get that OUT of my face posted:

also how are chinese people not in that sphere? they've been called "jews of the orient" before
I’ve mainly heard that term used in relation to Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia and to some extent their groups of origin on the mainland (Hakka, Hokkien, Cantonese, Teochew), not so much as a blanket term for all Chinese

Also philo-semitism bleeds into antisemitism very easily, for example in this famous onion article: https://www.theonion.com/affable-anti-semite-thinks-the-jews-are-doing-super-job-1819566603

Much like how fetishizing Asians doesn’t mean you’re not racist towards them...

Ex-Trump advisor Steve Bannon: Huawei is a ‘dirty bomb inside industrial democracies’

Between this and a new HBO "documentary" that's trying to spin the Xinjiang issue as the new "white helmets / Aleppo" type of "something MUST be done" heartstring-tugging, it really feels like some arm of the propaganda apparatus is going all-in on China.

To what end, it's not like we're going to war with a nuclear power or really anyone with a competent military.

Almost certainly raised in or spent a significant amount of time in the US.

As already noted, anti-Semitism is generally nonexistent in China itself. Jewish people are (for better or worse) perceived as smart and wealthy, and thus respected. Repeated transfers by Israel to China of US military technology help with relations too.
the goon who pointed out that philo-Semitism can turn in an instant is right, though. "how to be more like Jews" is its own little cottage industry there, and when people realize that's bunk, then it may not go well. i don't have the link but i read a good article on medium about it

It makes sense that he'd do that since his end goal is booting China out of Tibet and having the diaspora return. People give him too much credit as like, a weird pacifist IMO when he really isn't

I mean Tibet becoming more (non-Buddhist) multiculturally and secularly inclined is a direct threat to the authority of the Dalai Lama so it's not a surprise, but you think he'd do a better job playing to the Western liberal sympathies that have made him a household name.

I mean Tibet has always been a religious kingdom more than anything else; they've basically been a semi-autonomous vassal state for their entire existence, sometimes more than others, but generally no one gave a poo poo about them unless they had a point to prove or Tibet decided to rebel (Tibet rebelled constantly). The Yuan ruled them for a while, then they rebelled and were independent for a while, then the Qing took them over, then they were invaded by the British for some goddamned reason, and after that the Qing invaded them again. After Xinhai they were independent for a while before Mao invaded. Then you have the negotiations post-civil war, with China rolling in after Tibet rebelled again (I told you they do this constantly), and then the Great Leap Forward / Cultural Revolution happened and a bunch of poo poo in Tibet got blown up. Eventually things calmed down and China made another motion towards peace but Tibet rebelled (how many times do I have to tell you this) and that leads us to today.

That is my extremely loose summary on Tibet's history thanks for reading

But yeah with how weird their history has been him wanting to re-establish an independent kingdom is basically tradition. :v:

Just got back from two week Beijing trip.

Observations:
1. The 地铁 kicks rear end
2. In spite of being absolutely party controlled propaganda, their TV news was so much more informative and relevant that I physically gagged when I saw CNN in a US airport
3. In spite of how low wages are, they still automated employees away at McDonald's.

First tier cities just say their name when shown in a movie.

"London"

Second tier cities they have to remind you what country they're in

"Madrid, Spain"

Third tiers are just like
"Somewhere in southern Iowa"

cities have different level of administration: province-level municipalities, prefectural-level cities, county-level and so on. this isn't a complete one-to-one with what cities are first, second, third tiers but it's a decent guide
