The Chinese deal with Iraq signifies the contrariety between US practices in the Middle East and those of China.

      Liberals unironically will and do believe this is bad because obviously those schools will teach CPC propaganda about how the school was build by the CPC after the US blew up all the other schools.

          I laughed reading this because it reminded me about how bad the US was at building anything in Iraq and Afghanistan. At one point US contractors charged almost 50 million dollars to build a single gas station and it never actually got completed. To be fair, US contractors are just as bad when hired to build infrastructure in the US.

            I remember some german army fat cat going “Our job is to destroy things and kill people” when they asked him as to why they failed so hard in afghanistan and he got ousted for that shit and it was whole big controversy

            I genuinely could never shake the feeling they fired the one guy who was aware of what their actual job was

          The school voucher system is exactly that. It’s destroying public education in the US already.

        In promoting mutually beneficial cooperation, we should raise awareness about human beings sharing a community of common destiny. A country should accommodate the legitimate concerns of others when pursuing its own interests; and it should promote common development of all countries when advancing its own development. Countries should establish a new type of global development partnership that is more equitable and balanced, stick together in times of difficulty, both share rights and shoulder obligations, and boost the common interests of mankind.

        is-this insidious CEE CEE PEE propaganda?

          I don’t see anything about white man’s burden to civilize savage Iraqis by bombing them, so yes, clearly SISIPI brainwashing.

    1000 schools in 2 years.

    Instantly reminded me of polish program “1000 schools for 1000 anniversary of Poland” (in total it was 1423 schools built in 14 years).

        Most of them probably in a first month of most intensive bombings.

      By the way, I heard that in the last 3 decades in Poland, 7 or 8 hospitals were built and much more than 1000 thousand churches. I have no source, but if someone could confirm that, it would be great summary of current priorities in Poland (aka Wielka Bolzga).

        No idea but i wouldn’t be surprised, a lot of hospitals is being privatised or liquidated. Ambulances work quite decent depending on where you live, but after they get you to the hospital you can wait many hours even for life saving medical attention because lack of doctors. I guess you would get last rites way faster.

      China likes to build. The US likes to bomb crap and live in open sewage. This is not a difficult issue.

        The US likes to bomb crap and live in open sewage.

        There used to be this stereotype that Chinese people piss and shit on the street brought up by HK Gusanos and their Westoid masters. I feel like this has disappeared in recent years and I think that some of that is because of the continued inability of western countries to address homelessness leading to an un-ignorable amount of people pissing and shitting in public in the West.

    They’re clearly not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, they’re just trying to get the achievement.
