    Love how China is actually taking a serious inventory of their societal problems and is trying to fix them, between this and poverty and climate change and app delivery drivers getting full workers' rights. Feels like the polar opposite of America.

    Which I guess is why they need to be so relenetlessly slandered in the west in order to be hated and feared and not seen as something to emulate.

      France did the same thing 10 years ago lol. This isn't even a socialism vs capitalism thing, it's an America is uniquely terrible thing.

      only thing it's useful for is math tbh, also programming because how the fuck else are you gonna learn that except by doing it. If I didn't have mandatory homework for both my calculus classes I wouldn't have gotten A's.

        I think things change when you're looking at university level education, where things are more self directed. My niece is 7 years old and stressed out over homework, that's fucked up.

        Homework for both of those things is useless- it's just reinforcing doing it wrong, or it's wasting your time

    Xi fears a new cultural revolution and starts appeasing the red guards before they visit him at his home.

    Tangential to this, a few years ago, the party did a massive campaign against food leftover waste (encouraging people to take their extra restaurant food home) and everyone I met in the city I was in was talking about it with pride and down with it. Like they were all on the same page. It was also when they were really cracking down on corruption (and took out a few people) -- and from my small sample, that had strong public support too.
