Yawn, another brigade from Drama? They must be tired of disrespecting the trans community or creeping on underage children if they're willing to shit on a wholesome subreddit that actually does something to help others.

The only point you'll ever have is that you represent the sad, fedora-wearing, bloated face of capitalism in the 21st century.

Unfairly made famous and rich through copied ideas and appealing to kids. And yet is driven by some bizarre need for attention to spout insane, teenage edge lord style views. You are clearly not all that up on politics (or anything, maybe you can code?) yet your wealth has given you an oversized platform of confused 12 to 16 year olds to yell "sjwjjwjwj" at over and over again.

Honestly, I don't give a shit if you've been driven mad by fame or some bullshit. When I see amazing creative people dying depressed in poverty every day and you get to sit on twitter and make half assed 'now yur the nazi' comments, it's fucking sickening.

honestly reddits upvote/downvote system, silver/gold/plat system, and moderator system would translate very well into that social credit system china is trying build/gamify

Plus how easily propaganda can be bought, sold, and spread.

Don't forget the censorship tools

The fact that Tencent is pretty much dumping money everywhere except for Chinese stuff draws a pretty grim picture for the business opportunities in China right now.

Either things are going down so they had to branch out, or they want to buy the whole world and drag us down with them.

Chinese never have original ideas, what's the point?

The Chinese never have original ideas, what's the point?

Idk, crushing your own citizens with tanks seems like a pretty original idea.

Not to mention ordering the death of all sparrows, which caused a famine that killed at least 15 million people is pretty original too.

Those poor birdies 😭

Don't worry, their deaths turned out to be the cause of another Chinese famine. So in a sense, those sparrows got their revenge from beyond the grave.

USSR did it in Hungary and Poland decades before.

Crushing someone with 10 tons = not as fun as 50 tons.

You don't get the full tube of toothpaste effect.

It's much easier to wash people down storm drains when they're a nice consistent paste.

Hungary and Czechia were not part of the USSR.

Warsaw Pact and under the control of Moscow.

Still a stretch to call that "own citizens". Warsaw Pact was basically East-European NATO but even more centered around a superpower.

They were client states and de facto part of the Soviet (Russian) empire, as evidenced by the Soviet army being sent to squash the rebellion.

It’s over for Prague springcels

Crushing sparrows did not cause a famine. It caused an outbreak of spiders.

Good, fucking sparrow-killing retards.

*outbreak of locusts. Who, you know, eat grain.

And killing the sparrows that eat locusts

The fastest urbanization and GDP growth ever recorded in history. Being both a developing country and the 2nd or 1st economy of the world. Depending on whether you adjust for PPP or not. That was kinda original. Being the greatest civilization since the dawn of mankind up until ~1800. It had 2 centuries of humiliation but from now on China will be the most important country in the world until forever. They're destined to be.

Napoleon was right: "China is a sleeping giant. Let her lie and sleep, for when she awakens she will astonish the world."

PLEASE PAY ME TENCENT I WANT MONEY FOR MY SHILLING

谢谢你支持中国

Ah yeah, someone with different perspective. I used to be like that, but you know what? Fuck China. Even if itsn't as bad as western media portrays from my personal experience they are ruining everything they touch.

don't say never

they built the wall first so thats something

And their meme game is weak tbh

The fact that Tencent is pretty much dumping money everywhere except for Chinese stuff draws a pretty grim picture for the business opportunities in China right now.

Why would you think that ? Investing in foreign corps will be helpful for chinese diplomacy with the host country of said company.

Japan's softbank invests in foreign companies all the time.

Investing in foreign countries is a way to diversify risk away from your home nation obviously.

chinese diplomacy

lol

"diplomacy"

What?

The Chinese model is to diversify as much as possible and buy shit tons of stuff in America/Africa to increase their influence.

I'm not sure how it will affect their overseas investments if their own economy crash? If anything it will mitigate the effects and decrease the chances of the world economy going down in flames.

Foreign investment might help Tencent do OK, but if there is any general trend of Tencent investing in foreign assets its an indication that they are not so positive about assets back home. They are trying to diversify risk away from their home market.

They have hundreds of subdivisions but like 75% of their holdings are still in China.

It's not like just recently they've started panicking and buying shit overseas - it's been a decades long effort from all the big Chinese companies and state itself to expand to other markets. Just like all US businesses are and have been doing for 100 years.

Do you think Swiss air is uncertain about the Swiss economy just because they're operating routes between New York and Copenhagen or are they just making money where they see an opportunity?

😂😂😂

Gunpowder?

Tencent already have their fingers in every Chinese pie. They're diversifying because there's nothing else to buy in China.

The 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, commonly known in mainland China as the June Fourth Incident (Chinese: 六四事件, liùsì shìjiàn), were student-led demonstrations in Beijing (the capital of the People's Republic of China) in 1989. More broadly, it refers to the popular national movement inspired by the Beijing protests during that period, sometimes called the '89 Democracy Movement (Chinese: 八九民运, bājiǔ mínyùn). The protests were forcibly suppressed after Chinese Premier Li Peng declared martial law. In what became known in the West as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, troops with automatic rifles and tanks fired at the demonstrators trying to block the military's advance towards Tiananmen Square. The number of civilian deaths has been estimated variously from 180 to 10,454.

Set against a backdrop of rapid economic development and social changes in post-Mao Zedong China, the protests reflected anxieties about the country's future in the popular consciousness and among the political elite. The reforms of the 1980s had led to a nascent market economy which benefitted some people, but seriously disaffected others and the one-party political system also faced a challenge of legitimacy. Common grievances at the time included inflation, limited preparedness of graduates for the new economy and restrictions on political participation. The students called for democracy, greater accountability, freedom of the press and freedom of speech, though they were loosely organized and their goals varied.[6][7] At the height of the protests, about 1 million people assembled in the Square.

As the protests developed, the authorities veered back and forth between conciliatory and hardline tactics, exposing deep divisions within the party leadership.[9] By May, a student-led hunger strike galvanized support for the demonstrators around the country and the protests spread to some 400 cities.[10] Ultimately, China's paramount leader Deng Xiaoping and other Communist Party elders believed the protests to be a political threat and resolved to use force.[11][12] The State Council declared martial law on 20 May 20 and mobilized as many as 300,000 troops to Beijing.[10] The troops suppressed the protests by firing at demonstrators with automatic weapons, killing multiple protesters and leading to mass civil unrest in the days following.

The international community, human rights organizations and political analysts condemned the Chinese government for the violent response to the protests. Western countries imposed severe economic sanctions and arms embargoes on Chinese entities and officials. In response, the Chinese government verbally attacked the protestors and denounced Western nations who had imposed sanctions on China by accusing them of interference in China's internal affairs, which elicited heavier condemnation by the West. It made widespread arrests of protesters and their supporters, suppressed other protests around China, expelled foreign journalists, strictly controlled coverage of the events in the domestic press, strengthened the police and internal security forces and demoted or purged officials it deemed sympathetic to the protests. More broadly, the suppression temporarily halted the policies of liberalization in the 1980s. Considered a watershed event, the protests also set the limits on political expression in China well into the 21st century. Its memory is widely associated with questioning the legitimacy of Communist Party rule and remains one of the most sensitive and most widely censored political topics in mainland China.

Sorry ma'am, looks like his delusions have gotten worse. We'll have to admit him,

Always knew LongPostBot was working for China.

holy shit

That's what you get for talking about [redacted]

fucking wumao

Good post. This will soon be blocked on Reddit, because Tencent says Tiananmen Square protests never happened, according to their sources.

It'll only be blocked in China, probably.

Ching chong Bing bong! Herro

I'm a paid shill for Tencent, herro, we are so glad to be Redditors now. Brazinga!

To celebrate our financial future we have Narwhals the Bacon to Muslims in our detention camps in Western China.

Yeah we don't have to stoop to racism...

Imagine taking the high road in the comment section of a 3 week old post on r/Drama

Oh I didn't know this post was old.

‘Chinese bot’ doesn’t quite have the ring to it as Russian bot does

Why not both? 🇨🇳🤖 works for /r/The_Democrat and 🇷🇺🤖 works for /r/The_Donald

How 'bout Beijing Bot?

It should be illegal for foreign companies to own any part of an American media platform.

k

Russia Today?

What about a foreign national holding a plurality of shares of a media company?

I don’t think that should be allowed.

That isn't what he said.

New york times?

Great now I can get spilled to by asians

Hi guys have you ever heard about Xi Jinping and how awesome he is and all the great things he's doing for China?

Winnie the pooh.

Have you heard how awesome and lovely are Chinese’s tourists? Not likes those evil Japanese ones

Tiananmen en square massacre

Oh good. China, if you're reading this, fuck you.

Fun fact about the Mainland Chinese, they have this sort of reactionary hivemind where if you tell a chinese "you're a cuck" he'll turn around and say "this laowai is saying that the chinese are cucks" and then you get lynchmobbed.

Praise Allah this is what we need! We need allies such as these to further the word of our beloved Quran!

Fuck yeah, now we can have "seasons" and a "DramaPass" that we can level up to unlock new emojis and the Bussies4Tencent flair

Could be worse, at least it’s not Israel

Welcome to the rice fields!!!

Chinese conglomerates are representatives almost directly of the Chinese government. Good to know reddit is upfront about being essentially for sale.

This would basically give them your information if you post anything bad about them.

For some reason I want to start r/TibetNumber1

Wheres your backbone reddit?

The GOP broke it.

Gotta run for 4chan then

ching chong nip nong HAIL CHINA. 5 Yuan has been transferred to your account.

So.

Isnt tenccent basically the extension of the chinese goverment?

Fucking tencent has both epic and reddit by the dick but one of these company’s are providing fun and the other is banning short people. Guess which one is providing the fun

Whelp, I'm terrified.

China is great and has a wonderful culture and government. I would love to live and work in China! (pls remember this comment mr mao when you take over the west)

Also, China's investments in Europe has raised a lot. You can check out how and why.
