“It would be completely misguided for Britain to view China as a competitor… what do China and Britain compete with?”

The British government should not “overestimate its impact on the global scene,” spokesperson for the [Communist Party of China], Victor Gao, tells [British propagandist].

Translation: You’re too irrelevant for us to even view you as a competitor. You produce nothing.

    The Office. I never watched either version but supposedly the English version was a flop.

      Wow really? I prefer the original version. The original was very dry, and then Steve Carell… I like his comedy, but he just turned the show’s comedy into more Steve Carell comedy. It didn’t capture the original’s dry wit at all.

        I can’t comment on it I just heard that the ratings weren’t great. Which makes sense if you consider that Office UK had 2 Seasons and Office US had 9.

        This of course doesn’t necessarily speak about the quality of content.
