China's Crybully Tactics

Hey Laowinners! 

On a serious note... 

Mao almighty... this has been a very hectic week. From personal and family issues, to massively difficult transition teething problems, and the added challenge of trying to diversify, we have been working severe overtime with all kinds of things involving our ADV Media business, and trying to balance our new projects, filming and editing. 60+ hour work weeks are not fun at all, and YouTube and it's advertiser caveats haven't treated us very kindly, so thank you all again so much for your generosity and supporting what we do.

All I want to do is spend time with my family and friends, maybe have a dinner with Winston and Sasha and the wife and kids, but alas...  no such luck with the amount on our plates...

It's been very helpful to have the parents in law over during this tough time. I don't have to babysit them anymore, and I'm sad they are leaving...

In today's early release,  we discuss how China uses something called "Crybully Tactics" to push its weight around the world. 

There have been strange trends in how China tries to pull at the heartstrings of foreigners, and one of the newer ones is how it keeps getting "it's feelings hurt" when someone points out that Taiwan is it's own country, or doesn't include it on a map when showing China on a T-Shirt. Even liking a tweet about Tibet is enough to get China's panties in a bunch, and instead . of just punishing its own people, China has taken a very brash approach in punishing foreign companies by pitting its populace (brimming with nationalist fervor these days) and economic policies against all that "seek to offend or hurt the feelings of the Chinese people".

I feel like there are very few countries in the world that would literally take to the streets to say "We Love You Huawei".

That's like me taking to the streets of New York after China banned American beef and holding up a sign that says "We Love You American Beef Industry".

It's comical, but also worrying me how much impact China's "hurt feelings" and fragile ego have an effect on international business and trade. 

I am of course only referring to the Chinese government and its policies.

On Laowhy86, I hope you enjoyed my video 5 Things I HATE About My Chinese Wife

It's funny how many people you can see in the comments that are new to the videos, because they miss the tongue in cheek humor in the video, as they are completely unaware with how close me and Vivi's relationship is. Either way, I made a fun little photo of me "sleeping on the couch" to stoke their fury.

Appreciate each and every one of you.

Much love,
C-Milk, Vivi, Liv and Luc
