    Does anyone think this might cause irreparable rifts within EU.

     

    I know it's a two way arguement. Remainers on one side and Brexiteers on the other, but surely some of the more powerful nations, bar Germany and France, might start to think about their EU membership.

     

    Note, are there any powerful nations in EU bar Germany and France?

    When the master's dog is left starving at the gate it is a sign that all is not well in the house.

    Then you must have got one out of some rural village. (Dongbei area perhaps?) 

    After many times with her in Europe, and now two years living here in Bangkok... Mine is super nationalist and patriotic, far more than I could ever feel towards my home country. And keep in mind, that I was raised in the center of a militaries/politicians family in Europe.... so if anyone should be patriotic and nationalist that should be me, but nothing in comparison to her ????

    Tbh sometimes I couldn't care less about my own country. Sometimes I see Brits bashing Spain (my home country) on Gibraltar, and I just pretend I didn't see it. Other times I see someone bashing China, and I jump right into bashing back, even if it's not even my country!!! I guess countries are just like friends, when somebody is good to you and gives you chances, you defend them. Otherwise you couldn't care less, regardless of who is on the right side and who is on the wrong side... 

    Worse than that she is out of Sichuan.  Way out of.  The thing is that I am not saying that she isn't nationalistic nor patriotic (most Chinese are very much so; they love China) it is just that she abhors the CCP thugs.

    Example: When I first got into China many years ago, the traffic police caught me driving without a valid Chinese driving license. The law says that in this case they have to fine you and put you in administrative detention of no more than 15 days. Guess what? The cop let me go with just advice on how to convert my DL into a Chinese one….. Try it again, and depending on the situation they may actually detain you. 

    I showed an old out of date international licence but it had Chinese writing on the front page and they thought it was wonderful that a laowei had a licence.

    Just when will the "Five Eyes" stop spying on China?

    One cannot complain about China spying on the West when the west spies on China.

    Nobody in this forum knows whether these particular guys are innocent or guilty. They presume their inocence because of racist anti-Chine bias which has been generated by a coordinated anti-China campaign over the past 4 years. 

    Countries have their own customs and rules with regard to trials. If you don't agree with China's laws then either don't break them or don't go there.

    Whoa up.  If you have lived there then you will know that this is the way the Chinese see things.  Typical tit for tat.  You take mine hostage (regardless of international law, which, believe it or not they just cannot relate to) and I will take yours hostage. You give me mine and I will give you yours.  This is the way it has been for thousands of years and change doesn't come easily in China.  Good people, bad government.

    You know this how?

     

    Unless there is evidence upon which a statement is made, there can be no excuse for this. Making statements that cannot be proven as factual constitutes a lie in my book.

    He makes a good point.  Just today when reading the "news", I was not surprised by just how much fake and melodramatic nonsense is sent our way in the name of real news.  Anyone with an ounce of experience and any brain whatsoever can see straight through it but still they do it.   I believe in the old adage..........."never believe anything you hear (this includes all forms of media) and only half of what you see with your own eyes.
