I like watching Chinese people struggle to use a knife and fork to eat their corn covered pizzas. Also burgers.

Netflix has made an episodic retelling of Journey to the West in New Zeeland with no Chinese actors. Cue Chinese hurt feels with claims about white washing.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-39728636

quote:

The lead actor is Thai, while others have Maori or Pacific Island backgrounds, but it caused a now familiar outcry.

quote:

Chinese studies scholar Jason Zhuang says it lies in the powerful narrative of the original 16th Century author.

"The pure storytelling dynamics of Wu Cheng'en will never be replicated elsewhere.

"It's a great novel that tells of important Chinese qualities
. Each character also represents different values."

Prof Qu says the novel is "very suited to be adapted because of its appeal with young people". It shows "the imagination and sense of humour among Chinese people".

While there are other great Chinese novels, Journey to the West offers strong dramatic and comic content, he says, along with elements like fairy immortals, demons and ghosts.

"Readers and viewers love the Monkey King's fighting spirit and optimistic attitude towards life," said Prof Qu.

"His playful nature is also still beneficial to our modern society, under heavy stress."

Everybody misses that fact they need to stop making this poo poo. That horse has been beaten into dust and the clubs themselves have long shattered.

I swear to god if someone recommends another version of this in person I am going to strangle them.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Glorious Chinese culture just produced it's own aircraft carrier

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_001A_aircraft_carrier

For some reason it didn't include a catapult system

quote:

It retains the ski jump takeoff, which limits her air wing to helicopters and Shenyang J-15 fighter jets; future Chinese carriers are planned to use catapults that allow the launch of heavier aircraft

That's rather odd. You normally see them getting support from the structure they are working on so each part of the scaffolding is only supporting itself locally especially that high. No surprise it fell over.

How does China feel about the fact that there's still a Peace Corps presence there? Does the World's Largest Economy not think it's strange that after 5,000 years of civilization they're still asking unskilled 22 year olds from the Unnamed Country to come help them plant carrots and speak English?

quote:

With India, China, and Japan accounting for three of the world’s four largest economies (as measured by PPP), and rapid growth in two of them, Asia is becoming the world’s economic center, though today the US and the EU together remain substantially larger.

This paragraph :psyduck:

"Asia is the world's economic centre, even though the North Atlantic economy is substantially larger"

Why do policy wonks want to crown Asia king of the world so loving badly

I don't think that you guys know that Western Civilization is bad, and the sooner that the East eclipses it and causes its downfall, the better. This is inevitably going to happen because of the following reasons...

-North America is sitting on a massive wealth of natural resources
-China is running out of clean drinking water and non-toxic farmland
-The West continues to be the centre of technological innovation
-The US has been, and continues to be the driving force behind popular culture
-China/Japan are starting to feel the effects of massive demographic imbalances regarding age and gender
-China is experiencing a social divide that is only outdone by Gulf States and might be a flash point
-China's economy has been steadily loosing private investment, and the CCP has been trying to offset it with government investment
-Everyone who manages to make enough money to escape. . . escapes.

Oh wait! I mean. . .

-China posts a ton of bullshit economic numbers that contradict themselves
-China's leaders say that they are going to do everything better than anyone else by 2020
-Pseudo-economists in the UK love to fellate the CCP in the British media
-Almost literal retarded people in the US/Canada/Australia believe pseudo-economists in the UK
