I'm a Brit living in China, I'm a keen photographer and musician, and like to read, travel, explore, try different things and foods, whatever. I come here mainly for the photos.

There are once prosperous areas in north east England which even now look like desolate bomb sites, thanks to her. As a Middlesborough foundry manager once said to me, "there be free drinks in our club when that b*tch passes."

Not really China; America thought they could dominate it via Chang Kai Shek, until Mao Zedong came in and spoiled their fun. The US therefore had an ulterior motive. And Russia liberated North China. How did America save Russia?

Yes. I was curious as to why, after all, the building is still standing.

Her Chinese would have to be a lot more fluent than her English for her to do that.

You might be interested to read Mark Twain's "To the Person Sitting in Darkness," published over 100 years ago. America's current behaviour isn't a new thing, by any means. Twain states that they learnt it from the British, and as a Brit, I'd say he's right.

It's just the Daily Heil doing what it does best, printing unsubstantiated inflammatory nonsense.

Both of the above, in my view.

Yes; he was funded by Engels, who was appalled at the horrendous working conditions in the British sweat shops during the so-called industrial revolution. It was written with the well being of the workers in mind, but in the hands of the powerful, it became yet another tool of oppression.

And here's me, after 50 odd years of studying Eastern European politics, blown away by his superior perspicacity. Those data centres must have blown themselves up, either that or it was migrants. Damn Mexicans get everywhere.

It's "kinda weak" of him attacking the person making the post, rather than submitting a reasoned argument of his own in response to the post itself. Quoting his sources, of course.

They can't chase the migrants because of eating all the pizzas they deliver.
