Isn't it funny to hear everyone whining about "Drill Here, Drill Now" after handing all the very rich mineral resources (including petroleum) of Africa to the Chinese?
I think the “normal” response would be to life.
But we have been so politically indoctrinated that we have to assume that the Chinese will (must!) be offended.
To our surprise, they seem to understand it’s just a joke.
(Jokes have become taboo in our PC culture; there’s no sense of humor about diversity!)
