China giving American students free/very cheap education would be very cool and funny
Reverse brain drain let’s go
The big brain suck

My mum used to tell me all these borderline problematic fake confucius sayings when I was growing up.
Things like “Go to bed with an itchy bum, wake up with a smelly finger”.
I was being taken round a Confucian temple in Yunnan in March and told some of them to our guide, who thought they were absolutely hilarious. Anyway, stupid anecdote.
I kinda love that you went to a place of worship and cracked jokes about that religion and still killed it. That’s a level of charisma a lot of us will never attain.
It was a very chill place.
My friend also got a kick out of those. Not a stupid story lol
Steal our research
Liberals don’t understand how science works, do they?
Liberals worship of IP might cause their downfall faster then anything.
It is lol. Apparently restricting use of technology makes the progress towards newer better tech slower.
it works like a 4x strategy game duh
Sneaky CCP agents stealing our science points
i can already imagine the digits popping into existence and falling/fading away " -1… -2… -1… -3…"
They really don’t have a single clue how R&D works and the amount of collaboration(“stealing” according to libshits) there are.
Liberals cannot comprehend anything that does not abide by the logic of capitalist property relations.
it’s white supremacist brainworms, they cannot conceive of the untermensch having already surpassed them
I’m 97% sure the whole “China is stealing our research” bit is pure cope, and you’re spot on that it’s mostly that a nation built on slavery is scared shitless about the idea of calling a non-white majority country a peer. We already saw them do the same to Japan in around the 70s, and why younger chuds seem to try to reconcile their weebishness with their white supremacy.
“Japan, you are an honorary aryan, but only because your cartoons amuse the great white man, peasant!”
Steal our research
Oh no they’re gonna steal the secrets of the flavor-blasted dorito
The secret: .
spoiler
You blast them with flavor
The Takis formula has been compromised, billions must lime.
CCP agents have infiltrated the US and stole the secret recipe for fortune cookies! Such powerful divination magic in the hands of China will spell the end of Western civilization
NOOOOOO
Doritos are the one of the worst snacks i ever tried, like sawdust mixed with cat litter, i wouldn’t wish this on Chinese people.
CCP is actually the Chinese Confucius Party.
Pretty fucking funny considering Confucius is like the father of Conservatism. The OG “it was better before”.
Seriously why Confucious? He invented reaction before there was anything to react to.

So it’s more Confucious as an emblem of continuity than Confucious as a grouchy old misogynist?
Yeah afaik

I suppose that Confucianism is partly to blame, it’s the respect of ancient values and traditions at pretty much all cost. It’s very ingrained in Chinese culture.
Mao should’ve followed the example of Wang Anshi, who introduced Legalist concepts and principles into the imperial bureaucracy while calling himself a Neoconfucian. There’s the criticism by Confucians that the imperial dynasties were never actually Confucian (外儒内法), and I mostly see post-Mao CPC continuing the tradition of giving the airs of a Confucian society without actually being a Confucian society.
Steal our research
China is trying to steal our intellectual property by… educating our youth?
The same claim was made when China was sending students here, which was then also wrong, which pretty much leaves it pretty open that if it involves both china and academia in some way you start at “they’re stealing our research” and work yourself backwards into whatever it actually is china is doing
Isn’t this the same as what Israel has been doing with Birthright?
It’s ok if other fascists do it
Birthright is more like a timeshare sales presentation - they’re trying to sell Jewish kids on moving there. This is more like “getting people exposed to other cultures is good, maybe Americans will be way less maniacal towards us if they just come over here and see how we’re all just people”.
yep, birthright is a 10 day tour of israel where they talk about arabs the way people talk about the romani back home. and then they tell you it’s your duty to move to israel and serve in the IDF. and then they get angry at you when you go ??? at them.
this was my experience in 2004.
They gonna teach Americans the six arts: Rites, Music, Archery, Chariotry, Calligraphy, Mathematics
i genuinely do not have a single higher goal as an academic than being able to conduct at least some of my research in china (well, aside from stopping climate change, but lets be real i have by far the best chance of doing that there anyway). xi please confucinize me
Oh no. They’ll introduce American youth to the concept of filial piety. We’re all fucked. An entire generation loyal to boomers
pretty sure they’d be filial to the younger side of gen Xers, millenials, and like the handful of zoomers that’re parents since boomers are stepping well into the grave at this point.
“You’ll teach my kids hard work and fillial piety over my cold dead body!”
Hardcore patriarchy also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Obediences_and_Four_Virtues
Christofascists would love Confucius if they actually bothered to read him. The rules it lays out are not hugely different to the rules the christian church laid out.
They’d hate this part but they also hate it in christianity and pretend “be good to others” and “feed the poor” doesn’t exist.
Lmao these Fox fuckers really have 1950s brain, don’t they?
Can i go?
