The wording is confusing, but I believe the Zhengzhou International Land Port is 50sqkm, not the factory. That also fits the numbers they're giving [1]: "Zhengzhou International Land Port Project announced ——total area of around 50 square kilometers", and that includes a lot of "open-air warehouse" (parking lot). It's still massive, but not quite as crazy.
As a private sector company their job is maximizing revenue forever.
There old slogan was "don't be evil"
they have a new slogan, which is "vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears"
I see your point with Wikipedia, but the writing is on the wall for LLMs: since they are replacing search engines for some users, it's only a matter of time before that experience gets polluted with "data-driven" ad clutter too.
If you believe that "vaccinations protect us against disease" is propaganda, I have very bad news about whatever information sources you've been following.
He was talking about the covid vaccines when he said that, which never prevented infection or spread. That belief started from a misunderstanding of the press releases.
He either didn't know what he was talking about or was making it a moral thing without regard to effectiveness.
People change due to criticism all the time, it really works. If criticism didn't work we wouldn't have so strong urges to do it, the feeling to criticize others is something we evolved to have.
Criticism might not change people the way you want however, it is like punishment vs rewards, you can change people by punishing them or rewarding them, both works to change people but in different ways and often punishment makes the person resent you so you should do it sparingly.
This is wrong in an important way (that's quite relevant to message boards like this one, about which you'll often hear that arguing about controversial subjects is pointless because nobody ever changes their mind). Basically, nobody ever individually changes their mind in the moment, so it appears as though debates are ineffectual. But that's only because people change their minds slowly, in private, in response to thousands of inputs.
And it might not even be the person you're talking to who eventually changes their mind. It might just be a reader, a thousand of whom exist for every one person visibly contributing.
You can't see the mind changing, but it's wrong to conclude that therefore it never happens.

Probably usually not. Broadcasting good intentions only gets you so far. For most of us it's high skill communication. Earned trust can pave past issues. Past that it's often a minefield of psych factors (you+them) - like having a good/bad day, internal disciplines, where is self-esteem in the equation. A good read on the other person can make mines visible.
