ladron posted:anyone not korean is a foreigner. I'm not sure why this is allowed. Surely space restrictions would dictate that non-native speakers should get priority? I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think my university has a rule against this. Otherwise, no one would have ever made it into a Chinese class.

Yeah when someone is telling me how the really want to learn chinese and are primarily motivated out of utilitarian/career reasons and starts to cite stats on number of chinese speakers I'll always try to talk them out of it. Language utility isn't just about the number of speakers of X language, it's about the opportunities that language brings, the doors it opens. If you have a passion for China and want to move/work there, sure, but actually research what actual language or dialect people speak where you are planning on moving. Maybe your big engineering company works closely with some factories in China and in Germany, which would you rather be going on business trips and working with? Do you want to be the guy that has to liaise with the chinese office or the german office? Would you rather have to work a month a year in Dusseldorf or Baoding? I generally find people's eagerness to learn chinese is inverse to their knowledge of China.

Surely space restrictions would dictate that non-native speakers should get priority? people are allowed to major in what they want. these weren't like basic "hola" or "bonjour" classes, they were mostly literature analysis and whatnot. the native speakers knew the vocabulary and most of the grammar (hello subjunctive), but that's about it, and it really pissed the teachers off (never had a native speaker in the french or latin classes tho)

Devils Affricate posted:The new tax bill is some bad poo poo, but it is nothing compared to the systematic, focused persecution that the Chinese government carries out daily on the country's poor/rural population. They literally don't allow you to move to higher tier cities based on your lower class background. If you tried to explain the problematic issue of gentrification to a Chinese person, they probably wouldn't be able to comprehend what you're talking about, because such a concept is so far removed from even being considered a problem as opposed to the natural order of things. eames posted:pretty hillarious drama surrounding Zotac and one of their sponsored SC showmatch events, admittedly not very relevant to their GPUs but we have enough sad vega news in here.

nong posted:That sounds like the stuff the so called "Western Democracy" is promoting. government-linked officials in China own over 80% of the economic activity in the country. the army alone is almost 50% of that activity. in the USA it's less than 15% - with defense spending largely put out to private contractors whose strongest connection is lobbying activity. you could make the argument that the USA's number is still altogether too high (and it is), but that is not even remotely comparable to a weapons manufacturer's chairman and the producer of the contract literally being the same person, which happens routinely in china. being part of the CCP is the only way to get ahead. the tax bill in the USA is bad poo poo but oh my loving lord trying to compare it to chinese abuses, which literally include going to neighborhoods, compelling the people to donate blood, selling the blood to the red cross for a quick buck, and not even using clean needles, resulting in loving AIDS infecting half of the population is so incredibly tone deaf that you simply must be trolling. e: also, yeah, in real economies bullshit like bitcoin is just another foreign currency, which both the IMF has affirmed for the euro zone and the american IRS/SEC has confirmed for america. in china it is an existential threat because something with literally no real backing beyond a mathematical equation is considered more trustworthy than the CCP's full faith and credit promise, lol Coolguye fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Dec 5, 2017 |

Coolguye posted:for someone who talks about perspective you truly have none. like seriously, high-rise apartment buildings are literally built by government official owned construction companies and then sold back to the government purely so some dickhead can grift billions of RMB off of the Chinese public, who then see no benefit whatsoever from this construction because the apartment buildings are built too far away from even basic services for anyone to consider living there. nobody is ever punished for this. this is so common in China you can trivially find dozens of videos on youtube describing the process in detail and detailing the evidence. find me one detailing a similar scam run in America or any Western European country. Sometimes my friends would say impulsively “I’m going to donate blood.” But they never put their words into action. I heard a colleague in her 40s by then had donated blood and slept for a whole day after donation. Later when her son’s work unit called employees to donate blood, she desperately stopped him from donating, afraid that he would feel dizzy. Her son finally skipped it. About six or seven years ago when I was in school, people felt frightened upon hearing about blood donation Girls stopped eating to lower their body weight so that they would be able to avoid donation.” #29 F24 (Wife): At first I believed that giving blood was scary and believed that taking blood out was harmful to the body… From my own experience, I felt fatigue no matter how much rest I took after donating. As I went out under the sun, I had a shock and sudden blindness that made me have to crouch to recover. I’m not sure if it was caused by blood donation or the extremely high temperature that day. (Husband): Actually there is a seasonal choice for blood donation. It’s suitable to donate in spring and autumn instead of summer and winter. The neighbors said my wife shouldn’t have donated on such a hot day. The qi could be harmed without proper rest and as much nutrition intake as possible…. Male donors would feel tired and listless after donation. Laborers work had to stop because of their inner deficiency of blood. It would be ok after 2–3 days rest. …women would feel sore in the waist after donation. #24 F46 (wife), M49 (husband)

Most felt that 3–5 days was the minimum required for a small donation (200cc) and that 2 weeks or more of rest was needed to recuperate from a donation of 400 cc. While many younger people felt these practices were sufficient to recuperate, others felt that even these remedies were not enough to undo the potential harm brought about by blood loss.

everything people post on the forums is a genuine belief and if i disagree with that belief then i am compelled to pen an argument that nobody cares about, including the person that i disagree with pulling from reddit, but this is a good story because if you are old you can commit any non-government crime you want. if you died in custody your family could milk the poo poo out of the police department and thats a much bigger hassle than letting a molester go free. http://supchina.com/2017/11/30/wechat-censors-sexual-harassment-victim-in-shanghai/ quote:Meanwhile, in mainland China, a Shanghai woman’s post today on Sina Weibo (in Chinese), in which she said she was molested by a neighborhood man three times over two years, is going viral on Chinese social media, but for the wrong reasons. In the post — which first appeared on the woman’s WeChat — the author, whose pseudonym is Baxixulaoshi 巴西徐老师, said she reported the offender to a local police station after each attack, but the police kept telling her that the man “is too old to be arrested,” fearing that he might “cause additional trouble” for them if he dies in custody.

Most recently a state government signed contracts with massive fines for breaking them, to build incredibly unpopular developments, right before losing office. The queensland LNP like to sell all our publically owned assets, and our Queenslands toll roads are all owned by an incredibly predatory company who just does the bare minimum to maintain the road.

It was a cheap way to pretend to give healthcare to the proles with the side benefit of serving as propaganda aimed at overseas orientalists. The CCP supported it for these reasons, resulting in it becoming widespread practice. Now it's that, plus big business that makes huge stacks of cash.
