I didnt make any political references. The "How much is the CCP paying you" is a meme in itself. You hear that even regarding Tencent. I know too little about internal chinese politics to make a comment on it.
For this, if it is on the Chinese Internet, I may think it is a meme, but in an English forum, I can hardly believe it is a meme. After all, due to different sources of information received, it is possible that one may really be perceived in this way (such as the magical social credit score... To be honest, it would be great if that score system really existed. At least I can afford that terrifying housing price.)
The Ottomans have a red flag as well.
Yes, I think the reason it wasn't added was just that the person who made this meme forgot that the Ottoman flag was red.
Tbh it would be weird if the Ottoman built any walls. Fortifications, but not long walls. By the time the Ottomans came around canons were a thing. Imagen they build a wall along the Danube. Everyone across the other side would simply laugh.
You don't need to be so serious, but when it comes to the defense of the Great Wall, it is actually different from the city wall. The role of the Great Wall is not to intercept, but to delay. It can lock the nomadic people who come and go like the wind in several definite gaps and hinder their entry into the country. Osman obviously wouldn't face nomads and barbarians in the forest.

Idk how much access you have, but the internet is full of credit score/CCP/XI Jinping memes. Chinese gachas are also fairly popular and have a fair share of memes as well. Genshin Impact is a cultural phenonemon across the globe. Eitherway I am obviously not going to make a joke, if it comes across offensive.

1. I am not taking it serious at all. I am joking about the idea of the Ottomans building a wall along the Danube.

2. These barbarians/nomads conquered China and are in charge in 1337. They know how to use canons.

3. The Ottomans faced several nomads and nomadic turks were an issue they faced all the way into the 19th century. Most prominantly against Timur.

If I don't use special methods, my access permissions are very low due to internal firewall issues. I know Westerners often come up with strange memes because we receive different information from each other. After all, the media is the mouthpiece of the government, and we can never obtain complete information.
To be honest, some of those strange memes and stereotypes are really funny, but some will make most Chinese feel very strange. For example, the meme of squinting eyes (if not told that this is racial discrimination, I think it's quite interesting.) Most Chinese people's eyes are not small. Chinese people have not evolved smaller eyes to protect their eyes from frostbite because they live on the ice field. Our skin is not yellow either, with a skin color similar to that of southern European people. Some memes give me the impression that there is a group of small eyed humans carved from carrots living on Chinese soil.
As for the person I can't say, I don't know what his rating on 4chan is, but his rating on the Internet in China is relatively high.Although the epidemic has indeed led to a decline in his evaluation.
I also know some strange news about racial oppression. I don't know why media like BBC focus on reporting on those places, because if there is really any racial oppression, the oppressed ethnic group is probably Han Chinese. If the West really wants to kill this red dragon, it only needs to focus on the lives of ordinary Han people in the core areas of China.
(Some additional things: China's current state is a black dragon trapped by red chains, with revengeful and nationalist tendencies accumulating. This red government is suppressing most demons in cages. I believe that if it weren't for socialism, China would have become something even more terrifying than the Axis powers of World War II.)
 
I think it may never open, because on the one hand, technology cannot save it. The Terra Cotta Warriors were colored when they were first excavated, but they quickly lost their color due to oxidation. The same reason also appears in the excavation of bamboo slips. Many bamboo slips oxidize and turn black as soon as they are excavated, making them unreadable. This is a form of damage.
As for another reason, there was indeed an extremely large amount of mercury in the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, which was a serious problem for archaeological excavations.
Come on, one day they will surely excavate it.

Chinese historians and archeologists don't talk about it? They all just accept and agree upon this "we won't excavate it now" decision? A bit disappointing, I had hoped there is a discourse about it in China and there are people willing to start digging.

It has the potential to be as big as the Tutankhamun's tomb.

I really won't talk about this now, because the general understanding in the Chinese archaeological community is that it's best not to disturb them. So archaeological excavations in China are basically salvage excavations (such as when certain cemeteries have been stolen or when the subway has to pass through this area)

Sorry, there was an error in the mechanical translation. I just realized........
It's not that I don't want to talk about it anymore........
It is the Chinese archaeology circle that will not discuss the excavation of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
holy! shit! Damn mechanical translation!
I really won't talk about this now,
That's why I say it's difficult for me to translate Chinese historical materials. Google always translates what I want to express into completely opposite meanings. :(

Haha, ok, I saw it and thought "well then, I won't push the topic any further" ;)

I find it quite strange to be honest. I bet that if archeologists in my country, in Egypt or in Greece, knew about such tomb they would start working on a solution and try to excavate it safely as soon as possible. Meanwhile Chinese archeologists seem to do... nothing. Not inventing some new and safe method to safely unearth those artifacts. Unless they already know there's nothing there and don't want anyone to know...

This is the difference between ideology and history, because in modern times, Chinese archaeologists opened the tomb of the Ming Dynasty emperor due to a serious archaeological accident. Then those exquisite burial objects, especially books and silk fabrics, were quickly oxidized and damaged. Afterwards, the archaeological community in China developed the idea that if cultural relics are not in danger of being destroyed, the best way to protect them is not to touch them.
This is the consensus of the entire Chinese archaeological community.
However, the tomb of the First Emperor can still be detected through some additional methods, such as mercury content, to infer the direction of the underground palace.
Of course, there are calls to open the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but those people also believe that it can only be opened when the cultural relics can be truly protected.But the technology that can improve the preservation of cultural relics may only exist in the paradoxical time of 2200 years.
