Yeah, I mean purely on the merits it's poo poo. As a European I don't want to encourage our Oligarchs to move even more industrial capacity to China and China shouldn't give up any control over it's industries to the European upper classes. However, if the sense of momentum created by the rush to make a buck and European politicians patting themselves on the back keeps us out of the next rounds of bullshit it might be worth it.

This is two days old, but the thing to keep in mind about China allowing non-joint venture wholly owned European financial services firms is that they already have very strong outbound capital controls, so there isn't much of risk with them. It's not a costly concession from the Chinese side at all.

i like how for all of hollywoods attempted pandering toward the chinese market they are actually significantly falling behind in how well theyre actually doing there

why its almost as if that talking point has nothing to do with the actual chinese market and is just a thinly veiled racist excuse for unpopular studio decisions

Does the Hollywood investment type realize the top 2 movies in China last year were Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the Korea war and Chinese soldiers fighting Japanese in WW2?

so the next big Hollywood blockbuster is a Steven Spielberg period piece where John Krasinski is sent off to Burma to train with the Flying Tigers under the stern leadership of Claire Chennault, played by Harvey Keitel.

Maggie Q is the love interest, and John Cho is the wisecracking sidekick

If you read her own translation at her blog, you'll see she has basically no evidence that this group is connected to the CCP.

quote:

The contact person in this report is Yale Xiao, Broker and CEO, The Ping Mortgage Company. He is also on the management team of Atlanta Chinese Alliance of Real Estate (CARE) , which has close ties with the CCP. This report shows that Ms. Liu Hongmei, Deputy Consul General of the Chinese Consulate General in Houston, “warmly praised the efforts and contributions made by the Atlanta Chinese Chamber of Commerce( of which Atlanta Chinese Alliance of Real Estate (CARE) is a member) , and also wished everyone a happy and healthy Chinese New Year on behalf of the Chinese government.”).

Yes, that really is it. A Chinese government official once praised the Atlanta Chinese Chamber of Commerce and therefore this individual, Yale Xiao, is a CCP plant.

Other than that, it's clear Raffensperger lobbied multiple Chinese American groups, and one get together was hosted by Yale Xiao. During this get together the Chinese Americans present were impressed with Raffenspergers speech and promised to organize 100 votes for him.

Now this may seem like normal campaigning to the untrained eye but remember that this get together was hosted by an individual who sits on the board of an organization which is under the umbrella of a larger organization that was once praised by a Chinese government diplomat. Bing bong boop, the CCP promised Brad Raffensperger 100 votes. Case closed.

Zeng was the one who was spreading around that story that hundreds of thousands of people had died of COVID in Wuhan because there were a bunch of cremation jar deliveries in April.
