does anyone recall the name of that documentary about an old, very angry illegal shop stall owner in Wuhan clashing with a very bored PSB operator repeatedly go figure, finding obscure docs involving Wuhan via search engines has become uh... difficult over the last few years

I just know that Sinovac was pushed here as something you get 3 shots of. it’s inferior because you can’t get the olds to take three shots, apparently. saying sinovac is just as good is like saying the pull-out method is just as good as condoms because the efficacy is “close enough” when you do it properly

Possibly a dumb question: I’ve been seeing people on Housing Twitter (yes, it’s real, yes, it’s tedious) refer to a combination of rent control and not building new housing as “a de facto hukou system”. What is the hukou system? Is this hyperbole?

thetoughestbean posted:Possibly a dumb question: That’s a hell of a take. It’s roughly official residency, and is somewhat restricted as far as “officially” moving. The general issue is with migrant workers not having official residency for where they live, and thus being locked out of local services, like public schooling.

thetoughestbean posted:Possibly a dumb question: That's pretty stupid. The hukou is sort of a caste system. You have a government residency assigned at birth which is broadly divided into urban or rural. You are required to live in the area the hukou says you live. Nothing stops you from moving from rural to urban to work, technically, but you are unable to access social services, your kids can't attend school, you can't get medical care, etc, so realistically you're stuck. There are no advantages to rural hukou that I'm aware of. Urban hukou holders get services that the rural people don't. It's mainly a system to make sure the rural poors stay rural and can't permanently relocate to the cities--you can come and do poo poo work for us urban elites but then you have to leave. It is technically possible to get urban hukou if you're rural, it's quite difficult though. Roughly 2/3 of Chinese are rural hukou.

Grand Fromage posted:There are no advantages to rural hukou that I'm aware of. When the government rents land in a rural area, the rent they pay goes into a fund and on holidays is divvied up among the rural hukou holders wherever they're renting from. Sometimes it's an actual decent chunk of money. This is also the main motivation for the single family that makes up like half of my wife's village party, they skim a big chunk off the top. Edit: it's around 500rmb a holiday for them, but it used to be a lot more for them, but then said family happened and a lot of rules got changed making it really hard to get them out. I'm sure in some places where the government's renting nothing it's nothing and places where they're renting a lot/the local party isn't blatantly corrupt it's more.

thetoughestbean posted:Possibly a dumb question: What city are you referring to? The issue with "artificially low" rents, is you get people who will never be able to move, because having your housing budget increase by X% is something now one wants. I know a guy in california. His landlord got lazy about increasing rents then the state changed rental rules as in rent increase can only happen every 12 months and only by some wonky formula. The short version is this guys rent is like 400 cheaper then places next door. Now the plan for him was to basically save up, change jobs and get mortage, its what his neighbors have done. The normal arguement would be that for what he paying in rent he could be paying for a loan, and moving up the property lander. But if lets say you stop new housing stock from coming on line then he would just be traped in that unit. Still not a loving hoku system.

Nowhere in the Communist Manifesto does it say you should produce a steaming humanitarian disaster zone, therefore communism has never been attempted and cannot be held responsible

eSports Chaebol posted:gently caress it, I wanna try the gutter wine I work for a company that handles wine awards, and we get a fair bit of Chinese wine through, and some brave souls like myself end up actually drinking them; specimens like this 'Chateaux Huadong Perry' which I kept some tasting notes on.  - initial notes of vinegar and burnt plastic, yet almost no body. It is somehow slightly grainy on the tongue despite the watery mouthfeel. - the first few mouthfuls may have fused most of my taste buds as all I get now is a general sweetness, with a fairly mild chemical aftertaste. - actual cherry and generic 'red wine flavors' are starting to push through the greasy film of awfulness. - most of the flavor seems to evaporated after letting the glass breathe a bit further; a slight whiff reminiscent of fruit, a slight battery-acid burn at the back of the throat.
