Western commentators keep asking: “Why does China build so much infrastructure?” They never understand the real answer. Because in China, infrastructure isn’t a photo-op. It’s a covenant. Every bridge, every dam, every tunnel, every water-treatment plant— is built by people who know their own families drink this water, walk...

🇨🇳 Here’s what people outside China never understand: When you see hundreds of thousands of comments celebrating a tunnel through the Tianshan Mountains, you’re not just seeing infrastructure, you’re seeing a nation that loves itself, because it has earned the right to. Foreign commentators call Xinjiang a “hell on earth.” Meanwhile, China spent eight years, drilling hundreds of meters underground, carving through mountains, connecting north and south Xinjiang with a highway network that makes life easier for ordinary people. That’s not what a “closed society” does, only a confident, open, and forward-looking society does. You don’t build 700-meter shafts, 80-meter horizontal tunnels, and thousands of kilometers of roads for a population you supposedly want to “oppress,” you build them for a population you intend to see flourish. Ask any Chinese person watching this video, this isn't propaganda; it's our pride. It’s the pride of commuters who will save hours every week, the pride of engineers who spent their youth in the tunnel, the pride of families who finally feel the country’s hand reaching their remote hometowns. China doesn’t preach “human rights.” China builds the roads that make human dignity real. That’s the difference.

Trevor Noah and his guest discussed the serious disconnect in the Western world’s understanding of China. One point was especially absurd: many senior U.S. lawmakers and policymakers had spent their entire careers writing, voting on, and shaping China policy — yet only recently visited China for the first time. They saw modern China with their own eyes and came back stunned, saying they had never imagined China had become like this. This is simply unbelievable. Ordinary Americans posting nonsense about China online is one thing. But officials responsible for China policy being this ignorant about China is another level of imperial arrogance. For decades, America froze China inside old stereotypes: Bruce Lee. Jackie Chan. Kung fu movies. Cheap toys. Fake goods. The world’s low-end factory. Then China changed. And they did not update the file. China built high-speed rail, EVs, ports, drones, shipyards, AI models, supply chains, and the world’s largest industrial system while Western elites were still staring at a VHS tape from the 1990s. But that is still not the real problem. America’s misreading of China does not come from a lack of information. It comes from American exceptionalism. They grew up believing the U.S. is the natural center of democracy, freedom, technology, culture, money, and military power — the country everyone should admire, imitate, and obey. So when China rises without asking for American permission, they do not see reality. They see an error. They keep saying Chinese people live behind a firewall. But Chinese people translate, repost, study, mock, analyze, and consume more foreign information than most Americans ever bother to read about China. Millions of Chinese study abroad. Tens of millions travel overseas. Chinese people use VPNs because they want to see the outside world. Meanwhile, how many Americans have actually lived in China before confidently explaining China to the world? How many can read Chinese platforms? How many follow Chinese debates? How many know what ordinary Chinese people actually argue about? A lot of Chinese people criticize America because they have seen America. A lot of Americans criticize China because they have seen headlines about China. That is the difference. China’s so-called “closed society” produced people curious enough to climb over walls. America’s “open society” produced people too arrogant to look outside their own mirror.

🇨🇳 At the Shanghai Auto Show, China’s EV industry is thriving — yet Western media still frames it as a “response” to Tesla, as if China is eternally chasing. In reality, Chinese automakers surpassed Tesla years ago — and never looked back. Today, it’s the West that must “respond” to China. The real story? China’s EV dominance isn’t about stealing designs. It’s about vision, sacrifice, and ruthless competition: • Chinese firms knew they couldn’t beat legacy Western brands in gas cars. • So they bet early and hard on green energy, building the future from scratch. • Meanwhile, the West clung to their fading empires of oil and nostalgia. China didn’t “steal” a market or a technology. China created the future the West was too afraid to build. #ChinaEV #ShanghaiAutoShow #NewEnergy

🇨🇳🇨🇺🇺🇸 People forget this: while the U.S. builds “island chains” around China, China has never placed military pressure on the American homeland. But if Washington keeps threatening Cuba, maybe the world does need a Chinese military presence in Havana, not for aggression, but for protection. Because China’s connection with Cuba isn’t geopolitical theater. It is memory, it is gratitude, it is the quiet bond of two peoples who carried each other through the hardest decades of the 20th century. When that video of the 83-year-old Cuban man went viral in China, the former flight cadet who trained in Beijing in 1961, tens of millions of Chinese were moved. The Chinese Air Force even visited him in Havana. Not because of politics, but because history remembers kindness. So if the U.S. insists on treating Cuba as something it can threaten or “punish,” it shouldn’t be surprised when Cuba’s friends decide to stand between the bully and the bullied. After all, no one dictates what Cuba does. And China never abandons the people who once called it a brother.

This is genuinely incredible and says SO SO MUCH about the perception of China in the West. This is the #1 news show in France, and the host - David Pujadas - asks the pundits around the table (a sample of the top media figures in France) if they can name 3 living Chinese people. That's it: they just need to say the names of 3 living Chinese people, anyone. This should be extremely easy. Yet not of a single one of them can name a single Chinese beyond Xi Jinping. They do not know a single living Chinese person beyond the president. That's the level of ignorance of China we're dealing with in the West today, in 2026. This is the source for the video: Aired live yesterday 28th of May 2026.

Russian girls explain why they decided to come to China. Videos about China on TikTok and IG are doing more for tourism than any ad campaign ever could. 🇨🇳 No wonder why all the Sinophobes on this social media go ballistic over innocuous and apolitical content: DIY videos, drone shots of neon cities, or simple daily vlogs. Most of this is just leaked from Douyin and Red Note (Xiaohongshu); it wasn't even intended for a Western audience, let alone a non-Chinese audience. China’s modernization and sophistication have become a massive soft power instrument in and of themselves. The Sinophobic Westoids know it and they hate it. Their double standard is loud: neon lights and shiny skylines are “aesthetic” in Japan, but “propaganda” the moment they’re in China. That’s why they have to resort to the “Gansu’s remote village” trope every time they see something cool about China. They hate seeing the reality of China’s modernization. While some in the West remain stuck in this cycle of denial, the rest of the world is watching with growing fascination.

🇨🇳🇯🇵 Westerners keep asking: “Why are Chinese people so obsessed with every piece of their territory?” Let me answer this in a way they might finally understand. Because for China, land was never a trophy. It was never something you took when you were strong and gave up when you were tired. For thousands of years, our land was an inheritance. not from governments, but from ancestors. From farmers, from villages, from dynasties that rose, collapsed, and rebuilt themselves from ash. Every generation guarded the soil handed down by the last. Not because of nationalism, but because this is how a 5,000-year-old civilization stays alive. Meanwhile in the West, especially in settler states, land is just… negotiable. Stolen yesterday, abandoned tomorrow. I once heard an American say: “If California left, who cares? You can take it.” Of course he thinks that. His country is built on land taken by force, not land remembered through ancestors. You cannot lose what you never loved. China is different. We don’t guard territory because of politics. We guard it because we survived a century where others carved us apart, piece by piece, while calling it ‘civilization’ and ‘law’. We learned the lesson with blood: A nation that allows one inch to be taken, will eventually lose the right to stand. And here is the part Western moralists love to ignore: They cry for Palestine, claiming stolen land must be returned. But when China says Taiwan’s story is the same, suddenly “history doesn’t matter”. When Japan claims amnesia, they applaud. When China remembers, they panic. Why? Because a Japan that forgets is useful. A China that remembers is uncontrollable. And China today is—finally—at the stage where no one gets to tell us which parts of our history we are allowed to keep. This is not “aggression,” it is a civilization refusing to let its wounds be rewritten by former empires. So if you really want to understand why Taiwan is not negotiable, start here: For China, territory is memory. And memory is something we no longer allow others to steal.

What is China really like in 2026? To understand China, you need to get outside the major cities of Shanghai and Beijing and go explore the countryside to see how China’s government is transforming the 4th, 5th, and 6th tier cities One of the biggest differences between the Chinese government and others, is a real focus on improving the lives of Chinese people. That might sound like propaganda to some people, but if you actually do visit these small villages, you’ll see how technology and infrastructure are changing people’s lives and providing them a higher quality of life for the future I’m so blessed to have the opportunity to visit, explore and connect with China every year. This is one of the most fascinating countries in the world and I love sharing my travels and journeys through the Middle Kingdom 🇨🇳

Is that correct?” “Correct” “When you store that data in China, Americans who exchange messages or other information with Chinese Facebook users, that would mean the Chinese government could get access to the American data as well, is that correct? “Through the POP servers?

Indians keep calling Tibet sacred. Then these Indian Dalits enter Tibet and treat it like an open-air toilet. That tells you everything. They romanticize Tibet when it serves their anti-China fantasies. They claim moral ownership over a land they do not govern, did not build, and cannot protect. But what they brought was indiscriminate urination and littering; plastic packaging and prayer flag fragments were everywhere, leading to excessive levels of heavy metals in the soil, and Tibetan antelopes dying from ingesting plastic. In 2015, China had to send PLA soldiers who spent ten days cleaning up the garbage mountain left by Dalit clowns on the shores of Lake Manasarovar. Even in front of prayer flags, they cannot behave. China built roads, railways, clean cities, public order, and infrastructure across Tibet. And these Dalit clowns arrive to turn it into a dumping ground. So no, this is not “tourism.” This is imported disrespect. If you cannot respect Chinese land, Chinese law, Chinese public spaces, or even the sacred symbols you pretend to worship, then stay out. Tibet is not your fantasy. Tibet is not your toilet. Tibet is China. Now go back to your Dalit cesspool! The Chinese people do not welcome you.

Beijing rejects the West’s new “tribute system” lie. China stood at the height of world civilization for most of its long history. Yet it did not bomb half the world like the United States, a country with only 250 years of history and only 17 years without war. It did not colonize the entire Earth like the British Empire. China became the center of an Asian civilizational order — not a global machine of plunder. That is what the West still cannot understand. They look at China through their own jungle logic: If you are strong, you must dominate. If you rise, you must conquer. If others trade with you, they must be your “tribute system.” But no. Chinese civilization has always despised bullying the weak, worshiping power, and kneeling to foreigners. That is why Chinese people instinctively look down on self-colonized traitors, reverse nationalists, and postwar Japan — people who sold their spine and called the leash civilization. China’s moral line is very clear: What is ours, we will not give up an inch. What is not ours, we do not covet. That is why China defeated India and Vietnam, but did not occupy an extra inch beyond its own claims. Unlike Israel. Unlike Japan. Unlike America. Ask ordinary Chinese people whether China should invade another country, and 99% would reject it. Ask them whether China should defend itself from humiliation, invasion, and national collapse again, and 100% would rather pay the price. The West cannot imagine a powerful China that does not behave like the West. They look at China and see themselves. They fail to understand that China is a civilization masquerading as a nation. A civilization does not need to conquer or tame others. It commands its own gravity.

Westerners still ask the same question like it’s clever: “Does the rest of the world actually want to be like China? No democracy, repressive on speech and human rights?” They’re looking at the 21st century with 19th and 20th century glasses. The assumption is that 1.4 billion Chinese must be suffering under some evil CCP. Black-and-white thinking that doesn’t fit reality anymore. China’s going to build its own system. It might not match the Western model — and that’s fine by them. When China was weak and divided, nobody was exporting human rights or democracy to them. The British forced opium on China in exchange for tea. Western powers seized territory, set up settlements, and burned the Summer Palace. It remains now unrestored as a permanent reminder of history for Chinese to never be blinded by hubris again. Now the same voices show up acting as saviors: “Don’t you want a better government? What’s wrong with you?” The condescension is unreal says Kishore. China will choose its own path. It may not be perfect in Western eyes, but it’s theirs. Unlike America, they don’t pretend their civilization is a universal model the whole world must copy. They do what works for China. You do what works for you. They’re not exporting their system to anyone. No threat. No need to feel insecure about China succeeding on its own terms. The West needs to drop the savior complex and get used to it. The 21st century isn’t yours to dictate anymore. Paraphrasing Kishore Mahbubani answering questions about China in 2020.

🇳🇱 ASML: “The key question is how many years we hope China will stay behind.” Yes, they hope. Hope that 1.4 billion people can be technologically frozen by a maintenance embargo. Hope that the 21st century ends at a button they can push. What a delusion. ASML is now refusing to service its own lithography machines sold to China. Not only banning future sales, but actively cutting off software and technical support from machines already paid for. It’s not business, it's piracy. But let me tell you what happens when the West “cuts off” China: 📍 When the US denied GPS access, China built BeiDou. 📍 When the US kicked China out of the ISS, China built Tiangong. 📍 Now the Dutch cut off lithography service. And China? Will build its own. In the Chinese memory, these aren’t endings. They’re beginnings. You never “delayed” China. You only reminded it to remember, and to never forget. You have chosen the path of escalation. We have chosen the path of inevitability.

Chen Weihua: ‘People are waking up to the fact that the Western powers are the real threat to the world, NOT China🇨🇳.’ ‘US soft power is declining fast, Israel is one of the most hated countries in the world. The US global standing is declining. Just look at US allies, those leaders are visiting China. Obviously, they were coerced by the US administration. Many of them were, I would say are puppet states in a certain way. They have been manipulated by Washington for a long time against China, especially in the last few years. But now they are waking up. You have Mark Carney talking about rupture, middle power, and all these things. So the world is changing, obviously. More people are awakening, and they are awakening to the lies those Western nations told for years, repeatedly using their propaganda, smearing China and painting China as a threat to the world. But if you look at what has happened in the world in the last couple of years, it is not China. It is the United States. It is Israel. It is the G7. It is NATO. It is the Western powers who claim to be the international community.’ —Chen Weihua （陈卫华）, former EU Bureau Chief of China Daily, on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇

#ChinaGovernance President Xi Jinping: “This country is its people; the people are the country.” With its mega-projects, China is often dubbed as an “infrastructure maniac”. But these projects are not just engineering feats; more importantly, they are about the people. The Tianshan Victory Tunnel, the world’s longest expressway tunnel, which opened in December 2025, is a case in point. “It’s not as if drilling through the mountains was easy; but we did it because there are people on the other side of the mountains.” Today, the travel time has been cut from four hours to just 20 minutes. Here lies the true value of our infrastructure.

Israel bans Chinese smartphones… and orders its officers to use iPhones only. The big question everyone is asking: If the reason is “security,” then why are only iPhones allowed? Is it because Israel can control iPhones… but not Chinese or Korean devices? The funniest twist? 85% of all iPhones are manufactured in China. So the ban isn’t really about “China”… It’s about the devices Israel cannot easily spy on. Bottom line: This ban is the best free advertisement China could ever get— and a massive embarrassment for Apple: Why does an entire army trust your device this much?

Have you ever wondered why Mahatma Gandhi placed such emphasis on khadi? Why did he frame the entire freedom struggle around the concept of khadi? And why did he only wear khadi? Because khadi is not just a cloth. Khadi is the expression of the people of India. It is the imagination, it is the sentiment, it is the productive force of the people of India. It is the expression of the people of India. Whichever state you go to, you will find different fabrics, and you will find that all these fabrics represent the people. When the people of Assam give you gamcha, they are not just giving you a piece of cloth; they are giving you a piece of their history, their tradition, their imagination. It's the same with people from other states. These fabrics are beautiful, but when you see these fabrics closely, you will find that each one of them has thousands of little threads embracing each other. All threads are equal. The threads cannot protect you or keep you warm, but when they come together as a fabric, they can keep you warm, protect you, and they can express what you have in your heart. In the same way, our nation is also a fabric. A fabric made up of 1.4 billion people, and the fabric is woven together by votes. The idea that every thread, every person in the union of India is equal - that disturbs my friends in RSS. They are happy to see the fabric, but they cannot stand the idea that every single person in our fabric, in our country, is equal. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi in LokSabha

The Rise of Chinese girls in America. In 2018, Charlie Munger explained why Americans have so many adopted Chinese Girls. “Every American private school is full of the discarded Chinese girls and they're getting all A's and winning prizes” Charlie explains why this happened: “Because there was so much poverty in China and it was so overpopulated, if an American couple who had no child of their own, they could go to China and adopt a poor Chinese girl.” He makes a very important point: “So in every important city of America, people soon learned that they got better babies by taking the unwanted Chinese girls from the Chinese farms. Those babies on average worked out better than if they had their own children. So everyone wanted a Chinese girl." Charlie explained how they are winning in America: "Every American private school is full of the discarded Chinese girls and they're getting all A's and winning prizes. They're spectacularly successful. You go to Minnesota and see these Chinese girls, they're playing the difficult instruments in the orchestra."

This is What It Means to Have Balls It’s a kind of psychopathy. That’s the only word for it. They are killing people wantonly. They are bombing schoolgirls — 150 of them. Not combatants. Children. And the machinery of Western power grinds on as if this is simply the cost of doing business. Thirty years. Thirty years of this madness. And it has cost us trillions. Not billions — trillions. Trillions bled out of the American body while the roads crack and the bridges rust and the living standards of ordinary Americans stagnate or fall. Netanyahu is a madman. That is not hyperbole — it is a clinical description of a man who operates outside every boundary of law, humanity, and restraint. And Israel, under his direction, has become what it has become: a rogue, murderous state that kills with impunity because it has calculated, correctly, that Washington will cover every crime, fund every atrocity, and veto every consequence. Trump is an utter disgrace to this nation. Let that be stated plainly. Every word of America First was a lie. Every promise of restraint, of ending the forever wars, of putting the American people before foreign entanglements — inverted. Reversed. Betrayed. He did the exact opposite of what he told the American people he would do. The exact opposite. Congress? Dead. It does not matter whether it is Johnson or Schumer. These people are useless. They are on the Zionist lobby’s payroll and they have been for decades. They have squandered our wealth. They have squandered our strength. They have mortgaged the future of this country to a foreign policy that serves no American interest whatsoever. Ask yourself the simple question: why does China have 50,000 kilometers of high-speed rail — roughly 30,000 miles — and the United States has not one mile? Why is Chinese infrastructure advancing at a pace that would have seemed impossible a generation ago while American infrastructure is literally falling apart? The answer is not complicated. China does not go to war. The United States is in nonstop, undeclared war. War that is never voted on, never debated, never honestly accounted for. The cost is not just money. It is freedom. It is the steady transformation of this republic into a military state — one that funds foreign carnage while its own people live on crumbling foundations, both literal and figurative. This is madness. It is shocking, disgraceful, and it is bankrupting the United States, morally and financially. And Trump lied. Every word of it. Every last word.
