If the Americans can't understand why NATO going to Ukraine is similar to Soviet missiles going to Cuba, they are not going to understand why Taiwan is like China's Texas. Who is going to tell them American Exceptionalism is not real.

https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2024/02/07/chinas-stockmarket-nightmare-is-nowhere-near-over I'm always impressed by The Economist's dedicated "China bad" artist always finding new ways to make a cutesy orientalist image.

Nobody gave a poo poo about the specific naming of CNY until, what, 2022?

Like Chinese dragon is being translated more and more as Loong instead of Dragon. CNY should just be called Spring Festival because that's what it is in Chinese.

In this analogy, the Texas Confederacy has given up slavery (Taiwanese military dictatorship) and is still an enemy of the USA. It might not be good, but that's still good enough for me. Instead of posting Taliban ftw we would be posting Texiban ftw.

Chinese New Year isn't in Spring globally either? What's wrong with just calling it Chinese New Year?

North Korea forces residents to buy photos of recent satellite rocket launch www.rfa.org posted:North Korea is forcing its citizens to buy large decorative photos depicting a recent rocket launch to display in their homes as a sign of patriotism. But the people are pushing back, saying the launches and the photos themselves are a waste of money that could be better spent on feeding the people, residents in the country told Radio Free Asia.

I still don't know how big of a provocative it is, because I looked up that TVBS chinese article, it's called "military advisor" in the article, not calling them US military special force. Also TVBS is neutral or slightly pro blue media so they wouldn't be the one doing the "message delivery" for the DPP or the US. So I still don't know how big of a salami slicing it is yet. And its also kind of strange timing given Sullivan and Wang just had a meeting. We will see in 520 whether PLA will counter salami slicing during Lai's swore in ceremony.

One of those Americans will go crazy on that little hobo island knowing there's booze to consume and sexual assault to do just across the water but forever out of reach. There'll be some kind of cannibalism incident or something.

There's like 100,000 people on Kinmen. It also has at least one distillery producing Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor 58. The high rises in the photo are on the island of Kinmen. I think that rock is part of the PRC.

That little island looks like the worst possible posting. People are going to be shipped there because they pissed off their CO too much.

I think that rock is part of the PRC. No, those high rises are in Xiamen. Kinmen is a backwater village. That rock is Shi Yu Islet, owned by Taiwan as can be seen by the little Taiwan flag painted on a rock. Imagine living on Kinmen and seeing that go up in the past 15 years.

they could just recreate their old party if they're allowed. the question is whether the army will get away with rigging the election or smashing them outright this time. the population didn't rise up for the PTI or imran when he got jailed, so who knows. the people are pissed at the army, but the PTI is just another liberal party without the ability to have sufficiently armed and disciplined cadres or rouse an insurrection the way a communist party would have. the army might bet on stochastic acts of violence and protest against the establishment, which they think they can control.
