That’s a dangerous proposition and a horrible precedent.

I was in China a few years ago for the signing of a business deal. There was a Communist Party Representative at the table too. He demanded a “gift” from me before he would allow the official to sign. BLUF: No deal. This sounds similar.

Agreed. Proudly displaying mine at full “mast”. LOL.

We buy ketchup mustard mayonnaise and relish every 4th of July, ensuring the expiration date is a couple years away. We use a little bit and put it back in the fridge. Where it sits for a year. Then we throw it all away and buy new, always paying attention to the expiration dates. 🤦‍♂️

I think they mean “piercings”. 🤦‍♂️

Common dolphins interacting with another species - humans. There were some humpbacks too but I didn’t get video of it. Sadly.

I wonder what kind of corruption is going on here. A few years back I tried doing business in Kunming China with a government agency & they wanted “a gift” of 200k cigarettes. I refused. I’m not doing business in China. We have a law against bribing foreign officials. So, something’s going on here.

RAINews (Italian TV) is reporting that China 🇨🇳 has jets and ships circling their prey - Taiwan. 🇹🇼 Pre-invasion planning?

My wife got these gifts from a work colleague for Valentine’s Day. I don’t think I need to worry or should I? I mean what girl can resist feta?
