I tend to keep a tab to the BBC news page open on my work computer to have something innocuous to switch to if my boss walks over. The China Derangement syndrome is getting really bad. :xi-god-emperor:
UPDATE - I made myself some tea :comfy:
Looking forward to western leaders crowding their various desks and lecterns with energy drink cans and starbuck's cups to demonstrate their dominance.
We must close the caffeinated beverage gap! :strangelove:
Every EU bureaucrat and functionary is now slaved to a complex tabletop drink system where if you angle one cup 2° off from what it's supposed to Fritz Van der Leyen will personally make sure no one in your country will ever see economic prosperity again
To be fair, when I drink an extra cup of tea in the morning it does feel like a power play
Could this be the thing that finally causes the Chinese economy to collapse?
When no one was looking, Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China, took forty cups of tea. He took 40 cups of tea. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
I used to be really into Xihu longjing. But now I'm into yellow and white tea. Lacks the lawnmower aspect of the green teas.
I don't think I've seen yellow tea before. Could you suggest a variety to try?
It's a niche tea that's not famous and only comes from one particular area of China. It's not cheap, either. I like it a lot though. Look for the appellation Pingyang.
It's pretty common to have two tea cups like that at business and other meetings, one is for tea and one is for warm water. Like I've seen CPC meetings where everyone has two cups, and smaller meetings will usually always have two cups for everyone.
Like the reason everyone else has one cup at the big Congress is probably becuase there are like 3000 people there and it would be a pain in the ass to refill both tea and hot water.
So the evil Xinnie the Pooh is asserting his dominance and going full alpha mode by demonstrating that he's worthy of the 3001st cup??
It became a power move as soon as these weird westoids assumed it was lmao
Also, what type of tea did you make?
Just some earl gray from the office kitchen! But it's a chilly morning and it's keeping my hands warm
Is it possible that he drank one cup of tea, and was then brought another cup but the first was not yet cleared away?
This is far more thought than this image deserves what am I doing :ohnoes:an anonymous source has told us xis personal tea cup remover has been executed by artillery fire for this faux pas
Meanwhile some kids went into an Asian seafood restaurants to terrorize and destroy I wonder why these things keep happening so weird.
I saw that video, it was insane. Was anybody hurt? Or did they just destroy property? I wasn't able to find an article at the time.
Edit: found an article, thankfully nobody was harmed
I didn't watch a video just saw an article on Fox news that came up on my phone. Ofc it's an Asian restaurant in Queens.
Is this like the media freakout when Trump had two scoops of ice cream?
One of the most disgraceful spectacles in a long parade of depravity.
I somehow missed that one. Had I known I would have been more vocal in getting the dang cheeto outta there
Yeah, it was this White House luncheon or something. Everyone had a scoop of ice cream. But Trump - he got - and this reduced me TO TEARS - he got two scoops of ice cream!
Legitimate, credentialed journalists who we trusted to tell us what was going on in important matters absolutely freaked out over it. They went into outraged tirades that lasted a full week.
Over a fucking scoop of ice cream.
Imagine being very thirsty being misconstrued as a power play
Oop i got beat up on the train by a homeless guy because i had two gatorades
Buddy wants two hot drinks when he's probably going to be speaking for 6 hours straight, what could it mean?
Is this from that same rag that explained that queen Lizzie really showed trump when she wore her special diss crown?
I wish our emojis were on other sites, this would put me directly to the top of any dating app.
:coming-to-xi-you: "God this meeting is going to take like ten hours better get some extra drink ready."
YOU MUST SEE THIS!!! :soypoint-1: :soypoint-2: DICK-TATER XI JINPING IS DOING A POWER PLAY TO SHOW HIS IRON-FIST CONTROL OVER CHINA!!!
