    We promised to provide it by the end of the plan and we will keep to that promise?
    I have seen no indication that Mozambique is going to leave CyPac. One would think that if their ambassador was agitating about it, it would be mentioned in the text.
    Also, Mozambique shares a land border with South Africa. I cannot imagine they would object to no longer sharing said border with a western aligned country.
    Or to wrapping up a conflict that would threaten to send refugees fleeing across said border to Mozambique.

    Edit: I'm concerned about the level of Japanophobia in Guangchou. It's one thing to despise the Japanese ruling class, but quite another if that attitude extends to the Japanese working class.
    We may wish to consider some public education campaigns on the matter sooner rather than later.

    Hmmm, it is concerning.

    Japan has a bunch of native communist movements in this time period, doesn't it ? I heard they were kind of crazy…

    Japan's had a socialist movement since the late 1800s and a Communist Party since the 1920s. If you're talking about the Japanese New Left from the 1960s then they've probably burned themselves out by now unless the QM has something particular in mind.

    The Japanese anarchists for various reasons actually were more popular and powerful than the Japanese communists.
     
    I'm very curious what will come out of the labor council debates about how to handle the free time created by automation.

    HC, will we know what that bonus is before we pick a new national bonus for the next 5YP?

    An Abridged and Incomplete List of Guang Fashion Movements (circa 1990)
  • Sidestory
    • This came up in the Discord, so I thought I'd cross post here for everyone else:

    An Abridged and Incomplete List of Guang Fashion Movements (circa 1990)​

    Constructivist - Abstract and minimalist, designed to be easily fabricated, but having drifted from the original minimalist ideal and into more utilitarian stylings with a minimalism suborned to practical concerns.

    Red Kitsch - A rebellion against the minimalism of Constructivism, Red Kitsch is all about embracing fine detail and extravagant decoration. It's a way of saying 'why shouldn't we have nice things? Isn't communism supposed to let us all live like royalty?"

    Fuyao - Negative connotation, chinese garments that are strange. Embraced as avant garde. A breakaway of Red Kitsch, which shed the stylistic links and red/green/gold color palette. If it makes your old fashioned grandma complain, it's probably Fuyao.

    Loi-Thoi - Anarchronistic. Traditional garb and walkman and sneakers, etc. Born from mixing modern consumer goods wild traditional pre-industrial stylings.

    Saibafuku - Traditional fashion and aesthetics through the lens of high tech. An evolution of Loi thoi. Think Tron light stripes on kimonos.

    Aparatchic - The equivalent of business formal, minimalist with military overtones, design to communicate seriousness.

    Fanpan - Popular among Taiwanese refugee youth, a sort of ripped jeans militarism that lionizes armed struggle and rebellion.

    AN: I'd intended to go into more detail and possibly add a few more, but given how busy I am I figured it would be best to just post what I've got.
