Sheng-Ji Yang posted:this is stupid I don't get it, my best guess is you mean stupid in the same sense as people who write articles about living for a while on the equivalent of welfare. The idea was that if one would want to learn about the uglier side of China in proper perspective in a way where actually visiting would be critical to the whole deal, what would make sense to me is being embedded in the life of some typical site of exploitation in the company of the exploited. It's something I actually believe in a general sense rather than being some China-specific hot take, so I'm interested in honest refutations.

Mao was KMT too... it's Chiang Kai Shek who sucks, pretty clearly. Like the hillary clinton of China... destined to win it all but due to hubris and malice lost everything even more satisfyingly, lost it all to some wannabe poet from bumfuck nowhere whose own party didn't support him until he just. kept. winning.

China is doing pretty well at containing the virus, imo. It having a two week infectious incubation time is hosed up and it's a miracle it hasn't been way worse.

Why can't chinese people speak for themselves? This author compares Chinese society to the borg from startrek, complains that his maid can't come in due the quarantine, and then complains the government is playing it too safe, and played it too safe during SARS as well (lol)

Modest Mao posted:Why can't chinese people speak for themselves? People are in private conversation, at least among people I know and probably Chinese people outside the mainland. But I don't think it needs to be spelled out in detail why we're not hearing as much of it publicly from Chinese people in the country, the arrest of the 8 whistleblowers (although that feels like a weird word to use in their case) isn't unknown, and I think says more about this than I could. I'm sure you've seen the same thing talking to people about 1989, they have thoughts but they're not going to talk publicly, and don't want anything they say shared with anyone else, that's not rare. Autism Sneaks posted:it's a coronavirus-based illness that attacks the respiratory system and originated in China, I didn't call it SARS 2: Infectious Boogaloo and I was calling out the people treating this like a reality TV show. get over yourself. Jokes about anything rule, but there's context that makes them lovely. You're not an idiot, I don't have to explain that to you. You're poo poo for using your "joke" to "call out the idiot lurkers."

https://www.scmp.com/video/hong-kong/3048148/hong-kong-health-care-workers-vow-strike-against-government-handling I am tracking this news of a (new?) HK health care union threatening to strike if the government doesn't close the border. I think it will be a pretty signaling case for the continue fight between the HK government and the protesters in 2020. On the one hand, 6000 members is a pretty big sized pool to make a dent; on the other hand, using the virus to threaten the government could turn the general consensus against themselves. Both sides have a lot of options. Carrie Lam can close the border partially; and the union can also strike partially in stages. However Lam has a lot of options in response. She can make compromise (after all, its not a decentralized protest so at least you can negotiate with somebody); she can crack it down hard like Reagan did to the air traffic controllers or Cathay to the flight attendant union; she can bring in mainland health care workers and paint the union the selfish bunch. Of course this would be organized by liaison office. And the general Hong Kongers responses could go either way. Even on scmp I am reading different feedbacks. It could play out very differently and signal what the new mainland liaison leadership's plan for HK in 2020 in regard to some upcoming hot potato issues such as the textbooks and the "uncooperative" civil servants. Some think tank already predicted that in 2020, 40% of the countries will see unrest and HK/Chile are leading flashpoints so HK protest will continue in some shape of form.

The border situation is pretty ridiculous, people are hella mad at the slow HK gov response by shutting down the train lines but not the airport and not meeting their own target that they set. Paranoia is thru the roof with people queuing outside the pharmacies when the delivery shipment comes in hoping to buy some flu masks. There are rumours floating around with of some pharmacies selling reused masks as well, so people shared a video of how to rip them when disposed. Most people don't even wear them properly but it does feel a lot better walking around with 90% of people wearing masks in order to contain nCoV

pretty sure it doesn't matter what china does if china quarantines seriously, it's a borg-like authoritarianism if china doesn't quarantine seriously, they aren't taking the pandemic seriously enough and now lets dig into the implied inferior culture on why this may be
