Popular Post ArcticFox Posted July 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2021 1 hour ago, chalawaan said: Setting up ANY company in Hong Kong, much less a media outlet for all of ASEAN, in 2021 is asking for a world of hurt, did we not just read about the fate of Hong Kong free-press newspaper Apple Daily? I guess the upper management are cool with the cowed ASEAN way going forward? What are they thinking? Also, as the old TVN mods are based in Thailand, of course the government will arrest them under 112 for anything anyone says on here. One could probably go to the Phillippine site to complain about the unmentionable in LoS, but just don't expect the local users to be very happy at the incursion. What's to worry about. China will latch on to the information teats and milk it for what it's worth. Then when the China-Taiwan reunification comes (along with a East-West regional war) the occupying forces will have a wealth of information regarding 'undesirables' within their midst. Makes perfect sense. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticFox Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 58 minutes ago, holy cow cm said: Definitely linked to Hong Kong now which is 100% overshadowed by the CCP. Seems all part of the 100 year celebration yesterday. Going to contemplate staying on today, but logically it is almost time to bow out except for immigration info. I am not a computer expert by a long shot, but maybe logging in and using this site opens or will eventually open one up to a backdoor of an open CCP Pandora's box. Hopefully it doesn't secretly infect your computer. As we just read Taiwan recalled trade staff from Hong Kong as they were being forced to sign and swear allegiance to the Red monster. I didn't sign up for any part of the CCP and we should be allowed to now rescind our membership and have all info and posts deleted if we choose to go that route. It is one thing agreeing for a product, but it is another not being asked for our approval and switched to take another one. I don't use Alibaba anymore because I was sold off and hit hard by spam. Gonna be asking questions today and then next few days for the reality of what can happen now it has switched. Such a bummer! Asean now may mean one road, one belt one Master, one set of rules. What flavor of totalitarianism do you like? Eastern or Western? My guess is the latter. You haven't noticed that the West (a civilization in decline) is rolling out restrictions on "free speech" and "freedom of movement" and "freedom of expression" that in many ways more repressive than anything 2021 China is engaged in doing, or at least the same. China (a civilization on the rise) has gone through a highly repressive stage and has developed a system that is providing its citizens an increasingly better standard of life. Very soon it will ellipse the West which is rapidly imploding. If I had kids? They'd be learning Manderin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In its next edition of the most free countries in the world, they'll label Australia (a country which has locked its citizens within their border) a 100% "free" country. Only countries which have been absorbed by the Western Borg-mind (Exceptional Hegamon Extraordinaire) will be labelled as "free" by Freedom House. That reality is fungible. Aldous Huxley had his fingers on the pulse of the kind of "freedom" that is being ushered onto the West, in this case in the name of "Covid-19" and later in the name of "man-made climate change" or whatever reality dejour is offered up as the causus belli of the day in the war to control the plebeians.You'll own nothing and you'll be happy. -coming soon compliments of your beatific task-masters at the World Economic Forum That doesn't represent my vision of the future.

But in this case, my guess is that 99% of the expat members here can't see what is eventually coming. And it is coming! If they could, most would probably leave. Me? I have no problems with China.
