We still havenโt won a game this season Cardiff #cityasone
28 Aug 2024
An incredible effort from the #Bluebirds, but they bow out of the @Carabao_Cup at R2.

Call me old (because I am) Melissa Chan but Iโve never realised Democratic vibrancy = armed police officers assaulting students on campus #PalestineSolidarityProtest
2 May 2024
Scenes on campuses share visual similarities with protests abroad (umbrellas recall Hong Kong). The difference is that protests in autocracies topple governments. In the US, it means political parties change policies. Where autocrats see weakness here, I see democratic vibrancy.

Wasnโt there some silly west wing episode where this exact scenario of American peace keepers being sent to Palestine by President Bartlett came up?

Habibi how do you colonise your own lands?
Incidentally this is why so many Chinese get butthurt when you say Cantonese or Wu are separate languages and not dialects, because modern Chinese nationalism, built to justify Chinese imperialism, claims that everyone who is culturally influenced by China is part of the same....

Your Chinese wife is correct? Heโs half white american / half chinese? Just like how Iโm half Welsh / half Japanese ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
๐๐๐ โ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐ ๐ฃ๐ช ๐ ๐ โ๐๐๐๐ โ๐ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ฅ@thocpodcastMy wife has often said - totally innocently - of our son, "He's half Chinese, half-American."
And I will - sometimes - correct her:
No. There's no such thing as "half-American." That light-bulb has no dimmer-knob.

Well perpetuating made up genocide narratives in regards to Xinjiang and the Uyghurs probably wasnโt going to be seen as something worth supporting
If anything Kaiser Kuo you shouldโve doubled down like VOA and The epoch times did
7 Nov 2023
Thatโs in large part due to our coverage of Xinjiang: featuring regular columns on the repression of Uyghurs (including one by @dtbyler), talking about it on the podcast, and even putting it in the boilerplate Sinica intro for nearly 5 years. 6/x

Well my friend you can take solace in the fact that Japanese school kids both in my generation and now never fully learn 20th century Japanese history either

FFS. Has there ever been a less-deserved retention of the Ashes? From the Bairstow debacle to this rain-soaked fiasco, itโs an absolute farce that smirking Australia have ended up with the urn still in their hands. England comfortably the better side as this Test showed. Gutting.

Thankfully Patrick youโre a white China watcher and not on the CMC

If I were China, I would go after Vietnam first, as a trial run. It has no formal alliances, the objectives are limited and achievable, and success erases the shadow of 1979.

Isnโt Luke de Pulford the chap who scammed 200 thousand quid of people on the internet to โprosecuteโ white #HongKong police officers of British origin?

Hong Kong government now putting these โwantedโ posters up around the city.
Do they know how this ludicrous campaign against completely innocent people makes the HKSAR look to the rest of the world?

The man seated next to me at Headingley recorded every ball in his scorebook..... Every single ball. All day.

Just found out the batsman in this shameful spirit-of-the-game mocking stunt is not only ENGLISH, but a YORKSHIREMAN. What on earth are you doing Elliott Whitehead? Are you a closet Australian?

Thatโs literally not how the Chinese language works
4 Jul 2023
Nope, those characters can't be read by Chinese people nowadays. The characters might be similar, but the pronunciation is completely different. Not the same language at all.
