T** definitely did China a huge favour over the last 4 years. He is an insane idiot who breaks alliances and the very institutions that maintain American power. Dividing the citizenry, spewing misinformation, undermining democracy, doing more damage to the fabric of America than any amount of Chinese influence. Strong against China?, get hosed, he let America get surrounded with "America first" instead of being the one doing the surrounding. He might as well be a Chinese agent.

Has Xi rung to congratulate Biden yet?

It is both the decent thing to do, and what accepted international protocol dictates. So my guess would be no.

I hope that he calls and Biden puts him on hold and takes a call from Tsai Ing-wen. Somehow there is a mistake, and Xi can hear the two of them talking, but they can't his his gutteral screaming when Biden gifts Taiwan a dozen THAAD batteries and some attack subs.

P.s. can we get this :china: fixed so it shows the right flag? :wink:

Monster Hunter: World is being pulled from theaters in China for a second round of censorship for this joke where a Chinese-American soldier says "what kind of knees are these? Chinese!"

https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/...01%2Fframe.html

I think it's clearly a stupid pun and not a racist joke but people are getting mad, there are memes being shared on Chinese social media with cops kneeling on George Floyd and the caption "what kind of knees are these?"

e: it's being perceived as being a reference to or at least sharing the same pun as the schoolyard rhyme "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these". I've never heard that growing up but there ya go, more context.

Not to mention Japan will do things like "conduct quality research with the dust" and "let foreign researchers look at it"

Considering china is a vicious police state perpetrating genocide on ethnic minorities right now, those knees sort of are 'chinese'

My wife is thoroughly confused and saddened by the narratives the CCP-owned/controlled media has been pushing these last few years. She thinks (a pet theory) that the CCP actually wants the rest of the world to hate China so that there is more pushback and the populace "circles the wagons". She thinks a defensive people are easier to control, sort of like North Korea. I still think it's just an unwillingness to understand the world they inhabit mixed with a lot of bully complex.
