I was told that westerners can't cook and that southern barbecue isn't real cooking.

Then they served spaghetti that had been boiled for 25 minutes and wondered why Italians like this stuff.

So the fake daughter got two degrees and has a sweet job? The correct thing is to get all the identity papers and have them reissue the degree certificates and change the bank acount the money goes to. I mean, in this case gently caress everyone except the girl who lost her identity.

Every Chinese diplomat when dealing with any other nation is thinking in the back of their heads, "we've had civilization for 5,000 years. We'll be here 5,000 years from now."

When you fill America and Europe with people who can do little more than pick fruit, you're going to have a really loving bad time when poo poo hits the fan.

China is going to sweep every other nation so loving badly in 100 years because of just how badly the marxist ideology will fail.

If they can't understand their stupidity from someone who can speak limited Mandarin, then they are just going to assume that you are a crazy person and will never put two and two together. I've literally gotten to the point where the next step was to "draw a picture" to explain a problem to a Chinese person, and they still didn't get it. Cognitive dissonance/pig-headedness/outright stupidity is so firmly entrenched in the culture that most of the people would not understand it even if their parents put on a puppet show to explain it to them.

The worst instance was also with the person who should have had the best chance to understand the situation...

For some inexplicable reason, there was a mainlander guy going through teacher's college at my university, and he was in my class. Near the end of the semester I got stuck in a group with him and he did absolutely nothing except post the Wikipedia page on our topic and try and boss around a Canadian born ethnic Chinese girl who was also in the group (she was having none of that). When it was all done (and we had to fix his "contribution" to the group's paper) we had to do a presentation. Given that he didn't know how to really speak or write in English, naturally he wanted to present the project to the professor and the class because he was afraid that he was not going to get a fair share of the credit/grades.

We explained the following to him:

"You don't have a clue what the project is about"
"You are obviously nervous when public speaking"
"You can't really speak English"
"You can't possibly field questions posed by the professor/students"
"Also you did absolutely no work and we all had to cover for you, and we won't have time to do that if you try the same poo poo with the presentation"

Dude was super-pissed, but he couldn't really do anything about it, and got even more pissed when the Chinese-Canadian girl ended up presenting because she had a really nice speaking voice* and was really animated and comfortable in front of people. After hearing all of this, and knowing full well that he would not only be sinking the group, but himself as well, he would still rather go down in flames than admit his idea was bad and he was wrong.

Calling Vietnamese food fusion food is really misleading IMO. It's just Vietnamese food and sometimes they make a sandwich. The influence of the frogs on Viet cooking is almost always grossly overstated.

I think the class issue might be it. Living in Northern Ontario means I don't have many Asian women in my circle of friends and coworkers, so I came to that conclusion from my time in university. Are elocution lessons a real thing that China born parents might get for their kids?

The first state owned Chinese company upon which state bonds were based, to go bankrupt and not recover, was liquidated about a week ago. Other Chinese companies have failed in similar fashion but none that were tied so directly into the state banking system.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-20/metals-producer-chinas-first-state-owned-company-liquidate-bankruptcy

There were a lot of questions about whether or not the company would be allowed into bankruptcy and a lot of questions now have to be resolved about what it means when a publicly/privately owned business concern dies in China.

Of course any regular reader of this thread already knows that what will happen is all the middle to small guys being burned alive for the sake of a few majority holders, but the business world is going to have to wait a few years to find this out, and the associated governments are going to have to wait a few more years after that to get used to denying it.

Real Tibetan food generally draws more from China than from India, and is generally pretty simple and hearty. Momos and thukpa are just variants on dumplings and noodle soup, baglep is frybread with or without meat, there's lots of yak jerky and types of bread, etc. The big thing is tsampa, the ground barley that generally serves as a staple in 99% of Tibet. It's very tasty if you get it with butter and a little bit of sugar, but many Tibetans eat it with just some water, which I think foreigners generally don't enjoy.

The Indian influence mostly comes in exile, where most of the exile Tibetans went through India and Nepal to get elsewhere, and picked up a lot of flavors and techniques there. I've been to one or two restaurants in southern Tibet that had curries, but I think those were mostly aimed at foreigners and are generally not representative of authentic Tibetan cuisine.

Here's a good site with a lot of Tibetan recipes:

We've got a nice tibetan place in town that also does various buddhist related fundraising and tibetan refugee settling stuff, they're nice.
We also have a "meditation centre" that seems to spend most of it's time protesting that the dalai lama is a HACK and a FRAUD and their anti-pope or what ever is the true one and also the dalai lama is a war criminal or something. Are these guys funded by china or something?

The Shugden thing is really insane, at this point it's so divorced from the Tibetan Buddhist mainstream that it's basically become a cult vaguely associated with Tibetan Buddhism. They used to follow the Dalai Lama around calling him the worst dictator of the 20th century and saying he was a secret Muslim who wants to destroy Buddhism; it was always a freaky scene because on the one hand you'd have a few hundred Tibetans who showed up to support the Dalai Lama and rally for Tibet and on the other hand you would have these weird fuckin' white people who have taken Tibetan names and claim to be the REAL Tibetan Buddhists. I spoke with one last year who told me that the Dalai Lama did more to repress Buddhism than China, and that all Tibetans despise him, and when I asked why all the Tibetans were across the street holding pictures of him while on her side it was only these broke-dicked white dipshits she said that maybe the Tibetans were too afraid of the Dalai Lama to join the Shugden side? It was one of the most bizarre things I've ever been told face to face.

Yeah, China loves them some Shugden, they see it as a wedge issue to divide Tibetans. For a while it was really useful because instead of having the ugly optics of Chinese people calling the Dalai Lama the new Hitler, thanks to Shugden you had white people doing it. Kinda erases the ethnic conflict angle, and sells well at home. But they've been waaaaay too obvious about funding it and supporting it, and that Reuters piece you linked was pretty much the end of it as a mass anti-Dalai Lama movement. It's amazing how quickly it spun down once China realized the game was up. Shugden followers showing up at Dalai Lama events and mass tweet storms with duplicate accounts came to a total stop within a week or two of that article finally coming out.

A few years back I was in a Tibetan town with two big monasteries. One had gleaming new buildings and obviously deep pockets but it was practically empty; I walked around for 20 minutes without seeing a single monk or pilgrim. The other is big and ramshackle but full to the brim with monks and locals and pilgrims. I asked a few people on the street about it and they said that the abbot of the fancy monastery was publicly backing the Party and had taken to propitiating Shugden, while the other had roundly rejected the Party and Shugden. Government money was flowing to the one, while Tibetan people were flowing to the other. The people I spoke with didn't even want to pronounce Shugden's name.

So, uh, generally not as useful of a wedge as Beijing would have liked, I guess.
