Israel, India and Pakistan (and NoKo?) joined the nuclear club too late to get seats, which is just as well. The world needs fewer obstructionist rear end in a top hat nations, not more. For the UN it was because China was one of the victorious Allied powers of WWII. That spot on the Security Council belonged to Taiwan until the switch in recognition.

From the "HK life is shitter than being stranded on Mars" to the last minute reversal all pro-PRC retards trot out when you point out a social shortcoming "you know where the airport is if you don't like it!" It's a perfect illustration of the ongoing decline of HK

Bajaj posted:Every other culture that eats beans: "Dude, eating these makes me feel full and strong. We should add some salt and make a variety of dishes with these beans. It would be a good staple food, and we can even store them for long periods in case there's a food shortage." Beans require rice to form a full protein, it's why "beans and rice" is a thing almost anywhere those two things grow. Otherwise, rice is an incomplete protein and closer to empty carbohydrates. Besides, beans are full of farting fiber, and you can't toot like the Chairman without them  Imperialist Dog posted:The new history curriculum in Hong Kong is out. The Communist-backed 1967 riots and Tiananmen Square have been omitted from the curriculum. How many times is Uncle Xi "Pooh Bear" Jinping mentioned in this brand new curriculum? By rank, he should be mentioned at least half as many times as Mao. Anyone who missed China's long term "Just take water from the Himalayas" plan shouldn't feel too bad. I'm sure it wasn't planned as a resource grab when it happened way back when, more as a "nobody is going to come fight us over this mountain nation of poors, so we'll take it and be even bigger." Something tells me that it's not unheard of for the modern Chinese to take something for the sake of greed, only to find out later the thing they have taken has a purpose or utility, and to boast of clever strategy with the benefit of hindsight.

So I'm studying Chinese and planning to look for a job there in a year or so (Solar industry). I've enjoyed the challenge of learning a completely different language and developed an interest in eastern history and culture. Reading this thread to get my expectations grounded in some reality, but it kind of sounds like y'all hate the place. What gives?

Anyone from a city bigger than Chengdu might snottily say they can't understand the "Sichuan accent." Either they sing in Sichuanhua and that's why, or they just happen to have a Sichuan accent so strong it can erase 50000000 years of history.

TRIGGERED I've been teaching with VIPKID because 40 hours a week with them is double the money 40 hours a week of classroom teaching would be here. I recently- stupidly- agreed to accept certification with their youngest students, ages, 3-5. This is an age group I like very much in the classroom and would normally be happy about teaching. However, my upstairs neighbor is a righteous bitch who loses her loving mind every time she hears me so much as cough, and I can't teach a mini-midget while half-whispering. I get a new little boy today. He's cute, fine, but suddenly GRANDMA APPEARS and scream-quacks the entire class period. In fact, she is so loud and crazymaking that the student eventually breaks into hysterical tears, and I can't actually say anything without Grandma shrieking an aphonetic mouthful at the kid. If I even say something like "good job," Grandma shrieks GAAAN CHABU and smacks the tiny little boy until he repeats. At one point, she made him take a phone call. They paid extra money for a short-notice class with me and spent 20 minutes screaming in Chinese

In it, the author stated that plant foods are deficient in some of the essential amino acids, so in order to be a healthy vegetarian, you needed to eat a combination of certain plant foods at the same time in order to get all of the essential amino acids in the right amounts. It was called the theory of “protein complementing.”

Bajaj posted:LOL, get with the times, old man/woman!  Turns out that rice is nice. Still, if your diet consists of one food item(even if it's rice), poor health is likely to happen. Also, given that rice is easily digested, is it at all more than correlation that China eats a lot of rice and also has high diabetes numbers? Or is it a case like America, where they just take in absurd amounts of sugar, and the rice is not even a factor?

Also the fact that the rice consumed is the most white variety possible (only poors eat brown rice lol what is fiber and/or other nutrients?) might be a factor.

Yeah that's the problem. White rice at every meal, despite what people in Asia will tell you, is not an old tradition. Nobody could afford that poo poo before modern times. Hell I have talked to people old enough to remember when white rice was a rarity and they hardly ever saw it growing up. People were eating mixes, or brown rice, or barley, or buckwheat stuff, or whatever else they could afford. There's nothing at all 500 years about 100% white rice for anybody but the rich.

The British in Singapore spent a long time trying to figure out what weird communicable disease it was that kept making their Chinese workers sick while Indians had hereditary immunity. They eventually realized it wasn't disease at all, just malnutrition from eating nothing but white rice as opposed to nothing but brown rice.

I have shamed myself by missing a zero on my years. In Korea white rice was a rich people thing so people switched to it en masse as soon as they could to show off that they were rich. My friend was a kid in Seoul in the 50s, her family was rich and she could afford white rice but she'd secretly trade some with other kids to make her rice mixed and not stand out. There's still some of that history today, it's very common to get white rice in Korea that has some other grains mixed in.

At the school I worked at they had actual nutritional scientists come in and evaluate the food so we always had white rice with mixed grains in it. It was still mostly seaweed soup though.

Last year I studied Chinese in Taiwan. I was the only Westerner in class. Everyone else was Korean or SEA. Me, in Chinese language class: "I don't know why Chinese make such a big deal about rice; rice is eaten all over the world!" Teacher, looking smug: "Ah, but they don't eat it for every meal, do they?!" As if that's a loving accomplishment, LOL!

I really like mixed rice. The purple kind was always my favorite, although I can't remember what it's called now. Not a huge fan of the seaweed soup; it's bland as heck.
