FUCK YOU CHIP TSAO! - HK JOURNALIST SLUR FILIPINOS.

FUCK. THIS IS NOT SATIRE. YOU BE CAREFUL, YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL NEVER BE SAFE UNTIL YOU BEG FOR OUR FORGIVENESS

War At Home
Chip Tsao

The Russians sank a Hong Kong freighter last month, killing the seven Chinese seamen on board. We can live with that—Lenin and Stalin were once the ideological mentors of all Chinese people. The Japanese planted a flag on Diàoyú Island. That’s no big problem—we Hong Kong Chinese love Japanese cartoons, Hello Kitty, and shopping in Shinjuku, let alone our round-the-clock obsession with karaoke.

But hold on—even the Filipinos? Manila has just claimed sovereignty over the scattered rocks in the South China Sea called the Spratly Islands, complete with a blatant threat from its congress to send gunboats to the South China Sea to defend the islands from China if necessary. This is beyond reproach. The reason: there are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as $3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. As a nation of servants, you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.

As a patriotic Chinese man, the news has made my blood boil. I summoned Louisa, my domestic assistant who holds a degree in international politics from the University of Manila, hung a map on the wall, and gave her a harsh lecture. I sternly warned her that if she wants her wages increased next year, she had better tell every one of her compatriots in Statue Square on Sunday that the entirety of the Spratly Islands belongs to China.



Grimly, I told her that if war breaks out between the Philippines and China, I would have to end her employment and send her straight home, because I would not risk the crime of treason for sponsoring an enemy of the state by paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day. With that money, she would pay taxes to her government, and they would fund a navy to invade our motherland and deeply hurt my feelings.

Oh yes. The government of the Philippines would certainly be wrong if they think we Chinese are prepared to swallow their insult and sit back and lose a Falkland Islands War in the Far East. They may have Barack Obama and the hawkish American military behind them, but we have a hostage in each of our homes in the Mid-Levels or higher. Some of my friends told me they have already declared a state of emergency at home. Their maids have been made to shout “China, Madam/Sir” loudly whenever they hear the word “Spratly.” They say the indoctrination is working as wonderfully as when we used to shout, “Long live Chairman Mao!” at the sight of a portrait of our Great Leader during the Cultural Revolution. I’m not sure if that’s going a bit too far, at least for the time being.

  3. I am scrapping all future travel plans to Hong Kong after the racial slur of Chip Tsao. Every Filipino is encouraged to do the same. Travel in the Philippines instead. Let us not spend our money on the HK economy.

    MANILA, Philippines – I crossed the line.

    This was the admission of the HK Magazine columnist who branded the Philippines as a “nation of servants," a report over dzBB radio said Wednesday morning.

    DzBB’s Hong Kong correspondent Corazon Cañete said that Chip Tsao issued a public apology Tuesday night, which was aired over ATV’s 7:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts. ATV is a private television network.

    "The ’servant’ is a sacred term. A Hong Kong government official is a civil servant. We are all servants to God, right? I’m now aware that I’ve crossed the line and I offer my public apology," Tsao was quoted as saying.

    Cañete reported that only Tsao’s voice was heard while a file photo and a file video of him were shown.

    In “The War at Home" piece published in HK Magazine last March 27, Tsao wrote that the Philippines was unworthy of claiming the Spratly Islands from China because the former is a "nation of servants."

    The article said that there are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as HK$3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. "(And) as a nation of servants, you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter."

    On Monday, Asia City Publishing House issued an apology for "any offense" caused by Chip Tsao's article but defended the column as satirical, saying it could be read "in different ways."

    Tsao's column sparked outrage among non-government organizations and lawmakers in the Philippines, with Parañaque City Rep. Roilo Golez even calling for a boycott of Hong Kong and Hong Kong products over the incident for a period between six months to one year.

    The Bureau of Immigration also blacklisted Tsao over the incident.

    Despite Tsao’s apology, the Filipino community in Hong Kong might still push through with their planned protest on Sunday against his supposed derogatory column, according to Romulo Salud, labor attache of the Philippine consulate general in Hong Kong.

    “Palagay ko matutuloy ang malawakang rally diyan. Ihahanda nila sa Linggo [I think they will still proceed with the rally, which they are readying for this Sunday]," Salud said in a separate interview on dzBB radio.

    But Salud said he has yet to meet with Philippine consulate officials to discuss their next action following Tsao’s apology. Salud said they will issue a statement later in the day. - GMANews.TV

  10. If we follow his logic, he is giving his fellow Chinese a great disservice since Chinese coolies were imported by the Americans to work in menial and dangerous jobs like building railways etc and the same in Australia where they were imported to work on mines for two bowls of rice a day!
