Good f*** em

It's unlikely because Canada is a fake country incapable of doing good things too cucked by the US and still views China as a "security threat". I could see them allowing EVs similar to how the EU does it though with tariffs and strict regulations. It's not only about bargaining with the US, since China has retaliatory tariffs on Canadian exports so reaching an agreement would be mutually beneficial for both countries. There's no point trying to appease the US anymore as they're a highly unstable trading partner and American car manufacturers are already leaving Canada

im talking about a very recent thing

it was stupid how much legroom there was in this byd taxi i caught a few weeks back. i was like what do i do with all that space lmao i could start dancing in there

it's china's world we're just living in it

Wdym by this? Like the way Americans explain and have their own narrative for China's rise or just how Americans learn about China on a day to day basis?

There's serious issues either way

the latter, i think of two ideas in particular of some young americans understanding china as the right way of doing things far as development under capitalism goes, as well as any notions of a country becoming a stronger geopolitical player and what that might entail

the former would be describing china as this hustling and bustling place of commerce and business where they build bridges and railroads too. they dont care for things like class relations or communist party and what any of this means

as far as the latter its the idea that some people in their most extremes just wish to be conquered by china or china invading america to 'teach us a lesson' and at this point they dont even think of that as not only impossibility but also as something thats not gonna teach anyone anything. or china not 'doing anything' about israel or any other country and them not having any desire to become the new policeman in any way shape or form and them continuing on doing capitalism with just about anyone

I've been thinking for a long time that a law like this would save social media and obviously China are the first to implement something like this

Yes exactly what America needs is less freedom of speech

Not what this is even about

Who determines what's a "professional topic"?

For example, what happens when the Palestinian genocide is deemed a professional topic and regular folks on TikTok are no longer allowed to talk about it freely? Are you okay with that?

Ohhh i get it. Completely misunderstood the initial post. Thought you meant either lack of understanding the country or lots of leaders thinking China owes everything to the U.S. for its development. I live in DC so unfortunately am eye witness to these terrible takes.

glad to know that i didnt just make this up lol

Thats fair. However fake news is one of the main factors that led to the current state of the US (and a lot of other western countries). The Covid era led people believing all type of news. I see so much vile racist bs spewed on Twitter almost daily in the name of facts that its sickening.
Nowadays the younger generation believes anything they see on Tiktok with no source cited just as older people believe any type of bs they see on FB or Whatsapp as long as it fits their views.

As I understand this law currently, anyone can still comment under the video and share their opinion about it but the creator of the video can only be someone with a degree, professional license, or certification. Could this be misused? Absolutely. But I am going to see how it plays out before having a final opinion on this.

The law was for social media influencers, not regular folks. People who make money posting on the internet and dominating discussions on things they might not actually be slightly qualified to speak on, and twist things to get more clicks and money. And they also take space from people who actually do that work or have experience.

I don't think this would work the same in the West without mass uproar but China's influencer space and social media are incredibly different than here.

Wow carti inspired

a law like this in the West would only be used to enact further censorship though

censorship can be a good thing

i rented a BYD for the two weeks I spent working in Tashkent/Bukhara this past month

American motors are s***. It's disillusioning to drive anymore

How do you see a similar law working in the West? Obviously, the ruling class would implement such laws to specifically crack down on opposing voices, e.g. anti-Zionists and Communists, under the guise of helping combat "misinformation" (and I don't mean Joe Rogan promoting Ivermectin). Dude like Hasan must obtain a certificate from Prager U before streaming about economics and get a stamp of approval from RFK before talking about vaccines. Regulating social media in some capacity is important but we can't just look at what China does and think "We should do that here!".

i do not see it in the west in the same capacity as china as long as we have the bourgeious political framework we have

so we agree
