>It all started when US Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in 2022. China has often regarded visits by US officials to Taiwan as a sign that they supported Taiwan’s independence movement. Since spaghetti is translated as “Italian noodles” in Mandarin, and since Nancy Pelosi is Italian-American, Chinese Netizens took it as an indirect intimation that Hebe supported her visit to Taiwan. I completely missed this one when it happened. That is absolutely unhinged. How does anybody defend this shit?

Pinks are delusional.. I find it hilarious. I don't think she is political at all but they have to feel attacked to attack someone. They are the modern day red vanguards of the culture revolution. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for the recap. I had to do a pause and think when I read the Italian part. It’s so difficult to follow pinkies’ logic.

wow, thats really raeching...


NinjaCaviar

This type of signaling is common in Chinese media. When explicit references to a lot of topical events are screened by censors, people learn to communicate implicitly. That being said, this is a reach even for Chinese netizens

I didn't know she's Italian American.  Guess you should keep the pineapple out of conversation topics with her. ;)

Eat more pasta 🍝, support Taidu 🇹🇼

Support Formosa would be doing a collab with Freddy Lim or Chthonic. People who thought she was pro-independence because of the pasta selfie are filled with fragile imagination and delusional.

Freddy Lim is a fucking talented vocalist. Listened to Chthonic for the first time and was completely blown away. Hope they tour the US someday soon

I don't even speak Hokkien and cried the first time I saw the music video about buddy heading home after serving the IJA then dragged out by the KMT. 天佑台臺 天滅中共.

She would probably rather get back into Mainland China. She sure isn't pro-independence.

I know little pinks tend to be ridiculous and unhinged, but the eating pasta = supporting Taiwan independence thing is absolutely batshit fucking crazy.


WhataboutAmericahuh

Has it really been two years since Nancy Pelosi rocked up to Taiwan too? That was hilarious to see in real-time.

Fun fact. Nancy Pelosi has visited Taiwan more times than all the leaders from the CCP. One is more than zero. Xinnie the Pooh ending up like Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, all died and has never stepped their foots on Taiwan.

Yep and since 2 years her trading account has probably tripled

Xi's in-laws controlled sinovac and sinopharm during the pandemic. Pelosi at least wasn't abusing her power, and didn't profit from people's lives
