CHYNA frothingfash

Feels like back in the 90’s people were a bit more chill and didn’t go into a genocidal lunatic rage at the mere mention of the country. Wild to think people used to get down with hong kong action movies.

    i remember so many articles as a kid breathlessly describing “the rise of china” as a sort of neutral/neutral-good thing.

    That’s because the Westoid capitalists were making huuuuge buckets of money in China either ! manufacturing for export or selling to the domestic market. Back then China wasn’t a credible military threat or economic competition, so those articles were the capitalist’s feeding call.
