They had CHINESE servants on their WARSHIPS? :dahell:



This is some next level colonizer move :wow:
I'm not even angry or appalled or anything like that.

Sometimes you can't help but smile at the machinations of white people. I at least give them points for consistency


This is insane but I don’t know why I’m surprised.

Why won’t they use their own impoverished/lower class Brits?
Cause that's not how colonization works :pachaha:


China will still feel the affects of the 1800s unequal treaties for centuries to come :wow:

All Chinese that leave China to work abroad are told to gather as much valuable information from their place of employment for the benefits of China.

That's why in the US Chinese college professors and other researchers in institutes are constantly charged with espionage and intellectual property theft..

This is a guess because the OP is a Chinese propagandist so we need more information, like salaries, benefits and actual number of Chinese nationals working on these ships.

Operating Aircraft carriers are expensive, that’s why most countries don’t build them because unless you are the USA with money to burn it doesn’t make sense financially and just like any immigrant job you can pay a lower wage.

Secondly, Britain historically has had a small native population so having to police a global empire the majority of its forces were made up of subjugated peoples. The British would typically assign ethnic groups by speciality. The Gurkhas the article refers to are actually considered some of the best soldiers in the world and have been used by the British in their armies for hundreds of years.

It’ll be interesting to see what incentives were offered these Chinese workers as Hong Kong has been a wealthy modern country for decades and serving months at a time on an aircraft carrier for low pay and shyt living conditions seems weird.



Personally I don’t see what the outrage is about. The only people this hurts are the people who are no longer employed. You guys are acting like these people were slaves or something lol.

Nepalese Gurkas(soldiers) have a long history of supporting the British Military. I agree with you though.

"The Brigade of Gurkhas is a unique organisation in the British Army with a reputation of being amongst the finest and most feared soldiers in the world. There are currently over 4000 Gurkhas employed in the Brigade of Gurkhas across many trades."
