There are many Muslims in Russia. One of Putin's best buddies is a Muslim and has multiple wives.

How Putin’s Relationship With Islam Works
In the wake of terror, it is worth noting that Putin has long courted his country’s Muslim minority—with mixed results.
Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia “cannot be the target of terrorist attacks by Islamic fundamentalists. We are a country that demonstrates a unique example of interfaith harmony and unity, of interreligious and interethnic unity.” He offered this observation by way of explaining why he believes Ukraine and its American sponsors, not an Islamic State affiliate, were behind last month’s deadly terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall in Moscow, which left over 140 people dead.
How credible is Putin’s claim, attribution of the attack aside? Does Russia enjoy good relations with its Muslim minority?
About 10 percent of the Russian population is Muslim, which makes them a minority comparable in size to African-Americans in the United States. Putin has made a deliberate effort to court the faith from his earliest days in office. Contrary to the impression some Western observers have tried to create of Putin as a fanatical Russian nationalist, Putin has always emphasized Russia’s “multiethnic and multifaith history,” as he put it in a 2005 speech in Kazan, which, to the crowd’s amazement, he delivered in the Tatar language.

I don't know much about China other than what I see on the internet but some say westerners have a very distorted view of Chinese life in many cities there now, how technologically advanced it is for example, more advanced than many western countries. I don't know how China scores but there are happiness indices comparing different countries. I know some sinophiles say Chinese society feels much more free in fact, for example you don't see a constant police presence like for example in the US. And there is little street crime. You just don't criticize the government or foment revolutions. I mean the west is feeling really oppressive now IMO, all this hate crime legislation and so on.
But at the same time my impression of Asians is that the mentality is ant-like, very conformist.

Betraying the world
I didn't watch the clip, sorry, but the US and Israel has been moralizing over the rest of the world since forever so how could one be offended if someone now criticizes the USrael, especially seeing as what they are doing right now. Israel has the gall to say they have the "most moral army in the world." I'm with joswift that morals are somewhat subjective. I'm just happy that the world in some small measure is turning against Israel now. Netanyahu just acknowledged that the world will now isolate it due to what they are doing and that it has to become self-sufficient but that is just absurd, Israel wouldn't exist without the US and many other countries.
In light of this ruling, fear has swept through Israel. Netanyahu marked the inflection point in a speech which sought to brace Israelis for a new period of darkness and uncertainty, wherein Israel would be forced to endure diplomatic isolation on the world stage, requiring economic ‘autarky’ to sustain itself...
Listen carefully to what he says: this is not a mere ‘rainy day’ blip to be briefly weathered, but a long dark and stormy night of isolation for which Israel will have to reconfigure its entire economy. Most concerning for Netanyahu is the coming isolation in defense manufacturing, which he foresees will have countries blocking critical military aid to Israel for the perpetuation of its genocide against Palestinians.
Israel’s mad dog policies have jumped the shark of late, adding new countries and war crimes to the list after Qatar was bombed, and the Houthi government’s prime minister assassinated in strikes on Yemen. Given that Israel also hit the freedom flotilla in Tunisian waters, the list of countries Israel is simultaneously striking with no repercussions has grown to include Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Iraq, Iran, Qatar, Yemen, and probably others.[/b]

I went there not too long ago. I thought their big cities were very advanced. They don't use cash, everyone has to download an app, either wechat or alipay. Their uber is a built-in program through the apps. Beijing and Shanghai were very clean and zero beggars, zero street hustlers. Xian had some beggars. I did not feel unsafe at any time. Shanghai had a light show at sunset and all the building had synchronized their lights to coordinate the show. It is quite a sight.

China will implode before it achieves that. Their economy is too reliant on exports. Their growth would be in direct relation to North American purchasing power

China is not worried about Uncle Sam. I Guarantee they know more than President Trump about his own country & Military.
The Spams have been too complacent for too long thinking they rule the roost.

China is not growing and has a very old population.

All of the higher ups want one thing - power and a stupid populace.
They're most likely working together behind the scenes but when push really comes to shove they'll still ignite (a pseudo) WW3 to decimate the proles.

I don't know how it is in the UK but here you can't function without digital money, people look at you funny if you try to pay with cash in stores. You can't deposit more than a few hundred bucks of cash into an account without proving where it came from. The gov obviously wants to do away with cash altogether. Related to this, I follow some "extremist" right wingers in the US who haven't been charged with any crime who have been shut out of banking, can't have a personal account anywhere, can't fly because they are on no fly lists. Some have extreme problems registering a website, companies who provide security like cloudfare refuse to work with them. Now in the US the demonic Jew Palantir has been tasked by Trump to map the whole US populace into databases with all associations tracked, and it's happening all over the world. Just saying it's not just China that is controlled. I don't know for sure myself but China sympathetic folks say China is freer as far as speech goes, don't have all these hate speech laws. Could be wrong...

This is very topical, in case someone is interested. The US voted to ban TikTok because they said they feared China interference. The real reason was that Israel critique was spreading due to, according to this fella, IDF soldiers themselves gloating over their crimes on the app, and then can gen Z condemnation which was spreading like wildfire. Now it appears that Larry Ellison of Oracle and Murdoch will own it, both very Zionist, will own it. Already the Israeli gov company Cyberwell controls the algorithm and moderation censoring anti-Israel content. The hate speech controller on TikTok was former IDF.
China was the claimed threat, the real perceived threat was antisemites.

Where does Van live where he can only deposit a few hundred dollars without proving where it comes from? That’s not the US.

It was difficult to get a sense of that. Very few adults spoke English. Their children are required to learn English. The parents would make them speak to us in English and then take pictures of their kids standing with us. One of the guides I hired through their app broached the subject of politics, asking me about my opinion on Trump and Biden, but I was noncommittal on my answers and deliberately vague as I wasn't sure if politics would be a good thing to discuss over there.

I'm in Sweden. I don't know if the same happens in the US but Police do raodside stops of suspected gang affiliates and take their expensive clothes, and obviously jewellery etc, off them tight there if they can't prove how they paid for them and where the money came from, for example if they are receiving welfare and they shouldn't be able to afford an expensive designer piece of clothing. I think they often also take vehicles registered to someone else, say their mom.
OTOH I don't know anyone who has been audited by the IRS whereas on getbig members said a while back there's little possibility of hiding dirty money if they look at you. But you had a couple of others like I think robc who had been audited but had money in watches they couldn't touch IIRC.

Some sinophiles say the discussions on Chinese social media are very vigorous and what would be called hate speech elsewhere. Now obviously some topics have to be off limits, criticism of the gov and so on. OTOH I read that with the Ukraine war many Russians are extremely critical of their military, even Putin, and some have finally been imprisoned when they kept pushing the overthrow of Putin or whatever. Apparently lots of criticism about Putin being too soft.
