quote:

While it looks dangerous, daoliao, which translates as“knife massage” or “knife therapy”, is believed to have physical and emotional healing powers and is a form of Chinese medicine that is thought to be more than 2,000 years old. Practitioners say it was first carried out by monks in ancient China. It spread to Japan in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago and to Taiwan following the Chinese Civil War in the 1940s.

While knife massage is hard to find today in China and Japan, it has undergone a resurgence in Taiwan in recent years as people have sought it out to deal with the stresses of modern life.

The Ancient Art of Knife Massage Dao Liao I-Jing Education Center in Taipei has trained practitioners for almost four decades. They have 36 branches in Taiwan, 15 of which have opened in the past five years. They have also taught people from around the world, from Japan to Hong Kong, France to Canada.

Today, people seek out the therapists’ knives to help relieve physical ailments, improve sleep quality and deal with the pain of being dumped.

So there's a semi religious/cultural thing where you wave a stupidly dangerous thing around (nunchuku with blades) and make it release todins or sth from your back.

Now, I've seen it irl more than once. And the injuries are life changing.

The thing that bothers me, is that as soon as a hard+core injury happens, like a split of flesh more than 8" long happens, a bunch of crowd gets involved and Ignore the solemn and serious commit required for the whatever God demanded.

You attended a show to see a clown gently caress himself up. Stand your ground is my point.

The CCP does not learn things.

In fact if I were a betting man I would put a lot of chips on the CCP rushing out a vaccine for Covid 19 ASAP so that they can be "first" only for it to be discovered shortly after that the vaccine does little to nothing. It looks like they're headed that way if the CanSino results are any indication

It was more directed at WHO. They got sandbagged and lied to back then, why did they think kissing rear end again would work. WHO is a matter of fact neutral medical organization unequipped to play politics. The moment they stopped being neutral it shredded their credibility and the dirty laundry started getting aired.

I would be extremely wary if not outright refuse any Chinese vaccine. Sure they don't have the same ethical limitation to run tests, but the same lack of ethics means lying about the data is assured. You can't even trust them with basic medical supplies.

Actually the Chinese don't have enough confirmed patient inside China to do phase 3 testing of the vaccine, so they are looking to work with another country to do the phase 3. I think they were testing 4 different vaccines so I don't know if the news I heard was for one of them.

I wouldn't trust any early vaccine personally. I am trying to lost 15 pounds before the lock down is over and build up my immure system. My wife is too lazy to do any exercise, so we will just get her a life insurance.

Yeah, there was some genuine loosening up in the late 90s and early 2000s. A lot of people point to 2008 as when that ended, the nationalism ramped into high gear, and then the regression went full speed once Xi gained power.

Okay

Hands up, my bad, that was defined a post which didn't meet the SA sobreity metrics.

The point I was incoherently making was as follows.

I have had the dubious pleasure if attending 'religious' festivals where self-harm is the agenda.

Typically a local politician is sponsoring the event in support of the local community shrine worship place (I'm not getting into that here)

At the events someone is tasked with hurting themself in a significant way. Chained tools with spikes and blades seem to be the choice.

Much swinging if said tool, and skin opening happens. As the volunteer enters the 'trance' stage, the very obvious life-changing injury is readily apparent.

My point is, when that (seemingly inevitable) result occurs there is a great deal of crowd participation, and revulsion.

I find that unusual.

I have it in the same space as saying 'awww th bull died, after having paid for a ticket to see exactly that".

I'm not an ethicist, I couldn't comment.

It's immaterial because if this were China nobody would even know about the police brutality that incited all this because any evidence of it would have been scrubbed from the internet.
