that's reasonable, the Chinese government should demand that any technology the individual corps acquire from the decadent capitalists should become public domain

wow what a shame if someone did to monsanto what they've done to farmers all over america :rip:

probably a bad example from a moral and societal benefit standpoint, but in my defense it stuck in my head as a funny story because the farmer caught them poking around his field and they were like "yes, we are tourists, we are very impressed with American agriculture and we wanted to experience standing in such a nice crop field as this"

Kim Jong-Un is not a dictator, he is the elected Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, which is democratically elected by the Korean people. He works on behalf of the masses of working people, who are masters of North Korean society, ensuring their freedom from oppression or exploitation.

Not only does North Korea have elections, it's traditional for the Chairman to also run for a spot in the federal legislature.

As with other North Korean elections, there is only one candidate on the ballot for each slot, but voters can vote "no" by crossing out the name on a non-secret ballot. Since the Party is so conscientious and thoughtful about who it chooses for the positions, yes votes are extremely close to unanimous, even if it's not in the Chairman's district.

i swear i read something at one point where a dude who had fallen out of favor with the leadership got voted down in the course of his increasingly bad time, but maybe I'm confusing that with something in another country

i guess rhinos aren't hunted after all and this is just a stupid conversation to have entirely

"The US imports dramatically more hunting trophies from endangered animals" definitely passes the smell test for me, but genuine actual question: does this include an estimate of black market imports?

Fake edit: no, it doesn't seem to. In fact, one of the report's arguments is that bans on importing hunting trophies appears to significantly reduce the killing of banned animals even though they make no actual estimate as to black market trading.

Wayward Chinatown otter making a meal of Sun Yat-Sen koi


Karin Larsen · CBC News · Posted: Nov 20, 2018 9:30 AM PT | Last Updated: an hour ago

A wayward otter has moved into the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver and is making a meal of the attraction's valuable koi fish.

The animal, identified as a river otter, was first spotted Saturday in a pond shared by the garden and the adjacent public park. Staff say it has eaten at least five of the adult koi.

The garden is working with the Vancouver Park Board Tuesday morning to capture and relocate the otter, possibly to Stanley Park.

It's not known where the otter came from or how it found its way to the walled-in garden, although Burrard Inlet to the north and False Creek to the south are both less than one kilometre way.

The public is being asked not to feed the otter.

capitalist otter invades communist fish community and devours its inhabitants for personal gain, and/or communist otter enters capitalist fish community and begins executing elites and kulaks, eventually leading to more equitable fish society in which communist otter eats any fish that get too fat by disproportionately consuming pond resources

the best thing about this thread is that you can choose the irony level

it’s kinda close to r/sino or r/aznidentity but you can never tell who is shitposting and who is serious. I am pretty sure everyone is serious posting which is what makes it so unbelievably special and easily the best china thread. It’s far and away the most authentic China thread on the forums. Just enjoy it. It so good

I am sometimes shitposting and sometimes seriousposting here, and I expect that sometimes I'm going to lose track of which.
