Forget Nothing, Learn.....?
Notably, one #CulturalValue shared by Semitic and Chinese #Civilisations is that neither forgets a slight. Ever. The lump of blame in their thorax does not dislodge readily.
The difference between the two is that the schematic (Lao Tzu) #Chinese learn from it; linear #Semites do not. The latter, as #Talleyrand observed about the #Bourbons, forget nothing and learn nothing.

Ah! I understand now. The Chinese are not playing, but the ball has
somehow lobbed back into the American court. So, in effect, any deal will
have to be done by and between the Americans themselves.

Replying to @PolymarketIntel
Last week, "the ball is in the Chinese Court". What is the "right direction" in which it is now moving?

Destroy History First
#Qing dynasty scholar, #GongZizhen, said that to destroy a country, you must first destroy its history. (In 2016, #XiJinping quoted Gong to justify the necessity for #CCPChina to govern the country "strictly.")

"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have someone write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was"
