"...a masterpiece that no one can read too often, or admire too much."

I got stuck in my building's elevator once for 20 minutes or so and because of this video my first thought was "god i hope no one peed on the buttons".

can't believe shrek is fucking dead. rip to a real one.

The CCP Politburo meets in an emergency session at Zhongnanhai

Li Keqiang: President Xi, the assets are ready.

Xi: Good. We know we can't take America in a straight up war, but we can take them from the inside. Soon they will be but an arm of China!

Li Zhanshu bursts in: SIR! WE HAVE A SITUATION!

Xi: what is it?

Zhanshu: it's... It's the Americans! They have Enes Kanter Freedom! He's a citizen of their country now!

Xi pounds on the desk furiously: FOOLS! All our plans... Ruined. All Erdogan needed to do was arrest him and we had America by the throat! And now? We have nothing. NOTHING!!!

I'm imagining someone going into a meeting of the CCP top leadership and informing them that the US just surrendered to them and it is now a part of China for them to try and organize and pacify and maintain control.

Just a whole straight day of screaming, arguing, yelling and crying.

No, it's only colonialism when done by the US, which is what makes it bad.

China is not the US, therefore it cannot be doing a colonialism, therefore China good.

It has mint menthol in it, which basically means it's like cough drops. Ironically, this makes it more efficacious than 99% of Chinese medicine.

China has never done a colonialism because China does not lend to other countries with absurd loan terms and when the countries can't pay they force the debtor countries to sell parts of their country to China wait poo poo I've lost the plot

I mean, the conditions that China is offering are typically better not only than what was historically offered by colonial powers, but also better than what is offered by those powers and their descendants currently.

But, in the end, it's still the business of resource extraction in order to develop a distant country, and comes with the imposition of foreign practices, laws, and hierarchies of officials and managers, so... yeah.
