Lunar-Melt Island: Nobody In China

Nobody In China

If I hear the phrase "Taiwan, which Beijing considers a renegade province" one more time- I'm going to start blogging about it.

The way the Chinese happily throw that phrase around so often, you would think that NOBODY in China has seen Star Wars- a notion that seems ridiculous at first, but then becomes very, very plausible.
Let's break it down for them.
Transmission to China: The "REBEL" Alliance WINS.

Comparisons-

Taiwan, Luke

Hong Kong, Leia

Corrupted KMT, Vader

Communist China, Palpatine

Japan, R2D2

The UN, The Wookiee Army

Stay Tuned...
