Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I could be wrong but the Chinese émigrés don’t necessarily like China in so far as they don’t like the CCP.

That's why at one point during the Duterte regime the Philippines had two completely different Chinese emigre factions: those favoring the Mainland, and those against it, and then there were major enclaves serving the Mainland workers doing the offshore gambling operations until the current president Marcos put to an end of it.
