Sorry, but what the hell is this? I gotta facepalm when China of all countries uncritically regurgitates the fairy tale(bullshit) version of the United States history when the Americans themselves are starting to reject it for begin too obviously full of shit. Nothing the American colonists did is ever worth emulating nor could anyone emulate it even if they wanted to(the last person who tried is Hitler).

The fact that nobody thought this is even is slightly fishy tell the depth of US narrative dominance. The average person don't think, don't know and immediately accept American fairy tale history and think no further, while the average westoid doesn't know doesn't think or know anything the Chinese wrote about themselves, and will actively rewrite pre-modern history of other countries themselves to justify their present perception due to contemporary politics.

This really remind of of the anecdote, when children in British colonies play Cowboy and Indians, they always want to be the cowboy and want the cowboy to win, they don't really know why, they just do. Even tho the only thing preventing them from being the next Indian irl is that the British aren't quite as awful as their colonists are.

I don't want to drag this out for too long, but China in general have a completely unrealistic view of the United States and choose to be willfully ignorant of its true nature. This seeps into important positions of the country with detrimental effect. I remember all those stories of the United States from the early 2000s on China's internet/magazines, stories so outlandish that it sounds no different from a Christian preacher describing heaven to potential converts.

I have no doubt that if the United States stop pushing its cold war agenda for 3 seconds, alot of Chinese people are just going flip back into braindead anglo simps like nothing has happened.

Tbh at Zhuhai it's meant to target the shitty third world nations that are basically American SSRs but America lost their ability to keep many of them coherent, so they drifted away. And this is good marketing towards them.

Last week I lightly made fun of Cantonese as "chicken language". Today a Cantonese friend corrected me and said that Mandarin was a chicken language too, northerners and southerners are brothers in chicken. Challenge:

季姬寂，集鸡，鸡即棘鸡。棘鸡饥叽，季姬及箕稷济鸡。鸡既济，跻姬笈，季姬忌，急咭鸡，鸡急，继圾几，季姬急，即籍箕击鸡，箕疾击几伎，伎即齑，鸡叽集几基，季姬急极屐击鸡，鸡既殛，季姬激，即记《季姬击鸡记》。

求用汉语拼音书写后来讲学这一篇古文。

Uh...

Jì jī jì, jí jī, jī jí jí jī. Jí jī jī jī, jì jījíjī jì jì jī. Jī jì jì, jī jī jí, jì jī jì, jí jī jī, jī jí, jì jī jǐ, jì jī jí, jí jí jī jī jī, jī jí jī jǐ jì, jì jí jī, jī jī jí jǐ jī, jì jī jí jí jī jī jī, jī jì jí, jì jī jī, jí jì “jì jī jī jī jì”.

I admit defeat.

(Cantonese:

季[gwai3]姬[gei1]寂[jik6]，集[jaap6]鸡[gai1]，鸡[gai1]即[jik1]棘[kik1/gik1]鸡[gai1]。棘[kik1/gik1]鸡[gai1]饥[gei1]叽[gei1]，季[gwai3]姬[gei1]及[kap6]箕[gei1]稷[jik1]济[jai3]鸡[gai1]。鸡[gai1]既[gei3]济[jai3]，跻[jai1]姬[gei1]笈[kap1]，季[gwai3]姬[gei1]忌[gei6]，急[gap1]咭[kaat1]鸡[gai1]，鸡[gai1]急[gap1]，继[gai3]圾[saap3]几[gei1/gei2]，季[gwai3]姬[gei1]急[gap1]，即[jik1]籍[jik6]箕[gei1]击[gik1]鸡[gai1]，箕[gei1]疾[jat6]击[gik1]几[gei1/gei2]伎[gei6]，伎[gei6]即[jik1]齑[jai1]，鸡[gai1]叽[gei1]集[jaap6]几[gei1/gei2]基[gei1]，季[gwai3]姬[gei1]急[gap1]极[gik6]屐[kek6]击[gik1]鸡[gai1]，鸡[gai1]既[gei3]殛[gik1]，季[gwai3]姬[gei1]激[gik1]，即[jik1]记[gei3]《季[gwai3]姬[gei1]击[gik1]鸡[gai1]记[gei3]》。)

not chicken.
