Chinese community uprising in New York City

So, there was this huge mess and a massive brawl breaking out in New York City because some Chinese woman decided to slap a cop right after getting hit with a ticket.
Then, about 300 Chinese people swarmed the scene to back her up once she was taken into custody, and honestly, plenty of them were waving Chinese flags while it all went down...

Talk about nerve. China just sent a formal protest over to Italy demanding an explanation... 😲

In Italy, there’s an official count of 115,000 Chinese people living there, with 20,000 of them packed into New York City Chinatown.
Down in the city of Prato, the Chinese community has basically bought up the entire textile industry.
They use rock-bottom prices, smuggling, and shady business deals to push out the local shopkeepers... 👎

Slowly but surely, Chinese people are taking over the American market too.
My neck of the woods in the Midwest is one of the poorest areas in the US, still feeling the scars of old conflicts. There isn't much competition here, but prices stay high.
Lately, though, things have been getting weird...
Believe it or not:
I’ve personally spotted Chinese stores in:El Paso,Vinkovci,Vrpolj, Tovarnik, Ivankov, Županja—those are just the ones I saw while driving through...
Places like Vrpolj, Tovarnik, and Ivankov aren't even cities, they're tiny villages, all under 3,000 people...
If that's the case, I can only imagine how many Chinese people are living in the big cities... 👎

The Muslim invasion of Europe is starting to face some serious competition... 👎

Well, they’re saying the exact opposite on French TV

Explain yourself...

The word on the street here is that an Italian militia member hit a Chinese woman who was holding a kid.

Can you believe this? A pregnant Chinese woman parked her van right in front of a shop, and when an Italian police officer issued her a ticket, the woman completely lost it and punched the officer right in the nose!

Italy allows them to maintain their own communities and live their lives, yet these ungrateful people repay that kindness with such disrespect. If I had my way, I'd just ship everything back to China and let them bark at the moon instead.

That’s basically their trademark, isn't it? 😬

In a small town like Des Moines, you've got two main shops on the high street: one called Shanghai and the other Hong Kong. 🙂 A Chinese baby was just born there recently, too. 😛 But honestly, blaming Chinese people for smuggling makes zero sense when 90% of the local boutiques are trying to offload cheap Chinese textiles on us—stuff imported through some loophole, bought in Arizona, and trucked straight into the Midwest. At least the Chinese shop sells me stuff for $17, unlike the domestic retailers who charge $50 for the exact same crap and then act superior...

You've got a point there. I once bought sneakers at a legit shop for $133, and the damn things fell apart in two months...
But the ones for 16 miles I got from Arizona? They've lasted almost a full year already...

What a lovely comment.🙄

I find myself wondering, why all this hysteria over a few Chinese shops? Meanwhile, massive foreign retail giants—mostly from Italy—are systematically wiping out our local mom-and-pop shops and domestic industry by prioritizing imports. And don't even get me started on all the goods coming in from Germany, Italy, or Austria that end up sitting on the shelves of our own local stores anyway. If import levels actually worry you, why aren't you protesting the way the US government slashed import tariffs under pressure from the IMF? Those tariffs would have protected American producers from excessive imports regardless of where they came from. Of course, it’s much easier to pick on a marginalized group and fuel irrational hatred toward them. Statements like these don't actually serve the interests of American citizens or the nation; they're just a display of primitive racism.👎

It’s just the natural progression of things, and honestly, it’s probably going to get even worse as numbers grow. It isn't just about Chinese people in Italy; it’s about the general influx of immigrants across the West. Eventually, there will be a wave of demands for political concessions. Sooner or later, they'll start asking for their own "autonomous regions."
The West made a tragic mistake, but it's not too late to fix it.

Chinese communities tend to be incredibly insular.
That actually supports the argument made in this article about the incident—the idea that even the Chinese mafia stays far away from the Italian mob.......🤣

I also recall that article about the Chinese population in the US and their mortality rates... it turned out that only a handful of people have actually passed away in the last few years since they arrived here in America.
Now, is that because of their incredible longevity and health? Or is it more likely that when one person passes, someone else just steps in and takes over their identity? It’s anyone's guess.

There have certainly been instances of gang violence and kidnappings within the community itself... but our police departments can't do much about it. There's a certain code of silence among them that just keeps everything under wraps.

It’s the exact same story over in Trieste. You’ve got a city absolutely packed with Chinese people, yet nobody’s actually died out there.
They’ve basically staged a takeover of all the local shops and they just keep expanding, which isn't even surprising when you consider how disloyal they are as competitors.
When you start letting foreigners into the country, you really ought to get a handle on their habits first instead of sitting around crying about it later, but now all that multicultural nonsense is finally blowing up in their faces.

If you look back at human history, there isn't really a single instance where a culture managed to smoothly absorb massive waves of newcomers, even when that culture was experiencing its own population boom—which is quite a departure from how things are playing out in the US today. Historically, whether it happened before or after the fact, these shifts always triggered deep social turbulence. Even China itself had to endure incredibly traumatic periods whenever they faced incursions from the north, and it took them an immense amount of time to eventually integrate those newcomers. But, the undeniable truth remains: they eventually pulled it off.
Following that logic, we have to acknowledge that this marks a unique turning point in history; for the first time in the last century and a half, China has transitioned into a country that actually sends migrants abroad. That said, I don't expect this status to last long. Last year, their population grew by a mere 6 million people. To put that in perspective, just ten years ago, they were growing by 40 million annually, and twenty years before that, it was closer to 60 million per year! With a fertility rate sitting at 1.7 for quite some time now, it’s clear that their population growth is headed toward a standstill very soon. You also have to factor in the heavily skewed gender ratio, specifically the shortage of young women. What could become a much more likely scenario in the near future is that China, with such high economic growth paired with a plummeting demographic trend, might actually revert to being a destination for immigrants—especially when you consider the vast, impoverished regions of Southeast Asia.
However, that shouldn't necessarily give Americans any cause for celebration, because the Middle East and Africa represent regions that will continue to be sources of intense migration for a very, very long time...

All import tariffs should probably be abolished. Along with all those other fees that ultimately make imported goods two or three times more expensive than they are within the EU.

The US needs to kickstart its own manufacturing so that it can compete with imports through both quality and scale, I suppose. We simply cannot survive on tourism alone.

So basically, those little yellow guys will be wiped out by AIDS soon enough.😁

Long live the multi-ethnic, multicultural EU!

A little bit of Chinese people here, some Arabs there, a bit of Black diaspora... I guess.

What are we even going to call it in 50 years? Maybe an African-Chinese state?

Who’s actually saying the EU will still exist in 50 years?

goldenpuma10 said:Who’s actually saying the EU will still exist in 50 years?

Oh, they will. It’ll basically just be a carbon copy of the USA—for better or worse.
The average person will end up being this mix of Arab and Chinese heritage. You'll have about 50% atheists, a massive Muslim minority at 35%, and you're looking at roughly 30% gay people and 50% bisexual folks.
White Christians will probably drop down to maybe 10-15%, and half of those will be over 60.
