serpentza's problems with women are not that he's horny.

It's kind of the opposite.

I need to vent. Does it ever occur to people that you can just prefer to just NOT have global hegemons, rather than "this guy would do it better"?

And that's on top of the fact that "the US government is still accountable to its people" and "the judicial and legislative branches are a check on each other" is a complete and utter joke born of sheer ignorance.

I thought serpentza was married to a chinese woman and that modest Mao lived in Taiwan with his Taiwanese girlfriend

I really don't think what these people are saying is "mainland women won't have sex with me!" that's a heck of a decoder ring you got there

I mean serpentza's wife makes videos on his account, just search "serpentza wife" on youtube, it took like two seconds. I don't think he's really all that fussed about girls not having sex with him

I work in media (photographer/cinematographer) so I gotta travel a lot, I've been based in Taiwan and L.A. The party I missed that sincx is obsessed with was an industry thing, media people just hanging out and I'd be there to make business connections & have fun. I'm probably the least sex-patty guy.

It's extremely easy to gently caress over foreign people who are in China temporarily for a job. I've invested basically my entire adult life in my career in Asia. In LA speaking mandarin is a novelty.

It actually really blows to be so vulnerable but I guess it's funny cause I'm white and historically it is the Chinese people's turn to be racists.

The Soviets were deeply revisionist by that time hence why they collapsed, it's probably better for capitalism to win on the short run so that orthodox Marxist-Leninism triumph in the end

He's probably going to deny this tooth and nail, but that statement makes little sense outside of a "he thinks Chinese men are cockblocking him" context.

I don't know how to file this: China is allowing thousands of Kazakhs to forfeit their Chinese citizenship to move to Kazakhstan.

quote:

The foreign ministry press office confirmed Kazakh media reports from December that China had agreed to let more than 2,000 ethnic Kazakhs leave. It did not say who could leave or why. They will be allowed to apply for Kazakh citizenship or permanent residency after their arrival in Kazakhstan, the email said.

It's an appeasement measure, plain and simple. Nothing about letting free Uighurs or other ethnic minorities since there's not another country to potentially threaten them as a result.

I'm interested in parallels, because I'm sure this happens, but I find it hard to think of examples. By "this" I mean "we'll 'let' you leave, but don't come back, you're not from here anymore." Do Cubans who emigrate get stripped of their citizenship?

Kazakhstan doesn't recognize dual citizenship.

... does it matter if they do so long as the other country continues to recognize them as a citizen? Maybe they don't let you immigrate if you are a citizen of somewhere else I guess.

Depends, some countries will revoke your citizenship if you become a citizen of a second one or won't renounce the second citizenship.

Yeah, is the implication that Kazakhstan won't let them in until they renounce their Chinese citizenship, or what? I guess the article isn't clear on the mechanism at work.

It's western media reporting on something happening in China. We're lucky if it isn't 100% fabricated, don't question the details.

Speaking of Canadian, where's pevan?

out of that entire article, the number of people in his WeChat group and the fact that he's married is the point that you chose to bold?

I kinda think there's another thread for the foreign male experience in China. It's a little interesting that people can go to jail for weeks for posts they make in small private chat groups but this thread is better suited for more less trivial subjects that whiteness abroad.

Also your obsession with interracial couples is bordering /r/hapa

I think the biases, racist tendencies, and hidden motives of the "foreign white male," who are almost the exclusive source of English-language news about and discourse regarding China, is a very relevant topic for this thread.

E.g.: https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/05/18/sexpat-journalists-are-ruining-asia-coverage/

uhhhh I don't think anyone gives a poo poo about this.

This article has some interesting stuff, definitely. But her opening example of sexpat is foreign men in China trying to rape a Canadian journalist. I think you really need some self reflection about why you find this topic so fascinating.
