Haier posted:Somehow Western book publishers are too dumb to realize their copyrighted products are being made behind their backs and sold at-cost to cool people like yours truly and his cool boss and her cool friends, and then we go online and sell them to people with a little fibbery involved. Well, ain't got no sympathy for companies taking their business to china tbh. Even my own (and we're having issues with inconsistent quality).

The most common error we get is the upside-down cover. Sometimes it's an ink issue, but usually it's something backwards, upside-down, or the first couple pages are blank.

I dunno if the point you're making is that she's ex-Reuters and now at Buzzfeed, but if so BuzzFeed (incredibly) are doing some of the best investigative journalism in the world these days. It's loving bananas.

Unironically, they're doing some of the best investigative work around in tyool 2017. They just happen to share site space with a vastly more profitable and vastly more popular clickbait empire.

Very few things about China make me more annoyed recently than the "Rich Chinese person in Toronto or Vancouver who fled China with their corrupt money to have a better life in a Chinese bubble in the first world and who continues to Wu Mao about how great China is with no intention to ever live there or have their kids get educated there." I also get really worried when my wife talks about wanting to spend a summer in China sometime, because I probably literally cannot do my job without real access to the internet. China just keeps getting worse and worse. It's also absolutely true that there is no path whatsoever for permanent residence or citizenship in China. It's irrelevant that "no one would want it anyway," because it gives Chinese people no right to complain about European/American/Canadian immigration rules.

Haier posted:Just typing "china" into twitter shows so much. Like this sad story: The beginning of "Tienanmen Square Uprising 2.0" is in the works. hakimashou posted:North Korea is a problem that China created by interfering in the Korean war. Even more than just that. North Korea might still be a decade or two away from having a working nuke and delivery vehicle if China had not given/sold them tons of technology/materials to make it happen. They have also allowed the regime to continue to exist by making sure they always have enough food, oil, and money to keep the army paid and the elites in luxury. North Korea is a massive tire fire that China built, soaked in gasoline daily, and is now blaming on the neighbours who have been openly practising for the day it catches fire, despite China giving every neighbourhood kid a pack of matches with a map directing them to the pile. Once North Korea has a working missile that can reach the US, and possibly a working SLBM with the nukes small enough to fit on them, you're going to see them shelling South Korea on a weekly basis every time they get hungry for more oil and food.

First object teleported to Earth's orbit Chinese researchers have teleported a photon from the Gobi desert to a satellite orbiting five hundred kilometres above the earth. This is achieved through quantum entanglement, a process where two particles react as one with no physical connection between them. http://www.bbc.com/news/av/science-environment-40573621/first-object-teleported-to-earth-s-orbit

Also you can just be born there, whether by chance or design. Hell we've even got something similar to the FFL in that you can join the military with a green card and get fastracked to citizenship.

I recall from my uni history class that there were a handful of hardcore Communist westerners who became PRC citizens in the fifties. They had to flee during the Cultural Revolution (of course) to America (of course) and had a hard time getting accepted through immigration because their near adult, tall, white, blue eyed children spoke no English, only Mandarin.

The narrative is slowly but surely beginning to change, at least. I am seeing far fewer utterances of "soon to be the worlds largest economy" with regard to China than I used to, and I've always considered that a useful metric for where people think China's future power will be.

I'm also seeing fewer, "China is going to rule the world. . . any day now. . . just you wait!" articles, and more, "Holy poo poo guys, you see these economic indicators? They're not good". The thing that I worry about is that the CCP is going to get entrenched into Canadian business and politics through a massive spending spree before their final death throes, that they are going to actually harm our nation's ability to put its own needs before the Mainland.

I personally hope that VPN thing goes through for a month and every foreigner and foreign business flees and that begins the downfall of China when dumbshits finally realize doing business here is a really bad idea.
