To be fair the plywood could mean the difference between life and death. If there's nothing else to use it'd slow the body down a fair bit. I say good thinking whoever's idea it was.

Probably.

I'm surprised it's taken this long.

All those kickstarter sites are full of great ideas and not a single one seems to have any sort of patent protection. Sure, not that that would stop China, but the level of naivete on display is heartbreaking.

For your information, that "anti-suicide" plywood is department issued.

I really doubt it but it's nice to see Chinese cops do anything other then gawk

they should do a tv show where cops swap places with another country's cops.

"Cop Swap"

I would love to see LAPD in China and see Chinese cops get their first gun.

I like the architectural theme the album covers have had so far, so I'd say one of the first two

While I've never been a smoker, I haven't thought much about smokers or smoking. After living in China I hope that all smokers experience grievous bodily harm, gently caress smokers. Ugh, just 9 more months in this shithole.

That's impossible, the government growth target was between 6.5 and 7, so it can't hit exactly seven.

LOL. I am not sure it's a good idea to wrestle with another person covered in their own and other people's bodily fluids. Especially since he probably took up the offer for the hotel hooker service that is forced upon you when you stay in Chinese hotels.

Oh yeah, I finally had a white person on Facebook delete me for posting something about Chinese education. She thought I was being racist for talking about its flaws, along with Face culture. It wasn't even this-thread level of talk. I take it as a compliment. Triggering white Americans seems to be my thing lately.

If you really want to experience face culture you should just go to Japan. Or even Korea, which is rip off version of Japan. Heck, there's even keigo, which is a specific kind of speech for business and formalities with a lot of different honorifics.

Going to Japan as a tourist is awesome because they treat you the customer as God. Deep down, customer service might think you are a piece of poo poo but you wouldn't know!

As for the education system, meh.

I think you are mistaking actual politeness for Face. As far as I can tell they are pretty western normal on a personal level. Their customer service is unparalleled though and has nothing to do with Face.

It's way more complicated. Korean's system is pretty simple but Japanese's is not.
