CSPAM appeal here for this service

quote:

Virtual Lovers
Virtual people are hardly an unfamiliar concept in China, given the growth of virtual influencers in fashion and ecommerce in recent years. Virtual lovers, however, are a less visible phenomenon, emerging as early as 2014 on online shopping platform Taobao, on Reddit-like website Baidu Tieba, and even as a “virtual girlfriend” developed by Microsoft, XiaoBing (which was hit with a WeChat ban in 2019).

Through these services, customers can buy romantic companionship, usually through texting, phone calls, and sometimes video calls, depending on their comfort level. Services many include listening to clients’ complaints about life, offering emotional support, and wishing customers good night. You can also request them to “cosplay” as anime and video game characters. Perhaps the movie Her was partly shot in Shanghai for good reason.

Like I pointed out in my post earlier, Duterte used "this organization took money from the NED!" as an attack line against liberal critics of his administration.

The problem is that it's true.

thats probably the closest analogy but theres not as much of an emphasis on hostesses as there is on the other services like you can bring your own women and both the cases i mentioned last page did but whether the women you bring are friends family coworkers escorts or whores is up to you and no business of the club itself who would probably just as soon avoid liability if at all possible

Was it this thread that said Vietnam has the best Covid response? Looks like Vietnam has buckled and Laos and Cambodia are still holding the center. Myanmar also has better death to population ratio than Vietnam.

The whole Indochina region does very well, while the South Asia region does badly. There has to be something related to the weather/temperature/geography.



Also, Singapore has 10x more cases than HK but only half the deaths, thats crazy!!

Landslide win for the Sri Lanka Podujana Party the other day.

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has sworn in his elder brother Mahinda Rajapaksa as prime minister, finance, urban development and Buddhist affairs minister. You might recall Mahinda as the former president who strengthened ties with China and signed that port deal. Interestingly Gotabaya holds dual citizenship with the US.

The eldest brother is also now the irrigation minister and a nephew is the youth and sport minister.

I have been reading up on Sri Lanka and its make a pretty good comparison to the Taiwan island.

The population of the 2 islands are about the same. The land mass of Sri Lanka is twice that of Taiwan. It's only 50 km from the subcontinent, and the Taiwan's distance to mainland is about 4 times longer.

Historically, India was only unified once under Asoka (not including the southern tip and Sri Lanka) before the British. So Sri Lanka was never part of any India dynasty/empire. While Buddhism has been completely killed off or obsorded back to Hinduism in the subcontinent mainland, it still is the majority religion in Sri Lanka. That makes Sri Lanka more similar to the Indochina countries. I feel if Sri Lanka was majority Hindu, India could have easily annex it after the independence.

But the Indians are kind of people who don't pay attention to geopolitic military theories. So right now China is basically taking what the US has done to China with the containment strategy, with the control of the Diaoyu Island and Taiwan, and does the exact same thing to India with Sri Lanka port and the string of pearls.

The CCP and their collaborators are poo poo. Neocons/neolibs and their collaborators are poo poo. Both statements can be true. One doesn't excuse the other.

Except for HKers they really don't have a choice but to work with the only people who have the motive and the means, who else are they gonna turn to? UK? EU? Taiwan?

WE get the same news as everyone, HKers that want trump 2020 know what a poo poo trump is, But they buy the trump act for now compared to what Biden is offering them.
