Clarify Chinese nature

| May 11, 2018 at 3:47 | comment | added | Nij | It's autonomous under Beijing and on the mainland of the landmass, so it's at least not totally wrong and a suitable shorthand. @Antzi | |

| May 10, 2018 at 22:34 | comment | added | Nij | Because it's neither relevant nor accurate (and arguably not even true) to the majority of uses, let alone this one. Especially since Hong Kong is very definitively capitalist under the terms of its return to Chinese possession, at least until 2046, describing it as you did has no legitimate purpose except association of a communist political system with the ease of committing financial crime in other jurisdictions, and perpetuating historic USA-centric red scare. | |

| May 10, 2018 at 21:27 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @nij I hardly invented the term, it was the proper name I was taught in a quality, liberal prep school. Can you explain why you think it is political and/or a dogwhistle? To whom would it be so? | |
| May 10, 2018 at 21:08 | comment | added | Nij | "mainland China" is the term used to distinguish the jurisdiction from Taiwan. The government has nothing to do with it, the location does. So whether it's Taipei, Beijing, Hong Kong or a little rock in the middle of the ocean, the political note is unnecessary. | |
| May 10, 2018 at 21:01 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @nij don't read politics into it. That's the term you use to distinguish the Beijing government from the Taipei government. Hong Kong is no longer in the UK, it was made part of communist China. | |
| May 10, 2018 at 20:38 | comment | added | Nij | Libertarian Somalia and capitalist UK are out of regulatory reach of the SEC as well. What has the political dogwhistle to do with anything? | |
