How can a country of over a billion not understand the concept of lube?
Then again I also don't understand how a country of over a billion with a severe cultural fear of the sun and tanning also hasn't discovered sunscreen.

Friction is a fictional concept invented by the decadent west to sabotage Chinese industry and corrupt Chinese youth.

Is that why Chinese ball bearings are such poo poo? Friction, like racism, only exists in the west?

Until very recently china actually lacked the manufacturing/technology base to make perfectly spherical ball bearings.

Which is why it was an enormous deal when they (probably stole the technology to, but I haven't seen explicit proof of that) successfully manufactured a ballpoint pen last year, right?

Sora Aoi: Japan's porn star who taught a Chinese generation about sex

quote:

Porn is a key source for information about sex for young people in China, as sex education is limited at school; and most Chinese parents shy away from teaching children about sex.

During a study conducted by Peking University in 2009, more than 22,000 questionnaires were distributed among young people aged between 15 and 24. They were asked to answer three questions on reproductive health - but only 4.4% of participants managed to answer all the questions correctly.

The researchers also noted that many young people learn about sex "by themselves".

I'm trying to find out what the three questions were.

quote:

"There was once a popular saying on China's internet - 'Diaoyu Islands belong to China, and Sora Aoi belongs to the world'. This is how she relieved the political and civil tensions."

Apparently Jared Kushner was specifically warned by America�s spook agencies not to get too close to her. There�s a Wall Street Journal article, paywalled

From a few pages back...

Wendi Deng's "rise to power" is a pretty literal example of sleeping your way to the top.

-Latches on to an American couple in China
-Goes to the US with them and sleeps with the husband
-Marries the husband for a green card
-Cheating on him with a guy who had connections at Fox
-Divorces husband after green card is finalized
-After getting a job at Fox she leavs the guy that got her in and has an affair with her new boss at FOX
-Met Rupert Murdoch, starts an affair
-Splits up with her boss at FOX
-Married Murdoch,
-Allegedly starts an affair with Tony Blair
-Divorces Murdoch, gets a load of cash
-Cozies up to Kushner and Ivanka Trump
-Allegedly has connections to the CCP

I'm not sure what headline she's going to be in next, "Trump has affair with Deng" or "Wendi Deng on trial for treason".

That hot older dancer woman I banged did just that. There's a ton of expensive "immersion English" homestay programs for a single Chinese person to do that's not connected to a school. She told me all about it. It's a Christian thing, their way to try to convert the homestayer. She said she had to pray every meal and they made her go to church like twice a month, and some lonely Christian men talked to her. They had her picking their kids up from school every day, too. She paid for this experience. I don't know if her English got any better.

I find it interesting that the three questions are in the T/F format, meaning that a totally uninformed population should have about a 12.5% rate of answering all three correctly, just by answering at random. If the sample size is large enough for 4.4% to be significantly different from 12.5%, then the students are not uninformed, they are misinformed.

To be fair, I don�t find it interesting enough to actually open the full pdf to see which question(s) in particular tanked the success rate, but I�m sure someone else will, and report with their findings. :effort:
