Like this is deeply embarrassing. Nancy Pelosi kneeling while wearing Kente Cloth levels of embarrassing. It shows OP doesn't have any close Chinese friends and also demonstrates a reddit headline level of understanding of China; Hong Kong is not behind the firewall, HKers can (and often do) post this picture.

As a Chinese person, the mental image of OP smugly posting this to "own the tankies" in the same way MAGA dipshits post "Let's Go Brandon" hoping to own the liberals has given me a near lethal amount of second hand cringe.

Please, for the love of god, never approach a Chinese person with this attitude irl. This is on par with ordering an "Irish Car Bomb" in an Irish pub on St. Patricks day, or saying "grassy-ass" to your Hispanic server instead of "thank you", or trying to use anime Japanese around Japanese people, or code switching to AAVE around black people.

I'm considering locking / removing this thread, because of the massive number of orientalist comments and articles being posted. Redditors have no idea how racist they're being right now, its completely unnacceptable.
