So the guy being paid $300k to sell propaganda by the Chinese government is telling us that a boycott will have no impact on that government’s behaviour. I think I have 300,000 counterexamples?

(I realize $300k is nothing to the government of China, but this is surely just a part of a larger communication strategy aimed at fighting the boycott)

0.5 RMB is like 0.8 USD so… that’s better than most content farms. Sign me up!

You’re a decimal place off. More like .08 USD.

Woops, sorry about that. I started writing 8 cents and then figured that I should use USD since I had used RMB and knew I had to put at least one zero on there to make that work. Story of my life!
