a metaphor for China's cultural implacability? I say why not.

"China's cultural implacability" seems wrong. China may be implacable, but not culturally, I don't think.

I mean ... John Woo? Wire fighting ala Crouching Tiger? What cultural exports does China actually have? Besides Happy Meal toys of course.

Who the fuck is this anonymous user #2? I'll cut them with the knife I made myself. You can watch, Goats. But not the rest of you. The rest of you need to type implacable into a muthafucking dictionary and then tell me it doesn't apply to that fucking fake-garden-palace-making muthafucka China. And I'm not talking about the PRC. Fuck those new-money-having bitches. We're talking about CHINA! Invisible-city empire shit. Over 3000 years of beautful tradition and what have you. The rock upon which our contemporary trends weather at a geologic pace--in an implacable manner, I'd go so far to say. And so forth.

In summary, I'm all for switching nouns and adjectives into adjectival forms of said nouns and prepositional phrases as a means to characterize a noun. But just not my own.

They only ever invented gunpowder and paper money. Weak out-of-date sauce.

I know about China because although I've never been there, I've gleaned a general experience via The Amazing Race and Sinclair.

Wait, is the Goats the anonymous user? How Barthian of you.

Oh postmodernism--is there anything it can't do?
