@liztai @abhijith I just watched this yesterday, TLDR: not taking a side between the US & China/Russia is helping global south countries negotiate the best outcomes for ourselves.

@liztai
Haha Johnny Harris is only the *relatively* balanced of the bunch but he’s been known to talk cock about stuff he doesn’t know about. When I watched one of his videos about China, I could spot so many issues as a casual observer (like mistaking the Yangtze River for the Yellow River, and for crediting the CCP too much for China’s expansionist attitude while ignoring that the Kuomintang government before that claimed even more territory including the current Mongolia lol.)
@abhijith

@cendawanita I was the resident not-so-pro China columnist in Sin Chew back then but it was also me who defended China tourists in an article haha. Well, we humans have complicated views.

@dansup @pixelfed My phone switches automatically between light and dark mode depending on the time of the day, so it’ll be nice if the app theme follows the system default.

@ubi
Probably some “evil western forces created a bunch of colonial political entities out of South China Seas territories to hurt China” thing lol
@cendawanita @irfan @hishgraphics @Munkao

@liztai Actually I should do that in office. I’m already a notoriously loud typist and a mechanical keyboard will probably finally convince my bosses and everyone else to let me work from home.

@thomasfuchs Now I’m 10 times more interested in seeing those alt texts than the boobs themselves

Ok! We somehow didn’t manage to take a photo but glad to meet @atomicpoet @cendawanita and @ubi in real life. Too bad that there isn’t more time!
