PolyMatter Pinned by PolyMatter PolyMatter 2 months ago If the music video clip at the beginning felt a little off, that's because it had to be dramatically altered for fear of getting demonetized by YouTube. In addition to the bonus video, the Nebula version of this video has my original uncut vision of that intro. I never want to be forced to censor my content and don't want you to feel like you're getting a "lesser" version of the video on YouTube, but the truth is that YouTube has forced me. I hope you understand and if you have Nebula, I hope you'll watch the full version there. Thanks and hope you enjoy this end to the series! -Evan 2.4K nomoreusernamesleft1 nomoreusernamesleft1 2 months ago "the only country to not experience this trend was japan, because it already maxed out" spits out coffee 5.3K Bat 42 Bat 42 2 months ago “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War 1.4K Rover Range Rover Range 2 months ago "China can afford to be confident and assertive because it is a large, powerful and important country."

A half of its posts mock the West and allies, and other half promote Chinese ideas and achivements. While FB page of embassy of other countries mostly talks about the co-operation between two countries. 656 gibbdude gibbdude 2 months ago That part at the end where he compared the two Olympics logos really bummed me out. The old one uses the style of really ancient Chinese writing, and its soft curves look friendly. The new one is very harsh and modern. Rather than inviting the world to share in its rich and fascinating history and culture, China is now trying to appear cold, belligerent, and intimidating. 118 ImDreamingVideo ImDreamingVideo 2 months ago The more isnecure a government, the more it spends on internal security. 127 Mr. Shark Mr. Shark 1 month ago I still remember back in the day when China is just this nation that just love making money and far interested in trading with other nation.
