Vincent Van Goatse posted:When people talk about sugar in sodas, they mean cane sugar specifically, you pedant. The discussion is on the dietary/chemical notion of sugars, as per Coke's branding. It's ironic that you want to call him a pedant, because you posting this context-blind "gotcha" is quite a bit more pedantic than reminding someone the "F" in "HFCS" stands for fructose. Pay attention to the thread and calm down with the high stakes posting.

They have arrested Joshua for the mask ban last year. https://hongkongfp.com/2020/09/24/b...rised-assembly/ quote:Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong has been arrested on suspicion of taking part in an unauthorised assembly on October 5 last year and violating a mask ban, according to a post from his official Twitter account. It occurred while he was reporting to the Central Police Station at around 1 pm on Thursday. Like come the gently caress on.

It's a smart decision - terror works! The human yearning for freedom is hardly a given and easily crushed

Speaking of crushing human freedom, it turns out there are 100 more Uighur detention camps in Xinjiang than originally thought.

Let me guess, a white guy visits Xinjiang and sees all of the apparatus for oppressing an ethnic minority, but thinks everything is fine because he's not the one being tossed into a concentration camp. Neville Chamberlain also didn't see anything wrong when he visited Munich in 1938.

If I'm not mistaken that's the same Aussie-in-China who went on a bike tour of Xinjiang and claimed to not see any camps along the way, despite the fact that he would have ridden directly past at least half a dozen or more of them. On a related note, I've sometimes wondered why the most craven and/or willfully blind useful idiots for Beijing, at least in the English-speaking world, always seem to be either British or Australian.

I read the article, and the bloke writing it describes a fascist police state where one can't enter a shopping mall without having ID checked by facial recognition software, and kindergartens surrounded by barbed wire. Yet presents that as a GOOD thing, and that the Western media are being meanies. And lying about the oppression in Xinjiang. I fully will never understand the mindset of someone who sees security guards IDing everyone in a public place and rolls of barbed wire on a school for children and thinks that both are good things. edit: When you click the thing to read the article, it shows that it is a paid facebook ad.

I shouldn't be surprised but yet again here we are. The amount of pettiness of the entire government is only edged out by Trump. In cool news, only 2% in Taiwan identify as only Chinese. https://hongkongfp.com/2020/09/25/taiwan-poll-on-national-identity-finds-only-2-identify-solely-as-chinese/ quote:The survey conducted by a group called Taiwan Thinktank asked respondents whether they consider themselves to be Taiwanese or Chinese. Some 62.6 per cent identified themselves as Taiwanese while only 2 per cent identified as Chinese and 32.6 per cent considered themselves to be both. How long until "Chinese" is widely used as a slur.

Chinese sci fi has been feted in both genre circles and in academia as one of the next big things in China studies for the last decade or so, but most of the Chinese sci fi I read is just dreck, especially the Three Body Problem. Having said that, Chen Qiufan is good. His story 丽江的鱼儿们 (The Fish of Lijiang, translated by Ken Liu) is masterful and benefits from being very short.
