Awaiting a Democratic Hong Kong

China raps Hong Kong over criticism

According to the Cheng Siwei, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, “These people, who bad-mouth China and Hong Kong, are sinners of the Chinese nation. They are just like bananas, yellow outside but white inside.”

Well, it seems I am a sinner in the Christian Nation too, so sign me up for the Chinese Nation List. There can never be too many membership cards one hold.

Oh and Mr. Cheng Siwei, I want to thank you for your consistency, you’re a dictator on the outside as well as a dictator on the inside. Then again, maybe just a member of the Imperial Court.

  2. And they the pro-power shebang of rotten bananas are yellow outside and rotten inside.
    Kim, maybe you missed the analogy. The “banana” analogy is almost a catch-phrase in the arena of China’s “patriotic” bullshitting.
    Poor innocent bananas. Could they stop taking advantages of them?

  3. Er, I have been called “banana” more times than I care to remember. I understand the analogy, which is why I think they’re acting like moronic children.
    Actually I have a whole rant saved up on Chinese people and their condescension towards those they perceive as “bananas” but that’s for another day.
