Would China allow a foreign company to in install its communication systems?
“DON’T TRUST THE CHINKS”—repeat as often as necessary.
.............did I mention that they are NOT to be trusted?
I accept that we can’t trust the Chinese or any Communist government, but did you have to use a racial slur?
