Chinese shenanigans

[Mike Oxlong]

I knew I should have put tape over the webcam.

[matsuki]

Oh dear.

What is "family row?"

It is when Mommy throws Daddy's maple syrup on the floor and slashes his waterbed.

Ok...but is that correct grammar? Shouldn't it be "Because of a family row" or do I really lack a handle on Brit English?

Also, China keeps Darwin busy...very busy.

Yes, there should be an article in that sentence but remember that English is not his first language.

[matsuki]

Understood, wasn't a dig at him, just saying that's partially what confused me.

Just out of curiousity, does the following quote work for you?

"Kyoko Iwasaki famously became an overnight media darling in Japan after the pint-sized breaststroker won gold at the 1992 Barcelona Games six days after her 14th birthday."

China Likely to Become Aircraft Carrier Superpower Soon

It seems that China is ready to launch its first indigenous aircraft carrier (CV), the Type 001A, by the end of the year. As a result, China, which operates a rehabilitated ex-Soviet aircraft carrier, is expected to become a full-fledged aircraft carrier operating country soon. Furthermore, it’s certain that the country will continue to bring more domestic aircraft carriers into service to turn itself into an aircraft carrier superpower.

Such observation is not an exaggeration considering the recent images and videos of the Type 001A, which shows that it is almost complete in outward appearance. In fact, some of the state-owned media outlets claimed Sunday that the 001A is at the final stage of construction, added that the era of domestic aircraft carrier is here.

It is ungrammatical but adequate powerpoint bullet-point English.

And in fact will appear, with added bonus factual errors, in almost every subheading in the Daily Mail.

FFS a jumpdeck again... it's like the shortbus version of the naval aviation world...

It's even worse if you read the article....who the fuck is this breast stroking (now obasan-aged) Kyoko Iwasaki? I thought this article was about Rikako Ikee? It's like they just cut and pasted that shit in the middle of the article to up the word count.

The fact that China is constructing a domestic aircraft carrier is not a surprise. In a news conference at the end of last year, China’s defense ministry spokesperson Yang Yujun announced that its navy is building China’s second, but the first indigenously-built aircraft carrier in Dalian shipyard. Furthermore, it has been also revealed in mid-June that the installation of the ship’s ski jump, one of the major parts, has begun.

However, it’s a quite different story, considering the fact that the Type 001A is China’s first domestically built carrier. For instance, the United States, who once looked down on China’s technology before, is now keeping an eye on the carrier’s construction process.

Moreover, China’s second locally designed and built aircraft carrier is under construction in secret in a shipyard near Shanghai. The Chinese Navy’s plan of deploying 6 aircraft carriers including 2 nuclear-powered ones by 2025 is not an empty boast.

At present, the Chin’s military strength falls far behind those of the United States, its potential enemy. However, the gap will be narrowed down significantly if China’s indigenous aircraft carriers begin to enter service. This is why the U.S. is keeping an eye on China’s recent action.

SJ - tell me you posted that for double the relevance?

A "made in China" aircraft carrier threat to the US and a full out assault on Engrish 101?

furthermore, moreover, however, for instance, and "The Chin's" for good measure??

Yes. And the answer to Matuski's question is also, yes.

Anyways, BOT: those who fear Chinese domination need only look to this to rest their worried minds.
Big Cat Park
Signs saying DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE
Mommy says something little Xiaopo chan doesn't Like.
Little Xiapo chan gets, like, totally, like, PO'ed, like.
Now Little Xiapo chan is dinner.

Fearsome takedown, eh. Feck. That was like watching Buttons attack her stuffed mouse toy. Poor kid. Allowing for the unifying species factor it's like watching Neanderthals try to work a smartphone.

The saddest part is Little Xiapo chan didn't end up as dinner but Mommy died trying to save her.

Yes, just read that. This is way deeper and much, much stupiderer than that short video can convey.

The woman left the car because of an argument with her husband, reported The Legal Evening News, based in Beijing. The Beijing News, also based in the Chinese capital, quoted a friend of the family who denied that the couple had been fighting.

Poor mommy. RIP.

[Samurai_Jerk]

I'm still waiting for a story that contradicts the psycho Chinese woman stereotype.

Never again. Never again.

[kurogane]

That's the only reason I am so dumbfounded. What part of IT'S A TIGER PARK is unclear? And seconded on that motion. Those delectable poopers aside, not worth it. Ever.

Yep, I was writing PPT style.

And it is not only the Daily Mail using that type of headers: almost every paper does it.

BTW, nope, has nothing to do with me being non-native. Dutch and English are virtually the same with regard to the use of articles.

[Tsuru]

So apparently China is gathering the mother of all fishing fleets that will sail south from Hainan on subsidized fuel.

This comes days after the failure of ASEAN to produce any sort of agreement on a joint statement to denounce the Chinese takeover of the South China West Flip sea.

You missed out the 'quotation marks'.

Woman left car because of 'family row'.

One-sentence paragraphs, doubleplusgood.

After a worldwide outpouring of sympathy and condolences, it has been announced that the victim in the Tiger Park Attack will be memorialised with a song befitting her bravery:




Wildlife Park officials have also reported that the Tigers involved seemed to show no signs of distress, although one park ranger did claim they appeared to be hungry again only an hour after the attack.

The daughter was probably distressed by her tiger mother, so she got the eye of the tiger when getting out of the car. The mother, faced with the choice between the lady or the tiger, choose to get the tiger by the tail, but little did she know that it was not exactly a paper tiger. Well, for sure, she experienced that a tiger cannot change his stripes...

Trying to give Kuro the lion's share of the credit for that post?!?

[kurogane]

I thought it was rather unfair the way he cut you out of the credit there, but so we're clear, I did not feel wounded by his earlier sharp edged comments, and throughout this topic I have been feline the love.

I prefer to just see the racist shamed and it doesn't provide any other racists with more racist "justification" fodder....but wow...just look at him getting slapped around like a little bitch. I wonder what provoked the 黒鬼 verbal abuse? Am I even allowed to use that word while looking like a 白鬼？
