The Maoist uprising against the landowners was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, resulting in an almost completely equal redistribution of land among peasants

We’ll have to see what happens over the next few years, he may not even be in consideration for the position. He was an odd pick imo. I thought Xi would leave Li Keqiang there, but from what I understand they did not get along. The west liked Li Keqiang too.

I think Li Qiang was likely chosen to signal to the west that China would welcome their investments much to the chagrin of the US who has been trying to pry it away via sanctions and the continuing trade war. In that sense he was a good choice for his current position. The more the west spends in developing China the better for them.

I doubt he’s China’s gorby though, as the situation in the two countries are very different.

No problem, yeah, every once in a while there is another researcher who is claimed to be a “Chinese Spy”, though it has seemingly slowed down after multiple cases turned out false. Just another part of the latest red scare.

You can look up Trump’s China Initiative, it’s technically “ended” but seeing as they have arrested researchers since I think it’s “ended” in the way Biden has ended other trump programs. I’m on my phone, but here are some things to look at:

Keep in mind months after this article was published, Tao’s case was determined to not be “espionage”. Here is his wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feng_“Franklin”_Tao

You can google related terms and find other examples. Some more dubious than others.

I put it on a laptop that could barely run windows like 10 years ago and found it pretty intimidating, but eventually learned how to find the resouces online to fix problems I ran into and learned as I went. It did make using CLI was more approachable for me though, which has benefitted me since.

Today it’s much easier, but unfortunately I have to use windows for work as there is no suitable Linux version and running the software in Wine is just not great. My old laptop has Linux on it but I don’t really use it anymore. I’d dual boot my desktop but windows just ends up breaking the Linux install eventually and it got annoying to fix. I wish I could just use Linux, it’s much better and windows 11 is dog shit.
