There are a lot of people convinced that they're legit. Most people refuse to accept that dockless bikes schemes only exist to do the absolute minimum to bypass currency controls that prevent smuggling cash out of China. I'm a "bike dude” and most "bike dudes" are completely dazzled and just can't see past the empty promises to realize that these bikes are essentially the "product" in an MLM scheme.

I've noticed a trend of "helplessness as a matter of gender identity" being a big thing with a lot of chinese people I've known. Like it's considered masculine to be pathetically helpless when it comes to any household work, most of the time they're honestly helpless but sometimes they just have to pretend to be because of gender roles. Women will be proud of their home-running skills and specially like to brag about how well they manage the family finances but the moment there's a male designated task they will very proudly and adamantly let everyone know how helpless and useless they are in that task. It's not pathetic and shameful, it's a virtue to be ignorant or certain knowledge or useless at certain tasks. Also being physically weak or even clumsy to the point that you look like you're ready to collapse after being in zero-gravity for years with atrophied muscles is the mark of a very feminine and high class lady. Drive everywhere, take the elevator, get a man to lift and carry everything, otherwise you might develop a muscle and look like a gross body builder.

This means I will never be a friend of China.
I disdain, loathe, hate, with all my heart and being, anyone who is an adult but can not take care of him or herself. There are plenty of rational reasons for this, but I fear it's not even rational with me.


Sadly, though, this is the norm in most of the world.

I think the business model is that you have to pay a deposit to use the bikes and then the owner takes the deposit money and runs.

China must keep up efforts to 'revolutionise' its toilets until the task is completed, state media quoted Chinese President Xi Jinping as saying, amid efforts to boost the domestic tourist industry and improve the quality of life.

Xi launched the 'toilet revolution' in 2015 as part of a drive to improve standards of domestic tourism in China, which he said suffers from deep-seated problems of a lack of civility.

'The toilet issue is no small thing, it's an important aspect of building civilised cities and countryside,' Xi said, according to the official Xinhua news agency.

As an emerging industry, Chinese tourism needs an upgrade in both hardware and software to continue strong growth, Xinhua reported Xi as saying.

China's National Tourism Administration recently announced plans to build and upgrade 64,000 toilets between 2018 and 2020.

But the toilet revolution is about more than just giving sightseers a better holiday experience; it is also about creating a more civilised society, Xinhua added.

Since coming to power in 2012, Xi has often visited homes in the countryside and makes checks to see if the locals use pit toilets, besides emphasising that village modernisation requires sanitary toilets, Xinhua said.

In a course-setting speech to a meeting of the ruling Communist Party in October, Xi redefined the 'principal contradiction' facing Chinese society for the first time since 1981, saying the current need was not just for more growth, but more equal growth to satisfy people's desire for a 'nice life'.

China's tourism industry has upgraded 68,000 toilets over the last three years, completing about 19 per cent of the task, Xinhua said.

My understanding is that Uigars, a muslim minority in China, are treated pretty much like poo poo. Muslims pray to allah. The person made a joke about someone thanking allah, as if he were a muslim, like the Uigar are, who are a pretty much despised minority in china, as I understand it. He was implying that thanking allah, like the uigar, a muslim minority in china that are treated like poo poo, might do, would be worse than saying nothing, which is what he did.
