What a beautiful translation: 他强任他强,清风拂山岗;他横任他横,明月照大江 "Let the strong do as they will; we remain as unperturbed as the gentle breeze caresses the hills. Let the fears act as they may; we maintain our poise as the bright moon illuminates the river."

People from Beijing and dongbei keep telling me that “Shanghai is too cold,” which I agree with. (For context, it’s 7°C in Shanghai now, while it’s 0°C in Beijing.)

“Even as the US has sided with Russia, Europeans are still angered by Beijing’s “tacit support” for Moscow”🤦

This is true. I ran the numbers on 185 countries/regions on Trump's tariff list today, and it's correct for 182 of them. Here you can see all the numbers. (unit: millions in USD) Data is from the US Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration.

美国贸易办公室放出这么多希腊字母是扯淡,ε=-4, φ=0.25,他们相乘=1,然后任何会代数的人都会计算到下面的结果:对等关税=逆差/进口,和对方关税没一毛钱的关系。

Seriously, who’s been advising Trump on China? Ron Vara, Gordon Chang, and this junior who seems to have zero knowledge about American products’ presence in Chinese market?

Bad China takes is bad for the US as it made US misjudge China’s strength and weakness. These people are causing misjudgment. Doesn’t matter how rich, popular and powerful they are.

"Each 'American' in the video looks depressed and exhausted by the amount of labor - feeding into many stereotypes about the nation's work ethic." What do you think manufacturing is? Disneyland?

逛室内香氛,柜哥:“这款气味非常清新,很适合在家舒缓压力,提高工作效率。”都这么喜欢工作是吧?(虽然我确实挺喜欢工作的……)

This excellent analysis of the weekend’s mass-recall votes proves that it is possible for international media to cover Taiwan with balance and depth. It just needs the ability - and willingness - to reach out and listen to both sides.

Lots to love in this conversation between afra and Tom Mullaney: a Chinese restaurant owner in Rochester, an IBM engineer fearing "the coming collapse of China," weird keyboard designs, prompt engineering, entropy, and the destiny of things. sixthtone.com/news/1017405/d…
