“I know this ain’t much, but you should see our holiday home in Te Puke, Hawaii.”
” Nǐ hǎo Mr. Luxie Yīnjīng Tóu
Try your lies on me and I’ll break this f# arm of yours, understand ? “
Don’t worry, there’s no bottom feeders around here!
” Nǐ hǎo Mr. Luxie Yīnjīng Tóu,
I hope our ‘ Belt and Road Treaty ‘ is still intact? We’re looking forward to our naval base and receiving NZs REEs “.
Gomez and Morticia are looking for pyjama game players.
Haha, that’s brilliant!
Welcome we appreciate you coming to our help. As you can see though we are not short of food my wife persists in starving herself, it is a nervous complaint called anorexia. Further she dresses herself in skimpy rags as a sign of compassion for those suffering in Gaza, and refuses to cut her hair till war is over in the world. So you see we are ready for peaceful parley.

NZ PM leans down to shake my hand like a fisher leans to see his catch; they are connected. What if fish reverses the position and grasps the catcher. I have hold on his arm, symbolically of course. Sun Tzu would rate this I think.
” If we stand above you like this it should trickle down, right?”
We Chinese have a very old civilisation and developed a scholarly tradition. I speak English and have read widely concerning politics for instance Machiavelii, *Joseph Needham also the background to The Opium Wars. We have long memories and learn. It would be a word to the wise if Mr Luxon remembers that, if he ever knew it.
The First Opium War broke out in 1839. It is called the ‘Opium War’ because of one of its major causes: the British were smuggling opium from their Indian colonies into Chinese ports against the wishes of the Chinese government.
