You were claiming that tankies are imaginary, yet they can be seen right here in this thread. Plenty more in CSPAM.

That seems to be a problem with the UK proposal. It says BNO passport holders right? Am I understanding correctly that the cutoff is for a birth date of 1997 or later? The protesters are young. That may leave a majority of them ineligible.

The US is considering a Safe Harbor bill for activists in danger.

Australia, Germany, and Taiwan seem like they're deciding what to do right now. They're all willing to review asylum applications from Hong Kong like any other country but they may not implement a special process for it.

Japan doesn't seem interested in giving refuge to the actual protesters but they want to absorb Hong Kong's financial professionals.

Someone mentioned it included their children too, which I guess would include a lot of people born post 97

You should ask the NZ government offer more refugee status to HK young radical students who are too poor to immigrate out of HK, not some unrealistic trade "sanction" a tiny country like NZ is in no position to execute. I don't remember ever reading NZ's name in any of the "Five Eyes countries trying to sanction China" news.

I don't see New Zealand putting trade sanctions in place, China buys 29% of our exports.

I have this weird nostalgia for a place I never got to visit and only saw through grainy youtube videos. I'm talking Hong Kong in the 1990s: red post boxes, John Woo movies, 747s making a tight turn to land at Kai Tak, pirate vcds everywhere, playstation modchips, the union jack. Ah well it's all gone now.

Prime Chow Yun Fat era and slightly later Prime Stephen Chow era were tits. Every HKer was hustling.

I still can quote most Stephen Chow movies like white nerds quoting Mighty Python.

Netflix HK added most of Stephen Chow's early films recently and they're just so good. poo poo like 情聖 (Magnificent Scoundrels) and the one where he beats Jimmy White at snooker. The Tang Bohu film, 唐伯虎點秋香, is one of the very best too. So much better than his later output.

Taiwanese Netflix also has a bunch of stuff, including alot of 80s Chow Yun Fat. If we're giving recommendations out, A Better Tomorrow, I feel, is better than Hard Boiled, and on par with The Killer.

I tried watching Taipei Story this morning on Criterion but my NordVPN was making GBS threads on me. I blame Lowtax.

Reading these nostalgia posts makes me want to re-watch Full Contact. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I am going to have to use a spyware filled Chinese pirate site or buy a DVD. The true 90's experience!

I don't remember ever reading NZ's name in any of the "Five Eyes countries trying to sanction China" news.

The sanctions is only one of three requests. With our closed borders 2# is already hard. 3# is a "freebie".

Australia is in an undeclared trade war with China as well as a cyber war. They have tariffed barley 75% because they took the lead for simply asking to make an investigation into the virus. US is triggering specific Hong Kong sanctions and related to the Uighurs. EU has made dénouements as have Japan and Canada. UK has the BNO as aggravatingly flawed as it maybe is the largest contribution thus far.

It's not that nothing is happening, it's that there is a clear lack of leadership that the US normally takes because you know, Bunker Bitch, virus or not. It's uncoordinated. Hence why I have this line

quote:

There is no better time to end CCP belligerence. The world is ready. We can be the people that unites those efforts.

The thing is we are invariably going to "Hurt Chinese feelings" because No Why. With the pandemic our economies is almost decoupled. National is obviously feeling the pressure as they keep trying to open the borders with China in mind. Labour is already aware having specifically rebuked National on this.

The letter isn't so much a list of things I want as much as it is a set of policy options they no doubt are already considering. Any one of those would be great, the hidden 4# option is what I really want. Jacinda's leadership is bullet proof, more powerful than any direct action we can take. People overseas adore her. Certain things are going to happen, many things from many countries, what isn't happening is leadership.

I wish people stick with more descriptive term such as "Wumao" to refer to "CCP fans" instead of over used and meaningless word "tankie". You are grouping modern "Communism for 4chan white people" and wumao into the same word.

Story wise maybe, but as far as action goes, Hard Boiled will remain, much like Taiwan, #1.

In some ways, part of me is glad I won't get to visit HK, since I know deep down I'd be dissappointed if it wasn't like the 80/90s movies.

It's not, but West Taiwan is legalist, and communism is but a worse, western version of legalism.
