    Historically Taiwan has been controlled by many countries, both Asian and European over many centuries.

    I said China "Believes" it has historical rites going back to the Qing dynasty, and will in time try to take control once again.

    In the same way it now believes it owns the South China sea...

    Agreed and just as any other country in the same situation would most certainly do.

    I do like his dressing up wardrobe.

    When he was the health minister, he had a number of different, white 'doctor's' outfits.

    Now that he is a minister in a civilian government, he wears military uniforms.

    He either likes dressing up or the uniforms help him to feel important.

    Didnt you ever play dress-ups?

    Seems to be yet another failed system check of laws (fed & state) already on the books.

     

    Oh well ... 🔫

     

    Too bad an armed citizen hasn't taken him out yet.  So much for lax law being of any help in this case, as you don't need a permit to carry in Maine, concealed or open.

     

    In Philly, he wouldn't make it halfway down the block without someone capping his A$$ 🤣

    What has Australian dollars got to do with it?

    It's commonly understood corruption is an acceptable daily part of Thai life, and schools are no exception.

     

    I worked on and off for 10 years at several branches of the largest private school system in Southeast Asia. The advice given to all new farang teachers from existing farang teachers: "We're not here to teach, we're here to give the appearance of teaching." Of course that was a little tongue in cheek, but there was a lot of truth to that statement.

     

    The examples of corruption ran strong with that school, from the directors on down. If they can avoid paying a promotion or any other bonus to a returning teacher, well it's just cheaper to let that teacher go and get another fresh victim.

    I reckon I worked for the same cash cow, the president, now passed was well known as being insane , loyalty over skills or experience, provide as little as possible but extract the max from parents while all the time fooling everyone it is a Hi So 'school'.
