It's not a coup, since there was a legitimate transfer of power. A revolution, maybe.

I went and skimmed wiki's list of train accidents since 2010; there's tons of US/EU coal train derailments etc. There arn't very many Chinese ones listed at all. In fact, unbelievably few; it leads me to believe that non-fatality accidents simply arn't reported at all by the Chinese, or at least not in any source tracked by English-speakers.

For some reason people are especially bloody-minded when it comes to injuries inflicted by cars, a lot more likely to sympathize/fantasize about such violence and unlikely to give a poo poo about the victims. I've noticed this in several countries. I'm really not sure what to attribute it to.

*scratch head* this'alls happened very fast.

'Their larynx is not adjusted to civility' is innovative, i'll give him that.

I wonder if all the (previous) continuous insults directed at US politicians were to try and get some return shittalking, helping justify the turn to China.

A military base might be a step too far. It'd probably be political suicide through angering the old guard.

the story about that mayor is such blatant bullshit.

how does 'His guards opened fire first at the police checkpoint, and then the police unfortunately killed all 10 of them without taking any casualties,, and here's the huge crates of shabu he was carrying!' pass anyone's smell test, ever.
