Cankles-McJeggings Cris Balding is always worth following for China insight - he is usually bang on. He is an ex-Economics Professor of Peking University (China’s most prestigious) whose tenure was not renewed for speaking a bit too much ‘truth’ 😆 He still has tons of in the know contacts who dribble out information they want to get out but can’t post themselves. His take:

      Yeh thought as much. A holiday in the revocation camp with complimentary tea and biscuits upcoming!

      bosstrabs there is quite a bit of reporting on these events in the main media here, which is not something I’ve seen before. So I wasn’t sure if what was happening in China is bigger than anything seen before or because it’s covid related the U.K. media are reporting it more

        Certainly looks like it’s kicking right off. Even Roland rat is sticking the boot in. ‘ The golden era is over’.

        One of the reasons I moved to a house (even though it’s fucking expensive to live in a house here) was to avoid getting caught in a lockdown because one nong turned up positive and my whole block got sealed.

        No wonder people are getting rowdy.

          Stay safe, Dave.

          I still don’t understand where all the government paranoia stems from? Why are COVID cases being treated like leprosy out there, when the vaccines are working for the rest of the world?

            Both Sinovac and Sinopharm are inactivated viruses (traditional vaccines), rather than mRNA. Possibly less efficacy?

            Anyway I have a nice well-heated house in old Beijing and I’ve found a superb app that sends masseuses (guaranteed 24 hour negative nucleic acid test, and you can choose from their galleries) to your gaff, so I’m just playing PS5, eating delivered food from the bossest restaurants, and getting rubdowns from tidy bints.

            Helps put a further stranglehold on the supply chain

              RichM A nong is a Chinese peasant/farmer, so while I may be many unsavoury things, a ‘nong’ would be a somewhat off the mark description.

                  Careful Rich, there’s room in Dave n Derm’s SEX CONTAINER for more than one!

                      Mad_Cyril why do you think I was poking the beast, I want in on the SEX CONTAINER!!

                        SEX CONTAINERS is the name of the restaurant I’m going to open in Shanghai’s old port.

                          bosstrabs Surely they need to bite the bullet and get some pfizer out there. Or at least Covishield from India.

                            LOL @ the Chinese importing anything from India.

                            Totally politically unacceptable, an admission that the dark-skinned, hated Indians are technologically superior.

                            You have to realise that in the East Asian mind, dark skin is inextricably linked with inferiority, being a peasant, dirtiness, lack of development. The vast majority, except the most enlightened and cosmopolitan ones will never see anyone with brown skin or their countries as an equal. Those aren’t my opinions, I very much like most Indians I’ve met in all honesty.

                            The Chinese only grudgingly tolerate us round eyes from the USA, Britain, France and Germany because they like the look of light skin and we are still more technologically advanced. Oh, and the Spanish and the Italians because they have ‘good food’ apparently (basically because they use rice and noodles). That’s about it.
