gonzo Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 What’s happening there then? Troops are massing In football stadiums on the outskirts ready to steam in. Is Chris Pattern still in charge there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Just seen pictures of The Damned in Mongkok. Playing some Spirit of 77 festival. Now that could be interesting with everything else that's going on in HK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Chris Pattern still in charge there? Patten sailed out in 1997 with a Chinese promise not to integrate for 50 years. It was obvious then that China was in control and could do what it liked in the future, the only brake being how much attention China plays to world opinion - not much, really.

Chief of Hong Kong police is called Kic King....bizarre true fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted August 15, 2019 Members Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Only a matter of time before the Chinese army steam in and crush all opposition. Many will never be seen or heard of again. Sad fact but there isn't anything anyone can do about it.

If the Kongs get what they want then it's only a matter of time before the mainland lot get to hear about it. Maybe a strategic compromise can be reached. But I suspect a hammer will be used instead. The Chinese have been uncharacteristically patient by their standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very difficult, almost everything electronic you have will have some trace of Chinese manufacture in it. Food and clothing you can avoid Chinese influence, but generally you have to pay a premium for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a tricky one on how we can adequately demonstrate our displeasure. Maybe be a group action in a variety of locations? Drink 10 pints tomorrow night and then go and throw a brick through a Chinese chippy window🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boby Brno Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Just booked flights from Cape Town to Sydney via Hong Kong in Jan. should be sorted by then. I was in China 20 months ago. Stuck in a huge airport for 8 hours on our way to Melbourne. This report gives some idea of the huge growth in that vast country. https://www.airport-technology.com/news/china-new-airports-2035/ I think that works out at more than an airport a month being built for the next 15 years. (We can’t even build an extra runway without protests) 300 to 500 new coal fired power stations in the next 20 years? https://unearthed.greenpeace.org/2019/03/28/china-new-coal-plants-2030-climate/amp/ We can’t even extract gas from the ground without protests. In ten years time, we’ll being holidaying in Blackpool & Morecambe while the Chinese take over Benidorm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Its certainly a booming country, and they don't seem to give a shit about pollution, at some point, they'll be the dominant world super power, they already own vast swathes of land in Africa so they can plunder those resources, they also "own" over $1,000,000,000,000 of US debt. They'll own everything one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus saw an article yesterday about dog festivals in China and Korea. They steal and round up dogs, cage and torture them, then skin them alive prior to eating. They reckon such treatment improves the meat. Just fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no problem at all with them eating dog (and I suspect I may have done once or twice, unknowingly), but I'm not keen on them blow torching them whilst they're still alive, which they apparently do. They do get up to some odd stuff though, I've had to go into the back of a restaurant in the past, and select which particular chicken I want to eat, which is bizarre when there are 6 or 7 of them still running around, and you then select, and they lop it's head off right in front of you.
