Tankbuster posted:the last time I heard about a kdrama controversy for political reasons was Mr Sunshine because one of the anti-hero characters was supposedly in the Black Dragon society which created powerful backlash that the showrunners had to apologize for. A lot of somewhat older higher budget kdramas would occasionally blow their wad by shooting the first episode in southern chinese cities. I can't imagine what they'd make of Mortal Kombat

quote:One day when I was living in Shanghai, China, I was walking to work. I was walking through an area of old style Shikumen row-houses which were obviously lived in. This was a fairly central area just north of Baoshan Road metro station for those who might be curious. Anyway, I saw this huge police bus pull up on the other side of the road, and like 50 uniformed cops got out. I didn't really stay to watch was going on, and continued to work. I took the metro home after work, but the next morning I walked to work again, through the same area. Where the old shikumens stood yesterday, was now just piles of rubble.

Some Guy TT posted:Late one night in 1958, a man named Liu Bingshu whispered to his wife, the mother of their four young children, “There is no escape. I could be taken away … If I can come back, we will see each other again.” Liu would soon be the victim of a massive policy change by the Communist leader of China, Mao Zedong. Just a year earlier, Mao had famously demanded that “a hundred flowers bloom,” actively inviting criticism and suggestions from the public. But those who spoke up were soon labeled “rightist” enemies; the party estimated that they amounted to 5 percent of the population. Some half a million intellectuals, including Liu, were ordered to undergo “reeducation.” Thousands were dispatched to three labor camps in the northwestern Chinese province of Gansu. The deadliest of them was Jiabiangou, where less than half of the inmates are reported to have survived. Liu’s family never saw him again. Been trying to say this in so many words

Some Guy TT posted:In the last few years, China’s government has promoted increasingly conservative social values, encouraging women to focus on raising children. It has cracked down on civil society movements and made laws to drive out foreign influence. I just read this article to my wife, it's such ridiculous propaganda. "China has been totalitarian and outlawed feminism, but also it's a huge topic of discussion daily for the people in the country" like how can they hold these two thoughts in their heads at the same time? I sometimes think the tides might be changing, but then I read D&D or r/politicaldiscussion (the dumbest people on the planet) and see that the average person in the west has literally no loving idea what they're talking about.

Only UK and South Asian countries seem to have female prime ministers. And some EU countries. Also what's the female CEO stat for UK and Bangladesh?

imagine a world in which OWS and BLM leaders were arrested early on in a failed attempt to stop protests that inevitably led to serious reforms of the financial sector and the police. as opposed to, oh wait the state still arrested and assassinated a bunch of people but didn’t even take credit for it being political action? and nothing changed? I love freedom!

surely we give a poo poo about all that human rights/lgbt/racial equality stuff and it's not just a hosed up "well if we can't squash any country like a bug on a whim then WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT THE RULES BASED INTERNATIONAL ORDER (that exists in a comically slanted fashion solely to enrich our bourgeoisie)"
