I have a by-proxy story for the thread: I was recently in a week-long class for a complicated piece of medical equipment (Fluoroscopy C-Arm) taught by a guy who's been doing this a long time and flies all over the world. He recounted two fantastic China.txt stories for us. The first was after administering another week-long class for Chinese mainlanders. At the end of the class, he gives a fairly substantial test that was honestly pretty difficult. Something like 50% of his class had obviously cheated, and he failed them. Riding the train from one city to the next to catch a plane, they call him and demand he returns to re-adminster a new test. They cheated again. The second one was on-site training with a new installation in a huge new hospital. The hospital had bought two room-size versions of this same sort of equipment, the kind they use for heart catheterization and things like that. They install the first room, but the second just isn't talked about. After a while, a hospital admin gives them a tour and they stumble into a room where some technicians are busily disassembling the second piece of equipment in a giant open room, parts laid out on the floor as they slowly and methodically reverse-engineer it from the ground up. This instructor is like 60+ years old, white, and Mormon. I'm sure he had a lovely time in China.

The clone will be made of the finest melted-down cans and farming implements, but they'll forget to leave off the original manufacturer's name on some of the molds. When chabuduo tolerances and terrible bearings kill enough citizens (important Party members get treated with the Western version), the Chinese government will magnanimously sell them to various African nations.

I work for a company that has a huge presence in China. Due to Chinese law our operations in China are a separate company that is 51% owned by us and 49% owned by a PRC government development corporation. We're under very specific instructions to only send the minimum amount of information required to satisfy their needs and empowered to question or refuse any request we feel is unreasonable. When they come here they're sequestered in a mostly empty building and are required to be escorted anywhere even marginally interesting. Despite all this copies of our stuff pop up all over the place and classified information shared with them regularly ends up spread around our Chinese competitors hours after it's shared with them. It's a huge problem and we really can't do anything about it because they're an incredibly important market and the government can just shut us down anytime they want if we piss them off.

All the >6 figgies medical devices companies I've interacted with have all the smarts hidden away in the software. Like it's cool that you repro the device, but interpreting the output stream takes actual engineering. The solar industry is a v good example of what happens when you delocalize reproducible manufacturing IP. All the "western" companies still in business make money on the integration and middleware.

I was telling my wife how we are going to have to teach our son all this complicated etiquette stuff and go through all these instances of him being rude on his way to learning. I brought up how we'll have to teach him not to stare, and told her how when I was little I would stare at people with one arm or in wheelchairs, and how my Mom had to embarrassingly hiss to me to stop staring and it's not polite etc. I mentioned, "I guess you don't get taught that in China," almost as a joke. She responded (not joking) "In China the mom would point to the person and say 'Look! Look! That person only has one arm' and encourage the kid to stare"

They definitely don't do the classic Chinese gaping jaw thing at people missing limbs though. They're far too socially aware for that

People mostly ignore you in Tokyo and that’s the way I like it. When people talk about how people in Osaka are more friendly and will just talk to you on the street I’m like “Wait, you WANT strangers to talk to you unprompted?”

“A torture for the eyes”: Chinese moviegoers think Black Panther is just too blackquote:“Maybe the Chinese are still not used to a film full of black people,” wrote one reviewer on Douban (link in Chinese). The commenter said he had to pinch himself more than 10 times to stay awake during the movie because “Black Panther is black, all the major characters are black, a lot of scenes are black, the car-chasing scene is black—the blackness has really made me drowsy.”

Western media had two kinds of China coverage: Bad China and Weird China. The truth is though that as much as they're authoritarian bastards and Xi Jinping has declared himself president for life, they're still leaving us in the dust. This is because they recognize Facts > Feelings

Except the dust they're leaving is full of heavy metals and industrial solvents and instead of us they're leaving themselves in it.

It is a done deal, and the US is wavering. But saying China still lags behind is widely untrue and displays a lack of understanding of Chinese research which has lead the world for a few years now. The US is no longer the military or scientific power of the world (and I could cry happy tears)

yo bajaj, with that weird drugged out thai chick that showed up high - or on the tail of a high - on meth you shouldn't have been weirded out by it and chased her off, you should have invited her to shower with you so you can clean her up, get that bloody pad and vagina cleaned up, and the possible feces smears on her body, and then you could have sex with a freshly cleaned meth'd out thai chick with little self-awareness, you could probably put a baby in her and she wouldn't have minded. then you never meet her again. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
