Would you mind dropping by this thread and telling us more about what you know? https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3809089 I've seen you in the TFR archery thread and it seems like you know your poo poo. Anyway, I won't distract from the thread anymore, just thought maybe that video would stir up some conversation.

Yorkshire Pudding posted:What does he think happened to India and Egypt? They're not the same as Ancient India and Ancient Egypt you see. China on the other hand was always a nominally communist state that was one continuous land from the Gobi to the Sea of Japan and from the northern steppes to the Southeast Asian Sea, and has always been Han, with Manadrin being by far the dominant language and Beijing the capital, 5000 years.

Yeah, they'll point out how every ancient civilization has been conquered or subjected to foreign rule or had it's culture subverted by outsiders. Not china, china has had a unified uninterrupted government and culture for 5,000 years. This makes them the most cultured civilization since culture works like "culture points" in Civ4 or something.

However, given the messy relations between PRC/RoC nothing every really changed. I think the constitution also claims some parts of Russia.

Also, a desperate dash by the people's army across the strait would probably follow, leading to massive loss of life.

gently caress Mainland customs. Today I learned that a passport is not proper ID if you're foreign. It's the perfect example of no loving logic. They almost didn't let me back in today because "The man in the photo does not have hair, and you have hair." Yeah, no loving poo poo, the photo was taken five years ago. "Do you have identification? Please say your name slowly." My USA Visa card with my photo on it wasn't enough, so I had to find my resident permit. She was totally skeptical of that too, despite it having a current photo of me, so then she made me use my hands to pull my 15cm hair back from my forehead and hold it while she looked at me for a long time and compared all three photos. I am sure next time my US driver's license (with hair) will still not be enough. I just feel it. The next time I want to go to HK for any purpose I am totally going to get put in a room and interrogated.

I actually had the same problem with my passport photo because I lost a ton of weight after I came to China and wasn't eating American poo poo, but work permit photos are always more recent so I take that too when I travel and now everything is fine every time

Kharnifex posted:I just said feiiiiii and they let me pass with my old passport Does anyone know if customs agents can make notes on your profile? Like, do they have box they can check that says "Hassle this person next time they come through"? I went to HK today to look at buying a new laptop (before settling for Chinese New Egg), and I wonder if they can actually not allow me to come back into China if they are so drat concerned about a few inches of hair. When people get deported, I heard they give them like 24 hours to pack their stuff and go. I wonder if they wouldn't even let me back in and my poor boss would have to pack my entire house up for me (oh god, that box of condoms and lube..)

I guess I have stumped the entire country with this. In the photo I have a buzzed head, typical of Chinese males. In real life right now I have regular hair that is parted in a style. As far as I know, I still have the same face as before. Don't you know? All you white boys look the same.

That means you could commit a heinious crime and then have a haircut and a fake moustache and you're suddenly invisible and everybody wonders where you went?

Yes. I met a Chinese man who went to Switzerland for a conference and got his wallet stolen. After being giving a book with photos of minor wanted criminals to look through at the police station, he said he couldn't identify the person because 'all the people look the same' #waiguorenarenotzhongguoren

Also most Chinese people would rather die than donate organs, so the only way to get that many is from people have have not given their consent. Chinese people in Ontario actually drag the rates of organ donation down considerably. http://tvo.org/article/current-affairs/shared-values/why-gta-cities-drag-down-ontarios-organ-donation-rates-

Organ donation should be opt out instead of opt in. Or, you don't get organs unless you're a donor.

Mr-Spain posted:Weird choice of words there. Chinese public opinion is very much against the idea of organ donation. Saying that you wish to donate organs is akin to asking for something bad to happen to you. Most of it comes down to superstition, but also a lot of "why should I help a stranger?" mentality factors into it as well. Last but not least, is the "squeamishness" that is pretty prevalent world-wide when talking about organ donations.
