(I'm not saying he edits his own page too, but I will say that an account called 'Ccpvid19' added the politician infobox & did some of the early editing (alongside a non-logged in user w/ a QLD IP).

'Ccpvid19' has only ever edited one page - Drew Pavlou - & also uploaded some other pics of him.)

Anyway, while Mumford & Sons, The Spectator, Chen, Winston Aubrey Aladar deBalkan Marshall, his Da, his Da's other outlet GB News, & being right-wing in general are all bad things, the most damning thing on this list is - for sure - being a banjo player.

For half a decade I let these people convince me I was evil, immoral, stupid, corrupt, for posting about my life in China.

To see them then turn a blind eye to the celebration of genocide & the attacking of it's victims stings.

Not one of them have called this out. The only slight acknowledgement was to attack me for doing so when I pointed out that no one had questioned him calling murdered Palestinian children 'dead niglets' & calling rape victims 'porn stars'. Since then, nothing.

Plenty of moralizing, just not on Buki

Ancient rune or chicken foot?

All will be revealed come the end of the year with my '100 tracks of the year' countdown.

For now, I have about 9 or 10 albums on the waitlist & a preliminary 128 tracks that deserve to be in the top 100.

I'm fairly sure I know what will be no.1 though

Hmm, I wonder if it's the same people who run the one in nearby Suzhou? If so, it's one of my favourite restaurants in the country. If not, great! A new place to try!

Next time I'm in Shanghai I'll head there for sure

A final word on the scene - one of the most wonderful things about China is that, by sheer scale, whatever you're into, you'll find a vibrant scene full of passionate & talented people that really care about what they do.

Indeed, we ate at Beijing's Vege Tiger 素虎 buffet in Qianmen for Christmas this year - 130 vegan dishes, only 78rmb, & decent quality too!

There is also a surprising number of vegan buffets, again in most cities. These, too, vary in price, scope, & quality.

I used to go to a 10rmb (recommended) one run by buddhists in Hohhot that provided free food to the poor & only used an honesty box for payment, though I'd obviously pay extra

Some of my favourite dishes ever have come from these type of places, though they're usually reserved as a treat.

The 锅包'肉' from the afformentioned Hohhot place

The 松鼠鳜'鱼' from Lotus in Suzhou.

The 叉烧'肉' from Fortunate Cafe in Shanghai
