at first I thought it was just one of those things that a lot of arcade games had which changed team names based on region to make it more culturally relevant to the place its played but I checked in MAME and neither game does that, lol

e: wikipedia on the current holder of SNK's IP (HK company called Leyou)

quote:

In 2019, Leyou were reportedly seeking a buyer. iDreamSky (which its 18.6% stake is owned by Tencent) and CVC Capital Partners offered to acquire Leyou, but the talks were stalled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. [24] iDreamSky were met with a competing offer from Zhejiang Century Huatong, who entered into a non-binding merger agreement with Leyou in May 2020. [25] In July, Bloomberg News reported that both Sony and Tencent were also interested in bidding for Leyou. [26][27] On the 24th of August it was reported that Tencent was close to signing a deal to acquire Leyou Technologies and take the company private. [28]

and there's your answer


I misread, SNK's IP is actually owned by chinese company 37 games. they were avoiding hurting their own feelings

quote:

Starting from 1 September 2020, hundreds of schools across eastern Southern Mongolia, particularly in the Tongliao and Ulaanhad municipalities, will be forced to use Chinese as the language of instruction. Sources confirm that the so-called “bilingual” education enhancement program is being carried out in secret by Bejing, without any official explanation. “The fate of Mongolian language education seems to be sealed. We argued to defend our rights to mother tongue that are guaranteed by the Chinese Constitutions and the Ethnic Minority Autonomy Law,” a Mongolian teacher who remained unidentified said in an audio statement. “This not only is unconstitutional but also is a flagrant violation of the basic human rights of the Mongolian people from a universal human rights perspective.”

I guess they have the next minority target lined up.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I thought Mongolia was a separate, independent country. As in recognized by the UN separate country. How can China interfere in the internal affairs of another country?

Or am I just being a pedantic poo poo, and by "southern Mongolia" they mean the region, and so it could also be phrased as north-central China.

I think a lot of people who don't know anything about China don't realize that in the Chinese context, with its billion and a half people and its many centuries of interaction with its neighbors, the Han occupy the same role as white people do in Europe and North America.

China has 56 ethnics minorities because the Han Chinese are imperialist settler colonists the same way white europeans are. It has concentration camps for minorities and deeply engrained prejudicial repression because there are Han Chinese racial/ethnic supremacists the same way there are white supremacists.

Tibet is part of China the same way that the Congo is part of Belgium or India is part of the UK.

Just watched a ton of Bruce Lee movies and it’s interesting how even when his stuff dealt with racism, he never went full CCP stooge like Jackie Chan. Even after acclimating to America he still loved Hong Kong.

It has begun. Visa for a HKFP editor has been declined.

https://hongkongfp.com/2020/08/27/v...r-6-month-wait/

quote:

Editor-in-chief Tom Grundy said that many other news outlets remain in limbo amid unprecedented visa delays, and a pattern had now emerged: “We are a local news outlet and our prospective editor was a journalist originally from Ireland, so this is not another tit-for-tat measure under the US-China trade dispute. It appears we have been targeted under the climate of the new security law and because of our impartial, fact-based coverage.”

He said that neither the applicant, nor HKFP, had been denied a visa before: “Other sectors can expect to be subjected to a similar bureaucratic rigmarole in light of the security law. Companies are already leaving or avoiding the city for this very reason,” Grundy said. “Businesses can be assured that visa issues are now a feature, not a bug. They may decide that Hong Kong is no longer a suitable place to set up a regional headquarters or base.”

This is a bit sad. He mixed up exude with extol. He then replies to certain negative comments in OK-ish Chinese, just to show that he can. He claims to want to buy the third volume of Xi's magnum opus in "普通话".

Thing is though he is actively trying to get back to China and live the China dream, which I think is the only valid course of action for the vehemently pro CCP type people. I hope he gets what he is looking for (he'll probably just be exploited in a school somewhere).

There's already a Japan thread, I think we handle the North Korea stuff whenever something interesting happens. Or they start squealing, because if there's one public stream of announcements that makes China's look humble by comparison...

Anyway, from the sounds of it Abe's got cancer. Big ol' tumour.

He has ulcerative colitis. Based on my experiences, it's running to the bathroom and blood blood blood 24/7.

There's also an increased rate of bowel cancer, but we don't know if that applies to Abe yet.

oh hey me and abe have something in common. if he is resigning it must be pretty bad its a minor pain in my stomach for me but i gotta get a colonoscopy every year to make sure its not getting cancerous.

Ive heard it can be really bad pain though if your colon ulcers get big.

also can i get a link to the jp thread.
