This is all true, but the problem from the Chinese perspective is that doesn't remotely put them in a comparable position to the US. They badly need the water, but taking it weakens them if anything since it brings them into (even more) direct conflict with India. By contrast, America's push to the Pacific made us completely unchallenged in North America and gave unobstructed access to two oceans, and thereby the whole world.

This went differently than I thought it would: Guardian: Chinese defend Einstein's portrait of their people as 'filthy' and 'obtuse'Grauniad posted:While some internet users called for a “boycott of Einstein” and said his observations proved “all humans, even Einstein, have a stupid, shallow side,” most said the China Einstein witnessed is nothing like it is today.

Someone tell them China is a hot mess. The filth is in the air, algae blooms, and toxic waterways. The Chinese soul of those in power is as corrupt now as it was then. I don't understand the fatal attraction of 5 heads, skeletons and peanut brittle. They move like robots while staring into rectangles mindlessly. They seem to have little intellectual aspirations, preferring stealing innovations. They are industrious, working and living in squalid, depression inducing conditions. The Face cultural framework is inscrutable and obtuse. I swear Einstein would have made much of the same observations now as he did then. LOL at a satirist making the same type of observations now without getting deleted and the threat of the secret police knocking on the door. He would be appalled by how poorly used America's upward trajectory has been.

Welcome back! Are you the original Pro PRC Laowai? We look forward to your thread making GBS threads.

PRO PRC had been reported to be back in USA, went all MAGA and stopped talking to goons This posters ID is different, syntax and topic conversation is nowhere close, and it took all of 12 hours before they started ranting about aryans and white people posting about China It’s clear as day it isn’t pro-prc lol

Trade war back on track?quote:Trump Approves Tariffs on $50 Billion of Chinese Goods Oh and this nugget from China Daily: quote:China and other nations should join together to counter Trump’s aggressive trade policies, the state-run China Daily said Friday, repeating past threats to retaliate in kind. While China hopes that talks can succeed in resolving the dispute, "it is high time that China and other major economies joined hands to better cope with the challenges created by the U.S.’s aggressive pursuit of trade advantages," the editorial said.  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-14/trump-has-made-decision-on-china-tariffs-sanders-says However, the way Trump flip flops, who the gently caress knows if itll actually stick. I half expect another tweet in a few days where he goes "Oh we have to protect Chinese jobs as well" after some ego massaging by pro China "lobbyists".

Lol you just know that is the result of an inspection of some kind highlighting that they didn't have a fire extinguisher Which suggests that that's officially been signed off as a rectification E: for you spoony bards out there it's "Quenching Defence-use water Please do not use drinking" For the rest of us it's "Firefighting water. Not for drinking."

Could someone explain Chinese face to me? I get the American concept. What I don't get is why you'd lose face for quality checking your supplier and confronting them over product defects.

My Imaginary GF posted:Could someone explain Chinese face to me? I get the American concept. What I don't get is why you'd lose face for quality checking your supplier and confronting them over product defects. Part of face is avoiding making anyone uncomfortable. That's why when one person fucks something up, they sometimes like to pretend everyone is a little bit at fault. To check the quality of the goods would be to suggest that the person is dishonest incompetent or whatever. This would be awkward for both parties and a loss of face for both.

fish and chips and dip posted: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. One of my colleagues recently had a scientific journal submission under review. One reviewer's message was basically "nice paper, but for publication you should really, really cite these two papers to strengthen your introduction." The papers were tenuosly related to the research at best, and surprise, both from the same research group in China. Several of our reasearchers are Chinese, including co-authors on the submitted paper. They were not surprised.
