Some Guy TT posted:this probably has nothing to do with china but why do homepages for sites like bing and bilibili keep loading in black and white when i open new tabs im struggling to think of any technical reason why this is only happening for a few larger sites and only on the home pages so maybe uh the communists are doing it? but why It's because Jiang Zemin died They do it when stuff like that happens, they've done it before but I can't remember exactly what. Edit: Nanjing massacre memorial that was the other time I was trying to remember. Pretty sure it was that, taobao went all 2 tone.

Insert George Carlin clip where he points out "homelessness" is a dumb term because "home" is an abstract idea whereas the proper term would be "houselessness", because that accurately and concretely reflects the material need of the people being discussed. Except now that same linguistic obfuscation is being weaponized against China. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lncLOEqc9Rw

Of course the moment ISRO actually managed to get it's smaller systems working a bunch of really well intentioned white experts started looking for any smuggling of tech.

100% of china is homeless because all real property is either urban/state owned or agrarian/collectively owned. no individual owns land in China, they are all homeless

China actually have one of the highest home ownership rate, something like 80-85%. You can go by this wiki number which is like 89%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_home_ownership_rate The way to calculate the ownership is that if you have a house in the countryside, you are still a home owner. A lot of these self built house in the actual villages are not transferable. I don't know the name for it in English, but basically in Chinese is called "small ownership" which means you can pass down to your family but not allowed to sell. Obviously you can still sell to your village neighbors unofficially since usually half of the villagers are your long distance relatives anyway. If you build a house in the village you essentially don't have to pay any fee for land use, you are only paying for the cost of the materials and labor. My wife's parents have a....2000-3000 sq ft brick house in the village. None of the younger generations live there anymore. The grandparents live there maybe 1/3 of the time, the other 2/3 time they live in the nearby city which they have a 2br "commercial apartment". One of the place that has the lowest home ownership is, you guess it, landlord dystopian hellscape, HK, something like 50%. (in the wiki link its 22% but nontheless its still one of the lowest) Now a lot of these village farmers with village hukou, their middle aged childrens are working in the nearest small towns (in China lingo they are called 4th tier cities or 5th tier cities), that's where you used to see only 6 floor apartment buildings 15 years ago but started building 20+ 30+ floor high rise nowadays. All these has to do with whether you can obtain "big ownership" which means transferable "commercial apartments" through the city level government and housing developers license. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 13:25 on Dec 1, 2022 |

for additional language speakers here: do you find google/bing/twitter/etc translations from English into your native language to be reliable or good, and is like Chinese<->Tagalog decent quality? or is it easier to go through English? I regularly notice a big difference between eg Spanish->English and Russian/Ukrainian->English and was wondering how that experience is with other languages

I don't even trust the translations provided by journalists when an article quotes someone in Filipino, much less Google Translate. When I post something here that I translate to Filipino, I always do it myself.

We were talking about Sino Soviet relationship (particularly Mao-Stalin relationship a few pages ago), so I have been listening to some old history professor online lectures. I think the Sino Soviet split, fundamentally, traced back to the many disagreements between Mao and Stalin before the founding of PRC. Even at the point of Japanese surrender Stalin didn't support CPC over KMT. Stalin still wanted a united government (I guess the logic is a weak central government is easier for Stalin to meddle) At the core of it, the disagreements were based on many land disputes between China (including different factions of China) and Soviet. • Outer Mongolia, Mongol being splitted into 2 part was an artificial political line started by the Czarist Russia. I think the logic is Russia wanted a weak buffer state to the south of the trans siberian railroad for its strategic safety. Stalin pushed ROC to recognize Outer Mongolia when KMT was in a weak state. Mao and Zhou tried to get it back after the founding of PRC, but the requests didn't go anywhere. • Xinjiang, this part Stalin actually helped CPC gain control of it. Stalin lent CPC planes to move troops to Xinjiang, also killed the Xinjiang separatists leader with a plane accident. I think Stalin thought the Chinese owned them for Xinjiang. • Dongbei, a lot of mixed emotions from both sides on the back and fore. After the Soviet troops curb stomped the Japanese Kwantung Troops. They took a lot of factory hardwares in Manchuria and shipped it back to Soviet. Granted in Stalin's eyes, they were Japanese factories, but to the Chinese, they were Chinese industries. Soviet wanted to keep their far east naval base in Lushun, which is basically at the choke point of the yellow sea. It took Mao a lot of effort to push the Soviet army out of Lushun and China. The price China had to pay was participating in the Korean war and sign on to team Soviet at the start of the cold war. As a result, Soviet didn't have any military base in China. I feel that Stalin was acting imperialist in his approach. Lushun is way to close to Beijing. Letting Sovet keep a naval base there was not reasonable. The CPC was not one of the Soviet's eastern bloc goonies, they didn't really need the Soviet help to win the civil war. And years later even the small request of keeping a long wave submarine communication station in China was turned down by Mao. Because at the time Mao was already planning to split with Soviet. As a result of PRC didn't cooperate with Stalin in the Manchuria region, Soviet didn't give China any convenience in Dongbei economic development. The entire upper Dongbei is surrounded by Soviet and N. Korea. The upper part is basically a landlocked country. The river between Russia and N Korea has a low bridge built on it to block commercial shipping. Basically for manufacturing shipping, you have to go all the way to the yellow sea. If China has a port in the north side of the Korean peninsula, they could have facilitate cheap commercial traffic with the west coast of Japan. People often say US's attempt to establish Asian version of NATO failed, don't forget Soviet couldn't get anywhere close to a Warsaw pack in Asia either. They only had military cooperation in Vietnam in the last leg of Soviet.

I'm ok at chinese and generally online translations from chinese to english are pretty good. I think it's because the grammar is similar. online translation from japanese or korean is usually hosed up though.
