Why don't the PRC just dissolve and make the New Republic of China following the 三民主義? Then they can have Taiwan back and pretend to be the new leader of the free world.
Kayden Richardson
The CPC would have to give up its power which won't happen.
Also one of the Three Principles is democracy, which many Mainlanders believe, at least currently, the PRC is not ready for, and which people see as inefficient (as they point to slowing economic development and political gridlock in Taiwan, or ethnic conflict and economically undeveloped areas in India, for example) in contrast to the efficiency of an authoritarian government like the PRC's, which has steered the Chinese economy in a direction favorable to the Chinese people since the start of 改革开放
Ethan Murphy
Excited for the asswhooping
Michael Bailey
trump overestimate china's influence with nk he will be dissapointed
Jonathan Brown
Isn't China going to sleep soon, thread will die quick.
Elijah Sanders
My prediction is that Xi offer him some guanxi for his businesses and in exchange Trump gives them hegemony on the South China Sea.
Zachary Sullivan
Once again our """"President"""" will show how utterly inept he is at negotiating. He's such a fucking moron that he has his son-in-law doing much of the diplomatic work as oppose actual experts.
Cooper Cook
It's called nepotism, everyone does it.
Xavier Watson
That would be fine if Kushner were not also a clueless putz
Oliver Carter
>tfw Xi will agree to "put pressure" on North Korea in exchange for Taiwan and the entire South China Sea, and Trump will call it a great deal
Anthony Price
They'd probabbly result in a Authoritarian democracy anyway (Aka singapore but with more space)
How pissed would Xi be if Trump forces him to golf?
Bentley Brooks
t.degenerate
James Morgan
probably not at all, he'd take advantage of trump being out of breath and make him sign some funny deals
Kayden Hall
Xi's wife is kinda cute for an older lady, at least standing next to Tillerson's wife
Why would he be mad?
Mason Richardson
What's so degenerate about these cartoons?
>Why would he be mad?
Because Xi can't golf and the CCP has banned party members from joining golf clubs.
Aaron Wilson
>Xi's wife is kinda cute for an older lady, at least standing next to Tillerson's wife
It really is a shame that Peng Liyuan has had to go from being a famous singer to just another first lady. It would probably help Xi's image even more if he would just let her sing in public every now and then.
Owen Gutierrez
Tillerson is already bending over, let's see if Trump follows
Trump is already calling Xi a friend. Why is Chinese diplomacy so effective?
Jonathan Walker
>implying things like >Szechuan >Mao Tse-tung >are any better than their pinyin versions
Connor Moore

Grayson Hughes

Wyatt Campbell
this
Ryder Smith
you understand korean?
Leo Wilson
Though WG makes Chinese name butchered more than pinyin, I'd say it renders syllable "si" better. Think about how you actually articulate "si", it's indeed sssszzzz~, right?
sumida park geun hye kim chong eun
James Johnson
The Sino-Century is upon us.
Xavier Adams
I feel you when I see Egyptian hieroglyphs bro
Levi Fisher
Trump looks so beta hunched over like that
Kayden Nelson
While it may render the pronunciation better in the eyes of a linguist or someone who at least understands the rules of the romanization system, 99% of people in my experience completely pronounce Szechuan the wrong way (usually Americans pronounce it like "say-chwan, or "say-shwan" because they have no clue how the Sze combination is supposed to be pronounced) and the other 1% who pronounce it correctly are people who speak Chinese
Thomas Carter
You're right, there is no such consonant combination in English, so people hardly pronounce it correctly. Also I thought it has something to do with Poland the first time I saw it.(;´Д`)
Justin Rogers
more anki erry day
Leo Thomas
Pinyin is better for Mandarin learners (though for this purpose bopomofo is the best), Wade-Giles is more intuitive for people who have no interest in actually learning the language and are just trying to say a person's name properly.
Luke Moore
She also sang for the PRC military in Tienanmen square in 1989
Nathan Mitchell
So whose dick is this Chinese chick from Skull Island sucking to get cast in all these big budget movies? Can someone please send her to acting school, or at least take an English class?
Charles Myers
When Trump visits Beijing he will be forced to play xiangqi
Michael Adams
>It would probably help Xi's image More like people would be even more inclined to believe that he's trying to start a personality cult.
Joshua Lewis
xiangqi isn't forbidden in america though
James Bailey
>Now you're probably wondering what I'm gonna need all this power for
William Thomas
Ain't Xi's romanisation comes from maXImum?
Anthony Lewis
我好无聊 学了这么久感觉变得越来越空而已
Xavier Roberts
什么让你感到空虚呢
Josiah Sanders
No twitter tirade about Xi yet wtf
Luke Moore
More like MaSSImo
Everyone's talking about how he shit rockets at Syria in the middle of dinner with Xi.
Jaxon Carter
I think the closest English approximation is how Englishmen say "sir", because the English accent drops the "r" off the end.
Christopher Evans
>mfw Trump's plan to scare Xi backfires too
Probably would think he's more fucking insane than ever
Jaxon Young
I didn't get this but then I realized you were implying golf is forbidden in China. I played it at my public university and they had a team just last year. I think this is exaggerated.
Charles Garcia
jesus christ keep it on the down low
Angel Morgan
It's good but just 3 days ago he said he was going to not pursue regime change in Syria.
Julian Martin
I don't know man are you sure this isn't one of those 95% fake things that blow up in western media
Gavin Roberts
Didn't some other Chinese leader marry a famous entertainer...
Mason Ortiz
I dunno, China seems to grasp the Trump administration quite well. Remember the whole one-china fiasco? In the end China got what they wanted.
Dylan Jackson
That's because it's not up for debate and Taiwan also got freaked out because these stunts are all theater
Thomas Hughes
oh shit
so the rumors were true
Lucas Smith
Bump
Ian Hernandez
>implying she hasn't already helped China & Russia relationship a lot how could Melania ever compete? youtube.com/watch?v=f5ES6H_sGx0
Ian Wood
but it is up for debate that's why it's a dispute
Colton Collins
Bump, still waiting for Xi Trump news
Daniel Johnson
>Chinese President Xi Jinping urged cooperation with the United States on trade and investment on Thursday, inviting President Donald Trump to visit China in a cordial start to their first meeting likely to broach sensitive security and commercial issues.
>The two sides should promote the "healthy development of bilateral trade and investment" and advance talks on a bilateral investment agreement, Xi said, according to a statement on China's Foreign Ministry website.
>"We have a thousand reasons to get China-U.S. relations right, and not one reason to spoil the China-U.S. relationship," Xi told Trump.
>Trump accepted Xi's invitation to China later this year, state news agency Xinhua news agency cited officials as saying on Friday.
Christopher Morgan
It's really not. This is a wrongheaded mindset that's encouraged among rubes and why trump thought it was some kind of bargaining chip and you thought Xi made some kind of deal with him. The one China policy will not and cannot be debated.
John Howard
>my amazon wishlist for china-related books is up to 200 books
sino-autism
David Ramirez
The one-china policy is a core interest of the CCP but it doesn't mean it can't be challenged by the americans if they want to go all out.
Matthew Flores
Have you tried looking for digital versions? I used to order books in bulk but then I discovered torrents and IRC book channels.
Nicholas Lewis
but do you read them
Eli Butler
>tfw been talking to a qt after the terror attack, then she wrote this 每天認真的生活,這樣才不會有任何遺憾
Thomas Watson
plus a kissing emoji in the end
Lincoln Morris
naive
Elijah Taylor
Gross.
Gavin Ramirez
Who?
Easton Edwards
no bully guys, she's very nice :3
Nathan Sullivan
she is using the situation to posit a condition on the external world that no matter how much effect it may have on a person as long as that person is honest in his life he would have no regrets
this is the same absolutes fundamentalists teach their jihadis
yes i am sure she is very nice
William Watson
top kek
Christian Jackson
Digital is all right but I prefer physical since I already spend too much time reading China-related articles on my computer/phone
