Those nefarious orientals forcing Muslims to celebrate during Muslim holy days. Do the depths of their depravity know no bounds?! I can hardly stand to watch such horrific genocidal acts.

Michelle Bachelet's involvement is what makes me believe there could be something to the Xinjiang stuff, she's been requesting China allow a UN team to interview locals there for years. Why would a Chilean socialist be concerned if the rape and sterilization allegations are actually all CIA propaganda?

This is the role that getting folks like Democracy Now or Socialist Alternative serves. "Socialists are good and anti-imperialist as a rule, their concern concerns me". They are not, in fact, anti-imperialist as a rule. Some folks with anti-imperialist credentials will even put that aside if it means scoring points in their age-old beef with their ideological rivals (the perfidious believers in "socialism in one country"). IMO no one's motivations are really above being questioned on this issue, on either side but especially the west's

the implications of this are just plain bizarre even ignoring that bad poo poo happening in places like africa and australia are a core part of official north korean propaganda in regards to western imperialism what possible motive could they have for pretending like these places dont exist at all

the actual answer is of course that she left north korea as a child either without having taken international geography classes or possibly just not remembering the ones she did take but such an interpretation doesnt make north koreans sound sufficiently crazy

so i have a very stupidly specific question i cant think of to ask anywhere else i know real estate in hangzhou is outrageous just like the rest of the big cities in china but how far out do you have to go before it gets to a reasonable price like is the haichang residential district far enough to not be considered the greater metropolitan area and if so does anywhere closer than that also qualify it seems impossible to search about any of these nuances in english where the real estate market appears to begin and end with just hangzhou

stephenthinkpad

I think the boundary of the "greater metro area" depends on the subway travel time from where you are to the city center. Like for instant Guangzhou and Foshan are fully intergrated in one metro system but for political reasons they are treated as 2 cities. This also happens to Taipei and New Taipei city, which it's just the outer boroughs of the old city. There is no suburban area between the 2 cities.

For your specific question, you probably can ask it in china_irl in Chinese. Use google translate if you need help writing Chinese.

by metro do you mean trains specifically or other forms of public transportation because in korea at least i think it would be reasonable to state that real estate is of higher value next to train stations compared to areas where theres no trains but there are buses that move about as quickly

im not familiar with hangzhou real estate but here in shenzhen being near a station increases value yes. some areas are more or less expensive, basically anywhere you’d want to live is astronomical. more importantly, here there’s a very significant premium that comes with being technically in shenzhen vs technically in dongguan for example, even if it’s just across the city line

Underground subway, above ground bus just doesn't move nearly as fast.

I have heard in Hangzhou the traffic is pretty bad, higher percentage of native use electric scooters to commute to work. “scooter” as in Vespa type scooter, not standing up kick scooter.

That city line premium comes with better education (and health care insurance?) So it doesn't matter to a lot of transplant migrants.

people tend to believe this but in practice no one takes into account the fact that you have to go deep underground and back up again to use the subway which kills a lot of the speed savings compared to jumping on a bus thats right on the street

but it depends a lot on traffic trends obviously trying to go anywhere on a bus during rush hour is going to be a bad time
