    NATO leftist strikes again. And he has a Taiwan flag. Dude can go fuck himself for that. The homophobic Ukrainians would probably murder his ass but keep simping for them.

      There's a certain curiosity to watching liberals' understanding of China retreat to the frontiers.

      They've given up on "Free Tibet". The Uighurs are falling down the memory hole. Now Taiwan is the extent of liberals' understanding of Chinese socio-economics. Gotta wonder how long before they're demanding China decolonize Singapore, Vietnam, and Japan.

        People seem to have forgotten about the Hong Kong riots roughly 15 minutes after the NED money dried up and the consent manufacturers had to be transferred elsewhere.

          Honestly I still don't know what those protests were even about? Were they even about democracy? Cus I recall their demands did nothing that would have changed the fact that Hong Kong is basically 5 banks in a trench coat.

            a proposed bill for the extradition of criminals to taiwan, macau, and the mainland is what it started over
            the case that started the bill was a hk couple who went on holiday to taiwan, then the boyfriend murdered the girlfriend

            They were mad that the central government wanted to exert any level of control over the five banks in a trench coat iirc

            At their core, the protests were about a sense of localist superiority. I'd say "ethno nationalism" but Hong Konger isn't really an ethnicity separate from Guangdong people. The rioters thought that they were superior, "more civilized" because of exposure to British rule. Hence shit like calling other Chinese people "locusts" and flying the HK flag.

            It's one of the reasons the protesters' cause flopped categorically with anyone old enough to remember British rule.

              That's such a weak branch to base a movement on, I guess that's the power of cia money to mobilize even slightly disaffected people.

              Also can you imagine the US government response to the kind of actions the protesters took for what was essentiallya secessionistmovement? They would have run out of body bags.

        Stroke rates in Japan spike as all Kanji is replaced by hiragana.
