I don't know about China, but Biden is really throwing stones from glass houses here as the leader of a country which is teetering on the edge of civil war, had a full blown insurrection in the past few years, and not only has it failed to prosecute the leader and instigator, it has allowed him to run for election again and there is a possibility of him being elected.
And this is not mentioning that so many in the highest offices "on both sides" are so hilariously corrupt in a country with its national ethos being "the land of the free".
I'm not happy about this by the way, I don't think a world order built by China would be better than the shitty one we got from the US.
I do to be honest.
Go live there for a few years and tell us more on your way back.
I'm going there in February for a few months, that's a start. Looking forward to it.
Report back. Am genuinely curious!
Will do.
I'll be there, and I travel often across main cities for work, so let me know then if you want to hang out.
Sure, I will be all over the place. Once I know my plans a bit solidly I will let you know.
I’m in Shanghai a few times a year on business and really have to double check that I have multiple VPN options available before leaving. Had a coworker have his phone checked at customs but we always bring dedicated “China-only” cell phones and laptops. They seem to be getting more on top of crushing outside communications but I always get at least one connection working when there. Last time it was an ssh tunnel to an AWS instance that I used to route traffic. Before that it was ExpressVPN which gave me trouble on the last visit. China is playing whack a mile with the VPNs.
Oh my god, just think, you won’t be able to check reddit or read the new york times without your precious VPN! The horror!
It's not like the new york times outputs anything of value anyway
I've got some bad news for you if you think Jews are the problem. The white capitalists wouldn't even spit on you if you were on fire, so doing their work for them by rooting out their competition is just being a useful idiot
Omg I missed his comment before it was removed, what did he say?
It included the phrase "jew york times"
Literally
Yeah, it honestly really surprised me to see
Wow it's almost like the great firewall is trivial to circumvent and countless millions of people do it every day.
