I remember the debate some rando fox journalist had with an anchor for CGTN where the anchor stated in the beginning that she is not part of the communist party and her opinion doesn't reflect the party line and the fox channel lady just keeps referring her as a communist party member

Choiner, mate

The Office. I never watched either version but supposedly the English version was a flop.

I was half joking, the British shows are usually pretty good in their own right, but there are a lot of successful American shows based on British ones (as well as a few flops). Whether they’re “better” is subjective, but it’s a longstanding phenomenon.

The Office is the best example, but there are others. Three’s Company and its spin-offs were based on a British series. Sanford and Son, as well. Veep was made my the same creative team as The Thick of It and is a clear spiritual successor. American Idol was based on Pop Idol, the latter only ran two seasons while the former is still going.

Some British shows stand on their own, even if remakes are attempted. The IT Crowd, Red Dwarf, they tried like three different shows to try unsuccessfully to recapture the magic of Fawlty Towers.

Regardless, without British television, American television wouldn’t be the same, and without American television, most people would never have heard of most British television.

Either way, death to America and Britain as per usual.

That was Chinese only, British sent a spy in China to steal the secrets of Tea harvesting and brought it in Darjeeling which is now called the Darjeeling tea worldwide.

Ah yes, the vast fields of tea plants that grow in Yorkshire...
