Apparently there's been some controversy about China offering Taiwan a pair of giant pandas, and ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) rageprufrock posts a link to that article in her LJ. The response is generally one of amusement, until harumi adds her two cents:
Well, I'm Taiwanese, and I don't appreciate the subtle hint at China/Taiwan unity. Historically we meant shit to China, so I don't see why they suddenly insist on being our bestest pals after our GDP rose up higher than theirs...oh, wait, maybe that's why.
Funny news article, but I have to wonder at reporter neutrality when clearly the author isn't. I don't care for the Chinese government, and have no wish to become part of their country, or have anything to do with their communist policies.
Pandas are cute, but if they're going to name them with names like Tuan Yuan, I can't help but be a little wary.
Of course, best course as far as I'm concerned, is simply to take the gift, and then rename them.
The ensuing sub-thread is then frozen, although harumi responds as an anon near the bottom.
It's not huge, but the passive aggressiveness on both sides makes up for it.

Eh, more customers_suck. This isn't all that hot, but it's just...it's like a meta wank. Faeries, wolves, and e-AIDS (like e-ebola, but with more killing power than before!). We even start out with a return from tigerwolf!
bloodyheadfaery posts in C_S about the rude people she encounters while working in market research. Right out the gate is tigerwolf with Get off my phone! Proceed with the e-lawyering and "Beware the mail room bitch...er...friend I have at the FCC! Bonus points for involving the FTC!"
Various people follow arguing if this is rude.
Oh? All you people who didn't find me funny or agree with me? Have some e-AIDS!
ETA: Bahleeted, sadly. If anyone managed to sae any of it, let me know.
