Liu Cixin’s the Three-Body Problem book trilogy is one of the world’s bestselling Chinese sci-fi series, being read and endorsed by figures such as George R.R. Martin and Barack Obama. In Chinese public debates, however, critics highlight the series’ social Darwinist, misogynistic, and totalitarian tendencies, raising concerns about how the trilogy has been used by […]
I don't really agree with this and totally fucking love these books. However, it is a fairly interesting essay.
it is unsurprising that he defended the current Chinese regime
How tf did hexbear not immediately clock this a whiny liberal china-bashing site. It's so fucking obvious.
I think Liu is a liberal, but his bit of writing a book where the aliens are literally just white people and watching all the anglophile libs mald redeems him in my eyes. Y'all remember when kaplaya wrote "man if we go to nuclear war China shouldn't nuke the US back"? Yeah that's the sort of naivete Liu is satirizing.
There's a bit more nuance than that. Liu has said he idolizes people like Elon Musk for example. He's a conservative older Chinese guy. He also supports the party, which are beliefs that can coexist in China which cannot really coexist in a western context. And China has its share of terminally online young single men with terrible political opinions.
not interested in three body discourse, but speaking on the site it appears to be the most obvious lib "china watcher" site lol
Show
all white (including a xinjiang genocide pusher) except for three token chinese (all of whom migrated to the west and work at western universities)
Show
I unironically like that "china watchers" and "china watching" think tanks, "china studies" departments etc exist. Critical support for mooching off western money and feeding western strategists false information and lies about China
I still think China should retaliate if its nuked by the USA, i wonder what happen to Kaplya did he left because we agreed with doing a little posadism

They're still here, just using a different username again. (mildly frustrating when a user that makes a lot of predictions and also informative comments I like to refer back to keeps wiping their accounts!)
I love the fact that nobody bothers to figure out what that username means lol (except for the Russian speakers), because it’d be obvious.
FYI account wiping is out of my control. How many days the account lasts is determined by a randomly generated number. My life depends on me following through that.

Well in all fairness (and no offense) but I don't think most people actually care at all who used what username in the past. I'm just a nerd. But I didn't announce it here because I have no idea if you wanted your old and new names tied, I was just trying to be courteous.

Now see this makes me curious.
No offense taken! I only responded because I didn’t expect there are people who “remember” that account lol.
