In the Chinese shows mentioned, high rent is explicitly mentioned in the series, while in your example it is implied that they make ends meet with their low-income jobs. It's not the focus of the series.
But they're based in it. Especially dramas or soap operas which work because people relate to the characters or at least realize that what they're going through can happen in the world. A silly example: a Cuban wouldn't make Breaking Bad because why would the protagonist need to find cash for his treatment or kids, when healthcare and education are free?
So while we can't tell how widespread the issues in those dramas are, it's valid to say that they do appear in China (or appeared when they were created).
That implication wasn't made. The original comment mentions how it took men 70 years to drain it (meaning that the drainage started during the USSR), and the comment below does not challenge that fact.
"Don't sell the weapons we're giving you to our enemies" holds both for purely state-owned and for-profit MICs. If anything, privatized for-profit corps have less of an incentive to force this ban. You gave your last order to the US and now you want to buy more stuff? Sure, profit is profit.
Not excusing Vanguard, but if you're running Windows then your entire kernel is a blob. If you're running most linux distros, then your kernel contains blobs for drivers.
The thought process is that they would destroy the Houthis ability to launch these attacks, so the red sea crossing would be safe again. I don't know how plausible that is, but it does make sense to me.
I have a feeling it has less to do with a foundational nature of evil, and everything to do with a population being impoverished, oppressed, and forgotten.
Instead of trusting your feelings and alluding that the Houthis launch missiles "because they're forgotten", you could list the actual reason they've given, which is enforcing a blockade against ships trading with Israel.
Given that statement, I'm sure that the Houthis will stop their strikes when Israel stops their ongoing genocide. The US could have their shipping lanes back if they stop funding and arming a genocide and force a permanent ceasefire.
I'd rather they skip or replace the IDF, but I want the rest of the models back, it's how the game was when I started playing it and it adds some variety. If they don't add them, it will be an obvious move to increase sales of player model skins ("agents") you can buy on the steam market.
It used to be that different maps had different models for CT/T. In dust 2 the CTs were the IDF, for example. Likewise there were western Ts too, like the Anarchists in Office.
I don't know if they'll port them to CS2 or not, will be a shitty move if they don't.
Going by the same logic Iran is also a winner because they got a live test for their drones and missiles
