The best part about the Badminton match fixing story is that both teams were trying to lose.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Not China, but this match fixing story is pretty lol worthy:

You've done well, kiddo.
If you are all talking about badminton I wonder how much face they lost recently in the Chinese open where World number 1 and Olympic champion Chen Long was beaten in the final by Jan Jorgensen from Denmark (which even though Denmark is one of the best badminton teams in the world, only has a population of 5 million people) in 2 straight games.

The crowd kind of can't believe it (and Jan seems a bit shocked too).

He was recently busted having an affair with a woman who came to watch him play. His wife, the Olympic women's badminton gold medalist, is 8 months pregnant.

Team Sports don't really work out that well for China as they have two options...

1. Convince a bunch of talented footballers to move to China.
2. Teach the next generation of Chinese children not to be selfish little brats.

You can see the problem...

Behind Haier's back the voice from the Ling Long Ding Dong was still babbling away about pig-iron and the overfulfilment of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan. The Ling Long Ding Dong received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Haier made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live -- did live, from habit that became instinct -- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.

LOL, but there is a way to know when the Ling Long Ding Dong is watching me - the speed of my ever-downloading torrents will drop as they access the wi-fi to turn on the camera. This is China, everything will be incompetently performed. I'm trying to get all the season of Arrested Development right now because once the rains and "cold" come I want something to give me a sensible chuckle.

Goons,
I am in a dilemma. That 150cm girl I posted about a few days ago asked to meet me on Saturday. She's as cute and adorable as a girl could be and everything about her demeanor and physical appearance attracts me. She's polite and honest, speaks English very well, and is an overall sweetheart.
We talked a lot and I was thinking maybe I finally found that one girl that make me stop meeting the others. Then last night happened.

She was annoyed with me for some unknown reason and started asking me about stuff she saw on my Wechat wall/album. Mostly it was about India and some other things I had put up. She asked me why I am not in the USA, and why I decided to come to China, or go to other places. I told her and she replied with "I love China." From there it was like every lovely Daily Mail wumao comment rolled into the shape of tiny woman and given life. Coupled with this was the traditional Chinese viewpoint/logic of "if it's not the exact single standard or situation of which I learned about before, it simply cannot exist because there's no such thing as variation in the universe." I don't want to go into details, but I was legitimately angry by the end of it and how she was so closed-minded and dense that she couldn't even understand why I might have been offended (typical here, of course). It was seriously like every frustrating China Vs. The World internet troll but right there in chat and voice message and a few metro stops down the road.

I asked her if she's like this to other people and she very proudly admitted that her two previous boyfriends, both Chinese, left her because of how stubborn she is. I asked if she had learned anything from that, because guys in the future will do the same, and she just sent a smiling emoji.

So anyway, she wants to meet on Saturday. I told her we can meet for like 2 or 3 hours, but she started talking about bringing backpack of clothes in case she wants to sleep at my house. Normally I'd be happy about it, but after the wumao bullshit I am not on the fence of if I should not meet her at all and just delete her, or meet her for a few hours and see if she's really that retarded face to face, or throw her a hate plunge for the good of the nation. Maybe some of that foreign jeeb will help soften her stance?

Advice?

I like this. I have tons and tons of yi mao and wu mao sitting around because I hate carrying coins. It would be nice to get rid of them. Instead of handing them to her directly, maybe I will keep a little bag ready and if she says something I will go put it in the bag and if she asks I will tell her that she will know when she goes home.

Yeah, I know, and it's a joke. Whatever happens, even if we do or don't meet, I will just use the excuse I brought up the first time we talked (a fundamental difference in lifestyle) that is the reason we probably couldn't be a couple. I can use that and there's nothing cultural about it and she already knows I feel this way.
