Seriously though, thanks; that’s a good reminder that Mad About Islands is actually pretty normal for the region.

I have a question and I'm hoping China goons can help me out. I'm really curious about brands of snacks/drinks from other countries and I'd like to know more about whatever it is that Pangzai is drinking. I know the clear stuff is some high-proof baiju, which many have said tastes like paint thinner. Is the opaque white one just milk? I'd like to know more about those colorful drinks. Any guess what they are, specifically? Are those forms of liquor that are naturally that color? Or are they juice, sodas, or sports drinks, possibly mixed with baiju? Also, what brand of beer is Pangzai always chugging? Is it any good, or is just a generic crappy watery lager? Can any of you identify what all the different colored drinks are? And if so, have you tried them? How do they taste? Thanks!

As long as Taiwan keeps pretending to have a claim to mainland China it is implicitly acknowledging that it is "China" If they officially gave up the claim it would be an acknowledgement that they aren't "China" and hence damage the PRC's claims that Taiwan is a "rogue province" You might be thinking "wow that's really loving stupid" and it is

The opaque white one is probably either a nut milk (there's a good peanut/walnut combo one) or choujiu, which is like Chinese makgeolli. No clue at all about the colored stuff. I have never had that beer but am 100% confident it's generic watery poo poo. There really aren't any good Chinese alcohols. Huangjiu can be okay sometimes, and there's good craft beer. Most of it is just paint thinner though.

I wonder what kind of stuff they sell in rural China in grocery stores or convenience stores. I wonder if it's the rural China equivalent of Faygo. When I see something like this Russian military drinking ritual, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAnVIhuANlg I always wonder what those mixers are and what they taste like.

There's all kinds of local sodas and stuff, the usual juices (usually very sweet and weird tasting). None of it is that great. It's weird how great China is at food but when it comes to drinks, not so much. Lot of good teas, that peanut/walnut milk is great, and... uh.

Took the quick way down some stairs this morning and broke my left Scapula. My mother in law was shocked that the following didn't happen. (her first time seeing a western hospital's ER process) -I didn't call an ambulance (took a cab) -They didn't collect ID, just my health card -I had a series of X-rays within 30 minutes -I was not on some manner of IV drip -They didn't directly sell me a trail mix bag of random pills -I was out within 3 hours (didn't stay overnight or up to three days) -I am able to walk -I'm planning on being back at school next-next Monday (after the break) She expected at least 2 days in the hospital and 30 days from work and something more than Tylenol 3s and some anti-inflammatories. She was asking my wife if I was being denied care in some way.

d0s posted:I always thought he was just putting food coloring in baiju to make the video look more interesting It must be beer or another drink with the same ABV. If it was baijiu, he'd be drinking an entire fifth in many of those videos. Or for pro-level shanzhai, it was just colored water the entire time.

chinese hair cave posted:Has anyone heard of Pangzai, the Chinese peasant farmer who chugs beers tornado style and can break bottles with one hand? I’m worried about him because he keeps mentioning “I want to show what real peasant life is,rather than the propaganda films”. Is he at risk for being Dissapeared? More likely it will be like that other popular video maker, the old lady that made the funny/silly videos of life in rural China, (forgive me but I forget her name and exactly where she was from). I only heard about her from the previous version of this thread. She was making silly/fun/irreverent videos that were hugely popular, and that sometimes poked gentle fun at the authorities and way of life in rural China. The CCP found out, got involved gave her some funding, and now she still makes videos, but they are all rural cooking poo poo proclaiming the greatness of homestyle Chinese traditional cooking and culture, free from evil western influence. And none of the funny little skits she used to do. So if the CCP got wind of him, he would probably just devolve into spruiking how great life in the glorious Chinese countryside is. Again, forgive me for forgetting the name of the awesomely sweet old lady.

fish and chips and dip posted:Wait what? I thought I was knowledgeable about mainland Taiwan relations, but this is the first I heard of this. The joke is that compromise of the One China Policy is both sides agree that there's one China and disagree on which of them owns the other one. The flipside of Taiwan abandoning its claim to be rightful government of all China is its declaration of independence and separation from the mainland, which obviously the PRC is having none of. It's all stuff you knew about, just read in a deliberately roundabout manner.

The CCP is attempting to do with Huawei exactly what the US/CIA did with the swedish Crypto company that got exposed by the Washington Post last week. Except Huawei infrastructure will allow them to do it to average citizens instead of only encrypted government communications. Huawei sells their equipment for waaaay cheaper than competitors and offers 0% 3yr financing (financed via 0% loans to Huawei from the CCP controlled banks). Then after you have their equipment in a large part of your infrastructure they can (and do) put out patches that break its interoperability with other manufacturer's equipment so you have to replace that with Huawei stuff. Eventually they have you by the balls and locked into only Huawei equipment since a large corporation can't just replace 50%+ of their infrastructure overnight. These are all documented Huawei business practices. This is why the US is throwing a shitfit about allies incorporating Huawei into their communications infrastructure. Because in 10 years when Huawei has infiltrated a large enough percentage of their infrastructure the CCP can do pretty much whatever they want and nobody will be able to do poo poo about it. If you want to get Huawei out of your infrastructure you would have to go a very long period of time with that infrastructure being down because you can't just replace it all at once and Huawei is known to push patches that break their stuff on purpose when a company starts to go down the path of replacing their equipment.

Woke up from a nap and had some homemade hot pot (good). My mother in law asked if the hospital reimbursed me for the shirt they cut off me. She still has a sour look on her face from my treatment. She asked if I didn't want to pay for the premium package or something. I told her everyone gets the same treatment, but she doesn't seem convinced. She told me her classmate's son back in China fell on some ice and broke his clavicle ten years ago (he'd be in his late 20s). His stay in the hospital was just shy of a month, and he had two IV bags per day and an assortment of painkillers for the entire time. When he was discharged he was given an array of pills that he had to take for an additional TWO months. While he was in the hospital he had an x-ray every week, and three follow-up sessions once a month. She thinks that the bill came to somewhere around 10k RMB.

You gotta imagine though, there's some group in the CIA or NSA that is doesn't give a poo poo either way because they know about some backdoor zero day and have a way to remotely flash their own custom firmware to every huawei device worldwide to co-opt them for US interests and the machines still operate exactly like they used to, no actual performance was lost. the controls just switched hands, so it's not like china can just start screaming bloody murder about how they lost access to their spy tool (but thats probably exactly what they'd do lol)

Pangolin meat is dark, with a sticky, stringy texture. We ate it with rice. The scales were just barely edible, with a crunch like a human fingernail. My friend asked if we mind if he took the head.
