More crazy gender benders in our athletic community. They can't even figure out the difference between a male and female.
It occurs to me that England and China have been in contact for centuries. Who had control over Hong Kong until they gave it up? What did they not give up perhaps? Contacts? Agents? Etc, etc? Think about that.
Sounds a lot like "Ka-ching" from a cash register.
Li Ka-shing
Sir Ka-shing Li (Chinese: 李嘉誠; born 29 July 1928)[3][4][5][6] is a Hong Kong billionaire business magnate, investor, and philanthropist.[7] He is the senior advisor for CK Hutchison Holdings[8] and CK Asset Holdings, after he retired from the Chairman of the Board in May 2018;[9] through it, he is an investor, developer, and operator of the largest health and beauty retailer in Asia and Europe.[10] In July 2023 Li was the 33rd richest person in the world, with an estimated net wealth of US$37.7 billion.[11] In the March 2024 Forbes list of The Richest People In The World Li Ka-shing was ranked 38th with a net worth of $37.3 billion.[12]
Li invests in a wide array of industries, including transportation, real estate, financial services, retail, and energy and utilities.[13] His conglomerate company Cheung Kong Holdings invests in many sectors of the Hong Kong economy and made up 4% of the aggregate market capitalisation of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.[14] Forbes Magazine and the Forbes family honoured Li Ka-shing with the first ever Malcolm S. Forbes Lifetime Achievement Award on 5 September 2006, in Singapore.[15] In spite of his wealth, Li has cultivated a reputation for leading a frugal no-frills lifestyle, and is known to wear simple black dress shoes and an inexpensive Seiko wristwatch. He lived in the same house for decades, in what has now become one of the most expensive districts in Hong Kong, Deep Water Bay in Hong Kong Island. Li is also a philanthropist, donating billions of dollars to charity and various other philanthropic causes, and owning the second largest private foundation in the world after Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.[16][17] In 2019, Forbes put Li in the list of most generous philanthropists outside of the US.[18][19][20]
Li was born in Chao'an, Chaozhou in Guangdong Province in 1928 to Teochew parents named Li Yun-ching (1898–1943) and Cheung Bik-chin (1893–1984). Li and his family fled to Hong Kong in 1940 as refugees from the Sino-Japanese war.[21] Owing to his father's death from tuberculosis, he was forced to leave school at the age of 15 and found a job in a plastics trading company where he worked 16 hours a day.[22] In 1950 he started his own company, Cheung Kong Industries.[23] From manufacturing plastics, Li developed his company into a leading real estate investment company in Hong Kong that was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1972. Cheung Kong expanded by acquiring Hutchison Whampoa and Hongkong Electric Holdings in 1979 and 1985 respectively.[24]…
…Through CK Infrastructure Holdings Limited, Li owns 75% of British water supplier Northumbrian Water, the remaining 25% being held by US private equity firm KKR. Despite losses of ~£22 million between March 2022 and July 2023, CK Group and KKR between them took £159 million in dividends from the organisation which in the same period paid its chief executive, Heidi Mottram, $1.24 million. In 2022 the business was fined £240,000 for discharging untreated sewage into a water course in northeast England over a period of two days.[44]

In March 2025, it is reported that CK Hutchinson Holding would sell Hutchinson Port Holdings and Hutchinson Port Group Holdings.[11] There are reports stating that the key buyer is the Aponte Italian shipping family, and “the crucial figure” is Diego Aponte, group president of Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), and chairman of the Terminal Investment Limited (TiL). Gianluigi Aponte, MSC's founder, was reportedly personally playing a role in brokering the potential deal.[12] TiL and BlackRock are consortium partners in the port deal.[13][14] This comes in the context of U.S. President Donald Trump denouncing Chinese influence over the Panama Canal and calling for the United States to reclaim control of the canal in some form or another.[15][16]

Ever see the shogun series? Traders from Europe in the asias. Long family ties to the ruling powers in asia. It's ALWAYS about money, power, and the control it gives it's holders.
Actually I was thinking of the movie Taipan, not Shogun.
Damn, my bad, the movie is called Noble house. It's a pretty good movie although quite long. Mini series.
Yeah, funny, that was my first guess too.
Rats abandoning ship.

What happens when you serve wine or whiskey before it's had time to mature? Patience grasshopper. Patience is a virtue.
Yo dingle berry. We in America have corrupt fuckers, are they part of the American "tribe?" Corruption knows no loyalties at all other than to money.
