Yeah Chinese Pizzahut and a couple other chains are completely localized and Pizzahut is effectively the Olive Garden/TGIF of China.

One of the central points of contention in the debate about labour and human rights in the historical region of Tibet before and after its incorporation into the modern state of the People's Republic of China is the very definition of Tibet and serfdom itself, with some scholars claiming that the debate is framed around Eurocentric, Sinocentric and anachronistic ideas about statehood and society which are projected onto the history of the area in a way that distorts understanding.

Standing in marked contrast to the intolerant savagery of other religions, Buddhism is neither fanatical nor dogmatic--so say its adherents. For many of them Buddhism is less a theology and more a meditative and investigative discipline intended to promote an inner harmony and enlightenment while directing us to a path of right living. Generally, the spiritual focus is not only on oneself but on the welfare of others. One tries to put aside egoistic pursuits and gain a deeper understanding of one’s connection to all people and things. “Socially engaged Buddhism” tries to blend individual liberation with responsible social action in order to build an enlightened society. in old Tibet the people lived in contented and tranquil symbiosis with their monastic and secular lords. Rich lamas and poor monks, wealthy landlords and impoverished serfs were all bonded together, mutually sustained by the comforting balm of a deeply spiritual and pacific culture. It might be said that we denizens of the modern secular world cannot grasp the equations of happiness and pain, contentment and custom, that characterize more traditionally spiritual societies.

I know nobody really gives a poo poo but there are muslims and other religions in Tibet and the people there weren't brainwashed, it has all the normal internal politics of anywhere else in the world. there was a communist party there in the early 20th century and it's leader sorta sold out to Chinese communists when they won the civil war but then working in Beijing rallied for tibetan issues a little too hard and went to jail for 20 years. I'm sure there were plenty of social movements to remove the autocratic theocracy, nationalist, republican, whatever. even the current dalai lama got along well with Mao in the 50s and has said he was like a father figure and found himself reading marx etc. He served the maximum two terms, 10 years, as vice chairman of the national people's congress. but obv the situation changed and the dalai lama left china and became a CIA operative edit: several years he was 'vice chairman' he was in voluntary exile but Mao kept the position in his name in hopes he would return anti-dalai lama article posted:After a rebellion took place in Tibet on March 10 in 1959, Mao Zedong once spoke of the Dalai Lama's fleeing abroad at the 16th supreme state conference.

So DEM passed the stimulus package without any help from GOP, I guess they want to pass a bill on literally the only topic the 2 parties can agree on, China. On the subject of that first island chain mid range defense system, that's actually something the Japanese want. That's why the article only came out of Nikkei and nothing else. However the Koreans already said they don't want it; the Taiwanese will no way let US install an offensive weapon on the island, plus there is no US Army station on Taiwan island to control it. Taiwan will only be on the sensor duty, which they are already doing. So this news is Japanese work out an angle to move the US weapon installations around, possible further away from the Okinawa city center. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 11:58 on Mar 11, 2021 |

Bro Dad posted:nongfu spring is one of the largest drink manufacturers on earth dude Yeah, that's true and everything. But at the same time something feels kinda lovely about 'the tap is poison so get your drinking water from some guy with some company who bottles it and sells it to you.' and that making the guy a billionaire when that money could, I dunno go to the government and be used to maybe make pipes that weren't leaking heavy metals into the water. Would they be the largest drink manufacturer on Earth if anyone actually trusted the tap in China?

I am not trying to rush in to defend any billionaire, but at least drinking water scam is healthier than sugared water scam. Legal drinking age for soda should be 21 just like alcohol.
