Day five: Multi-cultural bullshit
“Chinese language #influencers who mostly post lifestyle content are interviewing election candidates on the social media app #Rednote, allowing politicians to bypass an apparent “shadow ban” on #campaigning by the app and reach a disengaged but vital audience.
The interviews with influencers who usually post about food, real estate and shopping have been published on a platform that is not actively monitored by the Australian Electoral Commission due to Rednote’s scale and the commission’s resources.
#ScottYung, the #Liberal candidate for the ultra-marginal Sydney seat of #Bennelong, where almost one-third of residents have #Chinese ancestry, has featured in multiple interviews shared by #Mandarin speaking influencers on Rednote in recent weeks.”
I note Scotty (another Scotty) highlighted himself due to State campaigning irregularities in 2019. Johhny (War crimes) Howard is all over the #Bennelong campaign. Howard, one step away from #CCP influence campaign. Handy Andy Hastings will be in fits.
This isn’t a “Chinese thing”, this is a “Politics thing” where a multicultural background is weaponised for candidates against the rest of Australian #voters.

“Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination” special exhibition at M+ #Museum, which I visited a couple days ago.
Yellow was the color of Chinese royalty starting in the Tang Dynasty. Rihanna wore this for the Met Gala in 2015 (yeah I can’t believe that was 10 years ago either).
Also love the gown inspired by #Chinese ceramics in the background, and how Guo incorporates the #beauty of Chinese #craftsmanship and #heritage into
New CPC-CG Policy Briefing
For individuals from the #Chinese community in the UK, findings show a lack of trust in the government and #pension systems, meaning more personal savings, self-reliance, and family support for financial security in later life.

"...that melting ice in the #Arctic is emboldening #Russian and #Chinese activity there."
Which would be #Trump boilerplate and explains exactly why Trump is going to annex (or whatever...) #Greenland
"The #dollar view has unravelled very quickly this year," said State Street Global Markets' Michael Metcalfe. "I think there has been an element of take what was said at the start of the year & just flip it."
Just as jarring, the 'Magnificent Seven' #US #tech giants have been hit for 6. They have been a cash cow for portfolios for years but have shed nearly $2T & been left for dust by #Chinese rivals & #Europe's defense firms.

2010. When I played a scarface #Asian mafia boss lady on a horror film short production. Filmed at the old Hung Fat #kungfu club in Chinatown. Gentrification got their longtime, oldest kungfu association in BC, evicted a few years ago.
Gloria Tsoi, pictured with me, owns & runs the kung-fu club - passed down from ancestors. We've been friends since the 90s.

Accompanying the parents to the annual Cheng Beng in Penang.
This will be a thread transcribing and translating the Ming-era spiritual/self-help book #菜根譚 Caìgēntán, a collection of 360 phrases, verses, and aphorisms by 洪應明 Hong Yingming. I am using the edition with Korean translation and commentary by Buddhist monk, classical scholar, poet, and independence activist 한용운 Han Yong-un. The plan is to practice #Chinese typing in #Bopomo and also bulk up my knowledge of Classical characters & grammar. It's going to be a LONG thread if I get it going long enough, so every post will be tagged #Caigentan for easy filtering and you can also mute the whole thread.
