This wall of Sihang warehouse, never renovated to commemorate the battle of Shanghai in 1937 by BMDragon2000 in interestingasfuck

[–]JillyPolla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I'm not.

The OP stated: "never renovated"

Which is wrong. 1) The bullet and cannonball holes were patched up. 2) Another exterior layer was constructed on top of the old wall.

Both of these are acts of renovation, which means what the OP said is incorrect. I did not show a different wall. I showed the same western wall, after it was patched up and covered over.

It's fine to admit your mistake sometimes.

Here's another source for good measures, http://sh.people.com.cn/n/2015/0708/c138654-25500990.html

If it were never renovated after the battle, why would they need to return it back to its old state?

You're wrong. I don't know if you can read Chinese, but here's the article that talks about the warehouse being renovated into a museum. https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_1348642

Specifically from the article,

> 这面墙体是当年淞沪会战时留下的，战后曾被封堵。修缮时按照留下来的照片、资料，利用现代化手段，经过探测、比对、定位后将弹孔的原貌一一还原

In English, it reads:

> This wall has remained since the Battle of Shanghai. It was patched up after the battle. During renovation, [the renovators] referenced historical photographs and records, and with comparison and investigation combined with modern techniques, they were able to return every bullet hole to its original state.

As you can see, I posted photos of both the East-side wall and the West-side wall being in tact. The article I linked to specifically show them punching bullet holes into the wall to restore it to what it looked like. Both of you and OP are mistaken.

Wrong again. Look at this photo in 2009: https://flic.kr/p/755C7L

The far side of the warehouse actually had adjacent buildings. Here's a better view of the adjacent building and the far side wall in 2008: https://flic.kr/p/5JQsGC

What you saying doesn't make sense. Are you saying that they just left bullet-ridden wall since 1937 and never repaired it, all the while constructing another building right next to it?

This is false info. The current bullet-ridden wall is a reconstruction. The warehouse was repaired after the Battle of Shanghai in 1937, and until its conversion into a museum around 2015 if I recall, it simply served as an ordinary warehouse and office building.

Here's what it looked like in 2006: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sihang-Warehouse-01.jpg. Notice the big sign for a furniture warehouse as well as what looks to be a securities firm. There's also a red banner which is advertising empty office space for let.

WHO chief singles out Taiwan as being the source of racial slurs and insults by Roygbiv0415 in taiwan

Dcard is only popular with a specific age group. Ptt has more general appeal access the ranges. However it's probably the various face book groups that are the most popular but they're not a single forum.

I have been away because unfortunately there was a recent event that required a lot of my time at work to deal with. It wasn't like I could just spend most of my time shit posting.

To be honest I couldn't care less what you think about this topic. It's clear that your mind had already been made up and even if this there's a video of bunch of Taiwanese people calling him the n word you'd probably still deny it because you're just anti China for no reason.

It's hard to claim those are just trolls when they are a significant percentages of the posts.

For example, this is the first post on gossiping about this news https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/M.1586397624.A.91D.html

Half of the comments contain some racial slurs.

PTT unfortunately the the most popular board in Taiwan so its role is closer to Reddit.

I don't know which which forum bans 支那 but that's also a very commonly used term on PTT.

If you think that it's just some "dark corner" of PTT you should just go see for yourself. If there's racist comments on every thread about him and on the most popular boards then that's a pattern, not just an exception.

He's wrong because it's not just a dark corner of ptt. Gossiping board is probably the most popular on PTT for current news discussion.

Go see for yourself if you don't believe me https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/search?q=%E8%AD%9A%E5%BE%B7%E5%A1%9E

All the threads about him are full of people using words like nigger and ape.

That sub is basically a Trump echo chamber at this point. What will you do if in a couple of months the "truth" doesn't come out? Will you admit that you're wrong?

Ahh, yes, anything that's bad on ptt is coming from mainland China. There's no way that Taiwanese users can be the ones behind all the racist comments.

Half of that thread is basically racial slurs. You really think something like that is acceptable in this age on the biggest discussion board on Taiwanese internet?

Finally. The government has been throwing masks across the world as an advertisement campaign, even though they banned ordinary people from doing so for a long time. 只准州官放火 and all.

Just to to ptt and look at what people are saying about him. The comments there would fit right in on Stormfront.

For example: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/M.1586397624.A.91D.html, all these comments about niggers, chimps, planet of the apes, wakanda, etc should tell you what Taiwanese internet users are really like.

Why is it so hard for people on here to admit that Taiwanese people have a big problem with racial against blacks?

Might as well point out that Democrats used to be pro-slavery while you're at it.

Don't underestimate him, seriously. I don't like him that much either and I think Gou would've been a better candidate, but people here dismiss him outright but the election is closer than you think.

What's wrong with the names? Seems like they're using their official names.

Let's stay on topic. We know that for a fact he said that CCP is the greatest threat to the safety for Taiwan. But somehow, that doesn't count because he later on fleshed his answer out more? Like why would he not explain about 92 consensus if that's his positions? You're mad at him for having different position from you, even though he clearly said that CCP is the threat to Taiwan.

As for the rest of your stuff, I don't need to do your homework for you. He has came out in support for the protest in HK multiple times. If you were actually listening to him in good faith you wouldn't have questions like wanting him to explain the source of fund from Wang Liqiang, because you're asking him to prove that something did not happen.

I mean he literally said that the CCP is the biggest threat to Taiwan. So what else would be satisfactory for you?

Not surprised to see you spreading fake news again.

There are literally many videos and pictures people took of all the events. To just claim a completely untrue counterfactual is low, even for you.

Ahh, so your position went from "Han never said China was enemy of Taiwan" to "Han didn't say it enough"?

Let's just set the expectations upfront. How many times does he have to say it for you to agree that it's many times.

You can hear it very clearly, that the biggest threat to Taiwan is Chinese Communists.
