This thread title is the worst video game concept ever

I can't imagine western countries doing much more than issuing a sternly worded letter. The world economy is too interconnected and dependent on Chinese manufacturing to do much more than that, and for some reason we've decided that resisting China is futile. Trump might do something more, but that's because he's crazy. I don't think Hong Kong is enough of an economic force to resist if China really decided to crack down or assimilate them, but maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.

I mean, what would we do if Hawaii decided to tell us to take our telescope and fuck off?

One of you assholes who give these people money read this and tell me what it says.

According to Kitto's story, Xi was hit in the back with a chair hurled during a contentious meeting of "the red second generation." These meetings of the Communist Party old guard's elite and now-adult children, which includes Xi, come with a lot of baggage. Old rivalries, petty squabbles, and apparently fights that include flying chairs. Here's Kitto:

The meeting turned violent. They went at it hammer and sickle. Xi Jinping tried to calm them down. He put himself physically in the crossfire and unwittingly into the path of a chair as it was thrown across the room. It hit him in the back, injuring him. Hence the absence, and the silence, and the rumours.

It's a plausible story, but given its single anonymous source, probably best taken as an interesting but not yet verified account.

It's absolute horseshit if Morey suffers, professional or otherwise, for that tweet.

Yup
