An online Shenyun, if you will. This is what he's upset about.

This is a bit of an old news (May 2020) but a friend sent it to me today, apparently China has a feminization of male youth problem. Really reminds me of Candace Owens' "Bring back manly man" rhetoric. lol http://special.chinadevelopment.com.cn/2020zt/2020qglh/dbwyzf/2020/05/1647314.shtml?from=timeline Last year around the same time (April 2020), Taiwan health officials wore pink masks at a press conference to stand against bullying in schools. Their message was "No color is exclusive to girls or boys." https://hongkongfp.com/2020/04/14/taiwan-health-officials-don-pink-masks-in-response-to-bullying-fears-among-students/ It's almost like these are two separate societies and going two completely opposite directions, one marching forward and one just turns around and sprints back to the beginning line (and more).

It's nice having Taiwan as an example to point at and refute dumbass Chinese essentialism arguments.

Also Taiwan had its own brutal hosed up dictatorship for decades then they... stopped. You can actually just not do that anymore and it's fine.

Fortunately they took a different path after that. My students in China were actually watching a movie on the Gwangju massacre once and once I realized what it was I was like uh... you're allowed to watch this? And the one I asked just said yeah it's fine since it's about Koreans being bad and not Tiananmen Square.

So these guys live in a mansion and both guard the lady while also preventing her escape? That must be a really weird job.

i'm not even sure they get to live in the mansion, it sounds like they're a team of guards who accompany her at all times when she leaves the mansion

Pretty sure they sit in their cars all day and night and regularly patrol the grounds when she is home. They only interact with her when she wants to go somewhere. I'm sure the two Michaels have a similar setup.

Her Wikipedia page is pretty intense. Also parts of it read like it was by a pr firm. I get that her arrest was be a big deal but seriously not sure any other business person has such a sprawl of text.

Sounds like the WHO team in Wuhan is making solid progress in getting to the bottom of the origins of COVID-19 and definitely not just being given the runaround by the Chinese government. https://twitter.com/antd/status/1355388562879832064?s=20

One day. Could not put up the charade for one day. I expected it to last a bit longer than that. Still . WHO: "I am on a vital mission for all humanity to not only fight our current pandemic but prevent increasingly likely future illness. Untold millions of lives will be saved. The prestige's worth is more than any amount of money. Please help me" Tourist scammer: "You buy now or no bus".

The tour guide part was a bit of poking fun from the guy retweeting it (though dead-on for anyone who's ever been in a mainland tour group)...but I still expected the WHO to make it more than a single day before obediently trotting around to CCP propaganda museums, when they're ostensibly there to uncover the origins of the deadliest pandemic in a century. https://twitter.com/chesh/status/1355413972955103233?s=20

Posted about this in bosthread and they directed me here: my close friend is from Tianjin, she can't go home for the new year due to her visa situation and COVID. She misses baiju and I am hoping to pick some up to help her feel better / more drunk. Does anyone know what brand a northerner like her would prefer? Also if there is somewhere to get this stuff in massachusetts?

Ming River is the only widely sold one in the US that I'm aware of. It's supposedly pretty decent for baijiu, but I'm not going to investigate personally.

If it’s northern Chinese it is probably the most foul kind so anything would do.

They show up, start asking questions, and inexplicably a The team shows up at the dumpster to look for any evidence that might have survived and just as they are setting up a man with a Pangolin starts walking down the alley. He sees the team, drops the Pangolin, and runs. They take Li Wen back to the local WHO lab and confirm his identity. By luck, there were two separate business CCTV cameras that caught the Pangolin suckfest and still had the footage from a year ago. DNA sequencing proves that Wen was patient zero and receipts in his wallet showed that he travelled extensively the week after contracting the flu. The icing on the cake is Wen giving a full confession and leading the team to where he buried the Pangolin body. The team takes this info to the local government and are promptly taken to a museum that explains that the virus was a result of inter-species breeding experiments at Ft. Bragg in the US. The purpose was to create the perfect politician (photo of Obama) but it also released the "US Flu" which made it to China on some frozen Toaster Strudels being shipped to Wuhan. The team are then driven directly to the airport and deported.
