I saw a post by Hu Xijin on weibo. He said in the 1989 protests, they never heard of Alysa Liu's father. Given how we have clear info on who all the ringleaders were, this puts into question how involved he in it. It could be just an easy excuse to get a green card into the US and to drum up American support.

Also it turns out you can in fact discuss 1989 on weibo. Just call it the 1980s American pro-democracy movement and people will get it.

The thing you have to realise about Americans and by extension the Anglos of the five eyes, is that being settler colonist societies built on genocide and land theft, they wish to bury their past but also want the benefits of having a long and storied glorious civilisation like China, but how can you do that if youre ashamed of your past and want to bury it? You fabricate a fake culture like the Zionist Jews are doing with Israel and you use an external bogeyman to try to cement a new identity. Zionist Jews use the holocaust, anglos like Steve Bannon want a Gotterdamerung or a racial holy war against China which they hope will band together all western and european peoples under a pan white new state entity.

Outside of the British isles, none of the five eyes are a real nation state per se like France or Sweden with their own native cultures and traditions, Australia is a fake country, effectively a colonial mining outpost where its white Anglo elites frequently serve the power structure of the Atlantic; now this fake culture that the Anglos are trying to create is based on nothing more than white supremacy and white privilege, so much of why the modern white nationalism today is so popular is because of a loss of privilege by a lot of white males today. Canada’s Carney striking out for Canada against Trumpist desire for a North American Anschluss is the outlier, I fear most Canadians outside of Quebec would, like Anglo Australians, not object to a political union with the U.S.

Origin of “Lunar New Year”.

View attachment 170110

This sent me down a rabbit hole regarding why this amendment was introduced in the first place. The Gazette publication helpfully points to the Legislative Council proceedings of April 10, 1968, in which the Secretary of Chinese Affairs (a Chinese dude btw) states:

"It is considered that the phrase “Lunar New Year” is more appropriate for formal usage than “Chinese New Year” ...

... The “Objects and Reasons” for the Bill were stated as follows:—
The Bill amends section 3 of the principal Ordinance. The object of the Bill is to change the references to the titles of certain public holidays so as to bring them more closely into accord with local usage."

So uhh yeah. Some official thought "Lunar New Year" was closer to the "local usage" and proposed a totally pointless change which for some reason is still being talked about 58 years later.

Knowing how Hong Kong works, some poor government clerk probably went through 20 different possible translations of 農曆年 for his boss, who decided to pick one that wasn't even accurate, wasting tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars, to change the name of a holiday that didn't even need changing in the first place. British colonial bureaucracy strikes again.

I'm willing to bet was in response to the 1967 Hong Kong uprisings. Itself was inspired by a successful uprising in Macau were locals protested, and promptly had their skulls cracked, against colonial oppression and corruption by using their Chinese heritage as a rallying cry. It worked so Hong Kong did the same with labor strikes.

Many of HK's labor organizers were leftists, so the British accused them of conspiring with China to justify violent crackdown. This was also the time when the British ramped up anti-China rhetoric, and why Britain flipped from banning all Chinese migrants to accepting disstants in the 1970s.

Tell me the Democrats still don't seriously believe boasting about being woke is a good idea. Like guys come on, Trump is practically handing y'all the midterms on a silver platter now.......
They're gonna run Kamala "Wine breakfast, wine lunch, wine girl-dinner, wine bedtime snack" Harris again vs Trump 3rd election term. The Dems are the political equivalent of that Catholic sect that whips themselves on the back every night as a form of self-punishment for simply existing and being born into original sin.

Meanwhile the republicans are like the crusades era knights templars who believe its their duty to genocide the world of non-white christians.

Duality of man.
