These days they can update it with "don't waste your eggs, there are kids in America whose family can't even afford them"
Big talk from hillbilly white trash.
I read this in Kahn from King of the Hills voice.
"Hey, Minh! Mascra wearing Hillbilly is fondling his couch! You owe me a dollar! "
Does anyone believe he does not see American citizens as peasants, too?
Not just American citizens. The people he grew up with. His own community. He even wrote a book to exploit it. The guy is all sleaze.

Rising tensions with China? I was told that's what the Democrats were going to do if they won. 🤷♂️
Maga said that Biden was under CCP control.
Now looks who is under Kremlin control.
Projection.

"China lashes out"
Did they also "slam" home the fact that this is quite literally a world leader directly insulting the people of their closest rival? The bad news writing mixing with clown world politics is why all this seems so unreal to people, we are talking about a collapse of global world order but this reads like a TMZ piece.
Wonder how my friend who's a Chinese immigrant who supports Trump and wanted to move to Singapore if Kamala won, feels about this.
One of the most frustrating things about the current US administration, is I keep having to side with China. wtf is going on when we can no longer even get together to hate on an external trading partner? When the enemies are not at the gate but in the keep? When I have to agree with actions to punish my own country as well earned and expected?
Maybe the enemies aren't the ones we've been made to believe. Our homegrown capitalists export jobs to the "peasants" then they turn around and say to the jobless - look, the peasants took your job!
The enemies have never been the Chinese proletariat who toil and slave for scraps to feed the demands of a capitalist, consumerist society and always the greedy, totalitarian faux-socialists with a love for concentration camps that form the ruling party.

The enemy was never China. The current US administration is worse than the previous one, but it was never China imprisoning black people en-masse, keeping your healthcare unaffordable and your life expectancy below that of Cuba, keeping your tuition prices out of reach for the majority, not guaranteeing a retirement pension, and having the largest incarceration rate on Earth. It just took orange man for you to realize. Hopefully you won't turn back to anti-chinese sentiment and pro-US-imperialism when the cheeto is gone.

...I hate laughing at the downfall of my own country, but we definitely had it coming. I guess Chinese is the new lingua franca. Anyway, can someone help me understand why "Ma" in Mandarin means both weed and mom? How do I buy weed in Beijing?
Mandarin has 4 (technically 5) tones so "ma" could be any one of those 4 different pronunciations. Furthermore, there are many completely different words that have the same tone/pronunciation. You just learn through context (same way as you do with English homophones)
Mom in mandarin is 媽 (mā) whereas weed is 麻 (má). Colloquially you can also say 大麻 (dàmá) for weed.

At some point, The Onion is going to have to close up shop. Because the absurdity of reality goes way beyond any satire they could dream up.

I knew a girl from China and this is a huge insult to them. Being seen or labeled as rural is very embarrassing in their culture. She was ashamed because she grew up on her uncle's pig farm.
Farmers should be respected like other workers, they are feeding the world.

Don't take it personally, China. He feels the same way about the majority of Americans including his own family. He's got a chip on his shoulder bc he grew up among the peasant class, made it to the Ivy Leagues and has desperately been trying to claw his way into a social level he'll never be accepted to bc he wasn't born into it.
From his POV you're either a peasant, or you're an elitist. Unless you're part of the 1% of billionaires and generational wealth. Somehow that makes you an average Joe, and that's why you benefit the most from Vance's policies and "beliefs" (whatever he may need them to be in the moment).
Vance is not dumb, but he certainly acts like a useful idiot.

Fuck that racist asshat clown.
There are plenty of things wrong with China and they couldn't find one. These guys make tween student councils look advanced.
We can hardly judge China on its human rights abuses anymore. We are becoming the "shithole" country.
Becoming? Lol.
Always was.
Yeah US had atrocious human rights track records, they just didn't do it that much domestically.
Do the 1100 extrajudicial murders per year and the world's largest prison population not count for anything?

“ignorant and disrespectful.”
Well, that’s the synonym of MAGA so 🤷🏻♂️
They don't say thank you and they do not wear suits! Send them directly to Venezuela.
