region and that China had controlled it for a considerable time. China administers Aksai Chin today, although sovereignty remains disputed. If you have questions about how those historical boundaries came about, perhaps start by examining the legacy of British colonial rule before lecturing others about history.

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

Seriously, stop wasting your precious time and energy on fake news and fabricated history. Try learning something factual and genuinely useful for once. I’m not interested in wasting any more time arguing with someone who knows absolutely nothing about China and lives in a fantasy world built on false assumptions.

@Ivan_Paez14 @isesru @MaryanneY213 @Jingjing_Li @KMbappe Entonces, ¿cómo llamas a la represión policial contra quienes protestaban contra el gobierno de Milei en Buenos Aires el 15 de octubre? Hermano, ¿por qué no ordenas un poco tus ideas antes de hablar? No puedes negar lo que está delante de tus ojos.

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

@Ivan_Paez14 @xxx071220 @isesru @MaryanneY213 @Jingjing_Li @KMbappe Indeed, if those people couldn’t even make a living in a rapidly developing country, perhaps that says more about them than the country itself. And judging by the few people you know, your social circle doesn’t seem particularly impressive either.

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

Canada has over 400 years of European colonial history and has long welcomed immigrants from around the world. So what’s so strange about Chinese people moving there? Do you also consider British and French immigrants to be escaping terrible countries, or does that logic only apply to China? And wait, you don’t even understand what “people’s democratic dictatorship” means, yet you’re trying to lecture us about China? Stop wasting everyone’s time. How embarrassingly childish. 😓

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

@StepByTap @Constantin13335 @isesru @MaryanneY213 @Jingjing_Li @KMbappe The funniest part is that the person involved has already apologized to the Chinese people, yet some idiots who aren’t even Chinese are still throwing tantrums. 🤡

[椎名 曜 @shiinayoh]

@Constantin13335 @isesru @MaryanneY213 @Jingjing_Li @KMbappe So, sitting in Canada, you think you know China better than the Chinese themselves? 🤡
