      Interesting how the UK screams human rights violation on the extremely harsh drug laws in Asian countries, when they were the actual cause of those laws being so harsh with their opium campaign that ruined entire societies.

      They also never actually relinquished their claim on Hong Kong, as seen in 2020.

        They ruined us Indians for 2 centuries, left a mess of border lines, and did collateral damage to China with both Opium Wars. And then they have the audacity to tell everyone to just accept it as some kind of destined fate.

        It boils my blood.
