              @raptormesh:

              vaguely Chinese

              The store page literally says "Monopoly - Chinese Lunar New Year Edition"

              Edit: This deal ALSO had "Chinese" in the title until it was edited (see post revisions)

            • @raptormesh: Don't assume for me.

              I'm replying to people denying it or trying to dismiss it with classic Chinese whataboutism shills

      We're on the side of the Hong Kong protestors. I guess they're racist too?

      I love how saying stuff like "only in America" is totally fine but pointing out the CCP's human rights violations is racist.

      • +6

        This is literally a post about Lunar New Year Monopoly, this board game has nothing to do with CCP.

        • My reply had everything to do with the thread I was replying to.

      ever since covid-19 everything made in China is being criticised including culture religion and local ABCs are Targeted

  • +13

    Price should be $8.88

    • If this was aimed for the Chinese market then they have no problems pricing it even $88.88. Most Chinese don’t mind overpay for things if the price has straight 8’s in them.

  • +15

    Looks like getting richer Chinese piss off lots of Australians. As long as a product is related to Chinese, lots of riotous comments down here. Well maybe the only thing to make them happy is Chinese should stay as poor and be a labor factory for them.
    You never seen they judge India, Laos, Myanmar, Indonesia like this. Maybe they will when India raise.

    • Is it because Chinese get richer or because they commit genocide and have no value for human life?

        Well, westerners do have very good point in accusing others committing "genocide"…and even celebrating the day they commit this crime…what a great value

    • +9

      Yep double standard it is

    • +4

      I can't see many people being upset about China becoming richer. If there are comments about Chinese buying Australian property, it's more so taking offence to the double-standard of the apparent ease at which Chinese can buy Australian property, vs. the apparent severe restrictions that Westerners face in buying Chinese property. And that may be an Aus Government issue.

      What I mainly see (apart from generalised joke comments), is people taking offence to China's recent very poor human rights record, evasiveness, and lack of transparency, which absolutely dwarfs Australia's own human rights problems (such as our immigration detention issues).

      • +1

        Well I understand your point of view. But human rights is a huge subjects. You never live in a poor and hungry environment. To many people in the world, to stay away from hungry is human right. To many east asian country, girls can stay aways from western whoremaster is human right. In those "democracy" countries, girls were force to be sex slave and I bet their "democracy" can't do anything in next decades.

        • There are poorer and hungrier countries in the world with much better human rights records than China. So that argument is not valid.

          Basic human rights are pretty much not subject to interpretation. Things like torture, slavery, arbitrary arrest/detention, equality before the law and impartial tribunals, freedom of movement, freedom of religion etc.

          I suggest you read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, of which China voted in favour for.

          • +3

            @ttam87: You grown up in a very lucky country, which huge amount of resources per capital, inherited fine British laws. So you don't know, it is still a crucial world. Lots of people are hungry and impossible to get educated. You give "vote" to a girl that due to be a sex slave, or a servant that is not human right. You educate her, make sure she is not hungry, she can choose what to do after she grown up, that is human right. Yes the stander is too low but to many countries, it's still something they cannot achieve.

            Ask difference countries of people that can come to Australia around you. What countries of people study in private school, which countries of people study in public school? Do they have servant back in their countries? What class of them back in their countries?

            You will be surprise that the "non human right" country did much better then the "human right" country.

            • @pandasrandomchoice: None of what you have said relates to the basic human rights that I've mentioned above. The CCP has immense wealth, control and power. They know exactly what they are doing and how they are treating their citizens. You know this.

              And there are many instances where they operate in contravention to the Basic Human Rights that they agreed to many years ago. You also know this. The CCP are highly educated and are not starving.

              How does hunger and education relate to the allegations of organised CCP torture, arbitrary detention, lack of freedom of movement for some, lack of freedom of religion for some, partiality in courts of law etc. It doesn't.

              • +2

                @ttam87: First, what you saying regards to CCP it happens to almost all countries. Why other countries were not attacked as much as CCP?

                Second, even the most "good human right" countries used to have bad human right history. Why don't people accept that it's just a side effect of a developing phase? China had much worse human rights 20 years ago, almost everyone believe China will be better 20 years later. A leap of human right is not going to do good to the country. Give me an example of good human right but poor country. Do you thing they have better future? is the human right sustainable, when people get less educated and poorer?

                If you watch Walking dead.You are like people living in Alexsandra. You are good people not you don't know how dangerous the outside word is.

                • @pandasrandomchoice: In 20 years the CCP will still be the same. In 20 years the CCP will still be demanding total loyalty to 'the party'. Disloyalty will continue to affect people's social status, opportunities, and yes… human rights.

                  Let's be clear, this is the result of a one-party government. And it is the intent of a one-party government.

                  It is the same in all countries with one-party governments, no matter how rich or poor they are. Russia (pseudo-one-party), Saudi Arabia and Iran are other examples, amongst many others.

                  So no… I don't believe for a second that in 20 years time, things will be different. Unless the CCP continues on its path to force everyone to be exactly how they want them to be, and ends up achieving that macabre goal.

                  • @ttam87: What a joke, don't PM in Australia need to declare be loyalty to one person, Which is queen of Britain. Is that a problem??
                    Things changes. You tell me be loyalty to a person or a party Which one is better

                    • @pandasrandomchoice: Our citizens dont have to have loyalty to the Queen or any party. And we aren't at threat of punishment for not doing and/or acting as such.

                      Having to have loyalty to the Queen or CCP are both terrible options.

                      Lets see if things change.

                    • @pandasrandomchoice: Your comparison is extremely bad.

                      Just face it, the CCP rule China with an iron-grip, your rights are restricted when you live there, and you have to do what the CCP want, otherwise your human rights will be violated further.

                      This is not a case of a poor country trying to develop. This is an economic powerhouse with a one-party rule.

                      • @ttam87: Why the example is bad?

                        Go back to 100 years ago. The Australian loyalty to British Queue is not just a ceremony, it was real. There was free Islander told Australian:

                        Just face it, the British rule Australia with an iron-grip, your rights are restricted when you live there, and you have to do what the British want, otherwise your human rights will be violated further.
                        This is not a case of a poor country trying to develop. This is an economic powerhouse with a one-queue rule.

                        Now from today's view, is it funny? After economic and civilization developed, the oath is just part of ceremony. After people get educated, like kids grown up, they can have what they suppose to have, the votes and freedom. But before that, give a kid freedom, let him drive before 16, is dangerous. That is the problem of most of developing countries have.

                        Look at all developed asian countries/econimics, which one was not fasting growing under dictatorship in phase one? The dictator KMD in Taiwan, The Miracle on the Han River under general Park Chung-hee, even the current singaport government by Lee family.

                        • @pandasrandomchoice: Are you trying to justify torture, death, arbitrary arrest, mass sirveillence, forced re-educaton, cultural genocide, dissapearance, lack of freedom of choice, no press freedom, no political freedom??

                          It is never justifiable. Even if a country gets rich from the blood, death and misery of its population while doing so.

        A very poor comparison. The blood that splashed at Tiananmen Square would be enough to fill the White House.

        • ok i guess the discussion would be folded anyway. yes, that's a fair point but if the Beijing gov was decisive like the white house and had forced the students to leave earlier before things went ugly, students and civilians wouldn't die.

      Haha yeah, weird that it started around the same time China threatened to obliterate Australia's economy for proposing an impartial, international investigation into the origins of a once-in-a-century global event that has significantly impacted the life of every human being on the planet. Probably a coincidence though.

        Yeah cool. But it's a monopoly board game.

        • I tried posting similar comments on Global Times articles but they shadowbanned me, so Ozbargain will have to do.

    • I'm all for some escapism but there is nothing wrong with calling out the bullshit in the world which causes people to suffer incredible amounts.

  • There is too much political talking. If you do hate China and support the independence of those China's territories, do something more seriously eg, donating money to Falun, and anti-China NGO, being a spy in China and facing a life sentence, leading a rebellious army in China and dying like a warrior.
    I admire you if you do so. Otherwise, you are just talking bullshit, nothing will change.

    • How about avoiding products and services from Chinese-owned companies, particularly those who engage in blatant IP theft? Will that earn your respect?

        You don't know if any CCP spies are working here and threatening them more aggressively.
        Like the Pro-China uni students in QLD and Syd to act against those students from HK last year and 2019.

        • personally, I don't like any kind of political movement or religion that is affiliated with politics or any individual who doesn't have a decent job but living on running protests.
          I don't see a problem with HK students and their movements but they should get a decent job to make a living. Same shame on CCP spies if it exists cuz I barely see any value in spying on ordinary HK people.
          Chinese students here just don't live on protesting. Their opinions are their beliefs and what they learned. I would treat it as a belief, which is the same as I never judge people from other backgrounds

          • @ToTheMoon: 'Get a job' - straight out of the ignorant conservative playbook that one. It's puerile, irrelevant, and uninformed tosh. Protesting for human rights has always been a thing with committed, idealistic students, for a range of reasons. HK protests were attended by tens of thousands of people with "decent" jobs in case you were wondering.

            You'd do well to look up the name Geoffrey Robertson and research his student years. His autobiography 'Rather His Own Man' covers his activism a student well. Better still, get a hold of one of his many of his books on the tyranny of human rights abuse and educate yourself.

        • Genocide can be accomplished in different ways although the accepted definition involves mass murder, which would be difficult to prove given the CCP's control. While you were apparently sleeping credible human rights orgs have been reporting sexual and physical abuse of ethnic minorities - as part of CCP policy - in parts of China. Of course that's on top of the forced labour and "re-education", aka as involuntary brainwashing. It will take you less than a minute to find myriad reports, and no more than half an hour to absorb a dozen or so of them.

          • @[Deactivated]: Well, you can ask this australian guy who work and live as a reporter at one of chinese media, ask him is there any mass murder or whatever you said.

            • @Barbequemilk: Not sure what point you're attempting to make. There is nothing at all in those links which attempts to find facts about the CCP's mistreatment of ethnics or its forced labour camps. Are you having trouble differentiating between credible sources or are you simply another poor defender of CCP policies? Burying your head in the sand will have the effect of blocking both your ears and eyes. While you're trying to absorb credible information about current human rights abuse by the CCP you may want to research what happened at Tiananmen Square (removed from Chinese official history) and during the the "Cultural Revolution". Alternatively you could simply ponder how YOU and your family would feel if you were on the receiving end.

          They aren't "my" important human rights issues, they OUGHT to be shared by everyone - including YOU. If you find such commentary uncomfortable then you might want to think about the lack of "comfort" of those being persecuted for no reason other than their different ethnicity, and not just in China by the CCP of course. 99% of deals have no politics or human rights discourse, your whinge about one which does is suggestive.
