Whilst I hear what you are trying to get at, you are saying it all wrong and to be frank your statements are as crass in part as the poster you seek to ridicule.

The Chinese have the advantage of having seen the ‘developed’ nations go through 250+ years of wrong turns, blind alleys and spectacular successes. That they only started 20 years ago should not mean that they should be treated as starting from the same level as others; they are not for one second. They have the combined knowledge of the successes and failures of 250+ years of industrial development, they have available to them the knowledge that massive coal fired power stations are only a temporary solution and will cause immense pollution in their wake. They know what we have hard to learn the hard way will actually genuinely really cause massive environmental harm. They have also adopted (note the passive wordage) product designs and processes that have taken 10’s of years for other countries to learn.

Yet instead of choosing to start off and build from a 21st century level they have chosen to adopt that which is the most profitable in the short term and ignore the lessons learned about the longer term downsides to those processes.

I do not withhold the right for China or any other nation to seek to move from a mainly subsistence basis to an industrial one but I do resent being told that the poor little dears should be allowed to pump as much st into the earth as they like on the basis of “Well you did it for 200+ years” Yes we did, then we learnt that it was not a good move for anyone so have weaned/ are weaning ourselves off it. You knew from day one, but just didn’t care in a wonderful feast of self entitlement.

Truth be told it will only be when China stops copying what others started doing years before them that I will start to buy my tin foil hats.

It's not me we are talking about is it? I'm saying that if a ferrari employee did that here they might get a ticket but there wouldn't be a public apology.

Rather than questioning what I know why not offer an opinion, that might be more interesting...

Dragon logos? Oh dear.

Nothing that a long spell in a Chinese jail would not cure.

You have a link to that video?

Lol that made me smile

fk em, who cares, do you think any Chiny gives two fks about British culture, monuments? I fkin doubt it. Its about time the English turn the tides.

gracias! I was desperate to see the video, not particularly eventful though

Oh FFS, it's a few Rubber marks, sort out the human rights abuses and censorship, sort out the slave labour and then we might give a thought to the tragically skidded on, fairly old, but not that old wall that actually wasn't really damaged, get a pressure washer out and make the perpatrator get hosing, but don't then execute him in the back of a van and harvest his organs to be transplanted into wealthy health tourists who turn a blind eye to the remarkable supply of healthy organs available.

I liked the line in the news report - "The word Ferrari has now been blocked on Weibo".

There was no incident. There is no such thing as a Ferrari.
