*Caleb Larson* *Security, Asia* They replaced the AK-47 and is definitely a weapon that shouldn't be ignored. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* These two rifles are what the People’s Liberation Army forces would likely be equipped with in case of conflict. Since at least 1997, the QBZ-95 has been the People’s Liberation Army’s standard-issue rifle, replacing the older Type 81 assault rifle (which was itself a modified copy of the iconic AK-47).

The Civilization and The Nation

What is more critical: the civilization or the nation? The nation is made by the civilizational forces, and the civilizational forces are made by the nation. This means that both—the civilization and its nation—have a symbiotic relationship. The civilization is an abstract and timeless idea which is the fountainhead of the culture which drives the nation, whereas the nation is a concrete reality which exists at a particular time and in a particular space. If the nation suffers a decline, it can be mended, but once the idea of civilization breaks down, it cannot be mended—thus, the c...
