Haiti is useless to have on your side

You can use them as dumping grounds

But all the profitable things you send them will eventually be sold to us at a very low price.

:^) enjoy having the worst part of the Island as an ally taiwanbois

interesting how suddenly certain peoples' egoes get inflated when their country switches allegiances to a repressive dictatorship

I hope the Holy See won't abandon Taiwan

we'll see how much control the PRC wants over appointing bishops

and how much of that the pope is willing to give over

I actually wrote a letter to the Holy See, unironically, emphasising that supporting a place with similar values to ours, should be more important than recognising a dictatorship in exchange for influence

Won't make a difference but I felt the need to do it

You can write him, too

Pope Francis PP. / 00120 Via del Pellegrino / Citta del Vaticano

oh, nice

Don't put Italy on the envelope though, that's considered rude

And we Italians, let autonomous people be autonomous

i think you might underestimate it, it's the one percent who are actually active that change things

i think i might write a letter, abysmal handwriting notwithstanding

it is group that does invent things but it is lone wolf that can change things

My grandpa used to say : The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

Anyway I really don't think public opinion gets much taken into account in those matters

It was more the need to express it

But now I wonder, I'll research if there's a public opinion about it in the Italian community

Nigs getting chinked

Colour me surprised

It's not like they were forced to build it

No strings in loans usually means set intrest, I'm not entirely sure what they were expecting

That's kinda the point? The chink convinced the kang for something likely unnecessary.

Chinkshopping on a state level

Dear kang

Railroad will be good

No need to open dispute

chinese steel, best steel

my favorite chink copy pasta

Not pasta dear

Real life

At this point, someday China will just own Africa
