Just finished watching the Grandmaster
Tried to watch them on Amazon prime but says they arenβt available? Have the guys said anything about this or when they will be available again? Thanks.
I just finished conquering Southern China after watching conquering Northern China last weekend on vimeo. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. I am a bit OOT, and iβm sure this question has been asked before, but are there plans to make another one of these any time soon, like one through somewhere like Vietnam, India, Central Asia, or anywhere else.
Well, in the north, they say "Once upon a time...and so on". A southern fairy tale starts if like this. "You Ain't Gonna Believe This Shit!!!!"

The other site is based in Northumberland near the border hence why Leeds is the southern site. My company uses compass directions as a way to distinguish sites on the project. Done that for years and everyone was fine with it until you say somewhere in Yorkshire is southern and then all hell breaks loose.
Everybody (rightfully) denounces the slavery that existed in the southern United States. But in order to understand why and how slavery came to be, we have to look outside of the south.
First off, the slaves that were brought to the United States weren't kidnapped by Americans or Europeans. Africans enslaved other Africans, and sold them all around the world; not just to America. Slavery has been happening in Africa, including their slave trade, since at least 500 BC; and slavery is STILL HAPPENING in parts of Africa. For some reason, this always seems to be overlooked when slavery is discussed. When cops catch a drug dealer selling drugs to a buyer, both of them go to jail. Africa should share the blame.
Even though the slaves were primarily in the southern states, the northern states benefited from the slavery. The northern states had a demand for cotton, tobacco, sugar, and other goods that were produced by slaves. Not only the demand, but wanted it cheap. Cotton was the primary resource, and the raw materials were then sold to the more industrialized northern states where the cotton would be transformed into fabrics and sold for profit. The north denounced slavery while simultaneously getting rich off of the fruits of slave labor.
I am in no way trying to diminish how awful slavery was, or to say that the south is innocent - far from it. The south was wrong for having slaves. But Africa was wrong to sell slaves in the first place. And the north was wrong to benefit from it, even if they were "anti-slavery". I think that people often coddle all Africans as being victims when that's clearly not the case. And people tend to praise the northern states for being anti-slavery while ignoring that the north was built with profits gained from slave labor.
I know how it goes. I do fine in the sun normally too. I'd work outside all day without sunscreen in Michigan or NY (That's not recommended either). BUT, believe me: You NEED sun protection in Florida. The UV is so extreme that you can be burned in shade. A personal anecdote I have is that I once worked on a film in Orlando on an overcast winter day with plenty of tents around and I got the worst sunburn of my life without ever feeling heat. It was years ago and my skin still shows a slight outline of the shirt I was wearing that day.
Basic message: DON'T think like me (I'll be fine, who cares...) DO look up UV indexes and prepare properly.
Map (Red is Republic, Yellow is Communist)
Let's say that neither side in the Chinese Civil War was able to win, but the Republicans were able to keep Southern China, with Nanjing, Shanghai and such, but then the Northerners are the Communist ones, having Beijing, Tianjin with them and such. Which of these are more powerful, and can it stay up long, or is another war needed in order to continue the peace in China?
How would this affect the Cold War, especially in Vietnam War and in Korean War? Would this improve things later on in the 21st century? What would happen to Hong Kong and Macau in this timeline? Would they be assimilated to the Southern Chinese, or will they be still be having their own rights as SARs? What will be their relations to the US and such? I would really like to find out based on your theories, gentlemen.

Are these available to buy in the UK? Amazon says they are not available in this region. Where can we watch these?
