Yes, very selfish behavior.

Sui/Han are sure not in their best condition since Han did a surgery last year and skipped all previous tournaments. I believe they could be better after more practice this season. But still I think Russian's PCS are always higher than what I expected. Not only for Chinese, but also for Japanese in ladies. But there are no Japanese fans here, I don't know what they think about the PCS difference between Anna Scherbakova and Rika Kihira.

Chinese fans always joking that Russian and USA(referring Nathan Chen) are granted extra nationality scores and their PCS are always higher than expected. Too upset to get sleep on the 5am in the morning.

Can't believe that the Russian new pair's Program Component Score is just 1 point behind Sui/Han and then win the championship. Their technique is really good but it's their first time and I gotta say their overall presentation is not worth that much PSC.

It depends on their ice dancing. The pair really surprised me with big progress.

Chen is in but feel sad about French girl's injury

Hong Kong are sitting on the couch watching the match and busy calling to China to let them in.

I understand after the trial begins Trudeau can't do much, he can't meddle in the case. But it's his call to detain Ms Meng at the very beginning. This is the start of the story. The whole explanation you said is well known by most educated Chinese. But it just don't justify the move. Because this case is not an economic crime, it's a political battle between US and China. The name of crime is that US forbids any enterprise doing business with Iran but Huawei did and then US could ask Canada detain its CFO. Don't use beautiful wording to explain the rule of order. Use common sense to think Should Canada get involve this case? Does it sound like a case or political trap?

But as a politician like Trudeau have to understand politics is not calling for help from media and asking for signatures. All these moves are extremely naive in China's eyes. China don't believe in American-style "law and order" and believe in tit for tat retaliation. As a politician he should be aware of it and make decision based on this. NK is just an example, never mind.

Not exactly. Canada is not among those countries conquering China during 19th century. And China has a long period of time keeping peace with Canada. If looked back to the 19th century, Russia is the no.1 enemy who invaded China most land and helping separate Mongolia out of China in WW2. But still China and Russia are very close right now because of the geopolitical reality.

Let's assume China and North Korea have extradition treaty and North Korea sanctions Air Canada because it does business with USA. And North Korea ask China to extradite the CFO of Air Canada during his/her business trip in China. So what will China do? Will China proactively get involved into this shithole? Let's be clear. Canada is not the first US ally asked for extradition but the first did it. Is the country ignored the extradition lawless and US sent bomb there?

Why don't you mention the origin of the drama? Who the hell start the arbitrary detention game? Is the law of US is bible but other country's law is toilet paper?

Best National Team goes to Estonia Men's Epee. They pull Egypt out by critical 8 points. If China grab the quota tomorrow regardless of the type, we have to say a big thank you to Estonia.

I just did the same calculation with same answer. Time to watch Hungary vs China now. We may be competitor for the +1 World quota.

Extremely messy. I am also busy calculating different outcomes for China get Asian quota. Don't forget one likely outcome. Egypt is very likely dropped out of 16. It depends on Spain, Germany and Estonia.

BTF is supposed to release the world quotas reallocation to Asia/Oceania and Africa today. Does anyone have information about that? I couldn't search out related news.

I don’t think it targeted Indonesian. On the contrary it exploded how bad the English committee to organize a tournament. The committee should feel ashamed that it became such a mess. But Indonesian players are innocent victims indeed especially Jonathan defeated the talented Thai play in the first round.

Why so serious? It doesn't count Olympic points after all and many good players already withdrew.

Can I edit prediction of Men's free skating and overall after short program finished and before free skating started? Or I have to finish all prediction before March 24, 10:00?

Big congrats to Gu Ailing who won 2 gold medals and 1 bronze medal in a single world championships. Looking forward to seeing her matches in my city Beijing next year.

Started with American backed protests and rebels in the name of democracy. Ended with 380,000 dead, European refugee crisis and Brexit while US adopted Muslim visa ban.

I only watched Nomadland because its Chinese director. The atmosphere and the performing skill are definitely gorgers. I like this movie but I still think it overrated. The story itself is very much predictable and sorta over political correctness for me. Just like the B-side of the Green Book. And also congrats Better Days representing Hong Kong nominated by Best International Feature Film. It's a very good movie about school bullying and teenagers' love and responsibility. The main actress's performing captured every viewer's heart. I highly recommend it for you guys. Below is the trailer.

Avatar is currently on play in China again due to lack of new movies. I guess China would contribute another 35M-40M USD in this round of re-releasing. The next round of re-releasing in April is Lord of the Rings 1,2,3.

Also a pass card for us
