We Don't Have to Trade With China

Trading with it was supposed to make China a democratic country.

Does it look democratic to you?:

The Philippines will continue maritime exercises inside its 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the South China Sea, the country's defence minister said on Sunday, despite a call by China to stop actions that it said could escalate disputes.

A social media post from an account linked to the Chinese Communist Party has sparked controversy for appearing to mock India over its coronavirus crisis.

The post on Chinese site Weibo showed an image of a rocket launch in China alongside a photo of the bodies of Covid victims being cremated in India.

Text with it read: "Lighting a fire in China VS lighting a fire in India."

The post, which appeared on Saturday afternoon, has since been deleted.

 

Stay classy, melamine-eaters

If you still act as though you are from Hong Kong, then you are not Canadian:

A group of Canadian Hong Kongers are encouraging Canadians with Hong Kong heritage to identify themselves as Hongkonger in the 2021 census in an effort to strengthen the community’s diaspora.

With Canada’s 23rd census happening on May 3, a campaign called #IAmHongKonger is aiming to stand up for their own identity.

“We want to show the world that this (Hong Konger) identity exists,” said Maya Lee, a spokesperson for the #IAmHongKonger campaign. “We speak Cantonese, have our own culture and our lived experience as Hongkongers is very unique.”

 

 One cannot serve two masters.
