Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Terrorists causing shit to Chinese interests.
China wants to grow larger? This will be what they get.Welcome to foreign entanglements China, it’s annoying and nasty stuff, as you’ll come to learn.
I had a feeling this was Pine Ridge even before I looked it up.In this interview with Filmmaker magazine, the Director stated that she felt personal resonance with her story and that of Lakota people growing up in an impoverished reservation in the United States, which was what her first critically acclaimed film Songs My Brother Taught Me, was about.
Kotaku Australia said:On Tuesday, nearly three weeks after the comments and apologies were made, some members of the four Chinese Overwatch League teams — the Shanghai Dragons, Chengdu Hunters, Hangzhou Spark, and Guangzhou Charge — posted various statements on Chinese social media platform Weibo condemning Park’s words. Some of these posters also said they would not participate in any Overwatch League event in which Park would be present.
Not surprising considering the fact that Mao's China back NK during the Korean War and China remains NK's biggest backer.Koreans have a growing hatred towards China

Oh heavens, anything but that!Some of these posters also said they would not participate in any Overwatch League event in which Park would be present.
Foreign Policy said:In April 2020, the Communist Party secretary of the TAR, Wu Yingjie, traveled across two passes, both more than 14,000 feet high, on his way to visit the new village. There he told the residents—all of them Tibetans—to “put down roots like Kalsang flowers in the borderland of snows” and to “raise the bright five-star red flag high.” Film of the visit was broadcast on local TV channels and plastered on the front pages of Tibetan newspapers. It was not reported outside China: Hundreds of new villages are being built in Tibet, and this one seemed no different.
Gyalaphug is, however, different: It is in Bhutan. Wu and a retinue of officials, police, and journalists had crossed an international border. They were in a 232-square-mile area claimed by China since the early 1980s but internationally understood as part of Lhuntse district in northern Bhutan. The Chinese officials were visiting to celebrate their success, unnoticed by the world, in planting settlers, security personnel, and military infrastructure within territory internationally and historically understood to be Bhutanese.
Foreign Policy said:That area, known traditionally as the Beyul Khenpajong, is one of the most sacred locations in Bhutan, where the majority of the population follows Tibetan Buddhist traditions. The word Beyul means “hidden valley,” a term used in traditional Tibetan literature for at least seven areas high in the Himalayas ringed by mountain ridges and, according to legend, concealed by the legendary tantric master Padmasambhava in the eighth century and only discoverable by those with heightened spiritual powers. The Beyul Khenpajong is the most famous such valley in Bhutan, described in Bhutanese literature and myth since at least the 15th century. Jigme Namgyal, the father of the first king of Bhutan’s current ruling dynasty, was born on the eastern perimeter of the Beyul, only 75 miles as the crow flies northeast of Bhutan’s now-capital, Thimphu. Given its incomparable importance for the Bhutanese and for Tibetan Buddhists in general, no Bhutanese official would ever formally relinquish this area to China, any more than Britain would yield Stonehenge or Italy Venice.
I mean, what can Bhutan do about it?SNIP
I mean, what can Bhutan do about it?
My guess is that the elites controlling Bhutan probably have some sort of secret understanding with the ChiComs about what they're doing.
hence their silence.
They're taking advantage of India's Corona situation.China is really pushing Indias buttons....
They're taking advantage of India's Corona situation.
This land claim alone constitutes about 1% of Bhutans entire territory (the equivalent of the US say losing Maine apparently) and is a recent claim on Bhutanese territory made by the Chinese Communists, dating only back to 1980's.
It's a long article but well worth reading on the duplicity and arrogance of the Chinese foreign policy.
Oh boy! Sounds like someone needs a village bombed. If India went ahead, they'd be in the right as they are dealing with an invasion.China is really pushing Indias buttons....
