Uhh, do Disney!
My most hated meme people use right now is: “We’ve had the worst storms/rains/drought/fires of the century every year, that’s just how it is.”
Bitch if it’s the worst of the century every year that means it’s getting worse every year! There’s no status quo in this!
So North Korea and Vietnam do count for China, right?
Liberating Germany from Nazi rule, the horror!
If you count the Allied victory as the invasion & occupation of Germany, you must count the liberation of Tibet as an invasion and occupation.
You can be opposed to the theocratic bullshit that is the Dalai Lama and still acknowledge that China invaded & occupied Tibet.
Especially if you count the Allies winning WWII as the invasion & occupation of Germany in the upper map.

Did not anticipate how hard “We’re going on an adventure” would hit me with feelings of horror after reading “Children of Ruin”. Good work Tchaikovsky. Holy shit that mix of possession and zombie-horror with perfectly natural explanations in a hard scifi scenario really did a job on me, even years after finishing the book.
Man, that’s some good memories.
Yazinda, Durin, Arva von Harben, Tjalf, Melina and Caldrin, I miss you guys.
China unfortunately is such an oppressive and bleak place that nobody wants to go there unless they have to or if they’re doing so accidentally by not realizing what happened to Hong Kong.
That’s counterfactual and undermines your argument, the amount of tourists from Japan, the US and EU alone is immense and I fear most of them know, but don’t give a shit about Hong Kong (though they really, really should).
It’sa me! Mussolini!

That has actually been tested!
Big cats notice the laserpointer but they don’t really chase it. Most likely because they don’t hunt insects and small rodents.
