I expect that they need their self respect a lot more than they need the Chinese market. What will they do with another $10m each? or $100m... they don't strike me as G5 and coke fellas... Maybe more divorces?

They have been known to drop acid from time to time.

That's not an expensive hobby

To be fair, the Chinese have in fact been treated horribly many times in many places by many other countries including at least the US and Japan.

But hasn’t other people been treated worst? The country of India, the entire continent of Africa, and how about all the Native Americans? Do we need to hold grudges from our grandparents parents? According to that logic, the world forever would be in a mode of revenge seeking. I always find this argument preposterous as someone ethnically Chinese hearing it from a nationalistic Chinese, 10 years younger, from China f…

I have to say, this is really the only way to respond to China when it comes to their no-humor censors: just come out and mock them. They don't really have any way to reply. One wonders if there is an entire revolutionary class within China sharing South Park videos for freedom.

I wish I knew Mandarin. Just watched the episode, and although it's not needed to appreciate it, the Mandarin probably is another layer of humor.

I got that impression because I watched "Mexican Joker" after that, and when the immigrant kids arrive at the detention center, and the welcome is being translated for them, the mangled Spanish, while brief, was brilliant in its mangling. I appreciate that care to detail.
