Stick your own picture up see how pretty you are yourself ?
loads of people turned up to protest trump in the uk recently. um yea… we got slightly worse problems than trump right now. it just goes to show that deflection techniques work, the govt didn’t give a crap about the trump protesters. but the handful who turned up to protest xi jin ping got locked up.
the U.S. law actually states (just googled it) that non-citizens canNOT vote in federal and state elections.
Given that law, however, some municipal and board elections in a few areas (like San Fran, Chicago) allow so-called “illegals” to vote.
That’s what I meant…I was not talking about small organizations who can do what they want.
If SF cupcakes wants to have anyone vote that’s fine…but you can’t vote in most cases where it really matters.
Look out China is out to get ya
When is the next Taiwan pro independence protest?
Taiwan is just flat out getting playground bullied. I kinda feel sorry for them.
It’s bad.
Japan Airlines again responds differently. Their Taiwan site has made a change—in JAL’s case by listing cities in China, Korea, and Taiwan all under the category “East Asia”:

Every two weeks they get a scheduled Saturday avo outside 101. About 13 people.
No Taiwanese march for independence anymore, they’re too busy applying for jobs across the straits.
However, I would very much like to take part in a Fuck China march. I think it could be on the cards.
very true
i thought you were not supposed to give in to terrorist demands? this is getting ridiculous. they have even tried to ruin the ‘gay games’ thing. china, a country that doesn’t support gays at all. if they can’t stand up to that then what do they even stand for?
A (canned) reply to my letter of disappointment to Cathay Pacific:
26/07/2018
Dear Mr XXXX
Thank you for contacting us.
I understand you were not happy with the content on the website and would like to apologise for letting you down.
Please allow me to explain our position, in April the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) issued letters to all foreign airlines requesting an audit of websites to ensure that references to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are appropriate. It is a requirement that airlines should not put China, Hong Kong and Taiwan side by side or on equal footing. Taiwan should be called “China Taiwan” or “China Taiwan region”. I hope for your understanding in this regards.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. We do value your comment and support as a . . . . member of our Marco Polo Club.
Yours sincerely

Pretty annoying, but honestly, what could they say? Yes, we kissed up to China because we want their business and, well, fuck how everybody else feels about it.
There is only one China.
Republic of China.
This would have been more honest.

This is why it sucks to work in customer relations…especially for an airline.
Meanwhile, some people are happy about these recent changes.
I’m sure this will help wonders with the upcoming elections.
EDIT: Disregard as this is apparently not an official account.

jesus, that’s fucked up. “Only splittists see ‘Taiwan’ as our nation’s name.”
that is madness
