What did you expect? The chinese approach to freedom of speach is common. Only because he twittered abroad doesn´t change anything. The same thing happened to quit a few German Turks who visited Turkey. They were arrested because they didn´t see all Kurs as terrorists or because they "insulted" (that is critizised) the pasha President Erdogan.

This story is the case of a Chinese national mistakenly thinking he could get away with stuff in the US. However,it should be a warning to any thinking of traveling to ROC (or even Hong Kong, see https://www.latimes.com/world/asia/la-fg-china-hong-kong-billionaire-20170213-story.html ). If you post something they don't like today on public thread, if you later travel there you might have some time to research conditions in their prisons: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...us-on-chinas-treatment-of-political-prisoners

That’s too bad because Pooh is one of the founding fathers of Chinese philosophy..

The Winnie the Pooh story is quite funny, the student story not so much.
The Chinese state is rather rigid, almost like these posture girls but not as nice to look at.

This still happens in Swaziland, I think. The king is a polygamist, and there is a bare-breasted "reed dance" every year so he can pick new concubines. Apparently that evil democratic disease is spreading, however. He tried to jawbone about promiscuous sex because AIDS has hit hard there, and people weren't so amused and he got a lot of blowback.

Either the new military outfit is stealing inspired by TV science fiction, or . . . . . . . . . . could it be that Starfleet grows from Trump's new Space Force? That could explain it. :rolleyes:

Trump's Space Force logo boldly goes where Star Trek has gone before

Star Trek's George Takei responds to Donald Trump's unveiling of the Space Force logo by telling the US President, "we are expecting some royalties from this", alluding to the new insignia's similarity to that of the fictional Starfleet Command.
