Among the materials are stocks of fuel, including crude oil and natural gas, valuable manufacturing metals like copper, iron ore and cobalt, and in particular precious metals like gold, said Newsweek.
Woah a country stockpiling oil reserves, what an absolutely unprecedented and unnerving development.
The sinister, unscrupulous, mysterious Chinese are searching for dinosaur remains
don’t forget inscrutable
🤣
On a similar note, weird how you don’t hear about Chinese Ghost Cities anymore
lol right, I remember how they paraded that one subway station to “nowhere”, and then somebody did video of it a few years later where it’s now in a middle of a bustling metropolis
What a weird idea to build housing and facilities before you dump a half million people onto a chunk of land.
the inscrutable oriental mind at work 🤣
Its sooo expensive and labour intensive to build subways underneath existing and occupied city.
Got the receipts right here
You do. Because they never update reports about it, westerners’ knowledge about them is still exclusively from 2010

Nah you’ll find that shit on most platforms.
If only there were an example of a historical event where global supply systems were disrupted, a situation that would have been smoothed out by this kind of stockpiling of strategic resources.
Xi observing the progress of bird flu and the resurgence of COVID and hitting the big “
do any kind of preparation at allGOMMULISM” button.
It’s only Responsible Foresight if it takes place in the Anglo region of Terra. Otherwise, it’s just oriental inscrutability.
Why would anyone want to move away from just-in-time logistics? It’s not like it’s created trade crises on a global scale lol
I love systems that can be completely ground to a halt by one thicc
JIT logistics is hella resilient in a time of more frequent and severe pandemics and weather too
My brother going through college online during the height of COVID and being taught that JIT is the most efficient and flawless system there is.
I mean it kind of is provided nothing ever goes wrong.
It’s crazy that super simple stuff requires a nation to be communist. It’s like if ever a political philosophy seeks to centralize wealth then it invariably becomes this autophagic black hole that produces leaders that fucking suck. Directly making life a little better for people instead of worse takes this Herculean effort. You have to fend off the military might of a world spanning global hegemony with enough nuclear payloads to wipe out every city center on Earth in order to build houses for the purpose of letting people live in them.
“I want to make sure we have enough resources in case something bad happens.”
“MAHORAGA HELP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH HELP ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH MAHORAGA!!!”
Even Mahoraga can’t adapt to the insane efficiency of the Dengist Economy.
The actual article is a fair bit more sinister than the idea that westerners don’t know how to plan for the future (which is still pretty funny).
It basically specilates that China is stockpiling resources to prepare for war and sanctions from the us. If this is true, it is fairly obvious that this is only a natural reaction to the recent belligerent turn of the Americans and their vassals.
Right, China would be stupid not to do that given how things unfolded with Russia and US openly talking up war with China now.
So they don’t have to pull 90 year old retirees back to the factory to explain to new employees how to manufacture javelin missiles
What the fuck ya’ll got all that food in your fridge for?
Makes you think.
When uh was this 🫠🫠🫠 we’re really going to war with China aren’t we?
Let me be clear, I used the dev tools in Firefox to manipulate that page, just to flip the script a little if you will.
Oh okay ty
Westerners: “but you could make more PROFITS!?!” [rending of garments, weeping]
Wisconsin with its secret cheese vaults-
Xi just doesn’t have enough APM to use it all in time. Common noob mistake
Your timing in the early parts of the game is hella important, if you are floating too many resources, you’re never going to get a proper ling rush out in time.
Unrelated but Xi always looks like such a boss. Even on lib central reddit I was reading random discussion about how photogenic the fuy always looks. He always seems to be in such equilibrium
