Was just reviewing some Q posts and answers on https:// qcodefag.github.io/. In the post from Q on Nov 6, >>148287184 Q posted a picture

https:// archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/148286642/#148287184

Does anyone remember if there was any posts on the relevancy of the picture?

Maybe I am overlooking something but I find nothing on that.

On a hunch I checked the name of the pic: 'CH_Navy_Bund.jpg' and found this:

 

"The Bund was the most famous and spectacular street in Asia in the days of Old Shanghai, a symbol of its central role as a financial centre and the headquarters of all the major firms involved in the China trade.

 

When the foreigners arrived, it was a towing path with a wide foreshore, covered or uncovered according to the state of the tide and its wide open space was secured, not from any aesthetic sense, but because of the necessity of leaving a path for the trackers. From time immemorial, trackers had used the tow path along the shore of the Whangpoo River and the Chinese authorities in the first Land Regulations issued by them reserved this right. A space of of 30 English feet was to be reserved between buildings erected on the foreshore and the edge of the river. Foreigners, therefore, when putting up their buildings on river lots, drove in piles to that distance in front of each lot, and filled it in.

 

The last of the old bungalows facing The Bund, that belonging to Dent and Company, on the corner with Kiukiang Road, was sold and torn down in 1915."
