Tangshan was (IMO) the absolute worst place I visited in China. On three separate occasions in one day people actually reached out and tilted the screen of my phone to see what I was doing on it, or they would literally stick their phones in my face (less than a foot away) and take my picture. I was used to the shouting of "HALLLLO" at me every 2-5 minutes, but I wasn't prepared for the proximity they did it at in Tangshan (like yelling 1-2 feet away from me as opposed to across the street or down the sidewalk. I don't know if I just happened there on "clueless old person day" or if I was the first foreign person to ever set foot in the city limits, but it felt like it. I managed to get spit-sprayed at least 10 times, burned once with a careless guy waving around his dart, and almost didn't get out of the blast-radius of a guy who just decided to piss on the side of the bus stop. Everything in Tangshan seemed to be 2-3 time closer when it happened as opposed to other places.

China in being massive piss babies news part n. Hurt the feelings of the chinese people, violated the sports spirit of love and peace by criticising literal loving genocide.

Soccernet posted:

Arsenal star Mesut Özil will be removed from Chinese versions of PES 2020 after publicly criticising the country's treatment of Uighur Muslims.

NetEase, which publishes PES in China, explained Özil's removal in a post on social media platform Weibo (via The Independent), which said it came after Özil's "extreme statement about China on social media".

"The speech hurt the feelings of Chinese fans and violated the sports spirit of love and peace," NetEase's statement continued. "We do not understand, accept or forgive this!"

Özil criticised China's mass detention of Uighur Muslims via a widely-shared Twitter post last Friday. Özil, himself a Muslim, called for others to speak up and condemn the issue.

The resulting row has since sparked anger from Chinese state-controlled media. The country's foreign ministry claimed Özil had been "blindfolded by fake news".

Last month, The Associated Press published a cache of secret documents which revealed how China's mass detention camps operated. The report stated more than a million Muslims were now incarcerated, families separated, women sterilised.

There's no suggestion international versions of PES 2020 will be affected, but this is just the latest example of how western video games are causing friction with the authoritarian Chinese state - and how Chinese publishers will clamp down on anything it might disagree with.

I literally can't understand this kind of mentality. If Özil had come out and said that Finland should stop electing literal loving nazis and nazi sympathisers, I'm sure the nazis and their handful of fans would cry about it on Twitter, but everyone else would make fun of them until they melted down even more. And if someone even suggested stopping Arsenal's games from being televised or removing Özil from video games, they'd be dunked on for months.

I love how something as simple as "Killing and incarcerating thousands of people is bad." can be seen as an 'extreme comment'. And even if it was an extreme comment, that violated the very concepts of peace and love, it is one tweet by a millionaire footballer. Which is definitely something the most populous nation on the earth should spend valuable time and energy on.

The main advantage of trackless rails is the absence of tracks which leads to much lower cost of construction and maintenance. A single kilometer of traditional tramway cost about $30 million to build, but with the high-tech virtual line, the cost is reduced to less than half.

The virtual railway in Yibin, which runs for 17 km through the middle of the city, was built at an estimated $160 million and is expected to carry up to 10,000 passengers every day, rising to 25,000 after it is connected to the nearby high-speed rail network.

So painting the road cost close to $10 000 per meter? Cool, cool.

lol. Chengdu already has an elevated BRT which is basically just a bus train and it works great. I'm sure it's cheaper too.

It was the only consistent law following I ever saw, since the BRT lanes aren't physically separated and drivers are just told to stay out of them. Never once witnessed a violation of that.

I think China's project is basically to show that state power is absolute and to 'reeducate' the local populace, and to the end of stopping violent attacks I believe the evidence shows it works which is why the CCP is saying "what's the problem?"

One thing that I think is less talked about is that Xinjiang is now about 50/50 Uighur ethnic, around 11mil people, and Han see them as minority. Xinjiang is 'autonomous' and the government does have uighur members.

Also from this population of 11 million, the imprisoned officially make up 22% of prisoners in a country of 1,386 million.

The government has, since the foundation of the CCP, nominally tried to protect minority groups, excluding them from the one child policy (now two child policy) and giving them favor for getting into good schools, etc. A lot of Han will see these camps as a trade off for those favorable policies, "okay now your people have to learn the official language and support our government, after they supported you." I see that a lot in comments on chinese sites about this topic.

I think these facts help me understand the narrative better


whatever7 posted:

The problem of the Uyghur population is that unlike the rest of the minority, they are not willing to integrate into the Chinese han directed culture the same way native Indians submit to the whites in America or the Hui in China.

They live in their own section of the city (in Southern Xinjiang, I think historically its called the Hexi corridor) and they don't intermix with the Han population.

Even if Xi can temporarily surpass the terrorist/secessionist activities, it will show up again a few years down the road. Frankly, I don't see a permanent solution. The Uyghurs don't want to live under the Han rule but geopolitically the Hexi corridor is not something you can box in and close off physically.

And I am pretty sure the reeduction camps will be closed under the new leadership because this was 100% Xi's own project. Notice I don't comment on the validity of the camp rumors because I don't have enough information to know. And I don't think you will get a clear picture maybe in 10 years. There is no unbaise party live in Xinjiang.

Makes you think, huh
