====== kahing ======

[[hall of infamy|Banned]] member, characterized for being pro-CCP and pro-Communist China and very anti-American, he is known for [[trolls|his bashing]] of the Free Tibet and Falung Gong movements and an inexplicable fixation on bananas.

==== Claims to Fame ====

He had a conflict with [[offtopic:kasumigenx|kasumigenx]], because of [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=205115|his thread]] about [[Taiwan]] being a Settler colony and his thread about a Scramble for [[China]] or Annexation of parts of China. Kahing then spouted this famously bizarre angry retort :

[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-4831465|"What is troll? You are western propoganda fucker, spread anti-China propoganda on Internet. China need not democracy, need not throwing banana."]]

Though he was promptly banned after that, AH.com [[running jokes|embraced his quote as a meme]] and uses it on a regular basis ever since (especially when jocularly discussing issues related to the occasional diplomatic posturing of the [[China|PRC]]).

Recent research shows that this quote was possibly based off an incident in 2008 where [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Wong_%28politician%29#Banana_throwing_incident|bananas were thrown at a Hong Kong politician]] in protest of a proposed raise in retirement pensions (nicknamed "fruit money").

Several images of the Throwing Banana meme exist: 
  * [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/attachments/148805/|the basic version]]
  * [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/attachments/148808/|the Honkey Kong version]]
  * [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/attachments/175941/|the propaganda poster version]]

Kahing had a successor/sockpuppet/lovechild named Fred and, lately, another one, Kandranos Crotos.
