Do you have a soul?

Yes, though five and a half years living among a barbaric and murderous society, built on ethnocentrism and Nietcszhian delusions of demigodhood, called China, did some damage to it. Losing everything I owned and almost losing my right leg to their primitivity and corruption, while listening to their constant musings about the notion of annihilating entire nations, including the one where my children are growing up, did further damage to it. In the end, I will say yes, I do have a soul, though I will go to my grave denying any sonofabitch holding a Chinese passport can say they have the same, and I spit in the face of any stupid motherfucker who thinks otherwise.

Seriously, read some of the literature of that backward little shit pit you live in. Learn their language. Read the history of how that language was formed. Get a load of what they really think of the world around them.

As for globalism superseding nationalism, look around the world. Nobody but Xi buys that anymore. Regarding the idea that globalism has "chosen" China, if you really do live there then surely you've noticed how their economy is collapsing. I watched it happen from right there in Beijing from 2015 onward. You say "follow the money?" I have been, and I'm watching how desperate the Chinese elites and middle class are to get theirs out of China, while it's still worth anything.

China has been in a death spiral for years, and all they have done now is made it literal. The only tragedy is that the world didn't become aware of the virus fast enough to pull our own people out of China and lock the Shi-Na Minzoku (get a Japanese friend to translate it for you) inside their third-world homeland, assuring that no one would have to die with them except themselves.

Now then, got anything else you want to ask?
