I spilled egg fried rice all over myself watching US bombers drop their load in Korea & a GI shouted ‘this nigga eating egg fried rice’ & everyone laughed and killed me
How have the Chinese not played the reverse card and intentionally celebrated cooking fried rice as a sign of bravery in the face of an adversary here?
Getting your unit killed out of stubbornness crosses the line from bravery to just being stupid.
Aw, Nuts
Something tells me it would like go over about as well as dressing up as a British colonial officer to celebrate Independence Day.
But people do, just a couple of bandages and your set. Also, so many jokes about the red coats are coming.
Yes, I’m sure you’ll find some people who might dress up for a performance, but I don’t think this is very common. At least I’ve never seen it.
You realize that while a single counterexample DOES invalidate a logical argument, a single outlier does not invalidate a statistical trend, right?
I can tell you could be from almost anywhere in the world except britain

This happened three years ago, how the hell does this become news now
because he did it again? Have you read the article, yes?
This year’s gaffe was Wang’s third offence. He released similar videos around the time of the anniversary of Mao Anying’s death in 2018 and 2020, both times prompting an outcry on social media.
Lmao aight my bad then
Oh cool, I didn’t know about this rumour. Thanks to the glass hearts of these people now I do!
Now I have an interesting possibly-true story to tell when the topic of fried rice comes up
Citizens doing the pillorying, remember, not the state.
Just ignore the fact that social credit score will go down and disappearances will occur if you don’t loudly do this shit to prove that you are a good, loyal citizen.
Nah, the state itself doesn’t care about this. This is human beings looking for people to outgroup and then force the state into action. I’m not implying that the state isn’t captured by crazed jingonists that border on fascism. I just think it’s important to understand just how much popular outrage is what drives what the Chinese state does.
China has plenty of earnest nationalists who are as stupid and easily roused by nonsense as nationalists here in the US. The party doesn’t need to stoke this. Also, that’s not how social credit or disappearances work.

It’s pronounced wong gong if I’m not mistaken.
Or like wung gung, kind of.
It’s just westerners that pronounce that kind of A sound aaaaall the way up our noses. You’re correct, according to what I learned from Uncle Roger. :)

Nah, I’m with you. That shit is funny.
Wang Gang scrambles China’s eggs
At first I thought this was going to be a piece about Uncle Roger, but reality is funnier than anything he could ever put out.
Fuck Uncle Roger. Party sell out piece of shit.
The guy he reposted is a literal cult member, of a cult they still glorifies foot binding and is known worldwide for spreading lies about China. Literal cult member. Of a cult implicated in trafficking. Not taking the video down would be the bigger piece of shit move. Don’t promote cultists.
Likewise don’t promote genocidal authoritarians like the CCP.
Didn’t he joke about the CPP in his own standup and is now banned from entering China because of it?
Sure, everyone must become a martyr for the noble cause and sacrifice their entire career so you can conveniently upvote and move along to the next meme. Fucking A+ 5/5 gr8 b8 m8

Come on. What are you, fifteen?
I support democratization of PRC and justice for all activists suffering under CCP’s opression. That doesn’t mean I’ll join a lynch mob after an internet comedian who dared to protect his own life and of his family.

I was going to say, I assume this is uncle Roger again but apparently not lol
We need Uncle Roger to comment on this.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Uncle Roger lovers loves Uncle Wang Gang. Him never making fried rice again is very sad. Haiyaa!
First they banned Uncle Roger, and now they’re coming after Chef Wang Gang :(
Boy, that Chef must have egg on his face.
Egg fried rice is seriously taboo cause some guy died 75 years ago? Lol
It’s fascinating how authoritarians demand respect, but throw fits over such petty symbols. “Our DIVINELY chosen, absolutely perfect leader’s own son was killed while DEFINITELY NOT cooking with eggs. How dare ANY true citizen take pride in making such a VULGAR dish?! Egg fried rice shakes the very foundations of our flawless, unshakable regime!”
Some guy died 75 years ago cooking egg fried rice
Allegedly
The dumbest thing about that to me is that if the story about Mao is taboo, then people are not supposed to be talking about it.
If it’s also something as mundane as egg fried rice, then it becomes possible that this chef simply forgot the taboo story because nobody talks about it.
Also, by making something as inherently inocuous as egg fried rice taboo, they are only drawing attention to the rumor. And the fact that the CCP are so bothered by it would make any reasonable person conclude that there must be some truth to the rumor.
Well the CCP isn’t exactly known for being smart. Or good at anything at all other than oppression.
Lemmy.ml allows that image to be hosted there? I’m surprised.
Of course they do, it’s a picture of their glorious leader.
Am missing something about my chosen-on-a-whim instance?
It’s the instance run by the main Lemmy devs that happen to also be tankies. Read the modlog sometime, I’ve had some (imo) benign things removed from communities on there
What is a “tankie”? I’ve never heard of that before.
Leftists that praise and defend authoritarian communism and oddly enough oftentimes anything right wing too if it happens to be aligned against the west like Russia.
Egg fried rice is amazing though. It shouldn’t be censored any time of the year.
This is about as dumb as the Freedom Fries controversy.
The Wang Gang strikes again!
New groupchat name just dropped!
this guy must have pissed off the CCP somehow, so they’re going after him on social media… people aren’t organically complaining about this… this is definitely a government driven campaign against this guy… the complaints are just ludicrous, and specifically aimed at inflaming old tensions between the US and China… seriously, bringing up the death of some dipshit son of Mao during the Korean War on social media? nobody really gives a fuck about that idiot kid…
the CCP are just extorting money from this guy and this is how they go about it
This reeks of normal human stupidity.
nobody gives a shit about Mao’s idiot son who Mao sent out to die in the mud in Korea, just to get rid of him… nobody in China gives a shit about that, and nobody believes he was defending them against anything…
YouTube is banned in China, so anyone posting to it regularly from behind the great firewall is likely doing it with CCP approval in the first place. All of these channels are subtle propaganda in the “approved cultural exports” sense.
Til US airforce killed Mao’s kid.
Ccp got egg on their face here
