Oh, and the nouveau riche are the absolute worst (probably a lot of them in Australia).

Usually farmers who struck gold somehow (a shady deal, or sitting on land that a property developer paid millions for) and then go abroad and are still nationalist-peasant as ever.

But they’re not a lot different to the Russians in Europe in this regard.

bosstrabs although I obviously never enquire where their wealth came from, I have to deal with the latter (both Chinese and Russians until the war) on an almost daily basis. Just fucking horrible entitled cunts, who probably as you say, came from nothing. Same with Indians I deal with too. They are arguably the worst. But neither Indians or Russians are forced to do what they do, they just like doing it. I always get the feeling chinks are, no matter how rich or where it happened to come from, just subservient drones.

Even the less nationalist types are inflamed by this Pelosi thing.

I am not totally sure where I stand on it.

I was discussing it with an educated but fairly apolitical Chinese mate, though (studied in the UK), and he said “Can you imagine if Chinese military ships were going up and down the Irish sea whenever they felt like it and high-ranking Chinese politicians kept visiting Northern Ireland to stick their fingers in?” I know this equivalence doesn’t exactly stand up, but he has a point. We’d be fucking livid.

China regularly ‘stray’ into Australian waters. My gardener is in the navy and he says they do it on purpose. It’s called guns down or something. Where they are allowed to travel through to reach another international water. Thing is they are supposed to ask for permission in advance but never do. The other thing is where they are heading is of no interest to anyone as it’s towards the Antarctic and treacherous. They are just doing it to be caught and antagonise. A show of both defiance and strength. They are then escorted off Australian waters. This is a regular occurrence apparently. So often it doesn’t get reported in the media.

It is, of course, technically a civil war that has an uneasy peace.

Up until recently, the Republic of China (the Taiwanese) even claimed Nanjing (on the mainland) to be its official capital, which is where the capital would have been if the Nationalists had won. Only after decades did reality prevail and Taipei became the capital.

So all the Taiwanese you see on the news today telling America to fuck off and mind their own business? Pro China nationalists, planted protesters for China or concerned Taiwanese? Hard to know.

I have no idea as to their motives. Could be a combination of all three. I only know one Taiwanese person, and she’s working here on the mainland so isn’t a good gauge of Taiwanese public opinion.

On good news the referendum to remove the constutional protections to abortion in Kansas failed HUGELY. Something like 63-37. And it’s a very red state.

When Lindsay Graham and a gaggle of other meth and gay orgy twats went to Taiwan a few months ago there wasn’t a peep out of China. Why was this visit world news?

The Chinese were especially pissed off because Pelosi is number 3 ranking in government (behind only the President and VP). The Chinese don’t really understand separation of powers. As far as they’re concerned, someone very high up flew in on an official US Government plane, and the optics of that are very bad for them.

zackster

Because it wasn’t announced, and everyone likes Lindsey.

So Graham told China he was visiting Taiwan? If ever there was any more evidence needed that he was a greasy fucking weasel.

I think it was your rank homophobic remarks about the brave LGBTQ Senator from the great state of South Carolina that upset him.

A mate who still wears his Trump hat is using this Taiwan nonsense as an excuse to push his tenet that the world was “safer” under Trump. “Trump would’ve flown into Taiwan and then flown into Beijing to the same fanfare. It can’t be debated.” I’m pretty sure it can be debated, just not with a peabrain who watches Newsmax naked in a candle lit room.

The world had a lot more Bants under Trump. That’s for sure.

He’s a sweaty child molester with great bants. No question.

I can’t sweat. It’s a condition I have since the Falklands

zackster Who am I to argue with one who was radicalised whilst dancing around a handbag at Hard Times?
