This could even be the jumping off point for a cold or hot war as the conservatives are already saying "cAN tHiS COuNt aS An ASsaSsINaTiOn?" and the libs will be jerking themselves off on civility porn like after 9/11 and go right along with it.
The anti-China stuff is just too convinient for American bourgeoisie interests to not ramp up, no matter what happens.
Oh it's already here. Last year when they announced the Marvel Shang-Chi I was like, how are they possibly going to sidestep the racism inherent to the original source material?
Now I'm like, nevermind, they're just going to lean into it as much as they can 😄
In later years, he gains the power to create countless duplicates of himself
really diving into that "yellow horde" bullshit
That and being the literal son of Fu Manchu, "yellow peril incarnate," because Marvel couldn't license David Carradine's Kung Fu TV show in the 70s and bought the Sax Rohmer estate instead.
Btw I've seen your name a couple times and it is confusing without the characters. Feel free to copy and paste this if you want: 中国机器人
missing a 的
EDIT: wasn't trying to make a grammar correction, the pinyin username had one in it is all
I'll happily defer to someone who is more 中国通 than me, which isn't very hard to be.
That's said, 的 (possessive) is a tricky thing. You can technically use it on anywhere you would use an apostrophe in English, but that doesn't mean you need to or you should. The very first semester taking Chinese you will learn the phrase "我家“ -- my family. Why no possessive? Because it's self evident that the family is yours.
A cursory search seems to me that 中国机器人 is pretty common, and for some reason feels more 口语 to me. But like I said, that isn't worth much, so I'd love to hear your input.
Yeah, that's a good explanation. It's very much a rhetorical style thing: The Chinese Robot versus The Robot Which Is Chinese.
No harm no foul! Except for maybe the original poster, for whom I guess this whole discussion wasn't very helpful. 💁
What? People are calling this a Chinese attempted assassination? Every fucking day this country amazes me its bottomless pit of stupidity.
This weird freak is at least

If Trump does die if COVID, I can roll with the Chinese assassination narrative.
How many leftist countries can honestly claim a US President on their kill tally?
I honestly don’t think that if trump dies the right wing will be able to whip up the kind of blind nationalist rage on a scale necessary for war with China but hey I could be wrong. If he lives relatively unscathed is a different story.
This might be true but I’ll be surprised if they can whip up the kind of fervor from the general public for something like that to be sustained. I see it playing out as a very feeble attempt to stoke tensions that comes from the top down and simply does not take as well without dear leader trump.
I dunno, the China virus feels half hearted at best. Just shit stirring more than anything. (only in terms of larger scale impact- on the dog whistling level, asians have been attacked in the streets)
It seriously shouldn't have been that hard to keep the POTUS safe during a pandemic. He has literally all the resources in the world. No excuse.
Just goes to show that the people at the top are just the same morons as the rest of us
„Elites“ my ass
Worst part is that most Chinese (and wider Asian) diasporas have basically done sweet fuck all in terms of becoming coherent political or mutual aid blocs.
When the street violence or police raids come, we probably won't see nearly as many allies as BLM or Latin people got.
Trump ain't dying. Right now NBC is running a special report on how not sick he is.
