Mag6240 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) My neighbors wife is from China, been living in the states for about 25 years now. She says she will NEVER EVER go back. It is interesting listening to her on current events from time to time. Some of the things she has heard from family and friends who are still there would make your skin crawl.

Our Moron in charge up here admires China, and he's not afraid to say it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America will always have a soft spot for the communists to our north. Such a harmless collection of souls.

Any country that attracts the ire of the US and or west always has a massive exodus. And also authoritarian countries are not ideal places to live unless you are part of the ruling class. China is authoritarian and we should have checked that a long time ago before we became so dependent on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of my global banking customers have closed offices in HKG after seeing the heavy hand Xi has been applying there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last was Xi’s consolidation of power and the use of bizarre lockdowns to show his power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
