You don't know how communism works. There are no "Chinese companies" or "Chinese investment founds", or "Chinese 5%". There is only the Party. The single and only united entity, political and economical. There are wealthy people but they don't own any capital or means of production. They may own a Ferrari but can't own a wheelbarrow. They may decide if they want to buy a villa in Italy, but they can't decide to buy a Pizzeria in Verona.

There is no difference between political and economical power. If you accept any Chinese capital, you are dealing with the Party. The Party's decisions are not economical, they are political. They will destroy any company for a political gain. They don't make any decisions that are apolitical.

It's not about selling your products or services to China, it's about following the politics of the party.

There are no Chinese students. You can't leave a communist state just like that. Money don't matter. You have to be a good citizen, you must leave your family behind, you must agree to cooperate with the intelligence and to follow politics of the Party or you will never will be allowed abroad again or something bad will happen to your family.

There is no China, there's just the Party. There are no individuals, there's just the Party.

I disagree. It's not about her ignoring her obligation for doing her schoolwork, it's about her not following the court's order. Law may be harsh and fair in the same time. Being ordered to do her homework was a weak sanction, she ignored it, so she needs a stronger stimulus. So law isn't dumb, it's just consistent.

Organised crime sending message to others unwilling to "cooperate".

But Russia would be on the winning side. But that's just some alternative history.

It's hard to say how Russia would look like without the Revolution. It could be democratic.

I live near an aluminum foundry and everything going in goes through a radiation detector.

Reasonable since "perl6" issue is solved. Everyone may move forward.

Don't use Twitter nor reddit.

It's very stable. And mojolicious is nice.

Justifying is not pointing out.
