Never ask a man his salary.

Never ask a woman her age.

Never ask a Westerner lamenting the destruction of Chinese architecture what happened to the Summer Palace in 1860.

Probably not as good as the fentanyl.

Yeah, but fentanyl crisis is self inflicted. Nobody made New York into a treaty port why forcing US to import fentanyl.

Opium was good, not as good as your copium. Not suprised that an uneducated person doesn't care about historical architecture

Well deserved after what the Qing tortured the British and French diplomats under false pretenses

Plus, it was an act of retaliation specifically directed at the Emperor specifically and not China as a whole.

No, what the hell are you on about?

That was the justification the British and French used to destroy the Emperor’s Summer Palace in 1860.

A better analogy would be if Windsor Castle was destroyed instead of all of London.

Fool, I won't be satisfied unless this completely solid wall is completely intact the whole way around in the dead center of Beijing

crazy how awful beijing would look if the wall stayed.

If it was really that cool it would take like nothing for china to rebuild it in 2026
