This is certainly a frivolous question, so I am sorry.

But as a Hong Kong New Zealdander, did you ever go to the Rugby 7s that they have there? Is it as much an excuse for fat English expats to drink as I have heard? Are the matches of any decent quality?

I was lucky enough to watch the Hong Kong T20 tournament finals one time, and got to see the team Luke Ronchi played for lose. So that was nice.

They are a massive excuse for fat expats to get pissed, I have never seen more drunk people in one place, however you will also see some of the best rugby in the world. I was there in 1990 for this match:

(jump to 15:25 for the good bit).
The old government stadium was much nicer than the new one because there was an open running track between the stands and the pitch that made pitch invasions by naked drunk people very easy indeed.

And the sevens can be a bit one sided in the earlier matches but by the time it's mostly just the Pacific islands it rules.

He meant it in the common Chinese slang context, meaning that Xi Jinping is horny.

Volkswagen: No sir, we aren't collaborators to palette swapped NAZI.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-54918309

quote:

"What happened in the Nazi times was something that happened in our factories where we had forced labour, people producing Volkswagen cars," he said.

"This certainly is an unacceptable situation. Therefore, we are making sure that none of our production sites have forced labour, and this is something that we specifically checked in Urumqi and I can assure you, we do not have forced labour."

But when asked whether he could be absolutely certain of that claim and give an assurance that none of the Urumqi workforce - of which around 25% is made up of Uighurs and other minorities - had been in a camp, Dr Wollenstein said he couldn't.

"We try to control our company-related processes, including the HR process, which, for instance, means the hiring of people in the best possible manner," he said.

"And this reduces for us the risk that something happens which we do not like and which is not complying to our standards. But I guess we could never reach 100% certainty."

...

Ms von Cramon-Taubadel says that in recent meetings she's held with senior company executives, they've admitted as much.

"They told me that the condition for any expansion of the company within China is that at least one of the factories should be based in the west," she said.

"And they tried to convince me that if VW decides unilaterally to close [its Xinjiang plant] they could not produce a single car in China any more."

In public, at least, Volkswagen insists its dominance of the Chinese market puts it in a position of strength.

"We've been engaged in this country for 37 years," Dr Wollenstein said. "And as much as we are to a certain extent dependent on China, probably China is also dependent on us.

"We firmly believe in a global perspective and that free trade and doing business according to our ethical standards is helping every country where we're engaged."

Maybe, you know, GTFO. "Engagement" BS getting trotted out again. You don't appease NAZI scum, you tell them to gently caress off.

2020 has shown after the initial shock if people bailed on China the supply chain would be fine. You might not get that phone you don't need or that Walmart TV until later, in the end we don't get anything essential from them. China would literally start starving within weeks as they don't produce enough food by a long shot. Energy sector would collapse. They couldn't build any more from the lack of concrete and iron.

The scariest thing in that article is China insisting that any future expansion involves a factory "in the West".

It is the same strategy used by terrorists and organised crime, but on a national scale rather than personal. Make anyone who works with you complicit in your atrocities and they cannot criticise you without criticising themselves.

They can't admit to themselves that bad things are happening without accepting their own guilt.

Thread feng shui masters, is it true that if you tell someone the time of your birth that they can write your name, birthday, and time of birth onto a piece of paper and throw it in a fire, causing you do drop dead instantly? My wife is upset because I told my family when my kid was born.
