Where I taught the kids did hardly anything but watch anime and play video games. Only ran their parents $30,000/year for them to sit around on their desks watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes while the Chinese teacher sat in the corner playing on her phone.

Black Cat Detective. It's basically Tom & Jerry but with guns and characters actually dying horrifically. Also, the cat is the good guy because he is naturally stronger and smarter than the mouse.

Kids have good taste on this one, I'll admit.

Although a cynical part of me is saying it's because the protag is Chinese and thus portrays all of China as holy and righteous.

the mainland is kind of a cultural wasteland post-90s, it's just the blandest most repetitive poo poo imaginable.
I think Zhang Yimou's Hero is partly to blame, it showed you can have a scarily pro-authoritarian movie and just hide it with some production values (lol hollywood) and get universally praised.
The east bloc had lots of good stuff with Tarkovski, Forman and Parajanov so being authoritarian doesn't have to mean poo poo culture

the tall lesbians comic is ok but I stopped reading it after I realized it's also stifled by obvious self-censorship

New Zealand has suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong in response to China's new national security law for the territory.

The widely criticised law makes it easier to punish protesters and reduces the city's autonomy.

Travel advice has also been updated to alert New Zealanders to risks presented by the law.

Completely appropos of nothing:

Does anybody here know of any good/famous Chinese cartoons?

I know of Xi Yang Yang. The cartoon where a bunch of goats live in a field and occasionally a wolf, (who is constantly beaten by his wife), tries to catch them.

And Boonie Bears, where two big brown bears live in the woods and spoil the attempts of what looks to me like a French Canadian logger to chop down trees.

But are there other ones as big or famous? Even with my high school students, (when I was in Fuzhou a couple of years ago), I could always use Xi Yang Yang as a reference, so I was wondering if there were others.

I like singing the pleasant Goat theme song at KTV whenever I have to go to Ningbo for work.

My wife liked something called "BLACK CAT DETECTIVE" growing up. I wouldn't call it good but it might be famous.

Oh hey someone posted that already. uhhh...... Mulan?

China threatens to stop recognising BNO passports of Hong Kong residents

SHANGHAI/BEIJING (Reuters) - China threatened on Thursday to withdraw its recognition of British National Overseas passports held by residents of Hong Kong, in retaliation for the former colonial ruler’s policy of easing their path to citizenship.

Starting from January 2021, those in Hong Kong with such status would be able to apply for special visas to live in Britain that could eventually confer citizenship, interior minister Priti Patel said this week.

However, China opposes such a policy as interfering in domestic affairs, a spokesman for its foreign ministry said, calling the move a flagrant violation of Britain’s promises, international law and principles of international relations.

Bit late on this one, but I'd like to know. How is who the UK lets in to their country anything to do with China's domestic affairs?

It's also super lol as an empty threat because anyone emigrating from Hong Kong would just leave on their HK passport and enter the UK on their BN(O) passport, so China would never even have a chance to involve itself with the BN(O).

Countries complaining about someone “meddling in their internal affairs” or a similar expression are always wrong. I don’t know why this phrase has been used so many times over decades when it always disqualifies the one who uses it.

On this, and this is probably an insanely stupid naive question.

Can one have a HK passport and a Chinese passport? Similar question with Macau.

Also given their is the BNO stuff with the UK, (as HK used to belong to the UK), is there a similar sort of thing with Portugal and Macau citizens? Coz as far as my limited knowledge goes, Macau used to be Portugese.

Yes, sort of. HK passport is considered Chinese by China. Everyone else treats it as a HK passport. Now that the firewall is gone, well you get the idea.

Not that simple.

I obviously would leave NZ with a NZ passport. I can enter HK either with the NZ passport or HKID. Both valid methods of entry. I can't leave NZ with HKID as that is not a passport.

There is a catch. Every country has some form of exit ban/blacklist/alert and entry ban(Invalid visa) no matter what kind of document you have to prevent criminals dashing overseas, no objections under normal circumstances, but HK isn't normal. Its the reason why the UK has stated (Paraphrased )"We are open to them but there is nothing we can do if China stops them from leaving". I have no doubt Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow etc are on that blacklist. Why Nathan Law fled before it came into effect. Like the TSA No Fly list you don't know you are on it until you try to leave.

Like journalist from Western outlet or the press club I can be denied entry if I use NZ passport because reasons. I can't be denied if I use HKID but treated differently if asserted for example than if I used NZ passport. It will look weird but I can exit with NZ passport even if I use HKID entry.

It's going to get weird as some people will have roll dice to leave as boat people to Vietnam or hide their intentions via third country as the ticket is tracked.

If you're going to make fried rice with freshly cooked rice, it's actually a good idea to rinse the starch off so it won't clump as much. Same thing you do to noodles when you're going to fry them or make something like zaru soba. But then you need to spread the rice out on a tray and let it dry for an hour at least before you continue on, that's where it gets weird. If the rice isn't dry it's going to be a disaster. Overnight in the fridge or spread out and fanned, either works.
