It's just Xi's ongoing legacy and crimes people* take issue with. I miss what the China threads were before Xi wiped his poo poo over everything. It's only taken 8 years to get to where we are now. * most people.

Re: the change in tone, yeah, China topics were a lot more lighthearted way back. Tibet was a fait accompli, the Kunming station attack hadn't happened, Taiwan was being courted, and HK was being left to slowly slide. Gutter oil, This Pig's Huge Balls, and whatever terrible thing Haier had been doing / experiencing were the top headlines. Not to say that it was all puppies and sunshine, but it was the usual grind of a large state doing large state things, background noise unless it was happening right next to you. But, things change.

The couple people I knew who lived in China or would go there every year or so for work have left and don't want to go back. Things just got darker and more authoritarian under Xi.

Mr. Sunshine posted:I know little of the dynamics of national hatreds in East Asia, but I'd guess it boils down to the Japanese being absolute giga-dicks like a generation ago, while the Chinese are being pretty big dicks right now. I remember in the Kingdom (the netflix korean zombie show) there was a scene where everyone (korean government officials) heard the Gong, they all panic immediately and shout "did the Japanese invade AGAIN" - like it's THE MOST LIKELY scenario of a crisis that can happen to Korea? Now everyone's instinct is gonna be WHAT IS CHINA DOING IN THE SOUTH EAST CHINA SEA / TAIWAN STRAIT / INDIAN BORDER AGAIN?! instead

The dynamic between the three is basically: ________-________ relations depend on __________ And it would be correct no matter how you filled it in Although I guess theres been so much recent tension even the annual visit to Yasukuni won’t make Koreans more endeared with China China-China relations depend on China

HIJK posted:its not even that difficult to stand up to them, they don't need to be threatened or intimidated, just have people willing go "lmao xD" in their general direction Yeah. All the whinging and whining is pretty much always performative and backed up by nothing. If you ignore it, it goes away. Because the point of "You have hurt the feelings of the Chinese people by daring to acknowledge that Taiwan exists. Prepare to feel our vague and non specific wrath!" tweets and/or public statements is to make a big show, and to look like they are important and respected. Ignoring it and keeping on doing what you were doing that caused the outburst gets no further retribution. On that note, has Lithuania responded to the Global Times article saying how mean and naughty they are being to poor China?

Lithuania didnt put nearly as much effort talking about how China literally blacklisted one of their MPs because she had the audacity to make comments about their human rights problem or that other poo poo China does after the Lithuanian parliament passed a resolution recognizing the Uighur genocide this past May.

Personal update - earlier this year or sometime last I posted about my in laws that live in Jiangxi. At that time, the local police showed up to their house asking for copies of my wife's (naturalized US citizen) US passport. She refused to supply her parents with that, but her sister who also lives here, supplied a copy of her green card. For the last three weeks, the police have returned once each week, most recently yesterday, again asking for copy of my wife's US passport and any copies of her Covid vaccination card. WTF

My wife will be a legal resident of the United States for 10 years in October. We haven't been back to China for 4 years. Edit: She comes from a small city (100k pop) and her family is known for having two daughters that have emigrated to the States. My wife also has 2 1 million plus social media accounts in China (Weibo and Meipai) so I assume there is some attention there. TheBuilder fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Aug 25, 2021 |

Lol yeah that'll do it. Wouldn't be surprised if they go document gathering on anyone who breaks (threshold number) subscribers, and the whole "not actually resident" thing has thrown the process completely off. They probably assign "go get this lady's documents" to each new member of staff as a hazing ritual. EDIT: China has a small foreign-resident population compared with many western countries, so any procedure that isn't specifically aimed at foreigners, probably has no provision for them. Names of more than 3 characters, forms of ID other than the national ID card? Lolno. When the process is an amicable one (setting up an account for a service, etc) then a makeshift solution can usually be reached. When it's formal/legal/low-level intimidation like the example given, obviously people get in trouble for using makeshift solution, so the whole process hits a roadblock. Now, you may object and say that it isn't right that the government wanders over to Papers Please people posting legal content on social media, but I can only counter with: China.
