skysedge posted:The quality of ROC military units varies depending where you go. As a general rule, the units comprised almost entirely of volunteers tend to be very professional and squared away, while the conscript heavy units tend to be less so (National Guard levels of quality or below). As you mentioned, the trend is now to go to an all volunteer force by 2014, although males reaching draft age will still be subject to 4 months basic training. Hey thanks for your posts. I'm really happy you chose to serve. I have a lot of Taiwanese friends and happen to have a vested interest in seeing Taiwan remain outside of the PRC sphere. Where I live in Canada a lot of mainland people have started settling here and almost all of them have poo poo opinions about Taiwan that amount to them treating it like it's their personal property. The mainland disregard for Taiwanese people, their self determination and their sovereignty is quite frankly disgusting and it's people like you that are a reminder to them that you guys aren't going to just bend over and take it.

They've built entire cities in the middle of nowhere from scratch in anticipation of large growth only to see them abandoned or very lightly inhabited. There is definitely some kind of asset price bubble going on and no amount of deflation is going to hide the truth that real-estate is over supplied and over priced.

So what's the best way to avoid trouble with the police in China then? It sounds like there are a lot of ways you can get arrested in spite of being mostly harmless to society.
