China‘s economy isn’t capitalism. They are their own breed of socialism.
Refers to people from Hong Kong. Generally used in the South East Asean regions I believe. And I believe it is not a polite term in the general sense.
Should not be an issue for Apple. Apple can easily find another supplier.
Is this XI, or just a Winnie the Pooh fan?Correct.
“Americans Don’t Know How Capitalist China Is”
Weijian Shan was born in China and had his life upended by the Cultural Revolution. Educated in the United States, he worked for the World Bank and J.P. Morgan and taught at the Wharton School. Today he is the CEO of PAG, a $40 billion private equity firm based in Hong Kong. In this interview he...hbr.org
It's general knowledge nowadays.
It's a bit alarming that the people voting for representatives who ultimately make policies on China know so little about modern China and its history.
This is a perfect example of an appeasement: "Please like us, we are just as much of a rotten capitalist as you are."Correct.

The fun part is that you really think it is a good thing, right?
There is a reason why Bernie Sanders re-introduced and legitimized the word "socialism" in the US. "I am once again asking."
The game is much more complex than you seem to realize. Lenin was right when he said: "Study, study and study."
It`s no different then honkies calling blacks haakyahn or whites gwailo`s. Chinese have thin skin when it comes back at them.
I believe the term "gwailo" (which is also convey a negative connotation) largely stems from Hong Konger being colonised and "oppressed" during the British occupation of Hong Kong.
Doubt, chinese are rather xenophobic by a large majority, you can see that clearly in SG as well, hot topic there.
I believe that was also caused by the colonisation of South East Asia by the West, tho. mainly British.
Historically China is a closed country, both culturally and economically. Chinese from South East Asia mostly emigrated from South China during late 19th century, so the culture of disliking foreigners mainly stems from then, where they see foreigner invading China, e.g. losing Hong Kong to the British and Macau to the Portugese, and the introduction of opium into China etc.
I do see that younger generations of Chinese descendent, whether in China or South East Asia losing the "hatred" of foreigners tho. So I would say it is a generational thing.
Perhaps but the biggest caviat there is chinese stance on indians in SG and to a degree paki`s in HK.
But then again no race is free of bias, i live in europe now it`s not perfect but i never really feel discriminated beside during covid period but those were mainly turks and marrocs being hateful but they have a bad reputation in europe.
