The biggest demographic is Asian (Filipino, Korean, Japanese and Chinese) - descendants of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants the USA brought in to swamp the local people (now 10%).

@DavidWilcox_DOS @nise_yoshimi Good point David. Taiwan’s economic miracle began when it was a tiny military dictatorship under martial law propped up by US cash and weapons. If only stoopid China had thought of that! 🤪😜🤡

@fawfulfan @Ryan_Weller Can you give us an actual example of a lower tier city that's served by a high-speed line, and an actual example of a journey from that city that the majority of the residents can't afford? Just one will do.

@GillianMar2021 Clearly, as with Liz Lloyd's leaking of a Salmond complainant's name to Geoff Aberdein in March 2018, a thorough investigation must follow: Sturgeon should ask Committee members if they leaked the information, and when they say "No" the matter should be considered closed.

👍video. As for "patriots only" - having lived in the UK under Tony Blair I know exactly what it means to have your country run by a bought and paid for American stooge. The Chinese have a duty to make sure no part of their territory ever comes under the control of such people.

Hong Kong is getting very negative press for the recent so-called "patriots only" election. But you can't begin to understand our community unless you know TWO FACTS that provide essential context. Unfortunately, they are being actively hidden.

@NairnMcD @MonicaLennon7 I agree. Let's hear it for the defence witnesses who stood up against the #metoo mob in court and gave their evidence without the protection of anonymity. Every time some wankstain starts bleating on about the poor "victims" (s)he's effectively calling them liars.

@JCadistaliberal @thinking_panda @ZihoParkEcon @ZChukieZ Ok. Here's the deal. You've never set foot in China and you don't know any Chinese people. You epitomise Western attitudes to China - an enormous bag of arrogance, jam-packed with ignorance, tied at the neck with a string of prejudice. A puffed-up know-nothing bladder of fartgas.

PROOF that Ukrainians were calling for the ethnic cleansing of Donbas before this conflict. This video is from Hromadske, a major Ukrainian media source discussing how 1.5M in Donbass are "superfluous," & "simply must be killed."

@Magnus_Fiskesjo Any China-lovers out there? Please join me as an Wumao. Put your back to it and you ought to be able to write and document as many as 30 tweets an hour, for 15 yuan. A 24-hour stint without wasting time on things like toilet breaks or eating will earn you 360 yuan.

@AlanRMacLeod "a major humanitarian improvement... the prospect of lives saved and livelihoods enabled..." Afghanistan after 20 years of "major humanitarian improvement": - 240,000 deaths - 100,000 bombs dropped - Country laid waste - Handed back to the guys who were in charge when it started
