Members pay an entrance fee of about HK$400,000 (S$68,000) and some have been vocal in their opposition to the redevelopment plan, citing ecological, commercial and social reasons to make their case.

Nobody working class is missing out on their golf because of this.

Beijing directly exhorted local officials to fix the problems in the aftermath of the mass protests that rocked the city in 2019, demanding that Hong Kong get rid of so-called cage homes or subdivided apartments by 2049.

Based Beijing.

The decision to build on the golf course also reflects how old business elites in Hong Kong are losing political sway as more staunchly pro-Beijing loyalists gain ground.

When Beijing’s top official for the city visited it in April, he did not meet the real estate developers association, which represents some of the richest families, raising questions over whether the interests of the wealthy clans are even a major concern to the top leadership.

Mr Zeman argued that shrinking the golf course hits at the heart of the way business is done in the city. “A lot of deals are done on the golf course all over the world for business people,” he said.

Fuck off back to your offices and make your deals there you fucking ghouls.

Absolutely astonishing that Iran and Saudi Arabia would be admitted side-by-side. Geopolitical arch-rivals joining the same economic bloc like this might signal a watershed moment for multipolarity.

A title I never expected to write, but there it is.

NYT updated their TOS to prevent scraping for AI training purposes and might be able to cripple OpenAI with their lawsuit.

It gets worse the more you scroll:

Reason I rank Taiwanese (many of whom hold dual US citizenship) less loyal than HKnese is because many HK residents flew Mainland in waves after experiencing Socialism terror, whereas Taiwanese experienced Mao counterpart’s authoritarianism, never truly understand the nature of living under CCP and harbor unrealistic ideas of CCP.

Malaysian/Indonesian Chinese are worse, because they lost their privilege and suffered “pogroms” from US supported democratization of natives, and harbor even less realistic ideas of CCP.

… Although I support @gerrytan on most of his initiatives, I have to disagree wrt 👇:

Canada may be snatching up Chinese talent that is restricted by US, in the long run it is in the best interest of US not to use corporate resources to train future competitors/enemies of US, and train up its own talent pool instead.

I just have seen too many examples to not learn this lesson.

Cherry on top of this shit sundae is that she's reply tweeting a white dude who wants to actively discriminate against Chinese in the US military.

Do other diaspora communities also have to deal with this shit? I want to say that the account posting this is a white LARPer but I've heard this shit out of HKers and Taiwanese irl.

Link if you want psychic damage.

China is the world's second biggest producer of silver and seventh largest producer of nickel. Bonus is that the biggest producer of nickel is Indonesia, which has a free trade agreement with China and the third biggest producer is Russia (lol, lmao).

Also love the example of Sorghum because China is producer #8 in the world and 4 of the top producers are global south countries that absolutely would not cut off trade with China. Also, lmao at the thought of the CPC just collapsing because people can't get one specific type of liquor. Imagine Russia trying to undermine America by targeting its strategic vodka supply.

All this tells me is that the West doesn't produce anything that is irreplaceable to China and that the think tankers and journalists are too delusional to recognize this.

Almost as disgusting as the memorial is the reporting in this video. Doesn't even mention Japanese atrocities until the last half and concludes with "and for these survivors, this memorial is long overdue".

This has got to be the most pathetic loss by a NATO force against foliage since Vietnam.

Just holy shit the lengths these Westoids will go to to avoid admitting that the Russian military has a basic level of competence, or that the Ukrainians fucked up by launching a counter attack they were not prepared for.

Chinese leaders see America as "decadent, hollow, and in rapid decline", and speeches such as Rubio's "the temper tantrums of the dying throes of a once great power".

Do you think the people in that room had even a moment of uncomfortable selfawareness, or did they just double down on copium?

I've hated China since I was a kid and learned about their fucking wretched, demented, overly self absorbed and outright fucking evil ""dog meat festival""

Since then I've only been further convinced that I could absolutely not care less if everyone in that whole fucking country burned to the ground. Like they had a suck our leaders dick parade day, and winnie the poohs float exploded, setting literally everyone on fire... I would relish that news. Theres a lot of diverse nature there, but the humans who comprise that fuckin cesspool can all go have an antifreeze chugging contest for all I fucking care.

Fuck them. Fucking commie, pussy, trashy, shallow, weak, retrded fuckin chnks. Fuck em. Fuck em all. They're shit.

A Chinese origin person born and raised anywhere but gestapoland... You're cool. Chinese people born and raised in china are trash more often than not though. Theyre a product of their culture, sure. So are traditional muslim men in the middle east...

I would still gladly execute any number of either one given the opportunity. A sideways bullshit culture is no excuse for their evil and selfishness. Bullets and bombs are the cure such a plague imo... trouble is they have to be used with discretion and for humanitarian reasons, not profit.

Unfortunately for everyone thats not the world we live in at the moment.

Edit because I go overboard when im drinking and not everyone gets my kind of humor. For the record though, no. I would not and do not want to personally commit a whole genocide.

Edit 2: because so many people are stupid enough to need the first edit. I was having fun and im not a professional comedian, obviously. Im not deleting it and im done explaining a vague and arguably bad joke over and over. Fuck off.
