So, to sum things up, there are a lot of them, they like trains, they work long hours, are underpaid and enjoy very little spare time and I'm a biggot.

I have nothing against the people. They are civilised, polite and friendly and I love them the same way I love any of my fellow humans. (have you seen footage related to their umbrella revolution? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szBjuAAydBk )
It's large multi-million dollar companies and the government that I'm afraid of mostly because they tend to be tied together.

That channels has a few videos that can teach you a bit about it's history as well if you're willing to rummage through the videos.

Firstly, I never called you a bigot - but let's be honest, a lot of people out there are bigoted, as we sometimes see on the forums.

You can try and trivialise China as much as you like, turn it into handy soundbites if you want, but it's an incredibly old, highly complex civilisation that deserves more attention than that.

The Chinese government sucks, no argument about that - but again, only seeing that misses a lot about the country.

So... do you really want to talk about China, or do you just want to peddle your particular political views?

Comments about China as a whole aside ... my main concern is how multi-million dollar chinese companies have ties to their government in ways we will probably never be able to see due to lack of transparency, just look at their state-owned media, freedom of speech policies and internet censorship.
I don't want Jagex to be just another puppet.

That would just bring everything to what it was back in 2004, eh?

Not even that far back. When I started foruming 06ish people were getting banned for using the forums to chat. Getting the chat threads was done with the blood of some forumers.
