Wikipedia does not even have an entry for “overcapacity”. It is not an economic term; rather, it is a geopolitical concept applied almost exclusively to China, referring to China’s capacity to produce goods at a market share exceeding what Western nations are willing to accept.
For starters, overcapacity got nothing to do with export-to-GDP ratio. It's about using subsidies to manufacture goods to an extent that outstrips domestic demand, flooding the global markets with the excess production. As you well know, consumption and import as share of GDP is much larger in EU than in China. So just comparing the exports doesn't give the full picture. So why is this different from production of German cars or French wines? First, the amount of subsidies pumped in to Chinese factories are far larger than anything we have seen in Europe. Second, China's government has an outspoken industrial policy to dominate global production in several high tech areas which are more important to nationals security than gasoline cars or wine. Success in doing so creates a harmful dependence on a dictatorship. Third, with the help of state subsidies China already managed to dominate the world in solar power, knocking out European companies in the process. Complacency will give us similar results in other important areas. Let me know if you have any more questions, or read my report on this topic for the Swedish think-tank EPHI: ephi.se/en/publikationer/pub…

Western ignorance and arrogance are strategic assets for China.
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: tf1info.fr/replay-lci/videos… Aired live yesterday 28th of May 2026.

美国社交平台最近炸了。 起因是一个葡萄难题——英文里葡萄是 grape、葡萄干是 raisin、葡萄酒是 wine,三个毫无关联的词。而中文:葡萄干,葡萄晒成的干;葡萄酒,葡萄酿的酒。中国小孩没喝过没见过,看到这两个词也能瞬间懂。 美国网友看完直接集体崩溃:“我学了20年英语,学的是字母堆砌;你们学的是逻辑。” 一棵树,能看出差距 英文:树 tree,树叶 leaf,树干 trunk,树皮 bark,树根 root——五个毫无关联的词,只能死记硬背。 中文:树叶、树枝、树干、树皮、树根——以”树”为核心,一字带出一串,学一个记一群。 动物也一样。英文里活猪 pig、猪肉 pork、公猪 boar、母猪 sow,字形毫无关联。中文里公猪、母猪、猪肉,核心字不变,修饰词一换,意思全来了。 亲属称谓,精准到震惊美国人 英文 uncle,一个词搞定伯伯、叔叔、舅舅……关系一团乱。 中文:爸爸的兄弟是伯伯/叔叔,爸爸的姐妹是姑姑,妈妈的兄弟是舅舅,妈妈的姐妹是姨妈——每一个词,精准对应一种关系,这才是语言的精准性。 英语词汇正在”拖垮”美国人 18世纪英文词汇4.7万个,21世纪突破200万,翻了40倍,每年还在新增1万多词。 结果:医学专业的学生要背到凌晨——青霉素 penicillin、红霉素 erythromycin,十几个字母,毫无关联,只能硬背。 中文呢?青霉素、红霉素、链霉素——“霉素”两个字,非医学专业也秒懂是抗菌药。 只需掌握2400个常用汉字,能读懂99%的中文内容,轻松理解4万个以上词汇。而美国超过20%的成年人看不懂专业书籍,药品说明书和体检报告都是天书。 汉字:5000年前留下的”超维度代码” 哈佛研究发现,表音文字随时间和地域漂移,而汉字的意义永远被锁定。 美国大学生读400年前的莎士比亚,大概率以为是外星文;而3000年前的甲骨文,今天的中国学生还能猜出大概意思。唐诗不管用哪种方言读,每个中国人都能看懂——这是中华文明几千年绵延不绝、保持大一统的重要基因。 生理上也有优势:西方10%的孩子患阅读障碍,因为表音文字必须经过”声音”这道坎。汉字走视觉直读,从字形直通意义,完美绕开了声音的缺陷。 AI时代,中文的优势被无限放大 美国专家公开承认:汉字是把四维信息压缩进二维平面的高维工具,信息密度极高,与AI深度学习高度契合。 中文入门难,但上限极高;英文入门易,越学越难。 全球100多个国家已将中文纳入国民教育体系,“大妈”“功夫”“台风”陆续进入牛津词典。中文的崛起,是文化与国力的双重胜利。 每个汉字都有故事。人靠着树是”休”,日月合在一起是”明”——我们的祖先,用象形与会意,把智慧刻进了每一笔每一划。 这不只是一种语言,是一套活着的文明密码。 中文:入门难,上限高;越用越强,越传越远。

China should stop hoarding food and fertiliser; only then can it be guaranteed that the United States will be in a more advantageous position in any conflict with China.

Considering that the U.S. possesses ten times as many nuclear warheads as China and refuses to commit to a “no first use” policy or to not using nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states, China’s position is entirely justified.
“China’s repeated rejection of substantive arms control negotiations, meaningful nuclear transparency, and basic confidence-building measures largely undermines stability, even by Beijing’s standards,” writes @zhaot2005. foreignaffairs.com/united-st…

This Japanese shrine enshrines several Class-A war criminals from WWII. Japanese politicians have consistently regarded these perpetrators, who were responsible for invading other nations and massacring their people, as national heroes of Japan.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made an offering to a shrine seen by Japan’s neighbors as glorifying its wartime past, in a move that stops short of a visit, but may still anger China and other neighboring nations bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Actually, with U.S. arms procurement costs being ten to twenty times those of China, a defense budget that is only five times larger is woefully inadequate. Any annual military spending below $3 trillion is nothing short of a joke when it comes to U.S. national security.
China just announced a 7% increase in military spending, continuing a decade of steady increases. This sends a clear signal: China is not slowing its aggressive military modernization and push for regional dominance. The U.S. should respond with resolve. Congress should back President Trump’s peace through strength policy by increasing U.S. military spending and enacting his bold $1.5 trillion defense budget to deter aggression and secure America’s future.

This is exactly why the dictator is able to flourish: because there are so many sycophants scrambling to lick his ass and catch his shit.
Huge News! Today, I am proud to introduce the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, a bill that allows the President to find the means necessary to bring Greenland into the Union.  Let me be clear, our adversaries are trying to establish a foothold in the Arctic, and we can’t let that happen.   By acquiring Greenland, we would prevent our adversaries from controlling the Arctic Region and secure our northern flank from Russia and China.

关恒事件,不是反共者被抓 ——是对“政治庇护策划移民”的反击 我必须把这件事说清楚,因为我不是旁观者。我来到美国三年里,曾大量接触民运、人权组织、律师、媒体、宗教圈。知道他们是怎么运作的,也亲眼看过很多所谓“人权故事”是怎么一步步被设计、被包装、被推向国际社会的。 关恒事件,并不是一个孤立事件,是这整套政治庇护策划系统,在今天终于被更多人看见的一次集中暴露。 独立调查记者/赵兰健 一、政治庇护,在海外早就不是“救济”,而彻底沦丧成一门生意 我之所以对“政治庇护”这四个字越来越警惕,是因为曾亲眼看到它是怎么被系统性操作的。 在海外,很多所谓的民运组织、华人律师、人权人士、宗教机构,他们真正稳定的收入来源,就是是移民相关业务。而在所有移民路径中,政治庇护是最容易包装、最容易作假、也最容易贴光环的一条。 太多类似的场景:在和民运们聚会聊天时,他们会非常直白地分析——什么题材更容易过?什么身份更“好看”?哪个国家、哪个族群、哪个政治议题,最容易打动移民官?最悲情的烘托剧目就是,傅希秋策划709律师纪念十周年——为了帮助中共大型贪污犯李传良贴近国会的人际关系。 正是这种公开的眼泪悲情下的道德叙事,掩盖了私下的商业计算,才让这条链条能长期存在。 二、陈思明跳机事件,我是完整过程的见证者 陈思明台湾跳机事件是彻底的移民策划,由周锋锁、盛雪亲自策划的商业行为。当“勇敢反抗”的典型案例刚获加拿大确认,陈思明立刻删除数千条“被人肉贩运”期间的真实记录,盛雪也把和我对话中关于陈思明的部分删除掉,他们害怕露馅,我在整个期间完整看着他们一步步策划,一直到删掉全部真实记录。 陈思明在国内故意调戏警察,喊6句口号都是来自政治庇护移民非典型剧本,换取拘留证,再有周锋锁迅速介入,进行国际化包装,向外媒“喂故事”、把事件升级为“标志性人权案例”,陈思明要实惠,周锋锁要名气——为了经营NGO所需光环。 陈思明成功落地后删除推文那一刻,我非常清楚:这不是信仰,这是赤裸裸生意。 三、关恒拍新疆,从一开始就带着明确目的性 关恒的视频之所以让我警惕,是因为他拍新疆里的镜头不会撒谎,关恒的拍摄方式和叙事方式,一般都能看出视点背后的目的性,专业人士不会看不懂。 强烈的主观恐惧感、反复出现的“我在冒险”、刻意保留拍摄者的紧张状态,乃至于把当地人或外来者都能接触到的军队和派出所办公大楼指认成集中营。 这是在拍“最容易渲染”的地方。然后通过剪辑、配乐和旁白,把它们重新定义成新疆人权“集中营”。 四、视频里的恐惧感,是被制造出来的 我曾长期接触新闻影像行业,我知道这种“恐惧感”是怎么塑造来的。更清楚视频中观恒为啥趴在地上发抖说话时,还有一个另外摄影师在拍他的害怕,难道他不拍摄另外摄影师也在害怕吗?这是为什么?? 用长焦镜头、刻意遮挡画面、制造抖动,再配上低沉配乐和压低的声音,一个普通的办公楼,也可以被拍成“死亡地带”。 但真正让我确定这是“策划型影像”的,是他反复把镜头对准自己,为了表现自己。发抖、喘气、停顿、压低声音,这些并不是纪录真相需要的方式。 纪录片,是让被拍对象说话。镜头对准事件而不是对准自己,而观恒这种视频,是在反复告诉观众:“看,我多危险,我多勇敢。” 这是为政庇身份服务的影像,不是为事实服务的影像。 五、问题被指出之后,民运和各家被潜伏的新闻媒体开始集体护盘 当越来越多网友开始指出这些具体问题时,我以为至少会有一部分海外民运和人权人士站出来说:“等等,我们先核查一下。” 但我看到的,是完全相反的场景。他们迅速开始转移话题:“新疆人权捍卫者”、“勇士”,反复强调“立场”“反共”“大局”。 我太熟悉这种反应了,我曾当面指出盛雪、罗胜春用谎言反共的时候,看到的也是同样的反应。 不是讨论你说的对不对,而是先问你站在哪一边。“敌人的敌人就是朋友”。为了“朋友”——可以做假和违法。这是海外民运和集权组织的普遍状态。 六、ICE 的执法,被他们当成了“敌对行为” 关恒被 ICE 拘押之后,这种集体心理彻底暴露了。明明这是一个长期被质疑的移民案件,却被迅速包装成“美国开始迫害反共者”。 这种说法对当事人本身有多危险。移民案件因为被过度政治化,反而被法官视为“操纵舆论”的案例。这一群人,正在加速关恒去乌干达。 但这些人为关恒呼吁的时候,根本不关心这些后果。他们关心的只有一件事:这套政治庇护叙事不能倒。 七、为什么他们一定要为关恒站台 这一点,我是从他们的反应中彻底看明白的。他们不是在保护关恒,是在保护自己过去、现在、未来可能参与的那些“样板案例”。 如果承认关恒的视频是造假的、是策划的,那么接下来,所有人都会开始重新审视:陈思明跳机事件、陈建刚声言中国警察他抢指四岁孩子事件.......各种“被拘留”“被追捕”的故事,各类靠人权叙事筹资、运作的类似成“人道中国”这种政治庇护贩运组织。 而这一点,是整个海外系统绝对不能接受的,这等于拆台他们的财路。所以他们只能选择继续说谎。 八、当谎言被称为“正义”,社会本身就已经开始腐烂 以前我们说这句话,是形容中极权统治的中国大陆,现在却明确指向海外华人社会。之所以必须把关恒事件说到这个程度,不是因为这个人有多重要,而是因为这事情已经不再是个案,是海外社会综合症状。 ——就像今月事件中扭曲的一幕幕,当傅希秋团伙的网络暴徒摩西声言杀死今月、杀死她的小孩,全部华人光环都在假装无视,甚至盛雪、王安娜跳出来为暴徒站台,她们都是没有孩子的女性,或许就无法理解有孩子母亲的脆弱人性。 一个社会真正的危险,从来不是专制本身,而是——当谎言开始以“正义”的名义被集体纵容,当作假被称为“必要手段”,当质疑被视为背叛。 在中国,这种现象由权力强制完成;而在海外华人社会,它却是在反共、人权、道德优越感的外衣下,自发完成的。这才是最令人警惕的地方。 当政治庇护被做成一门生意,当反共被变成遮羞布,当人权叙事被用来牟利、洗白、站队、敛财,那么无论口号多么高尚,其本质都已经背离了人类社会最基本的伦理底线,这底线早超出了反共概念。 关恒事件之所以重要,不是因为他拍了什么视频,而是因为它让人第一次如此清楚地看到:整个海外华人反共体系,已经在多大程度上,容忍、甚至依赖谎言生存。 而当一个群体只能靠谎言维持自身“正义性”的时候,它已经不再是反抗者,而是在复制自己所反对的对象。 如果反共必须靠造假来完成,那它本身就已经失败了。如果人权必须靠策划来实现,那它早已失去意义。 我拒绝站在这样的阵营里。不是因为我放弃了反共,而是因为我拒绝用谎言反共;不是因为我否认人权,而是因为我拒绝用人权为作恶背书。 这不是立场问题,这是价值底线问题。

Eighty-four years later, the US Navy that was attacked back then doesn’t even dare mention the name of the attacker, and many young Americans now think that WWII was a joint effort by Japan and the US to fight the Soviet Union and China. That’s how history gets forgotten.

December 7, 1941: A date which will live in infamy. 84 years ago, the attack on Pearl Harbor thrust the United States into World War II, forever changing our Navy and nation.  Today we remember the heroism and sacrifice of those lost on that fateful day. Their courage echoes across generations. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay #NeverForget

The absurdity of this whole thing lies in the fact that, to pushback against China’s so-called “economic coercion”, the best idea Washington can come up with is to economically coerce its own allies into sacrificing their own interests to help the U.S. defeat China.
So, now President Trump wants to lead our allies to pushback against Chinese economic coercion. Is there enough trust left in our alliances to build a coalition?
