Zhou Enlai, born on this day in 1898, was a communist revolutionary, statesman, and military officer who served as the 1st Premier of the People's Republic of China from 1949 to 1976. "All diplomacy is a continuation of war by other means."

Zhou was educated in a missionary college in Tianjin before studying at a Japanese university. In Tianjin, he met his future wife, Deng Yingchao while participating in a radical political group known as the "Awakening Society". In 1920, Zhou moved to France, where he helped form the overseas branch of the Communist Party of China. He also lived in Britain and Germany before returning to China in 1924.

While working in the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, Zhou was also made the secretary of the Communist Party of Guangdong-Guangxi, and served as the CPC representative with the rank of major-general.

After the Chinese Civil War broke out in 1927, Zhou served in the communist forces, helping establish and oversee a network of underground cells of communist resistance. Zhou played a leading role in the Long March of 1934-35, an arduous military retreat of communist forces over 8,000 miles.

Following the Zunyi Conference in 1935, Mao Zedong became Zhou's assistant. After the conclusion of the Long March, Mao officially took over Zhou Enlai's leading position in the CPC, while Zhou took a secondary position as vice-chairman. Both would hold their leadership positions until their deaths in 1976.

Zhou was a prominent participant in the 1955 Asian–African Conference, held in Indonesia. The conference produced a declaration in strongly in favor of peace, the abolition of nuclear arms, general arms reduction, and the principle of universal representation at the United Nations. Zhou was critical of American imperial aggression and stated "the population of Asia will never forget that the first atom bomb was exploded on Asian soil."

Zhou passed away from bladder cancer on January 8th, 1976, just nine months before Mao Zedong's death in September that year.

"Today the first unification of the Chinese people has emerged. The people themselves have become the masters of Chinese soil, and the rule of the reactionaries in China has been irrevocably overthrown."

Zhou Enlai, from "Chinese People Will not Tolerate Aggression" (October 1950)

My shitty Linux phone has finally broken in some way

None of the "apps" open

I can't even open a terminal to start an SSH server to log in remotely and see what's wrong lmao

I guess I'll just have to get it to boot from an SD card so I can try to "fix" it. It barely worked before and the battery lasts like 30 mins

I just want to go back to an Android phone at this point but all I have is an ancient out of support iPhone

Maybe I'll just use that and accept it's probably just gonna be full of malware and barely work. Anyone have any old phones they don't want lol? I can pay for shipping and maybe try to find some money to compensate you too. I'm just extremely broke rn

I love that for some Irish accents the words "Catholic" and "Film" have the same number of syllables.

My parents made a kid cry by repeatedly calling him a trump supporter. They were at a thing, watching the State of the Union, when my parents kept saying they shouldn't be so focused on Biden's mental health or appearance. The kid (a big time Dem, even though he can't vote) pointed out that was a bit hypocritical, considering they focused on those details of Trump a lot. They did not like that. Heard about it from the kid.

Anyone know why I have to use a private window in firefox to sign into Hexbear now? Login just shoots me back onto the mainpage without signing in. It's been doing that for a month or two.
