China Bans Elephant Ivory

[The Brain]

Hello!

[Eddie Teach]

Even if this does work they'll just replace the ivory from a different animal. Gonna be a bad time to be a walrus.

Oh fuck. I am the walrus.

Goo goo g'joob.

Hope they actually follow through with it and do a good job of policing.
Stands as a good test of Chinese rule of law and anti-corruption work as well as being a great environmental move.

It is a good bet that Chinese rule of law is different from what you think

I'd be curious what you think the Chinese rule of law is like.

It is more like rule by law.  The leader, the rich and powerful, the party, those in charge etc are above the law.

I don't think that differs substantial from the mainstream view of China...?

Isn't it different from how the west understand the concept? 

[Josquius]

Yeah....  That sounds pretty much like how everyone believes China to be. Which I think odds are good is an image china would like to change.

[The Brain]

Please TRY to communicate. Jesus.

It is different from how the West understands the concept, yes - but it is not like there's been a dearth of coverage of how China functions and how it implements the rule of law.

[Valmy]

Well even if I had never read any coverage on China I have been reading your posts on the place for a decade plus Mono so I think I get it.

There are so many things that I want to convince you guys that I have so far failed

My father-in-law has one of these crazy multi-layered "ball within a ball within a ball" ivory balls.  Every individual ball is separate and movable.

My parents had one of those.  Mind boggling craftsmanship.
