What are you on about ? The Chinese social credit system is a cynical way to cancel individuals that do not tow the CCP line and reward that ones that do. Its a system of direct social control. Am A Chinese MMA fighter has been effectively cancelled. He can’t travel and he can’t work . Why? Because he exposed the bullshit state supported’ Chinese martial arts ‘ by defeating the ‘ masters ‘ easily . If you dont toady to the CCP you are cancelled. That isn’t a good and honourable thing . I've not come across what you mention, but its not as if this country is any shining example. There will always be wrong'uns. The thing is that overall people who live there will tell you there is no fear of the government. You have really got to want to piss the government off to get unwarranted attention. BBC man was on the radio today about it. He said he went over to find out about the Wuhan lab and he was spied on, tailed , denied access here there and everywhere. You see they knew he was coming and knew why he was there. The BBC though have created some very dishonest reports that even the foreign minister had it out with them.
It's just different cultural conventions. Some things you are expected to do and some things are taboo. Best advice is when in Rome do as the Romans do and you'll be fine. The typical cases that are not are the political activist types. I bet your fighter had some strong political views. You lose the bet. |

OK so what was the reason then?

The guy was a genuine fighter and was pointing out that most traditional Chinese martial arts was bullshit and ineffective. Trouble is that China gets a lot of money and a lot prestige from its CMAs. The Chinese Kung fu master is the equivalent of the US gunslinger ( another myth). |

So the truth was he didn't have anything in the weapon of mass destruction cupboard that could destroy the UK in 45 minutes and was a made up lie, glad we got to the bottom of that. i know sheepy. We all know it outside of the blairite bubble zany inhabits. Its the same trait in this thread as he exhibited in the farage thread. Here zany is convinced of blairs sanctity. Over in the farage thread , zany had farage done bang to rights and was drawing and quartering him , with all sorts of puerile excuses , and now on that subject too he has egg on his face.
I know Sheepy Jeez grow up. |
