I’m seeing all these articles about overseas Chinese police stations and :cracker: s are acting as if they uncovered underground Fallout-style spy rings or something. Does anyone know what they are actually for? I’m assuming they’re just there to work alongside the local police departments like they have in various African nations.

    China really needs to hit harder and stop playing nice. This shit did the Soviet Union in. Russia's been paving way with the global south because of its aggressive Anti-NATO propaganda that many willingly listen to.

        Maybe an exaggeration, but it helped alienate the Soviet Union by constantly conjuring images of it being an impressive hellhole. Soft Power goes a long way because most people are apolitical and unaware. It's why the US has so many people simping for it because of Hollywood. All they know is that America is a good place to live just like the people on TV.
