      I'm becoming a fan of Chinese People's Liberation Army recruitment videos. Those guys know what they are doing.

      Here's a good thread of Chinese PLA recruitment videos. The first one really hits all the nationalist chords in a compelling way.https://twitter.com/CarlZha/status/1053134039744339969 …

      Chinese People's Liberation Army recruitment video. What strikes me most is the totally different ethos than the ones present in US military recruitment video that we are all familiar with. pic.twitter.com/WKqYUOkyCJ

          And here's a woke recruitment video (staring a Mongolian woman who steers a warship).https://twitter.com/CarlZha/status/1053455592721854464 …

          Final Chinese PLA recruitment video -- this one is more American. A rap soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTdOnDSPZ_Q&feature=share …

          Curious what you think we Europeans who have paid the price for nationalism make of it

          And in a less snide register, the tone here is SUPER of a piece with literal daytime soaps in China, which are often set in 30s and about sacrifice for greater good. This is a fancier version

          In ten years you’ll be a PLA captain* and I’ll think back to this tweet and say, “huh”. * I was going to write colonel, but I think the language barrier is going to be an issue.

          This one feels very much like a wake up call aimed at America. A shot across the bow, as it were.
