Slanted eyes still considered an offense to Chinese people?
[By Zhang Long]
shine.cn/news/nation/21…
2/China's criticism: “The premise is that Chinese cannot let the West shape our aesthetics,” wrote a critic of the Chinese Communist Party’s Global Times."
Yet the model Cai Niang Niang is herself Chinese and the the ad is pushing the "Western aesthetic” of Chinese beauty.
3/If it rubs Chinese sensibilities the wrong way Chinese fashionistas should simply show us the "Eastern aesthetic" of Chinese beauty. Individual Chinese models showcasing Chinese couture will then inform Western sensibilities and fashionistas how the Chinese perceive beauty. ☮️

@SungYoonLee1 You know what isn’t funny? Syngman Rhee never signed the Armistice b/c he didn’t want to admit ROK failed to reunify Korea by force. And ever since US-ROK have been “waging war by any other means” thru sanctions & not accepting DPRK’s nuclear deterrence as

@SungYoonLee1 3/National Security Act. You’re not allowed to see DPRK’s socialist system as valid. ROK projects it’s own aspiration onto DPRK, then fear causes you to rationalize that its nuclear weapons are to enable it to “reunify the peninsula by force”. When the underlying reality is that

@mllesookim So then you don't understand that South Korea, which accuses DPRK of being the threat whose nukes will help it "reunify the peninsula under socialism by force", is the one "waging war by other means" w/ the US forcing DPRK to go on the nuclear defensive?
@mllesookim Or that only security guarantees and arms control are the issues that can move US-DPRK relations forward, that Trump set the high bar in diplomacy giving North Koreans reason to hope for a better future and that DPRK has a really low regard of Biden?
@mllesookim Or that North Koreans indeed feel safer having nuclear weapons?

The planets & the stars have been here longer than we have. Our bodies are mere stardust. I’ll venture to say that THE best explanation for the Jan 6 riot - which Trump condemned - is the astrological interpretation for that date, which @Astrology_King
is spot on in.
2/The riot was "triggered" when the Jan 6, 2021 Ascendant conjuncted the degree of the "highly charged lunar eclipse" to within 12 minutes.
"This is because the eclipse was conjunct fixed star Aldebaran, causing courage, ferocity, a tendency to sedition, and violence.”

3/lunar eclipses conjunct the fixed star Aldebaran and what do you get? A Capitol riot.Of course the Dems are having a field day spinning this into the perfect weaponized narrative streamlined to their political agenda. “Trump masterminded the Capitol riot” however is delusional

South Korea never signed the Armistice Agreement, due to President Syngman Rhee's refusal to accept having failed to unify Korea by force. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Ar…
2/Wait, so this is huge. South Korea never signed the Armistice b/c it didn't want to admit failure to reunify the Korean Peninsula by force. Yet to this day the ROK makes the accusation that the DPRK is intent on doing the very same thing. South Korea is guilty of projection:
3/"6b: the attribution of one's own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people or to objects
especially : the externalization of blame, guilt, or responsibility as a defense against anxiety"
Syngman Rhee wanted the war to continue to defeat DPRK and reunify Korea by force. 68

Inside North Korea: What happens when a group of international artists travels to North Korea to create art, the like of which the regime has never seen before?
2/"While the world is on the verge of nuclear war, a group of Western contemporary artists are invited into the eye of the storm - North Korea. The aim is to collaborate with North Korean artists in an art-exchange project displaying new and challenging art in a country where
3/"abstract art is forbidden."
What's amazing is that the dialogue and exchanges b/t the team of international artists and North Korean artists in the video bring expressly to light Western and North Korean attitudes toward one another as well as different perspectives on art.
