Nooo they wouldn't do that¡ Didn't people say here that the numbers are western fabrications

Westerners call any number that ever comes out of China fake so I don't know why now they're upset about not releasing them.

Why do high-level managers need help?

Cutting their wages leaves more money to pay workers at the bottom.

Yeah as I said, Chinese Cold War foreign policy is a pretty contentious subject even amongst China fans and you won't find many if any here supporting it. Clearly significant mistakes were made.

Modern day Chinese policy is a bit harder to judge. I'm not sure what the nature of China and Israel's relationship is; does it go further than simply trade? Regardless I would say they still remain the best of the 21stC superpowers just because they aren't engaging in open conflict, but no policy is perfect. Secondly I'd say that China's stance of 'respect and work with any state who respects us' is more principled than the US's selective list of designated friends and enemies; China works with Israel because they work with everyone, for better or worse, while the US works with Israel because they ideologically support Israel and its goals. I guess materially the result could be the same regardless of intention so maybe that doesn't matter?

China cooperates with everyone. It's a pretty major point of contention among tankies; on the one hand it sucks when you're backing fascists, but on the other hand, at least China isn't going around warring and couping foreign governments (except the one mistake in Vietnam).

No one should ever be forced to fight or die for something they don't believe in.
