Well, quite. If it were somehow enforceable, it'd be the US healthcare system writ large, where you have low-likelihood events that absolutely destroy the finances of wherever they happen for the next few decades.

Which, uh, sounds suboptimal to me, but what do I know?

Unfortunately the reverse is true as well.

Yeah I'm in Australia where there's nothing more Australian than to tell the people who run the Vietnamese bakery to gently caress off back to China, if that gives an idea how a lot of people seem to be feeling, and I think as time goes on more people are going to be demanding our government grow some balls (lol) and tell China to please pay bill for the endless river of money they're giving out. Best that can come out of this clusterfuck is maybe something will happen to cause the Chinese themselves to overthrow the commies which would probably lead to a couple million of them getting shot until the soldiers get tired of murdering their own people (happens) then a new happy era of Taiwan number one can begin and wealth beyond measure will resume for all.
plz critique this fan fic

I think too many Chinese believe the pandemic is under control in China, and are much more likely to believe other countries have inadequate disease control.

We got a several million euros worth of medical PPE from China, mainly masks, gowns, goggles, gloves etc and over 1/3 of the shipments are not fit for purpose. The stuff we can use is the shittiest quality gear I've ever had to use.

I'm seeing articles from several other EU countries including Spain and the Netherlands saying the same things.

Just lol

I'm not surprised, the quality of goods in China is awful. They're probably not even screwing people, they're sending what they actually have and people who don't have China experience aren't used to how lovely things are made there. The goods China exports are higher quality than what you get in China for the most part.

I honestly think there needs to be a list of news sources that we can reference to know which ones are poo poo, and which ones are reputable. The sheer number of "The Washington _________" papers is staggering, and about half of them are legit Chud-rags.

We're in Alberta right now, so I'm pretty sure Ontario will be an improvement on that front. Also we lived for 10 years in a small community where we were both very well known and liked, so everyone will just be happy to have us back again. Outside of that community, who knows what the attitude will be like. I guess it all depends on how long this thing sticks, around, how many people it kills, and how hard the area is hit in terms of deaths and the economy. Also if people will actually lay blame on China, or the government/populace's response.

iirc daily mail is just, you remember the old fark tagline, "The Sun Is There"? it's a load of horseshit and everyone knows it but these days it's become hard to tell if someone is a tabloid, if it's a legitimate news outlet doing clickbait for views, or if someone actually believes what they're saying

The green and yellow layered desserts use mung beans for the yellow layer, and I'm not sure if I'm crazy but I swear there's a slight banana flavor to those desserts.

Another thing is that some desserts have a filling made of mashed mung beans, sugar, fat, and coconut. Those yellow or green translucent cubes in the first picture (Banh Phu The) as well as the Vietnamese version of fried sesame balls and tang yuan will use this kind of filling. It's kind of like the filling in Cocktail buns you see in HK bakeries, though not quite as sweet or fatty.
