Yes, these are our Z9s exported to Mali on 2000, poor maintenance, I doubt they can even fly. the tricycle is also a made in China as well, but they are not French Army's property, but rather belongs to Mali government.

JBS Haldane, Galbraith, Anne Besant, Sister Nivedita, Ma of Auroville, Hume who founded the Congress Party, and so many others who were foreigners thought like Indians! Mark Tully is the latest.

Now, now, don't be unkind.

All Chinese people have to be addressed as Tongzhi.

You won't be banned, we are a very understanding society here in India. We understand that you cannot be but Tongzhi since that is how you are!

Comrade!

China has a history of being tolerant to homosexuality. Confucianism doesn't condemn homosexuality as some religions do. Homosexuality has been documented in China since ancient times. In the Song dynasty it was considered fashionable for both men and women. Several emperors reportedly kept male consorts. Homosexuality was common enough in the 19th century for a English emissary to remark that "many of the first officers of the state seemed to make no hesitation in publicly avowing it." In the 20th century the renowned scholar Kang Youwei proposed same sex marriages. See Han Dynasty Emperor Ai.

Some have suggested that maybe Cao Xueqin, the 18th century novelist and author of Dream of the Red Chamber , arguably China's most famous book, might have been gay. The book details a number of sexual trysts involving members of both the opposite sex and the same sex. Most of the hundreds of characters in the novel are women, delicately sketched with details so sensitive that, in the opinion of some, only a man of homosexual orientation could fathom. In A Dream of Red Mansions, there is only one man who is seriously into women, and he is a clown and bully.

The hints of homosexuality in other famous works of literature. In Romance of Three Kingdoms, men would never give up their 'brothers' but don't seem to care that much about their wives. In Outlaws of the Marsh, the heroes go one step further: they kill their adulterous wives, concubines or beaus and escape to this mountain retreat where everything looks like a martial arts version of a gay resort.

Queer China, 'Comrade' China (2008), directed by Cui Zi'en, China's most prolific queer filmmaker, presents a comprehensive historical account of the queer movement in modern China. Unlike any before, this film explores the historical milestones and ongoing advocacy efforts of the Chinese lesbian and gay community. A Shanghai Timeout Review of Cui Zi'en's Zhi Tongzhi ("Queer China, Comrade China") goes: Espousing a more traditional form, and dividing the film in seven chapters, Cui covers incredible ground in a relatively short amount of time (60 minutes). Fact-filled, yet fun-filled, Cui's film pays homage to all the tongzhi warriors, male or female, prominent or unknown, who are bringing about what Li (Yinhe) describes as a major sexual revolution.

The above was OT but it was necessary to prevent Cinoti and Satish 007 from recreating the Warring period from the Chinese history on DFI.
