  1. My friend had the same thing. Their cat, made a fuss, when he had a stroke. Saved his life. After two years of therapy, he is driving, and talking fairly well.
    1000
  2. Praise to the Indian government. For respecting the autonomy, of these people. They have good reason, to fear the outside world.
    620
  3. China's dear leader, wearing the great murderers suit, is chilling.
    590
  4. Unfortunately, talk doesn’t work with a bully.
    545
  5. I’ve been to China, I’ve been to Hong Kong. I’m married to a Chinese born woman, and her son. We are visiting Taiwan right now. This place, should be a world heritage site. It is the hope for the world. I always thought Chinese culture to be crude, before coming here. The people here are polite, and charming. The temples, and spirituality, are sincere. If China was like Taiwan. We could have a really good chance, at peace and harmony.
    417
  6. We need you Eastern European folks, to speak up. You have seen how this shit can turn out. The rest of us in the west, have had it good, for too long. We are asleep. Busy being politically divided. While a huge threat, is hanging over us.
    377
  7. I’m Canadian, I love the Winter Olympics. Not this year. Go, team world!!
    305
  8. The Peruvian fishermen, face the law. While the Chinese, continue fishing?? Something has to be done, on a world wide scale, before its too late.
    288
  9. As an old married guy. It’s surreal to listen to this. After 35 years of marriage, I can’t remember how many I’ve had. Is it one, or was it maybe two.
    246
  10. Does that mean, with cream?
    239
  11. Thank you so much, for covering this. The Tibetan’s deserve, their own autonomy, and destiny.
    202
  12. Taiwan could use, lots of those iron shields. Send some over.
    193
  13.  @therealspeedwagon1451  Only one, birthday?
    189
  14. A couple of years ago. We did a road trip through the states. It was shocking. The grocery stores are huge. With isles and isles of processed foods, and a tiny little produce section.
    174
  15. This is when we need, George Carlin.
    171
  16. It’s so discouraging. I’m married to a Chinese lady. She is relentless, with her distaste, for people of colour. It’s completely ignorant, and ingrained. Yet she is proud to be with a white guy. I’m feeling like you, just about done with it.
    162
  17. If we don’t start working together now. We will be going to a CCP sponsored summer camp, one day.
    155
  18.  @dulcebelluminexpertis4147 What??? Human rights abuse is terrible. The same mentality that can abuse animals, is also horrible. They both illustrate, the same disregard for others. Powerless people, inflicting their pain on others.
    153
  19. The Mekong originates in Tibet, not China. Tibet is an occupied territory. Tibetans believe, that rivers have spirits, they should run free.
    143
  20. China could try, being peaceful? But that would require, a whole new political system.
    141
  21. This rhymes with. Why is healthcare twice as expensive, and not blanket coverage? Prisons, military, etc.
    139
  22. Taiwan, is a high trust society. It’s awesome. As the whole world goes into a deeper recession. This problem, of illegal border crossings, is only going to get worse.
    130
  23. Another example, of traditional Chinese culture. In Taiwan, there is a higher level, of trust, and communal concern. It's not all about, me, me, me. Advantage over others.
    126
  24. Why wouldn’t they? Have you heard of fentanyl, and TikTok?
    124
  25. It’s not just disrespectful to the USA vets, but also to all the allied vets, and the citizens who lost their homes and lives to the Axis powers.
    122
  26. I highly suspect. That they tried their best, to remove the tire. In the time allotted, by the tranquilizer.
    119
  27. In light of this, terrible story. Right now, Tibetan’s and Uighur’s are persecuted.
    116
  28. Another related aspect. We recently visited Taiwan. The people are grounded and polite. They seem to have a connection with their past, and a cultural depth. The Mao era, didn’t tear apart their culture. Leaving them in a state of shock, for dictatorship, to demean them. After, my wife went to her home town of Beijing, for a month. She was appalled, at her old friends. They had no souls. The conversation was always around, food, possessions, and money. She did exclaim, that the Taiwanese were much nicer, than the Chinese. A high trust society. Taiwan is the hope, for China’s future. As an example.
    104
  29. As long as we rely on Chinese products, they have leverage on us.
    102
  30. My Chinese wife and I. We’re just visiting Montreal, and Quebec City. She marvelled at all the beautiful old stone buildings-churches, the arts, and culture. It made me mad, to think of how the communists, have gutted Chinese culture. While still doing it, in their occupied territories today.
    99
  31. Are you saying, the security personnel, are all gay?
    91
  32. Respect for fisheries? Get someone on to talk about the Chinese fishing fleet. Biggest fishing fleet in the world, even though, their own coast is polluted, and fished out. Try Serpentza.
    88
  33. Self censure, bravo WSJ. Helping Taiwan, is helping ourselves. They are, the first line defence, and an ally.
    80
  34. So if they are cutting off Venezuelan heavy. They are then, more reliant on Canadian heavy. While threatening Canadian sovereignty? Can these guys, complete more than one thought at a time?
    79
  35. The CCP, 75 years of humiliation.
    75
  36. Welcome to Vancouver. We skipped the 08 property downturn, with all that questionable money flow.
    75
  37. Wow, the therapy bit hit home. My ex wife saw three different therapists for years. We both ended up miserable. She is so scared, to let anyone get close. I felt her pain, and didn’t know how to reach her. After 28 years, she divorced me. Now she has a drinking and gambling problem. I’m much happier now, in my life. But can’t shake the feeling of letting her down. We had so much potential. The whole self accountability, and leaving the emotional garbage behind, is crucial.
    74
  38. Xi, is Mao, 2.0
    70
  39. To call him out at the party, would have been best. Sorry you lost your family connection, over an inappropriate member.
    70
  40.  @benschlotte8242  For starters, brought a message of hope, to heal the country, bring people together. Rather than constant victimhood, and division.
    68
  41. I hope you find peace, within yourself. It sounds like you did your best, in a bad situation.
    66
  42.  @ayi3455  He might not, have the choice.
    63
  43. Thank you, so much. For including, that he is also a hunter. Most hunters, are the biggest advocates, for habitat and wildlife restoration.
    63
  44. We are doing just that. We buy mountains, of junk quality products. They come here and buy real estate. I’m a maintenance man in Vancouver. 13 of the 14 apartment buildings I work in, are Chinese owned. The tenants, are everybody else. Check your pension fund.
    63
  45. Expectations are huge. My kids, have almost no living expenses. Yet they can’t save any money. Getting order in food, Starbucks, lots of daily things, that are luxuries. My wife and I have been to 20-30 countries. Yet she complains, that we don’t travel. I am most grateful, to have a warm dry bed to sleep in, and food in my belly. The expectation of privilege, ruins a society.
    62
  46. Thank you, for posting this. Every time we buy Chinese products. We are supporting this, and many other terrible actions.
    60
  47. It’s not just in China. I drove past a charity, giving help to people. The grab hag vultures, were lined around the block. With their wire cage carts. Most of them are there because something is free. Depriving the truly needy. It also, makes me not want to donate, to places like this. If it’s just being grabbed, by the greedy.
    60
  48. I’m sitting here all warm. Thinking of all the frozen feet and hands, these guys must have had. I bet, many died that way.
    59
  49. If you look at the CCP, as if it were a narcissist. Their words and actions make sense.
    56
  50. Have you been to Burundi? We have been invited to a wedding there. Which sound amazing. But looking up the stats on Wikipedia, was shocking. $294/yr average income, least happy African country, deforested, corruption, etc. I’m looking for an outsider’s impression, of travel, safety, food, etc there.
    55
  51.  @batalorian7997  The question was, “how is”, not who is. But thanks, I didn’t know who.
    55
  52. She is on point. One income families, has always been, the rare exception. With farm, or rural life, everyone is working, at what they are best at. It’s city life, that has made it confusing. When the work is external, to the home. When one income, isn’t quite enough. Both parties need to be adaptable, and dedicated.
    54
  53. Imagine how awesome China would be. If the mouse, (Taiwan), ate the pig.
    53
  54. I’m impressed, she didn’t get triggered, tried to answer the questions, and didn’t deflect. Huge win for her, and the interviewer.
    52
  55. When there, I was impressed with the optimism. The pride, of governing themselves. Not being occupied. The Chinese victim role, makes it easy to be a victimizer.
    51
  56. My Chinese born wife, shocks me quite often. With her lack of regard, for others. After my elderly mother died. She insisted many times, that I no longer had, to look after my stepdad.
    51
  57. It’s good that he clarified. That faith, doesn’t have to mean religion. It’s bigger than that.
    49
  58. When will Tibet ever be free, of the pillage. Tibetans believe that rivers have souls, and should run free.
    48
  59. Thank you, so much for the coverage. We in Canada, hear so little, of how serious this is.
    46
  60. Yes, my stepson who mostly grew up in the west. Sees nothing wrong with the occupation and treatment of the Uighur’s, Tibetan’s, inner Mongolians. It’s just an inconvenience. Drives me nuts.
    44
  61. When I talk to my Chinese born wife. About what is happening in Xinjiang Tibet and the harassment of Taiwan. She says what’s the difference, politics is all the same. It’s one party, or the other, complete apathy.
    43
  62. Just heard a story that the CCP has debt trapped the DRC, into closing two Australian iron mines, and giving them to a Chinese company.
    41
  63. There would be too much survivor guilt. That is why, she advocates for the people.
    40
  64. Sounds like Monty python.
    40
  65. Could be why the Muslim world is suspiciously quiet about the Uighur’s internment. China is buying their oil.
    39
  66.  @JigilJigil Contractually there were huge fines, for non delivery of gas. Unless there was an accident.
    39
  67. It’s amazing that the Germans could have enough troops. While most of them, were on the eastern front.
    39
  68. Taiwan, the keeper of historical Chinese culture. That wasn’t destroyed, by Mao. Stay awesome.
    39
  69. I’ve been saying for a long time. Don’t buy Chinese stocks, you don’t own them, the accounting is political, the legal system is political, and you’re supporting their military.
    38
  70. Don’t forget, China is doing it at scale. We just don’t see it.
    37
  71. If they can be like this with their own. The tragic stories of the Tibetan, Mongolian, Uighur, religious groups, organ harvesting, etc. Are more than likely true.
    36
  72. If crows had little arms, like a T-Rex. We would have, serious competition.
    36
  73. It’s like, all the electric cars in China, are coal powered.
    35
  74. Define spineless. “Canada”. We aren’t even discussing this. Good on you.
    35
  75. Because, it didn’t look entirely staged??
    34
  76. No matter how badly executed. The Russian tactic, of slowing grinding forward. Shows no regard, for their young men.
    34
  77. Wow, I wish I knew that. It would add, a layer of significance.
    33
  78. Or part of, a Monty python script.
    33
  79. Thank you. They are also buying, all the rental property. I work in 14 Vancouver apartment buildings. 13 are Chinese owned. How do we turn this around?
    33
  80. I get ridiculed, when I say. China was in an excellent position, to learn from the past mistakes, of other countries. They could have developed responsibility, but chose not to. We will all pay, for this.
    32
  81. Joey, spread the word. Thank you.
    32
  82.  @donwald3436  True, it’s cultural. Taiwan didn’t experience Mao tearing down the culture. Leaving it for talk down to the people dictators. My wife went back to visit friends and relatives in Beijing. They have lost their souls. The only thing they are interested in is money, or food. She was so disappointed.
    32
  83. I have a shaker, with cocoa powder, cinnamon, turmeric, and black pepper. In declining order. For my coffee. It’s not bad.
    30
  84.  @gemox3225  I’m Canadian, married to a mainlander, 14 years here. She is so jaded, she thinks all governments talk crap. But then defends the Chinese government “facts”. I say, when all the information goes through the ministry of truth, it’s all garbage. She doesn’t see the difference.
    30
  85. Thank you, I’m so tired, of people here complaining. We bring ourselves down, with the infighting.
    29
  86. Life is full of surprises. I’m 64, and my wife is just now, letting her guard down.
    29
  87. What you charge, does not always reflect value. In the way we think. Im a self employed contractor, for rental properties. If the owner is rich, and gouging the tenant. I’ll charge more, and then not work for them. If the landlord is fair and honest. I will do extra, and charge less. At a certain stage of life. It’s more about relationships, than just money.
    29
  88. If it were that simple. My wife and I are in a monogamous relationship, we are happy with that. In theory. In reality, she was brought up to think sex is dirty, and a low level need, (not in a good way). I feel otherwise. Problem is, finding deep connection, and fun, with someone else. Is, it’s someone else.
    28
  89. So on point. At 61, I’m hearing about old friends, having serious medical issues. The last 40-45 years, I’ve had my head down, working all the time. I quit 2/3 of the folks, I worked for. Called these old guys, and said, make me a list, of what needs fixing. I’m coming over. Best decision, I’ve made for a long time. It rekindled, old friendships, and feels great. After the bad fires this year. We are now having, horrendous flooding, in BC. I met some people who, have been off their farm for three weeks. The minute they can get back on there. I’m dropping everything, to head out to help. Way better, than working for rich people. Who complain about spending anything, on their rentals. So what, if I slowly burn through my savings. We don’t know, how many good years, we have left.
    28
  90. Burning all the worlds coal.
    28
  91. In revenge, they've given us, the modern BMW, and Mercedes.
    28
  92. My wife is in China right now, visiting her elderly mom. Her moms pension is good, she was a uni professor. What she is appalled by. Is that visiting her old friends. The only thing they want to talk about, is money, or the things they have. She feels like, her friends are empty shells, no souls, no spirit.
    27
  93. And my 96 yr old Canadian veteran stepdad, says. They were nervous about including the US in the D day landing. With so many, being inexperienced.
    27
  94. The average taxpayer, can not afford, the average government employee. With their benefit packages, and pensions.
    26
  95. Thank you Sam, for saying what isn’t said. We are being played.
    26
  96. Oooo, the CCP will use that clip, for sure.
    26
  97. Taiwan is a special autonomous zone. It is special, it is autonomous. Stay awesome, Taiwan.
    26
  98. Thats why, they invaded Tibet, for the water. How easy it is to say, Chinese territory. Please, do not suggest desalination projects. China already burns more coal, than the rest of the world.
    25
  99. Has he ever shown empathy, or concern, for another human being?
    25
  100. Please keep sharing what you know, change is obviously needed.
    24
  101. She didn’t help for money. She helped, for respect of others, community, and herself. To honour her, pass it on. Do good deeds, for others. And say, pass it forward, when you do.
    24
  102.  @KibuFox  I didn’t know that. I figured with Celsius, you go straight into decimal points, in units of 10. No room for error. Except human error.
    23
  103. I love that. So elegant.
    23
  104.  @portaltwo  Owwww, give them shit!!! Report it, to your member of parliament.
    23
  105. I really love the connecting with other people and working with your hands part of this. Sign me up.
    23
  106. Stay awesome Taiwan. In Serbia, they have built coal power plants. It went from beautiful and clean. To, the sky don’t lie.
    23
  107.  @lefermier10 As a foreigner in China, it’s all politics. As a Chinese in China, it’s not a choice.
    23
  108. Don’t worry, China is still working on it.
    22
  109. What’s great about Xi’s peace proposal. Is it emphasizes respecting sovereignty and borders. Can you imagine the relief in Taiwan!! Even possibly Tibet, and Xinjiang.
    22
  110. It is our fault, for becoming too reliant, on a communist state. All of us, around the world.
    22
  111. The world needs a reasonable, respectable, and strong USA. While you guys are fighting each other. The CCP, a criminal organization, is taking over the world.
    22
  112. Don’t forget, the horrendous numbers, of by gun suicide. That is rarely talked about.
    21
  113.  @JohnStockton7459  Because he was a public figure. Who was damn good, at calling out hypocrisy.
    21
  114. I’m totally with you. My wife has a really strong fear of abandonment. She can go into a panic/rage, with the slightest trigger. Then be fine for days. It’s about understanding the signals, and the internal processing.
    21
  115. Nip it in the bud, before it gets larger, seems obvious. But, maybe the police were doing surveillance, waiting for bigger fish? I know, wishful thinking. Same problems here, in Canada.
    21
  116. Taiwan didn’t trust China, and jumped on it right away. While the CCP, was still trying to hide it.
    21
  117. Honouring a fair and courageous judge. Then getting arrested!! That should start a movement, if nothing else can.
    21
  118. If the CCP can do this with its own people. Imagine the occupied territories. If we let them, it’ll be us next.
    21
  119.  @AlmostAeroGauge  My point was. It’s not ok, to dislike someone, you’ve never met. Because they are of, a darker complexion, than yourself.
    21
  120. Hopefully one day Hong Kong will be a safe place to visit again. For Agnes, and the rest of us. Long live Taiwan.
    20
  121. And they want us to believe. That the people’s in the occupied territories, are treated well!! We’ve been to China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and many other Asian countries. Taiwan is awesome. China could be. HK was. 🦨💩🍯
    19
  122.  @NS-xt5wv  Sorry you lost your mom, so young.
    19
  123. It’s funny, we don’t question the Chinese data. When they make such an effort to cover up, and blame others.
    19
  124. Time to start a, not made in China store, site.
    19
  125.  @johnlo5687  Is there a reason, he can’t tell us, about his experience? No there isn’t. That the beauty, of living in a free country.
    19
  126.  @mirai4906  I hope that idea, helps at least one person. Any way to shake off trauma, is great. Otherwise, it cuts a chunk of possibility, out of a whole lifetime.
    19
  127. You ever been to China? They make it, an art form.
    18
  128. Sounds like what the CCP is doing with 1.5 billion people.
    18
  129. Are you saying, that chemistry classes are not in Metric?? Chemistry, is all about measurement, and accuracy.
    18
  130. A reminder, that we need to tell our loved ones, and friends. That we appreciate them. (and others in general)
    18
  131.  @tomfrazier1103  I'm married into a Chinese family, and have been to China. There is a really strong sense of, being victims of the west, Japanese, mongols, (but not Mao), promoted by the government. Most of their hardship, was self inflicted. But, they don't see it that way. Causes a huge insecurity, from anything that makes them lose face. Resulting in, a bravado, that justifies just about anything. When the Philippines, Japan, or other, complains of the CCP incursions into their waters. They howl with indignation. Any CCP government action against others, seems justifiable. Their fishing fleet, is wiping out the oceans fish. That's ok, as long as "we" get it. Answer to your question, a power, control, crazy government, with a compliant population. That will revolt, if not well fed, and making money. They need to secure, cheap food, and cheap resources. Any successful democracy, like Taiwan, or the USA, is a big threat, to the criminal organization running China. So has to be dealt with, by whatever means possible.
    18
  132. Last year on “Drifts n lifts” there was an episode with a Tesla 3.
    18
  133. Does most of the crowd, feel sorry for her. While scared to confront, the evil auntie? There could be a growing frustration amongst the younger, and more cosmopolitan?
    18
  134.  @sharonhsu1762  Totally, it was clean, and the people felt grounded. My only complaint, is it was hard to find pro Taiwan shirts, or anything. Saw the flag, twice. You guys feel somewhat like us Canadians, proud, but don't show it much. In the shadow, of a big powerful nation, that can't stop talking about itself.
    18
  135. You could be talking about Taiwan. It is a high trust society, as well. Why, China want's to destroy it, is so stupid. It is a shining example, of what China could be.
    18
  136. I don’t know how to spell it. The Lowack, a kind of weasel, likes to eat coffee beans. It only picks the best ones. So, when it poops out the “seeds”, those are the best coffee beans. Searching through the bushes for fresh weasel poop, is not efficient. So they keep them in small wire cages. Feeding them the coffee fruit, of whatever quality they choose. It’s really sad to see, these stressed out animal’s.
    17
  137. When insurance goes up by multiples, at your local retailer. The price of goods goes up. Or they shut down. What will you say then?
    17
  138. In the name of fairness. We should stop subsidizing Chinese shipping and postal rates. Charge duties, that at least match the ones, on imports to China.
    17
  139. My Canada experience is, we like to complain. I’m sure lots of people have bad experiences. For me, I’m forever grateful, for our medical system. My wife and now adult kids, have been to countless specialists. My parents, had fantastic care, including the care home. Those final years, in your 90’s, can go on for quite a while. The surgeries, and care that I’ve had. Has always been prompt, and professional. For a few extra % on my taxes, and some medication costs. Just the peace of mind, of not having to worry about access or cost. Is priceless. My wife had three bowel surgeries as an infant, megacolon. I was three months premature, in 1960. We were damn lucky, to be born here. I’m self employed, with no special coverage, just a care card in my pocket. According to the “news”. The system lost a number of over worked staff, during Covid. That some areas have wait lists. Small towns, are short of Dr’s, because of a wave of retirements.
    17
  140. As a Canadian, we love our impulsive cousin. But are very worried, about the political divide. Right after, Chinese government influence.
    17
  141. The worlds media, is sleeping. Thanks guys, this is great.
    17
  142. I’m not American. Please don’t be offended, it’s not the Chinese people. It’s the leaders, in China. That are the greatest threat, to the world.
    17
  143. Thank you, for what you do. Stay awesome, like Taiwan.
    17
  144. Like my parents, and grandparents, growing up on the farm. Nothing but, hard work, and good food. Strong healthy people. (With a good attitude too)
    16
  145. A better social system, if you are Han. If not, good luck everybody. Just ask the Uighur’s, Mongolian’s and Tibetan’s, if they are enjoying the occupation.
    16
  146. Probably made with, Chinese components.
    16
  147. This explains, why the population is so docile. With the current, criminal organization.
    16
  148. I’m shocked at the map! They didn’t cross the border, into Canada?
    16
  149. Yes and no. The tribes did fight each other. It's more about one group, having more effective tech. If China gets a turn, they want to take it. Ask a Tibetan or Uighur, how it's going for them.
    16
  150. Another one is. My Chinese wife, is focused on feeding. “The cat likes you better!! But I feed it, grrrrrrr!!!!” “You want Attention?! What’s wrong with you. I feed you too!!!
    16
  151. Check out the happiness index, or the freedom index. Taiwan vs China. Or Hong Kong, before and after, the takeover. It’ll blow your mind. Btw, great map. How the heck, did they get reliable data?
    16
  152. Not just the north. The coastal mountains in bc are incredibly rugged and remote. You go into the mountains on the north shore of Vancouver. Cell service is gone after a few km. The next dirt road to the north is 100 km away. European hikers get a surprise, when there isn’t a restaurant on top of the mountain. I have seen nine bears this year, and I’m not out that much.
    16
  153. I’d say it’s power, control, insecurity, pride. The kleptocrats, have money.
    16
  154. Thank you, so much. For warning us, of the political division, in our countries.
    16
  155. I have too many, old Volvo’s? Could be fun too.
    16
  156. Next, we will be hearing about Moses. From the top of the mountain.
    16
  157.  @alu1706  It can be quite the rabbit hole. Two weeks before my 60th birthday. My Chinese wife asked what I want. I said, no gifts, no party, just some close time with you. What ever you are comfortable with, in an intimate, romantic, possibly sexy kind of way. A few days later she asked, “no really, what do you want”? It didn’t happen. But I did take her, to the mountains, and an air BNB, for her birthday. Of course, she was still entitled, to complain about it, afterwards. Same with other holidays.
    16
  158. Who “was” that cyborg tech girl. With a Uighur gf?
    15
  159. The China Show, does a good in depth analysis of the balloon story. Part of it, is comparing the external, to the internal narrative.
    15
  160.  @shardlake  Good competent loving people, don’t need comparison.
    15
  161. And a place where we are “allowed” to hear this. My wife is visiting in China right now, she says it feels so cut off. The media is all about how bad the west and the USA are.
    15
  162. Buying quality is smart. When you’ve bought a Chinese product three times. You could have enjoyed a quality one, the whole time. With less, trash.
    15
  163. I’m glad he never made it. A Canadian.
    15
  164. Careful, with the private health insurers. They have a strong lobby, once their foot is in the door. In Canada, we are slowly becoming like the USA system. Going towards, less coverage, for twice the price. Those social programs, are the quality of a nation.
    15
  165. Money? He is like my ex father in-law. The big ego, responds to praise. Tell him how smart he is, and classified documents are yours.
    15
  166. I’m sorry for what has happened to your people, and country. Is it true, that China has placed, ethnically Tibetan’s on the India border, as they push the border.
    15
  167. I hope Oscar had some good people take him in. In those days, likely became a farm hand, or labourer.
    15
  168.  @mattgairns7565  He is telling like it is. If you can’t debate problems. How can they ever improve.
    15
  169. He is doing his best. The rest is up to us. Message your politicians.
    15
  170. Not, Jack Lumber?
    15
  171. For irony, they are leases, not even clear title.
    14
  172. Check your mutual funds, and pension plans. Make sure they are not invested in China.
    14
  173. It’s a deep rooted, insecurity.
    14
  174. Ever hear of, the social credit score? In the paradise, called China.
    14
  175. My takeaway from visiting Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. is you guys are a fantastic example. Of getting on with life, and being awesome. While the CCP, uses the victim card, and propaganda, to justify crappy behaviour. I’m sad for HK, losing its freedoms. Taiwan is awesome.
    14
  176. Canuck here, I do believe that farmers ranchers hunters enthusiasts, can have guns. If it is not treated as a toy. You don’t need an assault weapon, or machine gun, for coyotes.
    14
  177. Don’t forget, the man who broke Joyce. I’d like to have a wee chat with him too.
    14
  178. He is beholden to the Chinese market, and his bosses.
    14
  179. As bad as it looks, the fridge may have been empty for a week.
    14
  180. Go talk to the CCP. Tell them to play nice.
    14
  181.  @Republicwing  When the government tightly controls the media narrative. You look elsewhere for information. China has the world’s largest fishing fleet. While it’s own coastline is small, and over fished. Many of those other countries rely primarily on fishing for their protein. It affects them greatly. At this rate, us all. Occupying Tibet, damming the rivers, redirecting the water. Does that not, have disastrous affects for south east Asia. The Mekong? Who burns the most coal in the world, doesn’t use scrubbers, is building 500 more? Coal is suicide. Organ transplant tourism, big money maker. Why did Israel ban going there? Do your own research, but not CCP media based.
    14
  182. Good old, childhood trauma. My wife is convinced that intimacy, doesn’t need to go beyond the mind. Needing cuddles and sex, are about my unresolved issues, she says. To some extent, she is right. We did try having another partner. When my energy was directed to the other person. My wife relaxed, and was nicer to be with. But in the end, my feelings, the other person’s feelings, and attention were stretched. So we didn’t continue. Relationships are more complicated, than simple platitudes. Of do this, don’t do this, bad, good. Life is a journey, to navigate, the best you can. It’s not supposed to be easy.
    13
  183. If an online game is international. You are all foreigners, or not.
    13
  184. Very good point about children, and these being like candy.
    13
  185. China has been conducting unconventional warfare, for quite some time. We have been very slow, to understand, and respond to this.
    13
  186. Support Taiwan, it is a special place.
    13
  187. If you want hysterical. Fly a surveillance balloon, over China’s military installations.
    13
  188. The fictional character, had to pull at our sentiments. To be a great story.
    13
  189. It boggles my mind. That such a beautiful, and accomplished person. Can be touched by, these externalities.
    13
  190. “She raised, three incredible children” Says a lot.
    13
  191.  @Sluhrmz  Ha ha ha, mostly Chinese kids. But always talking to the grandparents, in Beijing. That would be, the main influence.
    13
  192.  @antonypadilla5599  Yes, i'm married to a Chinese woman. When she calls her mom, it sounds like they are fighting, it's very loud, and shrill. I have to leave the room.
    13
  193. It’s amazing how they have completely silenced, the narrative. Of Dr’s being reprimanded, and international flights being allowed. While the government was trying to cover up the outbreak. Long before the world knew about it.
    13
  194. Thank you for doing this. My Chinese family, think you talk shit about their country.
    13
  195. Thank you so much for covering this
    13
  196. Jordan Petersen, gives a great interview, on the Queen. "how the queen's passing will affect the world" In Canada, we run our own affairs. But when it comes to making a change to the constitution, or declaring war, level issue. Our PM, consults the Queen. It is like, taking your argument, to a tough, but trusted elder.
    13
  197.  @paulheydarian1281  They invaded those places, in modern times. Treating the people badly. Not cool.
    13
  198. Anything that gets us to freedom for Tibet, and East Turkestan. Is morally correct, but unlikely anytime soon.
    13
  199. I’m sure the Tibetan’s, Hong konger’s and Mongolians, enjoy being occupied. Nice to hear, an English speaker say Z-ed.
    13
  200. Darwin Award, for poking a sleeping grizzly, with a pointed stick.
    13
  201. Hell no, save the world!!!
    13
  202. Taiwan could use, lots of those.
    13
  203.  @cheesegrater6596  That’s what I was expecting, a string. Too obvious?
    13
  204.  @batalorian7997  So the whole set up, was for the Nassar joke?
    13
  205. There is hope, for China, and the world. “The people lose respect for the institutions. They cease to exist”
    12
  206. The last point was idiotic. Responsible fishers should not take over. To continue, a supply of cheap fish. The Chinese are overfishing, and destroying habitat. To a lesser degree, others are overfishing too. The only way, to prevent a collapse of fish stocks. Is less fishing, by everyone. You didn’t mention the krill fishery, taking food from the whales. Or the Antarctic fishery.
    12
  207. I’m sorry guys, we do want to be friends. We don’t want to boo your anthem. Please, get your 💩together.
    12
  208. Courage Taiwan. You are a shining star.
    12
  209.  @suchomimustenerensis5302  And, my ex wife.
    12
  210. Or Tibet, or Xinjiang, or Myanmar, or all border regions. Or the Solomon Islands.
    12
  211. Long live, the wonderful people of Taiwan. Be safe from the CCP political sabotage.
    12
  212. As if the Ukrainian government, isn’t busy enough already. Just keeping the people at home, alive.
    12
  213. To experience real Chinese culture, go to Taiwan. The people are so polite, and composed. That's why the CCP want's to destroy it.
    12
  214.  @KhalerJex  Unfortunately, this is mostly true.
    12
  215. Go NBA!! Grovelling, for a few extra bucks. Mao, Hitler, Stalin, would’ve loved you guys.
    12
  216.  @xavdeman  Better from over here. Where they can warn us, and be proactive. Back home, it's full on surveillance.
    12
  217.  @jjm4611  The poor social workers. Here they are, with a prostitute mom, and dad just overdosed. No matter what, they don’t have much to work with.
    12
  218. Protect Taiwan and stop buying Chinese stuff
    11
  219. There is a group of islands, the China took from Vietnam. Around the time they invaded Tibet, and Xinjiang.
    11
  220. I love what he is saying. He is like my family Dr. She reluctantly prescribes medication, and says eat healthy, if you want vitamins.
    11
  221.  @Wailwulf  We had the choice of going from British imperial measure, to metric, or American imperial. We did both. We still buy a pound of butter, and a gallon of milk, or paint. The milk is no longer 4.54L, it is now 3.78L. Petrol-gasoline, is in L. But building materials, are still in inches-feet. We are still influenced, by that large market, to the south of us.
    11
  222. Canada grow some. Kick out Chinese government influence, recognize Taiwan as a country. Speak up, for the people’s of the occupied territories.
    11
  223. We still subsidize their shipping rates.
    11
  224. You skipped over the biggest part? They blocked redemptions. While opening a new fund, to short commercial real estate.
    11
  225. The creepy part, is a government “owns” them. Using them accordingly. Just like owning their people too.
    11
  226. Did he get married?
    11
  227. Convenient place, to shit yourself.
    11
  228.  @KryptoKn8  You need a fat, or black pepper, to absorb the Turmeric.
    11
  229.  @anthrazite  The food in south east Asia, is delicious. But sometimes I’d go, wtf is this? When you eat shrimp/prawns, some fish. Chances are, it was raised in antibiotic cessponds.
    11
  230. Have you cancelled your TikTok? It will encourage negative activities, while tracking, and censoring you. Good for you to quit, be healthy. You only get one body.
    11
  231. That’s what I was thinking. That stat doesn’t make sense. 60% of income, pays food, and the other basics, no?
    11
  232.  @dendenmushi5458  Go ahead promote division. The CCP loves it. The left, and the right, have governed poorly. They both have set record debts, that will cripple the country. While western countries argue. The CCP keeps doing shit. We will regret, letting them.
    11
  233. Having just been to Taiwan. It really is a special place. The people are so grounded. Protect it.
    11
  234. How much of the Chinese diaspora, believe this stuff. My Chinese acquaintances do. They don’t know, that Canada, and other countries, donated medical supplies to China at the beginning. Here’s a good one. Have you ever heard a word of thanks, for being liberated from Japanese occupation, at the end of WW11. When China liberates a country, like Tibet, they keep it.
    11
  235. Yes, I had the same experience. They are grounded, it’s a high trust society. I’ve been to Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and other Asian countries.
    11
  236.  @wizedoggfc Some people do use vpn’s. The more they see the outside world, the better. The more we can be friends, the better.
    11
  237. A timely topic. Just the other day, driving past the “sky train” station, in Vancouver. My Chinese born wife said, “when I came here, transit payment, was on the honour system” “Now it isn’t, did we do that”? She wasn’t born, under Mao. But her parents were. So you get another generation, that is angry, and messed up. Many chinese families, are still very fractured.
    11
  238. What a ridiculous society. We were just in Thailand. Where there are a few ladyboys, here and there. No one cares, they are not treated differently by anyone. They are not paraded around, nor a threat. They are just people.
    11
  239. Shocking!! He didn’t sign off with. Keep your stick, on the ice.
    11
  240. I care, it can be a life long search. But anything you can do to feel safe enough with yourself, to love yourself, and accept love from others. Please do.
    11
  241.  @robsonmaquival5137  If you’ve been following any of this. The Ukraine, is a much smaller country than Russia. It has far less resources, to defend itself. Compared to what Russia has. Think of what Taiwan has to do. To defend itself, from an aggressive China.
    10
  242. Exactly, Because rip-off type companies, likely share info, or are owned by one family. Blowing your cover, for sensation, doesn't get the story.
    10
  243. China likes to say the same. Meaning. We can be very convincing, if you don’t love, the dear leader.
    10
  244.  @thebeautifulanimal  Yes, why I said occupied territory.
    10
  245. Standing together, with strong action, to support, and defend Taiwan. Is all you can do, against a bully.
    10
  246. For a job well done. Everyone deserves to be treated well. My confusion, is not knowing how someone is paid. Or how the tips are divided.
    10
  247. The Manchester attitude. Shows why police stations, and friendship centres, need to be closed immediately.
    10
  248. You can’t seriously have climate talks. When you are burning, more and more brown coal. We can help, by not purchasing their goods.
    10
  249. If the government has a tantrum. You know it needs fixing.
    10
  250. The nine dash line. That was peaceful. Just take, and deflect.
    10
  251.  @KyleRuggles  If that’s what it takes, to not support massive coal pollution, and ethnic cleansing. It would have been way less painful for all involved. If we did that in the first place.
    10
  252. Glory to Hong Kong-Taiwan. Where is Peng Shuai? Where is chained up peasant woman?
    10
  253. Or millions today, in forced labour, re-education camps. Live organ donor’s, for being of faith. While we are dependent, on this countries goods.
    10
  254.  @kyuzotatsuya9641  It's hard for anyone to see, or react to the imperialism. China is doing it so deceptively, and methodically.
    10
  255. It is happening now, with debt diplomacy, and pushing other countries weaknesses.
    10
  256. He lost his self esteem, when he decided to try that.
    10
  257. Worst? We always forget Mao. Who Xi, is emulating.
    10
  258. That must have been frustrating. I’m around Chinese people, ( in Vancouver). Even with asking, I’ve never heard a Chinese person. Give thanks, for the allies, (mostly USA), for the defeat of The Japanese.
    10
  259. Taiwan, is an excellent example, for Beijing to follow. It is a peaceful prosperous democracy. That kept, some of its heritage. They didn’t try, the great leap backwards.
    10
  260. To me, he is the child of an overbearing father, I don’t know of his mother. He is stuck developmentally, as a scared toddler, searching for love and acceptance.
    10
  261. Those Russian scooters, are the bomb. Every time you say storm troopers, I laugh.
    10
  262. Too funny. We had an aunty like that. Somehow, we all loved her. For being genuine.
    10
  263. Such a dangerous game. Voting in the pro CCP party, is the last time you have a choice. Like Russian roulette. Even if they have other ideas, that are good.
    10
  264. Don’t diss this guy. He was open to conversation. That’s fantastic.
    10
  265. The whole corporate west, needs a shake up. The business, and it’s employees, should be more important, than share buybacks.
    10
  266.  @Carol-zd8sc  Yes, embrace your culture. Sweep together the broken pieces. Be proud of your history, like Taiwan, be peaceful, be grounded again.  Did Mao 2.0, just change the names of 300 towns in Xinjiang, to Chinese names? Shame on them.
    10
  267. My Chinese born wife, does therapy work with Chinese people. They are a very broken, bunch of people. Hiding behind, the facade of, “Chinese are close supportive family”.
    10
  268. Then they say, big foreigner guy do it like us.
    10
  269. Calling it like it is, The greed=religion comment, is hopefully not true with all, but way too many. It is a problem. But by saying it, you put a target on your back. There is so little room, to debate issues, with mainlanders. I work at rental property building maintenance, in Vancouver. Most of the owners are Chinese. They seem to only see the numbers. Make tenant pay!!
    10
  270. How is your dad doing now? We can be simple creatures. We will do all the necessary basic things, for our loved ones. Then we are shattered, for not being enough. I will work long hard days, for you. Shorten my life, break my body. All I ask in return, is for you all to thrive, your quiet appreciation, and some affection.
    10
  271. Imagine all the good, these resources could go to.
    10
  272. The 50cent army, is out in force here.
    9
  273. How is, a reporter asking a question, dishonest or fake news? You guys are nuts.
    9
  274. In real estate, the foreign bond holders, were the first to be cut out. So why do we continue to buy their stocks? Foreigners, have no status, or legal standing.
    9
  275.  @Fish_Ventura  I agree with you, except one point. They are already at war with us, in an unrestricted manner. Just not the kinetic way yet.
    9
  276. If you want rituals and superstitions, try pro athletes.
    9
  277. I’m in Vancouver, I’m a maintenance man, for 14 apartment buildings. They are all Chinese owned. The regulations, don’t mean anything. They get citizenship here, and keep buying. Or through a relative.
    9
  278. He doesn’t need prayers. He needs, real hands on help.
    9
  279. Buy, Taiwanese products.
    9
  280. Imagine if they decided to emulate Taiwan. To become, a most beloved country.
    9
  281. Big guy, on a little tippy stool. I would too.
    9
  282. Shocking numbers. They have been so plentiful in the scrap yard. I assume, a ready supply of parts. My 850's are, auto blue/green 97 GLT estate, Turbo head, fitted out as a T5. Two, manual silver 97 AWD estate's, each with 98 T5 engines. I just gave one of the AWD's to an American friend, in Bellingham Wa. He may now have, the first one, in the USA. Others, Red auto 94 940 turbo sedan. 98 XC. Just sold, 86 240 sedan. Vancouver, Canada.
    9
  283.  @typhoon2827  Same country, that voted for the other guy, too.
    9
  284.  @martinshao3543  The Chinese know, what they are told. Some travel abroad. Ive been to Beijing, visiting family. On state tv, were two “westerners” debating the South China Sea. They both argued the same points, to each other. That somehow, it was ok for china, to take the land, and sea. (From the other countries, in the region). That the USA, was acting in bad faith, ( protecting the rights of the other countries). What most Chinese know, is through a propaganda filter.
    9
  285. Like that site, showing how happy Tibetan’s are, to be an occupied country.
    9
  286. That way, at least one works.
    9
  287.  @justnoel4088  Don’t argue with, “Darris Hawks” you will only get muddy, and no fifty cents.
    9
  288. Check your local university, and high school. I bet, they’re all doing it.
    9
  289. In Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, the locals are so charming, love them.
    9
  290.  @expressfix  And they have pandas!!
    9
  291. You really should go visit Taiwan. It is a high trust society, polite, with good manners. It is also very high on the happiness index. While China is in the mud. They didn’t suffer through the Mao era of social destruction. Followed by an overbearing government. Where you can’t talk politics or religion. They still have a connection to the old days. Yes it is the CCP, at fault in China.
    9
  292. You missed one. Their best “friend”, is always ready for more land and resources. Chinas latest new map, includes more territory of surrounding counties. Including a bit of Russia. You know, putting a toe on the water.
    9
  293.  @aconlin The irony, we had to lower our food standards to the Americans, letting in their dairy products etc.
    9
  294.  @limondorn1494  I'll trade you two Chinese, for a Cuban.
    9
  295. The Battle of Britain, probably the most decisive moment in the 2nd WW. Those Brits.
    9
  296. Much respect for India. The rest of us, have fallen into a dependency trap. Supporting a nasty regime.
    9
  297. Recognize, and protect Taiwan. Prevent the same, to more good people.
    9
  298.  @sirens367  I'm with you on that. I could care less, about jewelry. But when the local shops, can't stay open. Then we care. When it's on a broader society scale. We get a break down, of social norms. I don't know what the answer is. You can't throw petty theft burglars in prison.
    8
  299. He sounds a lot like. The most recent, US president.
    8
  300. I write in a special code. No one in my family, can read my writing.
    8
  301. Most of the uranium, or at least the processing. Does come from Russia, and it’s “friend” Kazakhstan. My biggest worry, other than the war escalating into Poland etc. Is the derivative market, tipping over. A few years ago, we were terrified of it. Then forgot about it.
    8
  302. I love these guys, in their original form. In Canada, we get a lot of, the American version. That didn’t work so well.
    8
  303. Or not be the biggest polluter, in the world.
    8
  304. In other countries territories.
    8
  305. Taiwan only? China has border disputes with 17 countries. Every time they redraw their map, it’s bigger.
    8
  306. Like the ones who bought property sector debt. Then were the first to be cut out.
    8
  307. No more, subsidized by us shipping. It makes for very unfair trade.
    8
  308. This guy, could have an excellent project. But mentioning, Ag being removed from the periodic table. Really hits, the bipolar radar.
    8
  309.  @andydarakus2084  Free to have an opinion, free to practice a faith, freedom of movement, freedom to choose organ donation, or not. Lots of things, we take for granted.
    8
  310. As parents, teachers, clergy, etc. If we don’t teach our kids, sex must include respect and love, for yourself and your partner. They learn about it, in a way, that can ruin it, and your ability to have long lasting good relationships. Encourage discussion.
    8
  311.  @Orangexcounty  She didn’t say, they didn’t have sex. She said, they fought about it. Had differences.
    8
  312. They will be fine, on the Cayman Islands. While the upper half, of the middle class will burn. When the retribution, and wealth taxes start.
    8
  313. What a wonderful man. Chinese people, can be very good people. Like those brave people, in Taiwan.
    8
  314. Yup, burn it all. Taiwan, is an example, of Chinese people, creating a prosperous, peaceful, democracy, with traditional values. So logically, it must be destroyed.
    8
  315. I’d say, walk home.
    8
  316. Now get out there, and challenge yourself. (In a fun way).
    8
  317. Why are we watching this? Trump ended the war, the day after the election.
    8
  318. Oh oh, I’m guilty. I upvote, at the start of your videos. A few of us, really appreciate, the crucial work you do.
    8
  319. The if it’s rare, it has special powers thinking. Is what makes TCM illegitimate, and evil. Rare, just switches from one, to the next. Till we have, nothing left.
    8
  320. Imagine this: Winter storm raging outside. You are in a remote log cabin, fire keeping you warm. You assure your good friends. We won’t die, of cold, or starvation. The car will start in the morning. Thanks to, ❤️Baijiu❤️

  321. Meanwhile, the native people swung by, to check on them.
    8
  322.  @anthonydurante1149  I do have married friends, who really went the distance, looking out for each other. After decades, they are still into each other. The mutual respect, teamwork thing, it's cool to see.

  323. It was held in places, that normally have lots of snow. In a real winter resort. That year was unusually dry.

  324. Yay, Chinese debt trap. That always works out well. Ask Sri Lanka.

  325. J, welcome. Long time immigrants, and hopefully recent ones, are here to be Canadian. Good. The large group that came, while China was more open, it was growing, with hope for better. The last 30, 20, 10 years ago. Many of these people, have created homogeneous community here. They can get by, in Mandarin, and follow, the ministry of truth. Should we be worried, that some, or many, are undermining our freedom to openly criticize, any state, specifically one. My 14 years from China wife, still believes the Chinese media crap. That it’s ok, for them to occupy another place, and people. While if the USA did the same, we would all yell bloody murder. My burning question is. How bad is it, in that community. How do we include them, so they are not our downfall?
    8
  326. Oww, that’s nasty. My Chinese stepson. Insists, nobody lived in that part of China. So they took it over
    8
  327. Has that situation, improved?
    8
  328.  @harrysmith8515  In Canada, and elsewhere, we are printing like mad too. The CCP virus, has accelerated, the already in place trend.
    8
  329.  @Micfri300  It isn’t specific at all. As far as I can tell. She only says something, when they are darker than herself. Tho, any one south Asian, gets extra mention.
    8
  330.  @veganjem  I'm sure TCM has wonderful wisdom, in it. But the use of endangered species, completely negates it, in my estimation.
    8
  331. Rare? Most men, like most women, have compassion for others. We don’t know, that we have any tools. To make as much difference, as Winston does.
    8
  332.  @strummerjones7647  I hope you’re keeping an eye on, Chinese expansionism, and arms buildup. While we eagerly wait, to purchase their cheaper, electric cars.
    8
  333.  @juststeve5542  You just gave me, a good reason, to visit London.
    8
  334. I sure hope, that she has an apprentice, or two.
    8
  335.  @Republicwing  This is not something to make a funny about. It is a serious problem, like the Chinese coal burning, it is killing us all. Or human organ harvesting, no excuse.
    8
  336. It is also cultural. The Swiss, have lots of guns. But for them, it isn’t a toy.
    7
  337.  @XandieFireman  I hear, that some of the shoals, in the West Philippine sea, are really popular.
    7
  338. Resentment, is blaming. Your life is important, it’s up to you to take charge of it. My father didn’t want me. He tried to cause my miscarriage. As a result, I was born a preemie. He never said he loved me, called me stupid. He killed himself. Those were his demons. Now I wish, he was here to be a grandfather. It’s your life Franko, move forward. That’s what this video, was talking about.
    7
  339. When the aggressor frames themselves as the victim. Anything is possible.
    7
  340. Interesting, the massive fires in Canada, barely got a mention.
    7
  341. China is extorting Pakistan, to get a port, land, and diversionary conflict with India. By threatening to hold back water. (Why invading Tibet, was so important).
    7
  342. Keep these stories alive. Teach others, and the algorithms.
    7
  343. Didn’t Chinese ships, also cut cables, in Lithuania and Taiwan?
    7
  344. A German one, and a Japanese one too. The good people of Taiwan, don't deserve this aggressive behaviour.
    7
  345. Only Taiwan!! Taiwan is a beacon of hope, for the region. The CCP is threatening a lot more countries than just one. They want all of us.
    7
  346. Long live Taiwan.
    7
  347.  antonystringfellow5152  Cutting up ties with allies. And kissing ass, with dictators. How did we get here?
    7
  348.  @josiahamaze To a small child, the monster is real. When we grow up, the wounded child within, may still react.
    7
  349. Wow, I didn’t catch, that this is a trans person. Seems like a good, all rounded.
    7
  350. China is fine, it’s the CCP that’s the problem. Expanding into neighbours territory, human rights, destroying the environment, world fishing. They could have learned how to develop responsively. This is not a hate China comment. Their government is too much control. There is no room for discussion. Watch the hate comments that follow this.
    7
  351. I’m a dad. The smile on that little girls face. ❤️
    7
  352. The story is about, the Arctic region.
    7
  353. Now, Hong Kong isn’t safe, for anyone.
    7
  354.  @sadafnajeeb3285  It's called deflection. Ohh, look over here!!
    7
  355. She is mad. Cause that kid should be knocking on her door. So she could mistakenly shoot him.
    7
  356. I loved traveling there too. The people are really nice. It might not work out so well, if you are tall, or large. The plastic chairs, in the restaurant’s, are kid size.
    7
  357. The Polynesians started in Taiwan? That’s amazing. Remarkable geopolitics, they went south, not west.
    7
  358. Nice to hear some good news on the recalls. Apparently S Korea is having the same problem, with political infiltration. Wong-e, was drinking his own Kool-aid. Too funny.
    7
  359. I always appreciate, your thoughtful analysis.
    7
  360. Employers are having difficulty, finding smart, capable, reliable workers. We need, smart, critical thinking people. Who are not entitled.
    7
  361.  @faisaladnan1520  Agnostics, are the most logical. There is no way of knowing, if any of the god theories have any truth. We can assume, they are all imagined. Superstitious tribes people, having hallucinations. Using their visions, for power, and social control, is obvious.
    7
  362. Magnus, I’m watching from Canada, thinking the same thing. They do get winter, every year, no? What happens, at night?
    7
  363.  @neyte7313  Yes, true.
    7
  364. Only problem is, jail is expensive for the taxpayer. Some kind of work, skill development camp?
    7
  365. If they are scamming themselves. Be quiet!!!
    7
  366. Their what?? Thinking critically, is not allowed.
    7
  367. Don't you worry about us, we still have elections. Trudeau, our trust fund baby, will move on. I agree with you, the British legal system gave us rights and freedoms.  @squiremc 
    7
  368. Those stats must come from the bought political class.
    7
  369. Voluntarily?
    7
  370. Don’t worry, when things get bad. They just blame others.
    7
  371. With a reputation, for stiffing his tradespeople.
    7
  372. Embrace the pain, it makes you into a diamond. My sanctuary, is being in, walking in nature, the forest. Find yours, not in manic, or escaping way. Love you.
    7
  373. Going to Rome, as a 12 yr old boy. Never mind castration. He was a mouse, in a cat house.
    7
  374.  @coyote4326  Calm down, we’re on the same team here. I went back, and watched it a few times. I listen to these clips, more than watch, too.
    7
  375. Such an important message, for us to hear, and act upon. Reach out, and talk to your neighbours. Left or right, we want what’s best, for our countries.
    7
  376.  @once_upon_a_canopy_tree  The people of Taiwan, live every day, with the threats from the CCP, over their heads. Yet they are composed, and centred. You should go, it'll change you perspective, on Chinese culture, it's depth.
    7
  377. Reason to protect Taiwan, and the South China Sea countries.
    7
  378. Now that’s interesting. That should have been easy.
    7
  379.  @rosstocher  Fish raised in pollution, or stolen from other countries, packaged as Chinese. Sells for way cheaper, than local fish, in Canada. It’s time to recognize Taiwan, and stand up for a lot of things, that are wrong.
    7
  380. We buy their disposable junk, they buy our land. Fair deal? The quiet invasion.  @tactiti0n 
    7
  381. True beauty, is in the eyes, the soul.
    7
  382. Having Chinese family. Who, do not take inquiring conversation well. I really appreciate, your honest sharing of experience. Be safe, you are a gem, shining in the darkness.
    7
  383. They have promised to increase coal burning till 2026. They also build coal power plants, in other countries, like Serbia.
    7
  384. An award, for stealing someone else’s work. Says it all. So proud.
    7
  385. It would be amazing, to see this girl, just totally drop the facade. To be long enough, in a safe, no judgement environment. Most of us, get stuck in boxes. It takes courage, to break out. I'm trying, and i'm just an ordinary guy.
    7
  386.  @wildancrazy159  Laurel & Hardy, oak oak oak.
    7
  387. Very understandable. My wife grew up in Beijing, 1970’s-90’s. She was so racist, and narrow minded. It has been painful to watch, her revulsion of any difference. Especially brown people. But after two decades in Canada, she has opened up as a person. She is now very accepting of people, for who they are. It can happen.
    7
  388. Hyper sexual, and a child?? That’s ok, you will grow into it. But saying that, Is not ok. Only because, it would attract predators. People who have no interest, in what is best for you.
    7
  389. Kids are great, if you are a balanced parent. The problem with kids, is there are billions of us already. Eating, this lovely world.
    7
  390. One day, a free Tibet. Hiding the texts, was very wise.
    7
  391. If a presidential candidate, can’t handle being quoted. Can only take softball questions. Are they leadership material?
    6
  392. Same in Hong Kong, recently.
    6
  393. Incinerated?? That solid waste, from the plant. Should be excellent fertilizer. Assuming, people there are not putting household chemicals down the drain. Remember, everything you shouldn't put down the drain, eventually comes back in your drink.
    6
  394. They all feel so helpless, about their lives. I hate to see these young men sent to war. For no good reason.
    6
  395.  @jackedwards7420  HaHa, a fundamental law, of the universe.
    6
  396. Protect Taiwan, and stop buying Chinese stuff. Fair play, or loss of freedoms.
    6
  397. This guy is nuts. You don’t save %20, on a %20 cheaper project. If they don’t hire local, and spend locally. Normally with large projects, most of the money, goes back into the local economy.
    6
  398.  @colinlee9678 So you don’t mind, if the Mongolians come knocking again. (For most of Chinas history, it’s been feudal states at war with each other)
    6
  399. Large scale geothermal, is difficult to to. Stable fluid flows, extreme heat, corrosion, and calcification. They would if it was easy. I invested a lot of money in geothermal projects, when it was promoted as easy, low impact, money gone.
    6
  400. Do you know, how long is too long, to fast? I’m going to start, solo hike/fast. It’s something I did at a younger age, just over nights. But now at 61, I feel it’s time to look after my body, and spirit.
    6
  401. Strange what trauma creates in us. You managed a job, that no ordinary person could do. So many of the amazing relationship therapists, are the children of holocaust survivors. As it hurt you, it also gave you great strength. Now it’s time to heal your heart. ❤️
    6
  402. If we clean up our act. What's to prevent the Chinese banks, from picking up the deals?
    6
  403.  @JohanThiart  Think of where your clothing, and your food, comes from. Two of the most basic things. They both rely upon, lots of inputs, and farmland. Reminder, farmland is not nature. Most of the best natural habitat, is now farmland.
    6
  404. So, YouTube doesn’t care about scammers? But they demonetize and cut, anyone reporting on the Chinese government? That isn’t a shill for them. Like Lahowe86, SerpentZA, China Uncensored.
    6
  405. Good old, deflect, and project.
    6
  406. Negotiations are always important. China can hamstring their opponents. While doing what they like. Example, pollution, patents, political interference, trade, fishing fleet.
    6
  407. Can we stop saying, reunification?
    6
  408. Bet, her life depends on it.
    6
  409.  @noneyaratman714 Yes, we have been ignoring, a lot of things. Especially in the occupied territories, pollution, fisheries, colonialism, no law or free speech-religion, etc.
    6
  410. Not a peep about cutting, the corporate middlemen in healthcare, or other agencies.
    6
  411.  @randomname3109  Is this a deflection? Tibet is Tibet. The Donbas, in in the Ukraine.
    6
  412. Why does, every time China issues a new official map, it includes more territories? Go to your local school's, check to see if the maps and globes, were made in China.
    6
  413. Accountant slaves, are not the best, for action films.
    6
  414. You know they are Russian, when grandpa wrestles the bear, for a chicken leg.
    6
  415.  @user-jo5ml8et1z  Remember in China, when covid started. People thew their pets, out the windows. It was pretty disturbing.
    6
  416. If anyone says Indian, or other variant. Remind them, to say Wuhan or CCP virus, to be fair, and not racist.
    6
  417. Don't let this happen to Taiwan.
    6
  418. The gift, that keeps on giving. Thank you, Xi.
    6
  419. Pulling special status of HK, is a catch 22. When they do, it’s over for HK. It’s admitting, it no longer has autonomy. If the protesters use guns, it will be an excuse for the CCP to do a Tiananmen. Make noise, to the worlds media, politicians, the UN, etc.
    6
  420.  @JZH10000  He said, started at that plantation, 50 years ago. Who knows, what they were doing, 15 years, before that.
    6
  421.  @kensommers5096  Not someone, you want to mess with.
    6
  422.  @wesleyhurd3574  That’s my take on it. Small retailers, get hit hard, by the credit card companies. It’s like the insurance companies, sucking up the health care dollars.
    6
  423. Anti immigrant? She doesn’t look native.
    6
  424.  @yiunam1  What most of us, fail to notice. Is that the Chinese government, has made everything political. They control all the information, through the ministry of truth. It is all used, to gain control, power, and territory.
    6
  425. Your reporting, is so important, for us to see. More people need to see your work, before we are all slaves.
    6
  426. Once a thief, always a thief. Why deal with these people?
    6
  427.  @dprcontracting6299  That is a depressing thought. Seriously, you can improve. As a kid, everything I did, at home or school, was to avoid attention. Most people, would not know that now.
    6
  428. All free countries, are at risk. China is, unofficially, at war with us.
    6
  429. Watch 1420, he interviews rural Russians on what they think. It’s so dystopian, and tragic. It’s worse than rural China.
    6
  430.  @squiremc  Wow, what an honour to be there. The last of the WW2 vets are about gone. My stepdad, was on a minesweeper, Atlantic, North Sea, Normandy. Father-in-law, was merchant marine.
    6
  431. They now have, 74 years of humiliation.
    6
  432. He did only play in the second half, in Japan.
    6
  433. It’s not just about, taking market share away from good companies. It’s also, sending money to support a government. That is bad for all of us.
    6
  434.  @arcanecrisis  No comment section is complete, without scammers, and wumau. I hate the scammers. Pity the wumau.
    6
  435. You will be. If we don’t stand united.
    6
  436. It’s so hard to watch. My life long friend, has pushed everyone away from him. Has become angry, and always on guard for insults. He is uncle to my kids. He has shut them out too. I’ve seen old people get paranoid and shut in. But when he is your spirit brother… What to do?
    6
  437.  @Sugarglidergirl101  Wait!! We can’t have a real person. Relate their actual experience. Instead of hating, or dismissing you. I hope you are doing well.
    6
  438.  @davidli9457  If you travel to both places. You will see what I mean. Taiwan, did not experience the ravages of Mao. Tearing down the old culture, and religion. Then living with, the Communist Party afterwards.
    6
  439.  @alasdos9293  They are rude everywhere, including their homeland. It's all about, advantage for me, nobody else matters.
    6
  440. We do buy, the lower priced item. The company that doesn’t go over there, goes broke. Regulation, and legislation is needed.
    6
  441. Thank you, it’s like saying the Chinese people, are responsible for the CCP flu.
    6
  442. Backing down, on the Canada/Mexico tariffs. Is some good news. (Bluffing and bullying allies, is beyond stupid).
    6
  443. Let’s hope, he doesn’t top Mao, in “effectiveness”.
    6
  444.  Zack Smith  No haters here. China and it’s people, are mostly great. It’s the government, we don’t like. It is causing trouble, at home, and abroad. We can talk about green tech. When China stops burning, all the worlds coal.
    6
  445.  @tennishistoryandresultsdat4540  Sound’s like, strategy #1, deflection.
    6
  446. Taiwan, stay awesome.
    6
  447.  @americanfreedomworldpeace  The difference I found, is. In China, they are reminded of perceived insults against them. Deflecting, from the current 70 years of humiliation. While in Vietnam, a country that has been repeatedly occupied, or attacked. Doesn't cling to old grudges. The people are proud, open, and friendly. They may not like their government. But at least, it's their own people.
    6
  448. We’re not far from it now. The Chinese are buying influence around the world, rewriting maps, pushing pushing.
    6
  449. Like with Covid, it’ll hurt me, but it’ll hurt you more. Remember, it also shut down the Hong Kong protests, pretty quickly.
    6
  450. If we can just learn to be open and vulnerable to our partners. Actually understanding ourselves well enough, to know our desires, and triggers. We don’t understand our childhood trauma. Created by our parents, and their parents. When we are young, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, ect, these feelings are so urgent, desperate, confusing. Yes be married to someone. Fight for them, and yourself, we are all capable of real love. It may take a lifetime, or two, or three, it’s the journey.
    6
  451. Why can’t some parents, accept their children as they are?
    6
  452. Wow, we often wonder. How did the nastiest people in history, maintain loyal followers? Mao, Stalin, Hitler, ect. It must have been the same, for the silent majority’s. In shock, at the lunacy, while getting steamrolled.
    6
  453. It’s not just, adopt the child. It’s adopt the mother and child. If these generous and charming ladies want to make a difference. There is tremendous shame to abort, and even more, to give up a child.
    6
  454. When they say Bible. You should ask, any non fiction?
    6
  455.  @thatexcalifornian6124  If hooking up with a few strangers. Was part of your journey of self discovery. There would be nothing wrong with that, except a health risk. My ex wife, had various childhood traumas. Mostly starting with, bowel surgeries as an infant. She didn’t trust being touched, in a sexually suggestive way. We had everything, we had a great friendship. But my sexual frustration, never went away. We divorced after 25 years together, and still have affection for each other. She now lives alone, determined to never be in a relationship. I’d be happy, (and a bit jealous), for her to learn to accept herself. Free enough to enjoy being with someone, who really cares for her, in all ways. I’m glad you found a way to be free, of your restraints.
    6
  456. Then it swings to the other land of the blind. Ego pride and vanity, defined Trump. We need something else. Like a Mr Sowell, or Peterson. Who are big thinkers, who can take it all in. Rather than just being one camp.
    6
  457. True. Then they will say, it's proof their rights were violated.
    5
  458. Half the population, have their hands over their ears.  Can we get a leader that inspires civil discourse, brings people together, to face the big problems in the world. We are heading into rough times.
    5
  459. Berlin 1936. Beijing 2022.
    5
  460. China….Religion. So cute, and idealistic. She’s never heard of “the four olds” Try Taiwan, for Chinese culture. 👍
    5
  461.  @rizkyfadillah4131  That's the shits. I don't know about your politics now. Today, Bali is a wonderful country, with lovely people. If I can afford to come back. It's a place to spend more time, (the south side). Sadly the colonial mindset is still strong, with multinational corporations, and China.
    5
  462. Good thing, the Chinese fleet, is cleaning out, the oceans.
    5
  463.  @dalhaval283  Please tell me more. I’m not American, but I’m grateful that the USA isn’t like that. Otherwise I would be now American. Think about the Second World War. When the allies were exhausted. The USA with its new found power. Was able to make the difference in liberating most of Asia, and a lot of Europe. Did they keep any of those places for themselves? Or, did they help in reconstruction, and established safe worldwide shipping. Don’t tell me about military bases. If the host country wants them gone, they will leave. If China sets up a military base in your country, it’s game over.
    5
  464. Serious deterrence, is the only way to avoid a fight with China. Otherwise, China just keeps pushing.
    5
  465. Did it clean, the fuel tank?
    5
  466.  @GazB85  Of course you don't want to be a hero, if the guy is armed. My comment was about. Don't worry it's insured.
    5
  467. A debate like this, hinges on where you get your information. Is it from the CCP, that has an, we are everything agenda. Or from an independent scholar. Who is interested in what actually happened.
    5
  468. Any comments on how much land, China has taken from Bhutan recently.
    5
  469. One day, you may get your islands back.
    5
  470. Organic flour, can also help, for some people.
    5
  471.  @pschroe5 I know what you mean. Maybe he needed a snap back to reality. After getting into a zone, of opening up. An interjection of, hold on Mike, take a breather, I’m getting overloaded. I hear you, there’s a lot going on for you. Let’s take a break for a while, and have a breather. That may give him a chance to compose himself? Calm down the anxiety.
    5
  472.  @TheHumanRanger  Thank you, for your concern. My comment wasn't entirely fair. we are making progress, working on trust, and closeness. The change has been promising. She is more accepting of my touch. She is being courageous, in acknowledging the need for change. Opening her heart. It's baby steps, as a result, I feel safer to voice my needs.
    5
  473. Owww, a lot of deflection in this thread. Who here doesn’t have a wounded inner child?
    5
  474. If you saw that as an Econ major, we need you to keep going.
    5
  475. @Rene' D I Agree with you. One thing tho. The other players are merchants, that’s ok. The CCP are colonizer’s. With no regard for the resident people. Other forms of governance are a threat to them. So they do what they can to undermine it. Ask a native Tibetan, if they are enjoying the occupation.
    5
  476. @Anonymous If you’re going to give god credit, for this woman’s generosity. Don’t forget to also give god credit. For children with aids.
    5
  477. You can’t make good choices. When you have no options.
    5
  478.  @myleshagar9722  You completely missed my point. To prevent war, to prevent occupation, and work camps. Stop CCP influence and interference campaigns. They see talking as weakness. It has to be backed up with something.
    5
  479. First and foremost, closing Chinese police stations. And other, friendship centres.
    5
  480. Worlds largest market for EV’s. Worlds largest market for coal.
    5
  481. Luckily for the Tibetan’s, Mongolians, Uighur’s, Africans, and others. Ethnic hatred, and ethnic discrimination, is no longer allowed. It’s probably like, how they outlawed poverty, and religion.
    5
  482. For a small country to defend itself against a large close by aggressor. Must put a heavy strain on the ability to pay for domestic needs. If China could be peaceful. There would be so much more, for looking after the people at home. On both sides of the strait, South East Asia, the USA, etc.
    5
  483. They don’t publish stats, on élite capture. Wouldn’t that be the most important measure?
    5
  484. We will ignore your, politically motivated human rights. While you ignore ours.
    5
  485. Or just being awesome, like Taiwan. The world would be so happy for them.
    5
  486. The poor, are even more invisible. Since Xi, outlawed poverty.
    5
  487. Reserved, only for the healthy,religious, or ethnic.
    5
  488. That chill of vulnerability. When everything is going fine. Then you get pulled over by the Mexican police, for a shakedown. All of a sudden, you feel very far from home. Hey Apple, and Tesla, how’s it going?
    5
  489.  @kevinu.k.7042  yes to manufacture the EV’s, etc.
    5
  490.  @loot6 70 years, of glorious humiliation.

  491. As long as they continue to create conditions, that make them feel threatened. The military buildup will continue. Look at how dangerous, North Korea is. With its tiny broken economy.
    5
  492. Keep reminding us, this has to stop. Also the funds given directly to China, “because it’s still developing”
    5
  493. One of the biggest, “unfair treatment” of Chinese business. Is westerners subsidizing shipping and postal rates, for Chinese companies. This is very serious for any small business. We can’t ship small items locally, for what they pay internationally. Get rid of, developing nation status. It’s killing us.
    5
  494.  @Justin.Martyr  A sense of humour, goes a long way. For mental health. Thanks.

  495. Gold

  496. Hitler or Stalin!! They were puppies, compared to Mao. He rarely gets, his share of attention.
    5
  497. A Canadian desert.
    5
  498. We are in trouble, is rational thought, is now radical thinking.
    5
  499.  @sosuapimp8449  Trump Is the opposite, of these traits, he likes to divide.
    5
  500. I am telling people, how amazing the people are in Taiwan. So polite, and grounded, a real high trust society. They look at me, like I'm not even using their language. Wow, what has already happened in Tibet, is so big. It's a challenge, talking to people. Push very much, they think you are crazy. Keep up the work. Shine a light, on the darkness.
    5
  501. Same with Tibet. We can never forget Tibet. The spiritual heart, of the world.
    5
  502. Berlin 1936 Beijing 2022 They’ve done the same thing in Inner Mongolia, and Tibet.
    5
  503. Go forth and multiply. The greed, power, and folly, of religions.
    5
  504. Sure, you go tell China, to give back Tibet. It’s about controlling the water.
    5
  505. So true, call your media. It isn’t fair, naming geographic variants, but not the source one. The CCP flu.
    5
  506. Interesting, China didn’t contain the virus, when it had the chance. Whoops, cut domestic, but let those international flights continue, haha world.
    5
  507. Not to mention, the poor buggers, can’t chew much. It’s not like they sit around, softening moccasin leather.
    5
  508. Chinais doing it now
    5
  509.  @brokenbutterfly3178  I think what we need, is more time with our elders. Before committing, to one life partner. They have seen most of these things already.
    5
  510. Never failed at anything ever? He should be with his buddy in North Korea.
    5
  511. There are many, in the gold community. That are certain, that China has been hoarding, a lot more gold, than they say officially.
    5
  512.  @Minchya  Yet, we only get this information, from niche channels.
    5
  513.  @LeisRealTalk  A fitting name. They must be proud, of you.
    5
  514. Mao, joins in. If you don’t believe in god, he is the winner.
    5
  515. It’s not, a USA standard measure??
    5
  516. Never forget, the people of the occupied territories. Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, the Asian sea.
    5
  517. Share this video. Create a groundswell of response. We are talking pure evil here.
    5
  518. And Taiwan
    5
  519.  @ruthanneseven  Are you in Canada, eh?
    5
  520. The serial killer analogy, is spot on.
    5
  521. As a cultural norm. Created by the leaders. If we survive this. It would be an interesting study.
    5
  522. I’ve stopped using it, to talk to a few Chinese friends. If I remove the icon, from my phone. Is it still imbedded?
    5
  523. Good point.
    5
  524. The whole world needs to see your content. It’s not malicious, just real.
    5
  525. The fish in the live tanks, in grocery stores, and restaurants, gets me. Those fish are swimming in their own effluent, whatever antibiotics, and starving. Cruel, and not fresh, yum…
    5
  526. Imaging the French, doing business there. Not!!
    5
  527. A honey dipped, Snickers.
    5
  528. They also want Myanmar. A vey handy, Bay of Bengal sea access.
    5
  529. Or just, get them to market quickly. (When the animals get sick).
    5
  530. If China decided to be democratic, free, peaceful, and prosperous, like Taiwan. Everyone could go back to being friends, with minor disputes. All those military expenses, could go to helping people, and the environment.
    5
  531. Ten minutes into Mexico, we were pulled over by the police, frisked, and interrogated, until we handed over enough money. It sure made us a lot less nervous, about eventually, driving back into the USA. Other Mexico trips, were great.
    5
  532. So nice the scammers are here.
    5
  533. Worse than lonely. I had 25 years. With the very wounded, love of my life. Who needed my company, but didn’t want to be touched.
    5
  534. If you really want to piss them off. Team up militarily, with the other countries. That are having, territorial sea problems, with China. If you include the fishing fleet, that would be the whole world.
    5
  535. Good point, or it was her attempt, to send subtle clues.
    5
  536.  @RedJonChina  You should go to China. He was probably taught to say it that way. Rude, (or abrupt), is normal.
    5
  537. Let’s do what we can. To prevent this in Taiwan, and the continuation in the South China Sea. Not to mention the horrors in Tibet and Xinjiang.
    5
  538.  @gongsisrael1496  If you included the occupied territories of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia.
    5
  539.  @JimNZ  Yes, that’s what i wanted to hear. With the election of Milei. How much power does he have, how much opposition? Is he just a different kind of crazy? His policy sounds good. But pulling off big change, wont be easy. There will be pushback, when cuts happen. Interesting times.
    5
  540. The whole time, I was waiting to hear. If Argentina can shift politically. Into what that will look like. Not about, what we already know.
    5
  541.  @TheDaeroner If china copied Taiwan. If it became democratic peaceful and prosperous, I’m all for it. There would be no need, to counter their aggression.
    5
  542. Why are you guys so critical. We don’t know Aleks’s story. Before telling someone to go be canon fodder. What are you doing to de-escalate this stupid war. Or prevent another, in free Taiwan.
    5
  543. The good old days.
    5
  544. It’s (not) funny. How these people, who have full control, of their surroundings. When it’s all about, covering their own internal, feeling of failure. They are monsters, to anyone, that doesn’t stay in line.
    5
  545.  @ucanhvungoc7133  You know it. I’m already in trouble, for not buying a house.
    5
  546. Paul C Haha, if my Chinese wife got a ticket. She would be so mad. That next time she would be out at 2am. And pick every dammm one.
    5
  547. I so hope she gets over it. I don’t think, a person ever really does. This kind of betrayal, gets to the core of a person. My ex wife, was traumatized as an infant. By bowel surgery’s, and being left in hospital. 28 years together. Intimacy meant, being in the same space. Anything possibly sexual, was threatening. This kind of trauma, can ruin more than one life. I so hope this young lady, can find, and appreciate. Caring, and trustworthy, people in her life. It looks like she will.
    5
  548. He didn’t say globally.
    5
  549. I can’t believe, that people even think of buying Chinese equities. You don’t own anything. Like the foreign bond holders, of Chinese real estate companies.
    5
  550. Be safe Taiwan, prevent this horror. Shoot the balloons in your air space. Show resolve.
    5
  551. In Canada we have a freedom, to not worry about a shooter, at our kids school. To not have, medically induced bankruptcy. We can still talk politics, barely.
    5
  552. China so cute. Hey you tell us what’s going on, over in those guys waters!! We were completely open and accommodating, back in 2019, when the virus got out!!
    5
  553. Was her family vetted, when they came over? If you’re not native, your family were immigrants. (Poor people, looking for a better life, willing to work hard). Those guys.
    5
  554. Believe it. I like occasionally melting into a deep kiss, and all the rest. My wife is uncomfortable, with getting physically close, or even looking in the eyes. It’s been ten years. Neither of us has changed, our style.
    5
  555. Yes. My ex wife is. We are still best buddies, we understand each other. Even though, she couldn’t do intimacy, or even say I love you.
    5
  556.  @Mmmmkaaay  You maybe surprised, at how many men, are in abusive relationships. We don’t hear about them. Being tough, stoic, not allowed to complain, can dig a deep hole. That no one ever hears about. Seriously, it goes both ways. We all need to heal.
    5
  557. The better border coverage has shown results already. There have been two big drug busts, coming from the USA into Canada, already.
    5
  558. Save ourselves, in a hostile environment? While we can’t keep paradise, natural, and habitable?
    5
  559. Today in occupied Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang, what is happening?
    4
  560. My joke is. I was married into a wealthy family for 27 years. Then after, paid her support. Even though, i lost my home, and job.
    4
  561. It's so easy to forget the people of Tibet, and Mongolia. Words against a bully, doesn't work.
    4
  562. Why I never liked, Trudeau’s, “spend to prosperity”. Or, not being serious, about CCP infiltration.
    4
  563. I’m impressed, those taillights look perfect.
    4
  564. In the name of good will and fairness. Give Tibet, East Turkestan, and Inner Mongolia their freedom. Stop pushing into, all the other bordering states.
    4
  565.  @floridaLise  To go and destroy all the life forms, on another planet. We need to fix, the precious gift, that we have.
    4
  566. Actually, it’s 75 years of humiliation, the CCP.
    4
  567. If America abandons allies. Those problems will get bigger, and be knocking on the door.
    4
  568. If you want an example of real Chinese culture. From before 1949 when the party, tried to destroy it. Visit Taiwan.
    4
  569. I keep thinking, these are the young guys, sent off to fight a stupid war.
    4
  570. Mohammad?
    4
  571. Support Taiwan, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands, Myanmar, all countries under threat. Prevent this kind of madness.
    4
  572. Start, by getting big money lobbying, out of politics. How I don’t know? When it takes a billion $, to get to the top. You need corporate backers. It’s not a Democrat, or republican issue, it’s endemic. More videos, on how to fix it, pls. For decades, the country has been going bankrupt. At the hands of these people.
    4
  573.  @cray331 I don’t know about the silicone varieties. The sand shortages that get the press coverage, is construction sand. It is typically a basalt sand.
    4
  574. Yay humans. There is a huge problem with methane hydrates being released from warming permafrost. “Let’s go dig up some that is stable, and use that” This could also be, why China is stealing islands. To do the same.
    4
  575. Good for you guys, becoming self reliant. The USA needs to return to, predictable foreign policy. Working with their allies. Trump did the same thing to us in Canada. He made us an adversary, during his term.
    4
  576. If all the countries got their act together, and seized the Chinese fleet. We may have a few more years, of a living ocean.
    4
  577. They can go plant a flag, on the Chinese nuclear sub that sank.
    4
  578.  @Shengguo0  And in France, you also have the benefit of, real fromage. Instead of, coloured oil product.
    4
  579. They are more in touch, with their emotions, and our emotions, than we are.
    4
  580. Same in Canada. Our capitals are in smaller paces, because of terrorism. I’m in British Columbia, our capital city was moved from the mainland, to an island. Because the Americans invaded us twice, and luckily, lost.
    4
  581. Even with all the terrible things China is doing. They always get a pass. Why is that?
    4
  582. 75 years of deficits. Both parties, over decades.
    4
  583.  @PelleGIT  Profit is not the bottom line, if you've lost your morals, and clean air/water/land.
    4
  584. Massive military expansion, as well.
    4
  585.  @fredyyfredfreddy A few old ships, are nothing compared to the potential damages.
    4
  586. Anything that reduces their ability, to continue to militarize. 🍯
    4
  587. If you play along, with a bully. It only gets worse. Basic school yard, psychology. Simplify, your analysis.
    4
  588. The Dalai Lama, is the most important spiritual leader, in the world.
    4
  589. Daily reminder, Taiwan is an awesome country.
    4
  590. The lack of follow through on serious issues. Gives Beijing a free hand, to carry on. It’s not just by Australia, but by everyone. Teamwork is required, to make real changes.
    4
  591. What kind of people? In their minds, own a species. Is that how they view, people too?
    4
  592. A new chapter indeed, sighhh. 😞 Sorry HK, I’m not coming to visit again, till you are free.
    4
  593. Anything that slows the build of coal plants, is good. Unless it’s nuclear, built with the usual level of corruption.
    4
  594. Having to suffer, the tantrum and coercion methods of diplomacy. Can we just, not invite the CCP. To important, world wide institutions.
    4
  595. They are so lucky, they didn’t provoke the Canadian ship. It would have been, “release the geese”
    4
  596. Ten years ago, I was in Beijing. Back then the property prices made no sense. They were far too high, considering. Cheap land, cheap materials, cheap labour, leased title, and poor quality build.
    4
  597. Such a shame, that a peaceful prosperous democratic country. With the highest happiness and freedom rating in Asia, has to do this. Why do the CCP, have to be such a-holes.
    4
  598. Supporting the South Pacific Islanders, would go a long way. In preventing future problems. Like now, in the South China Sea.
    4
  599. With coal burning, pollution, and over fishing. They’re doing a pretty good job, already.
    4
  600. If China is a lender to developing nations. It must not, be one itself. So time for us to stop subsidizing. Their parcel delivery, and postal rates. Levelling that playing field. Would give small, and home based businesses elsewhere, a chance to compete. They can ship small items around the world for free. Using the target nations postal service. While we can’t mail within our own town, for that price.
    4
  601. We could go by the yuan dynasty. If cherry picking, from old times. It was all Mongolia.
    4
  602. Ask Beijing to clarify it’s claim, over Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Taiwan, 9 dash line area, Myanmar, India border area, Solomon Islands, etc.
    4
  603. Eventually, your audience doesn’t believe your truths either.
    4
  604. How can an empty apartment, in an empty building, be an investment??
    4
  605. Judge them on what they do. Not on what they say.
    4
  606. No one shareholder, or with another shareholder. Have the power, to oppose the government.
    4
  607.  @xhagast  The picking a wing off a fly, kind of humour. Or an unfortunate 28 yr old.
    4
  608. Domestic troubles? Time to start, a kinetic war. Lucky world.
    4
  609.  @skydragon23101979  The world, in different ways. You have heard of debt diplomacy? Bribe, or entrap officials, to accept ,and sell to their people. Infrastructure projects, or signing over resources, to the Chinese state. China brings it's own people over to build the projects, it's own camps, and merchants. This way, the money returns to China, rather than enriching the locals. The locals are left with crippling debt, and propaganda, saying China did something for them.  This would include, a lot of the global south. While you are down there, ask them, who took all the fish?
    4
  610. Interesting, Canada’s and Australian contributions, weren’t taken into account. The war, created Canada’s industrial core.
    4
  611.  @nohandle1028  Farmers, target shooters, probably others too.
    4
  612. Those wheel scoops, are definitely to let air in. ( the valve stems ). If they do have an air flow out function. The left ones, would go the opposite way.
    4
  613.  @fredrik3685  Yes, the information does get out. Despite their firewall, and propaganda machine. But for some strange reason, we mostly ignore it.
    4
  614. Grab, not, take one?
    4
  615. Canada needs to double what the USA is doing. It’s huge up there.
    4
  616. CCP virus
    4
  617. If the contested island, was ceded by one side. There must have been a trade, of some kind.
    4
  618. Ask the Philippines, or the Tibetan’s, if they enjoy being occupied? Don’t let it happen to you.
    4
  619. It doesn’t look like those farmers, will ever get a better price. The farmer in Thailand, was not allowed to bargain, with the Chinese buyer.
    4
  620. If it’s for such a potentially evil purpose. The ship should have been seized.
    4
  621. I can see this working beautifully, in communities, up to a certain size. Where they all know each other. Can it be adapted to cities, where there are millions of us? Or even if we were smaller groups, our modern mobility, can make us anonymous, and not responsible to the whole.
    4
  622. A lot of single cellular beings, strongly disagree.
    4
  623. So many things. This is a good news story. But, we still have the problem of too many people, eating too small a resource. Right now, the Chinese fleet, is removing the WORLDS fish stocks.
    4
  624. Nicely said. Or put onto a deity.
    4
  625.  @GodhandPhemto  As said above, "asia for asians", was an excuse the Japanese used. It's happening again, that's my point.
    4
  626. Return of capital, is way more important than, %1-2 on your capital. Sit on PM’s, and watch.
    4
  627. Guilty. I always buy extra. Now my garage is so full, I can’t find half of it. You do make a good point.
    4
  628. So, as a society, we told young people. That they can be anything, and can have it all. Now there’s a ton of, frustrated singles. With “high” standards. As their clocks tick away.
    4
  629. High performers, don’t eat garbage.
    4
  630. An inside person, could now be in a shallow grave, too.
    4
  631. Both parties running huge deficits, will come to a head, someday soon. 70 years of it, will hit the wall. Unfortunately, if it happens this year, Biden will be blamed.
    4
  632.  @grossindecency  Look at me, I'm praying for a good cause. The ultimate, virtue signalling.
    4
  633. The WHO team will be denied critical access. The CCP will crow, that nothing incriminating was found.
    4
  634. She did keep her composure. She also managed, to get her point across, if anyone was listening.
    4
  635. They will be remembered for being honest. A good long term strategy.
    4
  636.  @Andy-P  As far as I can see. The ROI, of the BRI, is. PR, control of ports, infrastructure, cheap resources, puppet leaders, votes at international bodies. Work for low class Chinese labourers, who then colonize the victim country. Insidious colonization.
    4
  637. Imagine a world, where you are guilty, and persecuted. For having a religious faith, or being Tibetan, Mongolian, Uighur etc. Is that a good place?
    4
  638. Make sure you hassle the sponsors, waste their time. Tell them why.
    4
  639. Keep your enemy closer. The jackal, and the hyena, are friends?
    4
  640. These incidents, are siloed. The people involved know. But the general population, doesn’t hear about the problems.
    4
  641. Especially pensions.
    4
  642. Drawing American troops into China was a stupid idea. Nobody wants to invade China. We just want China to be peaceful prosperous free, and awesome, like Taiwan.
    4
  643. OMG that is hilariously tragic. “Chinese Civilization” symbolized by, a kidnapped designer, and forced labour. That says it all.
    4
  644. Adding a cost, for the rest of us. Just because a few selfish people, can’t control themselves.
    4
  645. Not because, the only thing he has been successful at, is TV celebrity? This is his schtick. It put him over the top.
    4
  646. I’m from the C north north of you. It’ll take more than taxes. To get out from under. The 50+ years of ever larger deficits, in our countries.
    4
  647. Keep Taiwan safe. One war, is too many.
    4
  648. Tell China the same thing.
    4
  649.  @mrvan3491  There is no comparison. One, the whole world is free to criticize the USA, for it's failings. While, the CP has a tight control over it's internal, and external narrative. The other is, Guantanimo is not a good place. But in scale it is a rain drop. Compared to invading Tibet, and Xinjiang. Then committing cultural, and physical genocide, of their peoples. Wiping out an entire people, or reducing them to a tourist attraction, because they are inconvenient. Can not be justified in any way.
    4
  650. Support the Chinese military, invest your pension funds, in China. What could go wrong??
    4
  651. The Swiss I know, wouldn’t treat a gun, as a toy.
    4
  652. How much did they get to say “the Chinese don’t turn in their own” when the guy is from Hong Kong.
    4
  653. Don’t be quiet about it too. Protect Taiwan, freedom for Tibet, and East Turkestan. 🍯
    4
  654. Antibiotic resistance is very scary. When my Chinese wife moved to the west, she brought a big box of antibiotics, for home use. Even though she is trained as a lab tech. Yesterday she told someone, that she is trained as a Md?
    4
  655. Complain, to your big box retailer.
    4
  656.  @lililigoo4383  You are mistaken. We have only the best wishes for the Chinese people. That is why, we hate the CCP.
    4
  657. What a waste. It could have hit, a government building.
    4
  658.  @JayKay-on2gr  A good sign.
    4
  659. Why, you didn’t add to the conversation?
    4
  660. State creepy, vs personal choice, strange.
    4
  661. Worlds biggest EV market. Worlds biggest coal market.
    4
  662. Yes, 74 years of humiliation.
    4
  663. I like your use of the word American’s. Peoples, of the two continent’s.
    4
  664. We need to see this every day. Till we learn how to deal with it. Get the message out there.
    4
  665.  @Xi_Jinping_is_Pooh  For sure, it's ancient dynasty stuff. Just like the old maps and texts, they keep finding. The ones with the red dashed lines, in crayon.
    4
  666. New Zealand, please wake up, before it’s too late. If we are not Han. We will be, in re-education, and organ donor’s, if this goes to its conclusion.
    4
  667. Eating the whole animal is one thing. Killing an animal, for one piece of it, is evil. Especially if it’s rare, or endangered.
    4
  668. So, China should also give back, Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, the nine dash line area, Vietnam’s islands? Stop harassing Taiwan, India, the other border countries. If we are all, playing nice.
    4
  669.  @jybrokenhearted For years, during two or more administrations. We don’t know what counter measures, were being taken or tested.
    4
  670. Make some noise.
    4
  671. At some point in time, a Chinese person, has been everywhere. It must be, traditional Chinese territory.
    4
  672. ZARA, my favourite clothing store. They use other country, sweat shops. 10% ethical, instead of 0% ethical.
    4
  673. Like the last president, and the current one. We can do better. We have to.
    4
  674. This brings a tear to the eye. Of all the bought dictators and politicians, around the world.
    4
  675. If no religious holidays, or celebration. What of, Tibetan’s, Uighur’s, Mongolian, falun-gong, Christian’s, etc?
    4
  676. On this topic. My Chinese born wife has a box full of antibiotics. “Take them till you feel better” Umm no!! She claims to be trained as a medical dr. It’s like using DDT, to clear the sea cucumber rearing ponds. No problem.
    4
  677. You are right, it is not supposed to be entertaining. But it is. Whenever I make a political comment, on USA topics. It is to encourage you guys to talk to each other again. The world needs, a strong coherent team player USA. Because China is doing everything it can, to mess up all the democratic nations.
    4
  678. None of them got, what Chris Christie was saying? (If we are going to say, we are pro life. We have to be, pro life.) (Nominate a crook, are we that stupid?) Instead of chucking poo, like a chimp. He actually said, real meaningful things. He sounds like a real person, with a real heart.

  679. Makes sense to me. You can’t have people freezing, or panicked, under real life, stress situations. It’s not about, being a zombie, it’s discipline.
    4
  680. Why does Mao always get a pass? Because it was his own people?
    4
  681. By default, we let the far right, and the far left, define the narrative. No it’s not good. To argue opinion, on social media. There is never the chance, for a proper in-depth debate, about issues. Both sides have their merits, and their failings.
    4
  682. And all the phones are made in China!!
    4
  683. A million bucks? No problem. I’m looking under the sofa, right now.
    4
  684. That sounds backwards to me. Taiwan hasn’t threatened anyone. It’s the CCP, that is the aggressor. As shown by their words and actions. They will only accept appeasement. As proven time and again. Talk only goes one way, with Beijing.
    4
  685. Taiwan is an awesome country. Don’t let your guard down. Beijing will say anything, to get one up on all of us.
    4
  686. Spread the word. Before we are off to education camp.
    4
  687. That’s only after, China showed its teeth.
    4
  688. Mat’s message, has to be taken seriously, by many of us. First.
    4
  689. Better than being sent to camp. Be a sheep.
    4
  690. Divided social camps, going into a possible depression? Social anarchy, and system wide breakdown. Let’s try our best, to mend fences. Before it happens.
    4
  691.  @davidli9457  Read up about Mao. Not the party version. Foreign investment, and the peoples hard work, boosted the economy. Chinese people are very entrepreneurial, and hard working, given the chance.
    4
  692.  @BEZY-vk1hy  Good for you, it's a great place. Hopefully we can go to Hong Kong, in the future. But it will probably never be the same again. Ukraine will get through this, with a heck of a lot of rebuilding. Hopefully, Russia doesn't implode. It doesn't have the political structure, to survive Putin.
    4
  693. At the top, in position’s of power/influence. But it would have to be universal. Look at what happened to Tibet.
    4
  694. Prevent this, in Taiwan. Support them too.
    4
  695.  @RussiaIsARiddle778 We have to be vigilant. There are many people who want to go back to those days. Standing behind their interpretation of the bible. Throwing insults, and moral judgment.
    4
  696. Such irony, that a billion isn’t enough. When from a long term environmental perspective, millions is too many.
    4
  697. Pipelines please. The gulf refiners, need the landlocked heavy oil, in Alberta.
    4
  698. Yes,,,but. Define renewable? Most of the components are made in China. Where the rare earth processing is extremely polluting. For power they are still building the worst of all. More coal fired plants at home, and in belt n road countries. All of our manufactured goods, require energy and resources. It’s only in degrees, nothing we do is “green”.
    4
  699. But then when he says something you don’t like? That’s good too? (I do agree about China) The more we can slow their colonialism, the better.
    4
  700. Sounds just like, Canada.
    4
  701.  @SigFigNewton  They are also leading the world, in new coal plants. That's the part, that the Chinese state media doesn't promote. They also do it everywhere they go, in other countries. While showing good face. It's called the cheapest fastest way, to market dominance.
    4
  702.  @rubberduckie5518  There are so few people, casting light, on this darkness. It’ll only get worse, if we don’t speak up.
    4
  703.  @bluehotdog2610  Discrimination is not ok. My Chinese relatives, are more racist, than anyone iv'e ever met.
    4
  704.  @Brad_A  That’s a tough call. We want to be fair, while at the same time. The CCP makes such an effort to influence other countries media, politics, military, business. You don’t know, who you are including.
    4
  705. I appreciate your coverage of China. My Chinese wife, and step son, only know, a few small areas, and what the ministry of truth, puts out.
    4
  706. My wife was from Beijing, 14 years ago. She wanted to get away from the politics. Yet, when my stepson, and I, told her of the different federal parties. She voted conservative, in the recent Canadian election. Because the Chinese wechat group said so. Has no patience for, the Hong Kong protests, or for people of colour. I’m frequently baffled, that she wants to be seen as Canadian, but says she can’t give up the “hive mind”.
    4
  707. Even if a food company is totally legit. You’re still dealing with polluted air water and soil.
    4
  708. Freedom, is to vote for who you think is best, for the country. Then for all to accept, the choice. With “constructive” criticism. Good for you, good for us.
    4
  709. Good luck, with your future. I’m older, so also feel responsible. The problem with these videos, is they just don’t get coverage. Talk to your politicians, business leaders, church, friends.
    4
  710.  @jogreen12  Hi Jo, Thailand, Bali, Vietnam, if you stay away from the "most popular" areas. In the more rural areas, the people are great. Taiwan is not over run with tourists. So what you experience, represents the place. The markets, temples, walking the streets, in and around Taipei is great. The islands in the Philippines, the villagers are poor, but very friendly. You can go on forever there, exploring beaches.
    4
  711. Some of them. Most of the inmates are female.

  712. The Brits, with the commonwealth. Probably figured, it was their fight. So chose, to do the heavy lifting.

  713. Carewolf sounds like a story there.

  714. The joke here is, god did make us this way.

  715. Please don’t ever say this. To genuine couples, who can’t have children.

  716. Boy's don't cry. They grow up, wounded. No excuse, to mistreat your loved ones, or anyone else. I sure want to tell Shannon, she is beautiful, and give her a hug.
    4
  717.  @plebius  Guess that's also why, Taiwan cables have been cut. It also works as intimidation.
    4
  718. I clicked on this, looking for some answers.
    4
  719. But it will be the biggest and best ever, screwup.

  720. What were they trying to do? Get him to drop the catch? Steal his glove?
    4
  721. Yes tragic, these young men are out there. Because of one man's ego. Now look at what Xi is doing. To even more people.
    4
  722. Up to a few millions, it’s a family business. Tens of millions, it’s a company, changing owners.
    4
  723. Wow, no comment on what’s happening in Hong Kong? Big bad changes there.
    4
  724. Love your BS detectors. The administration is suggesting lifting the Covid testing of travellers from China. News flash, in China they are no longer testing for Covid. But are having a massive “flu” outbreak. Also if you find Chinese culture to be crude. Visit Taiwan, the people are polite and grounded. It will restore your faith, in their potential.
    4
  725. For my 2c worth. The lax immigration policy has only brought in wealthy, or rich Chinese. The last 30 years, in Vancouver, all this money has kept an Inefficient system afloat. Running up the real estate market, but not doing anything for the productive economy. Many of these top end people, are strongly affiliated with the CCP. So we have increased our sovereign risk, as well.
    4
  726. Really bad times follow. If the ban the books crowd, gets into power. What will they go after next?? Read your history. Take a look at China, and Russia. They ban free speech.
    4
  727. And the coast of Africa fisheries?? No conservation, no fish for anybody.
    4
  728. This important, and natural part of our existence, is wrapped up in taboos. While our kids watch how many murders, and violence, in movies and tv.
    4
  729.  @Maito89  It sounds like, their minds are open. And their love for you, is from a place of what's best for you, not their world view.
    4
  730. If someone adores you. They are likely in love with, the imaginary version of you. They will be pissed, when it wears off. Go for real, and grounded.
    4
  731. Ladies? This should be for everyone. Growing up in the 60’s, onward. Hearing so much about, how bad men are. I’ve tried to make up for it, by never raising my voice.
    4
  732. Neringa from Latvia, makes good turbos. Don’t send your money to China. When that thing blows, it’s your whole engine gone.

  733. From the good old days, when abortion wasn’t legal. Caused some serious problems.

  734. In China, they like 28 yr olds. Agitators, in their prime.

  735. Chinese minorities, at the 2022 winter games.

  736.  @justinhunt6929  Thank you Justin. How about one more. I don’t know anything about your relationship dynamics. My ex wife is a great person in so many ways. But she had bowel surgeries as an infant. As a result she doesn’t trust touch. But doesn’t like to be alone. I was a preemie, because dad tried to get mom to miscarriage. Physical contact is my drug of choice. The advice bit, don’t jump into another relationship too fast. Nurture your self, and your family/friend relationships. I remarried someone who resembled my first. A quality capable person. Who has guilt and shame issues around her body, and expressing it. So again, there are some frustrations around this issue. It’s not nearly as bad, at least we can talk about it. Be yourself, engage with the world. There are many flawed, but wonderful people out there.
    4
  737. We need to be constantly reminded. That Reddit, TicTok, WeChat, etc. have direct ties, to the Chinese military. Meaning, they are not here, for our benefit. We need to be vigilant, and protect ourselves. This is more important, than being politically partisan.
    4
  738. It could be the Jiang faction, stirring up trouble. What’s left of the opposition, that hasn’t been jailed.
    3
  739. Xi’s plan has a few points, about respecting sovereignty, and borders. Imagine the relief, in Taipei. Not to live under constant threat, and coercion.
    3
  740. There is that. But the main reason is. There are billions of us, consuming the planet. Just your clothing, comes from a farm, or oil, then a dirty factory. All our agriculture, displaces the best natural places.
    3
  741. Until there is freedom for the people in the occupied territories. No one is free. Good luck.
    3
  742. If what you can say do and think. Is controlled, by widespread surveillance. And a social credit score. Be smart, look after yourself, don’t go.
    3
  743.  @Liboch  I get what you are saying. The threat is constant, and persistent. But the Taiwanese, seem to have learned to live with it. The CCP, does use bluster as a leading talking point. Having been recently to Taiwan, before HK, and China. With family in China. Taiwan culture, is amazing in contrast. The people are polite, and grounded. It is a high trust, and considerate society. Of course it isn't ideal, no place is. The Chinese and others there, did not experience the soul crushing Mao era, onward. My wife is visiting family in Beijing right now. She is meeting up with old school, college, and work friends. She is very disappointed, in what they re all interested in. Money, seems to be the only thing they care about. It's like they have lost their soul. Another thing about Taiwan, they keep a low profile. If you speak out, china has a hammer, cuts you off. I could not find any pro Taiwan T-shirts, no Taiwan for ever, Taiwan freedom, kind of things. Only saw the flag, on a few places. But , don't mistake that, for a lack of pride, and determination.
    3
  744. The joke is, that's an average house in Toronto.
    3
  745. Don’t forget Taiwan. Also very important.
    3
  746. Most of those places, you don't get close to ever voting.
    3
  747. So many people in the comments, are finding this too complicated, to understand. Really?
    3
  748. It is us. When I hear that buying an EV is good for the environment. It makes me go crazy.
    3
  749. Welcome friend.
    3
  750. Sounds like a quote, from Mao.
    3
  751. It's possible, that he knew that his job was redundant. But wasn't able to pivot, to something else, within the company? I was really hoping to hear. That he worked diligently, saved every penny. Retired early, and is now traveling the world.
    3
  752. I don’t earn a lot, but I’m worth a million. Paid $600 for my car, 5 years ago. Guys still an idiot.

  753. My wife was in Beijing visiting. She says that she woke up every day with a sore throat, and there is no blue sky. 🦨💩🍯
    3
  754. Important? They don’t care about their own, and they want to destroy the west!! They are building world wide surveillance capabilities, and lots of nukes. Polluting like crazy, and taking all the fish. No problem, let’s just keep buying Chinese junk. We need to smarten up fast, or it’s off to education camp.
    3
  755. Is the new dam, in occupied Tibet?
    3
  756. Are you talking about, the Wuhan. Flu?
    3
  757. Just an idea. If China can get the confidence, to model Taiwan. It can be a free open democratic prosperous nation. That everyone loves again. Free the occupied territories, and people’s. 🦨💩🍯
    3
  758. Why we still need to be world players.
    3
  759. “Asia”. That’s covering a lot of ground. Taiwan, Thailand, Tibet, Japan, China, etc, are each very very different.
    3
  760. Is it just scammers here?
    3
  761. Any comments on, how much land. China has recently taken from Bhutan.
    3
  762. That's why, the reporter was hiding, under a blanket. Surely, they were being watched.
    3
  763. Good point. Tho, general social views 80-100 yrs ago, were not very progressive.
    3
  764. Bet they walk away from the reparations. No respect for other people, or the land. Stand up, don’t let this happen, in the first place.
    3
  765. Ken Wells Hi Ken. There are very few places, where ancient rock is still in existence. Most of the tectonic plates are moving a couple of centimetres a year, towards subduction. Where the rock becomes molten, again. To come up as new rock, where there are volcanoes. Other young rock, is from erosion, layering, pressure, and time. For example, look at shale, and sandstone. Then there is old broken rock, mixed with newer rock, time, and pressure, gives marble etc. Sorry, I’ve forgotten the basic categories of rock. But if you read a bit on it. The geological world, becomes a fascinating place. To us all rocks seem old. Until you understand the basic process of it.
    3
  766.  @LoldemortII James must be talking about, the visitors. The more the Chinese visit Taiwan. The more they see a better way.
    3
  767. Hey brother. Whether the fasting works, or doesn’t work. Be proud of yourself, take the shirt off, and swim across the lake. Swimming in cold water, is excellent exercise. It’s about your health, not random strangers. The most perfect looking people, are so self obsessed, they don’t even see you.
    3
  768. Free Tibet, free East Turkestan.
    3
  769. Your map of China. Has the amazing country of Taiwan, included? Please edit. Taiwan is also a special place. Many of it’s people are directly descended, from traditional Chinese culture.
    3
  770. Lithuania is great. Standing up to the CCP.

  771.  @BassGal92 I’m pretty sure the federal government is looking to include it in our coverage.

  772.  @mexicounexplained  That's incredible, I'm sure the essential minerals, and vitamins help too. Thanks.
    3
  773.  @surpriserakins9067 Interesting observation. Is %18, high enough for you? I think it was 1996, the year of the Quebec separatist referendum. Our mortgage was up for renewal, two weeks before the vote. We split the terms, between 5 years, and 3 years. At %15, and %18. This was in Vancouver. The place with, chronically high real estate prices. When real estate goes against you. You are no longer swimming in a public pool, but out to sea.
    3
  774. Right, so there needs to be some protection.
    3
  775. The whole part about choosing to thrive, after horrendous trauma. Is so amazing. My wife is so scared to open herself, to joy, laughter, sex. It results in being sick, and unhappy. (Not fulfilled). The plastic wrapped couch. This talk is inspiring. ❤️ Love you all.
    3
  776.  @salva_75  Sharon was quite clear on her observations, and opinion at the end. I’m Canadian, with mainland, and expat Chinese relatives.

  777. So nice to see the Dalai Lama. How he can be so positive, is amazing. While in exile, and his people’s country, occupied.
    3
  778. It’s serious, China has been hoarding gold for decades. They will use it, as leverage over us. Buy whatever you can, tell your government to keep it here.

  779.  @scrumtrellecent  Good luck, with that!!
    3
  780. Does it actually need, to cost so much?
    3
  781. It always amazes me. How the British commonwealth, carried the war.
    3
  782. Less known, because it was a Royal Navy engagement.

  783. Why throw rocks, when you have boomerangs.
    3
  784. Maybe a blank screen would be better. People didn’t have, cameras in their pockets.
    3
  785. It’s a shame, the Americans had so little post war coverage. Canada built, 800,000 military transport vehicles. 50,000 tanks. 40,000 field, naval, anti aircraft guns. 1.7 million small arms. 16,000 aircraft. 348 merchant ships. Most of it went to allies, including the USA. The Canadian troops, were the most mechanized, in the war.
    3
  786.  @maskedavenger2578 We need to fix that vulnerability.
    3
  787. Communicate this desire, to the sellers of these products, and to your politicians. There is no benefit buying Chinese EV’s of solar panels. As long as they are aggressively increasing coal burning, and have horrible human rights policy.
    3
  788. But, will they stand behind, the Philippines and Taiwan.
    3
  789. Marine ecology? Let’s try, to not be the biggest polluter in the world.
    3
  790. Perhaps a good thing. If you restrict a people far enough. They may have a chance to see, what is being done to them.
    3
  791.  @tonysu8860  Children can see and speak truth. Instead of reflection, it scares some adults.
    3
  792. The Tibetan’s would love to freely practice their politics culture language and religion. Without interference, from an occupier.
    3
  793. Freedom for the occupied territories. Freedom of association, and religion. Focus on a healthy China, and international friendship. Instead of colonialism, and an expanding military. Be like Taiwan. The world will love you again.
    3
  794. Developing targeted ethnic bio weapons, is particularly nasty. But why not, if live organ donation is ok.
    3
  795. The scary part is. As the domestic issues mount. The chance of a kinetic war, to rally the population, increases.
    3
  796. It’s good to see. Russia knows, how trustworthy its friends are. The irony, if we have to rescue them, from the Chinese.
    3
  797. When the people get mad at the government. What is the tried and true remedy? Unify them with an enemy, and if need be, a kinetic war. (The unconventional kind, has been going on for a long time)
    3
  798. Where’s Peng Shuai? Where’s chained up peasant woman?
    3
  799. All this blustering, and military build up. The answer is really simple. If Beijing brings its military home, and focuses on its own domestic problems. Becomes a peaceful, personal rights respecting nation. It may get more of what it wants. The rest of the world, would stop feeling threatened. We could all, focus on more positive things.
    3
  800. Better late, than not at all. Now, liberate the South China Sea. Get rid of, Chinese surveillance.
    3
  801. Yes, culturally they are different. From the Americans, and the Chinese. The Taiwanese, are very grounded, spiritual and polite. Having been to China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. It seems part of their way of being, is turtle. In regards to dealing with a large bully. Don’t flag wave, and hopefully you get ignored. Out last them. When there I couldn’t find any pro Taiwan souvenirs, and only saw the flag a couple of times. Support them in whatever manner they need. It would be tragic, to have this traditional yet modern culture revolutioned.
    3
  802. They just want us, to send them money. They will have to appear, to be win win, to get the bigger fish.
    3
  803. Deflection.
    3
  804.  @jaydee6268 Two China policy doesn’t make sense. China is China. Taiwan is Taiwan. Even though it has Chinas opposition party. Tibet is Tibet. Even though its government is in exile.
    3
  805. How it was ever allowed, boggles my mind.
    3
  806. Being subject to an adult tantrum, is soul crushing. As a result, we avoid conflict with them. So they can triumphantly, do more shit. That becomes the norm.
    3
  807. It works, we are too scared, to stand up properly for Taiwan.
    3
  808. The Narcissist"s playbook. There's a catchy little rhyme, that goes with it?

  809. Well, isn't that convenient. Oooo look, they have large mineral resources!!

  812. My wife is visiting there now. She says it doesn’t feel good there any more. Like the iron curtain is lowering. 🦨💩🍯

  813. How do you count a continuous culture? If it keeps changing. Mao officially cut of the old culture in 1949. The Mongolians did it too, when they were “visiting”.
    3
  814. Africa, South America, South Pacific islands, Asia.

  815. Property bubble is too big. Too big. Too big. Too big. OhOh, inflate, inflate!!!

  816. Don’t become, an outspoken tennis star, or tech girl.

  817. How about, having occupied territories?
    3
  818. Canada should emulate, Britains considerate response.
    3
  819. The genocides are against “others”. State media says, they get preferential treatment. Like, were allowed more children.
    3
  820.  @zzbeasley  Yes, so much there. We don't have a problem, with the Chinese people themselves. It is an interesting place too. Just not safe, right now.  Make sure your political rep, understands the dangers.
    3
  821.  @zzbeasley  Iv'e been to China, not going back, anytime soon. I've been to HK, hope I can go back, some day. Just went to Taiwan, It's a gem, so clean, and the people are amazing. It's a high trust society, really cool. The CCP can never get off it's ego trip. But for all our sakes, I'm praying it can. Of course the west isn't perfect, but at least we can talk about it. Try to do better.
    3
  822. Both sides!! Is this a deflection?
    3
  823. Two of my wife’s Beijing girlfriends, died of lung cancer. Bet they aren’t in the stats, just like the official Covid numbers.

  824.  @zhanjas  Not for Huawei, the CCP.
    3
  825.  @zhanjas Short term optics, are more important.

  826. Flatter Trump, and take what you want. Taiwan is the hope for Asia. Protect it.
    3
  827. Because we let them. When one party deals in good faith, while the other takes advantage.
    3
  828. I’m sure Mr Kissinger, has been the most well meaning. While being played. My ex father in-law, may be the same. He is an old wealthy man. Who is extremely loyal, to anyone who praises him. Many, have taken full advantage, of this trait. Good old elite capture, is a CCP favourite.
    3
  829. Those holiday travel numbers, are compared to, last year, not pre W Flu. So, could be, much more dramatic.
    3
  830. The world..
    3
  831. Why do we buy products? From a country that strategically undercuts market after market. Till the competition is so crippled. That they then end up with a monopoly. Are we going to open our doors, to their EV’s?
    3
  832. An advanced culture, has a smooth transition of power.
    3
  833. We can still trade things. Just not important things.
    3
  834. Perfect for you. The thrift shops, will be full of these things. A buck each.
    3
  835.  @Blurb777 I’m sorry the monsters, spoil the reputation of the rest of us guys. My small circle of old friends, from childhood. Would have been a loving protecting partner, for anyone close to them. My two adopted kids, and stepson, come first in my life.
    3
  836. Their massive increase in coal consumption, may indicate something else. Like their green energy, may not be what they claim.
    3
  837. Sounds like, large parts of China, today.
    3
  838.  @potatoman8609  Let's just start with. No country, should have a territorial claim over another country. At present, China is laying claim to all it's neighbours. They have a new official map, that covers more area than the last one. Territorial aggression starts wars. Do we wan't wars? No!!
    3
  839. The Chinese Nationalists, went on to create an awesome democracy in Taiwan. So too bad, Mao had to kill millions. But in the no US scenario, Mandarin would only be spoken in basements, by old people.
    3
  840. Haha, I was just up on the roof, cleaning off moss, and washing the skylights. My wife asked if she could help. I said yes, we could spend some time together, go to bed early. Cause, there’s no way, she would go up a ladder. Didn’t happen. You know all the excuses.

  841. And then there was, Mao.

  842.  @Surstromming22  The main western media, don’t cover it. They should, though. For the safety of the whole world.
    3
  843.  @sosuapimp8449  He seemed self serving to me. Not interested in the greater good.
    3
  844. Now in modern times. It is still happening, in China.
    3
  845. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Help them figure out, how to build your product, for cheaper. So they can turn around and price you out if the market. Like with everything else. It doesn’t matter if it is poor quality. It only has to be noticeably cheaper.
    3
  846. As long as you encourage infighting. The job for the CCP, is easier. Talk to your neighbors, heal the divide.
    3
  847. With all that division. Hopefully China doesn’t gobble it up. You really don’t want to be an ethnic minority. In a Chinese occupied territory. Ask a Tibetan or Uighur.
    3
  848. That would be so cool, if all of Mongolia, was free again. Same with Tibet, and Xinjiang.
    3
  849. Widgets for dollars, is not a problem, for China. Those dollars have gone around the world, to buy assets. In Vancouver, 13 of the 14 apartment buildings I work in, are recent Chinese immigrant owned.
    3
  850. Harry’s rants are classic. He is right about demographics. But silent this time, about gold dropping to $900. David, you didn’t challenge him on this?
    3
  851. Oww, common prosperity, for migrant workers, vs party officials? Clean air? Two new brown coal power plants a week, last year. With 270 permitted for 2023-4.
    3
  852.  The Mythbuster  when it comes to spending, Biden is no different than all the previous administrations. There is no personal responsibility, at any government level.
    3
  853.  @Nolsie  My understanding of what janmaso said. Is, fossil fuel use went down %1, while population doubled. I’m saying %82, of x amount, of fossil fuel consumption. Is half of %81, of 2x . Very close to doubling, over all. (Not getting better).
    3
  854. The Taiwan long game, is through subversion, and elite capture. That’s how they are playing, the rest of us.
    3
  855.  @SeanShimamoto For a standard unit of measure. How many monopoly boards long is it.
    3
  856. If we didn’t trash, in the first place. The natural organics, could go on their way.
    3
  857. Hi, I lost my dad too soon, sadly to suicide. Yes I often think of the projects, we could have done together. But mostly, that he didn't get to be a grandpa. Do you have children? My adopted kids, are the best thing ever. I bought an old car, for my daughter. Fixed it up for her. Same with my son. Best thing, she has got me out hiking. This year, with her friends, we did an 11 day trip together. Now she want's to go, hot tent winter camping. I'm so proud, to be their dad.
    3
  858.  @Cheepchipsable I did that last year. Naked on the trail, near Quesnel. It was remote enough, and my psoriasis needs sun. Come around a corner, and there’s mom bear with two cubs. Never felt as vulnerable, since my wedding day.
    3
  859. This is way too important, to be playing games. China can learn, from the peaceful prosperous democratic nation of Taiwan. Then all these military resources, can be used for good things. Like getting rid of the mainlands coal power plants, cleaning the rivers. Giving the occupied territories freedom. An arms race, is bad for all of us.
    3
  860. It doesn’t seem to be getting around very well. The CCP, did the same thing to Inner Mongolia, and Tibet. Moving in Han, while suppressing the local culture.
    3
  861.  @PinoyAbnoy  civilization is a contradiction.
    3
  862. That would be a Dutch stereotype.
    3
  863. You may think Canada, has endless land. But we too, have built on the flood plains. Displacing, the best nature habitat.
    3
  864. After the recent history of the First World War. I can understand the reluctance, to escalate the situation. Not knowing how bad it was going to get, all over again.
    3
  865. It's happening today in Xinjiang, with the uighur peoples, on their own land. Cotton picking, sterilizations, and forced labour.
    3
  866.  @jimmiller5600  Trump? He is a lying sack of, _____. But, he was right about, calling out China.
    3
  867.  @KingCat3rax  The Chinese government.
    3
  868. The Chinese, are eager to take over.
    3
  869. You guys prove her point. You’re pointing at each other. Rather than reaching across the aisle.
    3
  870. My concern, is that we transact, and hold our wealth, in an electronic form. If China, or a solar flare, wipe all the computers…. Having most of my net worth, in the bank, or brokerage. Gives me the willies. One day soon, I won’t be able to work. Holding more than a little gold, and cash. They call you a criminal. (Don’t start on crypto, it’s an electronic ledger)
    3
  871. For the CCP, negotiating is not for mutual benefit. It is to tie down their opponent. Think fishing, border disputes, human rights, fentanyl, pollution, intellectual property, fair trade, legal protection.
    3
  872.  @hamzamalik9705  This is how China plays the game. It's people get the contracts, so the money never gets back to the borrower. Resulting in default, and a signing over of critical assets. A quiet, no shots fired, invasion.
    3
  873. Hey, it’s the CCP flu!! Be fair, we can say, Brazilian variant.
    3
  874. GDP, is a stupid measure. It measures all activity. Not, all “productive” activity. Same as the employment rate, without participation rate.
    3
  875. I’m starting to understand, the desire to get off this planet.
    3
  876. It can’t be fixed. If we don’t understand what is going on, behind it. For one, the expectation of easy answers, to complex problems.
    3
  877. We need nuclear now, for large scale, base load, low carbon power. (Nothing we make, is zero carbon)
    3
  878. Agreed, the other driver ran a red. So, don’t challenge them. You get to drive home.
    3
  879. Now the Chinese, are pushing the borders.
    3
  880. William Åkerlund Mr Trump mocks anyone, who doesn’t agree with him. That is not an adult, or Christian, way of being.
    3
  881. Is there any hope for the Cambodian people, to taking their country back?
    3
  882. To topic here, was. If we don’t act together, and fast. The Chinese fishing fleet, will cause famine for so many, around the world. Yes other countries are guilty of over fishing. They should be stoped too. But none are as bad as China. Just like, killing us all, with the massive coal burning.
    3
  883. Tibet, the spiritual guide.
    3
  884.  @piotrtrebisz6602  As long as we measure GDP, as activity. Rather than, productive activity. No problem, they can build it again, just like everything else. The environment, be dammed!!
    3
  885. Haven’t you heard? They outlawed poverty, last year.
    3
  886. Thank you, for your hard work. Your message is important. Your charming personality, is always a pleasure to watch.
    3
  887. How does that go again? Rise up, ye who don’t want to be slaves.
    3
  888. If you appreciate your religious freedom. Fight for the Falun Gong, Tibetan’s, Uighur’s, Mongolians, etc.
    3
  889. Any unrest, though warranted. Shortens the time, the CCP switches from unconventional war, to kinetic war. As Mao, and his new puppy, illustrate. The party, is more important than survival.
    3
  890. If China was able to be a peaceful kingdom. We would applaud their success.
    3
  891.  @jkc3738  There’s a few you tubers, getting the facts out. It needs to be more, before it’s too late.
    3
  892. I’m worried that, we may all reap, what the CCP have sown.
    3
  893.  @yejundoyun4513  You are right, it is a good country, with mostly good people. Same as anywhere. It’s those in power, that are giving the Chinese people, a bad name.
    3
  894.  @fod4250  I so hear you. It is lonely, loving someone. Who is your companion. But they can barely look you in the eye. Feel confined, if closer, than holding hands. Childhood trauma, can last a lifetime.
    3
  895. Intelligence charisma, and deep seated insecurity, are a dangerous combo. We need balanced caring role models, politicians. They are out there, if you make the effort to find them.
    3
  896. There’s no way, the car costs full price, if anything, for the network. This kind of promotion, is more positive, than a regular commercial.
    3
  897. It’s supposed to be. Broke into a house and found alcohol, or something, not guns. USA, you have serious issues. Get your house in order.
    3
  898. Why it happened, no doubt.
    3
  899. Please, don't hate on Chinese. The government of China, does a lot of bad things. Keep the issues, separate.
    3
  900. Never forget the fuss they made, about the Fukushima water release. While discharging far more themselves.
    3
  901. Can Tibet, ever be free again.
    3
  902. Despite T being a big strap on. He did challenge the nasty shit, the CCP is doing. The world needed that. So even if he was only in for himself. He may have given us a chance. To save our selves from being slave labour in a camp.
    3
  903.  @heinrichhimmler3781  Ok, if you invest there. You are supporting a regime, that is out to control the world. You don’t own, those shares. Have no legal recourse. The accounting is fictional. Sounds like, a great return on, your investment. All these collapsing property companies, don’t need to pay their foreign bonds!! If foreigners are gullible enough, to invest, or build a factory, in China. Good luck, being a nobody.
    3
  904. Thank you, for saying this so clearly. Haters are losers. That’s a tough one, to change.
    3
  905. Setting mines with drones!! What??
    3
  906. These things only come out. When the party wants to get rid of someone. Same as, a criminal organization.
    3
  907. As relations fracture, connection is necessary. Never forget that Taiwan is a free country, and Tibet is still occupied.
    3
  908. Thank you, I work with some Serbians in Canada. They insist, that they are the victims, and this never happened.
    3
  909.  @agalah408 Me too in Canada. Had to try hours later. Then it was full of adds. Stay vigilant, that’s our democracy, and free speech, they are messing with.
    3
  910.  @mikebennett938  it’s a lot more serious than just a war. The CCP say they want to build 1300 nukes. It could be everything on this planet.
    3
  911. Ginger Boss, for dear leader.
    3
  912. Problem is, not enough people are seeing this. Or, get to witness the whole story line.
    3
  913. Where’s Peng Shuai? She is/was a hero too.
    3
  914. Peng Shuai, Banner Man, Sexy Cyborg.
    3
  915. Irradiated steel?? Wtf
    3
  916.  @squiremc  Haha, you’re out in the desert, I’m running up the mountain naked in the snow.
    3
  917. With elite capture, the belt and road countries. Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, etc.
    3
  918. We don’t hear, about that.
    3
  919. China-Russia friendship forever. While redrawing maps, and lining up troops at the border.
    3
  920. The four olds, and 75 years of humiliation.
    3
  921. Anyone see, Peng Shuai, lately? Bet she has #1 happy organs, for dear leaders.
    3
  922. Hi guy's. Amongst all the multitude of underhanded things the CCP gets up to. Iv'e noticed in Canada. That some of my Chinese acquaintances, go to Tibetan churches. The Tibetan diaspora, is spread pretty thin, and has few resources. I'm guessing, these churches, are not run by the Tibetan people. But are a-part of the overall influence operations, of China. If anyone has a question about Tibet, and it's people. The obvious place to go to ask, would be the church. Hand in hand with the offshore police. The truth, can stay under a boot.   Does anyone, know more about his?
    3
  923. Having a poo.
    3
  924. What was all that outflow, around 2016?
    3
  925. Imagine the pressure, they must be under, to keep quiet? Threats of harm, to friends, and family. Or just money. Remember, all your accounts, are electronic.
    3
  926. Joe Rogan, read out the terms of service, for TikTok. It's really bad. You agree, that they have access to all your computers, including your households.
    3
  927. The first line of their anthem, is now censored.
    3
  928.  @IiiiIiiIllIl Wise choice, I’m married to a Beijing born woman. There is a lot of post Mao trauma, insecurity, self hate. The people it Taiwan, are lovely.
    3
  929. Not yet, not yet, you are on traditional Chinese territory.
    3
  930. And they’re bosses, want to take over the world. 🍯
    3
  931. If we let them influence all the algorithms. They will be.
    3
  932. Wait, I thought most new disease strains, come from China?
    3
  933. Thank you, for all that you do. Most people, have no idea, the peril.
    3
  934. Of course, sensitive material would be out for display. If there were an open house.
    3
  935. Interesting, I’ve had to explain that concept, to Chinese people.
    3
  936. The projection, of how Canada treated the native people in the past, is so outdated. Today native bands, get huge amounts of government money, for special projects, self governance. They often don’t pay taxes. Can develop land, ignoring municipal bylaws. It was bad, yes. We are forever making amends. If you mention what is going on in Tibet, Inner Mongolia, or Xinjiang. Or to religious groups. The finger pointing comes out. We are way past that.
    3
  937. Hopefully he doesn’t get to Mao level.
    3
  938. I don’t like the guy either. He loves to blame. But, I’ve had enough of going easy on China. And a trust fund child, running our finances.
    3
  939.  @kingket4  Most people buy clothing, to look new, and affluent, not out of need. Quality clothing lasts decades. It’s as bad as e-waste, made of oil, in factories. Or from agriculture, displacing nature.
    3
  940. I did a bad thing? No, I’m Christian. The devil did it!!
    3
  941.  @gabriellafox7948  Hi Gabriella. My life is mostly good, for its own reasons. As much as I worry about my friend. The rest of my time is mostly up to me. How I interpret, and deal with it. It sounds like your family, is not a source of positive energy. Have you tried to join any activity-interest groups? Where you get outside for hikes, or? A change of “normal”, to get out of a funk? Taking a course, just to switch focus? Getting out of a dark mindset, takes courage. I hope you can. We are all close to the edge.
    3
  942. My thought too, that an impact like that. Would crush her skull, and break her neck. But, you can have thick ice. That is layers of solid, and rotten mush ice. It must have been sketchy ice, for her body, to go through too.
    3
  943. When did it become normal, to finance disposables? That’s when it all started.
    3
  944. So wait!! The bubonic plague, came from where??? The gift to the world, that keeps on giving.
    3
  945.  @gerardinecizmar  The well off, that I know. Are very careful about spending. Putting a trip, on the card. Is how the poor spend. Except of course, to get points, and pay every balance in full.
    3
  946. Man, I hope you are ok. My dad killed himself, when mom left. It was just the two of us at home. And for really bad luck, it was also, on my sisters birthday. It does weird shit to you. I married someone who is angry, to try to heal that wounded person. Twice. Youthful idealism. Then pattern. Sis can’t hold a relationship. Funny thing, life is still good.
    3
  947. Interesting that Andy would remove suicide, from shooting stats. The suicide, and the shootings, are both easier. When a killing device, whatever it is, is within reach.
    3
  948. “It’s so deadly” good sales pitch. Think, Chinese chemical warfare.
    3
  949. Jay inri When they are your bosses, you are £€%#ed. Same in Canada.
    3
  950. Scary as fuck, run forest run.
    3
  951. Essential viewing for all of us. Time, for the west, to wake up.
    3
  952. Go CCP Go, Blame something imported.
    3
  953. Brown. But, good joke.
    3
  954. The peace plan includes respecting sovereignty, and borders. Can you imagine the relief in Taiwan!! Maybe even, in Tibet, and Xinjiang.
    3
  955.  @QianyiLi-bi7jl The four olds, and 75 years of humiliation.
    3
  956. Wow, thank you, for your efforts. I don’t want my kids, in a re-education camp one day.
    3
  957. Get an audience, with your media??
    3
  958. You do fantastic work. Everyone, should see these.
    3
  959. If anyone knows how to help. Step up. A lawsuit, would distract from their important work.
    3
  960. Did you say SARS, started in your town!!! Bad boy.
    3
  961.  @ct4074  Focus more, on the business, sports, political community. They are selling us, for access to the China market.
    3
  962. Don't you want to support, their expanding military?
    3
  963. My Chinese wife says, why all the hate China. But last time she went back. She complained that the people all seem to be empty spiritually. They only talk about money, or food. I say, that’s why they need to be freed. (We loved Taiwan, Hong Kong too). She says it’s politics, nothing you can do.
    3
  964. When you’re 1 in a billion, or two. That is a serious, too many people problem.
    3
  965. Define developed. In the west we are maximizing complexity, at the cost of resilience, and long term ecological health.
    3
  966. She said, I don’t see a future in this guy. He just looks like a player.
    3
  967. Are you watching, Taiwan? Deterrence, is cheaper.
    3
  968. We can all appreciate this man’s wisdom, and good will. So how did we end up with the opposite, in a president?
    3
  969. We can all appreciate this man’s wisdom, and good will. He gets that poor people, are good people. That young men, should be taught how to be good husbands and fathers. Spend time with your kids, and wife. The most important job’s you will ever have. So how did we end up with the opposite, in a president?
    3
  970. Advice that I’ve given, with good results. But not taken, myself. Is to join groups or clubs, that do those outdoor activities, that you enjoy. You may meet good people, men and women. Taking the pressure off, searching.
    3
  971. Hopefully she became an advocate, therapist, or helper herself. With what she has gone through, to still have a heart of gold. She possesses, true spirituality.
    3
  972. Lacrosse and rugby, sounds like Canada.
    3
  973.  @connshawnery6489  It's funny, how these things can turn around. Mom is gone. Now i find myself, looking after, the old guy. He is no longer the angry old war vet. But a charming, befuddled, helpless, old man, at the end of the road.
    3
  974. If China wanted to, they could have environmental laws too. But putting any competition out of business, is more important. When you want to control an industry, and through it, others. If they cared, they wouldn’t be building so many coal power plants, either.
    3
  975. Taiwan, study the Finns. (Except for the snow bit).
    3
  976. Ok, but do we ever get to freedom for East Turkestan, and Tibet?
    3
  977. Wow, so scammy.
    3
  978. But Christie has a brain, and a conscience. That should still count for something? No?
    3
  979.  @kth6736  The point about Chile, was. If they process it themselves, they benefit from it's increased value. Much better than someone grabbing your resources, and leaving you with an environmental disaster, as payment.
    3
  980. The Chinese are not only building more coal plants at home, but around the world. Why isn’t it a huge story?? Like all the other crap they are doing.
    3
  981. The four olds. It was policy.
    3
  982. We are visiting Thailand, right now. I’m agnostic as far as religion goes. It seems like, intellectual suicide. But here in Thailand, the Buddhist faith, has made for a very polite, and considerate people. It’s a positive influence.
    3
  983. Do they think they have been let down. Or do they buy into the greatness of the government? My Chinese wife, and step son, will not tolerate any criticism of the CCP.
    3
  984. Taiwan, stay awesome.
    3
  985.  @snakes3425  Now it’s China. The people are told, they are victim’s of the west. They worship Mao, the greatest mass murderer, of all time.
    3
  986. My very elderly step-dad. Was on a Canadian mine sweeper, ahead of the US D-day invasion. As usual, he didn’t want to talk of the war. But he did say, the yanks, threatened to blow them out of the water. If the job wasn’t done on time. I think he was enlisted, from 39 on.
    3
  987.  @blackinpublic4193  Now, China is doing it, to Africa.
    3
  988. My elderly step dad’s Canadian mine sweeper. Was working the shores, if front of the US D Day landings. He said, if it wasn’t done on time. They would get blown out of the water.
    3
  989. Ask how China monopolized the processing of rare earths and other metals? By polluting. Closed loop processing is far more expensive. We have to pay more, to make these things at home.
    3
  990. Fantastic interview, thank you. Keep up the good work.
    3
  991.  @Mexicanita1904  A real man, he was. My unconditional love, was from my grandmother. Mom was busy, with our tormented dad. It is so important, for grounding a young man. No matter how difficult, or challenging life can be. You rise to it, do the best you can, protect family and friends. While returning the core love, to everyone. To love yourself. I'm in my 60's, twice have married women, 25 yrs, and current. That love me, but are afraid to open themselves. They both are scared to reveal, their feminine passionate desire.  I married, to rescue my mom. Driven by, a foolish naive optimism. That I can heal, someone else's broken trust/heart.  All the best, love you.
    3
  992.  @Mexicanita1904 I’m sorry for your loss, of a beautiful man.

  993. Kerry, that’s great to hear. ❤️
    3
  994. At least you have a free press!! Sorry, bad joke.
    3
  995. The affect we have, on the children, in our families.
    3
  996. Now that is dry humour. Coke, is a wholesome company!!!
    3
  997. If you are concerned. Try to get rid of these Chinese platforms. That collect data, and sow discontent.
    3
  998.  @dppattison4721  The Chinese war planes, repeatedly flying into Taiwans airspace. Or the Chinese navy, circling the islands. Is not harassment?
    3
  999.  @GoldenFrizbee That is the point.

  1000.  @rathertiredofthemess2841 A citizenship test, to vote. To ensure a minimum level of comprehension.

  1001. Thomas Zhang Ravens may be a “symbol” of death, to some people. Modern people, “are death”, to all the living things.

  1002. If an independent country, by declaring independence. Creates instability in the region. Who is the aggressor? Interesting, that you don’t say it! It’s very clear.
    3
  1003.  @Milzan30 Why we need immigrant workers, they have always been hungry enough to do the work.
    3
  1004. That’s why the yanks, were called, Johnny come lately.

  1005. We need to listen to people like you, who have lived it. Who made it out. Not to politicians, or the general public.
    3
  1006. Good thing, Canada is a near tropical country. In the winter. Half of us are down there.

  1007. Keep up the work. While it’s still a free country.

  1008. Book burning, then you have Kristallnacht, then you have…. We now have, the CCP. Enough already.

  1009. Prevention, prevention, prevention. Keep Taiwan safe, support them too.

  1010. Your show is great. But, this was free advertising.
    3
  1011. When we know it’s coming. There’s no excuse, for being out there, unprepared. Getting in the way, of everyone else.
    3
  1012. Canada ranks quite high, i think #7. It is probably the most diverse country in the world.
    3
  1013. The world would love to see, a peaceful China. It’s own people don’t know, what the CCP is really doing.
    3
  1014. He took it to, South Africa?
    3
  1015. Check the happiness index for Taiwan. The best in Asia. It’s a great place. Despite the existential threat, of being wiped out.
    3
  1016. Prevent this in Taiwan.
    3
  1017. Thank you for mentioning Taiwan. It’s at 26, China is at 72, Hong Kong has dropped to 81. Think about that. As we let China influence us through social media apps. Not just TikTok. Taiwan would have a higher score. If it wasn’t under the constant threat of invasion.
    3
  1018. Scammer alert….

  1019. Perhaps no intent. But there is responsibility. If I have the problem of blacking out, doing things, when intoxicated. Then it’s up to me, to not get so loaded, or to abstain. That’s on me, not someone else.
    3
  1020. Now if we buy Chinese EV’s, solar panels, etc. We encourage, child mining of Cobalt, and increased dirty coal burning.
    3
  1021. A lot of people disappear in China. Not finger pointing. But they shouldn’t get, a free pass. Political and religious objector, organ donor’s.
    3
  1022. We can start, by cutting shipping subsidies, for Chinese products. It kills small business at home. While financing, their military build up.
    3
  1023. A reminder, when you were thinking of other countries that have the D penalty. Please, don’t ever forget, how horrible China is. Their legal system is purely political. Against anyone, speaking out against the party, is a minority, follows religion, and other controlling reasons. Remember the white paper movement. Those people just quietly disappear. They use live organ donors, for profit. Remember these things, when thinking to buy their products. Massive pollution, human rights, military build up.

  1024. Mao, must be a god. He did some very serious killing. Yet is revered, by his victims.
    3
  1025. Slop? perhaps the mess hall?
    3
  1026. My wife is scared to express her desire, or even participate in sex. It comes out in anger frustration and biting. But because she doesn’t want to talk about it. I’m stuck.
    3
  1027. @molls9006 It is your life, to live. Of course be thoughtful, and respect other peoples views. Your mom, may be speaking from her mistakes, regrets. We all make mistakes. As long as we can learn, from theirs, and our own. We are doing well. Please don't live your life, according to what people with an agenda tell you. Take advice from those, who genuinely care for your well being. Who actually listen to you, not their social, religious beliefs first. Marriage/long term relationship is not easy. As long as you both understand, that you both have to put into the marriage, and yourselves. Be the best you can be. To get long term respect from each other. It's how, you get through the rough times. I wish you well.
    3
  1028. Good for you. It sounds like, you have made the best, of what you got. It's up to us, to be better people.
    3
  1029. If you laughed, that’s a good sign.
    3
  1030. Or the opposite, reaction. I’ve been married 25 years, and now 10 years. Both times to people, who had early life trauma around abandonment, and their bodies. “Safe sex is no sex, and I don’t want to talk about it”
    3
  1031. Mansplaining, is describing a style of reaction, it's not gender specific. Time for a name change.
    3
  1032. Small communities are self financed. Municipal resources are hard to come by.
    3
  1033. The only patch of green grass, and what do you get?
    3
  1034. Mmmm, corporate lobbyists, and lawyers. Go team.
    3
  1035. It’s already started, CCP virus.
    3
  1036.  @2whl4re No thanks, but I’d still like to know.
    3
  1037.  @justinhunt6929  If this was in person, I’d share a hug, and buy you lunch. At 41, you’re a baby, 80-90yr olds need loving. It’s been nice meeting you.
    3
  1038. Sorry for your loss. I went through this, after 25 years of marriage. Feel the pain, don’t try to bury it. As dismissive as this sounds. If you can appreciate, that we all have our pains, and challenges. It won’t feel like it, for a while. But take this as a chance to embrace life.
    3
  1039.  @damiantoth8577  Other western countries, provide healthcare to all. For half the cost. Why not look into other ways, of providing it? I never said, government run. Just, for the people focused, not insurance corporations and lawyers only. It isn't working, the way it is.
    3
  1040. That’s why big business, is still running healthcare, and everything else.
    3
  1041. As long as they are human. They will fall into the same trap, of self interest.
    3
  1042. My fear about the endemic corruption in China. Is about a reactor melting down. Setting back the industry, all over again. Even without that, it isn’t reported in any media. How much they are increasing their coal burning.
    3
  1043. You the people, the everyman. Bring back the USA we used to know. A strong honest fair benevolent but tough love, world leader. If you push the world away. China, and the axis of “evil” will try to eat all of us.
    2
  1044. A fellow Canadian here. Last summer my wife and I met up in Montreal, for a romantic getaway. We absolutely loved Quebec, and its people. We Canadians, have been sleeping for a long time. Trade with the USA is so easy. Being smothered by their commercial culture, has diminished us. Time to wake up, and run the rapids.
    2
  1045. How the heck, do you target something, 30 kilometres away?
    2
  1046.  @AravindKumar-nf2uu  Ask a Tibetan, or Uighur, if they are enjoying the occupation.
    2
  1047. Here we go. He is a victim, for being as ass.
    2
  1048. Xi.
    2
  1049. Let’s not forget, that China is in our media. Stirring as much decent, as they can.
    2
  1050. They don’t want to become organ donors.
    2
  1051.  @doctorno3912  It’s called deflection.
    2
  1052.  @anndelacruz1986  Butterflies, is one thing. But if you are worried about a controlling partner. Who doesn't respect your views now. When you would expect them to be on good behaviour. You know it will be impossible to leave, once you have a beautiful baby.  I'm particularly sensitive to this kind of dynamic. My father was a handsome, charming, smart, well loved man, in his community. But at home, he was crazy jealous, and controlling of my mom. In an affluent western country, that was her home. She still found it impossible to leave. What ever you decide. Don't ever, let yourself become someones possession. Mutual respect, or nothing. You sound like a genuine person. Keep your inner light shining.
    2
  1053.  @thomasaquinas157  Or of the extent of the shutdowns, or their own history. The occupied territories!!
    2
  1054. Just for fun, think about this. The regime, has a clear history, of how they view women, and they're fertility. It won't be your choice.
    2
  1055.  @neepers  Not to mention, that the party has completely, rewritten there history.
    2
  1056. The countries of the South China Sea, and Taiwan, need security guarantees too. If we want world peace.
    2
  1057. How many suicide’s?
    2
  1058. Taiwan, to Xi.
    2
  1059. Even more serious, is Mao 2.0. Protect the South China Sea countries, and Taiwan.
    2
  1060. There is a huge gap, between bias, and absolute control.
    2
  1061.  @mattrogers5188  Hey, but the top %.1, looted the store. That’s good, right??
    2
  1062. George Carlin’s canon, for president. No BS. Either side.
    2
  1063. Don’t forget, the independent country of Taiwan.
    2
  1064. While we are all watching Ukraine/Russia. China just cut both internet cables, to one of Taiwan’s islands. Hello, news, hello??
    2
  1065. Don’t let the extremes, control the narrative. Heal the country.
    2
  1066. Or just poo.
    2
  1067. So, how do the people of Iran, change their government? If they can’t vote. It was good of the interviewer, to mention, the camps in China. We should never forget. When we buy things, what we are supporting.
    2
  1068. The trolls, are out in force. Speaking freely, in our media?
    2
  1069. If it’s a government job. We still need to know, how far the taxpayer can go. To actually pay for those salaries, and benefits.
    2
  1070. I’m not ready for education camp, or to be a surprise organ donor.
    2
  1071. We have been so slow, to call them on a lot of things.
    2
  1072. I give you, all this silliness. You don’t get it!! Stupid people, you like to suffer, and grovel. Ok, try this, here’s Monty Python.
    2
  1073. Put the pressure on China. They are still building more coal powered plants. At home, and abroad.
    2
  1074.  @markedis5902 Think about it. We made an extremely complex perfect world, into where it’s going. With the technology that we have. Now we are going to make a planet scale, uninhabitable world, into another paradise.
    2
  1075. The allies, helped the USSR, and China so much. If only their people knew, we could be much better friends.
    2
  1076. Russia and China. Say to much, you go on long holiday.
    2
  1077.  @ursulasmith6402  Ursula, you’re crazy!! Healthcare, is for big business, insurance companies, and lawyers. It’s their job, to get as much as they can. Before bankrupting the country.
    2
  1078. It is scary. To paraphrase Mr Trump. “I could go out on the street, and shoot someone. My followers would still support me” The left, and the right, need to talk. Otherwise, the CCP is going to eat us all.
    2
  1079. The kind of community that I idealize. Is the hunter gatherer tribe. Where you are one part of the whole. In our modern cities and religions, we are almost nothing at all. I work in apartment buildings. People die alone, in their little boxes.
    2
  1080. Whatever the context. Getting shot, is never friendly fire.
    2
  1081. Just get rid of it. It’s a tool of CCP propaganda, and subversion. China doesn’t allow, outside influences.
    2
  1082. He had a chance to get big bloated business out of healthcare, prisons, the military. They need to become competitive, or at least take out the middle men. All these big institutions, are bankrupting the country. If this new plan was run by the same bunch. It would be a cash cow too.
    2
  1083. The United States Of_________, is in the continent of North America. Along with two other countries.  @googlesucks7840 
    2
  1084. Even better. Imagine what a great country, the USA, could have been!! Eh!!
    2
  1085. That’s what I’m wondering, is it worth seeing?
    2
  1086.  @siskristie2113  You totally missed, Largelats point. If credit is to be unfairly taken, from the biker, and given to one of the gods. Equal credit must be given, to the same god. For all the bad things that happen.
    2
  1087. Ester Mays. Being owned, and sold, by a pimp, is a bad life. Could be why she was afraid.
    2
  1088. I had a girl friend, who didn’t want me to be with my friends, or even my children. And then of course, she was so much fun to go out with. Man, I was spinning on a string.
    2
  1089.  @SaviorGabriel  Ouch, the last two presidents.
    2
  1090. If god cared about humans. Why would he/she let there be so many of us. More than enough, to destroy this beautiful planet.
    2
  1091. China can win the admiration of the world. By giving Tibet, back to the Tibetan’s. Or they can create, more conflict.
    2
  1092. We still rely upon them to produce, nearly all of our products. This will be very difficult to untangle, but we must be unified in our resolve.
    2
  1093. What globalization looks like? When I went to elementary school, there was a family from Korea. They were cool, because they were different. When my son went to kindergarten at the same school. He was the only not Chinese kid. We moved him the next day, to a school with a mix of kids. West side, Vancouver Canada.
    2
  1094. Not, three lanes each way?
    2
  1095. This is the end of us. As they wreck the fisheries, we all will suffer.
    2
  1096. Africa too, is being plundered. There must be a way for the world to stand up together, against this serious problem.
    2
  1097. One China, stay one China. Stop bullying everyone. 🦨💩🍯
    2
  1098. There would still be Chinese occupation, of Philippine territory.
    2
  1099. When you treat love and marriage as a commodity. You are in a culture, that has lost its heart, and soul.
    2
  1100. Whether pre Mao China was more civilized, or just warring fiefdoms. Your view of a possible future for China, is superior. Like the example of Taiwan.
    2
  1101. If you really want to see how good they are for the environment. Look into the pollution, from rare earth processing in China.
    2
  1102. While China is bullying with jets, what are their subs doing? Watch the hand, that you can’t see.
    2
  1103. Do any Chinese people know? That their nuclear plants, release far more radioactive waste water, than Japan.
    2
  1104. A Chinese company, just bought a British chip maker. Are we still this naive.
    2
  1105. Time to give Tibet back, to its people.
    2
  1106. If only they knew of the horrors taking place, in the occupied territories.
    2
  1107.  @PazLeBon  My mistake. I’m so used to. The, “inflation bad, hand out MORE checks” crowd. We’ve been building up to this moment, for 50 years.
    2
  1108.  @PazLeBon  They borrow, to invest in productive assets. Things that will generate income, greater than the cost of borrowing.
    2
  1109. This is why, % of the economy, is more important, than the actual numbers. You can’t grow your way out of debt, by spending more, unproductively.
    2
  1110. Civilized miners, don’t hydraulic, the whole area into the river. A Chinese operation?
    2
  1111. Their dogs, not our dogs. 🍯
    2
  1112. We may have a much better world. If there weren’t, insecure driven people. If it meant, no dictators, and wars, wow!!!
    2
  1113. My stepdad, was on a Canadian minesweeper. They cleared on the beaches, ahead of the US landings. He said the instructions from the American’s were. If it’s not cleared by Xhr, we will blow you out of the water. Also, weren’t the Canadian’s instrumental in taking Caen? Where most of Normandies, mobile armour was.
    2
  1114. Serious deterrence, is the only way to avoid war with China. Otherwise, they just keep pushing everyone’s boundaries.
    2
  1115. Thank you for keeping this story alive. Please do not buy Chinese products, or propaganda. Free the people. Before it’s all of us.
    2
  1116.  @jackedwards7420  Thanks Jack, Finding good condition vintage parts, can be like waiting for the messiah. If you don't want to pay the scalpers. Great bike, happy trails.
    2
  1117. Isn’t their good friend China, just waiting for maximum weakness.
    2
  1118. We so need, trusted people like you. Thank you. If the election doesn’t go their way. Are there groups ready and willing, to storm various legislatures, and government buildings? It seems to me, the only way to guard those places. Is with a wall of unarmed ordinary citizens. Using anything that looks military. Would just prove their point. (That the government was stolen, by the people). In their minds.
    2
  1119.  @todaywefly4370  It's hard to do, that's for sure. Keep fighting it, our money comes back as propaganda, and warships.
    2
  1120. When a country builds up it’s military, and threatens its neighbours. What do you do, to live in peace? Calmly cary a bigger stick? Ignore it?
    2
  1121. Please remember, that the Chinese government is responsible, for what has happened to its people. Famine, purges, surveillance, removal of tradition, tragically harms a people.
    2
  1122. We have a Malaria epidemic?
    2
  1123. China is doing this, in the South China Sea, and threatens Taiwan. Please prevent, any more of this.
    2
  1124. Do you support China militarizing your atolls? Claiming the west Philippine sea, as theirs?
    2
  1125. The fishing ban, is only to keep control, and others out. Do you think the ban applies, to Chinese fishermen?
    2
  1126.  @vlhc4642  Yes, I follow people who have spent lots of time in China. And care for the best, for the people, and the world. Not TV. I’m married to someone born and raised in China. So there is lots of communication with mainland people. Perhaps you have a vested interest, in the current regime. That’s ok for you. But it might not be best over all. All we can do is try to make a better world, for everyone.
    2
  1127. I have no reason to hate you. But I do hope, there is respect, for other faiths, and cultures.
    2
  1128.  @MeiinUK  The phone call I received. Was right after my posting, on YouTube. In English it said, “Chinese consulate” then continued in Mandarin. I hung up. Spies? They are proud to steal western technology. While disrupting our institutions, and political systems. Do you think there are spies?
    2
  1129. Hopefully, never another Tiananmen square. Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves.
    2
  1130. A quick response, rather than a photo op.
    2
  1131. Stupid, big ego men. If he stops being a bully, himself. The world would be happy, to embrace China.
    2
  1132.  House Rules  If it wasn't for the allies, taking down Japan, in WW2. Mandarin, would only be spoken, in basements by old people. Never ever, a thank you. That would be losing face.
    2
  1133. He is mad, because Chinese honey, is fake.
    2
  1134. Some of the Chinese people, lifted themselves out of poverty, by being allowed to work. After Mao, tried to starve everyone, they opened up. Most are still poor. Success!! The real China, is Taiwan. They didn't destroy the old artifacts, culture, have free speech, democracy, personal safety. (You don't see metal cages, around windows). Taiwan's per capita GDP, is higher than in any mainland city, or district. So of course, Taiwan is a threat, and must be destroyed. Is China being a threat to the rest of the world, a good thing??
    2
  1135.  @shangao4859  We did. The west was happy to see, China open up. And become a member of the world. Much better than the old Mao days, of him killing his own people, on a grand scale. China still has developing nation status, it still gets aid, from the west. We allowed them to join international bodies, on promises, not real change. We did change our tone. Now we are pulling away, from a bad actor.
    2
  1136. Power, and a victim mentality, is terribly dangerous. Sheer madness, something bad happened in the past, so anything is now justified? We all have past injustices, grow up, be a positive member of the world. Context, who did the worst, to the Chinese people, Mao. Cleaning house, is not allowed, so enemies are needed. Do the Chinese people deserve, a paranoid, surveillance state?
    2
  1137.  @stevec6427  Deflect deflect deflect. China developed in the modern era. They knew better, than to go cheap and nasty. But did anyway. Good luck, all of us. Take a look at their fishing fleet. If you really want a scare.
    2
  1138.  @jaywhoisit4863  Controlling all information. Mass surveillance. A social credit score, is a good start.
    2
  1139.  @melodymacken9788  Thank you, the CCP has rewritten all of Chinas history. To reflect on them, as all knowing, and all powerful.
    2
  1140. Does any of this explain? Why my Chinese born wife, doesn’t like her body, and thinks sex is dirty.
    2
  1141. Wow, we just saw these, on Koh Adang, Thailand.
    2
  1142. Lucky for you, the new president, will get rid of all food safety testing. It gets in the way of corporate profits.
    2
  1143. We do know, that the massive Chinese fishing fleet. Is also called the maritime militia. Take a look at that, please. The double hulled gun boats, in other smaller countries waters.
    2
  1144.  @MeowMeowGril  Just from a logic perspective. China has a small, generally polluted coastline. Yet it has the largest fishing fleet in the world. The guy's who turn off their location transponders, when approaching other countries boundaries. The Galapagos islands, have been in the news on this. Others not so, because local officials are bribed.
    2
  1145.  @MeowMeowGril  No no, the ones that intimidate and ram other fishing boats. They scare away anyone who challenges them. When they are in the waters of small countries. Like in Africa, or South America.
    2
  1146. Hopefully Taiwan is learning from this 🍯
    2
  1147. Putin, is leaving the back door wide open. China is watching, and waiting.
    2
  1148. What does a trip like that cost? (I know, if you have to ask) But going as a family, looks fantastic.
    2
  1149. Is this an add, for carpet cleaners?
    2
  1150. Grace to the Mongolians, that they would still help, the Chinese.
    2
  1151. Pray, Tibet will be free again. 🦨💩🍯
    2
  1152. It’s imperialist China, that we need to worry about.
    2
  1153. But, will Tibet ever be free again?
    2
  1154.  @anyone1200  Inconveniently for you. Until the invasion of the Chinese. Tibet had its own people, culture, and religion. If it was Chinese, it would just be Chinese. Official Chinese history after 1949, was re-written by the CCP.  Remember the four olds? You need to go to independent sources, for any Chinese history. Good luck, with your search.
    2
  1155. Can we work on freeing Tibet?
    2
  1156. And China? Didn’t they send arms to Venezuela?
    2
  1157. One of his most important moves, was getting rid of CCP influence.
    2
  1158. Don’t forget, solar panels are made in Xinjiang. So not, humanely sustainable.
    2
  1159. There is a group of islands, that Vietnam is missing. With more, threatened.  Team up, with your neighbours.
    2
  1160.  @CommonSenses101  Russia, and China, helped N Korea. That's why, it's such a great place now.
    2
  1161. Russia supplied a lot of arms, and men, to the Vietnam war. You didn’t mention that China, is also big, into the Philippine waters too.
    2
  1162. You should check out, what’s happening in the Solomon Islands. The Chinese throw some bribes around, turn some politicians, and it’s game over.
    2
  1163. To risk a billion dollars, in a country, that could take it away, on a whim. Is all this gold, why China is getting cozy with Indonesia?
    2
  1164.  @kaijuslayer3334  If they were peaceful, they’d be gone, a long time ago. Good for them. Tibetans are peaceful, Uighur’s are peaceful, what happened there?
    2
  1165. Are roasted pumpkin seeds, still ok?
    2
  1166. Glad, to still have my alcohol. Joking!!
    2
  1167. My good friend in Gibsons, had a stroke during the night. If it wasn’t for the cat making a fuss, he wouldn’t have woken up. Even at that he was helicoptered to Vancouver, and barely made it. The recovery was slow, but he worked so hard at it. Remember to spend time with friends and family. I’m so glad to have serious quality time with Robert.
    2
  1168.  @MHarmony528 Thank you, for your correction. Being gentle, and respectful.
    2
  1169. I’m so happy, to hear you regain your life.
    2
  1170. Please please please, don’t use a Chinese DNA kit. They are collecting data, on ethnicities, and vulnerabilities.
    2
  1171. “My children’s father” sounds like you are separated. If you are separated, he is thinking of you, and the kids. I still love my ex. If I send ❤️, remembering our anniversary, her birthday, etc. it just stretches out the pain of separation and loss. 14 years later, I still care, always will. But it isn’t healthy, to yearn for something that is gone. The choice was made.
    2
  1172. Good for you. I can’t stand, a noisy restaurant.
    2
  1173. Also, I guess rinse after with water. Vinegar is hard on the teeth.
    2
  1174. It seems full of trolls and bots to me.
    2
  1175. Investing in a country that has a political legal system, and considers itself at war with us? Not my pension plan, please.
    2
  1176.  @owenmeier  Definitely, off topic.
    2
  1177. He didn't finish the answer, about what controls the population. Especially if they are fed, by visitors.
    2
  1178. FunBotan A two stroke
    2
  1179. Don’t worry, China has promised, to increase CO2 emissions till 2030. Yummy, coal burning.
    2
  1180. Sorry to burst your bubble. That’s like burning garbage to get rid of garbage.
    2
  1181. Hopefully your son, has the confidence and initiative. To pursue, what he can achieve, the old fashioned way. By doing it.
    2
  1182. That’s the whole problem. We don’t know how, to go below low consumption. With billions of us doing it.
    2
  1183. And all those yummy soaps, go into the river yayyyy!!
    2
  1184.  @Roberta-q1q Then there are the Chinese and other owned, latex (rubber) plantations.
    2
  1185. Ouch, betrayal is a loaded word. How do you define betrayal? What was it? Was it intentionally against you. Or a partner, acting out their own trauma and fears. Are you able to talk to them, in a not judgmental non accusing way. So they feel safe enough to open up? Before doing anything drastic, see if you can have a heart to heart talk. As adults, we still act out our childhood trauma. I’m 64, and married, to the most beautiful woman. She thinks she is fat and unattractive. She says that her love for me, is deeper. Than the need for physical contact. The thing that I desire the most, is to be touched in a loving accepting intimate way. More than being able to share passion and desire. If I were able to experience this, with another person. Does not take away, my desire to be with my loved one. We mess up, for fear of opening ourselves, and accepting each other’s vulnerability.

  1186. A country that harvests live human organs. Is not going to worry about, our fish stocks.
    2
  1187.  @TXLionHeart  Yes, I heard it was a scam.
    2
  1188. Rent controls are wrong. But this, should be criminal. It’s so counter productive, for society. What these “smart investors” are doing. I hope you guys, get through this.
    2
  1189. Any politician, that says we have to live within our means. Loses, the popularity contest.
    2
  1190. If you buy China. You are investing in their military build up. You also, don’t own the stocks.
    2
  1191. China is fighting a war, of subversion, hacking, and information control. It’s different, and we are still sleeping.
    2
  1192. Where are you. And how much have the property taxes changed? I’m in BC Canada, where our provincial government is handing out cheques again, to households earning less than $125,000, net/yr. In addition to, our federal government going nuts. None of it is targeted, at a real business plan. The hang over, will be wicked.
    2
  1193. It’s hard to time. My TLT options expired.
    2
  1194.  @goldienakamoto7894  It was sarcasm. I assume, most of us know. That the 9 dash line, will keep getting bigger. If we let it.
    2
  1195. China and Russia running the show? That’ll be an improvement!!
    2
  1196.  @blessed2338  If you've ever held a baby in your arms. You would know, that we are good to the core. Growing up, makes it complicated.
    2
  1197.  @luismangiaterra1031  I’m so sorry. That you see the world as, love vs hate, or as strictly black and white. I pray for you. That your eyes, may open just a little bit. To see the wonderful world, that we live in. With all its, differences.
    2
  1198.  @luismangiaterra1031  You said hate, not me. I don’t hate, anyone. Except the CCP, that does not allow their people. Or especially those, in their occupied territories. To follow and worship, whoever they please. My comment in this thread. Was about someone taking credit, for someone else’s action. That’s not fair, play.
    2
  1199. In China. We are still working on it.
    2
  1200. How cute, the scammers are here.
    2
  1201.  @JackSmith-hx8zh  Mmmmm turkey.
    2
  1202. This will pass. The next generation, will have something on its fringe. That is over reactive, and appalling to the majority.
    2
  1203. The CCP, brings nations together, like no other organization ❤
    2
  1204. Two of my wife’s childhood Beijing friends, died of lung cancer. Bet they didn’t make it, into the official stats.
    2
  1205. A brave man, for the people.
    2
  1206.  @moggadah  With that, we could have prosperity for everyone. But then our population would double again.
    2
  1207. 5% more proclamations, from the emperor, and the party.
    2
  1208. The CCP, 75 years of humiliation. 🦨
    2
  1209. It’s a handy coincidence, that the cable repair company is Chinese.
    2
  1210.  @sumiland6445  These guys lived in China, for a long time. They toured most of the country by motorcycle. Fell in love with the place and the people. But then experienced, the closing down, and the surveillance of everything. The turning inward to the bad old Mao style. Or ADV, Lahowy86, they have some other channels.
    2
  1211. Tibet and Xinjiang, would love to be independent too.
    2
  1212. We all want what’s best for China. While their government is determined, to make enemy’s of everyone.
    2
  1213. That exasperated sigh at the end says it all
    2
  1214. Let’s not forget, a proud Olympic tradition. 1936 Berlin. 2022 Beijing.
    2
  1215. Communist ideals, are quite good. It’s giving a small group absolute power, is where it rots from the top.
    2
  1216. As long as adequate deterrents and defences, are put in place.
    2
  1217. Myanmar, what a tragedy. All they did, was have an election.
    2
  1218. Does Chinas foreign policy, include autonomy for other disenfranchised people? Like in Tibet, Myanmar, and Xinjiang
    2
  1219. Very revealing interview, with a CCP spokesperson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmYdpHtOv_E&t=0s
    2
  1220. Dragging anchors to rip out fibre optic, like they did in Lithuania, is really nasty. Why don’t we hear of these things, it’s too much.
    2
  1221. Yes, the coal sector is still healthy, and growing.
    2
  1222. A Chinese author that criticized Mao. The most successful destroyer of culture and people, never!!
    2
  1223.  @Mattsta2010  The 5000 years superiority card, is such a farce. If they weren’t warring factions, someone else was invading them. When my Chinese friends, triumphantly mention 5000 years. I say, same as anywhere else. There were native people here, with their cultures. For 10’s of thousands of years, before colonization. And they are still here.
    2
  1224. If you want indignant. Catch a thief!
    2
  1225. Invisible china, sounds like an interesting book.
    2
  1226. Beijing has an outbreak right now. My wife’s sister just got the W-flu, and she knows other people who also have. August 2023.
    2
  1227. The New York post, is Chinese? If the CCP was an honourable, peaceful actor. There would be no conflict. We could focus on cooperation, and real issues.
    2
  1228. Since when, was the truth a problem? Taiwan forever!!!
    2
  1229. The bs, is thick with this one. Great Chinese culture? Try, before the cultural revolution, that set out to destroy it.
    2
  1230.  @yedidyah-jedshlomoh1533 Tibetan children in boarding schools. To not be Tibetan, any more. A horrible crime.
    2
  1231. What they tragically fail to understand is that, nobody wants to be Chinas enemy. Just be like Taiwan, be awesome.
    2
  1232. That’s a pretty big, grain of salt.
    2
  1233. Owwww, so Thailand, is not a safe, travel destination any more!!
    2
  1234. I’d really like to know. If Wang-e, can have a straight conversation in private, with his counterparts. Or if it’s always, the same useless vitriol.
    2
  1235. Even if companies are audited, (finally). It doesn’t prevent them from still being connected to the PLA. “Foreigners” was great for a laugh.
    2
  1236. Two that we know of.
    2
  1237. I wish them all the luck. In developing, an advanced technology. Freedom of the press, information, and speech.
    2
  1238. If you want authentic Chinese culture. Taiwan is a far better choice. They didn’t suffer the i indignity of 75 years of shame, and the four olds.
    2
  1239. I hope so, he has been such a shill. You’d think someone was squeezing his left nut.
    2
  1240.  @pjacobsen1000  Good point. Though, he did say it requires the selling of bonds, to finance it. If no one shows up, to the bond auction?
    2
  1241.  @rabidbanshee Don’t worry, next year there will be more fish in the sea. Just like every year, since the Chinese fleet took over. 💩🍯
    2
  1242. They both give you free gas. 💩🍯
    2
  1243. I think it still needs mentioning. Our western media still trusts most government data, and reports on it as given. While what comes out of China, is the most manipulated. Do we hear about the massive build out of coal burning, the fishing fleet, work camps, live organ donors. Realistic Covid death numbers, etc, etc.
    2
  1244. I hope so too. He seems too smart, and self serving. To be a pawn.
    2
  1245. Even showing their true face. With the wolf warrior stance. Most people in the west, still don’t know. How dangerous the CCP is, for the world. We are still invested there, we will buy their EV’s and solar panels. Despite the harm done.
    2
  1246. And the rampage with a cement truck guy, a few days ago.
    2
  1247. A worldwide lawsuit, it’s about time. But now also against social media companies, for not being fair and open on China coverage. 🦨💩🍯
    2
  1248. I’m not implying that they have any.
    2
  1249. Those leading growth rates, are already based on false info. So why not now, and future ones.
    2
  1250. China was allowed to join, the international regulatory bodies. On hope, and promises. That never came to pass.
    2
  1251. Where’s, Peng Shuai? Where’s, chained up woman? And many more, who disappear.
    2
  1252. Lei, did a good analysis, of the missing Qin Gang.
    2
  1253. Well said.
    2
  1254. If China wants to help Russia. They could save many lives. By pressuring Putin, to send his young men home. End this madness. But no, China has to always show an aggressive face. Like a scared dog.
    2
  1255. Stop repeating, and quoting, “liberation, and reunification”. When referring, to the free nation of Taiwan. It’s mind control.
    2
  1256. No talk about WeChat??
    2
  1257. Go France go!! Share your last remaining tech advantage.
    2
  1258. A match made in Heaven. You really couldn’t find a bunch of guys. Who deserve each other more. Taliban ❤️ CCP
    2
  1259.  @jaydee6268 The problem is, they are at war with us. But we don’t know it.
    2
  1260. Banning them, spreads harmful and negative information.
    2
  1261. Maybe he will get to visit, a star tennis player. Where’s Peng Shuai? Is the Woman’s Tennis Federation still holding strong? Unlike, the sell out NBA.
    2
  1262. How much longer, does China get, most favoured nation status? It seems long over due, for change.
    2
  1263. Or be awesome, like Taiwan. Could save the world.
    2
  1264. Their written mission statement, probably sounds really good. All about helping developing countries, that are out of the funding loop etc. A helping hand, without the strings attached. A jet, corner office, big salary, benefits. Back when the CCP wasn't showing it's cards. Sucking in pension money, (Ray Dalio, Elon, Apple), and intellectual property, from the world. We were all useful idiots. Even now, we still buy their solar panels, and EV cars. Or watch, Kids in the hall, the business man.
    2
  1265. Over at the economic ninja. They stated, that the Chinese government has poured huge subsidies %20-30 of new car purchases, and backing loans. Completely distorting the car market.
    2
  1266. Help, support, spotlight on Jimmy Lai. Not virtue signalling.
    2
  1267. I’m sure Hong Kong’er’s, are quite embarrassed. By those, who now represent them.
    2
  1268. Reunification, is also a word game.
    2
  1269. I’ve never liked gdp as the leading economic indicator. You are right, it doesn’t differentiate between, productive economy, essential activity, investing in the future, fraud, excess government work, ect. Like healthcare in the USA, run by insurance companies. The military, in any country.
    2
  1270. The best hope for mankind. Is for China, to copy Taiwan.
    2
  1271. If they we’re awesome like Taiwan. It wouldn’t be a problem.
    2
  1272. “Global civilization initiative”, that is seriously scary. If you contrast it, with how they treat people, in their occupied territories.
    2
  1273. It appears to me, that they have caught a few cars already. The dogs are chewing, on the people of Tibet Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. The trick is, to wise up, and don’t get caught. Despite the suicidal levels of coal burning, and human rights violations. We will happily buy their EV cars. Jokes on us.
    2
  1274. Good thing they outlawed poverty, last year. That must be helping.
    2
  1275. As investors, do not go back in. There is still genocide in the occupied territories, and organ harvesting from conscious objectors, the religious.
    2
  1276. Have any party members, or resident academics, shown any capacity for introspection? As to why, there is a need for de-risking.
    2
  1277.  @skydragon23101979  If your information, education, is from state generated media. You would be correct, in your views.
    2
  1278.  @jennyfromtheblock.7153  If China takes over. The world will be wishing, for the good old days.
    2
  1279. I’m curious, why do you say, thank god for finding him? If god also, put him on this perilous journey.
    2
  1280.  @Blurb777  Yes, a good parent does what they think is best. Sometimes, (often) we are wrong. But we keep going, best we can.  I can't say I'm raising them anymore. But with age iv'e found love and acceptance for myself. My job now, is to share that feeling. For when we leave this place, to have gratitude and acceptance, for this life. I am the cosmos, and a spec of dust. Thank you for your blessing, the same for you.
    2
  1281. How quickly we’ve forgotten, Peng Shuai.
    2
  1282.  @joeanonymous1834  Joe, I said a few things, in this thread. About the CCP currently doing horrible things, is serious for all of us. Or replying to another comment, that “all” the followers of the lord, of any group think, are all good. Is an easy trap, to fall into.
    2
  1283. As long as it’s a corporatocracy, the country will go broke.
    2
  1284. Thank you for mentioning the Uighur’s. They and the Tibetan’s, don’t get enough coverage.
    2
  1285. If you are foraging. Please try to get them from the forest, or "natural" settings. I don't know about these, mushrooms can concentrate heavy metals, from contaminated soils. Some varieties, are used for soil remediation, in industrial sites.
    2
  1286. India has its issues, but they aren’t colonialists. With reeducation camps.
    2
  1287. Such horrors, never repeated. Except now, in the occupied territories, behind closed doors, and surveillance.
    2
  1288. If they can do this to their own. Imagine what goes on, in the occupied territories. 🍯
    2
  1289. The good old days.
    2
  1290. Tedros, isn’t he the guy, who helped cover up, the Chinese flu?
    2
  1291.  @ppmppm7010  Yes, quite remarkable. He is even back to running his small business.
    2
  1292.  @jeffreyboyd2758  While we complain, the CCP gets closer.
    2
  1293. Meanwhile, in the occupied territories of China…
    2
  1294.  IyamSoRaya  Dictators are way better at screwing the people. They don't have to account to anybody else. Now we have China wanting to take over the world.
    2
  1295. How quickly we forget. China canceled domestic flights. While allowing international. Saying it’s racist, to stop international flights with Wuhan. Telling the WTO, that covid wasn’t communicable. Cleaned up the worlds supply of PPE. Even asking for donations.
    2
  1296. The happiest person I know. Would be dismissed by most, as being “simple”.
    2
  1297. Chinese, fake anger, fake grief.
    2
  1298. It gives the green light to China. For all the💩they are doing.
    2
  1299. Xinjiang
    2
  1300. Or Tibetan refugees, or Mongolian refugees, or Hong Kong refugees, or religious refugees, people without organs, hopefully not Taiwanese refugees.
    2
  1301. Great, until it starts leaking. I’ve seen Chinese construction, up close.
    2
  1302. South China Sea is only a geographical sea name. The English Channel is not all owned by England. The Indian Ocean, same. Tibet, is on land, it is Tibetan. But sadly occupied.
    2
  1303. If South China Sea is Chinese. Tibet, must be Tibetan? Mongolia, Taiwan, HK, etc
    2
  1304. Our greatest achievement, could be, not destroying this beautiful world.
    2
  1305. This is what Christianity is supposed to be. Preaching like this, could bring people back.
    2
  1306. Nukes? Don’t look at China. They are building lots of them, are expansionist, and paranoid. Nothing to see, over there.
    2
  1307. Please get the word out, that we are being played, by China. It’s serious.
    2
  1308. Is that in China, or in Tibet?
    2
  1309. What is not an accident, is nuclear testing in Xinjiang.
    2
  1310. Who is the guest, and the name of his book. This is important.
    2
  1311. Lucky bird.
    2
  1312. Hope he wasn’t inhaling, at the time.
    2
  1313. It didn’t clearly say, that Tibet is an occupied country. Same with, parts of the South China Sea.
    2
  1314. So many immigrants, coming into, an anti business country. How many are leaving? Due to the cost of living here.
    2
  1315. Come on guys. He isn’t saying pro Democrat. He is saying, anti chaos.
    2
  1316. I’m pretty sure he said % of energy use. From %82, to %81. The same percent of a much larger number, is more. The dramatic increase of brown coal burning in China. Completely blows, any efficiency gains, or pollution reductions, in the rest of the world.
    2
  1317.  @gordon3186  I grew up Catholic. So I know exactly what you mean. Agnostics, never burnt anyone, for big we are the chosen ones egos.
    2
  1318. The baby thing, had to happen a lot. For that to be a real thing. What the heck, is going on?? Don’t people understand birth control, and responsibility?
    2
  1319.  @RedGallardo  The geese are!!
    2
  1320. Do these people on TikTok not understand what it is? 🦨💩🍯
    2
  1321.  Carl Chang  True, but in China, it's a massive amount of coal burning. Called, collective suicide.
    2
  1322. What was with the umbrella guy? That just looked nasty.
    2
  1323.  @themurrrr  6 is pretty heavy too. It's when your perception of self, and the world, is set. You must of had a good mom, and other people in your life. to appreciate the car scene. It's nice to see grounded people.
    2
  1324.  @axlperono8359  A brick wall, on stilts. Goes through the windshield.
    2
  1325.  @Maxsumms  Up is only relative to where you are. In New Zealand, up is looking at a different part of the sky, than in Norway. In that clip, the sky view was held steady, as the world turned around. Same as day and night, if you look at the sun.
    2
  1326. It’ll be interesting if the communist party, can learn. They are planning the largest dam ever. High in the occupied Himalayas.
    2
  1327. Crap!!! We already booked 5 weeks in Thailand. Not testing the Chinese is stupid.
    2
  1328. If China wants to repatriate traditional territory. They could give back Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia.
    2
  1329.  @unknownsoilder6511  It has, by the Chinese.
    2
  1330. They will start a war. Their egos, are too fragile. To ever admit wrong.
    2
  1331. There should be large tariffs, on all Chinese products.
    2
  1332. How about this scenario. While the world talks about supporting Taiwan, China invades. Like the South China Sea, already too late.
    2
  1333. Yes, they work through, love and peace. (Same as their new friends, the CCP)
    2
  1334. Ask a Tibetan, how it’s going?
    2
  1335.  Human Being  All democracies, are the biggest threat. Look at how prosperous Taiwan is. Even when Mao, was busy killing the Chinese and their culture.
    2
  1336. Wouldn't it be a miracle, if he out lived, the CCP. Saw his country, and people, as free one day.
    2
  1337. Thank you for covering this important issue.
    2
  1338.  @blackgenesis7472  You’re forgetting the worst, Mao. Unless, you only mean European’s.
    2
  1339. CCP virus. Contact your media, and politicians about the discrepancy. it's only fair.
    2
  1340. Why is the Arab world not helping the Uighur’s?
    2
  1341. I’m sure they do understand, at the leadership level. It’s their game, to play bully, and victim.
    2
  1342. The Hong Kong people held out. Till Covid shut them down. Don’t give up your freedoms.
    2
  1343.  @mrch33sehed93  Since ancient times!! Even then, red crayon was used on old looking maps.
    2
  1344. Is the CCP backing the military, like usual.
    2
  1345. Proof, that ethnically Chinese people, can have a, good, peaceful, prosperous, democracy.
    2
  1346. Like ignoring Mao, Hitler, and Stalin worked.
    2
  1347.  赵杨利Yang lee Zhao  If China decided to be a peaceful neighbour. India, and all the other countries, would be too. Imagine that. No one is attacking China. It is all defensive.
    2
  1348. They went from a rural agrarian society. To burning the most coal.
    2
  1349. Why can’t anyone just say. That if China wasn’t the aggressor. We wouldn’t have this problem. But somehow the US is at fault, for defending, a sovereign state.
    2
  1350. The west is guilty, when China does bad things? Yup, that’s the logic.
    2
  1351.  @ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked  If China didn't enable them. N Korea, wouldn't be able to build much at all.
    2
  1352. Most countries overfish. But have you heard of the Chinese fishing fleet? It’s fishing, the whole world.
    2
  1353. Is the USA, the only country. Where Zed, is pronounced Zeeeee.
    2
  1354. In Canada, we love old rwd Volvo’s
    2
  1355. Chain mail, for night swimmers.
    2
  1356. @Wednesday Addams I’m joking. Here in Canada, like anywhere else, our taxes pay it. But it’s still half as much, and covers everyone. They will defend to the death. The right, to be ripped off, by the insurance companies, big pharma, and the lawyers.
    2
  1357. @Wednesday Addams Accepted. It’s sad actually. There is a graph from “our world in data” life expectancy vs health expenditure. I don’t know how to cut and paste it here. But it shows the health care costs, and life expectancy, of many major countries vs the USA. It’s quite revealing. Canada, we are stuck between the US, and the world. Where we buy, a litre of milk, and a pound of butter. Our petrol, is called gas. Our electricity, is called hydro. A lot of guns, come across the border. Etc.
    2
  1358.  @zipzonker1576  If you are not native. You were an immigrant, at some point.
    2
  1359.  @snoutysnouterson  Ok I exaggerated. 49.5C the days before the town of Lytton burnt to the ground. From sparks, off a passing train.
    2
  1360. Now Putin, is playing the victim card. It sells, with the home audience.
    2
  1361. Then there are those who are scared of attachment. My wife doesn’t like my attention directed towards her. She would rather I have sex with someone else. But I haven’t done that for over 12 years. Because it is all about attachment. That I want with her, not with someone else.
    2
  1362. So, Nepal, doesn’t worry about being occupied, like Tibet?
    2
  1363. Stinging nettle, is super nutritious. Other than the tops, it should be cooked.
    2
  1364. My simmering embers for my wife, result in sleepless nights. She lived through post cultural revolution. Where there was immense shame and guilt, beatings too, for a girl showing interest in a boy. Later in life, she has found a form of spirituality. That places her above, any crude bodily needs. Our relationship is “great”, as long as we avoid the topic, of physical desire, and sex. I’m a little bit lost here. My rose is beautiful, but has no fragrance.
    2
  1365. Ultra nationalists are always dangerous. I’m worried about China. Any non conventional tactic, seems ok.
    2
  1366. The really big outfits, likely do.
    2
  1367.  @BowTiedWhiteOwl  Hopefully not made in China. They are clear cutting African forests, for furniture wood. You don’t want to support the military arms race, either. I hope.
    2
  1368. Great, so what other Chinese products, are routed through Vietnam. I’m trying to avoid financing the Chinese military.

  1369. This is going to hurt bad in China. Right now, they are going through a Mao 2.0 agricultural revolution. Of cutting down fruit trees, and plowing under mixed use fields. To grow grains, where it isn’t best use. Combine absolute power, idiocracy, and input shortages, while the economy is failing, what do you get? Uprising of the peasant class. Reason to start a kinetic war.

  1370.  @NickOloteo  If i have sex with my wife twice a year, i'm above average.
    2
  1371. This has been building, for decades. It’s like a game of musical chairs. Whoever is in power, when the music stops, is guilty.
    2
  1372. I was waiting for the twist. If China blinks, and covers their corporate debts. It all reverses. (Economic collapse, means regime change) Regime change, is definitely a good thing, for world peace. But not likely to happen.
    2
  1373. Sounds like your talking about, the shallow end of the pool here.
    2
  1374. Too funny, I was telling my wife about yurtle the turtle, last week.
    2
  1375. All my families cars, are 25yr and older Volvos. Yesterday we went up a very steep back road. To get to a mountain hike. With sign’s saying, 4x4’s only. If an old volvo wagon can’t get there, get a donkey. (I paid $450 for this one, 5 years ago)
    2
  1376. Digital currency, and negative interest rates, forces spending.
    2
  1377. And China is hoarding gold. We have to get smart.
    2
  1378. In 2012, I was in Beijing, visiting the in-laws. Back then, I thought their real estate, was crazy expensive. It was on the outskirts of the city. Even though it was new, it was poorly built. Materials are cheaper, labour is way cheaper. Incomes are a fraction of in the west. Yet it cost the same, as in overpriced Vancouver, at the time. House of cards.
    2
  1379. An interesting case study, indeed. As they are going off the rails. They are ramping up, an arms race. Telling their people, to get ready for war. Always, the great distraction, and blame the west,
    2
  1380.  @modernvintagelifestyles Why would you say that? Where does an idea like that come from. I’m assuming, you think humans have a soul. But other beings, don’t. Or nobody does?
    2
  1381.  @logicalblackman8228  We are way past, interfering with nature.
    2
  1382.  @motivatorsoftheheart0007  If the western countries, don’t get their mojo back. We will be eaten by China. It can get, a whole lot worse.
    2
  1383. In god we trust, was added to the money, in what year?
    2
  1384. That was the big one for me too. The pure joy and innocence, of a baby looking at you, smiling. (Baby animals are the same too, they just don’t connect with our soul the same). Ok, and the constant. We are right, everyone else is wrong, bs.
    2
  1385. Maga wants a civil war? The winner? China.
    2
  1386. Keep fighting the good fight, for everyone.
    2
  1387. Some took more than a minute, to be born.
    2
  1388. A Canadian neighbour here. The USA is such a diverse dynamic place. It boggles my mind, you guys don’t have better choices for leaders. The world needs a strong team player USA. With the 💩 that Russia and China are pulling. Immigrants should be eligible for president. The ones who are escaping tyranny, and know how serious it is.
    2
  1389.  @williamgullett5911  My reference, is to the size of his ego.
    2
  1390. We needed Trump, to call out the Chinese government. Now we have an adult, to steer the ship.
    2
  1391. Probably, a good thing he did.
    2
  1392. Semi driver, pulls into the shop. Mechanic says, looks like a shark bit your seat.
    2
  1393. Having been to, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other Asian countries. Taiwan should be, a world heritage site. It is a great example, of how to be better.
    2
  1394. XXX, was the shop next door.
    2
  1395.  @DennisBLee  Sorry, of course you are an exception. Watching ADVchina, and others, I’ve learned that, Taiwan is an exceptional country. Courage to you, and the rest of the world, to do what is right. No one, should have to live, under the constant threat, of a larger country.
    2
  1396. Look up, Chinese fishing fleet. They don't care.
    2
  1397. Thank you so much, for mentioning the Chinese. (Not the people, but the CCP) They are trying to divide, our democratic society’s.
    2
  1398. This is so much, like the China-Taiwan situation.
    2
  1399. @Pangur Ban Imagine trying to provision, a U boat. Late in the war. They probably went out hungry.
    2
  1400. Sure missed, that cue. “All that, amazing music “ Followed by,,,,
    2
  1401.  @Shunessmaxinesledge  You’re an example of the difficulty of hard boundaries, and rules. Good for you, to keep going.
    2
  1402. Yes oil is bad. But without it, they wouldn’t have food, cell phones, or clothing. We need broader, pragmatic ideas, to solve this.
    2
  1403. As far as the CCP allows. He is trapped there. Sometimes smart, is too smart.
    2
  1404. Try to get citizenship, own a mine, as a foreigner, in China? Yet, they have all the rights over here. A Chinese company just bought my Canadian lithium stock. I made a few bucks. But what’s that, when it goes to support their military?? Stupid.
    2
  1405.  Kitty Cat  The USA, has been played too. Political division, stoked by Chinese, Russian influence. Does that ring a bell?
    2
  1406. Are you saying. That China, could be a prosperous peaceful democracy, with tradition values? Just like, Taiwan!!!! That’s something, I can pray for.
    2
  1407. I have another view. Like Tibet, Russia has land and resources that China needs. After the Russians have exhausted themselves, with the Ukraine war. They will be a push over, for China. Will we have the fortitude, to rescue the Russian people?
    2
  1408.  Zack Smith  I’m just saying, they could be. Like Tibet, as a most spiritual country, before the occupation.
    2
  1409. Yes, as long as it doesn’t become a witch hunt. That may turn friends, into more spies.
    2
  1410. Cutting off a head, does not kill the hydra.
    2
  1411.  @ywgmb35  Hey!! They don’t just screw their own. They export a lot of food, to the diaspora. My wife is from Beijing. In Vancouver, half of our grocery stores, are Chinese. I bet they don’t export, the best stuff. The seafood is cheaper, than local caught. It’s grown in sewage, or stolen from other countries.
    2
  1412.  @LeisRealTalk  You tell em. It’s in vogue, to criticize anything American, or Western. But, question the things, the CCP is doing!! You are shut down, for being racist, or spiteful. This is the game, the CCP is playing.
    2
  1413. Unless, they are presiding over, active ethnic, and religious cleansing. Then it’s hard say, I’m sure he’s a good guy, with friends and family.
    2
  1414. Such quality content, so few views?? Elon buying Twitter, is a great win, for CCP propaganda. Twitter was calling out, Chinese bots. Guess that’s censorship, now.
    2
  1415. A little off topic. But GDP is a terrible measure of economic activity. It doesn’t differentiate between, productive, essential, and wasteful activity. In any country.
    2
  1416. It won’t be easy, but getting the numbers way down, is still too many. It’s a blessing in the long run. But short term, frustrated young men, without wives. Are far too easily directed, into the military.
    2
  1417. Love your optimism, Lei.
    2
  1418. It’s time, Disney stopped putting down, it’s home.
    2
  1419. Not really, it is a hydra. Cut off one head, two, three, you still have the beast.
    2
  1420. A lot of that, would be about, losing face.
    2
  1421. What! No one is going to say. Xi, mastermind of the honey trap!
    2
  1422. It’s like, comedians have far more insight. Into the human condition, than politicians do.
    2
  1423. What do you get. When it’s, a criminal organization.
    2
  1424. There is probably, no good reason. For them to keep quiet. (Threats against loved ones). We never ever heard, if they are still sane. After being in solitary etc.
    2
  1425.  @drumpfdon760  Yes, if China was a peaceful neighbour. The whole world, would be so much safer, and happier.
    2
  1426. The mythical Hydra, is alive and well, in China. Cut off the head, what do you get?
    2
  1427. Come tent camp in BC, black bears like to cuddle !!
    2
  1428.  @yme9953  It’s the intent. If you insult friends and family, with a twinkle in your eye, and love in your heart. As long as they aren’t Protestant, you’re golden.
    2
  1429.  @realone2462  Come on now! I’m fine, I can handle it. I’m not like those guys. Every addicted person. Money, power, booze, porn, religion, sex, drugs.
    2
  1430. Most people don’t understand, that farmland is not nature. So very little of the good land, can grow naturally.
    2
  1431. How does that happen? Mum or daughter, must have done something. One or two not able to make it, is normal. But everyone?
    2
  1432. So, if you’re smart. You go into, self imposed, witness protection. Lose contact, with your community, friends, and family. Spend the rest of your life, being deceptive. This is not, a winning life strategy.
    2
  1433.  @sh4rkbyt3  haHa, of course, the other “parent” would of had some influence. I can’t imagine, someone that self centred, having children.
    2
  1434. All western countries, are paying for Chinese shipping to all of us. Undercutting our own business. We are paying them, to destroy us.
    2
  1435. Don’t forget Tibet. And forced assimilation. Or the continuing increase of coal burning, in China. Don’t support them. They are at war with us.
    2
  1436. Why isn’t, the Chinese fishing fleet story, not of #1 urgency? It is massive, takes everything, from around the world, has oil tankers, and gun boats.
    2
  1437. And lots of Copper.
    2
  1438. Someone did a test of stacking pads. Sorry I don’t remember who. They found that the closed cell, on top of the air pad. Was warmer, than the reverse. I like to use the closed cell on the bottom to prevent a puncture. It happened to me on the last night, of an 11 day hike. Very annoying.
    2
  1439. Time to experiment, thanks!
    2
  1440. And, an interesting reminder. The Donald, was of either party. Whichever he could use.
    2
  1441.  @mrvan3491  Ahhh, good old deflection.
    2
  1442. Nothing to analyze here. It was DEI, Biden, and Obama.
    2
  1443. Wait till China sweeps in to take the spoils. Russia has everything, that China wants.
    2
  1444. This is so disgustingly human. Having to shoot a man on crutches. Who is forced to confront you. All the people’s, can be so loving and spiritual. Yet here we are. China is massively arming, waiting for its chances. On either side, that could be my son or daughter. No glory here.
    2
  1445. We like China. It’s the things the government is doing, that’s the issue. Now you can delete this comment. It didn’t first, go through, the ministry of truth.
    2
  1446. I'm going through, all the, Kids in the hall.
    2
  1447. Click bait title. Raising a few tens of millions, building a couple of hundred units, won’t fix it. How do you get the disenfranchised, to be included in the building, of their homes, their future?
    2
  1448. Now to heal. No more blaming, and shaming.
    2
  1449. No to, China, Russia, Iran, N Korea. Don’t let Trump, break up the allied coalitions.
    2
  1450. Now that’s a story, that hasn’t been told.
    2
  1451.  @ahill4642 Strange times.
    2
  1452. Entire audience?
    2
  1453. I’m against the invasion of anywhere. Don’t let Trump abandon Ukraine. Or with his duplicitous “friend” Musk, abandon Taiwan.
    2
  1454. My first question is always, Made in China? Does it run ok, without the power supply? Carrying extra power, is extra weight. Trail Designs, Ti-Tri, is a light weight, clean burner.
    2
  1455. How did people come to think, that wet wipes are a good thing in any way?? They are disgusting. If you buy it, they make it, now it’s with us.
    2
  1456. Out of respect for this man. Renounce hate against any of your fellow citizens. Be ever vigilant of any powers, that sow division.
    2
  1457. Do you interview, any allied vets? They are disappearing too.
    2
  1458. Thai people, like the Taiwanese, are very nice people.
    2
  1459. You can’t have gravity fed, from the bottom.
    2
  1460. We have to be vigilant. China is buying up, everything it can. Once they do, it’s gone.
    2
  1461. How precious, our freedom in the west. Please, don’t let China, run the world. If someone, in a position of authority. Decides they don’t like you, or can benefit. You’re done.
    2
  1462. That 8 yr old boy, was lucky it was American officers. Not the other way around.
    2
  1463. It’s time to pull together, and to maintain freedom of speech, An example of a one party, surveillance state. My wife is visiting her mom in China. She is so disappointed with her old peers. The only thing they want to talk about is money, me first. Religion and politics are forbidden. The government talks down to the people. If they protest, they get rounded up, and dealt with. The people seem to have lost their souls. In contrast, the Taiwanese, are a very polite grounded courteous culture.
    2
  1464. Time to cancel, the complicity games.
    2
  1465. This is so disgustingly human. Having to shoot a man on crutches. Who is forced to confront you. All the people’s, can be so loving and spiritual. Yet here we are. China is massively arming, waiting for its chances.
    2
  1466. If a woman was reliving trauma. While having sex with me. I would so much want to know. Sex is first, in the mind, about trust intimacy sharing bonding. Then pleasure, and other explorations, are so much greater.
    2
  1467. Better than China. No trying to take over the world.
    2
  1468. You only see, what they want you to see. You do know, that all China info, goes through the ministry of truth. Of course there are happy people. But when there is a knifing, around the corner, it isn’t in the local news. The houses have cage like bars around the windows, everything is locked. “Because of no crime”. Yes I’ve been there.
    2
  1469. Ouch! Yes I know too.
    2
  1470. Inner peace. A perfect place to start from.
    2
  1471. Now I'm conflicted. At over 60, pack weight is definitely an issue. But because, the coastal BC mountains, offer very few flat and dry camp spots. I'm really hoping to find a hammock, that won't cramp my legs. Without adding, an extra kilo, or more, vs a tarp and a pad.
    2
  1472.  @perma_bann  Yes you do set a higher standard. We shouldn’t argue. The risk is, the CCP taking advantage, and promoting any divisions.
    2
  1473. Keep speaking out, we have become complacent in the west. 🍯
    2
  1474. The problem with China, is they are taking over, subversively. While the Nazi’s, were direct, and the world figured out, what was going on, pretty quickly.
    2
  1475. A way more important story. He is a shining light.
    2
  1476. Thanks Mat. Knowing that the Chinese who have emigrated, over many generations, are fantastic citizens. I don’t know about, the ones that have come over, in the last 30 years. They benefited from modern China. Came here on top. Bought all the rental stock. Watch Chinese media. Can live there lives in Mandarin. The shopping malls in greater Vancouver, are Chinese. It would appear normal, to an immigrant. Are these people with us, I’m not sure?? They will soon dominate our politics.
    2
  1477. Quasimoto
    2
  1478. I so appreciate, you sticking with it. A government that hides behind coercion, and censorship, is illegitimate.
    2
  1479. Love your honest commentary. Did anything come of the South Morning Post interview? The writen statement you sent them.
    2
  1480.  @ruthanneseven  Vancouver, luckily, we still have snow melt mountain streams, to chill in.
    2
  1481. We don’t have to like, the new president. But he is, bringing together the old allies.
    2
  1482.  @ruthanneseven  Funny, next time, you'll be?
    2
  1483. The torch bearer. How many bodies, did the have to stand on, to light the flame? While being poked, with lances. (A great, cartoon idea)
    2
  1484. As long as the CCP controls the narrative, we are in trouble.
    2
  1485. Killer banana.
    2
  1486.  @ruthanneseven  Heck, i thought it was some kind of, bipolar thing going on. Seven, is an interesting choice of name. Better than Vanilla.
    2
  1487. As a Canadian who feels overwhelmed by the flood of Chinese mainlanders. Coming to “Vancouver “ in the last 30 years. It is refreshing to hear your perspective. I’m hoping there are many more like you here.
    2
  1488.  @wirrinwibbi-ko801  If Hong Kongers used real weapons. They would be called western backed terrorists. It would be Tiananmen Square, squared.
    2
  1489.  @lohdanwee474  Lucky thing they did. It’s the only place, that preserved Chinese culture. Even more ironic, artifacts in western museums, would have also been destroyed by Mao.
    2
  1490.  @lorsheckmolseh3345  I’m married to a woman, who grew up in Beijing. Yes, they are the most openly racist people I’ve ever met.
    2
  1491.  @kenm4898  When the CCP flu, was being covered up by the Chinese government, as a potential world problem. Canada donated PPE to China, to help. Meanwhile, Taiwan read between the lines, and shut down China travel.
    2
  1492. One individual is annoying, funny. The mass indoctrination is scary.
    2
  1493.  @Micha-qv5uf  I just wan't these guy's, to be around for a long time. I respect their knowledge, and they're work.  There's lots of great things to enjoy. That stuff is pure crap, and it's addictive.
    2
  1494. If he is looking after himself, he doesn’t drink any of that crap.
    2
  1495. Someone else said. The song, is Bulgarian. They are too lazy, to write their own music.
    2
  1496. Be awesome, like Taiwan.
    2
  1497.  @paulfri1569  In Canada, the Chinese that came over, a generation or more ago. Are good hard working Canadian citizens. Most of the new rich, that have come over, in the last 30 years, are not the same people at all. I’m sure, Australia is having the same experience.
    2
  1498. They are really generous with their time. Helping the Tibetans, and Mongolians, get over their cultures too. Perhaps we can be next. If we are really lucky.
    2
  1499. Deflection. 💩🍯
    2
  1500. Why TCM is evil. If it’s rare or endangered, it’s most desirable. 💩🍯
    2
  1501. There is only room for one queen, at the centre of the universe. Take that, dear leader.
    2
  1502. Sorry to hear, they deserve the truth, and they're freedom.
    2
  1503. Can we now have, free Tibet day? West Turkmenistan day?
    2
  1504.  @notanymore9471  It depends upon your strategy. They are harassing a lot of places, with their fishing fleet, and patrol boats. Pushing the land and sea borders, all around them. Without starting a kinetic war.
    2
  1505. This video does not prove anything. Except that China will say whatever it takes, to get what they want. Their navy is if not the biggest, it is very large. Take a look at what they are doing in the Philippines, and South Pacific.
    2
  1506. The same assumption would apply. To all the nasty things, the regime does.
    2
  1507. Litmus test, if they have a tantrum. Bingo. It needs fixing.
    2
  1508. Because their bosses, have been promised access, to the big market. Where money, and ideas, go to die.
    2
  1509. Mmmm, fresh young organs.
    2
  1510. Remember, Lithuania was first, with the courage to stand up.
    2
  1511. Is it still, the Kim double? Is the real Kim, healthy enough to ask, if it’s lunch time?
    2
  1512. A Serbian friend went back to visit. She was disgusted at the air pollution, from the Chinese, coal power plant. It’s not just at home, that the Chinese are burning more coal.
    2
  1513. Canadians in the wild!! Woooo, hoot hoot!! I didn’t know there’s a wild life reserve in China.
    2
  1514. It’s a lot like when aids was a scare. People were dying of minor things. But it was aids that was making it happen. It makes sense, that the reporting of the W,,,, Flu, was all over the place. Both of my elderly parents died during the lockdown. They went really fast, going into a care home, and isolated. But their deaths, were reported as, just normal old people breakdown.
    2
  1515. East Turkmenistan, was too beautiful, to leave alone. Like Tibet, like Taiwan, must destroy..
    2
  1516.  @f.b.l.9813  I agree with you. The CCP act like, they would rather take us all with them. Rather than lose.
    2
  1517. China, could be awesome, like Taiwan!!
    2
  1518.  @NoahGooder  True, I'm not sticking my head out. But when lots of young people get together, it changes. Answer, build more prisons.
    2
  1519. Jealous ex implies, there was a relationship!!
    2
  1520.  @Sandact6 Thanks, I’ll check that. (Tho I don’t trust them, to follow rules).
    2
  1521. Tibetan’s. Uighur’s. Peng Shuai. Chained up, peasant woman. Sexy cyborg, girl.
    2
  1522.  @schlookie  Sadly there goes, courtesy, honour, and good will to others. Don't let them, get you down.
    2
  1523. That’s when a distraction is needed. A switch to, kinetic war.
    2
  1524. Keep it that way.
    2
  1525. If Tibet is traditional Chinese territory, it’s real.
    2
  1526. Don’t forget Wechat. And Chinese made, electronic devices.
    2
  1527. To be fair. This Canadian was in Thailand. A good village restaurant. Had a number of crap, sorry I mean, crab dishes. Btw, Taiwan was amazing. Way better than China. It’s a high trust society, with very grounded people. Sorry to say, I’m not going to Hong Kong, anymore.
    2
  1528.  @winni2701  Studying patterns, and then sending it that way. May not be exact, but you know what you are doing. In China, and its occupied territories, most of the airspace, is off limits to its own domestic airlines. So no foreign anything, right? Except clearly designated flight paths, to international airports.
    2
  1529. Did the Canucks, stay on course? We’re they intimidated.
    2
  1530. About to set, a honey trap.
    2
  1531. Also with NTD, they lose credibility. Always getting digs in, at the political left. Left and right, should be fair game.
    2
  1532. Easily mistaken, for yummy piss eggs.
    2
  1533. Japan, is a high trust society. (Like Taiwan). China, is a low trust society.
    2
  1534.  @sabrekai8706  The PLA is based in Japan? Now that’s, news.
    2
  1535. I’d like to see the broadcast, of the game, in China. A “province”, beating the national team, at an international event. Explain that!!
    2
  1536. It’s for young minds. Positive sounding repetition, with indoctrination.
    2
  1537. Hey guys, your content is crucial. But too many repeats.
    2
  1538. Ouch! And to think of all the pollution, to make that junk.
    2
  1539. To be fair. There should be, high duties, on their products. At least as high, as what they put on imports. Not to mention penalties, for burning coal, and human rights issues, to make them.
    2
  1540. Chinese cars will take over, if we let them. We mostly buy, on price. Not long term cost.
    2
  1541. Anyone? I want to try the APP they recommend, for filtering out Chinese products. Has anyone tried it? I forget the name.
    2
  1542. Chinese get to enjoy lots of perks. Like visiting their local police station, for any reason. Or volunteering for organ donor, if they are religious, or from the occupied territories.
    2
  1543. It’s pretty nasty. Hell of an infection.
    2
  1544. Is there still time, to save Myanmar, and the Solomon Islands?
    2
  1545. Good points. As good a society, most of Japan is. Some of the bad, from the past, hasn’t been dealt with. Still no excuse, for cheering a disaster.
    2
  1546. In the real world, 30 is dirty. It’s 2 today in Vancouver.

  1547. Don’t forget, the Tibetan’s. Being forced, to assimilate.
    2
  1548. It sells to the home audience. With pride, the American equipment, needs Chinese parts.
    2
  1549. Prepare for the worst. (A whiff of unrest, they will switch from unconventional, to conventional war) But also, work for the best. Humanity depends on it.
    2
  1550. Use median, not average. Also, world leader in, green painted pollution. What do you get with green coal burning? Lead and arsenic, even radiation, in the soil and food.
    2
  1551. The most powerful passport, is lots of money.
    2
  1552. It’s about time. My Chinese acquaintances, still see the CCP as benevolent. Rather than self serving, and paranoid.
    2
  1553. It’s nothing, but people waiting for tennis lessons, from Peng Shuai. Or, faithful organ donors.
    2
  1554.  @FrostFire1987  Canadian here, we are bipolar, on language and measuring things. With our World/European/British heritage. While sharing a flat, with an elephant, and a donkey.
    2
  1555. Where’s Peng Shuai?
    2
  1556. Imagine discrimination, in a country that is committing genocide, and is a colonizer. Imagine that? 🦨💩🍯
    2
  1557. Why I say, anyone but Trump. The biggest threat to the world, is Chinese colonialism. We need to stick together, with teamwork, they may not start a kinetic war. Last time, Trump cut ties, with the allies. A strong unified fair USA is needed to hold it all together.
    2
  1558. I’m so glad he keeps going back, to refer to China, (the CCP). The first or second biggest threat, to all the world’s people.
    2
  1559. Why do you say fake? Do you know him. We do have some people like him, who thrive on conspiracy theories. Who immaturely, feel victimized by society.
    2
  1560. Not the Mormon’s, and the Joho’s? The USA, is definitely an interesting place, the best, the worst, no ceiling, no floor. But it’s still way better than what the CCP is doing around the world, and at home.
    2
  1561. Xi, Kim, Putin, have immunity. Trump is jealous, of his idols.
    2
  1562. Old style Republicans, were often, for country and the people. Not always, corporate stooges.
    2
  1563. We will need strategies to counter AI. Made in places, that don’t have good intentions for mankind.
    2
  1564. Watch this again. Thinking of, what Xi is doing, in China!!
    2
  1565. Keep calling their bs. These are the people, who would happily take away all the modern freedoms. Of speech, assembly, expression, religion, except their own.
    2
  1566.  @nottawa86  parents today use disposable nappies, and nylon throwaway wipes. As modern humans, everything we do, uses up nature. Just our clothing, is from oil, or a farm.
    2
  1567. It’s not just about personal cost. It’s also about not being stressed about it, in your daily life. Same goes for kids, having the freedom at school, to not think about shootings.
    2
  1568. China is enjoying, the dissolution of western alliances. Thanks Trump.
    2
  1569. “I’m hurting”, “so it’s ok to hurt other people” She won’t find peace, this way.
    2
  1570. The problem with stereotypes, is some people have to do something different, or not good. To start it. I just came back from 6 weeks in Thailand. I’m a middle aged+ white guy. So guess what everyone thinks, I was doing there!! By the way, the country of Taiwan is awesome. Lovely people. One day Japan.
    2
  1571. 7 yr olds should be working in the mines. No free lunches. For those unwanted pregnancies.
    2
  1572. I bet she roasts the snowflakes, on both sides.
    2
  1573. If only, China was a peaceful democratic nation. We would all be, so much better off. More like awesome Taiwan.
    2
  1574. China’s having a go at it.
    2
  1575. Japan is a totally different place, than in the 1930’s. In regards to military mindset. Today it is purely defensive. Responding, to a completely unnecessary, but dangerous external threat.
    2
  1576. With that sulphur steel. Now I’m thinking, of all the merchant ships. Supplying Russia, during the war. In winter, in the Barents sea. Did any, break apart on their own.
    2
  1577.  @mustertherohirrim7315 thank you for caring. I’m in Canada. When my parents were in end of life care. After the dementia etc made home care dangerous. I’m so ever grateful, for the good hearted people, who cared for them.
    2
  1578. Even without the sewage, people in the water, is very dangerous. I used to take a neighbour’s kid swimming. He didn’t have many good adults in his life. We went to a small lake, and swam out to the middle. He panicked, and kept climbing on top of me. Many years later, i’m glad to be here. He found his way, to crowbar hotel.
    2
  1579. I wonder, how the Argentinian young man is doing? Feeling responsible for those deaths, is now a part of him.
    2
  1580. @Perfect Imperfection Pucker factor? Try, bite marks out of the seat. Riding a metal tracked excavator, down an icy road.
    2
  1581. Rubber boots saved his feet, in -40 ???? Wow.
    2
  1582. China’s aggression, should force the affected countries, to settle their boundary disputes. Or all risk, losing more territory.
    2
  1583. Mmm, prisoners promised leniency, to be internet trolls. On formats, that are illegal in China.
    2
  1584. Now, let’s go defend Taiwan!!
    2
  1585. Tossing light bulbs ties into our feelings, with all the chemicals we use. Down the drain, in the garbage, or off to recycling. It’s not gone, it’s now with us, to come back in our food, and water.
    2
  1586.  @Eliseo202  Your reply is the best.
    2
  1587. As long as we buy Chinese products. We risk the health and life of everyone.
    2
  1588. Normalcy bias, sunk costs, reputation, ego, industry profits, too big to change, too complicated to start over, humans!!! Same as buying Chinese products. Despite knowing they are killing us with pollution and coal burning. Hello, forced labour, genocide, organ harvesting!!!
    2
  1589. I wonder how quickly nature would balance out. If we buggered off.
    2
  1590. Outside of a religious context. Communal living is so hard to do. As evidenced, by all the failed communes. How do you motivate, the freeloaders, to pitch in. As much as those who really care. It’s still a great idea, to have real community.
    2
  1591. It is choice. But you don’t think, FF is designed to be addictive?
    2
  1592. I used to really like Dr Berg. Then started hearing Scientology stories around him.
    2
  1593.  @JohnCunningham-sy5ug  Some kind of a, I got what I want thing?
    2
  1594. He was thinking?
    2
  1595. Salt is a rock.
    2
  1596. You deny people, their sexuality. What do you get? A bigger problem.
    2
  1597. Ok, it’s more virulent. Does that include people with immunity? No one asked, if it’s more or less, dangerous?
    2
  1598. It isn’t evil. It’s from keeping animals in factory farming, or poor husbandry.
    2
  1599. You can’t see the difference? Holding it in a desert, nature reserve. Vs, at a large ski resort?
    2
  1600. USA. All three of those countries are “American”. Look at a map, of North America.
    2
  1601. If it’s, a party for the majority. The average person, doesn’t want the far left, or right.
    2
  1602. It’s amazing how many people, can’t just take in the story, at face value. They have to deny, or change it, to suit their own view. Who knows more about the topic on hand? People who have been studying it, for a long time? Or random YouTube armchair experts. That are promoting an agenda?
    2
  1603. That’s a very dangerous game. If you vote, pro China. That’s the last time, you will be allowed an opinion
    2
  1604.  @nbgoodiscore1303  fair? They have been taught the CCP version of history. So they don’t even know their own story. Fair? Taiwan is an independent country. If has never been administered by the mainland. It would be like the USA voting for Cuba.
    2
  1605.  @asianamericancasestudies6434  Imagine if the KMT had its wish. Of ruling China again. China could be awesome.
    2
  1606.  @jumbomuffin1316  and their timber. That’s what the comment above is. A misdirect.
    2
  1607. Having driven manuals all my life. I totally understand, being in the power band range, regardless of kind of drive. But you got me on the automatic. I need to know more on that. About the only thing I do. Is feel it shift, before accelerating.
    2
  1608. The reason, all the apartment windows, have cages around them? Trust.
    2
  1609. I think the main strategy, is political, elite capture, and lots of noise.
    2
  1610.  @sketchydustin8372  don’t discount her, she is doing good work. Shining a light, on evil. Yes, Trump is a terrible, self serving person. But he did one very important thing. He stopped playing nice, with a cry/bully Chinese government. We needed the wake up call, a long time ago.
    2
  1611. When Japan invaded China in 37. The USA stopped supplying Japan, with oil, and gave weapons to China. In desperation, Japan attacked the USA. The USA, with allied help, and a tremendous effort, destroyed the Japanese army, and navy. Has anyone ever heard, a word of thanks, from the communist Chinese?? PS; the USA did not keep, the liberated lands. It did help them, to recover.
    2
  1612. The USA is stronger, if it’s friends are too.
    2
  1613. Problem here, you guys need more eyes, on content. Or at least, existing viewers, to promote you.
    2
  1614. They are doing it everywhere in the west. Been to Canada, Australia, NZ, England, lately
    2
  1615. Apparently they want to build an even larger dam, high in the occupied Himalayas. Cutting off the water to India.
    2
  1616. There are so many things going on. It doesn’t matter how tragic the story. We eventually move on. They know this. Strength, to the Women’s Tennis Federation. The only sport group, with credibility.
    2
  1617. When your friends are, N Korea, Iran, Russia, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Hamas, Houthi. When you’ve started an arms race, with all of your neighbours. Sit down, and take a good hard look at yourself. Before something, really really bad happens, to all of us.
    2
  1618.  @melteddarkchocolate000  I'm curious how to set something like this up. In the 60's and 70's here in BC there were a lot of commune type of communities. They nearly all collapsed. Because the work always fell to the few, who burned out. The idealists, only contributed their presence. Or power tripping leaders, went too far.
    2
  1619. @Bruno Oliveira and NTD, daily coverage, of real China events.
    2
  1620. Decoupling is good. But they are paranoid old men, with nukes.
    2
  1621.  @garfieldisgod  It would make for a lot of red dashed lines, and a hell of a tantrum. Let's do it.
    2
  1622.  @solconcordia4315  Thank you for the mention. An impossible task, with a small garrison. When most of our young men were heading to Europe. I admire the Vietnamese. They have been occupied, by so many. Yet, they don't appear to hold resentment. They are proud, and welcoming. An example, that our friends in Beijing, could learn from.
    2
  1623.  @solconcordia4315  I'm so sorry for your loss, of what independence you had. HK, was great to visit. My comparison with Taiwan, and Canada. Is very superficial. I was referring to size, and noise. The USA, does strong arm us when it comes to trade, and duties. They complain, about our politics. But, we certainly do not have, the constant stress, of PSYOP operations, and the threat of invasion. You are right, as the inside passage opens up, Russia, the USA, and China. All want, control over it.
    2
  1624.  @marocat4749  None of us can tell if there was intent. But they were experimenting with it in a lab there. And made a big effort to cover it up, once it was out. So it’s a, if there’s smoke, there could be fire. Kind of things.
    2
  1625. Not benevolent at all?
    2
  1626. How much of the Chinese diaspora, believe this stuff? Here in Canada, there was no flag waving, about donating medical equipment, at the beginning. Before The CCP, shared the problem. Here’s a good one. Has the CCP ever said thanks, for liberating them, from Japanese occupation? When they liberate a place like Tibet, they keep it.
    2
  1627. Smooth CCP!! They can show those ethnic groups in Russia. How well the Tibetan’s and Uighur’s have been treated. 🦨💩🍯
    2
  1628. Be vigilant, pass this info around. Tell your big box store, to buy from countries, that are not out to kill us. Lobby your politicians. We don’t want our next generation, in camps.
    2
  1629.  @georgehenderson7783  Home prices and rents, are beyond sky high. The city really messed things up, by relying on offshore money. It's created a lot of instability, and dislocation. Until recently worked in 14 apartment buildings. 13 are Chinese owned. The last one is owned by, a long term local, but he is 96 years old.
    2
  1630. And you hope, she never does.
    2
  1631. As a 60yr old Canadian. This is the first time I’ve heard of Leo Major. My step dad signed up in 39. When I knew him, he didn’t want to talk of, or celebrate the war.
    2
  1632. I’m in my 60’s. The day, my adopted daughter, came to us.
    2
  1633. You really think, the folks who covered it up, don’t know the truth?
    2
  1634. I wonder how the two Michael’s are doing, in solitary?
    2
  1635. Reminds me of the Chinese fishing fleet. Cable cutting? The other cable cutting country, happens to be the biggest cable repair company. How convenient.
    2
  1636. He can’t say no, to Chinese government bots.
    2
  1637. Small green projects, like coal fired, power plants.
    2
  1638.  @goofygooferson7834  If China was like Taiwan. We would ALL be a lot safer, and happier.
    2
  1639. What a stupid, wasteful war. Protect Taiwan.
    2
  1640. It is distressing, that this is all because, of one man’s ego. Most of those Russian soldiers, don’t want to be there.
    2
  1641. Prevent this in Taiwan. Support Taiwan.
    2
  1642. Keep Taiwan safe. We don’t need another, disaster.
    2
  1643. I’m outa here. Damn humans, are killing each other. again.
    2
  1644. You do know, that it’s Russia, that invaded the free country of Ukraine. Your comment, sounds like, it’s the other way around? Or is the new colonizer, China, involved in your media?
    2
  1645.  @saellenx3528  How they treat the people of these lands. Is what makes it, an ongoing crime.
    2
  1646. I came here, to see if you had an answer, for. How to moderate, the Chinese fishing fleet. They are taking it all. #2, China’s massive coal burning, is suicide.
    2
  1647. It is independent. It’s freedom and prosperity, is the threat.
    2
  1648. Wow, a lot of these traits, sound like, the recent president.
    2
  1649. Reminds me. Of when my mom said, about our new step-dad. If I have to chose between him or you. My future is with him. Without me challenging them at all? Why she was so insecure, to feel the need to say such a thing, baffles me. I hope, you have a trusting group of friends, and new family.
    2
  1650. Your Peter, won’t like it.
    2
  1651. The occupied territories people's, are experiencing organ loss disease.
    2
  1652. You should worry. We need teamwork, to counter Chinese expansionism. If not, they can just pick us off, one by one.
    2
  1653. Let’s count all the votes, and see who won?
    2
  1654. Make legal entry an option.
    2
  1655.  @worndown8280  Do you think the PLA worries about its men or the environment? They have always used, “a wall of meat”.
    2
  1656. A bad news story. Turned into a good news story.  Having been to China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, myself. Taiwan is worth saving for being a shining example. Of being an amazing, socially successful, prosperous, democratic, country. Constantly under threat, by a large all controlling dictatorship. If we don't support Taiwan sufficiently, it's on us, we are next. The people are amazingly nice, and grounded. They didn't experience Mao, ripping the culture apart. Then setting the stage, for a government that stands on the people's necks.
    2
  1657. I think recognition from other places, is more important. So it's not just a USA vs China, thing. We need to work together. If we don't want our kids, in labour/education camps.
    2
  1658. Even though he gets called sleepy Joe. This is the first administration in a long time. To actually do, foreign diplomacy. It’s about time.
    2
  1659. Anything that gets freedom, for Tibet and East Turkestan.
    2
  1660. Good news, for Ukraine. Fantastic news, for Taiwan.
    2
  1661. Then the Russian's will have nothing, to keep their friend's the Chinese, out of their pantry.
    2
  1662. Now that Russia has exhausted itself. There’s a bigger problem. I may become the new colony, of China.
    2
  1663. If you can only cover the interest payment. You’ve been using credit, to pay for consumables. (Like cars, or bad investments). Eventually you have to face the music. We have been running ever larger deficits for 70 years.
    2
  1664.  @TheDaeroner  He does sound interesting, I'll head over to my favourite used book store. I am emotionally reactive. To China's pervasive surveillance, propaganda machine, and military buildout. In context, to their expansionism, how they treat the people in their occupied territories, lack of environmental concern, and that I have kids. We do need a better way, to make the world safer. Taiwan is awesome, it's a shining light, surrounded by darkness.
    2
  1665. Imagine the jubilation of the Cuban people. If they were a free democratic nation like Taiwan.
    2
  1666. Thank you Peter, for your broad view. I look forward to your, shorter term predictions.
    2
  1667.  @kuyre2239 Never. But we into west, thought they were. As my Chinese wife says, Chinese always take advantage.
    2
  1668. Amount of Defense spending, is like GDP. It doesn’t prioritize value, or quality. In the USA, bang for buck, needs to be fixed. We beat Germany on production of units. China is doing that now.
    2
  1669. Didn’t they sign a free trade with Taiwan?
    2
  1670. The world needs a strong USA. Look at how china eliminates the religious and ethnic peoples in its occupied territories.
    2
  1671. If cutting off revenue, cripples the war machine. We need to stop buying Chinese products.
    2
  1672. This makes opposing Russia and China real. Look at what the Chinese do to the people in their occupied territories. Yet we are buying their EV’s, solar panels, and other junk.
    2
  1673. The desperation, of young women selling themselves, is tragic. Humiliating them, is just nasty.
    2
  1674.  @jameseverett4976  Thanks, I’m not here for sympathy. (I hope) Sometimes it just feels good to let it out. My stepson, and kids from before, are on their own now. All great kids, I’m happy to be involved. It’s the money, I’m over 60, and self employed. So being able to work less. To have personal friend and family time, on weekends or more, is pretty sweet. I hope you are healthy, get some peace, and satisfaction in your life.
    2
  1675.  @jameseverett4976  Time alone, in the woods, bliss. If my knees give out, shoot me.
    2
  1676.  @Doochos  No place is perfect. Having just been there. The people are way more polite and grounded, than Chinese mainlanders. It felt like, an important place to keep safe.
    2
  1677. You know the facts. Taiwan is awesome.
    2
  1678. A proud Olympic tradition. 1936 2022
    2
  1679.  @bluehotdog2610  Of course, excluding based on ethnicity, is wrong. I'm just saying, the CCP has put a lot of effort, into placing their people, in influential places, in the west. While, we if in China, would never get near to promoting a balanced narrative. Their own people, only hear the govt messaging. So, what is the way to deal with them? We have TicToc, WeChat, other Chinese media. Do they allow, YouTube, ect, no.
    2
  1680.  @holysnyper  me too, I don’t know what that means.
    2
  1681. I hear, organ transplants are cheap there.
    2
  1682.  @zoltanrudolf  Nice deflection, the topic was China. With limits, to reporting casualties.
    2
  1683.  @J_X999  The west, went through the industrial revolution, colonizing. We made those mistakes, we have learned, are correcting those errors. China has industrialized, in modern times. So they have had the benefit, of example. How to industrialize, in a more sustainable way. Or, how to do it, cheap fast and nasty. To all our peril.
    2
  1684.  @J_X999  Other than buying a lot from other countries. I don’t know production figures. My comment, was referring to, that China burns the most coal, of any country. While building more coal fired plants, at home, and abroad.
    2
  1685.  @chanfranc  Good plan.
    2
  1686.  @chanfranc  Mongolians too.
    2
  1687. Thank you, for reporting on what is happening. So few, have the access, the credibility, and the courage.
    2
  1688. It’s like, my parents grew up on simple farms. Where you work hard, but people were good, the land, and food, was clean. China was a rural agrarian society. It could have carried on like that for centuries. But in the madd drive to modernize. They are burning the worlds coal, polluting rivers like crazy, catching all the fish. Starting an arms race. Like this, we all won’t last. There is definitely something beautiful, about simpler ways.
    2
  1689.  @bluehotdog2610  True, but we have to start somewhere. I’m not keen on state sanctioned, summer camp, or organ donor.
    2
  1690. With the air pollution, and increased coal burning. The soil likely has a lot of lead and arsenic. They had leaded fuel not too long ago too.
    2
  1691.  @jacksonchen1482  It’s not so easy. Twice I’ve chosen, wounded souls, with family trauma. That they never get over. My first wife, 25 years of marriage. She was my best friend, we did so many things together. On our wedding day, said. sex? We’re not like the others, we don’t have to do that. My anxiety got so bad, she eventually divorced me. Second one, it’s been 11 years. Same but different. At 62, without a pension to look forward to. I’m worried about two things. Loss of finances, in separation, and making a similar choice again.
    2
  1692. Your viewers always need to be reminded, that you love the country. That’s why you do, what you do.
    2
  1693. You cover such important topics, and there are seven of us watching. Aaaaarrgghh!!! Get the word out, people. It’s everyone’s future.
    2
  1694. He is talking about, how china is f-ing with us. Also, sometimes an outside perspective is valuable. He is right, a great country can bring itself down, with infighting.
    2
  1695. Around Vancouver, we have a lot of this generation immigrants, from China and India. Both come from huge population countries. Both make good neighbours. I worry about the Chinese. Because I don’t know, how many of them, are beholden to CCP propaganda. A group that wants to control the world, at any cost, to “foreigners”. (Older immigrants, are not an issue, they are us)
    2
  1696. It’s like, they are going to cut back, on the coal burning, by 2060. That is suicide. What are these people thinking?? They could have developed, responsibility.
    2
  1697. Encouraging fringe groups, and cultures, to express themselves. Makes the dominant culture, less heavy, adds life, and colour to a society. If we lose the Tibetan culture, the human world will be much diminished.
    2
  1698. We need to take our democracy, more seriously. Like debating, real long term issues. Especially the ones, that are difficult. Get humanitarian minded/small business people in office, rather than more lawyers.
    2
  1699. This is an example of why we must preserve, and visit, support Taiwan. They are not like that. They had their difficulties. But never suffered the indignity of Mao’s four olds, and his successors.
    2
  1700. Like Taiwan, stay awesome.
    2
  1701.  @kiteofdark  Wow, stop right there!! He said Japanese girl. Chinese is so harsh sounding. But Japanese women, wooooooooo. They are so charming.
    2
  1702. I fell for it. Answered a personal add, for travel companion. Travelled, moved in, married, raised stepson. Still pay for everything, she wants a house. I’m still lonely. It’s called marriage.
    2
  1703.  @phuckpootube6231  The Jehovas can be great fun.
    2
  1704. Democracy is suffering. The political extremes, left and right, are too easy to manipulate. While the rich, and big business interests, are running the show. The middle class, needs to relearn how to work together, and be represented.
    2
  1705.  @tylerrobbins8311  Iv'e seen that story, it's a good one.

  1706. I’m not being critical of having a gun. But does it help, when they say, we have your daughter. Now do what we want. Good, we will release her, but we know where all your family members live, and work, etc? Apparently, this is the approach to the protests, now that they have Chinese surveillance equipment. Or have I heard wrong?
    2
  1707. So, who is behind it? Dow chemicals, Monsanto!!
    2
  1708. Same, my stepdad, never spoke of the war. Or had cause to celebrate any of it. He lost his mates.
    2
  1709. And Mao. All leaders, that wouldn’t hesitate, to kill even their own people, for power.
    2
  1710. Appeasement, and a lack of unified resistance. Sounds like, in the south Asian sea, today.
    2
  1711. Gift one to the CCP
    2
  1712. It’s like the CCP flu, dropped on Taiwan.
    2
  1713. Interesting, how the non commonwealth countries, took England's wealth, In it's effort to survive.
    2
  1714. Was it the Canadian HMS Huron, that had the most kills, in the war?
    2
  1715. My neighbour Jill, lived with her now deceased, disabled brother John. He couldn’t walk well, or say many words. I miss his good charm, and ready laugh.
    2
  1716.  @aminaa7909  But not for us, to judge another person. Unless they are causing harm.
    2
  1717. I wouldn’t encourage anyone, to go as far as she has. But I do admire her ability, to feel free, about her sexuality. I was married to the most beautiful, smart, capable, young woman ever. We had a great connection, and understanding. Except, she had three bowel surgeries, as an infant. Had an anxious mom, and a colostomy for much of that time, after six weeks old. Guess what? Everything was great for us, as long as we didn’t go beyond holding hands. Kissing and sex, was not safe, for her. We had a king size bed, so there was no excuse for touching. After 28 years together, I had extreme anxiety, and her, some kind of guilt. Everyone has a story.
    2
  1718.  @alexmajors7915  I mean that. Those who have suffered the most pain, can go two ways. Broken and bitter, or appreciate how precious every day can be. While quick to spot a bad actor, and not afraid to do something about it.  Look at the survivors of the holocaust, Some were alive, but never lived again. Others became amazing psychologists, doctors, artists, musicians. Peace in your heart.
    2
  1719. Knowing what you know. You could be a great protector. And maybe a hell of a good dad.
    2
  1720. Please don’t say, divine intervention. Around couples, experiencing infertility.
    2
  1721. I’m in my 60’s. My grandma had the “best” stories. Back in the good old days. Mostly men, could get away with, a lot of very bad behaviour.
    2
  1722. You need ID for alcohol, a licence to drive. But any mean broken a-hole, can have kids.
    2
  1723. In the 70’s, it was normal to work the bugs out, after you bought the car. Repeat trips, back to the dealership.
    2
  1724. I bet there’s a few old guys in Georgis, who’ve lost the house, an arm, and a leg. It’s a far too common ailment, called divorcis.
    2
  1725. Don’t worry, China is happy to fill the gap. Ohh!! 🦨💩🍯
    2
  1726. What’s wrong with all those old fashioned Christian things? Like love your neighbour, and help the poor. Woke things.
    2
  1727. He made a deal with us last time he was dear leader. He tore everything up, and fucked us over. (Best deal ever, in history, bla bla bla). Now again? I don’t think so. Canada. 🇨🇦
    2
  1728. Well, there goes my VIX options. Spend to prosperity, is still working.
    2
  1729. Wow, this is the first time, I’ve heard this talked about. As a kid, I chewed my nails. Till having some success in life. As an adult, face picking, as self comfort. In a no intimacy, high anxiety marriage. (On my own, it clears up). It can be a life time issue.
    2
  1730. Hey, it's tough out there. Everything modern humans do, is at the expense of the natural world. Upon which we rely. 0 impact? Walk naked, eating leaves, and grass. Caveman, was as advanced, as we are going to get.
    2
  1731.  @dingalarm  Unconditional love, is a misnomer. If you really love someone, you do not accept some behaviour. Like being self destructive, or having self hatred. The dogs were alerting him to a problem, they are protective.
    2
  1732. You could also say, that China never misses a chance to embarrass itself. 💩🍯
    2
  1733. Who is going to protect Russia from China?
    2
  1734. “Sowing distrust, and spreading rumours” That is phrased exactly, how the Chinese police state, uses its vague laws, to put anyone away. As much as Trump is a horrible person. Check the source on that clip.
    2
  1735. Listening to an audiobook, is not nearly the benefit of a real book.
    2
  1736. Musk will regret too. Copy and paste, Tesla.
    2
  1737.  @ooooneeee  I don’t think so. If China gets TSMC, it has power over the world. Invading Tibet, was a power play, to control water. Invading the Chinese sea, is military control over shipping, fishing, and resources.
    2
  1738. Right off the start, with these conversations. It is often assumed, that god has gender. How can a singular, omnipotent being, have gender? Where the H, does that come from? Oh, full circle, men wrote the texts.
    2
  1739. He went to the can to what! I couldn’t understand what he was saying.
    2
  1740. Identifying as a non believer. Can we rephrase that, in some way? Not constrained by one prescribed view, but open to all possibilities,
    2
  1741. 1939-45 is long enough.
    2
  1742.  @turbolq4  yup, twice as many booms, per stroke, and a blower, going twice that.
    2
  1743. Do Italian’s say, Zeeee?
    2
  1744. One of the advantages not mentioned. Was the German planes, couldn’t fight very long, and still get home. While the RAF fighters, being close to base, had more air time.
    2
  1745.  @drwzer  Theres more to long term survival, than endless economic expansion. Everything we do, as modern humans, consumes the nature, that we rely upon. A steady decline, would give a sliver of hope. Proof? read up on China's coal burning, and their fishing fleet.
    2
  1746. I appreciate the commentary. But I came here, for Mr Atkinson. To hear what, he said.
    2
  1747. Protect Taiwan. One war, is too many.
    2
  1748. Only for, a few seconds, it would have.
    2
  1749. Thank you for your reminder. That being a good loving person. Is free, to all of us. You don’t need to commit, intellectual suicide, to be that way.
    2
  1750. Peacefully, not likely. They've tried before.
    2
  1751. It's strategically important, but really really environmentally important. To get production, of all these metals, sourced in North America, or Europe. Especially rare earth metals.
    2
  1752. The world needs a stable USA. To have predictability, in its foreign policy. The CCP is on a campaign of imperialism, and unconventional warfare. With Trump, it’ll be policy chaos again. The USA will further lose its stature, of a unifying counter to China. I don’t care which party. Just make sure the next leader, is tough, but mostly, brings people together.
    2
  1753.  @markuc  You are not the average Chinese prisoner. Working on your social credit score. I can’t imagine what position you are in. To be supporting, a repressive regime. Good luck to you.
    2
  1754. The colourful snake, with orange hair.
    2
  1755. They don’t stand for anything, that Jesus taught.
    2
  1756. @alias6989 It takes a lot of courage, to say that to your parents. So yes to your question. Of course he is confused, but feels strongly enough, to communicate. A lot of patience, a safe environment, and a lot of talk, would be required. I'd be proud as a parent, to know my child feels safe enough, to talk to me about a difficult topic. He could also say, I hurt someone, I'm in a gang, I'm doing drugs, my gf is pregnant. If your child is scared of you, they won't tell you. The chance to help them through difficult times, may be missed.
    2
  1757. It may not be civil in the states. But after a little get together. You don’t worry about what’s in your drink. Or going near upper floor windows.
    2
  1758. Social credit score. In China. They’ve had it for years.
    2
  1759. The pain of parents. How does a father, protect against a gang? It is a father’s duty to protect.
    2
  1760.  @lppoqql  Does that mean, you hate the Chinese government?
    2
  1761. When you’re friends are, Iran, North Korea, and China!!!
    2
  1762. My first thoughts are, is the government honest, follows the rule of law, property rights, and low debt.
    2
  1763. It’s a shame, that our manufacturers have to operate, under enforced human rights, labour, and environmental laws.
    2
  1764.  @wandererj4437  You haven’t heard, that it is now, a surveillance state. It no longer has freedom of speech, or an independent judiciary. The promise of two systems till 2047, was quashed by Beijing. Personally, I’m sad to say, that it is no longer, a safe and wonderful, place to visit.
    2
  1765. Three points. There is no way I’m financing someone’s education. If they are going to end up earning 70-80-90-100k+ per year. University shouldn’t cost so much. Is it like the medical system? For corporate benefit, not the public. Aren’t a lot of universities, already getting Chinese hush money? Dibs on new research.
    2
  1766. Imagine the yelling. If it had been a Democrat. That tossed ten unproductive trillion into the economy. Just to postpone the collapse, till after his term.
    2
  1767. You can always trust, a thief.
    2
  1768. Criticism, getting mad, is so easy. Give those people, something to live for, to hope for. How does that happen? This is a bigger societal problem. Healthy people, don’t want to kill themselves with poison.
    2
  1769. You nailed it.
    2
  1770. Don’t ask a politician. Ask the front line people, who are trying their best to help. What is needed. Get serious about these drugs, coming from China, through Mexico.
    2
  1771. On most burgers, it isn’t even cheese. It’s a coloured oil/soy product. Free, no thanks.
    2
  1772. The human rights abuses in Tibet, never get a mention.
    2
  1773. You have higher values. ❤️
    2
  1774. Man, that’s a good one to know. I was in an abusive relationship for 25 years. I was about to die and there. Didn’t have the sense, to take the signs seriously. “I can stick it out, there’s good bits“ ha!!
    2
  1775. That’s where it gets interesting. If the world electrifies more, enough for lots of electric cars, solar panels, and wind turbines. We need many times more copper, than what has been discovered.
    2
  1776. Are you saying, that east Taiwan. Will one day, be a peaceful prosperous democracy?
    2
  1777.  @bramblej1084  You may have dodged a bullet. We should be able to laugh at misunderstandings, and not get so triggered. Further to my comment before. Some find the catch thrilling, it is. But not the follow through.
    2
  1778. My kids, think I’m a creepy old man. But I just like being close to nature. Lying naked on the moss in the forest, meditating on the life force of nature.
    2
  1779. Sounds like my marriage.
    2
  1780.  @raskult Ok, my wife has guilt and anxiety about sex. So same thing, she feels pain, with penetration. It isn’t a positive experience for either of us. I don’t look at her admiringly. She doesn’t feel like an object. We are stuck. Normal, is being with the one you love, and doing your best.
    2
  1781. Permanently incapable? Are you 96 years old?
    2
  1782. Do you talk to strangers, children, old people? It can change your perspective.
    2
  1783. With tech getting more sophisticated, and invasive. Get out, be with people, it's our only hope. Turn that stuff off.
    2
  1784. Yes, I was married for 28 years. To someone who was, never able to say she loved me. We had a king size bed, so there was no excuse for touching. (I knew she loved me, she would touch my foot, with her foot). Ten years later, she is still the one, I fell in love with. But I know, being closer, just feels empty.
    2
  1785. Hey you lonely friends, we haven’t met yet. Get off your phones, join a club, or outdoor activity group. You don’t know who you will meet. While getting healthier.
    2
  1786.  @MessiXRonaldo_VoiceOvers  You may find, that Islam, can be a loving inclusive religion. If it wasn’t interpreted, by entrenched old men. Look how the Taliban misuse it, to their political ends.
    2
  1787. If video games are that important. You’re not ready, for a relationship.
    2
  1788. Trump is an obvious in your face threat. He doesn’t understand, or do subtleties. Be very careful, with China and Russia setting up bases on your land. Will they leave, if you decide to ask them to? 🇨🇦❤
    2
  1789. They scare the ….. out of me. So many mainland Chinese have a victim mentality. A thin skin. And they have promised to built 1300 nukes.
    2
  1790. If you order a hit. You should do at least the same time, as the hit man. No exceptions.
    2
  1791. I’ll be so sad, if Trump throws the brave people of Ukraine, under the bus.
    2
  1792.  @Underratedcommentator I’ll give you a reason. We are all learning, and stumbling through life. Understanding each others hurts and failings. Opens the door, to healing each other, ourselves. If you ignore past trauma, it’ll come out, some other way.
    2
  1793. You don’t know any Serbs?
    2
  1794.  @clarejennings5049 That’s the joke. Satan is as real as God. Only if you believe in the Christian god. It’s a fear trap, to keep you in line. Kind of evil, isn’t it?
    2
  1795.  @windowsVD  It may be a joke here. But it is real serious, for a lot of other people. (the politically inconvenient). Tibetan's, Uighur's, Falun Gong, political activists.
    2
  1796. Hungry? No, depressed. Tibetan’s, consider the rivers sacred. They would not, have dammed them. If they were not, an occupied country. Same with the oceans. Look up, the Chinese fishing fleet. Or Chinas contribution, to sea and air pollution.
    2
  1797. As bad as these apps can be. WeChat is the Chinese government. They are intent on destroying us. Think re-education camps, organ donor, etc. like in Tibet and east Turkestan. Now Myanmar, Solomon Islands, and many other places.
    2
  1798. In one ear, and out the other. It missed.
    2
  1799. The only country, capable of the peaceful transfer of power? Not the only country.
    2
  1800.  @damiantoth8577  Draining the swamp, was giving the corporations a tax break? The lobbyists, that wag the dog. Trump would love to be taken seriously, by corporate America.
    2
  1801. Not funny, it’ll be the whole world. With captain chaos.
    2
  1802. Was this truth canceled? You heard it here, I heard it here. You responded to it. How is that canceled?
    2
  1803. Please do not mention Venezuela. As a country where the people, own the resources. Like Trump wants, the wealth stays at the top.
    2
  1804. There is a problem with that. Chinese colonialism is alive and growing.
    1
  1805. Do we have to burn down the White House again? To get you guys to back off?
    1
  1806. These countries, may lose their autonomy. They should look at how China treats its occupied territories, before signing deals.
    1
  1807. So why do they worship Mao in China? After murdering the most people.
    1
  1808. I’ll believe him, when he says, take corporate kleptocracy out of Medicare, and other programs. It should be for all, at half the cost.
    1
  1809. Prevent another Ukraine, support, and defend Taiwan.
    1
  1810. Prevent this, in Taiwan, and the Asian sea countries.
    1
  1811. It’s been a kleptocracy for a long time. Get the corporate lobby out of politics. Drain the swamp, get the middlemen out of services and healthcare.
    1
  1812. Neve miss a chance at propaganda. Make the “ownership” of a species, political.
    1
  1813. Please don't reference, Tok Tok.
    1
  1814. Liberate Ukraine. Liberate, the South China Sea.
    1
  1815. Ships with Chinese cargo, are signalling, all Chinese crew. What’s up with that??
    1
  1816. Is it true, the Houthi are not targeting, Chinese shipping?
    1
  1817. Easy, China is still China. The world still has overcrowded slums, and factory scale farming. Yes, there will be another pandemic.
    1
  1818. Bet China has one too.
    1
  1819. Stories like this can be covered. But we can’t say W…. Flu?
    1
  1820. Like China, becoming a member??
    1
  1821. Did Mao, know how many he killed? Or his new successor?
    1
  1822. All the more reason, to help Taiwan. Before this madness happens, again.
    1
  1823.  @marcusonesimus3400  Very well said. You don't have to be christian, to understand the personal power, of forgiveness.
    1
  1824. Like feeling bad, you got caught.
    1
  1825.  @babuvangu7220  Chinese supported, Russian claims. If you want to believe, team A-holes.
    1
  1826. The left right divide, is so destructive. Come together people, talk to each other. Don’t give cancer, room to spread.
    1
  1827. Wait!! He did go on to say, the votes will be counted, whoever wins, there will be a smooth transition. Sounded very clear to me. After a nod to his boss. Time for cooler heads.
    1
  1828.  @infiniteworfare5089  If you focus in the isn'ts, in life. Avoiding the challenges. You set yourself up, for a long a difficult journey.
    1
  1829. What’s great about America is. It’s not a theocracy. It’s not a dictatorship. It’s freedom for all people.
    1
  1830. Couldn’t it have been brought down, in a controlled manner? Keeping it intact. Rather than dunked in the ocean.
    1
  1831. And then last.
    1
  1832. Keep Taiwan safe, support them. One war, is too many.
    1
  1833. Defend Ukraine. Protect Taiwan. Free Tibet.
    1
  1834. Prevention, prevention. Support Taiwan, and the Asian sea nations.
    1
  1835.  @tianxiabai1185  We both know why. They can't say it, for fear of losing access to the worlds biggest market. The CCP uses that as a threat.
    1
  1836.  @kamsunleong6648  If they wanted to join up with China, they would have by now. Go visit Taiwan, it's a great place, with great people. Leave them alone, let them live their lives, in peace.
    1
  1837.  @jackxie1073  Did you say, Tibet, and Xinjiang, the nine dash line area?
    1
  1838. Posting my comment below. I was warned of, inappropriate language!!!
    1
  1839. Chinese connected companies are legally required to give their military access to their/our data, key stroke history, locations, and id. How do we firewall that?? Freedom? Try saying Wuhan flu, in the west, on a Chinese app. Or even on big media, that is scared to lose favour, with Beijing.
    1
  1840. As good as his news is. The biggest dictatorship, is still spreading its influence, surveillance apparatus, and military.
    1
  1841.  @michellebrown4903  They are amongst a group of countries. Where those in power, have a tight grip, on controlling free speech, and the people.
    1
  1842.  @michellebrown4903  The person, who started this thread, Cole. Is saying hope for the world. I agree with them. I’m saying, the big threat is China. They are colonizing through force, or deals with dictators. Destabilizing the west, with their media and political influence.
    1
  1843.  @michellebrown4903  The CCP is not religious. They model the playbook.
    1
  1844. Please use this to heal your country. Be a strong, respectable USA again. I don't want to end up, in a CCP sponsored "summer camp". If Trump did one good thing, it was to shine a light, on some of the horrible things, the Chinese government is doing.
    1
  1845. Tech, is such an enigma. Every time we advance technologically. Our population correspondingly goes up. Creating ever greater pressures, on the natural world. That we ultimately rely upon, to survive.
    1
  1846. China loves this. If they can swing it. They will have another North Korea, Tibet, Xinjiang, but with huge resources.
    1
  1847. It doesn’t matter how bad they treat their people. Or even worse, those in the occupied territories, or the religious.. We will happily buy their EV’s, to save a few bucks.
    1
  1848. The USA is facing a similar threat with Trump. He has promised to change the rules, if he gets in again.
    1
  1849.  Rich Perez  You are right. There isn’t room for us. To tie leaves to our asses, and go back to the forest. Me? My home is rented, my kids are adopted. My car is old, not a big truck. It carries my tools, for maintenance work. My hobbies are paddling, biking, and hiking. I have a veggie garden, with a water feature for critters. The biggest thing is, trying to not, buy new stuff, use less energy. Recycling, is after, its out there. For fun, pointing out the hypocrisy of, for example. Coal powered Tesla’s, in China. It feels better, pretending that we can slow this down, buy some time. I’ve been to China, I’m married to one. So I know, that Russia is not the greatest threat, the Chinese leaders are. They will sacrifice anything, to get something, and are paranoid bitches. It’s only a red button. Think of the jealous husband. That can kill himself, and his family. On that note, it’s time to go do something, with my kids. When we are gone, the earth will adapt, and recover.
    1
  1850. Not about a corrupt government, having absolute control?
    1
  1851. Be glad, you are not from the occupied territories. Like Tibet or Xinjiang.
    1
  1852. It’s always about control, and not having a good vaccine.
    1
  1853. We still have the W,,,, Flu, in the west. Most people have had the shots, or have been exposed to it. So it’s not as serious, any more. In China it’s not just about the lockdowns. It’s also, about a corrupt government, that has absolute control over the people.
    1
  1854. China promised to be a good country, and we always buy the cheapest.
    1
  1855. You said that backwards. It sounds like California has the massive coal problem.
    1
  1856. Back to normal is not good enough. There are still horrible, human rights abuses, in the occupied territories. Or with the religious.
    1
  1857. How dare they. Only the government, can speak for the people.
    1
  1858. They even had, Zombie drivers.
    1
  1859. When your friends are, North Korea, China, and Iran. You know, you’re doing well. Free Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, South China Sea. Taiwan is awesome, protect it.
    1
  1860. My beef, with Elon is, he is beholden to the CCP.
    1
  1861. Prevention. Protect Taiwan.
    1
  1862. I’m not American. But the disruption of another trump term terrifies me. The world needs a pragmatic, team player USA. While China is trying to bring us all down. He was right, to try to shut down TikTok, tho.
    1
  1863. I bet they’d learn fast.
    1
  1864. It’s nice to hear of a system designed to work for the people. It’s like, everyone with a driver’s licence, should be an organ donor. Unless they opt out.
    1
  1865. Now with all the thousands of cameras, this would not get out.
    1
  1866. They give him a $5, and a $4?
    1
  1867. Funny, not to compare him with Xi. The little emperor. Who is modelling himself, after the greatest mass murderer.
    1
  1868. Every country on the border with China, has a problem.
    1
  1869.  @MrMelgibstein  My point is. When the heck, did schools become “security zones”. They shouldn’t need, to be.
    1
  1870. It’s the schools fault. It’s the teachers fault. It’s the children’s fault.
    1
  1871. When your friends are, Iran, North Korea, and China. It must be, a good cause, you’re fighting. Not!!
    1
  1872. No mention, of Chinas ministry of truth. Working hard, to undermine the west, and other countries. While hiding, their own crimes, and expansionism. The CCP would love, to make Russia, into another Tibet, Xinjiang, or North Korea. With all its massive resources.
    1
  1873. The easiest change, is to stop buying Chinese products. They are building two new coal plants a week. Not to mention, their military expansion.
    1
  1874. The CCP is loving, this lack of civil discourse. The far left, the far right, are pointing, and yelling. It’s giving the CCP proof, that a dictatorship is better??? What happened to manners, and respect, for all points of view?
    1

  1876.  @IWasOnceAFetus  OkOk, yes, Carlin does cut through the crap. To get to the point. But that doesn’t change, or fix anything.

  1877.  @IWasOnceAFetus  These issues, are far too complicated, and nuanced. To argue back and forth, on this kind of format. Making assumptions, of each other.

  1878.  @JohnStockton7459  I don’t know about you. But seeing the degradation of nature. The crowding, and poverty, in most of the world. It’s plain to see, there are way too many of us. Eating this beautiful place, turning it into plastic garbage. At least we could focus, on a better life, for those who are here already.

  1879. It's so nice of China, to enable the regime.

  1880. You ever hear of a guy called Xi? Running surveillance, and propaganda app's, on all of us.

  1881. Don't worry, They have copied enough tech, to flood us with cheap EV's, solar panels, etc. Thanks, Apple, Tesla, etc. (if we don't smarten up)

  1882. Good point.

  1883. A happy dictator, could have heard. That the last fertile Uighur woman, is living with a Chinese man. Evil smile.
    1
  1884. They are only showing, what they want to show, anyway. The real talk, is in private. But knowing Mandarin, would allow you to see, the home propaganda in China. The messaging contrast. There is a group of Chinese, who care about their country, that show it. The Great Translation Movement.
    1
  1885. Huge jealousy, within Team-a-holes. Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, other dictators, etc

  1889. China held the two Michael’s, for a very long time. We don’t like Trudeau, for a lot of reasons. But he held that Huawei exec, at the Mike’s expense, till the USA caved.

  1890. Darkest moments? Today, there is nuclear testing, in occupied Xinjiang. But we don’t hear anything about it.

  1891. Just wait, till we are in a deep depression.

  1892.  @SuperHyee  Or the south Asian Sea, or the west Philippine sea. Whatever you call it. A country can’t draw a dashed line on the map, and just take it.

  1900.  @texajp1946  When you say, that China freed the Tibetans, from their culture and religion. We know, that you are speaking, from the propaganda play book. Yes China is a leader in various technologies, after stealing it, and adapting it. Burning all the worlds coal, and building more plants, is organic, but not green. Fishing out the worlds oceans, is also suicidal. Speaking of suicide, being healthy, not Han, or religious. Can get you volunteered, for organ donor, or work camp.
    1
  1901. The poor old environment, and Tibet, seem to get lost, in all the noise.

  1902. Speckled grey, with a yellow stripe.

  1903. He has created a power vacuum, around himself. Worse than Xi? Hopefully the transition of power, isn't ugly.

  1904. Support the independent country of Taiwan. Prevent another tragedy.
    1
  1905. Liberate, Xinjiang, Tibet, the South China Sea. Same evils, just out of sight.
    1
  1906. The biggest tragedy, of having guns in the home, is suicide. This gets, very little coverage. But it’s huge.
    1
  1907.  @sarapieion  Are you saying? They have, responsible gun ownership. Sounds like a good idea. We don’t drive our cars, while intoxicated. Or without insurance, registration, and a license. That doesn’t stop us, from driving most everywhere.
    1
  1908.  @luvmusic4507  You missed my point. I’m saying a country can have lots of guns. Without the social tragedy.
    1
  1909. Ask a Uighur or Tibetan, if they are enjoying occupation.
    1
  1910. When we buy Chinese products. We finance their military buildup, and aggression.
    1
  1911.  @benginaldclocker2891  By definition, you are correct by saying contested. My point is. China has contested border problems with 17 countries. They keep redrawing their national map, each time, to include more of their neighbours territory. As long as the narrative is contested and reunification. Or investing in other countries. It doesn't sound like aggression, colonialism, debt trapping, or elite capture. Look up Chinese fishing fleet, and marine militia. Contested is the correct term. But it is being used, for propaganda. They say territory, we say contested, while they build military outposts on the South China Sea atolls.
    1
  1912.  @benginaldclocker2891  Continuing the narrative, is like saying Taiwan Reunification. The lies get traction, after a while.
    1
  1913. Why do you say contested? When it’s in Philippine waters.
    1
  1914.  @loranekenyon8174  We forget, the same thing has been happening to the Tibetan’s, and inner Mongolians.
    1
  1915.  @AlE-kc7yw  Don’t forget, the vaccine policy, is not benevolent. China asks countries, to cut any support for the free country of Taiwan.

  1916. Good luck world. They are paranoid old men. With intense propaganda, and a growing military.

  1921. Wiping out any opposition. Is called, anti corruption.
    1
  1922. My only concern with Biden. Is he may be soft on China. Trumps unpredictability, was probably good, to challenge the CCP. Diplomacy is good with allies, but with some, you put the hammer down.
    1
  1923. News flash! If you are not native. You were an immigrant, at some point, That’s who built this country.
    1
  1924. Do remember, where your electricity is coming from. We don’t want coal powered Tesla’s, like in China.

  1928. I came here, to see if it’s true that Chinese teas have a lot of pesticides. Compared to India, or Africa, produced teas.
    1
  1929. That was a very localized coastal event. Not in the mountains. For my 2cents worth, Japan is more of a high trust society. Than some other places, especially China.
    1
  1930. A great thing about Martetplace. Is, the story is more important. Than a childish, blowing their cover drama. Sleazy companies, likely know each other, or are run by one family.
    1
  1931. Despite there being way too many people. I hope Mr Peterson, sees room for all kinds of people, as equals.
    1
  1932. We need to get tough on the CCP. Get our act together. While the US is navel gazing. They are still building islands, in the S China sea. Ask a Uighur, Mongol, or Tibetan, how life is now. Canada, enough being nice!!
    1
  1933.  @cs3818919 Why GDP, is a horrible measure. Of the health, and productivity, of an economy.

  1938. Prevention saves lives. Defend Taiwan.

  1939. As long as, the nuts and corn, aren't recycled.
    1
  1940.  @MrRemnants  Now that we rely on, an industrialized lifestyle. It’ll take a full collapse, to get us off it. Buying an EV, or solar panels from China, doesn’t slow it down at all. They are ramping up the coal plants, for reliable electricity. At such a scale, it’ll kill us for sure. (Probably has already).
    1
  1941.  @purpleflowerpunk So far, every step of technology, from fire and spears onwards. Has made us able to continuously increase in numbers. At some point, it’ll be just too much, for paradise. How much pristine nature is left, none.
    1
  1942. I’m quite an even keeled person. But my wife has really strong insecurities. That come out, as a really easily triggered anger response. It’s like, she wants to have an argument. Not responding, but later saying I don’t appreciate it. Think that helps?
    1
  1943. A note on the red meat, like our other foods. How it’s grown and fed/nurtured. Reflects on how good for us it is. We get our beef from my cousins farm. After buying the calf, and the butcher costs, it’s his own hay for feed. They run free outside in the cold, all winter. At cost, it still costs more per lb, than in the store? Makes you wonder about, commercial hormones, feed, and living conditions.
    1
  1944. Psoriasis? I’m healthy, but have an overactive immune system. Any gut health things for us?
    1
  1945. Our world is so unbelievably complex. Yet we think, it’s easier to terraform, an empty planet. Did a few billionaires.
    1
  1946. Get these ordinary good people, into politics.
    1
  1947. And all the other surrounding countries.
    1
  1948. Always remember that Tibet, is China too.
    1
  1949. When all the strong brave young men are gone. I sure hope, that China doesn’t take advantage. Russia has everything, that China wants.
    1
  1950. Go visit Taiwan, it’s an awesome place, with wonderful people. It may be broken one day. A fellow Canadian, saying this to you.
    1
  1951. I’m more worried about China. They seem quite set on colonialism, and militarism. While facing a downturn domestically. War may be the best deflection, against domestic discontent.
    1
  1952. That’s how Xi sees the world, as his.
    1
  1953. Young guy is traumatized. Comes back, and most people tell him it’s a good war, and it’s going well. Going into a shell, seems a reasonable response.
    1
  1954.  @СерьезнаяШишечка  They are only allowed the official government version. Ask a Tibetan, or Uighur, how many temples and mosques, have been torn down or repurposed. During the occupation.
    1
  1955.  @СерьезнаяШишечка  In 1949 Mao cut ties with the old China. With any religion, that doesn't worship the party. Yes there are believers in China, but it's not easy. The Dalai Lama is in exile. While they flood more valleys, destroying monasteries. Tibetan children, are forced to assimilate. You can't take the Bible into China. Because they have a communist party version, for the people. You definitely don't want to be a Uighur. I don't know what they have done to Taoism. But if it's like the others, it's been rewritten.
    1
  1956. Strangely, in the west. We are restricted from, telling the truth about the CCP?
    1
  1957.  @theskyehiker  Are we talking about China? That’s their specialty.
    1
  1958. Don’t forget a special mention for Mao. He did so much, to break a special people. But never gets on the bad guy list.
    1
  1959. We have forgotten, how to live a simple life. If you want to be environmental, don’t buy a coal built Chinese EV. Just live like these people. It’s sad, to not see families and children there.
    1
  1960. China wants all it’s traditional territory back. From when it was occupied by the Mongolians? How convenient, to tear down their own culture, in 1949. Then to re write the history.
    1
  1961. Ask a mainland Chinese person, about Mao. The real champ, of evil deeds.
    1
  1962. Now I get, what the mean by, Chinas water cooler diplomacy.
    1
  1963.  @augustlongpre64  Then I listen to Gabor Mate, about attachment. It goes right to the core, of your being.
    1
  1964. There are good people in politics, we need to encourage, and support, more of them.
    1
  1965. But they do. That's the point. The majority are/were, good people. In, 30's Germany-Japan, Soviet Russia, Pinochet's Chile, Philippines, Pol Pot's Cambodia, China, USA, etc. How does that saying go? They came for, that guy. They came for them. Then they came for me. The powerful, make their own rules. As much as we let them. Left or Right.
    1
  1966.  @luisdavid7718 A leadership quality person, should be able to respectfully answer, difficult questions. Without resorting to deflection, insults, and victim hood.

  1969.  @eat_pray_love. Yup, trial by fire. Invaded by the Russian army! Hell of a leader.
    1
  1970. After all the incredible strength and bravery, of the Ukrainians. To then just give it to Putin. Who will start again, as soon as he likes. Is the most disrespectful and stupid thing ever. Those two, are really small minded. Continue to be brave and strong Ukraine.
    1
  1971. Respecting the sovereignty of both, very important neighbouring countries? How civilized, keep going, be great again.
    1
  1972. We never saw the ear. Or the medical record. In any legit scenario, that doesn’t make sense. Trump is not shy, he loves any attention.

  1973.  @canonfodder6966  Did you say businessman? I thought, he is a narcissist conman, silly me.

  1976. Now we have Mao 2.0. Eager to do it, all over again.
    1
  1977. I was replying, to someone. Referring to "america", as a country, not a continent. Like Asia, or Europe, are not each one country. But geographical regions. I think, that is what, Andre Deuner meant.  @googlesucks7840 
    1
  1978. Took over?? We love our countries too. Nobody want's to be bullied, invaded, and assimilated. Ask a Tibetan, a Hawaiian. Or, the native people of North and South America. PS; (USA, is a country, america, is a geographical region, like Asia, and Europe) You also ask, if we would like to join you? But for the politics. Most people in the USofA, like anywhere else, are fantastic people. The average Russian, or Chinese, are great too. Since you did ask. You could work on your political division. Ideas, of exceptionalism. And insistence, to treat guns like toys. (The Swiss, all have guns, but they are not, for shooting each other) I'm not going to argue about, my response to you.

  1979. If they came in a wagon, or estate style. I’d trade in my Volvo. (Don’t tell anyone, I said that)

  2008. Good thing for all of us. The CCP has promised, to continue to increase, its suicidal levels of coal burning. Maybe, having over a billion people, wasn’t such a good idea.

  2023. Going from millions of petroleum powered cars, that can last decades. To electric cars, that require many poisonous metals, mined in countries with child labour. Processed in China, where they are polluting us all. Making two new coal plants a week. Giving his tech to China. That is aggressively building out it’s military. Promising to build 3000 nukes. Every time we create “better” tech. We really just find a way to eat up more of the natural world. Make more room, for more people. Without nature, we all fall down.
    1
  2024. I just don’t like, that it’s wide open, for CCP propaganda.
    1
  2025. Elon, may not have been allowed, to have an opinion. He has been a voice, for the CCP. Since his company, and wealth, is completely reliant, on their favour. He did say, Taiwan “reunification”. By any measure, that is inexcusable.

  2033.  @WindTurbineSyndrome  I agree with you. The world needs the USA to be a strong but fair leader again. With the other western allies. The CCP is set to divide, and conquer. I can’t believe that such a big country, can’t find a decent president.
    1
  2034. The world, needs a strong, fair, engaged USA. The CCP is dividing us, any way they can. Boots in Taiwan. Teamwork with allies. Or we all fall.

  2035. Deterrence please. China only responds to strength. Don’t let another war happen. They can spin out of control, very fast.

  2036. How about, well funded “Tibetan” buddhist churches. The Tibetan’s are an occupied nation. The expats don’t have that kind of money. But the Chinese government does. It discredits the Dalai Lama, tears down their temples. While promoting a communist party version. Yes another home, for spying on overseas Chinese.
    1
  2037.  @ethanm8093  Well yes, I am married to a Chinese born woman. But seriously, look up "the four olds". Mao and his successors, did their best to erase traditional Chinese culture, and a hell of a lot of it's people. This is also why Taiwan is so amazing, the people there didn't experience that trauma, and the subsequent thought control.

  2065. They even retained aspects of Chinese culture.

  2066. Wishing for peace, is nice. But awareness, is a first step, in prevention. If we don’t know of China’s military expansion, and aggression. We will keep supporting them, buying their products.

  2067. When a corrupt government, works with a corrupt government. This is what you get. Serbia, now has bad air pollution. Because the Chinese built, dirty coal power plants. It is not what the people want. According to my Serbian friends.

  2068.  @stephenbermingham6554  The other countries have overlapping claims, with each other. That makes them weak.

  2069. The ccp’s aggression. Should provide more than enough motivation. For all the regional countries, to settle their territorial disputes. Stop arguing amongst yourselves.

  2071. May Taiwan, also exist, peacefully.

  2072.  @verbalkint4258  Nice idea. Every time our population doubles. What happens to the natural world? Is it preserved, or consumed. Why does China need the resources, of other countries? Too many people.

  2073. Share? There’s Billions of us

  2074. Book burners, Nazis, the CCP, and Americans?
    1
  2075. A warning to the world. For the oppressed, freedom of speech, is the only tool they have. The CCP is giving, or selling, its surveillance system. To other criminal organization governments, around the world.

  2076. The good old, Chinese nationalists. Celebrating, all the bad things, that happen.
    1
  2077. Sadly, in geopolitics. South Korea, would be terribly vulnerable, with China on its border. China would be more paranoid, than it is. To have South Korea, at its border. They may actually prefer, the status quo.

  2078. If China wasn’t benefiting from, free labour work camps, and NK resources. It would collapse, a lot faster.

  2087. That doesn't mean, the Chinese aren't fishing there. Look up, Chinese fishing fleet. They are stripping the worlds waters.
    1
  2088. I sure hope you are right. But even here in Vancouver. I’m married to a Chinese born woman, and step son. They refuse to entertain, that the CCP could be involved, in any human rights abuses. The Tibetan’s were liberated. The Uighur’s are terrorists. China is environmentally friendly, not the greatest coal market. Or fishing out the worlds oceans. The propaganda, has a long reach.

  2097.  @MeiinUK  hi May, They use these locations, to aid in coercing expats, to do their dirty work. They show a relative in China, sitting in the local police station. With the implied threat, do what we want, or? Always remember, it’s not the Chinese people, who are the problem. It’s the gangsters, running their country, that have no morals. There are some really good YouTube channels. That understand, for more than I ever will. Laowhy86, ADVchina, Serpentza, check out their old stuff. They have a lot of experience, and really care about China. Lei’s real talk, she is like another concerned adult. China Uncensored, if you want to laugh, while you cry.

  2098. Coincidence? These F,,,,,, I just had a call from. "Chinese embassy, bla bla bla", in Mandarin. Only a minute or two, after posting, my WHO etc, comment.

  2101. So sad. Is government, for the people, or just itself.

  2102. Europe, and the USA, are aggressively reducing emissions, and pollution. China had the opportunity, to develop its economy, more responsibly. They are still building, more coal fired plants. Biden, is not deflecting, he is calling out, the a-holes in Beijing.
    1
  2103.  @ahsanulkarimshetu4634  Sorry, they said (as a developing nation). They can increase their CO2 output, till 2030.
    1
  2104. Europe and the USA, are reducing their emissions. China could have developed its economy, a lot more responsibly. They are still building more coal burning plants. It’s not blaming, it’s calling the CCP a-holes.
    1
  2105. I can’t find any reference, to the Seltzer Sea name.
    1
  2106. Don’t lose hope. The CCP has promised, to build 3000 nukes.

  2107. Hopefully the delay, is in not using Chinese equipment.

  2108. There is a great Chanel, on YouTube. 1420, a young guy interviews Russian people, young-old, city-county.
    1
  2109. There’s a slick, YouTube channel, getting lots of views. Promoting the Russian, and Chinese manipulation. The algorithm, is constantly boosting it, at least to me. It’s called, Redacted. I’m sure there’s others.

  2112. Problem now is. China is doubling down, on the imperialism.
    1
  2113. Why does the greatest mass murderer, Mao, always get a pass?? The new guy, is modelling himself, on Mao. Scary times.
    1
  2114. We never learn. China is now doing the same thing. Through financial, political, bribery, surveillance, and misinformation. Protect Taiwan, its success is an existential threat to the CCP.
    1
  2115.  @larapalma3744  No not me. But if you follow this stuff. You can see, that the CCP, has a very large and serious, propaganda department.
    1
  2116.  @rsokol71  My question, is more of a pondering. Chinese people are strong defenders, of the strong family notion. That they somehow, are more family oriented, than other cultures. What I’ve seen is the opposite. Communism has broken, the social bond. It’s all about getting advantage, and saving face. So no matter how bad, things are at home. Losing face is worse. It seems to explain, why the government, also acts like a two year old. Yes, I shouldn’t say private thing’s, in an obscure forum. Where the words, will drift into the soup of noise. It’s a bit of my frustration. Of being with someone, who has a defensive wall up. So no one can ever hurt her. But in reality, it just makes for anger, and no “constructive” outlet. My adult kids, don’t visit, because they are scared of her. Yes, her mom did beat her with a stick. For being interested in a boy. Her earliest years, she was raised by a relative. She did the same to her son, and feels guilty about it. Saying this here, feels like the modern version of. Looking at the night sky, and asking for answers.

  2117. Can we prevent, the invasion of Taiwan?

  2118. Today we buy cheap products. From a big country, with work camps. We can do better.

  2127. Svein Gerald Hansen I totally got your message the first time. I’m in Canada. Where, I’m so grateful to be able to take my elderly parents to the hospital as needed. They are checked in, and out, like it was a hotel, (actually easier, and faster). With no direct cost to me. As a self employed, it’s nice to not be bankrupted, by your parents. Imagine the stress, taking your old dad to the hospital. But our system is under the threat of, a strong business lobby. That wants us to be like the US. They can smell the huge profits. And currently, we have to pay our Dr’s crazy amounts, to discourage them from going south.
    1
  2128. svein gerald hansen What happened to your critic?? Haha
    1
  2129. What about, the many layers of middlemen. The back and forth with the insurance companies. I’m in Canada. My elderly parents, are on a revolving door basis, with their Dr’s, and the hospital. It is so simple, to check them in, and out, like a hotel. When in good enough shape to go home again, they go. Wether a few hours, or a week. Yes it’s us the taxpayer. But only having a single payer, for everything that is needed. Has to be cheaper, and Is far less stressful. The joke here. Is there is a strong business lobby, trying to privatize our system. Follow the money. Don’t be conned, by big business.

  2130. In China, the propaganda has the strongest contrast. Between official policy, and boots on the ground practice. Especially in the occupied territories.
    1
  2131.  @marahkhayyal1152 The official policy, sounds benevolent. While in practice is the opposite. Most Chinese people think, that the Uighur’s and Tibetans, had special privileges. That’s the game they play. When controlling the information.

  2132. If you believe this list, reflects reality. Remember, they also have freedom of speech too…..

  2139. Stop saying reunification, that gives the CCP legitimacy. 🍯

  2140. The twist, is if he ends up playing the CCP.
    1
  2141. Title should be, more about why most living things have side preference, mostly right. The pole beans in my garden, all twist right. Snails twist right, except for Jeremy, and his gf. One in a million. Lodgepole pine, and Douglas fir, start life with a left spiral, pass through zero at mid life, then twist hard right, as they get real old. (I think the twist, resists splitting, when tall and heavy). Red Alder, has the reverse pattern, to the softwoods. ( but, they don’t get that big)? And yes, my cat leads with his right.
    1
  2142. I went down the left/right rabbit hole. After trying to find a bean vine, going left rotation. Most plants and animals are right handed. Some trees switch directions, as they mature.

  2144. Who is that Australian guy, who chases and catches, all kinds of animals?

  2145. Keep Taiwan safe. No war.

  2146. Let’s prevent, the next war. The South China Sea, and Taiwan, need to be supported.
    1
  2147. Also, if there is a way for the corporate lobbyists, and lawyers. To stop running all the significant state institutions. The country may not need to go bankrupt.
    1
  2148. As smart as buying EV’s, and solar panels. From, burning more coal every week, China.
    1
  2149. So true, China only shows us the progress. While they burn all the worlds coal. That’s called suicide. Anything we can do, to stop the coal burning, gives us a chance.
    1
  2150. How is this on scale, and cost. There are so many, smaller communities. That can’t afford already, good quality, conventional treatment.
    1
  2151. Hope they aren’t making these in China. Like the cars, it’ll be copy and undercut.
    1
  2152. You lost me at 76% emissions while off? For a long time, gas stoves don’t have pilot lights. So if they aren’t leaking…

  2153. One of my favourite things. Is watching a clean stream, or river. Doing, what water, was meant to do.
    1
  2154. If you are worried about polluting production and processes. Don’t buy Chinese made.
    1
  2155. One thing that is always missed. As long as we purchase Chinese produced rare metals, solar panels, and cobalt. We are also supporting, much higher pollution, and human rights problems.
    1
  2156.  @aaronvector4750  In BC we sell our surplus hydro power to California. My point was, China burns suicide levels of coal, and it’s increasing. While claiming to be environmentally friendly.
    1
  2157. So, an imf bailout, goes to China!! A Serbian friend, says Serbia now has bad air pollution. Because the Chinese built a coal power plant. They are killing us, and themselves too.

  2161. Don’t forget, Taiwan is still an awesome, and free country. They need protection too.
    1
  2162. Why they invaded Tibet. Water.
    1
  2163. That’s what China threatened with Hong Kong. Cut off power, and water. Then they cut off freedoms. (I’m not saying, that’s what Canada would do).
    1
  2164. It's amazing, how the axis of a-holes. North Korea, Iran, Russia, China, and China's best new friend, the Taliban. Bring all the other countries together, in cooperation.
    1
  2165. How does the Philippines get its islands back, from China?
    1
  2166. The biggest threat. Is driving Russia into allying with China.
    1
  2167. If we cut them off completely. They will end up controlled by China. Who don’t like, any other ethnicities.
    1
  2168. Hurry up. China is burning, all the worlds coal.
    1
  2169. I’m worried about the Philippines. The Marcos, back in power. Plays into corruption, with the Chinese. Rather than, getting their islands back.
    1
  2170. If this is a democratic process. How do you compensate, for the millions of 50 cent army, from China. Saying what they believe to be true. But just the CCP version of events/history. Like, that the sea, was, and should be, Chinese territory? Historical Chinese maps, show their territory, as far south, as Hainan island. The one map, that does show extra territory, was a speculative one, of imagined past glory.
    1
  2171. My biggest worry, is Chinese quality built reactors.
    1
  2172. While we transition, oil and especially gas, are far better. Than the massive coal plant build out in China. Two a week last year. 270 permitted for 2023-4. That is suicide.
    1
  2173. Deciding after, doesn’t work with humans. If we find a new way to burn the planet, it will be used. For example, look at Chinese coal use.
    1
  2174. I think it’s a British program. You’re lucky, it isn’t measured in stone.
    1
  2175. Commercial insurgency, yup, that’s China. (We pay their postal costs)
    1
  2176. Playing nice with China, won’t get the islands back.
    1
  2177. Please. Do not say, re-unification, that is Beijing setting the narrative. If everyone says it, it’s as if it’s true. Having personally been to China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Taiwan really is a special place. They didn’t experience Mao, tearing down the culture. Then being controlled.
    1
  2178. Don’t worry, the population bomb, is still growing.

  2188.  @annasbandit  Ouch, and you’re talking US $

  2189. All these extra medical costs, with some people not having proper dental care. May be why Canada is going to include dental, with medical care.

  2196.  @firemonkey1015  My point is, they may be savage in our eyes. But, if we were like them. The planet, as we know it, would still be here in a thousand years. Our modern civilized chimp brains, are building faster ways to chuck nuclear bombs at each other. Or like China, burning all the coal, striping the seas of fish. Replacing it, with plastic waste.

  2205. A little off topic. But, is there any checking of food products from China. In Vancouver, half the grocery stores, are mostly Asian foods. It all has, crazy long ingredient lists. Just for the horrible pollution, I don’t trust it. But my wife is from Beijing, so that’s mostly what we eat.

  2206. Oh oh, apple belly, and a stressful marriage.

  2207. With fish and shellfish, be very careful. A lot of it is from China. It is either poached, from other countries. Or grown in heavily polluted water.

  2208. Sounds like, an anorexic’s answer. It’s what kind of calories, that can be a problem. A wide variety of unprocessed foods, is healthy. The French eat well, are healthy, and happy.

  2214. It can go the other way. Im also in my 60’s, working all the time, post divorce, getting enough together to survive. When I can no longer work. When I heard that a childhood buddy had had a stroke. It was an epiphany. Now I’m working half time. Have been camping and hiking with my grownup kids. Went over to help Rob and his wife, reconnected with the old gang of friends. Around his recovery, and the other old guys. We were all just distracted by jobs, kids, and working life. Reach out, I’m glad I did.

Last year went 14 kms in the snow, up Garibaldi ridge and back, barefoot in my shorts. The year before any of this, lost 25 lbs, eating simple healthy cheap unprocessed foods. 64, and healthier than in a long time.

  2224. Has anyone read, A Therapeutic Journey? I’m wondering if it’s good for me. I’m 64, happy with life, and love people. But I’m not very good with asserting myself, with authority figures.

  2227.  @angelaa7388  So true, we need to love ourselves first. Before we can truly love, and open up to others. I'm finding that now. On a side note. My grandmother left her nasty husband, at 50-51 years of age, with nothing. To go out on her own. Working as a cook in logging camps. She married the love of her life. My mom did the same, at the same age. Dad was overcome by his controlling jealousy, and killed himself. He intended to take her with him, but she escaped. To remarry, someone who adored her. From a position of emotional strength. I was also 51, when cast adrift. Her family was my family, my home, and my work. Yes I remarried, a similar kind of person. Who is scared to let me in. (and safe for me, to play my rescue others role). After 12 years of being frustrated with each other. We are opening up our hearts and minds, and finding something much deeper. It's taken me 64 years, to find enough acceptance, to feel free. The difficult times, are teaching you.

  2228.  @P9rkour90 Yes she did, divorce me. I would have done the same, I was lonely, and miserable. She saved my life, I was dying there. My life is so much better, I am far happier. She still makes me sad, though. When I see her. She now has a drinking and gambling problem.

  2229. She did say, that the phone related algorithms, are designed to trap our minds. They have to be, to have market share. We are in, the computer AI age. Conspiracy theories, are just as dangerous to society, as not having a clue.

  2239. The feeling of being “god”, of being a part of everything. While at the same time an immeasurably small speck. Is nirvana. My favourite moment last year. Was lying naked on the mossy forest floor. In a secluded place. Surrounded by natural sensations. One with life energy.

  2241. Why does China, get a pass? He is talking about the risk of AI. While right now, China is tracking and persecuting its minorities, and religious, in the occupied territories. He talked of military buildup, China is the most aggressive, scaring its neighbours, and the world. Forcing them to expand their militaries.

  2242. I have this yearning to pilgrimage. Not on a prescribed route, but just head in a direction. For the solitude, connection with nature, and other people. Sometimes I hike on my own, to be in the real world, the grandest cathedral ever. This interview, now has me thinking of my son. Who after work, goes straight to his video games, and can’t sleep without his dope.

  2244.  @Vapour85 Define cheating? When the person you most want to be with, and connect with, isn’t able to do the same. He told her, that he wanted her, but he was lonely for connection. She heard the message, and woke up to being with him. If more people could be thoughtful, and really listen to their partners. Most marriages, if not all of them, could be fantastic. Rather than just getting divorced. To then repeat the same dynamics.

  2252. My luck, I have two wonderful adopted children, and a loving step son. They are all young adults now. (The good part). 13 years into my second marriage, and my wife still fears me. Fear as in scared to open up, and be vulnerable. Based upon her previous relationships. (The frustrating part).

  2253. Better to over estimate them. To be ready, for an unexpected approach. A bigger problem, is the infiltration/bribery around the world. Look at the Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, etc. Huawei, WeChat, TikTok, etc Dependance, on critical supplies, from a self proclaimed enemy. If the pollution doesn’t kill us first.

  2256. I’m completely with you. It’s about expectations. I grew up in Vancouver, the always stupidly expensive city. Same as my parents, the first decade of marriage, and home ownership, meant. Thrift shop, yard sale appliances furnishings clothing, roommates, an old car, a veggie garden, no restaurants, nothing on credit, but the house. You take turns, going to school. That’s how it always was. We survived an 18% mortgage rate. Surprise, it’ll come again. Unwinding 70 yrs of deficits.

  2270. The phrase "good for the environment" is really bad. It makes us feel good when we recycle, buy electric cars, wear farmed clothing. The only thing that i can think of, that we do. That is good for the environment, is habitat restoration.

  2271. Canada was smart, the government instituted Canadian content rules, for radio and television. It has been a large boost to local talent. Creating a lot of great bands, fantastic television, and movie content. Many of us are not happy with the TPP, because under it, can-con is abolished. As well as our, well managed dairy quotas. So we will be flooded with, subsidized, cheaper, hormone milk, and cheese. Putting our own farmers in trouble, with a loss of food security.

  2275. Why was my comment deleted?

  2276. Why didn’t we think of that!! All we have to do, is all stop what we are doing. Turn everything off, and the population goes back to a few million, problem solved. It’s not the economic or political model at fault. Some are worse than others, like in China. Where you burn and pollute, to reach political production targets. The problem is technology, and innovation. We invent fire, weapons, language, we are no longer equal on the savanna. Every time technology advances, in health, sanitation, agriculture, etc. Our population increases, thus consuming more, needing more space, more advance.

  2281.  @questioneverything4491  Hi, That sounds like my idealistic view. I was married for 28 years. To an intelligent, capable, beautiful young woman. Who, as an infant, had numerous bowel surgeries. She went to sleep, with a blankie. I thought that with love and gentleness, she would feel safe. It never happened. In the end, she felt guilty, i was frustrated. And yes, she went for years, to three different therapists. I wasn't invited. Because that would have challenged her comfort level.

  2300.  @GhostofTrufflePast  It sounds like you need some, real life, outside the country experience. I had no idea, that Canadian health care, only covers preventative procedures. I’m 62 years old, have raised a family, and assisted my elderly parents, in their decline and passing. Through all the Dr visits, emergency care, surgeries, home care, and eventually care home. I have been ever grateful, to not have to open my wallet, or argue about a bill. I’m self employed, and never worried about, medically induced bankruptcy. My best friend, has lived 14 years with, a type of Leukaemia, had a stroke two years ago. He was flown by helicopter, from his town,to the best hospital, in the city. He has had a lot of therapy. He is doing well, is now driving, and talking again. Rob is also self employed. He still has his two houses, his boat, and vintage corvette. When you go to any medical care. You give your ID, and in you go, easy easy easy. No arguing, with a gate keeper, insurance company. Yes our system is backed up, in some areas. There is a staff shortage, same as in many professions, right now. We have American friends, who tell of, having to sell property, for moms hip surgery, etc. Wait lists? My daughter is on a wait list, for breast reduction surgery. The Dr said, she has four months to lose forty pounds first. Sounds like a fair deal to me. When a service is essential. Adding layers, of for profit, isn’t in the publics best interest. My 2cents worth.
    1
  2301.  @isa-kw4lw  All these discussions are about who pays. Few are, why it isn’t universal, but still costs more than double, any other countries? Insurance companies, lawyers, big corporations.
    1
  2302. My 2cents worth. If you cut back health care spending by a half. It will still be the most expensive in the world. Still without universal coverage. Introduce competition, with the suppliers of product. Get rid of the lawyers, and insurance companies. Provide health care, for the people, not for big business. Same with the military. When a handful of screws, is shipped on a full pallet, because of the packaging?? It is still needed externally, as defence. Make it lean.
    1
  2303. You’re looking at the wrong end, of the pig. If your name isn’t Steve Austin. How the hell, does two days in hospital, cost $225,000.00? Seems to me, that’s where the problem is. It’s all sewn up, by big business, lawyers, and insurance companies.

I’m more worried, when the market blows, so will real estate, and the economy. The CCP will take full advantage. And we might be, in re-education camps, before we know it.

  2314.  @rexmundi273  Hey Bart, most of my account hedge, is in VIX, and TLT. Back in March, the VIX provided fresh capital. It should work again.

  2319. Atiq, I hear you. A weak, empty partner, can tell you all you want to hear. Be the most wonderful. While pushing you away, from the others in your life. So they can have you, all to themselves. They think, you will complete them. (Believe me, the ego, loves to ride that horse). Eventually they realize, they are still the same, and you are not making them whole. Then you see the anger, and frustration, come at you. They are not bad. But searching externally, for validation. If it isn’t found internally, or through others, organized religion can be a big enough distraction. I’m not, of any great wisdom. Just old enough to know. You need to find your own peace first. Be calm, when approaching relationships. Listen to your gut, don’t hurry it. Be friends, first. All the best to you. Bill.

  2320. Your work is great. But, like in other sciences, academia needs to go slow with accepting new ideas. Just to maintain credibility. When there are so many, who spin these things. Personally I know of two people, who sincerely think they are god’s.

  2322.  @Readmycomment-gm6fe  Everyone says move on. Take the easy way, end up with ? We did try it. It was a real bonding moment. Not crazy bunny sex, as expected. But for her to feel safe, and connected. With herself, and with me. We are cuddling now, when we go to bed. Instead of, looking at our phones. It is developing into something far more meaningful. She is getting in tune with the idea, of deeper connection. Next week, we are going to a Tantra party. At 64, with a life together. Life, and love, is full of surprises.
    1
  2323. Is MDMA worth a try, for my relationship? My wife tells me, that I can never understand, how much she loves me. But she is scared to open up to connection. We sleep with the dog between us, “it’s safe”. He gets lots of hugs and kisses. I get a touch, to see if I’m still there. When someone has buried their traumas. Guarding it, with frustration and anger. Is it safe to try this together?

  2338.  @historigraph  Hello, I was just hinting, at the Canadian navy. It gets little mention. Even though it was quite significant, as the war progressed. My stepdad was on a Canadian minesweeper, ahead of the US D day landing. He said that the US navy told them. If it wasn't cleared by X Hour. They'd be blown out of the water.

  2351.  @skydragon23101979  Nothing wrong with trade development, that's good. Without, western investment, tech transfers, western subsidized shipping rates, forced labour, and massive coal burning, that will kill us all. Two new plants every week, last year. With 270 planned, for the next two years. Read my post above. The only enemy of Taiwan is China. Go there it is a great place, with really polite nice people.

  2352. Fools. If only China could be, a prosperous peaceful democratic country, like Taiwan. We could all be, best friends.

  2353. Stop being a colonizer, would go a long way. With re-establishing international friendships. Stop saying win-win, do win-win. Free Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Hong Kong. The Chinese people want to be good, not oppressed, or oppressors.

Kickbacks, bribery, cutting corners, nepotism. Losing a nuclear sub, was hushed up. Their large Tritium releases, are not well known. Can they hide, a large meltdown?

  2377.  getouthoax  If a Chinese person has been there. I’m sure, an old style map, can be made to include it. Just like the West Philippine sea, Tibet, East Turkmenistan, Taiwan, or any sea, that still has fish, land that has resources.

  2378. So, Korea is traditional Chinese territory.

  2380.  @gringo1723  The Cold War writer. Which story? I'm just referring to. Xi encouraging Putin to throw his army at Ukraine. While they rewrite maps, to include more of their neighbours. Pushing everyone's physical boundaries.  With all it's resources, water, and land, Russia must look pretty yummy, to the CCP.

  2381. How ridiculous. An inquiry into the origins, of a world wide epidemic. Or, genocide, or pollution, or human rights, or WW fishing fleet, or organ harvesting, or mass surveillance, etc.

  2383. Macron went for a little advice. On how to make all forms of public dissent, disappear. How to have total control, and no friends. Being on top in North Korea, and China, is pretty cozy. If you keep your back to the wall.

  2391.  @wetsox278  Exactly. They are different places, with different people. As an example, of what is possible. Taiwan is the hope, for a better China. As long as China can define the narrative, by saying reunification. It will feel like it is a truth.
    1
  2392. Canada, be a player. Start a free trade agreement, with Taiwan.
    1
  2393.  @discursion  I’m guessing, that you are not Taiwanese.
    1
  2394. Please do not say reunification. Let Taiwan determine its narrative. Not the aggressor.
    1
  2395. The financial malaise, can be good news. The CCP could focus on its people. Rather than building its military, harassing other countries, and even giving up its occupied territories. They could have peace, prosperity, and friendship with the world.

  2396. Peng Shuai?

  2397. We cry for Xinjiang, while forgetting Tibet, and organ donors.

  2400. We may be not as bad. But have been piling it up much longer. So probably just as bad.
    1
  2401.  @stlouisix3  What we can do is counter their propaganda, and algorithms. The CCP seems to respond to action, or force, they ignore diplomatic talk and promises. If we collectively call bullshit, on their aggressions. There is a chance at least, of them backing down. Even the new chat GTP, is programmed to avoid "controversial" topics in English. But if you ask in Mandarin, or cantonese, it denies the bad things happen, altogether. So, who is writing the programs? That's a good question.

  2407. Why save something, that is designed to boost the CCP, and hurt us? Ask TikTok about Tiananmen massacre, Uighur camps, Tibetan culture genocide, freedom to criticize the CCP, increasing coal burning, military buildup, aggression towards Taiwan-Philippines-all other neighbours, live organ donation, fishing fleet, abortion, freedom of speech-religion-association-bear arms, etc, vs anything USA and west bad. One is deemed inappropriate content, the other encouraged. We are being 🍯

  2408. Mr water cooler.
    1
  2409. Talking nice, doesn’t change the intent. Are they still building two new coal plants a week. Building up the military. Harassing Taiwan. Forced assimilation in the occupied territories. In Philippine waters. Fishing the world’s oceans. Mass surveillance, of its own people, and the world. Are party members still way more privileged, than ordinary citizens? The new official map, tells it all.
    1
  2410. If anyone has any doubts about whether the CCP has benevolent and peaceful intentions. Check on the recent military exercises against Taiwan. (And all of China’s other border states)
    1
  2411.  @richardtrujillo8427  That’s interesting to hear. That it was a single incident. There have been a few stories out there, of a treaty. Tho, no matter how bad a person. You don’t send them, to a place with, a one party based, legal system. Making yourself complicit, and giving it credibility.
    1
  2412. I’m not sure of New Zealand these days. Apparently, they signed an extradition treaty with China. If you can believe that!! That’s like signing one, with North Korea.
    1
  2413. The conflict started a long time ago. The CCP has it’s people in important institutions around the world. Bribing and blackmailing politicians, like in the Solomon Islands. They only have to get voted in once, then it’s game over.

  2428.  @brucetownsend691  There’s more to it, than that. China gets control, of the assets. By running it, and bringing in its own police. Regardless of loan payback. Colonialism 2.0

  2434. Some analysts have estimated, that the withholding of domestic production, purchases of foreign mines, and open market buying. Puts Chinas gold holdings way above official numbers. Unless it’s been stolen by party members?

  2435. Or, destroy the world. Before they, destroy themselves.

  2436. Ponder? If they can do, sterilization, forced assimilation, work camps, and live organ transplants. In their occupied territories, and to religious groups. You bet, a genetic bio weapon, is being researched.

  2440. That’s an assumption. I bet these human rights watch groups run by exiles. Are very lean, because it’s personal.

  2446. Wow, they actually said it. We will reduce carbon output, AFTER, reaching a maximum. Its like saying. We will stop doing bad things, if it suits us!! The best option, for China. Is to be awesome, like Taiwan.

  2447. Even if they had a few token members, from ethnic or religious groups. They would only be propaganda pieces anyway.

  2450. Congratulations on controlling “Covid”. Or should I say, the narrative. 1.4% fatality rate =? .014x1,400,000,000=19,600,000 Vs 93,150 reported Feb 9, 2023. My Chinese wife, believes the official number.

  2454.  @StephenGillie Most of china’s history. Is of regional internal fighting. Over exactly as you describe, fertile land, and wealth in another fiefdoms hands. If it’s leaders were peaceful. Tibet, and west Turkmenistan, would still be free countries. Look up, what is happening now, in Myanmar, and the Solomon Islands. Not good.

  2459. Two new cases. Is in line, with the pollution reporting.

  2460. It goes full circle. Increasing, the already massive, coal burning. Creates more pollution, and warming. Sounds like a, lose lose, proposition.

  2465.  @Leshic2  It sounds cathartic, for those stifled voices, and a bit of fun. I don’t speak or read pinyin, or mandarin. The great translation movement, needs more coverage. We only get the propaganda version, and don’t even know it.
    1
  2466.  @Leshic2  Wow, we are so under water. You can say anything about a western leader/institution. But nothing, that reveals C,,,, leadership, for what they are doing, to us, and their own. With mass AI, coming on stream. We have to sort this out, fast.
    1
  2467.  @Leshic2  Take a look into, western countries subsidizing postal and shipping rates. It’s killing our businesses. The guys over at, Surpentza, and Lauwhy86, have a good review of it.

  2472. If China was awesome, like Taiwan. They themselves, and all of their neighbours. Would not need to be, in an arms race. Those resources, could go into, reducing coal use, and other beneficial pursuits.
    1
  2473. There are so many reasons. To not send money to China. That includes, not buying their cars. Penny wise, pound foolish, if you do.
    1
  2474. Enough vacancies for 1.8-3 billion people? While we have housing shortages in the west. I have an idea. If China became awesome like Taiwan, then opened up for immigration. We could share around, our excess. From Canada.

  2475. It’s coming from us, buying stuff. We are financing their colonialism.

  2482.  @StephenGillie  Rural areas? My wife just spent a month in Beijing. The air quality is nasty. Two of her highschool friends, died of lung cancer. At her mom's, all the good things in the house, are covered in plastic. Because, after two or three days, they get dirty. Massive increases in coal burning, is suicide, for all of us. Or maybe the industrial pollution, pumped into the rivers and groundwater, is worse? Stop buying their junk, it's killing us, and them.
    1
  2483.  @yudogcome5901  What they don't tell you, is. Last year they built two new coal plants a week. With 270 permitted for 2023-4. Can you spell, suicide? Remember they only show us, what they want us to see.
    1
  2484. Coal is the new shining star in China.

  2485. Xi-Trudeau, was not a dressing down. But an example, of Chinese spin, dominating the narrative. The western media is guilty, of carrying the ball. On negative stories, about ourselves. Serpentza, ADV, or China fact chasers, do a good coverage of this event. Xi didn’t understand, that western leaders, do speak to their media. They are for the people, the countries, not themselves.

  2489. Maybe they are, glorious organ donor now.

  2490. The Chinese people, and the world. They are paranoid, old men. Who are building out the military, and thousands of nukes.

  2491. Begs the question, how and why, is China a member?
    1
  2492. Or eventually lead poisoning. As we finance, their military buildup.

  2493. Long term, we all die of poisoning. As long as EV’s etc, are built in China. We burn more brown coal, and dump toxic metals. Regardless of human rights.

  2494. Tighten control, is something you don’t want to hear, from any government anywhere.

  2495.  @googacct  Yes, very unfortunate. You give in to a bully, you get more bullying. It’ll take a complete collapse, to cause enough infighting. For the CCP to lose its grip on power.
    1
  2496. The Chinese people have had enough, forge the soul, already. It’s too bad, they don’t know it. Go to Taiwan, they didn’t go through the Mao years, of soul forging. They are a wonderful people.

  2497. Of course China does well. They have more resources, than North Korea. Now if the Olympic organization, and the doping agency, had transparency. That would be interesting.
    1
  2498.  @peterhanssens7260  We, western countries still send foreign aid to China, because it is still "a developing nation". We, also subsidies their shipping, and postal rates, same as for poor African countries. Thus killing any of our own businesses, that ship things. Last year, We Canada, sent 7.59 million dollars in foreign aid, to China. 18.2 million dollars, in export development loans. 159.2 million Dollars, share purchase, of asian infrastructure Bank of Beijing. Talk to your current MP, and your future one. Those numbers are according to, Michael Campbells show MoneyTalks.

  2501. It’s the old tried and true, switching to kinetic warfare, that scares me.

  2502.  @CHILDLESS-Single-PeacefulLife  Same with the leading “hate China” channels. They, like Serpentza, Laowhy86, lei’s, China uncensored, all love China, and it’s people. But yes, despise the criminal organization, running the place.
    1
  2503. Any group that has broad popular appeal, like Falun Gong, westerners, or the Jewish, are a threat to the party.
    1
  2504. My worry is. As things turn bad, in China. It threatens the divine right to rule. Re-directing the populations anger, towards outsiders. Goes beyond the internal religious and ethnic groups. To a kinetic war.
    1
  2505. The only thing you can do with a bully. Is cary a big stick. Otherwise you just keep getting more bullying. Good on the coalitions. Prevent another terrible war.

  2507. China has promised to increase coal use to 2026. But now may extend that pledge. This is called, suicide. Thank you, China.

  2508.  @mx338  That defence line, allows free navigation for all the surrounding countries. A benevolent empire, if you want to call it that. China is trying to restrict navigation, in the region. Yes there is a problem.

  2509.  @secretbassrigs  The self sensoring, is really bad.  Why can't we say W,,,, Flu? Because it discriminates? No, it allows the CCP to deflect, and weaponize it further.
    1
  2510. Their earlier coverage of China was excellent. Showing their love for the people and country. While the CCP was slowly squeezing it. I get their coverage of “accidents”, because it is covered up. We happily buy the narrative of how green and modern China is. While it massively pollutes. On and on. The negative only counters the fake news. But then it just looks whiny. Good point, they need to do more of their thoughtful work.
    1
  2511. When you have your feet in the fire. What can you say? I support more coal burning, and work camps!!

  2512. Mao, took care of the Chinese culture. The one child policy, was a continuation. Of his dismantling.

  2513. Getting facts out of China, is subversive. Getting facts to the Chinese people, is brilliant.
    1
  2514. True, but we’ve had one bug, get away on us. Running ever larger deficits, for many decades. Is catching up for us too. Letting big business, run healthcare, and the military. Has created huge inefficient industry. At any and all cost. Not so different.
    1
  2515. Russia paying back its allies. Has launched satellites for Iran and North Korea. While getting trump and maga to backtrack on anti TikTok and China.

  2516. Provoke till, you started it!!

  2517.  @justrl3k  Yes, China is currently engaged in unconventional, or as some say unrestricted warfare with us. We are blind to it, because it doesn't look like an action movie.

  2518.  @ChinaUpdate  I know. Just thought the difference, is worth pointing out, to others.

  2519. You said CPC, instead of CCP. They want you to use CPC. Because it decouples, from past atrocities.

  2520.  @JohnJaneson The Chinese delegation, did some royal butt kissing?
    1
  2521. How is improved air quality possible. With the steady increase, of coal fired power plants.
    1
  2522. As long as it redirects public anger, to other people’s, or countries. Job done. Remember, Uighur’s are terrorists, and Tibetan’s were rescued, from serfdom.
    1
  2523.  @skydragon23101979  There is an international postal organization, that sets rates. So that poor people in developing nations, have access to a postal service. While those in richer countries, pay more, to cover the difference. Try mailing a $5 item, to someone nearby. It’ll cost $3. Order it from China, it’s free. Even if it uses a western postal service. It’s the same for a westerner, sending something from China. The rate is sky high. China cries poverty, when there is an advantage, to be gained. It’s devastating for our small businesses.
    1
  2524. That would give them, an incredible world perception boost.

  2528. Can we get China to stop building coal power plants, at home, and around the world? No. We are not allowed to say these things.
    1
  2529.  @themoe.1  You completely missed my point. Yes we know, emission reduction is too slow. My point is. While we were figuring this out. China went from an almost sustainable, agrarian economy. To a massive polluter. They could have developed, a lot more responsibly.
    1
  2530.  @themoe.1  That's why i said slowly. Yes, not a fast enough reduction. Meanwhile, we are not allowed to say. That China, had the chance to develop responsibly. But chose to be the largest polluter, of all.
    1
  2531.  @themoe.1  It's so simple, right? The modernized countries, got the ball rolling. We now know better, and are improving, slowly. In the west, our CO2 output is declining. While China is still building more coal plants, domestically, and abroad. But, were not allowed to say that. Or, that they, are fishing out the world's oceans.

  2541. We still have, Chinese police stations, in our cities.

  2544.  @quantum9571  Taiwan was once part of Japan. They could join them too, if they feel bullied.
    1
  2545. It’s so damn simple. If the mainland took its cue from Taiwan. Became a peaceful prosperous democracy. We would all love the place.
    1
  2546.  @eyewitness8145  One thing that is covered up. Is the CCP sometimes fought, with the Japanese, to beat the KMT.
    1
  2547.  @dark3031  Don’t forget Tibet, they are also, an occupied territory. With their temples and culture, being erased.
    1
  2548. Even if it went to a vote. It’s still not for them to decide, the fate of another nation. Also, they have been taught, that Taiwan is a part of the mainland.
    1
  2549. Sounds like the NYTimes gets financing, from the new colonizers, the CCP.
    1
  2550. Canada too, we agree with you. Except, the US is not self reliant, none of us are any more.
    1
  2551. In memory of all the horrible things we are capable of doing to each other. Help the people of Tibet and Xinjiang, to be free again. To teach their own languages, and cultures, to their children. In their own lands. ❤
    1
  2552.  @queensapphire7717  You now, have the opportunity to make a difference. In the lives of people living today, and tomorrow. Shine a light, on what the Chinese government is doing, in its occupied territories, and at home. Even abroad, with its unconventional warfare.
    1
  2553. The Washington Post, has been terribly pro Beijing. Maybe, some balanced coverage?
    1
  2554. Check your pension plan. Chances are, it’s seriously enabling human rights abuses. By being invested in China.
    1
  2555.  @SelfProclaimedEmperor  They have been running huge budget deficits. That add some of the GDP, through debt.
    1
  2556.  @julyfoundbychance  If we have the mindset of owning a species. We place our needs above, the other inhabitants of this world. At what point, of consuming the natural world. Do we imperil, our own existence. It's symbolism. Especially in China, burn brown coal, organ harvesting, if it makes money, etc. I'm ok, good luck for the rest of you.
    1
  2557. Will the Uighur’s and Tibetan’s, ever get justice? 🍯
    1
  2558. As horrible as this is. It is happening today. Covered up, by a surveillance state.
    1
  2559. It goes to reason. That they are treating, the occupants of the occupied territories, well? Not!!!
    1
  2560. What nasties are happening now, in the occupied territories of China?
    1
  2561. Thank you, so much, for calling out, Ray Dallio. Our pensions, are funding, their arms race. They are building out their military, to take over the world. No one was threatening them, it’s for offensive reasons.
    1
  2562. I sure hope they are restoring the mangroves. To hold back any storm events.

  2569. The invasion, and occupation of Tibet? One of our favourite countries.

  2571. China.

  2572. EV’s are not much better than ice vehicles. Their components come from China.
    1
  2573.  @Vaeldarg  It's easier to claim territory. If the people look and think like you. If they don't...
    1
  2574. I’m thinking, of the Uighur’s, and the Tibetan’s.
    1
  2575. They likely, just want their freedom.
    1
  2576.  nofybn7794  I think that was, just to get a reaction.
    1
  2577. It’s called, the unconventional warfare. They are out to squash, democracy, and free speech. Using our openness, against us. Why are Huawei 5g towers, out in the country, near nuclear plants, and military bases? Get Serpentza, and Laowhy86, they know what’s going on. Or even Criss Chappell.
    1
  2578. Or the other guy.
    1
  2579. The whole point, is that the extremes on both sides, are dangerous. That they silence the middle, the moderates.
    1
  2580. How Newsom is scary. Is, he shills for China. The #1 place for, world fish stock depletion, colonialism (elite capture), pollution, propaganda, persecution of the people in its occupied territories, starting an arms race, no free press association religion or speech, live organ harvesting.
    1
  2581. What flies completely under the radar is. The CCP using all means of social media, and elite capture, to sow division, and bring us down. Russia too, but mostly China.
    1
  2582. I fear for the good Chinese people. Taking the blame, for the Chinese government.
    1
  2583.  @hartkopz86  As right as you are. Dialogue won’t happen, without reaching across the chasm.
    1
  2584. Without the western vaccines. Think of how many, actually died in China. %1, %2, %3? Compared, to the official numbers.
    1
  2585. Please get the word out. That we are being played, by the Chinese government. Wake up people.

    1
  2604. Those programs are important. But in their current form, they are run as corporate kleptocracy. Why is the country going broke? Half the service, at twice the price, is doing it.
    1
  2605. It could be argued. That his achievements didn’t matter. We were bound, to go beyond the healthy limits, of our planet.

  2608. No matter how awful Trump is. As the world’s economy falls, the incumbent gets the axe.
    1
  2609. No mention, that Twitter became an open platform, for Russian and Chinese propaganda. That’s the main story about Twitter, isn’t it??
    1
  2610. Do you cover other topics? Like how the military, and medical system, are set up for maximum corporate profits. Rather than for country, and the people. Remember, the USA bankrupted the USSR, in an arms race. Today, China is doing the same thing. Value, for tax $$$$.
    1
  2611. How many are we sending to Taiwan? (If it isn’t a redundancy).
    1
  2612. And now, China is building many more nukes. That’ll fix all our problems.
    1
  2613. @ Sounds like, “the Dave’s I know”.

  2615. If it’s American citizens? Are they really doing the work of. China Russia North Korea Iran etc?
    1
  2616. This doesn't make it right, but. I don't envy the company. They are bound up in knots, with contracts, and liabilities.
    1
  2617. Liability, liability, liability, insurance companies, corporate lobby's. Ever wonder why, the medical system provides half the service, for twice the price?
    1
  2618. Those nasty colonialists.
    1
  2619. If you believe, ministry of truth, stats. I have some low tide, real estate, for sale. A proud Olympic tradition. Berlin 1936. Beijing 2022.
    1
  2620.  @Bob-xb9vx  In the west, media can lean left, or to the right. It should be, a lot less divisive. If we are going to thrive again. No matter how bad. It’s not, “the ministry of truth”, out of China.
    1
  2621. You believe their stats? A British university computer model. Estimated 1.7 million deaths in China, from the outbreak. According to, Chinese stats, there have been only two deaths, in over a year. While the overall, population death rate, has spiked.
    1
  2622. Don’t forget, Tibet, and Mongolia.

  2626. Start a horrible war, destroy France, lose, cry victim. Do it again, but more ruthlessly, lose, and learn?
    1
  2627. What gets me, is. We always say how bad Lenin, or Hitler was. But Mao gets a pass. Some historians think, he killed many more than, 10mil. Now Xi is modelling himself, as Mao 2.0.
    1
  2628. I’ve heard of the Canadians being run over with tanks, but not the Senegalese. Truly horrible. Beware racist or extreme ideology.
    1
  2629. What can we say, about people. Who today insist, upon Jewish conspiracy theories?
    1
  2630. And to think, the CCP allowed international flights from Wuhan. When they could have shut it down.
    1
  2631. Now China is repeating it. But with the ministry of truth, to keep appearances otherwise.
    1
  2632. The image at 4:55 is quite funny. They are standing next to the young, easy prey. While attacking, sure death.

  2633. Oooo, not safe flying in the states now.

  2634. I was really interested. Until it showed, external moving parts.

  2635. At least, send them to India. Or other place, with an outbreak.
    1
  2636. Adding heat, to natural water sources. Is something to be careful about, avoiding. Instead, perhaps a heat sink, for winter use?
    1
  2637. China is a safe place. But all the windows have security bars??

  2638. Even with the CCP virus. The worlds population still grows.

  2644. Peck peck peck
    1
  2645. I get, that the robber was totally wrong. But, I’m surprised. That shooting someone who is leaving, in the back, and then on the ground. Is still self defence? I’m not saying morally, but technically, it’s after?
    1
  2646. Birdy.
    1
  2647. Chinese government, Chinese mining companies. Rape and pillage. Don’t ever ever do deals with them. Once a people or country loses control of their assets, and infrastructure, to the Chinese. It’s gone. Western mining companies, have to stick to rules and ethics. Because they report publicly.
    1
  2648. We have to do as much as we can, to the highest standards. Meanwhile, China is building us EV’s and solar panels. With the inputs, at the lowest standards. Example, increasing suicide levels of coal burning. Can it go underground? An easier to control format.
    1
  2649. But,,,other experts say, it’s not airborne. But through touching things. Big difference??

  2650. Tunnel to it, put a bubble over the operations?

  2651. Two new advantages. They have found a new best friend, the Taliban. For resources, and progressive ideas, on the cheap. Second, they vaccinated the young and healthy. The elderly are taking the brunt of the epidemic.
    1
  2652. Everyone bitches about “America”. As a Canadian, the big dog, does lift its leg on us. But, it’s a hell of a lot better, than being sent to camp, or being a volunteered organ donor. Ask a Tibetan. They were large, a smaller population, and they next door to China.
    1
  2653.  @danielmart7940 Have you spent your whole life, trying to get back to that place?
    1
  2654. If the joke is told, with love, or with malice. My wife has a friend from rural China. She went to the town, as a girl, to find work. To help her family. She was taken in by a nice shopkeeper lady, and sold into prostitution. Poverty, and dictatorship suck.

  2657.  @leedaniels1468  Thailand, that’s where.
    1
  2658. What’s really important, is. Apple products, switching gear, and the cloud system, are made in China. Meaning, the PLA has access to all the data. Can f with these devices, when needed.
    1
  2659. So much political pain. For such a small move, in the pension age. 2 years, is not going to fix it. Poorly telegraphed, to fiscally illiterate people. (Most of us are) Proof! It’s standard practice, to buy vehicles on credit.

  2660. Apocalyptic pollution, now we are all China.

    1
  2666. Is it safe to take at home with your partner. No going out the door, and getting hit by a bus? Can it be a shared experience. Or it’s your own trip. To be watched over, by your partner?
    1
  2667. Opening up discourse, if civil. Is great. Will that include, China discussion? Elon, being beholden to the CCP.

  2668. Twitter was doing one good thing. It was calling out, Chinese “Ministry of Truth” bots.

  2671. Sounds like a set up, for failure. It needs acceptance of, how well you achieve these goals.
    1
  2672. Thank you, so much, for talking about this. We are so behind the curve. Watch any new movie. They all put down the USA. Mention all the baddest leaders in history. Without mention of Mao, etc. Get the word out. Or we, are next, off to camp, and organ donors.
    1
  2673. We are excited about, a surveillance balloon. That could cary, any kind of munitions. While millions of Americans, are on TikTok. Wake up, folks.

  2674.  @The.world.has.gone.crazy...  Yes exactly, this bill is to cut some of the Chinese psy ops. Other places too, like Russia or Iran.
    1
  2675.  @whitneypay515  If you read the bill, you’re fine. It’s going after the overseas problems, mostly China.
    1
  2676. Get The China Show on JRE. They discuss in depth, how the bill is trying to limit Chinese military influencing. They read the whole bill, and understand Chinese intent very well. If we do nothing, we are fk’d.
    1
  2677. Ok, all you smart guys. How would you protect against Chinese military influence and spying?
    1
  2678. The Chinese don’t want any restrictions. They are saying it’s against you, not them.
    1
  2679. @No Thanks Mike wants the whole system shut down. So it has no ability to respond to real external threats. In case someone’s feelings get hurt.

  2746. Meanwhile, China has been dragging anchors over cables, around Taiwan and Lithuania. But like their fishing fleet, they turn off their transponders.

  2766. Did he mention gold? I didn’t hear anything, about it.

  2767. Xinjiang, same as Tibet, and Inner Mongolia, if you move lots of Chinese people into the region. As has been done. It can’t go back, to the native population.
    1
  2768. This needs a lot more coverage, thank you. Is Tibet, Tibetan?? Is the west Philippine sea, Chinese? Are Falung Gong organs, a profit centre? The worlds fish, are all Chinese!!

  2769.  @chiznowtch  You and I, know that any data out of China. Goes through the ministry of truth first. Making it all just, a reflection, of how paranoid the CCP is. I’m referring to most people, who don’t pay attention to the details. My wife, and step son, are from China. They believe that China is helping the world, handled the pandemic wonderfully, etc. I’m in Vancouver, where there is a huge number of new Chinese. The ones who benefited from the system. They only get Chinese propaganda media. The old Chinese families here, know better, they are Canadian. But the new ones, have money and influence. They have bought up most of the rental real estate, and are now buying agricultural land. I talk to, people as much as I can.

  2773. China, is bringing countries together. Even old foes.

  2774. The #1 easiest, and best thing, every one of us can do. Is stop buying Chinese products. They built two new brown coal power plants a week, last year. With 270 permitted for 2023-24. Along with many more built, in other countries, where they have influence. Human rights alone, should be reason enough.

  2776. Remember, all these companies were scared to boycott China. When they could have made, a real difference.

  2777. The ROC minister, made a very good point. There should be an international organization, to learn, and to prevent, future pandemics.

  2778. Taiwan would be an honourable member of the UN, rather than China.

  2789.  @wonbin3912  With all the other affected countries. Strength in numbers.
    1
  2790.  @2061526  Actually, the answer i do have. Is if all the affected countries, settled their territory disputes. And presented a unified force, against China. There is a chance to turn this around. Or lose it all.

  2791. While receiving donations of PPE, from other countries. Canada fell for it.

  2792. Don’t blame her. Blame who is responsible. And WHO enables.

  2793.  @2061526  Wish i had an answer for you. In the face of force, China will back down. Otherwise, they will keep taking more and more.
    1
  2794.  @zerohero9545  You are missing the point, why people are mad at the CCP. If they were open, and honest. Didn't make such an effort to hide, and change the narrative, to their benefit. We would be forgiving. We even donated PPE to China. While they were hiding, the truth. Taiwan saw through the lies, and acted quickly. Because, they knew who they were dealing with. We in the west, are naturally trusting, and want to help.
    1
  2795. Not on her hands, her bosses.

  2796. Soon, all our troubles will go away. The CCP wants to build 1300 nukes, and is paranoid.

  2797. Guess, the complicity games, will have to be canceled.

  2803. Fantastic interview. The main question. Of how to get China to deescalate, wasn’t posed, or answered.
    1
  2804. Shock!!! The party, is a criminal organization!!

  2805. What is the solution? They will continue to build, while negotiating, or distracting.

  2806. Is this another group, being ethnically cleansed, for not being Han?

  2807. Sri-Lankan officials can not board a vessel, in a Sri-Lankan port?? That ship should have been seized.

  2809. It creates this potentially dangerous carcinogen. In larger amounts, than normal. Sales rep says, don’t worry about it. Ok!!

  2810. Now that They have moved into these places. It would be losing face to back down. So now they can't do that. The cry/bully routine is very dangerous, for us all.
    1
  2811. All good, China has promised to increase coal burning, until 2026. A few predatory loans, should also help.

  2812. She is right to be upset. Because, it is the CCP virus. The people of Wuhan, are not responsible.

  2816. What the CCP, has failed to notice. Is that everyone wants to be their friend. But no, they have to push everyone’s borders, liberty, and start an arms race. Lucky world.

  2820. The surrounding countries, should settle their boundaries. China is taking advantage, of the situation. Lose a little to your neighbours, have peace, or lose it all.

  2821. Sounds like China. They don’t recognize, anyone’s borders.

  2822. It all comes down to, corruption in power. We could all prosper, will fair and honest leaders.

  2823. Independence, from Chinese imperialism?
    1
  2824. It's pretty simple. Way too many people. Everywhere.
    1
  2825. The children are sent to Chinese only schools. Taken away from their families. It is horrible.
    1
  2826. No it can't be my fault!! That a lovely tropical village, and beach. Has turned in to stores, restaurants, hotels, cars, boats, endless tours. Never to have clean bio diverse waters again. As modern humans. Everything we do, turns nature, into garbage. Think about it, work backwards, on every aspect of your life. Look at the clothing you wear. It is from farming, or petroleum based.
    1
  2827. Retreads should like a good idea, for using less. The farmers need, what we have in Canada, for dairy farmers. Quota, that matches the demand. The farmer, gets a reliable predictable price. That allows them a good living. In the USA, they over produce, the prices go down. The farmer sells out, to the large corporations. Then they are beholden, to the company. The consumer gets a cheaper product, at a cost, to the farmer, and to quality, (their health).

  2828. It is working, they are there now.

  2829. Talk, doesn’t work against a bully.

  2830. Who cares what China thinks. None of their business. Taiwan has been left out, of international organizations for too long.

  2831. Get this information out there. The CCP is causing so much trouble. They are not good neighbours. Put pressure on them. No 2022 olympics. Berlin 1936 Beijing 2022

  2832. Prevention, is the way to go. Another peaceful “island” country. Is being threatened by a much larger one, right now.
    1
  2833.  @broadleyboy2  Yes, fair trade practices, if it can be verified. Would only add a small amount to the price. While giving much more social, and environmental benefit.

  2834.  @BelloBudo007  Mao, was way worse. Their new dear leader, is emulating him.
    1
  2835.  @ericlavoie399  Please don’t encourage that. Money to China, enables a lot of bad things. Now they are making, an arms race.

  2836. Oh great, China has taken mass pig farming, to a tall building level. Joy.

  2837.  @skulz1974  Careful with those cheap ones, they could be made in China.

  2838. Mr T, would have wet his pants. He didn’t have the courage, to go.

  2839. They are playing it down domestically. Grandpa in Beijing. Said, the USA did something diplomatically, that wasn’t right. Sounds like back pedalling, for the home audience.
    1
  2840. One Country, is causing trouble. China should be disciplined.
    1
  2841.  @haskalah  To your point, of where each country has its boundaries. In relation, to their military exercises. Is a good one. Also, how how these boundaries, and exercises, relate to international standards.
    1
  2842.  @haskalah  Have you heard of the nine dash line? China claims a lot of other countries spaces. So, a little push back, is warranted.
    1
  2843. For context. Taiwan has a couple of smaller islands. That are really close, to the Chinese mainland. So that is where, you will see, legitimate overlap.
    1
  2844. All these resources, are building, China’s war machine. Colonialism, at its finest.
    1
  2845. This sounds like a deflection. China claims the airspace of all the neighbouring countries. Especially, in the South China Sea. Way beyond its territory.
    1
  2846. True. We don’t have a problem with the Chinese people. Just their, colonizing dictator’s.
    1
  2847. Inevitable, because there are 8 billion of us. Still polluting our world.
    1
  2848. Limit the numbers, of tourists, and eventually only the rich will be able to go. Make it a lottery, style of entry, with a fee?
    1
  2849. This makes it sound like, Taiwan was at one time, part of China?
    1
  2850.  @xiaoyang  It’s like Tibet, just ask a Taiwanese, if they are Taiwanese or Chinese.
    1
  2851. I don’t like Trudeau. But, it’s like people here. Are giving Xi integrity? The CCP, lies and cheats, about everything.
    1
  2852.  @leeeric2116  Exactly, it's not a joke at all. We need to be more vigilant.
    1
  2853. Good news for Taiwan, and hopefully for Tibet, and Xinjiang to. The CCP peace proposal, to Russia. Includes the notion, of respecting sovereignty, and national borders.
    1
  2854. That’s a lot of hand ringing over a little help, for an innocent country. Can we muster the courage, to defend Taiwan? The South Pacific islands, the Philippines, Japan, etc. Or just give up.
    1
  2855. Is this channel pro China? Is debt trapping, and bribing dictators, helping African countries?
    1
  2856. Yes it’s biological warfare. Sending illicit drugs, to the west, is chemical warfare. So why not another virus.

  2857. When 9/11 happened. I was at my property on saltspring island, didn’t know about it for days.

  2863. Better. There is noticeably less obesity in Vancouver. But sadly, it's mostly the white folks.  @doingbettereveryday 
    1
  2864.  @DavidJones-me7yr  Its not good. Out here in BC, we have lost country sized forests, to the pine beetle, and forest fires. The white birch are almost all gone. A lot of the cedars are having trouble, with longer summers. I'm just an old guy who likes to hike. So who knows what the foresters are seeing?
    1
  2865. Funny to hear mention of Everest. I’m reading, Into The Silence, right now. A fantastic account, of that era.
    1
  2866. They kept saying, the Merlin was an American engine?
    1
  2867. You guys hate the Smart car? It was made as a TDI, but only in the states was it only a gasoline, wrong engine! I have two manual 97 Volvo 850awd wagon’s, in Canada, but not in the USA.
    1
  2868. Canada was not only a supply depot. It was also a safe, off site location, for pilot training, and POW camps. A large number of British children, were sent over, for safety. Many did not have a good time, as much needed, farm labour.
    1
  2869. What’s creepy, is China is heading the same way, as Japan was.
    1
  2870. Also, the Chinese will never thank the allies, for liberating them. And then not occupying them, in turn.

  2871. Now go win back your sea.

  2874. What was the Canadian warship, that had the most kills, in the war?
    1
  2875. The USA, will forever be “guilty” of using the bomb. This story is so important, for context. Now China, is now guilty of many atrocities. But they are using propaganda to its fullest.
    1
  2876. Does disrupting trade, qualify as pirate activity? Many Canadian and American, farmers and producers, are not getting their goods shipped to Asia. Because the containers are going back empty, instead of loaded with western products. China excels at unconventional warfare. Death by a thousand cuts.
    1
  2877. Meanwhile, we allow Chinese and Russian disinformation. That is designed, to divide western society.
    1
  2878. Now we need some axis veterans, telling of the results, of the pranks. (And the ones, they did)
    1
  2879. No one can match the British, for humour.

  2883. You sent twice? We can see your comment.

  2884. At least there is affordable health care, and a safety net.
    1
  2885. Tough spot. The allies, couldn’t fight Russia. If Russia was an ally, fighting the Germans.
    1
  2886.  @chooyongming110  Tragically for the Chinese, they never got past target practice.
    1
  2887. Still on payroll, I never understood that part of it. If I do something that stupid at work, I’m gone, done.
    1
  2888. Instead of fighting each other. We should be focused on places that imprison people, for their faith. Such as is happening in Tibet, and Xinjiang.
    1
  2889. When is the USA, going to become a modern country? Where health and wellness, are accepted as a norm.
    1
  2890. It’s tragic all the way round. Only the best, can properly fight a war. Leaving the rest, to breed at home. Leaving society, worse off. The “idea” of training, discipline, for all, makes sense. My step dad, was in WW2, from 39 on. We were lucky to get such an upstanding man back. He is on his death bed today. Never talked about the war, no glory he said.
    1
  2891. Farm boys I know, are strong, resourceful, situationally smart. Better than a salesman, to rely on.

  2892. I bet, the dad wasn’t sleeping, at all. Thinking of ever being away, from his daughter.
    1
  2893. The what? It’s the toilet bowl, of humanity.
    1
  2894. That’s a lot of talking without saying anything
    1
  2895. Half as much violent crime, as the mainland, is a start. But still pretty bad, on a world scale.
    1
  2896. There has to be a better way. The prisons are full, and it costs so much. A remote work camp. No drugs, no booze, they learn a trade?
    1
  2897.  @InformationIsTheEdge  This is a daily reminder. Meanwhile, they have a surveillance state, to control the messaging. While we like to buy cheaper goods. It could be us, or our children.
    1
  2898. Anyone taught, that there is still slavery, in the world?
    1
  2899.  @USGrant-rr2by  You are right. If I’m getting you. History should not be rewritten. To make, some people look better. Or others worse. I’m saying, slavery is happening now, in some places. I don’t know what the answer is, to get rid of it. Awareness is a start. Like not buying Chinese products, and saying why. One way to honour those who were wronged in the past. Is to prevent it now, and in the future.
    1
  2900. Jail is too expensive, free in public, is too expensive. The only thing I can think of. With people who are, so destructive socially. Is a work camp, where they earn favours, have group counselling, good food, no drugs, and a schedule. Maybe learn a trade?
    1
  2901.  @laras678  The topic, was partially about slavery. We know that there are certain levels of slavery in the world. Like with domestic help in Dubai, or prostitution. Why I mention it, is. Because China invaded Xinjiang, and it is systematically removing, or neutering the Uighur peoples. If they are not in work camps, the women are forced to marry Chinese men. With a surveillance state, they manage the story. While we like to buy cheap clothing, and manufactured goods. (It's also a cotton growing region). It's a related topic, and very important. Because it is happening to real people, right now.

  2902.  @AmericatheBeautiful-p4z Now that we’ve had those temperatures in Canada. Makes you take notice.

  2903. I love Dutched cocoa. Is it as healthy as natural?
    1
  2904. If you insist that we are not affecting the climate. How about we agree, to try to reduce all kinds of pollution, and environmental degradation. We can agree, that we need a clean healthy planet, to have a healthy future. The easiest thing to do, is to reduce coal burning. By purchasing less Chinese, and “belt and road” made products.
    1
  2905. LED light, with heavy metals in it.
    1
  2906. Finally someone said it, “basically everything humanity does, contributes to green house gases”, pollution, and less nature. The only people who are long term survival neutral, are tropical bush people. Electric cars, are not “good for the environment “, just less bad, hopefully.

  2907. As long as there are billions of us, we have a problem.

  2911. Seeing the best, in the other. Is so true. To live, to embrace all the pains and joys. Is a life lived. We were married 25 years. I wanted to cuddle, like puppies. Maybe play a little rough too. She was comfortable, with holding hands. Being in the same room, was plenty enough, for intimacy.

  2917.  @shawarmageddonit  In the USA, people generated change, can happen. But, we do need to work together, not from the noisy extremes.

  2918. We can start, by exposing the narrative, to placate the Communist Party in China. Try to critique the CCP, vs the USA, on Tic Tok, Youtube, or in a movie. One is censored, the other encouraged.

  2954. When interest rates, start to go up, more than a little. If it, starts to reflect real risk, and fear. The speed, and level will be shocking. Here in Canada, when Quebec had a separation referendum, in 94, or 96. Our mortgage was up for renewal, two weeks before the vote. We locked in at, %15 and %18, for a five year, and a three year term. An experience like that, can make you very afraid, of debt.

  2959.  @theonewhoknocks2835  Exactly. There are lots of poor people around the world. Who will do anything to feed their kids. We don’t know what it’s like. And at present, don’t have to. As long as we vote for people who, are against mass surveillance, and corporate bribery. We’re ok.

  2960. Did you say! “Cash, in the bank”? That’s a contradiction. It’s all an electronic entry. If China, or a solar flare, wipes the computers. Where is your cash now? And your equities. I’m at a loss, of where to keep my wealth safe. Holding very much gold, and cash. They call you a criminal. (Don’t start on crypto, it’s electronic too)

  2968.  @brokenbutterfly3178  Therapy? My wife was going to three different therapists, at the same time, for many years. But, because she didn’t want to talk about her sexual trauma. She divorced me, after 28 years, when I was exhausted. From the cost, and no affection between us. She is still seeing one of them.

  2972. It’s hard to shake. Growing up in the 60’s. We were discovering, that “all” of the worlds problems, were because of men. Dad and grandpa, were narcissistic bullies. Like today’s Trump, not good role models. If you want a better society, better home life.

  2973.  @JB52520  Fishing?? You're kidding right! Think China's coast line. It is short, and polluted. Yet China has the worlds largest fishing fleet, with armed escorts. There was a world wide conservation treaty signed this spring, China opted out. Humour me with your justifications for. A billion $ organ transplant industry. Supplied by political dissidents, prisoners, Uighur's, Falun Gong, Tibetan's. The forced assimilation of the occupied territories, Tibet, East Turkestan. The constant harassment, and undermining of Taiwan. Every official, new map issued, includes more foreign territory. No freedom of speech. Where is Peng Shuai, Where is bridge man, Where is Sexy Cyborg tech girl, Where is chained up peasant woman? Why are the top CCP leaders all filthy rich. In an equal society. Building military bases, in Philippine territorial waters. Some info for you, compare the freedom index, and happiness index, China vs Taiwan. Hong Kong, before vs after takeover. Why do they want CCP, to now be CPC? For a cleaner record. No more Mao's, four olds, destroying traditional culture, killing tens of millions. Washing party sins.

  3001.  @aprilh8022  Of course the old guy is nasty, in his views. My point is. As long as it is sport, to find the extremes, on either side. The majority in the middle, gets drowned out, by all the noise. The algorithms promote division, for clicks, or Chinese intent to break down our societies.

  3002. You’re both right. There’s no excuse for racism. But finger pointing, maintains the divide.
    1
  3003. Problem. The economy isn’t likely to hold on till the election. Even though it’ll be caused by, a half a century of running ever larger deficits. With the sucking sound of a corporatocracy. The incumbent, will take the fall.

  3011. I have to agree with him on the pipeline. Shutting that down, was not strategically wise. That blend of crude, that in needed in the gulf refineries, for blending. Now comes from Venezuela. Venezuela is preparing to invade Guyana, with it's newly gifted Chinese weapons. Why? Because we are distracted, and a big oil find, just happened there.
    1
  3012.  @danevertt3210  Doing things, and not doing things, both have effects. Not permitting it, meant not working with a close secure partner. The gulf refineries, still need that grade of crude for blending. So they get it from Venezuela. That supports a terrible regime, with dollars. One that is planning on invading Guyana right now. Because Guyana just found a large oil field. With weapons supplied by China.
    1
  3013. That's what he is complaining about. It did get shut down, on Biden's first day in office. That one, I agree with him.
    1
  3014. The pipeline was to get heavy Canadian crude, to the gulf refiners. They need it in their blending, to operate efficiently. So now it comes from Venezuela. The not friend country, that is preparing to invade Guyana, next door. With Chinese supplied weapons.
    1
  3015. But the gulf refiners need that grade of crude, to blend in their refineries. So, that means it has to come from Venezuela. A not friend country, to anyone. It is preparing to invade Guyana, with Chinese supplied weapons. Because oil was found there, right next door.
    1
  3016. To be fair, it needed to go through the US, to connect. The Canadian side put up the money, then spent years, trying to get the permits. It's the grade of crude, that the gulf refiners need to blend, at their refineries. So now, it comes from Venezuela. A not friend country, about to invade Guyana. With Chinese supplied weapons.

  3024.  @FeatherstoneApothecary  Ok, that’s nice. Who is going to pay those higher wages. If it costs ten times more to hire in the west. Is the western employee, eleven times more productive. In China there are millions of people, In camps, working as slave labour. We sell bonds to the world, because each successive administration, runs larger deficits.

Is engaged in persecution of minority groups, in its occupied territories, same with religious groups. Is engaged in unconventional warfare, stealing our tech, and undermining us. While pushing, a huge arms buildup. Good idea, money over morals, and future safety.

  3065. The oil problem is. Some folks, don't want pipelines. That will get it to those markets, for a decent price. A mix of immigrants, is great. Always has been.

  3092. This one, and the last one, are pretty embarrassing. I’m worried about you guys, and the rest of us. The world needs, a tough, smart, fair dealing USA. China is out, to mess us all up.
    1
  3093. Hope it wasn’t a decoy list.
    1
  3094. Meanwhile in Canada, the national broadcaster CBC. Yaps on and on about TicToc. We are so asleep, here.
    1
  3095. I don’t like Biden, or Trump. While some of you, support division. You are working for China. This is what they want.
    1
  3096. One head, of the hydra.
    1
  3097. The crazy lady is right. In a backwards way. Making those cars, is hugely polluting. Especially, if any of it comes from China.
    1
  3098. When held in China, the whole point is politics, and posturing for the CCP. So then, it shouldn't be held there .
    1
  3099. Read between the lines a little. Come on people. He vouches for the CCP. Taiwan reunification, genocide, slave labour, colonialism, massive coal burning, and pollution. All good, don't look here.
    1
  3100. A spokesperson for a repressive regime, in-order to hang onto his company?
    1
  3101. They were before talking about setting up Tesla dealerships, in Xinjiang.  Reminds me of the joke. What's it like in China? Can't say..
    1
  3102. Next they will buy a Chinese EV. Made with brown coal, and tears.
    1
  3103. When is the world going to wake up, to no fish left? The pollution, and fishing fleet, is just as likely to kill us, as their military.
    1
  3104. A Mexican neighbour, just told me, that China has all of Mexico's off shore rights. Are we really, all that stupid?
    1
  3105. Berlin 1936 Beijing 2022 Don’t forget to support chinas upcoming propaganda show.
    1
  3106. A doddering old coot, who can run a meeting. Is better than the last guy. We need to work with our allies, not against. China’s influence campaign is serious.
    1
  3107. Are we kidding? China is at war with the world right now. They promote division, and misinformation. Breaking us up, from within. While partnering with dictators.
    1
  3108. Yet, he removed the state actor label, for Chinese propagandists. We all know, who has him by the short hairs. He is even pro “reunification “. (Evil use of a word).
    1
  3109. As long as the battery metals and components come from China. We are not doing anything better.
    1
  3110. Bonus, they’re not burning coal, to build it.
    1
  3111. China is still the leader. In burning more coal, and ethnic cleansing. Go team CCP!!
    1
  3112. Daily reminder, Taiwan is an awesome country.
    1
  3113. If China stops threatening its neighbours, and gives the atolls back. We will all relax, and say yes it’s our friend China, sailing by. (No one is threatening China, by sailing in the South China Sea).
    1
  3114. EV’s in China, are coal powered. The massive coal burning, is killing us.
    1
  3115. Lei, have you discussed? That there is room in the comments, for the 50 cent army, to throw deflection. On any discussion, of the Chinese ruling “party”. At the same time, there is no room, for critical discussion, within China. While our media, is not perfect. It doesn’t all go through, the ministry of truth. This is why, voices like yours, are so important.
    1
  3116. I’m with you. Love China. Reform the government. Before they start, a world war.
    1
  3117. I appreciate your content, thank you.
    1
  3118.  @donnydrumpf9563  Make dashed lies, with a red crayon, on a map. Publish it. Call it, your traditional territory.
    1
  3119. As long as there is no push back. They will keep going.
    1
  3120. I’ve never heard it, without a t? Are you in the USA.
    1
  3121.  @jamesrey3221  They are settled on their land boundaries. As far as I know. But still not, on the sea. China's aggression, should have forced them, to settle.
    1
  3122. It’s amazing, that the country’s surrounding the South China Sea. Could not agree, on boundaries. So China went in, and took it. Can they organize, now that it’s critical?
    1
  3123. Great! And now Trump will abandon the Ukrainian people.
    1
  3124. Chris Chapel, has a really good name. For the CCP, mini series, soap opera. Anyone?
    1
  3125.  @MAXlMUS  True, we don’t want that. But the Russian people have had it hard enough already. With the dictators they have had. With the Chinese, they would be another occupied territory. Subject to forced reeducation, sterilization, organ donation, etc. On moral grounds, we should protect them.
    1
  3126.  @drumpfdon760  Yes, we love China, and it's people. That's why, we hate the CCP. You don't need to be defensive, no one want's to attack China. We all want to get along.
    1
  3127. My favourite soap opera. Too bad, it’s so dangerous, for the world.
    1
  3128.  @youmakeitreal  Why, the Dali lama, is a true gem.
    1
  3129.  @hibaricloudz98  They are so paranoid, they take offence at anything. That is why, their military buildup, is so dangerous.
    1
  3130. Now we have Xi, threatening all their neighbours. Building up the military. Promising to make, 3000 modern nukes.
    1
  3131. Neither, they intend to dominate the world. Xi is more long term, in style. He will say, whatever buys time, to build the military. Which is more dangerous.
    1
  3132. Surely the communist party, is for peace, equality, and harmony. Their leaders, would never have, big fat off shore, bank accounts!!
    1
  3133. A lesson to the world. Do deals with the CCP, they will never leave.
    1
  3134.  @waratahdavid696  Yes, that was the point. A promise made, is only for others, to keep.
    1
  3135. Congratulations, your views, are coming up. You deserve an audience. This is really important information. That we are not getting, in the regular media. I don’t want “our” children, to be organ donors, or to be sent to camp.
    1
  3136. If all information, comes from the ministry of truth. None of it, can be taken at face value.
    1
  3137. We need, her honest reporting. Otherwise, all of our official information, about China. Has gone through, the ministry of truth.
    1
  3138. In China, they are, coal powered Tesla’s.
    1
  3139. Ha ha, it’s time, we all rethink our interaction with China.
    1
  3140. And spoil, a proud Olympic tradition? 1936 Berlin. 2022 Beijing.
    1
  3141. My hope, is that the courageous, women of tennis. Fail to show, to a person. That will give a stronger message. Than the politicians, who are, hedging their bets, afraid of Beijing.
    1
  3142. With the resources we send them. They can still build a lot, of dangerous things. Look at how wealthy dictators can be, in the poorest of countries.
    1
  3143. It’s so nice, how the CCP, brings people together.
    1
  3144. Hello, scammers!!
    1
  3145.  @PB-rw4vh  Yes, Glenn will try to avoid, being an involuntary, organ donor.
    1
  3146. Funny, it doesn’t matter how smart he is. The regime, can steal, hold supplies, change the rules, and confiscate. You can’t take the factory, and go home. If they don’t want to play, by international rules.
    1
  3147. Thank you for covering this election. My thought was, who is best in wartime. But also, who is best in preparation, that prevents war. Another question, is there still much of an old guard in the KMT. That wants to join China, “because we are the rightful eirs”. Regardless of it’s validity. It could be played upon, by the CCP. Please don’t use the reunification word, when taking about Taiwan. That is CCP narrative, mind control.
    1
  3148. And break with Olympic tradition? 1936 Berlin. 2022 Beijing. My Chinese wife, told me today. That Chinese media, said there is one case of “W” flu ( my word), in Beijing. It came from a piece of Canadian mail.
    1
  3149. China could have developed responsibility.
    1
  3150. Africa’s resources, are building, China’s arms race. The new, colonialists.
    1
  3151. It’s a handy little trick. If they feel safe, to help themselves. They can easily be targeted, when convenient.
    1
  3152. Radical idea for security. Be a peaceful, open, rule of law country. Respect you neighbours autonomy, and they in turn, will love you. Rather than be afraid, of you. Try that CCP.
    1
  3153. Thank you, for what you do. You are helping the Chinese people, find than selves. And give hope, to all of us.
    1
  3154. What I don’t understand. My wife’s relatives, are professional and educated, from Shanghai. Yet they have horrible teeth, speak over each other, and make as much noise as possible, when eating. Eating with your mouth open, belching, while all talking at the same time, it’s so barnyard. What happened?? Is it as you say, from losing their grounding principles?
    1
  3155. Or calling occupied Tibet, China.
    1
  3156. If Kinmen Islanders, vote under duress, to join the mainland. It will be like Hong Kong. They can never leave. The vote, only goes one way.
    1
  3157. Of course, western companies, can have control, and full ownership, of critical Chinese assets!! No?? Then get the bloody hell out, of ours. Come on world, wake up.
    1
  3158. Six months ago, there was a lot of talk, about getting out of the market, and to hold cash. A lot of the big players, did.
    1
  3159.  @Geopolitics2049  What’s wrong with NTD? When all the information in China, and coming out of China. Goes through the ministry of truth. Who is left to speak up for, those that are sent off to camp. Or involuntary organ donors. Who can speak of the horrible pollution, no one! It’s actually very serious. This regime, is engaged in an arms race. We can’t have that, with today’s technology. It’s a matter of survival.
    1
  3160.  @scotttyson607  First born’s, are not more likely, to be one or the other gender.
    1
  3161. They can sell, to other criminal leaders, no?
    1
  3162. Or just good old insecurity and paranoia.
    1
  3163.  @lip124  I’ll take the W-Han Flu, any day. Over Xi,s promise, to build 3000 nuclear bombs. Or burning all the worlds coal, that will kill us, a little slower.
    1
  3164.  @balung  Yes, they are killing us with pollution, fishing out the oceans, ethnic cleansing, an arms race, etc. Billions of hungry people. They are killing the world, a lot faster, than the way it was headed.
    1
  3165. Tibetan children, are taken away, to China only schools. Not allowed to see their families. It’s bad enough to occupy their country. Destroying their culture, is evil.
    1
  3166. Xi, is only one head, or the party hydra.
    1
  3167. Short term gains, long term, off to camp.
    1
  3168. General Hostilities, is taking a run at, Coronation St.
    1
  3169. The lower classes, are only vulnerable. After ethnic, and religious groups, or those who speak up.
    1
  3170.  @drumpfdon760  The CCP, has that covered, in spades. They don’t need any help, “making friends”
    1
  3171. While we keep talking. They keep pushing. Anything that acts as a deterrent, like a unified voice. Backed up, by boots on the ground in Taiwan. The countries of the Asian sea, settling their boundary disputes.
    1
  3172. Wow, just like 1936. We say, a war would be devastating. They keep pushing, and building. If we don’t stand together, I it’ll be a lot more bad.
    1
  3173. They are busy trying to bankrupt Canada’s, agriculture, dairy producers. The USA is an important ally, but not always your friend. Still way more fair, than if China took over. I’m not keen on education camp.
    1
  3174.  @LeisRealTalk  Thank you Lei, if it wasn’t real. You wouldn’t need to talk about it.
    1
  3175. My wife’s cousin, and his wife, are coming back to Canada. Because their home city of Shanghai, is all shut down, for the Xi flu.
    1
  3176. You don’t need, to yell. We can see, your comment.
    1
  3177.  @theresachung703  Funny thing, about that. Nearly all the rental stock, in Vancouver. Is now, Chinese owned.
    1
  3178. The CCP is likely, working its influence in Russia. They would be thrilled, to control Russia. Like North Korea, Taiwan, and Xinjiang. It has, so many resources.
    1
  3179. They could have followed the Hong Kong model.
    1
  3180. Thank you Lei. Two comments. While we focus on political division. The whole world is threatened, by China. We need to be speaking with one strong voice. An important opportunity was missed. The Hong Kong people, should of had the chance to vote, on reunification. It was their lives, their home, at stake. Now, they have no voice.

  3181. The leather wallet, is not made in China.

  3182. Can we please, have a peaceful China. It really would be better, for everyone. But, not with this gang.
    1
  3183. NTD, has fantastic content. But for some reason, very little coverage.
    1
  3184. What else, was happening, when they invaded Tibet?
    1
  3185.  @IvanNguyen-ky6nn  Compared to the other things the CCP does, not likely.
    1
  3186.  @angelicachavez860  Latin for.

  3187. Ouch, that’s quite a claim. I hope it isn’t so.
    1
  3188. USA bad, west bad, anyone but the CCP.
    1
  3189. “The state has no business, in the bedrooms of the nation” An admiral quote, from former, prime minister, Pierre Trudeau. As true as this is. It’s a tough problem, to reduce the worlds population. To a level, that we don’t consume, everything.
    1
  3190. It’s called, General Hostilities, it’s going after Coronation St.
    1
  3191.  @angusmckenzie9622  Ooo, the list is long. We are free to criticize, the west, all we want. This in of itself, should be recognized as a strength, not a fault. Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, are all large, small population countries. Next to a large population country. They have been invaded, and occupied. Their cultures, are being destroyed. I am also in a large, low population country, next to a large powerful country. We get bullied with tariffs, by the larger country. But so far, we have had the freedom to exist. I am Canadian. If Russia, or China, was next door…..
    1
  3192. Rather than preservation, it’s a mindset of scarcity. When there are a billion others. Along with a history of famine. This makes an aspect of TCM, unconscionable. Any rare, or endangered species, is more desirable.
    1
  3193. Thank you for sharing your trip. Too bad, the pollution is “normal”.
    1
  3194.  @Vogeln  You make a good point. Lei, does promote traditional values.
    1
  3195. China, doesn’t recognize anyone’s borders.

  3196. If it’s rare and endangered, TCM is interested!!

  3199. Is the narcissist personality, more, or less prevalent in some cultures. Is there a social benefit at some level? For a society to have this much of a range of personality.

  3202. This horrible useless war. Prevent another, protect Taiwan, and give the South China Sea, back to its countries.

  3203. You have the inside scoop? Tell all.

  3208. Yay, all this, increases the cost’s.

  3209. Surprise, who would have guessed, that it is encouraged by TikTok. The app, amongst others, created by the Chinese military. Yet banned, in it's home country. Because it is designed, to be a negative influence.
    1
  3210. Any alcohol, is poison. Good luck, with your brother.
    1
  3211. Get rid of TikTok now. It is the Chinese military.

  3212.  @dingleberry4234  Allowing TikTok, is already stupid.

  3213. Watch how fast, the tourists can paddle a canoe!!

  3214. Remember when, we used to leave Christmas gifts, for the garbage men? Did that happen, in the states too?

  3215. What a thing to say. In a country, that was created, and built, by immigrants

  3217. Made in C,,,,. Fentinol. W,,,, Flu.

    1
  3221. I was just in the lovely country of Taiwan. Out of respect to the locals, I wore a mask. Because they were. China next door, is having a “flu” epidemic, right now. Because they no longer test for Covid. .014x1,400,000,000=19,600,000 fatalities, not the 93,150 as reported Feb 9, 2023
    1
  3222. The most important safety. Is don’t use TicTok. It is tracked, and influenced by, the CCP.

  3227. Nobody is visiting China, the new colonialists.
    1
  3228. #1, we can buy, and make local. Stop buying disposable junk, made by the biggest polluter, China. Bigger than all the western countries combined. They don’t care the cost, to make us cheaper EV’s.

  3229. You would never want to hold out, on a mom and pop shop. But a McDonald’s! Good for him, he is a good man.

  3230. GDP, is a poor measure of economic health. It measures, productive, and unproductive activity. Employment rates, don’t count the not participating, prisoners, etc. It also, shouldn’t include the military, policing, health, teachers, those are expenses.

  3231. An average house in Vancouver is still somewhere way over a million, and going up. While the house of cards is collapsing.

  3233. Super smeller, is probably how we are all wired. Prior to industrialization, chemical scents, and living indoors. Deadening this ability.

  3234. Do you need cell connection, for it?
    1
  3235. Trade with Asia, very good. More connection with China, dangerous. 🦨💩🍯 They are at war with us.
    1
  3236. While we are all watching the Ukraine. Taiwan needs protection. To prevent, another tragedy.
    1
  3237. This is so unnecessary, all those people, and property destroyed. Prevent it in Taiwan, and the South China Sea countries.
    1
  3238. Electric or whatever. We will still be converting nature, into trash. Walking naked, is cleaner greener. The only humans, who are environmentally friendly, are primitive bush tribes. I don’t know what the answer is for the billions of us.
    1
  3239.  @drbuckley1 Fukushima? Take a look at, routine Chinese reactor waste water releases, it’s far more than Fukushima.
    1
  3240. Like the “old maps” with red crayon, and a nine dashed line. Justifying a military occupation.
    1
  3241. So, Chinese food and clothing? Ouch!
    1
  3242. There is a weight penalty. But I still bring wool, for the wet warmth. Just in case. Packing for good weather, is easy.
    1
  3243. I'm interested in ponchos. My daughter and I, just did the west coast trail. On rain days, she wore a poncho. While I had, a frog tog rain jacket, and pack cover. Her and her gear, was steam cooked, while my pack and I, stayed dry. Luckily it wasn't super cold, or lasted more than a full day/night. The heavy fog did tho. Does the WI poncho, breathe?
    1
  3244. I’m not scared of cold cold. South west coast Canada, rain forest. Its wet wet soaking wet.

  3245. Or not. With every technological advancement. There is a corresponding population increase. We can see where that is heading.

  3246. He was wildly successful in business, is super smart, and is trying to do good things with his wealth. Some people, hate him for that? You can’t fix stupid.

  3247. Don’t buy Chinese products. Slow the increase of coal burning, and military build up there. Make less things, close to home.
    1
  3248. I will buy anything from Taiwan. But not Klymit. Mine was a waste of money. We did an 11 day hike. As our collective fuel cans ran low. We ended up using my daughter’s jetboil, to conserve fuel. It doesn’t simmer, but it sure is efficient.
    1
  3249. Does it work well enough, between the back and a pack? That’s the sweat place.
    1
  3250.  @Not-Sorry2011  I’ve seen lots of these comments too. No idea, where it’s coming from.
    1
  3251. Processed foods, processed foods. Poison foods.
    1
  3252. Huge duties, should be put on Chinese products. They build mines like this, without worry for the people, the environment, or emissions. While we, at least try to do, the right thing.
    1
  3253. Wow, that is assault. This guy, should be sent far away.
    1
  3254. It was sold as a very efficient turbo diesel, in Canada and other places. Before the US. That is what it was designed to be. The gasoline engine, made it average.
    1
  3255. Before praising China for electric cars. Take a look at their suicide levels of coal burning, first.
    1
  3256.  @theymaycry9725 I can’t say about other places. But coming from China. It means, far less pollution, and escaping the social credit system. Where as a citizen, you have no say, or rights.
    1
  3257. Yes, we are collectively to blame. But it won’t matter, if China keeps building nukes, its military, and two new coal plants a week. Prompting the other countries, to build their military’s, in defence.
    1
  3258. The world is still dependent, on dirty Chinese steel, and products. There should be a huge tariff, on it all.
    1
  3259. I’d be most impressed. If they are doing this. Outside of the Chinese supply chain.
    1
  3260. At Hertz, the Nissan was great, the Kia so so. The Tesla, didn’t even consider it. When the metals for a Tesla don’t come from the most polluting China. When they reduce burning coal. The life cycle of the vehicle, is 30+ yrs. When the life cycle of an EV is actually greener, than an economy ice, from the west. I’ll take a look. “Good for the environment” is as stupid as. Financing Chinas military, with our purchases.
    1
  3261.  @Gilvids  Projection, and deflection!! Projection, and deflection!!
    1
  3262. Define suicide. China is still building coal fired plants. We need more nuclear, and equivalents.
    1
  3263. Define life cycle? All my Volvo’s, are 24yrs, and older. Sourcing critical comments, from China, is a big risk.
    1
  3264. When you mention American SUV’s and trucks. Don’t forget the big one, Chinese coal burning, and raw pollution.

  3265. Tell us, what you really think!!

  3271. The funniest thing, for me. Is when a gull, has a small starfish, stuck in its throat. They do it a lot, in coastal B.C. Canada.

  3272. Please tell me, the correct answers, are edited out. That this, is for entertainment value.
    1
  3273. The %2, was fake news.
    1
  3274. Ask a Tibetan, or an Uighur from East Turkestan, a Falun Gong, a political protester in China?
    1
  3275.  @RahulYadav-uv8fz  I know it’s almost impossible. But do the people know, their leaders are selling them out.
    1
  3276. Anything that cuts, Chinas suicidal coal use.
    1
  3277.  @rafanadir6958  A couple of hundred metres of elevation. Can generate a lot of hydro power. The province of Quebec, is not mountainous. But has huge dams, and hydro power.
    1
  3278. Open sourced? This is the CCP. We only see, what they want us to see.
    1
  3279. The Chinese arms race. Is a great investment, for the rest of us.
    1
  3280. Right now China is building the biggest dam, up in the Himalayas, in it’s occupied territories. To the Tibetan’s, rivers are sacred, and to let flow freely.
    1
  3281. Of course, China does well. It has more resources, than North Korea.
    1
  3282. The USA still has accounting standards, legal recourse, stock ownership. And, isn’t at war, with the rest of the world. Send your money to China, you are supporting, their arms race. If they decide to keep your money, good luck.
    1
  3283. Thos’e kids don’t even know, about Tiananmen, or Hong Kong, or Tibet, or…. That a paranoid dictatorship only cares about one thing.
    1
  3284. Anything that also requires less enrichment? Currently we rely upon Russia, for most of it.
    1
  3285. A proud Olympic tradition. 1936 2022
    1
  3286. Like with the w&H@n f, we are not going to get those stats. Everything they can control, goes through, the ministry of truth. Even here, on our media. A comment like this is censored? But we can criticize, the west, the president, or prime minister, our political system, to no end??
    1
  3287. Lams to the slaughter. Invest in China, you don’t own the shares, the state does. Accounting is opaque. They are openly at war with us. If you do, you are supporting an arms race. They have promised to build, 3000 nukes.
    1
  3288. Cary on, everything upsets the Chinese. Climate talks? And burn more coal.
    1
  3289. I was surprised by his tone of. Let the Chinese government, get away with its crap, they like me.
    1
  3290. At the management level. A great way, to run a country. Instead of, what's best for the party, and how do we make the other look wrong/bad.
    1
  3291. As long as we invest in China. They will continue their arms race. It’s time for tough love.
    1
  3292. If you take the full lifecycle of EV’s. (When the battery metals come from China). Compared to a Toyota sedan…. Try again. We are not “saving” the environment. This little motor is cool. But emissions, will be tough to square.
    1
  3293. I heard, some NA shippers, are being bypassed. So the containers, can get to China faster.
    1
  3294. Send your money to China. Invest in their military. What could go wrong?
    1
  3295. EV’s are terrible for a different reason. The metals are processed in China. With little regard for pollution. They have promised to increase CO2 emissions till 2930. Currently it is more than all the western countries. Supporting labour camps, surveillance, colonialism, and military buildup. All good stuff.
    1
  3296. It’s not cool to be colonialist any more. So why are we ignoring China?
    1
  3297. What is a fair price? When you don’t want to sell, your multi generational farm.
    1
  3298.  @Marhowl  Hi, lost your message. 5 Silver AWD’s would be quite a meeting. But not likely to ever happen. Nova Scotia, is a great place, my daughter went to University there. In December, you say? Much better to visit, in summer, with its maritime climate. I’ll just send out, the viscous coupling. You can explain to airline security, that it’s not a bomb.
    1
  3299. Investing in China, that could be a big problem.
    1
  3300. Just to be the devils advocate. Haven’t immigrants, always done the crappy jobs, that local born are too good for. My kids won’t do those jobs. They have never gone hungry.
    1
  3301. Hitler and Stalin, Hitler and Stalin, Mao killed way more of his people than those other two combined. Tore down what was a great culture. Is inspiration, for the current dictator. To kill many more.
    1
  3302. But, will he cut back the corporate lobby? (Make healthcare for the people, and affordable)
    1
  3303. Trump, that is.
    1
  3304. This is not about right or left. It will end up with a small group, hanging onto power. Determined to hold on, at the expense of everyone. Say no to biometrics, and digital cash. Beyond a certain level. This has to be debated. Or we will be China, or North Korea, one day.
    1
  3305. I have two of these, in silver. I run mine, with the propeller shaft out. To save the AWD system, weight, and fuel. Sometimes putting it back in for winter. (the real trick is, I have a 98XC, for snow, and back roads). I do have a spare prop shaft, and viscous coupler. it isn't pretty. If you can arrange shipping, and want it? I'll give it to you. Problem, I'm in Vancouver Canada.
    1
  3306. Pollution at source. Most battery metals and components are made in increasingly coal fired China. The metals are processed, without western emission, or labour rules. Very nasty. But never included, in the lifecycle calculations.
    1
  3307. Ask a Tibetan, someone from East Turkestan, a Falun Gong, or political protester in China.
    1
  3308.  @satviklodha5219 If you are concerned of these things. Please, take a look at what China is doing, in its occupied territories.
    1
  3309. We fail to count. That most of these EV’s, solar panels, battery packs, and electronics, are made in China. China annually increases its coal burning. Is still by far the largest polluter. Controls cobalt mining, and other resource extraction. That completely ignores any human rights. They are fishing out the worlds oceans. While threatening us with a growing military. Stop sending your money, and investments there. Support the Chinese people, and the people of the world.
    1
  3310. I’m 64, over the last couple of years, I’ve dropped the extra weight, and unfortunately muscle mass with it. Now I can’t swim, in moderately cold water. When I get cold, I seem to then stay cold. Is there a way to get it back.
    1
  3311. He made a good point. “Don’t end up, like me”
    1
  3312. And,, we turn a blind eye, to the camps in the occupied territories, of Tibet, East Turkestan, Inner Mongolia. If they can be ruthless with their own, imagine being ethnic, or religious. Organ harvesting.
    1
  3313. We lost my 96 yr old stepdad a few years ago. He was with a Canadian minesweeper, prepping those beaches, before the landings. He never did want to talk about the war. We seriously need to stop enabling China. They are at war with us right now.
    1
  3314. My stepdad, Canadian navy. The man was made of the soil, of long summers, and long winters, of Manitoba farm country.
    1
  3315. Another important point. If any of it is made in China, it was made with brown coal. (Suicide). Not to mention the human rights issues, and financing their military.
    1
  3316. Don’t worry, we will be flooded with Chinese EV’s soon. Mmm, made by coal.
    1
  3317. The biggest joke is, none of the methods for generating electricity, are environmentally neutral. Especially in China, where last year, they built two new coal plants a week. 270 more are planned for the next two years. Yay world!!!
    1
  3318. Meanwhile, in China.
    1
  3319. In 2020 the hospital’s were overwhelmed with the W…. flu. Today they are not. Can I say this. Without the haters, jumping all over me?
    1
  3320. If Hamas wanted sympathy. They wouldn’t have killed anyone. While treating their captives, decently. Like Putin, they are ruthless. So they get, what they asked for.

  3321. I thought the anti semetics, are extreme right republicans.
    1
  3322. That why we still have, Tic Tok
    1
  3323. Not a comment, that Disney is pro CCP messaging. Just to get into a big market. Even though it undermines, our whole western society.
    1
  3324. Wuhan flu. For clarity, honesty.
    1
  3325. We need to be able to, respectfully debate issues again. Political division, will be our downfall.
    1
  3326. Same with Tic Tok, reporting back to the Chinese military. Look up, the Chinese fishing fleet, they are taking all the worlds fish. This is going to be more than serious, when those fisheries all collapse.
    1
  3327. In custody is too expensive. Some kind of public shaming, involving old produce, may work.
    1
  3328. Hell, I thought they were coming straight through, to Canada.
    1
  3329. I can’t answer that. But whatever it was. I am the victim. I’m always the victim here. Don’t forget it.
    1
  3330. At 95, maybe the clock ran out. “I’d rather die peacefully at home, in the arms of my one and only” Who knows? Maybe the dog was old too? His wife, would rather be with him, wherever he was going?
    1
  3331.  @skazka3789  Thank you, for your deflection. Enjoy your freedom.
    1
  3332. Is Enes still playing. Or has he been shut out?
    1
  3333. How is it possible, that someone like that, can have a gun?
    1
  3334. The peaceful transition of power, is the cornerstone of democracy. Stand up good people, who are sick of division, tyrants, and the corporate lobby. Go into politics, the legal system, and business.
    1
  3335. A Canadian here, with a daughter. I’m feeling for this strong proud family. The world needs, a strong team player USA right now. Working with its allies, not against. Anybody, but Trump.
    1
  3336. What a mess. Meanwhile, China fills the void.
    1
  3337. Getting China to stop, being the supplier and the banker for the cartels, is the ticket. But they are conducting unrestricted warfare.
    1
  3338. If you’re not native, you’re an immigrant. We all are, or were.
    1
  3339.  @skazka3789  Sure I'm a foreigner. But I do have more Chinese born family, than not. Yes I've been to China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and lots of other Asian countries. Without me prompting, my wife agreed, the Taiwanese people are way more grounded and polite. They haven't spent their lives, not being allowed to have unapproved religious and political views. Liberating Tibetans from themselves, with an army? Try again. How about, the happy people of Xinjiang?
    1
  3340.  @skazka3789  A little tidbit for you, to look up "the four olds". When Mao, liberated the Chinese people from their culture, and many many of their lives.
    1
  3341. Chinese and Russian propaganda, dividing us. Why is it allowed?
    1
  3342.  @joojlee  You just said it yourself. “Extremely unlikely”, that’s the difference. It’s just semantics. I’m not big on, absolutes. Check out Garry Larson, he has the best handle, on human exceptionalism.
    1
  3343. Wow, that makes it look like, we want to join the USA. Get in on the fun. No thanks.
    1
  3344. Calling him and them out, just plays into the victimhood that he is selling. Yes, in place of a better strategy, vote. This time around, is about preserving democracy. 25k to get young people into houses, raises the prices and adds to the debt. Like pardoning college debt, it doesn’t fix the problems.
    1
  3345. Despite mr T being a big ol strap on. He did call bull s,,, on the nasty stuff the Chinese government is doing. We were asleep, so it may be what was needed, to save our asses. From a much larger strap on.
    1
  3346. Wow here we are again, three years later. Had to watch.
    1
  3347. They look hilarious, when they eat a small starfish. With the spikes, stuck in their neck.
    1
  3348.  @malcolmgibson5088  Won't they be surprised, when China starts taking what it wants.
    1
  3349. Russia will have nothing left, to defend itself from the Chinese. Oh! That was the idea!!
    1
  3350. That was a road. With a snow crossing.
    1
  3351. Ratio of? Innocent young men, per meter square, of captured territory.
    1
  3352. I’m against the invasion of Ukraine. I’m against the invasion of Taiwan. Im against the incursions into Bhutan. I’m against the occupied territories of China.
    1
  3353. As classy and beautiful as that was. Seeing three big guys do a running tackle, would have also been entertaining.
    1
  3354. I’m against anyone invading anyone. Russia go home, protect your China border. Defend Taiwan. Against, 🦨💩🍯
    1
  3355. This is nasty. Also why we need to defend Taiwan. 🦨💩🍯 Prevention.
    1
  3356. Another thing, by supplying the drugs. China, is engaged in chemical warfare, against us.
    1
  3357. Shining a light, on the Chinese, influence propaganda, helps.
    1
  3358. Then when their friend China invades, what will they do?
    1
  3359. It’s China, they will need to worry about.
    1
  3360.  @The-Droll-and-LazyJoker  A little while ago, Tibet was Tibet, Xinjiang was East Turkestan. Chines have been everywhere. So it must all be traditional territory.
    1
  3361. Putin is successfully destroying two countries. Leaving the back door wide open, to the Chinese.
    1
  3362. Remember, most of the drugs come from China. It’s called chemical warfare.
    1
  3363. Wow, and these contract workers, don’t have benefits, or pensions.
    1
  3364.  @DavidMcMillan888  I don't know? Other then, shine a light on their lies, and subversion. Lobby politicians, and institutions. Make sure it's clear, that it is not against the people, but about their "government".
    1
  3365.  @teebob21  It's a tease. Implying no springs, or loading mechanism.
    1
  3366. Surely, if there wasn’t a big interruption. Given time, some other animal, would have jumped the shark, and developed a big brain. (“Smart enough” to burn all the coal, and make advanced weapons). Actually, it’s every time we advance, our population explodes. That’s the dangerous part.
    1
  3367. They were probably told. That they would be tortured, then killed, if they surrendered.
    1
  3368. Next we will have to save Russia, from the Chinese. After they have completely exhausted themselves. Chinas latest map, includes more of other countries, including a bit of Russia. They are probably testing, for a response.
    1
  3369. Stupid Russians, leaving the back door wide open, to China. Will we protect them, from that?
    1
  3370. While we buy trinkets. Think of the people in Tibet and Xinjiang.
    1
  3371. When you are so close to the edge. How many stories were never told. By those who didn’t quite make it.
    1
  3372.  @yxtan186  I’ve visited family in China. I’m married to a Chinese lady, and her son. In a few days we are going to visit Taipei. The home of traditional Chinese culture. (Mao, didn’t get a chance to destroy it all). Some of you, misunderstand my comments. I have no problem with China, or the Chinese people. It is the government, that the world has exception for. It will cheat, imprison, pollute, and steal anything, to stay in power. That’s what we don’t like.
    1
  3373. In the survey, was it USA people, or a cross section of anglophones?
    1
  3374.  @evan.mcleod  There is traditional Chinese culture in Taiwan.
    1
  3375.  @JingtongHu  Are you saying. Anyone, can go visit the Uighur people, in Xinjiang? Without government handlers, or any surveillance on you, or them. We know, that all the information, goes through, the ministry of truth. Making it, by definition, false.
    1
  3376. You make Canada sound underpopulated. From an environmental perspective, we have too many. Oh Oh, like everywhere else.
    1
  3377.  @terryomalley1974  It got up to 49.6c, or 121f, then two days later there was a forest fire, that burnt down the town. Very sad.
    1
  3378. In China, you’re not allowed to say you are. It is competition, for the government. Think, Tibetan, Uighur, Falun gong, etc. Like poverty, they are outlawed.
    1
  3379. Good thing mainland China, showed up for photo bombing. The Hong Kong team showed up ten hours earlier, but held up. Till the mainlanders came, to hold ceremonies.
    1
  3380. The irony, is they will be called communists, by big business. For having the right, to speak out, for better conditions. We live in reverso world.
    1
  3381. Who knows? Maybe things like healthcare, will be for the people one day. Instead of bankrupting the people.
    1
  3382. You guys will defend to the death, the free enterprise system. While going bankrupt, at the free run of lobbyists. Irony, Mr drain the swamp, made it worse!!
    1
  3383. A couple of little nuggets. He builds his cars in China. China steals tech. Has forced labour. China, worlds largest coal user, largest polluter. He can’t get his money out. So has to sing, the party propaganda song. To keep his company. Apple too. This is not, how you advance humanity.
    1
  3384. When she said tracker…. If we are not vigilant. We will have a surveillance state, like China.
    1
  3385. Real? If these interviews, were done on the street in China. They were checked, and edited, for “correct content”. How real is that?
    1
  3386. Philippines, may you get your other islands back. Long live Taiwan.
    1
  3387. Re selling all that cheap Russian oil. Has been quite the bonus, for India.
    1
  3388. And upon the innocent, in the occupied territories of China.
    1
  3389. I also pray, that the Taiwanese, are never in this position. The Chinese are brainwashed, in a similar way, as the Russian public. But more so.
    1
  3390. Mr Zalensky, is referring to, a possible 90 dash line, and beyond. If another ruthless regime, is emboldened further.
    1
  3391. If you’ve been told, to not trust the credible sources, and believe it. Fact checking, is going to be pretty hard.
    1
  3392. Vietnam. Incredible forgiveness-moving forward. China selectively stokes old grievances. While making lots of new ones.
    1
  3393. Did you say, bordering with Xinjiang? That’s occupied territory already, why not the rest, Myanmar too?
    1
  3394. Now it’s Chinas turn. They have debt trapped the DRC into signing over mineral rights, and who knows what else.
    1
  3395. I thought for sure, this was going to be about, China occupying Tibet. To control water.
    1
  3396. Why do people keep saying, nothing fake? Insisting on it??
    1
  3397. Don’t download any Chinese apps. That’s also, how they get in.
    1
  3398. Make friends with Pakistan. The CCP is not their friend. They are being used.
    1
  3399. Remember. The biggest coal market. Is also, the biggest EV market.

  3400. Not a John Candy, kind of cabin holiday?

  3401.  @SoldierOfFate  Being part of a criminal organization, is not safe. If the party decides, you’re not singing the right tune. You’re Jack Ma, or off to camp, if not a celebrity.
    1
  3402.  @helinnotsleepingyet8768  One or two billion zombies, (if you include expats), is one hell of a weapon.

  3403. Also, a good litmus test. Keep up the good work.
    1
  3404.  @sanctuary6285  As a fellow Canadian, I am very grateful for our healthcare, freedom of speech and association. But I’m afraid to remind you, that we have a horrible debt problem, same as most western countries.
    1
  3405. They may keep team HK, for appearances. That's what the Olympics are, for a Dictatorship. Appearances.
    1
  3406. Identifying as victims, they plan to build thousands of nukes. But, they have pandas. So, all is ok.
    1
  3407. Why isn’t the Muslim world, avenging the Uighur’s?? Because they are different? If we did anything like the CCP persecution of them, in the west!!!
    1
  3408. A proud Olympic tradition. 1936 2022
    1
  3409. A wall of Chinese people, they are expendable, for the party.
    1
  3410. They are paranoid, and promised to build 1300 nukes. Not good at all.
    1
  3411. A proud Olympic tradition. Berlin 1936. Beijing 2022. Has anyone seen the accommodations, and food service. For the Chinese athletes? The foreigners, are getting shit.
    1
  3412. What hair, my Chinese wife has, is like steel wires. I do like the softer kind.
    1
  3413. The Chinese people need to know, and care. That their leaders, are not peaceful. That they jeopardize, everyone’s life, and safety.
    1
  3414. Didn’t the French build the lab, after sars. Then the Chinese military took it over?
    1
  3415. So, we know this is a farce, and illustrates how serious the threat the CCP is, to everyone. Problem is, most people have no idea, until it’s too late. Lobby your winter sports facility. To hold a no COVID, no ethnic-religious cleansing, no China, winter games, for 2022.
    1
  3416.  @laowhy86  Thank you for replying. Best case, they didn’t spin it to slander you. Yet.
    1
  3417. In Canada our sweets and candy bars, used to be to a European or British taste. Now they are almost always too sweet.
    1
  3418. They’ve done one thing, hoarding Gold. For a dominant position, when there is a currency reset.
    1
  3419. Their values are upside down. There are so many women, with their children, living in the most expensive houses, in Vancouver. While their husbands work in China. They are so poor, while they think they are rich, and better than everyone.
    1
  3420. If most of the Chinese generated media, goes through the ministry of truth. By definition, none of it is legit.
    1
  3421. The CCP is in our media, they play up the divisions.
    1
  3422.  @agalah408  A, that’s terrible. I suppose, the people are too polite, to do anything about it. There needs to be a universal deterrent. Send them home on one of their fishing boats.
    1
  3423.  Joan Rivers  Joan, if we sink to their level, we are no better.
    1
  3424.  @maggieliao4651  Every place has 5000 yrs history. What happened 2000 years ago, has no context to, the things the CCP are doing now. Someone, has to get information out of the country. When the narrative is controlled, so tightly.
    1
  3425. Taiwan was the best at monitoring what was happening, in China. Listen to them for future outbreaks. 🍯
    1
  3426. And Canada, feeds them too. Look up, the Chinese fishing fleet. They are stripping the world's oceans. There is going to be a world wide disaster, from collapsing fish stocks. China has a tiny polluted coastline. Yet they sell seafood, in Canadian grocery stores. Cheaper, than locally caught. Even though, we have a huge coast, and it's a hell of a lot cleaner.
    1
  3427. Right now they are swarming another Philippine shoal, with 220 boats. The affected countries need to unite.
    1
  3428.  @randomgirlontheinternet171  do your magic. If you can make the CCP non-existent. You would be a hero. Likely save a world war.
    1
  3429. Mmmmm, but capitalism, with environmental, legal, and labour laws, that are tailored to the fortunate few. We can’t compete, we can only cut them off.

  3430. Anyone recommend, other down bags. That can go solo, and double. Well below freezing. Decent price?

  3431.  @Namaru12  Freedom comes with responsibility. Every Swiss home has a gun. They don’t shoot each other, its not a toy. Free speech, is for debate, not to incite sedition. (Then walk away). While we argue semantics. The CCP is out to F up the world. Divided we fall. Divided we fall, talk to those, across the political divide.

  3432. A lot of people say they hate cops. Try dealing with crazy, angry, unpredictable, all the time?

    1
  3437.  @Micha-qv5uf  You'd be surprised how easy it is, and cheap. To switch to simple non processed foods. You don't need to go organic. You're way ahead, cutting out the sugar, breads, seed oils, processed, foods.
    1
  3438. So even that is stolen. Amazing. Elon, is a dumb ass, for giving his Tech to them. Became trapped, and is a spokesperson for the regime.

  3439. Where’s Peng Shuai? Where’s chained up peasant lady?

  3452.  @basscannonjake1235  Think about this, China has cornered the steel, and other metals industry. They still have cheap labour, forced labour etc. They intend to take over the world. So, I wouldn't brush off, what they are doing. They can build volume, at low cost. While the USA builds hopefully quality, slowly, at the highest cost. The corporations running the military, and healthcare, are determined to bankrupt the country. Remember what happened to the Soviet Union? The arms race, bankrupted them.

  3453. China will continue pushing all the boundaries, in every way. Chinese diplomacy is to get the opponent to back off. Not for win win.

  3454. It’s efficacy, is likely at best, as good as the placebo effect. Why I hate it. Is their insistence on killing any animal that is rare, and endangered. It doesn’t matter what it is. It just has to be rare, or have a penis.

  3455. Maybe we have been wrong, all this time. Xi, is not poo, incarnate. He is a fairy, with a too too, and a special, wish wand. Poverty be gone, woosh!!! Opposition be gone, woosh!! Falung gong, be gone, cut cut!! Religion, woosh!! Ethnic minorities, cut, woosh, clang!! “Ohh what fun” Said the dancing fairy. Pollution, inequality, woosh!! Other countries borders, woosh!!

  3468.  @TitusAzzurro  Hi Tiziano, Thanks for your kind words. Everyone has their story, (why we shouldn’t be quick, to judge others). The ending was difficult for gramps. Mom went quickly, but dad carried on for two years. We had window visits. With his dementia, he would remember mom and cry. He couldn’t understand, where she had gone. But taken, in another light. They were both depression era, farm kids. Survived the big war. Loved to play music. Then they both had, unhappy marriages. We’re each widow, and widower. Their second marriage together, was almost 50 years of utmost affection and devotion. Overall, they were blessed, and loved by many. Luckier lives, than most people.
    1
  3469. Easy, just stop being dicks. Give back the occupied territories, allow religion, free speech, reduce pollution, embrace minorities, leave the fish in the ocean, for all the world, close the work camps, etc. peace, and prosperity.

  3473. A generation away from China? My Chinese born wife, is horrible in her aversion to beautiful brown people. But my stepson, he is a full on social butterfly. He gets along with anyone. It is very frustrating for me, and It’s not directed at me. Except when they call us foreigners, in our own land. I don’t want anyone’s kids in a camp. Or live organ donor. Always expose the CCP.

  3482. Something to get out there. Trudeau has hired his friend David Johnston, to look into CCP election meddling. David, is up to his hairline, in his own China collusion. He will not restore any confidence, (or security) in the Canadian government. If people know his background.

  3507. Free speech, is the only tool, for the oppressed. China can be a wonderful, peaceful, prosperous, democracy, if they want to. Look at Taiwan, for an example.
    1
  3508.  @peterseth3296  Freedom of speech, is the only tool available, to the oppressed. It is essential, in a healthy society. Are you aware, that if you visit Xinjiang, it is within a controlled bubble. You only see, what they want you to see. If there was any “terrorism”, it would have been to defend their home, culture, and family. That is what you are supposed to do, when your land is occupied.
    1
  3509.  @peterseth3296  Technically yes. But there is a big difference. China, has state controls, on all media, and messaging. They use this machine, to hide behind, and to control what they're people, and outsiders do, and think. It is an instrument for unconventional war, to suppress ethnic minorities, religious groups, and create dissent elsewhere.  The other side of the coin, is face down. It needs to see the light of day. A few people, getting facts out, verified, and disseminated, is crucial.

  3515. My worry is, amongst many China ones. As the world is warming up to using nuclear power. For the cleanest, base load power. The chances of a power plant failure in China, is very high. If we account for corruption, cutting corners, and cover ups.

  3519.  @Waverlyduli  You nailed it. Not to mention, he did his best, to erase his own culture while doing it. It’s like saying. How dare you!! Those are my people, to starve, torture, and subjugate. Now we have Mao 2.0. May the Chinese people see through it, and have the strength to say no more.

  3535. Ok, so that’s four, on the sea side. How many reactors, does China have?
    1
  3536.  @abcdedfg8340 I meant “proof” in air quotes. They call Uighur’s or Tibetan’s terrorists, just for following their religion. Or a regular person protesting, can conveniently be labeled a terrorist or drug dealer.

  3540. No way, the people in China can enjoy lots of special privileges. Especially if they are from the occupied territories, 28 years old, and in good health. Or point out that Mao set out to destroy Chinese culture. Ect ect. There are so many ways, to get special treatment.

  3543.  @Begbras Not like China, the CCP weaponizes it. Vietnam, has been attacked and occupied for so much of its recent history. Go there, the people are friendly and welcoming. Taiwan is constantly under the threat of China. Yet the people are way calmer and nicer than the Chinese.

  3549. Chinese people need to step up. There are a lot of underground activities, in the Chinese community overseas. The average person, has no idea. Of the parallel, no tax, or law economy, in the Chinese communities. This also provides, freedom of movement, for the CCP operatives.
    1
  3550. Taiwan is awesome, protect it. It is the hope for world peace. All China has to do, is be like Taiwan. Then there is no need for an arms build up. The Chinese people, can experience peace, and prosperity. Legal, and pollution regulations, for the people. They're occupied territories, can be free again. The world would love China again. Simple.

  3556.  @janesees5578  Thank you for your opinion. My comment is about the dangerous use of antibiotics. How it seems to be a social norm in China. As evidenced by my wife, who is a lot more educated than the norm. Publicly? Nobody here knows me, or her. We have both learned a lot of things together. We have visited many countries. But after going to China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan together. She remarked, how empty her old friends and workmates are. They only talk about money, or the things they have. That the people it Taiwan, were so grounded, and polite. We were both very impressed with Taiwan. It is special. I wouldn't go there now, but HK was interesting too.

  3578.  @EuropeanWren  Not even close. Putin shows his hand, by direct assault, and also subterfuge. He isn't as strong as we thought. Meanwhile the CCP is engaged in unrestricted warfare. Influencing international councils, like the human rights council? Financing, and supplying fentanyl precursors, to Mexican gangs. Pushing all their borders, building villages across the lines. Aggressively building their military. But mostly, they are in the algorithms, and minds of all the large corporations. Who don't want to be cut off from potential market share. You can't criticize china, but anything that creates division in western society is ok. With their debt trapping smaller countries, it's colonialism with a smile and a handshake. If we don't challenge them. Many of us will end up like the Tibetan's, and Uighur's. Or even their own people, who are under absolute control.

  3579. Why not? The average person believes Chinese stats, and prosperity for all.

  3580. Who didn’t vote?

  3581. Does this sound plausible. Putin had Xi’s blessing, to go after Ukraine. Iran (who is helping Hamas), is currently backed by China. This can go two directions. Russia exhausts itself, and its arable land, oil, nukes, water, is easy pickings. Easy like, Tibet and Xinjiang were. With enough distractions, the USA won’t defend free Taiwan. Seizing more territory, Xi stays on as emperor. Just as his people, were about to revolt. Luck us, we get education camp, and organ donor cards.

  3582. Do not, do not, do a genealogy test, that is tied to China. They are collecting everyone’s data. They have accused the USA, of working on genetically targeted weapons. So you know what that means, they are.

  3619. My Chinese wife would get a kick out of this. She is a wonderful cook. Except for the heavy use of, salt, sugar, msg sauces, on everything. Making a variety of interesting dishes, all taste the same.

  3620. No mention, of China’s enabling the regime?

  3621.  @veronicacobb8691 Hi Veronica, My opinion. Here’s 4cents worth. It started with television, and movies at home. Our stimulation and entertainment, is at the turn of a knob, touch of a screen. We are siloed, watching our iPads, our phones. Is it two generations ago now? That we got together to make music, play charades, go dancing. (That sounds a lot healthier) even though we did drink and drive, etc. Is the back door always open, at your neighbours, and friends houses? Ten years ago, we were traveling in the Philippines, going to smaller islands. I would get up really early, and walk through a small fishing village. The kids were happy and running around. They’d show me their ball, or their rooster. They were poor, but didn’t know it. They had a village, watching out for them. They didn’t have phones. My heart swells, just remembering those happy faces. Create community however you can. Join a hiking, flower arranging, etc, club.

  3622. Free is not the word. In both countries, the people pay for the system. One is universal, it’s run for the benefit of those people. It’s not perfect, but it tries. The other, is an insurance scam.

  3623. Natural gas is good. If it’s displacing dirtier fuels. At present, we don’t do anything, that is “good” for the environment. The easiest thing, is to not buy Chinese products. Consume less.

  3624. I don’t think Carney understands that.

  3625. To finance these great ideas. Free small business, let it thrive, and grow a real economy.

  3628. As long as Tesla supports increasing coal burning, human rights violations, tech theft, and unconventional warfare. I’m not a fan, of taxpayer support, for them. Rebates for the low mileage Jeep’s is suspect. Unless they are working hard, on much better models.

  3631. Thought bubble. Recycling, is after a thing is made, and put into the environment. Reduce reduce reduce, and recycle. Especially if it’s made in China.

  3632. If you want to be “green” walk to work naked, live under a bush, eat leaves, and volunteer for wetland restoration. Otherwise, stop saying “good for the environment” (a little reminder, to full of themselves, electric car owners)

  3633. Thank you, for mentioning China. Their fleet, and armed militia, is huge.

  3634. That’s what animals do. An injury means death.

  3635. They probably meant invasive, as to the increased volume. Not the literal use, of the word.
    1
  3636. In China it’s worse, with thought control. They have no idea, the west liberated them from the Japanese. Now, they feel entitled, to take over the world. 1936 Berlin 2022 Beijing

    1
  3639. I’ll be impressed, if the Trump gang, take the corporate lobby out of politics. If they cap party donations, and influence. So running for office, is open to the people. “Drain the swamp“

  3640. The precursors for fentanyl, and the financing for Mexican cartels, comes from China. Duhhh. China is at war with us, fix that.

  3641. Who is cheering for him? Don’t they have constituencies?

  3642. Teamwork with Canada and Mexico. =A superpower continent. Want to cut the deficit? Drain the corporate lobby swamp. Cut out the middleman insurance companies, etc.

  3643. Problem, I don’t trust keeping most of my money in the bank. Keep it in cash, or gold, they think you’re a crook.

  3644. Don’t let China gain influence. With their sophisticated surveillance systems. Russia could become, a large, Tibet, Xinjiang, or North Korea.
    1
  3645.  @transcendent7lucidity  They drive me crazy, with their insistence, and intolerance. The conservative snowflakes, are constantly denying others. It would be so nice, to hear from the vast middle again.

  3647. If the six is heavy, would a Volvo 5 cylinder fit? Or too tall.

  3648. I was wondering about that. We rented a smart car once. It was the gasoline kind, not the turbo diesel. So not the real experience. It was bad in the wind, and on washboard.
    1
  3649. You’re killing me. I love my old Volvo’s, I have 6 of them. Selling one, would be like cutting an arm off. But you make these sound better? How are they on the highway, for road trips, with a canoe on the roof, bikes on the back, camping gear?
    1
  3650. It’s time to clean house. Social media apps, newspapers, as long as it’s put out by the CCP, it’s influence peddling, or surveillance. Always remember it’s not the Chinese people, but their criminal organization government.

  3651. The only way it can be called an accident. Is if Xi and Putin, are kissing Trumps ass.

  3652. The refineries are built, for the kind of oil, that is landlocked in Canada.

  3653. Do a story of transponders, being shut off. With the Chinese fishing fleet.

  3654. So sad, what we have done to ourselves. These people can’t even comprehend nature. The real thing, away from all people.
    1
  3655. The real question is. Can we out produce China, in military hardware, and mind control. They are going full tilt, on all fronts.

  3656. @sheparddog117 it’s the demilitarized strip, between north and south, that has no people. And yes is healthy. How wide is that? Can’t be much.

  3662. It is time for Russia, China, N Korea, etc, to stop building this shit. So we don’t have to try to stay ahead, with our own military capabilities. Putting us all, at ever increasing risk.

  3663.  @exantiuse497  Even luckier, I didn't get into a relationship, with his mom.

  3664.  @just_cayte  I get that focusing on Shaun, would now be the priority. But for Joyce to be so traumatized. That she died in fear.

  3665. And they still didn’t get the fish trap.
    1
  3666. An old hungry cougar, may be a risk. But you really ought to spend the night, in the BC coastal mountains. By yourself, pitch black out, hours from cell service, or a road. You hear a bear sniffing around, outside your tent. Cold sweat.

  3675.  @Uphold-your-Rights  That's some serious level, insecurity.

  3676. We can vote in the west. But China burns billions of tons of coal. Without the pollution standards. How do we influence, a state controlled everything.

  3678. If it wasn't for the cost to keep them

  3679. She didn’t quite say it. The tariff threat, is a symptom of the new pandemic. Spreading from, the white house. The other thing, that gold people are not talking about. A destabilizing bankrupt Russia, has a lot of gold. Will that get sprung on the market. Or will China just take it?
    1
  3680. Dumb idea, China has all the gold, Russia a lot too. So, who would it help?
    1
  3681. Good points.
    1
  3682.  @Archangel0804  I have no problem, with responsible gun ownership. Like in Switzerland, where every home has one. But they are treated with respect. It’s when people say, guns and god together, in a literal way. That it gets delusional.
    1
  3683. This was a comedy sketch, right? “God given right, to have a gun” That was priceless, if it wasn’t so sad.

  3688.  @你不认识我-f3x  If China gives back, it’s occupied territories. I’d be happy to talk.

  3689. The CCP, is jealous, that Taiwan is a peaceful prosperous democracy. It has double the standard of living, than the mainland. It is liked and respected around the world. You bet the CCP, wants it gone. It demonstrates, what free Chinese people, are capable of.
    1
  3690. Covid Xi.
    1
  3691. One sovereign state, visiting another sovereign state, is not instigating. The CCP being insecure, is.
    1
  3692. Wait! Didn’t the Russians blow the gas pipeline? To avoid delivery contract penalties. Then blamed it on the west. Also conveniently, the largest undersea Fiber optic repair company is Chinese. Think about that.
    1
  3693. The west, has let China, become the metals supplier. While the last administration, put tariffs on Canadian production. An ally, right next door.
    1
  3694. Is it the dark ages today? For Tibetans and Uighur’s? We are still capable, of being nasty.

  3695. An excellent book, about that time and experience, Into The Silence,
    1
  3696. Tibet, for Tibetans!!!!
    1
  3697. Your nuclear weapon example gave me the chills. The CCP is like the jealous husband, who says. I’d rather take you with me, than lose you.
    1
  3698. Another example of thinking differently. Are the few remaining indigenous cultures, that don’t even have a word for time. They see themselves as guardians, of the natural world, in a continuum. Like Australian aborigines.

  3702. Funny to hear the Philippines. I loved it. My Chinese wife hated it. The best part was, happy playing children, in the small villages.
    1
  3703. We have been invited to Burundi, the poorest country. I'm excited, and nervous. Any advice, for traveling there?
    1
  3704. If we really want to make a difference, in regards to pollution, and human rights. Stop buying Chinese products. That’ll have the most dramatic impact. Last year they built two new coal fired plants every week. With 270 more permitted, for 2023-4.
    1
  3705. If the CCP isn’t ready. Don’t let their military planes, go into Taiwan’s territory. Ships too.

  3707. What’s preventing our favourite country from copying it, and cheaply flooding the market. Before the inventors perfect it.

  3708. Maybe it’s material science. Something like a titanium rod. Without the two bolt shoulders. A lighter piston. Strong, with less mass.

  3711. Wow, mature adult people. Who don’t know, about basic finance. Don’t let this happen to your kids.
    1
  3712. Remember, drain the swamp? That was a, bait and switch. To beat China, we need Mexico, as a skilled lower cost manufacturer. Canada too.
    1
  3713. As a pinched taxpayer. I hate subsidizing, someone else’s purchases. Especially, if any benefit goes to china’s military, and propaganda.
    1
  3714. Amongst many other things.
    1
  3715. Sending any money to China, supports pollution, human rights abuses, a surveillance state aimed at the world, and it’s massive military buildup.
    1
  3716. No comment, about the risk of doing business, with Alibaba being tied to the CCP?

  3717. You want the CCP running the show. Good luck with that.

  3718. A 2060 promise, is meaningless. When you are burning more, and more dirty coal now. Words are cheap.

  3719. My Chinese wife says. If you are poor in China. Good luck for you.

  3726. You snuck that one in there. The keyboard cowboys, didn't notice.
    1
  3727. Even just generationally, or culturally. The Chinese come here, and say so much nothing. All that nature is amazing, but useful. I’m busy saying, no no no, too many people. The song birds are now crows. Trees are dying, and burning, from longer summers, cooler winters. The salmon, are less, and farther away. What is normal now, is so different for each generation. In my lifetime, we have eaten up so much good land. But the general consensus is, Canada needs more people.

  3734. So, how the heck, do we turn around the Titanic? Of big business, and big government, watching us. Ask people from East Europe, how bad it will get. If we don't fix this. Also, don't forget, where these phones are made.

  3741. Junk food, is way more expensive. My wife is away for a month. I’m eating a variety of veggies, eggs, a little fruit, meat, and plain yogurt, butter, black coffee, green India tea. Twice a day, no snacks. Way way way cheaper, and I feel great. Fast, and processed food, garbage in, garbage out.

  3747. Get your shit together guys. All this arguing, who can insult the other side better. Even low enough to, shit on native Americans. Remember, the CCP, will take full advantage of the social divisions. Sit down, and talk to your neighbours. Especially if they, have a different view, than you.
    1
  3748. 867 5309 And, you would be fine, with invaders killing your food supply, the buffalo. So your people would starve. While they took the land. If it’s %30, it’s called desperation/self defence.

  3752. The lack of fat, in the wild diet. Was why the west coast oolichan fish harvest, was so important for trade.
    1
  3753. There is so much pressure, on western companies, to operate ethically. While the Chinese team up with dictators, and gangs. How do we square, this situation? Teamwork, and showing them, for what they are. The CCP is just a criminal organization.

  3758. They never said. Owning lots of stuff, Is the opposite, of being more environmental. Like owning a Tesla, is the opposite, of actually being good to nature. It’s still manufacturing, more stuff.

  3759. What was that western series, with robots?

  3760. Funny contrast, Singapore is way better. But it’s still a big city, displacing nature. Put it in a bubble, how long would it last?
    1
  3761.  @echidnatsukiremuru7217  Putting a filter on it, is like recycling. It’s after, the pollution was made. Making more pollution itself.
    1
  3762. It was reported in December. By the institute of energy Peking university.

  3763. Remember, before we buy a Chinese made EV. How they mine Cobalt, in the Congo. In the 11 months of 2022, China added 65 million kilowatts, of additional coal power.
    1
  3764. Dougie, i don't know what the answer is. We in the west, are also very good at displacing nature. By everything we do, and consume. It just looks better.
    1
  3765.  @sommervillem1069  So. All that garbage, and chemical waste, is going somewhere else?
    1
  3766. Singapore, and Japan may be cleaner. But they still use all the modern products, that displace nature. (Like the rest of us).

  3767. How can it be NA? It has to have some kind of blower. Ring lubrication, piston cooling, with ports open?

  3768. Another problem with coasting, is if you have trouble judging, road speed, engine speed, and the correct gear. My wife coasts down hill, rides the brakes, then regardless of speed, bangs it into first gear. Sadly, I had to buy her a automatic.

  3769. 60k life span working hard. On the road, you can hardly use its power. Maybe it would last longer, if actually driven. Funniest thing, exotics in traffic.

  3770. 2 top reasons. The wife and kids. The kids, are learners, and my wife jams it into first at 40kph, (25mph). She also, leaves it in neutral down hill. Then finds a gear, to jam it into. I have two rare, 97 Volvo 850awd wagons, manual 2.3, same colour. PS; very nice to see. That the comments, didn't instantly turn into partisan intolerance, for democracy.
    1
  3771. An old Volvo R, has numbers like these??
    1
  3772. Even better, we rely upon China, for most of our products. They are still building more coal fired power plants. To make this stuff. The profit goes into expanding the military, and world wide surveillance/ propaganda capabilities. Yay!!
    1
  3773. Abandoning all moral high ground. Leaves the door wide open for China, with its colonialism, and military buildup.
    1
  3774. Deflection. Is this why, there is a chorus of diaper Joe?
    1
  3775. While we buy, Chinese made products. They started two new coal fired power plants, each week last year. With 270 permitted for 2023-4. Not buying their products, makes the biggest difference environmentally, and with human rights.
    1
  3776. The world will do something about the Chinese fishing fleet. After, the worlds fish stocks collapse.

  3777. No mention, of the Canadian troops, mmm?

  3781. Look up, Chinese fishing fleet.

  3782. Why not? Go forth and multiply.
    1
  3783. The book says, go forth and multiply. That was a good idea. Maybe not.
    1
  3784. Astonishing? It's what we do. Like any other animal, that no longer has predators, keeping the numbers in balance. A few of us, and nature is healthy. Billions, everything is at risk. Ask the fishermen, what country is taking all the fish? The one, with the most people.
    1
  3785. The people, made it into a desert. Plenty of fish in the sea? Look up, Chinese fishing fleet.

  3786. The world's population has doubled, in the last 30 years. All good, right? Gandhi said that, neat little catchphrase, a long time ago.

  3787. Chinese cars should be penalized heavily. They are made with terrible labour and environmental laws, coal powered electricity. While their government, aggressively builds out it’s military. Aimed at the rest of us.
    1
  3788. China has promised to stop increasing its coal burning, by 2030. Till then, it’s two new coal plants a week. Think of that, if you buy one of their EV’s.

  3789. Denying people their sexuality, creates perversion. The institutional structure, attracts pedophiles, narcissists, and good people too. Make it less about, power over others.

  3790. We can oppress, the people’s, in our occupied territories, and hold the Olympic Games. How nice.
    1
  3791. Ask a Tibetan, Mongolian, or Uighur, how it's going. How many countries is China having a border dispute with. Damming, and cutting off the rivers to south east Asia. Claiming the south chine sea. Rewriting maps. Debt diplomacy, to get control of countries,, that either have strategic port locations, or resources. Infultrating western media, to control the narrative. Nothing to see here, all is well. Until it is too late.

  3805. Same as, the anti corruption drive’s. If you’re on the team, anything goes. Then someone decides, your not. It’s a fantastic system, to guarantee compliance. As long as the party members, have a me first attitude. Our democracies, are certainly flawed. If it promotes division, over teamwork. Voting in, the ever spending more party. But, most people go into office, trying to help their society. And we can kick them out, every so often. We really need to push back, against all the anti western propaganda. Or we collectively fail. Disney, etc. Fawning, CCP favour.

  3823.  @j-bichannel5841  ? I’m with you? The mainlanders, have come over, and created their own insular communities. While still getting their news, from the Chinese ministry of truth. I work in rental property. They are all owned, by recent local Chinese. They care only of profit, not social good. My question was. How do we include these groups, into our society. So they are not our future downfall.

  3833. I’m 61, and married to a Chinese lady, 14years from Beijing. It floors me, how she insists, that Chinese revere their family and elders, not like westerners.

  3848.  @leoniegureghian4015  Hi Leonie, thanks I'm trying to be. While we can still communicate, on any forum. It is important, to speak against, the huge propaganda machine, surveillance, and profiling, etc. Before it is too late, it may already be.  Two things, it's just wrong, to not push back. But more so, our next generation will have a tough enough time, with the demographic bubble, and environmental degradation. They certainly don't deserve to be, lower class citizens in their own countries, or in work camps.

  3857.  @ThuanGiaPhan  Taiwan is at 94, Hong Kong is 42, China is at 9/100. I can’t find what HK was ten years or more ago. For comparison, from well before the takeover transition, losing their rights.

  3858. Taiwan is higher than New Zealand, on the freedom index. I wonder how Hong Kong is doing?

  3859. How is Peng Shuai doing?? How quickly we forget, and move on, to the next story. The CCP is doing so many nasty things. That we can’t stay focused, on any of them. Prevent Ukraine 2.0, support Taiwan.

  3865. Don’t worry, Chinas increasing coal burning, will make up for any improvements.
    1
  3866. Why we need to stop buying Chinese products. It’s not just about human rights. It’s also, about huge pollution. (For example, massively increased coal burning).

  3882. This model is missing, the most important, and complex part. How do we go back to a clean environment, with biodiversity. While consuming so much? They are going in opposite directions. One is life, the other is, a more comfortable life for now. One example, wood burning in a local area. Is inefficient, energy in energy out, (economically) wise. But ecologically, can be sustained for a long time, it’s almost pollution and carbon neutral. Depending on the inputs. When X is brought out of a mine or well, and made into a product. It is a negative input, to nature. (Our long term health, and well being). Take a good look at the massive scale of pollution, coming out of China right now.

  3925.  @hankhill6707  Of course this is all about deflection. Tibet was invaded in modern times. The kids do not, learn their culture, it is forbidden. How do you deflect, the live organ donor program? How do you deflect, the maritime militia, cleaning out the seas? The military build up, and constant harassment of Taiwan.

  3926.  @hankhill6707  My mom, was a leader, in helping the Hawaiian people find their roots. To teach their culture, music, and language, in their own schools. Native bands, are self governing, and regaining their cultures. In Tibet, kids are taken away from their families, to only learn Mandarin ways. With their temples torn down. The rivers dammed. Their spiritual leader, in exile. It's not comparable.

  3965. It's hard to be articulate, on the spot, with a camera in your face. I think what he failed to say. is, the average person is good, regardless of faith. But when it is used for control, and power over others. Like with some, middle eastern countries, or in other places. Christian, or Muslim. We do have a problem.

  3968. If you want meaning, in your life. Fight for those who are unjustly suffering, a genocide of their culture and people. China is testing nuclear weapons, using the Uighur people. The ones that are not organ harvested. LADbible TV, interviews remarkable people. This is one brave man, he should be front page news. Look up. How I exposed the Chinese government’s crimes. YouTube. Spread awareness, of this and the other crimes, against humanity, and nature.

  3969. Rather than a set figure. It’s the always moving goalposts. My dad always said, “I’ll be happy when”. As the goal was attained, a new one would appear. He eventually killed himself. My ex wife, of 25 years. Used the same phrase, after we travelled around the country. For her to get, multiple degrees. When I asserted, that another degree, was not the answer to satisfaction. My assistance, was no longer needed. As I wasn’t being helpful. I sold my soul, for the possibility, of her love. A proxy, for my father. It’s never too late. To appreciate yourself, and have true friends.

  3973. As we go through a world wide debt unwind. It’s going to get ugly. He has one trait that is essential. A willingness to work with allies, rather than alienating them. China is doing everything it can, to f us up.

  3976. To sum up the CCP. 70 years of humility.
    1
  3977. Yes, but in a different way.
    1
  3978. Just don’t leave a power and influence vacuum. That China can push its way into. Taiwan, and south east Asia, is very important.
    1
  3979. Reminds me of how the CCP uses elite capture. You vote them in once, it’s game over.
    1
  3980. China will come to the rescue, and then never leave.
    1
  3981. Water? China occupies Tibet, and future water flows. Is that a major factor, for India?
    1
  3982. That argument has a fly in it. The fentanyl shipments, are state sanctioned. So chances are, it’s party members getting wealthy off it, like everything else.
    1
  3983. Don’t forget, the social and environmental costs, of building panels in China.
    1
  3984. It is hard to see Trump clearly. People see him as the messiah, or the Antichrist.
    1
  3985. Sounds like BC. A half hour walk in the mountains, north of Vancouver. No cell service, and no roads for a hundred Km. A jumble of peaks and valleys.
    1
  3986. Aren’t we likely heading into a stock market collapse-depression? Which throws out the incumbent, regardless of guilt. The system really needs fresh candidates. Why not study how all the other countries organize their systems, and fix it.
    1
  3987. It’s been China, since Xi got in. Maybe all along.
    1
  3988. Wasn’t this also about, revealing the infiltration of the CCP?
    1
  3989. Thats like banning one boat, from the Chinese fishing fleet. Big damage, no recourse.
    1
  3990. Good thing, the main cable repair company is Chinese.
    1
  3991. Remember record public turnout? Hong Kong protests, till the W-flu conveniently appeared.
    1
  3992. “Back under the influence”!!! Stop, using the word reunification. That’s part of China’s warfare package. We all say it, we all start to think it’s true. No, Taiwan is not theirs anyway.
    1
  3993. Tied into the greatest threat. Is Chinas desire, to break up all democracies. It’s not just about, killing all of us, with their pollution.
    1
  3994. Meanwhile, China has influenced our institutions, algorithms, and media. To feed discord, and misinformation. Ask chat GTP about cultural and physical genocide, occupied territories in China, massive coal power increases, organ harvesting, etc.
    1
  3995. Wow, the Chinese learned it all from the soviets.
    1
  3996. Better late, than not at all. If China wants to be the world’s friend again. They have Taiwan, right next door. As an example, of how to be awesome.
    1
  3997. 500 mile cost limit? We sell power, from northern BC, to California, during peak load times. 22098 canyon dr, to LA, 1930 miles, (by road). So, 1800 miles?
    1
  3998. So tragic, and unnecessary. Protect, and recognize, Taiwan.
    1
  3999. How incredibly stupid, humans can be. Save Taiwan.
    1
  4000.  @Blackjack701AD  I thought, Trump gave the elites, tax benefits. To try to be popular, with the in crowd. He is always the kid, that nobody likes. “Look at me, I’m the best, I have my daddy’s money”
    1
  4001. No mention of the economy? As it’s teetering on the edge, of the inevitable cliff. Good or bad, the incumbent gets tossed out, in a depression.
    1
  4002. TikTok is only one from China. It’s the whole group. Like Temu and Wechat, as well.
    1
  4003. Are you saying? Traditional Chinese territory, that they don’t want!!
    1
  4004.  @taobo33  Why it's important, is the CCP want's to control the world. Look at their occupied territories now, like Tibet and Xinjiang, with forced assimilation.  This is not a criticism of the Chinese people, they are victims too.
    1
  4005.  @taobo33  Of course not literally. But it was my Chinese wife's observation. Going back to visit her mom, and old friends, after us together, being in Taiwan.
    1
  4006.  @godschild6694  I thought HK was trapped. The Brit’s were forced to turn it over. HK gets its water and electricity from the mainland. It can be easily cut off.
    1
  4007. Of course Mao 2.0, is horrible for the people. I’m worried they will bring a lot of others with them, when they go down. Xi promised to build 3000 nukes, and is paranoid.
    1
  4008. Hey I know! How about a pipeline from Canada!!
    1
  4009. The Chinese are very brainwashed. As frustrated as they will get. They still feel entitled to their occupied territories, and all of their neighbours territories. When the people start to focus on their oligarchs. The CCP will switch to kinetic war. To consolidate the people’s attention elsewhere.
    1
  4010. Canada has lots of heavy. Right next door. It needs a pipeline.
    1
  4011. The best thing to do. Is show unified support for Taiwan. China will back down, in the face of resolve. The infiltration, of all our institutions, is another matter.
    1
  4012. Do all these, require satellites? Problem. China is weaponizing space.
    1
  4013.  @l.b.7543 Don’t know about his view of Clinton. But he found Obama ineffective.
    1
  4014.  @Jacmac1  The Democrats had more registered voters this time, but less votes? It must have been fair this time, because Trump won.
    1
  4015. Ok, it is an operating mine. The deal didn’t go through, on security concerns. But in 2013 China did buy Nexen, a large oil sands producer. With assets in Nigeria Guyana and the Gulf of Mexico. It sold, because the USA didn’t allow a pipeline.
    1
  4016. There was a gold discovery on Canada’s north coast. That the Chinese wanted to buy. To get an excuse, for arctic waters access. They have been buying or commandeering, resources and strategic locations.
    1
  4017.  @lenguindon5019  His dime? That's a boat load of money. If he gets the momentum going, that's great. Hopefully ND is a fast mover, we need it yesterday. Bringing in heavy crude from Venezuela, is stupid.
    1
  4018. Aid for Taiwan is very serious. China is at war with us.
    1
  4019. Meanwhile, China is building out its military, very aggressively. If we can’t get our act together, real fast, we’re done.
    1
  4020. So again, Biden is the quiet deal maker.
    1
  4021. The Tibetan’s found out. What happens if you are peaceful. Living next to communists.
    1
  4022. There is hope, for the Solomon Islands?
    1
  4023. Around the world, we love to build residential and commercial. On our most fertile, self regenerating, agricultural land.
    1
  4024. Some will say, it’s all Biden’s fault. Being president, in a destabilizing time.
    1
  4025. Anything that cuts Chinese brown coal burning. Like not buying their stuff. Gives a little breathing room.
    1
  4026. So how are their bankers and suppliers, the CCP, going to play this?
    1
  4027.  @KalFulsom  What good government is all about. Protecting freedoms, with mechanisms in place, to hold governments and courts accountable.
    1
  4028. There are personal responsibilities, associated with free speech, owning a car, a gun, etc.
    1
  4029.  @felipelotfineri2300  Go to China, and constructively criticize the government. See what happens. We do need to be vigilant, to maintain all of our freedoms, in the west.
    1
  4030. We need to do something. X is wide open to Chinese and Russia propaganda. Freedom of speech yes, but anything goes, gets taken advantage of. By those who would remove the right completely.
    1
  4031. Hasn’t New Zealand become a vassal state of the communist party! Nullifying any freedom benefits.
    1
  4032.  @worndown8280  Heck, I thought it was, change the numbers till it works for you. Like, China is saving the planet, one coal plant at a time. (a little over two a week at home), and many more in other countries. It doesn't matter how quiet their subs are. When they eat or talk, it'll be like a hammer mill.
    1
  4033.  @neolithictransitrevolution427  You may be right. My reason for speaking out. Is that while the CCP promotes China as being green. They are polluting more than all the western countries combined. While also building Coal plants, in their subjugated belt and road affiliates. Same with human rights abuses, being covered up. The narrative control, has to be countered. It's not always, them good, us bad.
    1
  4034. Always remember, if the overall intent is to reduce harm, to us and the world. None of these metals, should be processed in China.
    1
  4035. On a site like that. I hope they are.
    1
  4036. And the masses of Chinese bots. So annoying. Taiwan is a wonderful country, and needs to be saved.
    1
  4037. Can the Tibetan’s and Uighur’s, hold out that long?
    1
  4038.  @tonywilson4713  I agree with your assessment. One major point that’s missing, is. China is at war with most of the world. Their influence is in our institutions, algorithms, and media. They sow discord, and misinformation.
    1
  4039. Don’t worry, you pollution fans. China is still ramping up its coal burning.
    1
  4040. A collapse of Russia is quite dangerous. With China baiting, warring internal factions. A ramped up version, of what they are doing worldwide.
    1
  4041. And there’s no pipeline for the Canadian stuff
    1
  4042. It doesn’t fix the Chinese aggression. But it’s certainly entertaining.
    1
  4043. Also thanks to Elon. The Chinese bots, and shills, have free run.
    1
  4044. It’s not just subsidies, in China they don’t have to follow labour laws, or pollution regulations. When we support their industry, we support, very bad practices, and their military buildup.
    1
  4045.  @foleylione  The best way, was to invest in productive capacity. Let dead companies fail. To not have corporate lobby groups, steer the budgets, into their pockets. Not subsidizing Chinese shipping rates, respecting human rights over there. It is never too late, to start to turn things around. But as you know, the longer you leave it, the harder it is. Every time the economy is headed for a cleansing, it is diverted with helicopter money, and lower interest rates. Till it no longer works. Making the eventual meltdown bigger.
    1
  4046.  @bloodgout  Same thing, on a large scale. If your tax base, (income), can not and will not service your debt, and obligations. You are not a good risk, for my money. So I will no longer lend to you. Unless the interest rate compensates for the risk, of default, or currency debasement. (servicing the debt means, principal and interest).
    1
  4047. Smarten up people. Don’t let China fool us too. They are more sophisticated with their propaganda, and disruption of our democracy. Taiwan free forever.
    1
  4048. Can the affected countries, push China out of the lower South China Sea? Doesn’t Russia, have what China needs? Except for young people.
    1
  4049. If you want a reliable reaction. Just say that, Taiwan is an awesome country.
    1
  4050. My concern for Tesla. Is having a large factory in China. It’s a trap. For seriously toxic pollution. Check out, the rare earth processing in China.

  4051. Forehead slap. He says both candidates suck. DT did something right. Yet the comments are all, “he is a Democratic Party shill”
    1
  4052.  @ulyssis  Building villages and military posts, on and across the land borders. In the South China Sea. The rest of Asia, Africa, South America. No where in particular.
    1
  4053.  @karntang  We don't do that any more, it's not cool.
    1
  4054. Remember, drain the swamp? He isn’t doing anything, to reduce the corporate lobby. Ohhh, it was, bait and switch.
    1
  4055.  @TheDaeroner  With a disclaimer, CCP not CPC. Using CPC white washes previous sins, of the party. China and Taiwan, are both very different. They are separate countries, and peoples. For China to be free, they have to let Xinjiang and Tibet be free. Let the people decide, to create their own political parties.
    1
  4056. They don’t work better, for being a little emperor, and stealing the wealth of the people.
    1
  4057. Before anyone gets on their moral hobbyhorse, for the Palestinians. Two things. Their leaders don’t want to coexist with Israel. We conveniently ignore, Tibet, Xinjiang, Syria, Myanmar, Solomon Islands, etc.
    1
  4058. Imagine, you’re a big corporation. Working in countries with a lot of dictators. Your competition is China!!! Good luck, with playing nice and fair to the people.
    1
  4059. PZ, didn’t you say earlier. That S Korea monitors the air coming from China. That it still has a lot of CFC’s in it?
    1
  4060. The tanker that Iran seized, has oil that was going to China. Does Iran know what it’s doing?
    1
  4061. Can we get to. Don’t need more “stuff”? The top two pro environmental choices are, less stuff, and not made in coal burning china.
    1
  4062. Will Tibet and East Turkestan, ever be free again?
    1
  4063. The big joke on Russia, is. No one wants to invade them. But their friend, China. Ask Tibet, if baren land saved them.
    1
  4064. Coal is definitely not dead. Ask China. They have lots of it, and it’s cheap. Every time we buy something from there. We pollute, we build their military, we endorse human rights atrocities. Win win win.
    1
  4065. Are any, possibly unfairly imprisoned, from other ally countries, getting out? Any westerner in Iran is a target, with those guys in charge.
    1
  4066. Russia, the next Tibet, East Turkmenistan, Inner Mongolia, south China sea, Solomon Islands, etc. While they are blowing themselves up, about NATO. China loves territory, resources, and a power vacuum.
    1
  4067. Meanwhile, the political isolation, and paranoia in the CCP, is even more dangerous. They have promised to build 3000 more nukes. https://youtu.be/eEoLJruphFQ
    1
  4068. We need a strong Germany. To deter, aggressive Chinese leaders. Xi will back down, when faced with unity and force.
    1
  4069. No mention of the commercial real estate bomb, with a lit fuse?
    1
  4070. Canada, we have lots of oil and gas too.
    1
  4071. No mention of Chinese colonialism? Doesn’t Russia have everything they need?
    1
  4072. It will be like Tibet, and East Turkestan.
    1
  4073. A tragic ending, for the Russian people. China will just walk in, and take what it wants.
    1
  4074.  @maxryan5738 Be pissed off at the ruling class. But why follow a guy, who wants to be accepted by the elites. His version of draining the swamp, was tax cuts for the biggest corporations. The same corporations, that are bleeding the middle classes.
    1
  4075. If they can get past local, and Chinese promoted, corruption. This is a plan for Africa too.
    1
  4076. If we get serious about, the CCP financing, backing, and supplying, the cartels? In part of its unrestricted warfare, against the west.
    1
  4077. Yes Putin’s mental health, is a problem. China is the real threat. Xi sees an enemy at every border. Because he has pushed them outward. He is paranoid at home, from the purges and atrocities. Now with a failing economy, he is scared of the people. So needs an enemy, a war. Lucky for him, they can and are, aggressively building out their military.
    1
  4078. This shit is so awful. Protect Taiwan.
    1
  4079. Why did China, invade Tibet? Water?

  4080. How about a pipe going to Canada?

  4081. Is Egyptian, the oldest existing civilization? How is the continuity measured?

  4083. The short bus, gang. I’m thinking, a Gary Larson cartoon.
    1
  4084. China is rubbing its claws. All that Russian territory, and resources. We may have to switch, to protecting Russia, from its best “friend”.
    1
  4085.  @charleswomack2166 We don’t want China helping. They don’t want china invading. A win win, perhaps?
    1
  4086. A defanged Russia, will be vulnerable to China. We will have to protect them.
    1
  4087.  @doujinflip If Japan isn’t leading, in sex dolls. We know there is a problem.
    1
  4088. Not as a deflection. But, India? How’s their military, corruption wise?
    1
  4089. China has cut the cables, off Lithuania and Taiwan. Just to be A-holes.
    1
  4090.  @SverreMunthe  I’ll take oil and gas any day. Over China building hundreds of new coal plants.

  4091. Now think about the Uighur’s Tibetans Inner Mongolians Falun Gong Taiwan. While we finance it.

  4092. Re listen to what he said. It’s not worth following X every day. But he is still open to checking occasionally, to see if it’s still a mess or not. (Keeping an open mind)

  4093. Elon is like ChatGPT, flooded with Chinese propaganda.
    1
  4094.  @Aj.dadnerd  Another atoll, that hasn't been seized by China? Or the one that has an old WW2 ship on it, with a couple of Philippine sailors staying there. The Chinese, like to block the supply ship. Just to maintain their a-hole status.
    1
  4095. Stand-off? How’s that?? China is occupying territory. No one stopped them. It’s a serious problem, of expansion, but not a standoff.
    1
  4096. Government institutions like healthcare, run by corporations. Is bankrupting the country. But stability, is more important. Can this be squared.
    1
  4097. They can’t have immigration, because they are super racist. Just look at how they treat the people, in their occupied territories.
    1
  4098.  @u2beuser714  In their own countries, they should be the majorities.
    1
  4099. Why they burn so much frickin coal. Poisoning all of us.

  4100. How do they connect Trump, with God? Other than, he thinks he is.
    1
  4101. Black Label ! Is South African Black Label, anything like Canadian Black Label?
    1
  4102. They cornered the rare earth market. By not containing the pollution created, in the processing. Now we are reliant on China, for these critical metals. Same with so many other things, like medical supplies and drugs.
    1
  4103. Stay awesome. Stay awesome forever, Taiwan.
    1
  4104. Give that man a forum, to speak out. We need to hear it from, someone who knows, and was there.
    1
  4105.  @davidgretzschelcommunicati1630  Most of the world’s, steel and metals production is in China. They still control, the market for rare earth magnets. You can’t fight a war without those things. We need to bring it all home. But even if we were focused on that task, it would take years.
    1
  4106. China be awesome, like Taiwan.

  4107. When it gets really bad. They will start a war. Defend Taiwan, now. To prevent, another Ukraine tragedy.

  4110. Stay awesome, Taiwan.
    1
  4111. The foundation of their politics and culture is. Everyone shares equally, in the prosperity, and rights. Ohh!! I’ve started asking Chinese people, including my wife. Why are the migrant workers, the rural poor majority, so invisible?
    1
  4112. Same with Canada. We have all the freedoms, and healthcare.
    1
  4113. Hey!! Whites are from everywhere too. Only natives, are “Native North American “. Gentle reminder, aside. Whining? Having had more than a generation of prosperity. Many of us, have forgotten, how to work for everything we have, or want. Don’t appreciate the social safety nets. I work in apartment buildings. Last week a young lady claimed to have PTSD, because she saw a mouse, in her place. My “favourite “ are the young white guys. Who feel entitled to sit and play video games, and never grow up.
    1
  4114. Stay awesome, like Taiwan.
    1
  4115. See how well, that works. He can't pack up, and move his factories. His empire, or vision, is so big. That little discretions, are justified. Problem is, they get bigger. To the point of, enabling forced labour, cultural genocide, etc. Giving tech to those, who want to destroy us.
    1
  4116.  @SuccessforLifester  It is different. When my Chinese born wife makes a mistake. I say, oops! When she doesn’t like something I did. I get the small child running into the street treatment. It’s soul crushing.

  4117. Dubai?

  4119. Please, keep putting the word out. It’s our collective survival.
    1
  4120. It seems the only way to turn this around. Is if the Chinese diaspora, feel safe of the CCP’s threats. How do we make this happen?
    1
  4121. She looks like, one of these people. Who have complete control, of their surroundings. All to cover, their own insecurity. The people around them, are only tools, to create the fantasy. It is not a nice, or healthy place to be. Reminds me, of a ruling party, somewhere??
    1
  4122. In a strange way, there is an upside, of the persecution of the Falung Gong. They have been forced, to reveal the truths about the CCP. Risking their lives, they get a lot of the information out. To hopefully end the madness, and to warn the rest of us.
    1
  4123.  loksoon4043  Can you tell the difference between. Did bad things, like invade Tibet, Xinjiang. VS. Doing bad things, right now?
    1
  4124.  @Michael9-23-15  Unless it is how to do more if it. Without blowback.

  4125. Stay awesome forever.Taiwan. Show the Chinese, the real China, give them hope.

  4126. Easy, sign over all the resources and assets. The Chinese will build, all the coal plants you need.

  4127.  @TynanCreations  He doesn't need to. People are free to talk about things here, already.

  4128.  @mattgairns7565  Sorry i wasn't clear. It was in reference to repairs, and maintenance.
    1
  4129. Nice that it was a genuine heart, gift. Not tied to, selling religion.
    1
  4130. So, how do you get the word out? The CCP is doing a lot of bad things, while controlling the narrative. By the time we collectively wake up, it will be too late. Lobby your politicians, and big retailers.
    1
  4131. Winston, have you been on Joe Rogan’s show??
    1
  4132.  StrategicFooyoo  Hi, my point was, we know better now. Western economies modernized, when we knew less about, destroying rivers, the air, and other cultures. China is doing this in modern times. There is no excuse for destroying the planet, for a few bucks. 500 more coal burning plants are up for development, in China. Is it truly a modern country, if they can do organ harvesting, on groups they don’t like? Fish everyone else’s seas, because you polluted yours? And you go to jail, if you discuss these things? A legal system with no due process.
    1
  4133. So, how does the message of free debate, and inquiry gain traction? My wife and stepson moved from China 14 years ago. They can only sing the praises, of the wonderful CCP. Anything can be overlooked, because of the,“universal“ prosperity. My assertion is, if the CCP was so great. They had a chance to industrialize, in a greener, cleaner, more fair manner. That avoids most of the mistakes of other countries. They did the opposite.
    1
  4134. Moondog Yes so true, we all are.

  4135. Sadly, the city folk in Canada, are getting that way. In the country, in winter, it can be someone’s life. When I stop to help a Chinese person. I tell them, I was born here, and this is what we do. Pass it on, be a good neighbour.

  4139. One of many reasons, to not buy their products.
    1
  4140. If as a culture, it’s ok to abuse your own. It’s definitely ok, to do worse, to others. As evidenced, by the treatment of the people, in the occupied territories, or the religious. Stop buying Chinese products, and say why.
    1
  4141. Good enough for the average person. Is access to all the titles, to learn.

  4142. Stay awesome, like Taiwan. The keeper, of Chinese heritage.
    1
  4143. We all know, that the CCP controls the narrative. What about, some of the mythology? Like how, family means more than in other cultures. Famine, Mao’s reign, new wealth, a narcissistic government, all create, a fair amount of dysfunction in families. I keep hearing how Chinese families are so close and supportive. What I hear, contradicts this notion. My wife, and stepson, are from Beijing. Her stories, and her, from the mainland, Chinese acquaintances. Have horrendous tales, of jealousy, abuse, and neglect. I don’t know if it’s worse, than from other places. But it sure isn’t better. Thank you Winston, for your reporting, of your experience. It will take many voices, to silence, the ministry of truth.
    1
  4144.  @theoneandonlypinkypinky8245  You are right, it isn’t fair, for the regular Chinese people. How else, can we make life difficult, for the criminals running the country? If we send money to China, some of it goes to a military, that is threatening, the whole world. Sending our money says, occupying Tibet is ok. Etc.

  4145. That is the only advantage, of their king of governance. In Canada, it takes years of consultation, and legal battles, to build a small piece of transit line. It is frustrating, doing it the right way.

  4146.  @WalterPeagin  Frequently? It would be reported in the news, and the public would make lots of noise about it. You should visit Taiwan, the people are great. They didn't experience the generational trauma, of having their culture torn down, by the four olds, and the subsequent party control.

  4148. Lin, Lets say it's your opinion, vs my opinion, and of no value. First remember, my comments are not against the Chinese people, but about the government. For a valid answer to this discussion. How about you and I. Go to the source, and ask an ethnic Tibetan, Uighur, Mongolian, or even a citizen of Hong Kong. How they feel, about the CCP. Or even, people from the countries, that China is having border disputes with right now. What they have to say. Will it be similar, to what is reported in the Chinese media? If you haven't done this, please don't respond.

  4151.  @linlima5975  How do you get facts. When the Chinese government, only tells good news about itself, and bad news about others. That makes them illegitimate. (I have been to China, and have Chinese family).

  4152.  @chanfranc  Try to not buy Chinese products. Be aware they are conducting unconventional warfare. How it manifests, in our media. Spread the word, of their atrocities. Lobby your politicians, business leaders, etc. have faith, in a peaceful future. Make the most, of your life. If we all do a little bit, there’s a chance.

  4159. This is something, I am frustrated about. With my Chinese family, and many who have recently decided to emigrate. Respect is expected, but not easily given. The chat is funny. There are many here arguing, the degree of how nasty Mao was. Are there degrees, of worst person ever?

  4160.  @seekthetruth1478  Hello Seek, problem here, is we are talking to each other. The CCP threat is far to real, to be ignored by the rest of society. But since they have been planting people in think tanks, media, schools, and government. What really is happening, is silenced. People look at us, as if we are crazy. When we say, this is an urgent problem. Keep it up man, not many are. When a government hides behind censorship, it is illegitimate. The CCP has offered to purchase a gold mine in the Canadian high arctic. If it goes through. They will be getting a strategic asset. And ship access, to the north. Lobby your politician.

  4163. I get a kick out of people saying, revolution is coming. Not anytime soon. The average Chinese citizen, keeps their head down, as a survival tactic. They are also afraid of the chaos of a break up. We need to spread the word in the west, to avoid joining the non Han fate. I’m not keen on mandatory summer camp.

  4180. My childhood neighbourhood in Vancouver, is almost all Chinese. My sons first day of school, at the same school I attended years ago, Maple Grove. He was the only, non Chinese kid in his class. I mix is great, but that was too much. We sent him, to a different school. I always think, imagine if this happened in China. With a billion more, where they came from. It wouldn’t be tolerated, for a minute.

  4186. This, never giving credit, to outsiders, for anything. Do any Chinese people know, that the western allies liberated them from the Japanese. Without then keeping, what was liberated. Actually allowing the Chinese people, a chance of their own freedom.

  4187.  @yynolan3021  I have never heard of anyone, who has a problem with a prosperous china, that’s great. Have you seen a “Chinese” map of the South China Sea lately? Can you say, expansionist bullying? One of many examples, of very bad behaviour. Why would you appoligize for it? And speaking of the persistent victim narrative. It should be directed, at Mao and friends. Not the country, and allies, that liberated china, in the Second World War. And now, have to protect Taiwan. From whom??
    1
  4188.  @yynolan3021  Please, take the time to listen, to what Serpentza has been saying all along. He loves the Chinese people, and is speaking up for them, where they can’t.
    1
  4189.  @yynolan3021  If there was a free exchange, of information, both ways. Not just one way. You would have reason to be suspicious. But as it stands now, the CCP is by definition illegitimate. If they feel the need to manipulate as much as they can.

    1
  4210.  @Cre9000  My point is. All these dictatorships, are getting Chinese surveillance gear. They isolate, and control any messaging, between people. It becomes self policing, to survive. It's worse than East Germany, where anyone could be a snitch. This is why we don't want mass surveillance, and Chinese tech, in our western countries.

  4225. Ask a Chinese person, including my wife. If they are grateful for the allied liberation of China, from Japan. You will get a blank stare, then a lot more. A side note. A lot of people criticize US imperialism. After allied liberation of many places. The west, particularly the US, did not keep those places. Would China, or Russia, have been so charitable. The US, the commonwealth countries, and other allies, let Japan, and Germany, go on to prosper, and be their own countries. If China, with the CCP, becomes a world dominating power. We will long for, more civilized times.

  4227. Mariachee Bandidos If your country is a world power, and you have democracy. A basic knowledge, is essential. All people should understand others, as much as possible. To prevent current, and future governments, like the CCP. From “justifiably” taking other lands and people.

  4228. Some in the comments, claim we were beholden to the brits. Of course some were. But if you look at the composition of most of the Canadian, and US population, at the time. No wonder, the threat felt personal. And, it was just the right thing to do.

One day, it may be China, ruling over some of our fates. Like Tibet, Mongolia, the Uighur’s. Not as generous a precedent.

  4250. As a hard working, self employed person. One thing I see as discouraging. Is that a lot of big business, has hijacked free enterprise. With fat, corporate borrowing, to buy back stock options, rather than building industry. How healthcare is run for insurance companies, and lawyers, instead of the people. If it was socialized, or free enterprise, it should cost half as much.
    1
  4251. Another thing I can’t say enough of. Have any Chinese people, thanked the west, (mostly USA). For liberating them, in the 2nd WW. And then, NOT occupying them in turn. I am grateful to not have to be American, or hopefully Han. The Japanese too, are free to be Japanese, and show little gratitude, for their freedom. When either of these countries “liberate” another land, they keep it.

  4252. As paranoid, and self serving, the CCP is. The Chinese people I know, credit the government for their personal success. While afraid of the potential chaos, of one heavy hand, becoming many.

  4255. Guys, look up containment. A man who takes responsibility for things. But only in a loving way, that would never harm, or putdown his wife and kids. In most cases, will have a partner, that feels secure. Myself and my best buddy, are relaxed easy going. Would be happy, wandering the world, with a pack on our backs. Kind of guys. Both of our wives, are uptight wound up control freaks. That push people away, including us. Because everything is a threat, nothing is safe. I’ve had to learn to take charge, and to speak up for what I want. Guess what, my wife is more relaxed, and happy to be with me. Going home is a good thing now.

  4256. As a retiree, where is it safe, to keep stocks, and money. If anywhere?

  4257. No woman would… My wife is always trying to get me to be with a younger desirable woman. Because she herself, has rejected her own sexuality. She is very uncomfortable when I look at her, as the most beautiful woman in the world. Trauma reveals itself, in many ways.

The twist is, they lived through Mao tearing down the culture, the induced famines, etc. (the four olds). Then with the subsequent government controlling, thought,speech, free expression, religion. The only “safe place” is with family. But anything can happen there. I’m so glad to hear this young lady is working with children. May she find peace in her heart, joy, good boundaries, and accept safe relationships.

  4294. We struggle with discipline. Our minds and bodies are full of junk food. If we let it. You and I, are better than that. Go far a walk, anywhere, but better in a green place.

  4295. 5 minutes a day, Is a time measure? Doing your preferred activity. Try something new!!

  4296. True analysis. But remember, the WSJ has a lot of pro CCP, America bad content. Always read, with both eyes open. 🦨💩🍯

  4298. Check those red commie hats, are they made in China?

  4300. Good thing, invading Canada, didn’t go as well.
    1
  4301. Too funny, if we truly had regard for life. We wouldn’t be living the modern way, of burning the planet.
    1
  4302. To me it’s simple. Trump admires the power of dictators. Also, if they flatter him, they can get what they want.
    1
  4303. As we fracture our alliances. China keeps pushing.
    1
  4304. If I can use you, I love you!! Ouch.

  4308. Did any Ukrainian children go home?

  4309. Shutting down world trade, with allies. Is going to break everything.

  4310. It’s nice to see a smart young person, thinking critically. Old ones too…
    1
  4311. African safari’s, may be keeping wild animals alive. Without that revenue, they are just food.

  4312. He makes Trump, too normal, relatable.

  4314. Anyone, but Trump!!

  4315. Maybe it was a Mao salute. The leader in body count.. 🦨💩🍯
    1
  4316. True, enough with the division, tearing us apart. Anything but, the big orange con man. He is destroying all of the alliances, with our trusted partners.
    1
  4317. Thank you, thank you, so much, for praising immigrants. It is people ready to work hard. That made the USA, and Canada, great. Not the already rich ones. Like we in Vancouver, have recently loaded up on.
    1
  4318. So, do we also abandon Taiwan? We run away from trouble, till it follows us home?
    1
  4319. I can’t drink and drive, and have to have a drivers license!! Means they are going to take my car away.
    1
  4320. China is loving, all the division.
    1
  4321. So, no mention, of the Chinese expansionism, military buildup?? It’s all good, right?
    1
  4322. Believing in the devil, does make for good storytelling.
    1
  4323. A bigger delusion, than more tech, fixing what we broke. Is the idea of terraforming a distant planet. For the wealthy few, to escape to. If we can do that. Restoring the health of paradise, should be a snap. Look into mycology. If you think a collection of seeds. In a bucket of sand, and composted poop, is a thriving ecosystem.
    1
  4324. Fentinal, is also Chinese chemical warfare.

  4325. If you’re on Chinese platforms, it’s done already.

  4331. Sounds a lot like China. 🍯🍯🍯
    1
  4332. It is true, that China is still building coal fired plants. Only their propaganda, is green.
    1
  4333. Something needs to be done about the Chinese fishing fleet. It's the biggest in the world. Even though, they've cleaned out, their home seas. Look up Galapagos islands, coast of Africa, Antarctica, and the Chinese fishing fleet.
    1
  4334. I’m wondering if it is suitable for me and my wife, to try. We have been married 12 years. Sharing emotional and physical intimacy is difficult, for us. I reach out to hold her. She holds herself for safety. Rather than open up, and embrace me, in return. We have tried alcohol, marijuana, psilocybin, marriage counselling. The tiniest amount of any of these, she doesn’t feel well.

  4335. Mmm live organ donation, occupied Tibet and Xinjiang. Free prosperous happy Taiwan. Mao bad, killed too many people, etc etc. Xi honeypot, 🦨💩🍯

  4336. But ChatGPT self censors any critical content about China. It’s not a good source.
    1
  4337. Unless those companies are tied to, the new party elite.
    1
  4338. Those countries are not like China. They don’t have the same victim narrative. That “justifies” Chinas colonialism, and unrestricted war with the west.
    1
  4339. Hi, I hope you’re doing better. My suggestion is, do you have any interests, hobby type things, or outdoor activities in mind? If you join a club, or group that shares an interest. You can meet some people, who are not focusing on each other, but the activity-interest. They are usually happy to include a new person. Religious groups especially, but they can get weird cultish.
    1
  4340.  @BapiBoozle  GJ, is having fun, crapping on people. Saying it’s gods will. We are all born beautiful, and good. Growing up, sometimes gets complicated. Ignore the haters.
    1
  4341. I can’t see how this much disruption, doesn’t take the wheels off the bus. A small disturbance, like a few banks defaulting, is enough to do it. He is tearing up as much as he can, with the whole world.
    1
  4342. Like with ever increasing coal burning. If it makes money, the CCP doesn’t care about the real costs. They fix it by controlling the narrative.. 🦨💩🍯
    1
  4343. Haha! Too late, to think about any consequences.
    1
  4344. Watch, Lei’s real talk. She covers, how the bird flu outbreak in China. Has caused a lot of human deaths there. But like usual, is covered up, and the USA is blamed. And 🦨💩🍯

  4345.  @gagamba9198 We may get a cheap retirement place there yet!!
    1
  4346. Reverso. Argentina will prosper. While the USA gets, oligarchs and brown shirts.
    1
  4347. No, he didn’t say that. What he did say is, Trump wants to break up important security institutions, and cuts off allies.
    1
  4348. China loves to work with dictators and doesn’t ask permission. 🍯
    1
  4349. Lying awake next to an avoidant, isn’t great either.
    1
  4350. China, is happy to fill the void. While the USA is in chaos.
    1
  4351. Anything that prevents more Chinese attention. 🍯

  4352. Petition your local congressman. This is insane.
    1
  4353. With all the white people’s shootings. This shouldn’t even make the news.
    1
  4354. I was horrified, at. The public statement, of. “Steal someone’s lunch, and get ahead” .A statement like that, promotes horrible people, just like the CCP.
    1
  4355. Lots of rain
    1
  4356. Agreed, when we buy things, or use energy. It is now in the environment. Where it wasn’t before.
    1
  4357. By the time they are affordable. The gasoline tax, will be tripled, or more. So those of us, driving a work vehicle, will be broke.
    1
  4358. Skytrain, started then? The fair monorail, in the 1986 picture, was removed after. Habitat island, is where the young human wildlife, go to drink. There should be some resident beavers, around there.
    1
  4359. With China pushing India’s border, It’ll be theirs one day. Along with all the Tibetan rivers.
    1
  4360. Society is so unforgiving of adultery. Why can’t we ask, why are you acting out? This is against everyone’s best interest, and you know it. But you do it anyway. Let us heal together. Especially the avoidant personality, that wants real connection, but is scared of it. So make’s sure, it doesn’t succeed.
    1
  4361. Wow, now think of yourself as a Tibetan or Uighur. In what Mao and his successors have created.
    1
  4362. My argument for religion, doesn’t get beyond the self, and one’s community. Because we are self aware, we have to be important.
    1
  4363. Our earliest groupings, would logically predate religion. That would come with, analytical and language skills.
    1
  4364. It works, if you have a sense of wonder and gratitude already. There are lots of bitter hermits, shunning society. I learned that, after living on an island.
    1
  4365.  @WONMARK Life is full of wrong turns. That’s what makes it interesting. How we learn, or don’t.
    1
  4366. Our innate desire to be good? Take it back, way back. As far back as we can find. We have lived in groups. We are a social animal. So, wanting to fit in, to benefit the group, is innate. We don’t do well in the wild, as one individual. It’s in our nature.
    1
  4367.  @roses6564 How long is the list of “important things”? Still sounds like failure. We all are weak, we all fail. As long as both partners, want the best for each other, it’s a win.
    1
  4368. Mao,,, the master of this concept.
    1
  4369. Xi, has brought Asian countries together. Putin, has unified Europe. Trump, has brought the whole world a little closer. (Even the dictators, love to play him). A great man, the best ever❤. Love and resolve, from Canada.
    1
  4370. China does not have social services, or universal healthcare. For the poor and migrant worker majority.
    1
  4371. An interesting twist in Canadian politics. Poilievre our Conservative Party leader, was heading for a landslide in our next election. He is backpedaling hard, now that captain chaos in the states, is in “charge”.
    1
  4372. Say this little thing with me, and all your sins are forgiven!! Wow, who is this guy??
    1
  4373. And in Canada, built in Toronto.

  4374. They also used a black cat, on the shoulder, for night vision.
    1
  4375. It’s ok, it’s friendly fire.

  4376. Now, all we have to do, is deter China.

  4377. You should talk to my ex wife.
    1
  4378. It was a life saver. Better utility of resources, would have prolonged the war.
    1
  4379. Came into service in China. Sounds like, a commercial airliner. Rather than part of the 1931 invasion. A side note. I have never heard any recognition from any Chinese. For the allies liberating China, from Japanese occupation.
    1
  4380. Force Zeee, stop saying Zeee. These are Royal Navy ships, they speak English.
    1
  4381.  @silenthunter8254  Zed. Emphasis on the e. I have no idea why. But some where along the way. Someone in the US, intentionally made changes to the English spelling. To differentiate, USA spelling, and pronunciation, from the rest of the english speaking world. Go ahead say Zee, i will cover my ears. But they are English ships, in the story.
    1
  4382. To be fair, there's lots of entitled shitty guy's out here too.
    1
  4383. The older ones, are scared to lose what they have. Like the Stockholm syndrome. The younger ones, see it as a scam.
    1
  4384. Taiwan says. “Oh great, another thing to worry about “
    1
  4385. Forgot to mention, that China has made artificial islands, and put missiles on them. In the, South of China Sea.

  4386. He appears to have aspirations. To kill more people, than Mao.
    1
  4387. Jokes aside, doesn’t the Haida, have an incredible war record?
    1
  4388. We would all love, a peaceful China. Not one, creating an arms race.
    1
  4389. As Serpentza says. We are a high trust society. China is a low trust society. Our strength, is our weakness, to them.
    1
  4390. That's how I feel in the forest, or the most natural place I can get to. It is life.
    1
  4391. So sad, for Hong Kong.
    1
  4392. Taiwan, doesn't need any more problems, these days.
    1
  4393.  @wpfrostyyy1686  It’s supposed to spray, like from a garden hose? No?
    1
  4394. I love the Chinese peace proposal. It recommends respecting national sovereignty and borders. That should be a huge relief for Taiwan. To no longer have to live with subversion, and threats, from the CCP. Even Tibet, and Xinjiang, could regain their autonomy.
    1
  4395. All the dictators seem to know. All they have to do, is flatter Trump. And they are best buddies.
    1
  4396. China is very disappointed. They wanted Russian success, as cover to invade Taiwan. Remember, they invaded India, at the start of the Cuba crisis. Then suddenly stopped, when it was resolved.
    1
  4397. Beating women, is much easier.
    1
  4398. Sound's like fun.
    1
  4399. Hong Kong, not any more!!
    1
  4400. Interesting no one is mentioning, who was in power. When this lovely precedent, was presented. So, where is government proof?
    1
  4401. Good habits, like not falling for these scammers.
    1
  4402. No hard feelings, being American in Serbia? The Serbians I work with in Vancouver, hate NATO, the USA, and Canada. For attacking them, in the Bosnian war. They refuse to believe, that Milosovich, is a war criminal.
    1
  4403. When it goes sideways, and your'e away from home... In February, my buddy and I, did a car road trip, from Vancouver to San Felipe Mexico. 5 minutes, across the border in Mexicali, we were shook down by the police. The rest of the time there everyone was really nice. But it places doubt, in your mind. You are the outsider. It made us more relaxed, tent camping, back through the USA.
    1
  4404. I don't own a $2mil shack, in Vancouver. Or have a pension. But, through living frugally, investing all the way. There is enough to last, beyond the end. My net worth is all in the bank/brokerage. Easy pickings, for a fat unproductive government. Taxes are more than reasonable now, considering excellent healthcare is included. But it won't be reasonable, in the near future. One or two, of these places, sound like a good idea.
    1
  4405. Is anyone watching the antarctic??
    1
  4406. Prevent this, where we can. Support the South China Sea countries, and Taiwan.
    1
  4407. We are on holiday in Thailand. In the area surrounding Phuket. Most of the tourists are young Russian couples, and young Russian families. It smells rotten, like the privilege class, is a little too good, to join their comrades.
    1
  4408. Places, that China doesn't hold sway over? It's becoming a big problem in Africa.
    1
  4409. Stand together, protect Taiwan.
    1
  4410. The average person in China is still in poverty, with no rights, worse In Russia. You are not allowed to talk about your condition, politics, or wrong beliefs. Here we still have free speech. So there is hope to break away from corporatocracy, but it isn’t Marxism. Marxism, sounds great, but it concentrates power, even more.
    1
  4411. Protect Taiwan, from this.
    1
  4412. Sending these young men, to fight for old man pride, is disgusting. Taiwan free forever. Russian's go home, fix your country. Peace Ukraine.
    1
  4413. Good thing, he isn't as bad as Mao!!
    1
  4414.  @bethanynelson8489  My comment, was not a reflection on religion. As much as it is about, the CCP trying to emulate a cult, or religious status, amongst their people. They encourage Mao, and party worship. To hold onto power. He tore down, a deep culture, and created a great famine. Yet is revered, by many. They use a religious model, for the communist party. Any other faith, is a threat, to the power and wealth.
    1
  4415. These young men, don't deserve, what they have been asked to do. Don't let this happen in Taiwan. Pull your pension $ out of China.
    1
  4416. China take heed.
    1
  4417. Mao, was a god? He did some serious killing work. Yet is revered, by his victims.
    1
  4418. We keep seeing the same clips. They should be date stamped. Keep Taiwan safe.
    1
  4419. Keep Taiwan safe.

  4420. A series of old men committees. Updated over time. Is that what you mean?
    1
  4421. Ouch?? G must have had a “special relationship”, with that prophet.
    1
  4422. A shame, it will be needed, for rebuilding.
    1
  4423. YouTube is an audiovisual medium. Should they just show, puppies and kittens?
    1
  4424. Prevention, prevention, prevention. Protect Taiwan, loud and clear.
    1
  4425. I’m praying for Taiwan, Solomon Islands, this doesn’t happen.
    1
  4426.  @bethanynelson8489  I know. I just get tired of the fundamentalist types. Who leave no room for anyone else. They can be quite dangerous, if they attain political power.
    1
  4427. Does anyone have a location on this? Google maps, places Elliot Lake, at 105 mile house, area.
    1
  4428. You are talking logic, to zealots. You must be inspired by the devil. (I never understood. If you believe in god. You also have to believe in the devil) How f’d up is that??
    1
  4429. Protecting the people, or a want to be dictator? Don't become China.
    1
  4430. You’ve been to China?

  4431.  @fullauto86  That goes completely against, the protect against big brother controlling us?? That’s the last book to ban, in a free speech, freedom of movement society!!!
    1
  4432.  @fullauto86  Ouch! That’s nasty. Who banned it?
    1
  4433.  @shylogik  It’s this long trail, of fish bait, and hooks. That gives it away. It makes my blood boil. Knowing that they get the elderly, and the desperate. With no consequences, for the harm caused.
    1
  4434.  @slimslam  On the one version, he searched for a mate, before Eve was made. Suggesting a little bestiality.  A missing rib, would fit a realistic story, instead of it being mythology.
    1
  4435. Genesis 1, said Adam and Eve were made together. Genesis 2, said Adam tried to find a mate, ( sounds interesting). Then Eve was made from a man, his rib.
    1
  4436. Definitely of. There are lots of other countries. On the, american continents.
    1
  4437. We are so, a part of America. Not the USA, but North America. Saying America, as a country. Is like saying there is only one country, on the two continents.
    1
  4438.  @dragonfliesatdawn2143  Haven’t you heard! The CCP message control network says. There are 0 cases of CCP virus, in China. It’s the fault of foreigners.
    1
  4439. We trust their numbers, right? The CCP virus, wasn't a China problem at all.
    1
  4440. Thats where the forced labour camps, come in handy. So we can still have cheap, solar panels, and other products.
    1
  4441. We have to pay our Dr’s US level wages to keep them. The system is crashing, it’s burning down. -40* is great, but we will make mittens, out of your cat.

  4444. Look around, they already have.
    1
  4445. Moving forward, with thousands of nuclear warheads. So we can die faster, rather than slowly, by all the pollution, and no fish left.
    1
  4446. Serious? That is so my church, can be more powerful, than your church. Forced, or external recruitment, is difficult.
    1
  4447.  @GrantAugustus1  You should see Vancouver, they're all here.
    1
  4448. If they invade Taiwan. They don’t have a chance. Canada, will send all its, interceptor geese.
    1
  4449. We all know, that too much lobbying, loose donation laws, results in massive fraud. Bankrupting the country, through the medical, military, prison, ect systems. That are run by big corporations. Is it long past the time? To review how other democracies, handle this problem. A taxpayer revolt, saying fix it!! We will pay you well, to represent us. But no more side deals, cut the crap, it’s killing us.

  4450.  @beamie9251  If we can't keep paradise, in decent shape. How long will we last in a science lab, out in space.

    1
  4456.  @drazi3356  You're right, 2023 was pretty bad. According to wikepedia, there were 5 mass shootings in Canada, out of 27 shot, there were 11 deaths. (Mass shootings, 4 or more are included). USA, 604 mass shootings, 754 killed, 2,443 injured, total shot 3197.  We are way behind in Canada, we need more guns.
    1
  4457. I never agreed with, spend, spend, spend, to “prosperity”. But he is right on, with this one.
    1
  4458. Chinese agent? You can keep him.
    1
  4459. Wrong topic. #1. Getting the economy going again. #2. Pushing back against China. If those don't get dealt with. The rest doesn't matter. Also, healing the political divide, creating community again.

  4465. If we’re not careful, the whole world is traditional Chinese territory. Ho hi ho, off to camp we go.
    1
  4466. I personally, don't like Trump. But he is one of the few, to call out the CCP, this is good. Do not go on TicToc, it is backed by the CCP. They use it for influence, and propaganda.
    1
  4467. The orange snake?
    1
  4468. Good old TikTok, bringing down our society. By design.
    1
  4469. While we argue. The world burns. Chinese coal plants, are killing us right now. Every other energy source, is in degrees better. But none are, “Good” for the environment. Get these things up and running, now. To cut, all the worse polluters.
    1
  4470. I’m not sure what century you are living in. But native people today. Like to have, heated houses, manufactured clothing, store bought food, cell phones, trucks, water treatment, property development. There isn’t room for all of us, to go back to the woods. So, the next best thing, is to do the best we can do, with what we all have. A modular reactor, could prevent, the damming of a few rivers. The slave labour, for solar panels. Or all the heavy metals in wind turbines. That would be fantastic.
    1
  4471. All the coal burning, is a Fukushima a week? It isn’t a big news story, so it just carries on, until we all have cancer.
    1
  4472. We in the west, still subsidize Chinese shipping rates, and send them money. Because they still claim to be, a developing nation. Stop enabling them.

  4478.  @dontbanmebrodontbanme5403  The Chinese, are having a huge"flu" outbreak right now. They no longer test for covid. Because it's officially over, like poverty there.

  4482. How about a battery for Canada. Longer days, of summer sunlight. Winter, a lot of firewood.
    1
  4483. When is someone domestic. Going to build something. To replace my old Volvo wagons?
    1
  4484. Who tossed ten trillion of extra debt, on a dead economy? That, and 70 years of collective deficits, from both parties. Is hitting the wall. It’s just starting.
    1
  4485. A phrase that has stuck with me, all my life. “What goes down the drain, comes back in your drink” To take that literally. What chemicals that go down the drain. Are now in the environment. The water goes into the land, the river, and everywhere. On its way, to coming back in your drink. Can you drink the river water, that leaves your town? Think of your whole life as a bubble. What are the inputs, of the things you bring in. They are now in the world. If you buy a Chinese made EV, electronics, or solar panels. The environmental, and human inputs are horrendous. As well as all the other manufactured products. Use what you have already, buy local, simplify. You will be happier.

  4486. I’m still waiting to see, the new range of movement. Show it, doing something more than a gimbal.
    1
  4487. Only allow imports, from countries, with good environmental, legal, and human rights standards.

  4488.  @siamcharm7904  Bingo. #1 market for coal, and surveillance equipment.
    1
  4489.  @siamcharm7904  You have some reading to do. Since you are on this format, you have access, to the free press. Like Hong Kong used to have.

  4490.  @jacobheinz8236  Most countries, are trying, to do better.
    1
  4491. On the upside, we are paying for the rebates. So rich people could buy more of them.
    1
  4492. We really need this. Western made products, have huge duties on them, in China. So we shouldn’t give, the Chinese autos, special treatment.
    1
  4493. Processing cleanly, while cost effective, is the problem. China undercut the western producers, by bypassing environmental, and labour laws.
    1
  4494. As long as Tesla is made in China, it's tech is up for grabs. As a long time Volvo owner, i have 6 old ones, right now. I'm really conflicted. Sending money to a government, that intends to undermine us, is a really bad idea.
    1
  4495. The irony. Coal powered, EV’s. China has agreed to be carbon neutral by 2060. That’s 40 years, to burn the rest of the coal.
    1
  4496. If built in China, coal.
    1
  4497. If there supply stream, is not reliant on China. That’s a huge advantage. In so many ways.
    1
  4498. Ask him, when his family came over?
    1
  4499. Don’t forget, that the Chinese EV’s, are coal powered.
    1
  4500. Not so fast. You’re ok to support, their military buildup against us. Human rights, and environmental problems? They can build them cheaper, but not for good reasons.
    1
  4501.  @JohnZoetebier  Yes, if China was like Taiwan. A peaceful, prosperous country. With human rights, environmental laws, etc. The world would happily embrace them.
    1
  4502.  @markuc  So you’ve never heard of the nine dash line? Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, increasing coal burning, the massive, militarized fishing fleet? Organ harvesting, religious persecution, misinformation in all the worlds media, mass surveillance, no free speech. Little things like that. A promise to build 3000 nukes. Brilliant!!
    1
  4503. Communist China, would like to have a word with you. A dna, and a healthy organ check, is in order.
    1
  4504. As long as China is the leader in military buildup, human rights issues, and pollution. We shouldn’t let their cars in. If we do, there is no bargain power.
    1
  4505. Meanwhile, in China… The ministry of truth. Tells its people, that their aggression, to all their neighbours, is warranted. That they are the victims. How scary is that. While they build up, the military.
    1
  4506. In your schools, are the maps and globes, made in China? Likely yes. Change them. Yes even the old ones, are wrong. It’s propaganda.

  4507. Status is crap. She deserves a good loving person, or better to stay single.
    1
  4508. There are people out there who are on the edge. Who are hyper vigilant, to a potential slight. They feel totally justified. In being way off kilter. Avoid at all costs.
    1
  4509. Guilty, of putting the seat down.
    1
  4510. Perhaps, the corporations lawyers and insurance companies, shouldn’t be running the show. Get the lobbyists out of government. They are bankrupting the country.
    1
  4511. Public service, vs, how much can we charge.
    1
  4512. You will, it’s called state bankruptcy.
    1
  4513. How many billion's, are enough people? China is already, the world's largest polluter. A steady decline, in population. Might just give us, some breathing room.

  4514. If we could just ignore, the far left, and the far right. (The noisy ones). We can get along pretty good.

  4515. What to do now? The covid cheques, have dried up.
    1
  4516. As a QC test. Ask chat GTP, about physical and cultural genocide in Tibet and Xinjiang.
    1
  4517. Have you looked at, Chinese resource extraction?
    1
  4518.  @susan56566  You have incredible insight, to know. That she was a single divorced mom, with a job that she hated, and a 13 yr old son. With our shared home, and security. She quit that job, and trained in what she was interested in. Brian calmed down, and due to his hard work, is doing very well in his career. She is a much happier person now. I could be wrong, it may all be an illusion.
    1
  4519.  @rap3208  True, it isn't the peoples fault. But their government, that promotes an insular view.

  4520. Did he say, Jahova?

  4521. If it was a Chinese company. They bring in their own workers, with no social responsibility.
    1
  4522.  @markanthony3275 Their favourite method, elite capture. Then bring in their own workers, rules, and methods.
    1
  4523. Go back to your country, is so rude. If you’re not native. You were an immigrant, at some point. Poor immigrants, have always been the strength, of the USA/Canada.

  4524. I’m sure Dinh, has lots of new snuggle buddies.

  4525. After working long days, 6 days a week. Retirement is awesome. Working less, just enough to pay the rent. But now heaving time, for friends, family, and volunteering. Is fantastic.
    1
  4526. I married the most wonderful person, I still love her. 28 years together, she couldn’t do touch. We bought a king size bed, so there was no excuse for touching. But she would reach her foot over, and place it on top of mine. That’s how I knew she loved me. Yes sheer torment. For a there month preemie.
    1
  4527.  @atadbitahistory9660  Ya, some weird shit going on behind door #1.
    1
  4528.  @wessltov  It’s terrible to be stuck in a rut. Have you tried any activities, or meditation, a pilgrimage. That take your mind off, what is troubling you? To clear your mind for a reset. (I know, it’s easy for me to say)
    1
  4529. So many of us here, want to find comfort in a partners love. But end up attaching to avoidant’s, and abusers. (Also people who are in pain, but push any love away) What happens, when two wounded ducks find each other? I see the pain in others, and want to hold them, and love them. But in the end, I want the same for me.
    1
  4530. Hi Karen, it’s never too late to find yourself. I’m 64, much happier about life. But still struggling to ask for things. Especially with invoicing for my work, and asking my wife to touch me, in a loving way. (She gets mad, at that).
    1
  4531. Self soothing.
    1
  4532.  @SnakeSalmon8izback  She gets that.
    1
  4533. Are there degrees of narcissism? Somethings my wife does, fit the description. But not everything.
    1
  4534. It can be very confusing. But some people get scared, when someone else, gets too close. As soon as they feel, you need them, they run.
    1
  4535. I really need to pick up my game. I asked my wife to give me an intentional kiss, while sitting on a park bench. She said, don’t make me do something I don’t want to do.
    1
  4536. My mantra, has been. I can handle it, whatever it is.
    1
  4537. Canada. Are you trying to depress me? My wife, has always been uncomfortable, with looking into my eyes.
    1
  4538. Some people may only know how to communicate this way because that’s what they were raised with
    1
  4539. Ok ok, did you marry her. She sounds like the ultimate keeper.
    1
  4540. Empaths can be missing out, on feeling secure with themselves. Holding back in relationships. We learn to read other people’s cues. From growing up in an unsafe environment. It can be a blessing, if you also find safety in your heart.
    1
  4541.  @bastionsea2829  I guess I'm old fashioned. For me it's in the kiss. Where the true feelings are communicated. As long as it works, for you guy's.
    1
  4542.  @bastionsea2829  Cuddling and kissing is sexual. My wife doesn't go as far as that. It is torment for me to lie awake at night. When my partner is so close, yet far away. Matching your styles is important. Or at least being clear, whether you are compatible.
    1
  4543. The gerbil. I enjoyed the “safety, and privacy” of my bedroom. Avoiding adult attention. My love style identifies with my gerbils. They showed genuine love and affection for each other. They also slept peacefully, cuddled up together.
    1
  4544. Instead of being a health topic. It’s become a political topic, for the loud ones. Don’t let them, control the narrative.
    1
  4545. Doing things for others, while silently expecting the same back, doesn't work. Do things for others, if you genuinely feel good and enriched by it. Then leave it at that. Join a hobby, activity group like hiking, where being around other people is secondary. But in parallel, are interested in doing something. Not a one hour class, where everyone just leaves after.
    1
  4546.  @skater96937  Take baby steps, walk in the park. Sit on a bench, near an old person, and say hello. They have lived life, and are invisible in our society. Some may grunt, some may ramble, but many will brighten up, and shine.
    1
  4547. I doubt, many 90yr olds are watching this.
    1
  4548. My wife is uncomfortable, if I see her naked. Of course, that just makes it worse, for both of us.
    1
  4549. Difficulty. Promotes resilience, and self worth.
    1
  4550. These “important” Chinese guys, scare the heck out of me. The CCP promises to build 1300 nukes. While these spoiled, only children, in charge. Have such fragile egos, and a victim attitude. Yes, I have visited my Beijing in-laws. It was a real eye opener.
    1
  4551.  @tinaespino7874  Never too late. I’m 61, and married to a critic.
    1
  4552. Why don’t they do something useful. Like liberate, East Turkestan, (Xinjiang).

  4553. I love Volvo's. Have lost count of how many iv'e had. But, why the burnout's. Show them on the track, hill climb, off road, or something!!

  4554.  @turboahdettusupra  325 e36, for $300 bucks? Where can i get one?

  4556. We know he is a coward, and has no heart. But suggesting he has a brain? Too much!!

  4557. Please no to Chinese EV’s. Not while the CCP is in power. They are at war with us. Fellow Canadian. ❤️
    1
  4558. Get to know the person, before passing judgement. Especially when young, we struggle with meaningful connection. We are still learning, about ourselves, the world, our wounded inner self. A quality man, will take the time to understand, another person.
    1
  4559. If you are serious about dating. The first dates are not about hooking up. It’s getting to know each other. Guys will f just about anything. Women get stuck with the child. So yes, they do need to know, if the guy is the real deal. That he isn’t just saying the right things.
    1
  4560. Omg, I’m 64 and all I want, is for my wife to touch me back.
    1
  4561. This kind of insecurity, is so immature, and damaging. It’s guaranteed, to push her away.
    1
  4562.  @Underratedcommentator  Of course we work on ourselves, for a lifetime. My first marriage was for 25 years. We still love each other, care about each other. My ex has never gotten over her childhood trauma. I tried to love her the best I could, but failed her. After divorcing me, she is now alone, an alcoholic, and a gambler. It's hard to watch. She has had therapists, all her adult life. My second marriage, is also to someone, who is scared to open up. In our twelfth year, we got fed up with both our walls.  Everything is on the table, we are feeling safer with each other. We are both opening up our mental closets. Realizing that our pasts, can have less power over us. If we feel safe and loved.  The self help, in my 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, did not have the degree of self love, and compassion for others required. Bouncing it off, a genuine loving partner, is priceless. Back to the original point. We were both hurt, by our exes. How we participated in those situations is valid, it carries forward.
    1
  4563. Ha, if my wife heard this!!
    1
  4564. True but,,, I’m self employed, I’m 64, and still working. A high school friend, got on with the city parks. Had a chill job, no stress, lots of paid holidays, a good wage, and retired decades ago with a pension. We laughed at him, back then, ha ha ha. Marriage? You get through the rough times. You grow faith in each other. Then you really have something.
    1
  4565. Is it still play. When you love someone, they are the most desirable. Regardless of how they look.
    1
  4566. Cheating, is only when you hide something. When you don’t feel safe enough with your partner, to share what you are feeling. Or think you need.
    1
  4567. If you are genuine in your happiness, you will do well with others. Especially when traveling. We have relatives, who bring crappy gifts. With the expectation of cleaning out our garden, dinner, or a free drive to somewhere far. Guess what, we avoid them.
    1
  4568. She thought it was abstinence, from drink.

  4569. Hey!!! No talking about my wife!

  4570. A public service announcement. Why cash, is so important.

  4580. Show me a country, that has a heathy thriving natural environment. It has the right amount of people. Even Canada, has way too many.
    1
  4581. What? The whole world uses plastic, because it is cheap, and versatile. That's why it is going to be really hard, to stop using it.
    1
  4582. Don’t worry, China will probably pipe Tibet’s water, for itself anyway.
    1
  4583. Even under pressure, the density of water barely changes. So, still the same chance, of floaters in the dark.

  4584. Come on people, stop being trash.
    1
  4585. My feet never got cold. In my moose bottom, caribou tops, moccasins. With felt liners, and wool socks. We would snowshoe, 50 miles every Saturday. In the Alberta foot hills. I so regret, throwing them away, because of some loose stitching.
    1
  4586. Canadian boots?
    1
  4587. Permanent unrecoverable collapse. Could that be, all the pollution from China, and the rest of the world? A life boat, for the richest people, to where?
    1
  4588. The wounded child…. I was a three month preemie. Dad tried to get mom to miscarriage. I need physical contact. My wife, had multiple bowel related surgeries as an infant. She doesn’t trust touch. But can’t be alone. It took her a long time to get up the courage to separate. If only, we sought help. Right from the beginning. To understand what we were doing.
    1
  4589.  @lindagirl1140  Mind if I jump in? Linda, please don't berate yourself. As Justin said, we all show our love differently. My wife says, that I have no idea how much she loves me. That I can't go deep enough (spiritually) to understand her feelings. Her feelings, are beyond the physical. At a higher level of consciousness. She doesn't need all that touchy kissy stuff.  So yes, the bedroom is a place of conflicted feelings, for me. With lots of meditation, to sleep. Unless I'm on my own. Touching him more, would have meant nothing to him. As a reflection of my character, I open doors, walk kerb side, little touches, and try to do thoughtful things. Knowing it should be done independently of expectation. But you can't help, wanting some in return. If that's part of how you communicate.   It's not your looks Linda. Do you love a child, or a pet, with your whole heart? Regardless of their looks, or mannerisms. A spouse should be in that category. It sounds like, he never saw your beauty. Or was scared to open up.

  4590. Now I need to know, what my fat index is. At 63 I’ve never been to the gym, or measured any of this stuff. You just know, if you are looking after yourself, or not.

  4591. The airline analogy, failed. Airline safety, proves integrity in that system. Cabin comforts, is the service side. That’s up to the airline.

  4592. Hyper conscientious, and his business trapped in China. Now that’s, a defining conflict of interest.
    1
  4593. When families come into new wealth. Is a dangerous situation for their kids. Like with China’s little emperors. The parents want a better “easier” life for their child.
    1
  4594. Clownshow, I’m right with you. Everyone needs to lighten up, and share some good will, at minimum a smile. Society today is so insular and isolating. Drawing them out?? HaHaHa. My wife is a wonderful companion, very smart, and proficient. But terrified to open up, to initiate affection, to look into my eyes. She says “I hate you, when you sexualize me”. I’m old enough to not be so hurt, and laugh at the irony.
    1
  4595. So the sooner, he can start a new one? Why can’t these people, get put away somewhere. Naked, covered in bacon fat, in a bear cage, at the zoo. Ticket sales, going to catch, more scammers. Or even, shutting down Chinese propaganda.
    1
  4596. At least not in the halls of power. He is compromised, by his factories in China. His reliance on the good will of colonial China.

  4597. Is Priceless.

  4598. The terror ban, the s priceless. Like China, banning poverty, and pollution.

  4599. Are these people, supposed to be managing. Or debating taking rights away.

  4600. Define leadership!! Gold is going straight up, why? Fear and instability. Not a good thing.

  4601. Thank you. We don’t want to boycott the USA. We don’t want to boo your anthem.

  4602. That is disgusting. Xi and Putin, praise him. Just like that, he sold the country, and its allies.
    1
  4603. Thank you, Mr Petersen. Well said.
    1
  4604. My worry is. When he provokes allies. They reject him. Then he wants to retaliate. While Xi, Kim, and Putin, praise him. Putting us all at much greater risk.
    1
  4605. As Trump tried to go full on dictator. We lose sight of the other enemy, in our social media, and at the gates. China wants to eat the world’s lunch.
    1
  4606. Healthcare? No, we can’t drain the big business swamp!! I want them to like me!! Real business people, laugh at me. Trump.

  4607. Fake news, fake news, fake news, waaaaaa!!!
    1
  4608. I’m so glad you mentioned China. They are playing us, against ourselves. While our purchases finance their military. Ask chat GTP about ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang or Tibet. It self sensors, to not say anything.
    1
  4609. As we fall deeper into a depression. The incumbent, always takes the fall. Leaving the door wide open. For the guy, who dumped ten unproductive trillion, into a dying economy. Alienated, all of the allies. Right when the world, needs a strong unified west, standing with the USA,
    1
  4610. Because corporatocracy is bankrupting the country. If anyone has the guts to do anything about it? No, he doesn’t either.
    1
  4611. Tariffs on Tesla cars, got Trumps ear.

  4612. What a disaster. On so many levels. Elon’s bosses are the CCP.

  4613. I’m very impressed, subsist is a big word.

  4614. Damn, Mexico got one on us. Canada needs to stop the flow of illegal firearms from the states, it’s huge.
    1
  4615. He did one good thing. Getting tough with China. But aggravating the connections with friends and ally countries, was a tragic loss of credibility, for the USA.
    1
  4616. We have a problem, because of our close proximity, and friendship. Most of our trade, goes south/north. Making us vulnerable, to this madman. He did it last time, and now wants to destroy, all the rest of our good will. Don’t burn friends. China will take advantage.
    1
  4617. Conflict of interest?? Elon is completely reliant, on China.
    1
  4618. It’s a lot more than trade. It’s alliances. While China is engaged in unrestricted warfare, and building its military capabilities.
    1
  4619. He is a most devout worshipper, of himself.
    1
  4620. China is pushing in all directions.

  4621. Same with Taiwan, and the Philippines.
    1
  4622. Daily reminder, Taiwan is an awesome, free independent country.
    1
  4623. China too far away?? They supply the chemicals, and the financing, to the cartels.
    1
  4624. A reminder, why we need to protect Taiwan. 🍯
    1
  4625. Good, we don’t want to support, China’s colonialism, and military. Luckily, Mexico also has low cost skilled labour.
    1
  4626. Work with, your friends and allies, idiot.

  4627. Oligarchs, and brown shirts, pull a coup in the USA. Never in a million years, would that be predicted.
    1
  4628. Having the core of his business, in the hands of the CCP, will not end well. For us, and him.
    1
  4629. Love him, or hate him. Elon is compromised, with all of his Holdings in China. The CCP, is holding his wallet.

  4630. News flash, greater economic and social inequality, makes for a more unhealthy society.
    1
  4631. Meme coins have no value. It’s a gamble, till gone. Trump is a sure thing, you know you’re going to get screwed.
    1
  4632. As a citizen of the world. Anything is better than Trump. We need to work together, as China wants to destroy us. Yes he has good China policy. But he doesn’t do teamwork.

  4633. This is what happens, when you do not bond, with your children. They are forever trapped, in an abandoned toddlers emotional state.

  4637. Another question, what can get through airport security, for carry on. Tactical pen, probably not?

  4638. Consume less. What you do buy, try for local, and from places that have enforced pollution laws. Don’t buy from China, they are aggressively increasing their coal burning, and military.
