when talking with a friend via im about western countries' "oil discrimination" on china, i.e. the accusations that china is developing relations with "hooligan" countries for oil, he used a rude joke to explain his views:
they have chased "street meat" when they were poor, now they can afford nicer hookers and grabed all of them, and they start to lecture us on how dirty those "street meats" are?
sorry for the rude language, but i find it reveals quite a lot of the sentiment on the oil politics here and, the joke is concise and colorful, isn't it?
