I like to walk forward at a speed fast enough that I actually reach my destination in some sort of reasonable timeframe.

What would happen if, in China, you grabbed a woman in the pu*sy? Both if you are a star and a non-star.

I kind of have a real question for you guys. So, my HK counterpart always asked if I'd like to work in HK or see HK, etc. Etc. I always said yes and that it sounds like a very cool place because I try to be polite at work. I got an e-mail from her with her bosses boss loving CC'd on it that's basically like, "oh yeah here is the candidate I spoke about and highly recommended to work here." It's completely insane, everyone knows I have a son and a wife and that moving internationally is just not even a reality among a thousand other reasons. I don't even know what I would do there since she is my direct counterpart and does what I do. I would be redundant as hell. But seriously, how do respond to this without offending? My colleagues here in NY are like, just tell her no. And shrug, but if this chick decides to become difficult, non communicative and lovely with me --- my work life will become really awful since I rely on her heavily for HK stuff. She always pulls this poo poo, invites me to meetings I don't need to be a part of, especially with the time difference and then I have to show or otherwise she loses face because her foreigner counterpart doesn't respect her to show. Aughhh

Just tell her you have a wife and kid and you can't relocate across the goddamn planet. They're not mentally disabled. You can talk to them like normal people.

Say you mentioned it to your wife and your wife just about bit your head off because she wants to be near her parents who she considers to be not well.

Haha, imagine if it was some weird double bluff where I get relocated to HK and she works in NYC. Honestly, if her behavior is considered cool and good / much improved compares to mainlanders, then I don't know how you guys deal with it. I feel like most the stuff I say to her, even when relatively strong worded falls on deaf ears. Yeah and I get that she's not retarded but some sensitivity is required and being a huge pussy and saying some sort of family comes first thing seems week. It makes me sound like I'm not ambitious which I'd like to avoid.

Another possibility is that if she gets you to move she gets a promotion and you work for her. That kind of thing.

48 pages and you've all learned nothing. There is no problem. Agree with your co-worker but do nothing. Pretend to implement her suggestions but only follow your own prerogative. If she gets angry she loses face.

See if the job offers one of those huge expat packages like free apartment, housing allowance etc. And, and, and, this is important, WHAT WILL THEY DO ABOUT SCHOOL FOR YOUR KIDS. Getting into an International School in Hong Kong is loving insane in terms of both cost and placement. Legally your kids have to go to school but expect cutthroat competition for places, and you're hosed if you have to relocate in the middle of the term. I cannot stress this enough. It is the number one headache for expat families and the number one thing companies neglect to mention.

I've been waiting in line in the bank for half a loving hour because some mainlander is asking the clerk a million questions about transferring money from China or something. Edit: she's finally been taken aside to a desk. Now the clerk is explaining to the next one, who apparently got all her deposit information wrong.

Questions to the goons living in cities with a large population of new mainlanders, like Vancouver or Melbourne or similar. How common is car theft where the victims are Chinese? I ask because I lived in Eastern Europe at the height of the car-theft craze in the mid 90's and here in China I see people being very naive with their cars, even the expensive ones, i.e. sitting outside letting it run, showing off keys etc etc, rich pickings for enterprising thieves.
