The RED in Red China

StealthRabbit · 08-10-20, 02:06 AM

So when did Red China stop being Red China? They are still Communists, if not classic Communists, right? And there still called China Right? (quickly looks at a map) Yep, still called China. So when did we stop calling them Red China and why? Did they get some publicity firm to do a public relations blitz for them at the U.N. to re-brand them as just China back in the 70's or something? I find it strange that just for no apparent reason everyone just stopped calling them Red China. Maybe I find it strange because I am a child of the Cold War when you where "Better Dead then Red" which I still believe by the way.

I am going to bring back Red China. From now on I will only call them Red China whenever and wherever I refer to them.

Who's with me? Come on, we can do it, we CAN bring back the RED in Red China.

Perhaps it's called China because that's the country's name? Wild idea, I know.

Mr. Smarty in German press recently said they are "authoritarian capitalists" now, different to"liberal capitalism" in the West.

Well China does not have much to do with communism like in the Mao days, so why red? Because they themselves call it so and have red flags?
Even one more reason to not call them so..

Maybe we can call it Dictatorship of China (too long) or Xi-Ping-China

An old joke:

"What do you think about Red China?"...

"I dunno..looks good on a white tablecloth?..."

Red China? Send a B2 and write Coca Cola onto it.

Shouldn't we at least get the opinions of folks in Kampuchea, Ceylon, Saigon, Constantinople, and Zaire before we start calling it "Red" China again?

I prefer ChiComs. Short and descriptive. Not a pejorative. Allows one to differentiate between them and the Nationalist Chinese currently holed up in Taiwan (Formosa).
