Quasi-related to aunties, that reminds me - I'm guessing goons have more sense to, but did anyone ever visit any major tourist attractions/landmarks during May Day? I thankfully never did but seeing photos like this, I cannot even imagine how aggravating that must've been.


It's a famous place, therefore you are enjoying it (gaining face by taking the same picture everyone else takes). If there are no people around it cannot be a famous place, which means you're not enjoying it.

On this: when I was in China I studiously avoided any sort of political, or even political adjacent chat. So can I ask goons with Mainland Chinese relatives, or who were
there longer than me, what do Mainlanders think of the CCP's international tantrums? Do they buy them? Are they embarrassed by them?

Surely you must have noticed that throwing a temper tantrum is the default response to anything unexpected

Remember those lovely tests that the Spanish bought from China? Turns out they had gotten them from a no-name drop-shipper rather than a respectable manufacturer. Even in this time of crises, you get what you paid for at alibaba.

I have it on good authority (tankies in C-SPAM) that the tests were being used incorrectly and calling them defective is actually racist

And it's not like the policy stopped people from having more than one kid, especially in the countryside. You just paid a fine of one pig to the local government or whatever in exchange for a proper hukou or if you were poor enough your kids didn't have a chance anyway, hukou or not.
