You can use a rather lower criterion and gain useful insight.

Troll.
I think he's just a kid. Have you seen their movies? Xi has censored the shit out of them. I watch what's available on Netflix and am amazed at the militaristic, nationalist propaganda they contain. It's not all bad. Some of their historical drams follow the written history quite well, although their love of melodrama is hard to sit through. Its as if it's written for kids.


As Beijing rejigs its debt-ridden economy by diktat this year, a parallel operation is emerging in the sphere of culture. Media regulators have banned the display of “effeminate men,” ordering broadcasters to promote content with “traditional Chinese culture” instead. They have also publicly shamed or silenced “morally corrupt” celebrities, and shuttered fan communities. In schools, education regulators are expunging classrooms of foreign influence such as foreign textbooks and English-language courses. At the same time, in an effort to “cultivate masculinity” in schools, they have hired more gym teachers and promoted sports programs. Broadly speaking, the Party has become ever more concerned over the future of Chinese youths, how they spend their time, the role models they look up to, and the kinds of content they are exposed to.

The new policies are part of larger currents that have existed for several years. Decades of history exist in China regarding celebrity crackdowns, enforced heteronormativity, and the prioritization of “traditional Chinese” culture over foreign aesthetics. This year, though, the rules have coalesced into a larger vision about society, its culture, and how youths should behave in what Xi Jinping has billed as “the new era.” State attacks on “‘sissy men’ and “niáng pào” 娘炮 [effeminate, camp, or gay], all these ways of speaking have been around for a few years, so they aren’t fundamentally new,” Fang Kecheng, a professor of journalism at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, told SupChina. “But this time, I think they fit into a larger strategy, one that encompasses a holistic rethink of the way society should be organized.” If prior instances of cultural reforms occurred sporadically, the recent move suggests that a more strategic and steady hand has grasped the steering

i don't understand that reasoning...

Turkey, Estonia and Lithuania are all directly on the border...so why is it so important to putin to keep nato out of Ukraine? he has some motive he hasn't made public yet...
Well that's easy. At that time, Russia had just started consolidating after the break up (read: were weak), so they didn't get a chance. Context is more important than just a map, ffs

Not seen a bit of that. But it surely fits with the Chinese desire to have a planned society minus the Soviet mistakes.

good thing russia has one of the best anti air XD
Yep, good thing that the seventh largest nation's economy is spending much more in terms of GDP than the US, the second largest economy does. We are bumbling fools. I hear we are still working out the bugs in a hypersonic sling shot. Can't seem to get the rubber bands right.
