I love how many CHINA 202X articles always try to quantify things like we're playing civilization or something. Research papers = research points and china is producing more research points now, they're going to out-tech us soon and once they've got way more population units so when they save up enough luxuries to upgrade their pops they will double their production output. Food points are a potential bottleneck but with their research points they'll be able to unlock +1 farms which should more than solve any problems. There is no way within the game mechanics that china won't be on track for a victory by 2020. Yes pollution is a problem too, but again with their insane production and research points they'll be able to quickly upgrade their coal plants to nuclear and solar and build recycling centers in all their cities which should reduce it by 90%.

The more articles thing is especially bulkshit, since that's a positive feedback loop. Chinese universities publish a large amount of articles which get massively cited by other Chinese universities, which in turn leads to a huge to rankings on top university, and innovation lists. Amount of journal articles and amount of citations are both numbers which are super easy to manipulate.

Yeah. It is true at least that the US becoming more strict on immigration will lead to a brain drain though, so China will see some benefit from that. (Of course they also have brain drain will all their smart people immigrating away.) Some friends who studied neuroscience had professors who would travel to China in the summer to do experiments that weren't able to pass ethical boards in America, and collected valuable data from it.

Imperialist Dog posted:Canada just denied visas to a bunch of Chinese officials meeting for one of those hometown clan associations quote:China expert Charles Burton, a former diplomat at the Canadian embassy in Beijing, said the Chinese government has been increasingly denying Canadian visas applicants on political grounds. Nice to see Canada growing a bit of a backbone. Unfortunately the CCP won't be able to see how their actions probably brought this about and will just start the autistic screeching about how Canada has hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

I recently read Silent Invasion, which chronicles the CCP’s efforts to insinuate itself into Australian political and economic life. Part of the book talks about these sorts of organizations for “Overseas Chinese” in Australia and how a large number of them are, if not directly controlled and funded by the United Front propaganda department, then at the very least they’ve usually managed to place into the leadership people who are CCP-friendly (perhaps even outright CCP agents in some cases). These groups are useful both in stirring up pro-CCP sentiment among Chinese emigres and in monitoring their activities, so it makes sense they would be a target of the Communist Party. Good on Canada for taking a stand. As a side note Silent Invasion was quite good though I did feel the author was occasionally reaching to make connections. It was basically a footnoted and sourced fojar.txt, I could see him reading it and going  about 3 times per page.

I'm not totally against it as a concept but it's unusual even where marmite's common I tend to prefer a vinegary bent so I use lea and perrins more e: yeah yeah i know i said "its not something you cook with" and you totally can, someones gonna call me out on that, whatever straight talk grand fromage cookery tips are always welcome e2: plus adding it in a sauce doesn't make the whole floor smell like twiglets. at 3am. simplefish fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Jun 8, 2018 |

There's no accounting for the smells in a Chinese apartment building. Next time you make curry or a tomato sauce or something give it a nice whack of marmite. Not too much, you don't want to actually taste it just get the savoriness. I add soy sauce, fish sauce, and marmite to my tomato pasta sauce. You'd never know they're in there but it gives it a ton of oomph.

You can also use fish sauce as a replacement for whenever a recipe calls for anchovy paste or mashed anchovy filets. I've used it for beef stews, puttanesca, caesar salad dressing, and German meatballs/Koenigsberger klopse. And fish sauce is way more convenient than anchovies because it has such a long shelf-life even after opening it.

Ccs posted:China is apparently surpassing the US in science. Either this is a fluff piece or Trump has majorly screwed up. Its not a fluff piece like some of the paid pro-PRC hack editorials you'll come across. Its in a regular section of the paper, so its an expression of the paper's views. The gist of the article is this: Jeff Bezos posted:Under the Trump administration, many U.S. researchers say their work has been devalued, threatened by budget cuts and hampered by stricter immigration policies that could deter international collaborations and the influx of talent that has long fueled American innovation. The call-to-action is to increase funding for American research and increase the availability of immigration visas for researchers. Having written articles that touch upon Asian institutional culture, your sources will tell ya flat out how poo poo, say, Chinese electronic control board component quality control or Japanese firmware coding and documentation practices are. I imagine these reporters had sources telling them how poo poo the statistics coming out of China were, and just how poo poo Chinese academia is for anything other than your uni milking for some $. Now that the WaPo has something up, maybe I should pitch to my editor an article on how poo poo Chinese academic papers are...

Even people who you'd classify as "clever" or "worldly" are prone to letting face culture get the best of them. The supplier said it would be produced to a certain quality, fault testing might be an insult.

I'm in Chongqing currently. This is the first time I'm in western China, except for a week or so in the normal Yunnanese tourist traps. I'm amazed how much less everything pisses me off here compared to the eastern cities I've spent a lot of time in like Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and loving Beijing.
