This Russian wizard looking dude spent years alone in a room solving one of the most aggressively attacked problems in math, did it, and a couple of Chinese professors immediately make a shoddy knockoff of it and are very proud of what they've done.

The article is like "Oh the proof is very short and many statements are heavily compressed" but that's exactly what's valued in a proof. You don't make it better by stringing it out and explaining it to people.

Don't forget that the main argument from the shoddy knockoff was also copied from another paper.

My Korean students loved anime and all wanted to grow up to be animators (haha, jokes on them). The adults would all get drunk and say things like, "Maybe the United States didn't nuke Japan enough times."

Take six parts Every lame Chinese "vast ancient army at war" trope,
A very generous heaping of "300" slow-mo fight scenes,
A pinch of Prince of Persia,
Five dashes of Hindu story telling,
Probably a couple bits of the Lion King,
A scoop of wery saxy girl wearing South Indian style dhoti and fighting so strongly,
Finally, one sequel,

And you get:

The Ren Ren Le I go to is still playing K-Pop over the speakers. Will they get closed down soon? Plz help, that's where I buy my doufu. I don't want to lose them just yet. I have 4-5 months left here before I can claim refugee status and flee with my gaming PC and empty box of condoms.

J---n will always be the big bad boogey man that the government can blame for all the poor farmers and bad things in China. Recently they celebrated with huge pomp the defeat of Japan 70 years ago, and their single-handed strength why WW2 in the Pacific Theater came to a close once they got rid of those dastardly Japs. The government would crumble if people stopped hating Japan. They honestly have nothing else that's not 5000 years old to claim as their current achievement. "Look what we did (no, not us directly). We beat up the Japanese and now you all have modern China, but we're so ashamed that it even happened in the first place because do u kno that China was always united as one coutnry for 5000 years?"

Taiwan honestly got the best deal out of the Japanese empire's expansionist poo poo. It was still lovely imperialism and all but Taiwan was by most metrics the most successfully colony in the history of colonialism, and there's plenty of Taiwanese who look back on it with a level of fondness even, in my experience. Don't know if you've felt otherwise but it's been a common sentiment in the Taiwanese people I've met.

There was also a solid couple of generations in the 50 years or so of Japanese colonization where a lot of Taiwanese people grew up as basically Japanese citizens.

Plus they were established as a colony before Japan reeeeally went off the deep end with killing and raping the gently caress out of people when discipline started failing.

Completely different experience from mainland China.

quote:

Yum dropped fajitas because focus groups said Chinese people did not like the �peppery type of spiciness that Westerners like,� said Jimmy Chen, senior director of Yum China�s brand development division. Chinese consumers wanted warm cheese on their tacos, not the cold grated variety offered in the United States. They asked for alcohol to be offered.

"I only accept the pepper if it has zero flavor and numbs the mouth!!!"

quote:

The bean burrito was �controversial,� Mr. Chen said; while some Chinese who had studied abroad considered it a must, others found two types of starches layered on top of one another unfamiliar. Ultimately the bean burrito was booted.

*Makes disgusting sugary bean-based garbage and disregards beans as a savory in all ways*
"WAH, BEAN BURRITO SO WEIRD, WHAT THE FACK?"
*Eats red bean paste baozi, which are two types of starches layered on top of each other*

I'm the photo of couple drinking margarita things while the guy disregards her to silently play with his phone like a real Chinese guy does on a date.

You lucky soul. The Chicago Deep dish is inch thick bread with no sauce and only enough cheese and topings to cover the center so each alice has a vast desert of flavorless bread ending at a wet floppy crust.

The peak of the moderation was when a certain word relating to people of agrarian back grounds would have difficulty with city life, was labeled as racist.

I noticed haier just uses the word hillbilly these days

Same with using a contraction of north koreans.
