A weakening economy and increasing political repression are forcing ever more Chinese people to emigrate. Spurred by TikTok, many are seeking more sustainable conditions in the United States.

    Most Americans are trying to get their children into schools in China so they can move there long term.

    I have a bit of a hard time believing that. Where did you hear this?

      They hear it whenever they put their head up their ass. It’s actually just digestive noises, but this neanderthal interprets it however they want.

        Thank you, but I can hear my digestive noises quite fine without warping time and space to bend my anterior to my posterior.

        And those digestive noises do say, that every American desires a better life in North Korea, but will settle for China as second best. Don’t your digestive noises say the same thing?

      Where did you hear this?

      Somewhere sandwiched between a \ and a \

      I thought the tone of the thread above made the irony clear, but apparently everyone took me seriously.

        It was clear. Respect to your commitment to the bit in the edit. A lesser person would have backed away instead of doubling down.
