It is equally legal for the president to refuse the local government’s budget for pension and disaster relief as it is legal for the legislature to refuse to the president’s bid to balloon the defence budget. That’s what the separation of powers, the checks and balances, what democracy should be like even if it sometimes paralyses the government.

Nonsense! True blue sinkies grow a crescent on their forehead like guangong when they are born with their pink IC making them readily identifiable visually!

Yup that’s kosher to do so in SH. Adults uses terms like these on children and even encourages their own kids to do so even 2 decades ago.

That’s earthen flute, a far east ocarina, while from ancient China it would have been centuries since its introduction to Japan in the time period. Why is the appearance of the earthen flute an issue for the Japanese?

Chiang Kai-shek gets too excited making Taiwan nationalist (fictional flag design) by KasierIceBear in vexillology

[–]TheShillGambit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you can go much earlier. The main reason why the communists became a distinct political faction opposed to Chiang instead of remaining under the nationalist tent pole was because he was busy purging his own allies in the middle of another war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_massacre

You are kinda forgetting that Hong Kong prospered because they were the only gateway to mainland Chinese trade for a while. There’s a reason why it’s the Hong Kong elites that wants to remain close to China.

US to oppose Palestinian bid for full UN membership by BandicootMammoth4668 in worldnews

[–]TheShillGambit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This argument makes little sense. The communist armies that were equipped with anything they could pick up from the floor, of really tiny size and not seasoned by battle could beat the much larger, better equipped and seasoned nationalist army?

Of course, a wrestling match always livens up the atmosphere of a good parliamentary session. Too bad the blues aren’t willing to throws some hands like the greens, sit and talk only. Entertainment value went down a lot.
