This isnt quite a fair comparision. It ignores the
massive difference
in population. Britain is about 50 million people out of over a
billion english speakers. Mainland China is over a billion chinese
speakers out of a populaiton of one point something billion speakers.
My point is that rather than shying away from it, I think the "FUCK THAT"
in response would be audible from orbit.
