there are private interbank channels with other large economies, and average people have Bitcoin which superior to SWIFT since its inception

those Cantonese faggots have overplayed their hand, and I hope Emperor Xi kills them all

I guy I used to work with was trying to tell me that Chinese have more property rights than Americans.
They get a 99 year lease

Spandrell had a good post on this

I’m like yeah but the Chinese also moved like 25 million people to build the 3 gorges dam
Not like you can say “no”

no property taxes either

Hongkongers are acting out because they can't accept that they no longer have higher status than mainlanders

their latching on to gay rights etc. is just an attempt to maintain that high status

Bio-Leninist Hong Kong

China is also the biggest polluter in the world

Say what you will about environmental regulations but at least our rivers aren’t orange anymore

green economy in China means you get more dollars than the other companies

Most all of environmentalism is watermelon horseshit

Americans do value clean air and natural parks etc the left just exploits this fact and tries to scare people

But China and India are terrible dirty places

I am wholeheartedly in support of genociding the Chinese and Indian populations for the sanctity of the clean earth

I am not in support of doing some underhanded antifa and homosexual CIA and Soros backed color revolution in their cities

I can get on board with that @blue falafel

this runs it down pretty nicely

the assessment of Hong Kong culture reminds me of my experiences in Singapore

same kind of place: a bug city full of Chinese bugmen who are obsessed with money and status and think they're hot shit

@mattforney some nice news from Poland: ~45% according to exit polls to PiS, Konfederacja made it into Sjem first time, gonna pick up 13 seats

yeah mentioned that earlier

I'm surprised KP and Confederation made it in

they were consistently polling below the threshold

apparently Confederation got some Kukiz'15 voters

lots of salt to mine tomorrow: "Poland is being strangled by the forces of illiberalism"

I’m anti China because I don’t like the yellow bastards

Whatever about the Yankee world order

At least there is still the pretence of rule of law

The chinks would just roll is if they felt like it

rule of law just means rule by jewish lawyers

societies that talk about the importance of rule of law are the most tyrannical and perverse around

globalists define anything outside liberal democracy as not adhering to the "rule of law"

Hungary doesn't adhere to the "rule of law" because they don't tolerate communist judges trying to undermine the elected government

the Philippines doesn't adhere to the "rule of law" because Duterte decided to shoot drug dealers in the head instead of letting them buy their way out of the justice system

I like this line:

“The blind belief in Education is the one thing that the West learned from Confucians and then re-exported as one of the main tenets of Progressivism”

Also the end is entertaining:

It’s funny that Progressivism holds racism as the supreme evil, and yet spares no effort in supporting provincialism and ethnic chauvinism, which are basically the same primal xenophobic instinct, but applied in a narrower and much more irrational way. Races after all do differ in behavior in much larger ways than neighboring ethnic groups. But that’s how Bioleninism works: you’re allowed, even encouraged to hate your family, especially your smarter and more productive relations. What you’re not allowed is to hate complete strangers, especially the nastiest and most hostile ones.

Don’t care all that much about Hong Kong, but China is still a lunger shithole. Fuck em both

Tbh I don’t like them because I’m racist
