I came to a similar shocked realization a few years ago when I read that Indigenous tribes in canada aren't even treated as states that run their own affairs, have their own flag, etc. I kinda took that for granted as the norm regarding american indian rights.

the other thing about the american system is, tribes frequently have to forfeit a number of claims to become federally recognized. if you're a native group that isn't recognized then you have the same legal protections and recourse as any other citizen (i.e. none at all)

Its a weird thing we're pretty sure only the hunan branch of the family does. Ive never seen or heard of anyone else doing it, because, why? To be fair to the Hunan, the family is spread across the border so its more my family are backwoods people some rear end in a top hat drew a line through on the map.

Just loose green tea leaves plus some sichuan peppers and it tastes like Green Tea that didn't pass its college exams and took up smoking and hard living.

drat, I'm actually kinda disappointed it's just greentea + peppercorn, I was expecting something odd like a ginger/peppercorns/whatever type of spicy drink. gently caress it now I'm gonna try to make it

Sun Yang is back in the news again: he is banned from the Olympics next month.


espn posted:

Sun's original eight-year ban imposed last year for this offense was overturned on appeal to Switzerland's supreme court, which ordered a fresh prosecution.

Federal judges ruled the first guilty verdict unsafe because the chairman of the three-judge panel at CAS showed anti-Chinese bias in social media comments.

The retrial was heard by three new judges by video link over three days last month and fast-tracked ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, which open on July 23.

The case was about a failed attempt to take blood and urine from Sun by a sample collection team that made an unannounced visit to his home in China in September 2018.

It turned confrontational and led to Sun's entourage ordering a security guard to smash the casing of a blood vial with a hammer.

There are 4 or 5 posters in QCS right now digging up the post history of this threads regulars trying to find something that they can convince the mods was racist sinophobia that only wasn't acted on because the mods have been compromised by racist sinophobes

I suspect that Aegis Bear only acted on that post because it was one of the ones held up down there (in the hopes of convincing people who don't read this thread that its filled with people who literally think that japanese porn makes up for the rape of nanking) and hence probably was subjected to a flood of reports

If this sounds like what happened with FYAD a while back that's because it's the exact same tactic.

its important to stick up for the little guys, like xi jinping, president of the people's republic of china, ruler of the world's 2nd largest economy, head of the world's largest army, master of the world's largest political party, and controller of a thermonuclear arsenal

Mention of Stalin actually got me genuinely curious about a topic. Basically, how is Russia and the Soviet Union viewed in China today? Also how are they portrayed in like history education and pop culture when and if it comes up. A very broad question, and one I imagine where the answer ahs changed alot over the years, though I imagine the fact that the two of them had a mini cold war goign in Asia from the 60s until the Soviet Union fell apart must count for something in that relationship.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has described Russia's Vladimir Putin as his "best friend" during a three-day visit to Moscow focusing on trade and relations between the two countries.

From superficial, uninformed appearances, the governments are uncomfortable for all of the obvious, previous-conflict, land-border reasons, but right now they're more or less sticking together due to shared external pressure.

Old people here have generally positive opinions of Russia - a lot of old technical dudes (this being China, there are a *lot* of old technical dudes) either learned Russian and got trained there, or got that info second-hand from the people who did. Obviously this opinion may well change with proximity to the border.

Middle-aged people typically think of Russia in terms of trade if their jobs involve that, or strippers if not.

Young people mostly don't care, aside from buying in to those Russia/Putin Stronk Like Bear memes, and occasional minor Russian celebrities in China.

The most common way for Russia to come up in mainstream/popular Chinese media is as the equivalent of an approving nod for loving with America.

Re: worker quarantine, that stuff did cause a ripple, but people were mostly preoccupied with Other Stuff, and if memory serves then China did some minor tit-for-tat travel restrictions. It didn't last long in the media, anyway.

---------------------------->
Russia and China's geopolitical interests generally don't actually converge a whole lot aside from both of them wanting to gently caress with the West and especially the USA, a shared interest that has been strong enough since 2014 to paper over other points of friction between the two (specifically, Russian insecurity about the power imbalance in the Russian far east and Russia's belief that central Asia is its rightful sphere of influence, along with China's clearly more antagonistic stance towards its neighbours, someting that Russia has noticed even if that antagonism is not currently directed at Russia)

There's been some buzz in international relations circles recently from Biden's decision to meet with Putin personally, due to the possibility that it may be aimed at bringing Russia in from the cold somewhat in order to further isolate China (a possibility that Putin is likely eager to leverage in the hopes of easing Western pressure on Russian interests in Ukraine and Belarus)

Disco all night long!

I've been to a couple different universities that hang up pictures of Stalin in some of the classrooms, along with Mao, Marx, Aristotle and some other famous historic Chinese people.

I'm not sure who makes them, but they're all the same regardless of the university so I think there's one specific company they're ordering them from. Never saw a picture of Aristotle on his own, always the type that come with a quote, but the others were all just like "here's Stalin looking down on you in math class just hanging out"


Edit: This painting I think, or at least one very similar

Sichuan peppercorn is a very common thing to add into in cocktails in nicer bars these days over here. I personally like it but it seems to be a love it or hate it thing. I actually had a really nice whisky based drink with ginger and sichuan peppercorns and some other crap a couple weeks ago.

I also tried sichuan peppercorn flavored gelato recently which fukkin sucked lmao. It just tasted bad and not really like sichuan peppercorns at all idk what the gently caress was going on.

I like when you go to Hunan every house has a few portraits of Mao hanging around. Reminds me of when I was growing up and going to older extremely catholic relatives' houses that had a jesus/mary/cross/etc in every room.
