WarpedNaba posted:So either they take in the good ones to steal the tech, or the bad ones for propaganda purposes. Either way, not the most subtle approach. Pretty much my thought. The thing is, I reverse-GIS'd that image, and it's about this Chinese tech company working with lasers and semiconductors, and the guy that founded it seems to have studied in the States. Which is the actual solution to the Chinese technology gap: send your people out of China to Europe or North America! Don't just steal ideas from other companies because then you'll never understand them, and be reliant on stealing again in the future to keep up. WarpedNaba posted:edit: lmao

Well, sending their nerds to developed countries for training's easy enough, as the last 20 years have shown. The hard part's getting the good ones back.

I like how the moment a man in China gains weight it's buzzcut time. They all look and dress the same. It's as if there was a government mandate about fat men or something. Foreigner with a PhD in his/her field and 20 years of experience: "I think we should take th.." Chinese person in lab coat: "No" Foreigner: "But it woul.." Chinese: "No." Foreigner: "What? Why?" Chinese: "You don't understand Chinese culture." WarpedNaba posted:So either they take in the good ones to steal the tech, or the bad ones for propaganda purposes.

That's cool, it's Japan in reverse As for the industrial blocks, most of them were constructed the 50s 60s and 70s, I believe. Many of them had small sweatshops. Stuff like plastic flower works, which started the leftist riots a few decades ago. Most of these very big factories moved out to China in the 90s. A lot of them are still in use, but government policy does not really favour them (or any independent Hong Kong industry). Right now many entrepreneurs are trying to repurpose the interior massive (by HK standards) floor space for restaurants, tutorial centres and other service industries. It's also a big living space question because it's illegal to use them for residential purposes but so many are sitting vacant.

Just register a sole proprietorship to the address, have a pull-out sofabed for the "occasional late night" and a pantry-style kitchen (very few places on HK have more than that anyway). Nobody will ever inspect you anyway, because that would mean paying enforcement officers, and the HK Government would rather have poor public services and a massive surplus to boast about than spend any of that surplus on its people. The only way it could go wrong is if there was a fire in the building or something but that's easily explained if you claim you live with your parents usually and were staying there was a one-off that night.

I saw this Wechat posting today. Let the butthurt about THAAD begin! THINK FOR YOURSELF WHILE I TELL YOU HOW TO THINK! Edit: In Chinese - 很多人，也许还不知道萨德是什么东西，它是美国生产的一套非常先进的导弹拦截系统，它的探测半径高达2000公里，大半个中国都在它的覆盖之下。以后，我们中东部每一架战机的升空，每一枚导弹的发射，都在它的监控之下。 试想一下，假如我们国家的导弹发射不出去（被它拦截掉），而美日韩的导弹与战机却可以肆意轰炸我们的时候， 你还能去韩国旅游购物吗？ 你还能在家看韩剧、追韩星吗？恐怕说晚安的次数不多了！请自己思考！ Haier fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Mar 5, 2017 |

Baronjutter posted:So seeing the industrial version of a tenement existing in modern day is really interesting. I assume the people there are running tiny mini sweatshops for poor income? How do they compete with larger factories? It's not a kowloon city kind of factory building, it's company-owned subsidized housing for factory workers. Edit: sorry maybe that one building actually is high-density industrial space. Asia is full of company-owned apartments for workers as an incentive to not quit and to make sudden transfers across the country less terrible. Google needs to build some danchi-style dorms in the Bay Area asap because poo poo is just crazy. peanut fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Mar 5, 2017 |

peanut posted:It's not a kowloon city kind of factory building, it's company-owned subsidized housing for factory workers. While there are worker apartments built by factories, most "factory estates" in HK are not that. HK, back when it made the majority of the world's electronics in the 80s, it was the system mostly gone from the West now, where a big company hires a HK company who distributed wlork around small workshops to fulfil orders. Children with their tiny hands and nimble fingers were a bonus, and it was iirc Maclehose responding to that that got the school leavibg age raised. Not 100% on that, it was a few years ago I read about it. These places still exist today, but mostly manufacturing is gone, and you find offices of people trading in what might once used to have been made there. HK has a tabletop gaming model maker, they're set up on soemthing like the 18th floor of an old godown (warehouse) building. You find specialist shops like diving equipment or office furniture retailers, or baking supplies, or imported cheese wholesale now mainly. So still some manufacturing but mostly non-highstreet retail or company administration. For .jpg: This buildng I'm stood in has 31 floors. Both lifts are freight elevators. Some guy was bringing down trays of dumplings ready to be cooked presumably by the row of restaurants across the street, some other guy waiting to go up has a cage of what looks like boxes ready to be filled. I can hear some large electric motors through the floors.  Kowloon City was an unregulated mix of small workshops and people living and particularly unlicensed dentists. simplefish fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Mar 5, 2017 |

https://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2017/03/04/china-find-wives-30-million-unmarried-chinese-bachelors-relaxing-visa-restrictionsquote:A recent poll published by The Beijing News found that 61 percent of respondents favor policies that encourage overseas women to come to China as a way to address the "bachelor crisis", as it is called in the Chinese media. Conducted by The Beijing News and a Tsinghua University think thank, the poll surveyed 1,017 people, half of whom are university educated. EDIT: quote:According to a 2015 census, the gender gap between unmarried Chinese men and women rises astronomically as they age. Across the country, the average ratio between all males and females is 105:100; however, this rises to 136:100 when considering singles over 30, and rises to 206:100 for single men and women over 40.

President Xi is coming to Hong Kong for a possible military parade. http://www.scmp.com/news/china/policies-politics/article/2076208/pla-troop-review-expected-be-chinese-presidents-hk This will surely enlighten the populace as to their proper place as part of China and could have no repercussions whatsoever.

I know I'm just a dumb foreigner and so couldn't begin to fathom Chinese rich history of gender ratios, but how in the gently caress is that even possible? Are women just dying/marrying each other as they get older? Is whitey to blame? Goddammit, it's whitey's fault, isn't it?

Sunday Posting: I walked, as usual. I didn't see much, but - I was walking by the university. I believe the new session/year begins soon, as students are flooding back by the thousands, carrying bags of instant noodles and other packages of junk food since they don't know how to cook. I was listening to a podcast, which means the outside sounds are not drowned out. There was one kid a far distance from the crowds waiting for the bus, sitting on a step and watching his phone with the volume cranked. I could hear the moaning sounds about 4 meters away, and instantly knew he was watching porn. I walked closer to him and saw he was watching white people porn. He didn't look up as I went by so close to him, since anyone watching porn in public with the speakers at full volume probably doesn't care either way. I stopped to pee at park toilet that is connected to the sidewalk. There are two urinals and two stalls. One of the stalls is, very surprisingly, for wheelchairs and features a Western toilet and the door is curtain instead of the usual. This park is full from sun-up to sun-down with old people taking care of grandbabies or waiting for the older kids to finish school, so it kind of makes a little sense why they would have strangely included a little thought about handicapped seniors. Anyway, I walked in there and there was a guy around my age sitting on the toilet, pants around his ankles, and watching a TV on his phone. He had the curtain completely open and his pooping was on full display. We made eye contact for a brief moment and then he put his attention back to his phone. I've always wonder why there are always turds in toilets in parks without stall doors, and now I see the type of nonchalance needed to dump that way. Not exciting day, but that's good. China is definitely one of those places where "No news is good news." I do have a theory though: The true test of when spring actually arrives to your area of China is when the Buzzcuts pull their shirts above their bellies. Exposed belly = Spring time. I got my first dose of bloated stomachs in several months, and I think this is the true way to tell that the cool days will behind us.
