Prisoner's Trade

After 7 Years, Talks Collapse on World Trade

Nothing like Classic Prisoner's Dilemma coming alive to beat the shit out of policies that would enable prosperity if everyone would cooperate but are hard to implement since everyone is a greedy douche. Thanks China, India, and Brazil, guess you fuckers forgot how trade helped your poor asses the past thirty some years.

Let's Cry for China

I love it. Koreans ruin China's sweet sixteen.

A bunch of people have been giving the Koreans crap about releasing this film to the world days prior to the real opening. The Chinese are being pretty uptight about intellectual rights for a country known for it's copyright violations and refusal to uphold international intellectual laws for technologies and scientific knowledge they steal from abroad all the time. But whose the real victim here? The Chinese government and their carefully choreographed flashcard, laser, light, and special effects show, or the oppressed people of Xinjiang, Tibet, and other minority national groups along with Chinese human rights advocates who are either brutally murdered or jailed indefinitely with no fair trial?



Obviously it's the centralized bureaucracy of a regional hegemon that needs our tears right now.
