Do we now have a consensus that China is not our buddy

South coast OR

Ultravox saw China coming over 30 years ago.......

When pale turns to pink
With a soft unnerving ease
And all you've built around
May just tumble to the ground

We stand or fall
With your future in another's hands
We stand or fall
When your life is not your own

When white turns to red
In the not too distant days
Will force and misery
Be the life you have to lead?

We stand or fall
With your children in anothers world
We stand or fall
When your town is not your own

Chorus:

White China
White China

When crimson takes a hold
When the lights go down on all you've ever known
When all you'll ever do
Is worked out for you

We stand or fall
When the thoughts you have are not your own
We stand or fall
When the freedom slips away

(Repeat chorus 3 times)

(not to be confused with China White, but then again?)

I got in to a fight with the girl I'm dating over china

she got some warby parker glasses and was stoked because they are soooo inexpensive

I told her, that's because they use cheap slave labor and you shouldn't buy that sh!t

she said she didn't care.

I reminded her that China is the reason her family all died of starvation trying to get out
of NK during the war and that she is funding the next country's demise because she gives
her money to them in exchange for cheap bullshit.

that didn't go over very well, but fk it....people are so fkn myopic and I think it's a serious issue

just call her when you know she can’t answer and leave her a voicemail and just say “China”

That might be my favorite surf purchase of all time
On the one hand it’s pretty goofy but on the other I am enjoying just changing out in the open with zero stress over managing a towel wrapped around me

Im going to need to find some kind of winter parka version for very cold conditions

damn you, China

Fuck this poncho sh!t. Doing the bear necessities dance while drying off my crotch, schlong, and ballsack in a parking lot on a summer Saturday morning with vanloads of suburbanites waiting on my space is glorious.
