I don't know about the amount of Chinese citizens in the Ukraine but did they not evacuate staff or citizens? What happens if one dies during the war? Is China gonna turn an eye to that?

The rationale might be that China and Russia are BFF 5eva bcuz dats longer than 4eva so therefore you will be safe as long as they know you're from the glorious PRC. E: no, I doubt they'll do anything to directly protect Chinese people living in Ukraine. But I could be wrong, and I hope I am.

Is China gonna turn an eye to that? I would think it's fairly safe to assume that China is quite willing to tolerate some accidental casualties in order to avoid offending Russia by ordering an evacuation. This invasion clearly furthers their goal of conquering Taiwan, so China is going to be pretty supportive of it. If there were significant losses they'd probably blame the Ukrainians and organize a Russian airlift. Realistically, staff and families sheltering in the embassy will probably be fairly safe.

I dunno, China doesn't have the greatest track record of keeping its embassies safe during military actions.

I'm thinking mostly from the perspective that the site probably won't be intentionally bombed or stormed by infantry. It may very well be damaged or even accidentally bombed like in Belgrade, but as long as it doesn't catch fire it would probably protect most of the people inside.

No that would be more like “oh the pro ccp people of Taiwan have declared independence but are being massacred we must send Xi’s volunteers to protect them in a peacekeeping mission!”

Posting this here because several thread regulars have literally been to the restaurant I'm talking about. I found out today that the gem of a Thai restaurant I would bring visiting Goons to in Bangkok wasn't closed because of covid or going out of business. The owner was crossing the street and was killed by a passing tuk tuk. Absolutely tragic. Rest in peace. You made some amazing loving cuisine.

I was sad when restrictions lifted and I started traveling to the area again and noticed it was closed, but downright heartbroken when I learned why yesterday. Apparently he had a pretty big funeral with all of the local restaurant and shop owners attending because he was so drat well liked. The restaurant had one of those menus that was impossibly large, like hundreds of dishes. They'd drop this gigantic binder full of pictures on the table and you could spend seriously half an hour or longer just flipping through it. I would make a point of ordering something different every time I went in addition to a couple of staples, and I don't think I was ever disappointed. His presentation was also topnotch, serving most dishes with some combination of folded banana leaves as plates and decorations and carved melons as bowls for sauces. He had also spent the last few years getting into baking and had been running a popular Western style bakery with the best sourdough I've ever had. In fact, when I was talking about it at work yesterday, a coworker realized he knew the guy just through the bakery and hadn't even realized there was a whole other restaurant that he'd been running for years. It is singularly the biggest cultural loss in the region. The wife packed up and left, which is entirely understandable. There's a little street food vendor running out of the front of the old shophouse now and nothing left.

It was easily the best meal I had in Bangkok, rivaled only by that place another goon took me to in a copse of trees down a random railroad track.

Grand Fromage posted:Despite what the various Friedmans like to write in their columns, China's pretty bad about planning for things. Korean society is also built on last minute scrambling to address easily foreseeable problems. This is like the primary procedure for most Chinese bosses. The other is find a patsy to take the heat while you prepare your Golden Parachute, but that seems pretty typical for most countries, really.

That was the fastest tone shift I've seen on Weibo comments over Ukraine. The first day of this all it was seriously all 4chan level stuff. Now a lot of the posts themselves have a "holy poo poo behave yourself in the comments" addendum. It's still pretty bad, but in a different way. Like I saw one popular comment that was "I have been watching many Douyin videos on this Putin guy and, as a result of my research I have concluded he is a very intelligent man." Just wanna make fun of that person so bad... loving Douyin research 2022 is stupid.

My old coworker in China put her son into both basketball AND swimming in the hopes of making him grow tall. She's about 150cm, while her husband is about 175cm. Despite this, like the superstition in modern Chinese culture goes, they believe that their boy will sprout up like a tree because he is now doing exactly what all the tall people do. It reminds me of the opening couple pages in Body by Science, by Doug McGuff and John Little: quote:ASSUMING A CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACTIVITY AND APPEARANCE I guess you gotta force your kid to do something with his free time instead of playing with his friends.

Lamarkism. Edit: I guess Lysenkoism would be more appropriate for China: Wikipedia posted:Lysenko forced farmers to plant seeds very close together since, according to his "law of the life of species", plants from the same "class" never compete with one another. Lysenko played an active role in the famines that caused the deaths of millions of Soviet people and his practices prolonged and exacerbated the food shortages. The People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong adopted his methods starting in 1958, with calamitous results, culminating in the Great Chinese Famine of 1959 to 1962, in which some 15–55 million people died.

I mean, if he's being fed correctly and he's exercising well, that'll go a long way.
