How foreign protests against Yulin’s dog meat festival may have backfired

This is pretty much the same thing that is keeping the Japanese whaling industry afloat. It's a costly, heavily-subsidized industry that has almost no demand for the product. Because foreigners are making such a stink, the industry, government, and even the Japanese people are not willing to abandon it because it would be admitting defeat and losing face. Demand for whale meat is so low, that it ends up being dumped in school lunches and dog food, or used as fertilizer. Pretty much the only people who eat it are nostalgic old people who remember having to eat it after the war, and apparently the segment of that demographic that actually buys whale meat is very low as well.

The dog meat festival will never end because there will always be demand for the product and money to be made.

I don't really understand your post but I went to the famous Korean LA bathhouse known as Wi Spa and some closeted creep kept following me around when I was clearly moving to avoid him and eventually tried to reach for my thigh so I loudly told him to gently caress off and drew attention to him.

When I first went to Korea I checked out the spa/sauna in the Hamilton Hotel. I went through the typical routine, and went in the different temperature sauna rooms, used the exercise equipment, had a dip in the hot tub, had a shower and went to one of the sleeping rooms. About half an hour after I conked out I woke up to a Korean guy in his early 40s lightly grabbing my dilz. I freaked out, he apologized, and I got dressed and headed to the subway. Wasn't until a month or two later that I found out that the Hamilton Spa/Sauna was a really well known gay hookup place.

quote:

A warning indicator for banking stress rose to a record in China in the first quarter, underscoring risks to the nation and the world from a rapid build-up of Chinese corporate debt.
China’s credit-to-gross domestic product “gap” stood at 30.1 percent, the highest for the nation in data stretching back to 1995, according to the Basel-based Bank for International Settlements. Readings above 10 percent signal elevated risks of banking strains, according to the BIS, which released the latest data on Sunday.

The gap is the difference between the credit-to-GDP ratio and its long-term trend. A blow-out in the number can signal that credit growth is excessive and a financial bust may be looming.
Some analysts argue that China will need to recapitalise its banks in coming years because of bad loans that may be higher than the official numbers. At the same time, state control over the financial system and limited levels of overseas debt may mitigate against the risk of a banking crisis.

In a financial stability report published in June, China’s central bank said lenders would be able to maintain relatively high capital levels even if hit by severe shocks.
While the BIS says that credit-to-GDP gaps have exceeded 10 percent in the three years preceding most financial crises, China has remained above that threshold for most of the period since mid-2009, with no crisis so far.
In the first quarter, China’s gap exceeded the levels of 41 other nations and the euro area.

The data feed into debates about the outlook for the Chinese economy after a build-up in corporate leverage since the global financial crisis. The latest information was released by the BIS at the same time as its quarterly review.

So yea re-reading your posts you do actually actually come off as homophobic (even in your posts themselves) which usually manifests itself as incredible awkwardness when talking about gay poo poo, using 'homosexuals', etc. So in conclusion you are either closeted or homophobic or just incredibly sheltered/awkward since you didn't immediately just drop the subject or turn it around after getting the first weird expression to your comments.

Dude I am a loving dyslexic goon of course my post are awful and awkward.

But singling out word choice? I went with a formal, clinical term. I didnt use a pejorative, nor did I endorse of condemn the practice of homosexuality, I just talked about yelp reviews for gay bath houses because they were funny. Hell we even had a thread on that very topic a year or so ago here.

Hi /r/China,

From now on we are going to start enforcing the "no circlejerk" rule more strictly when it comes to CCJ terms.

This means that rainy, rocky, nong, and tim will no longer be allowed on /r/China. These words are considered CCJ slang as they either originated in /r/chinacirclejerk (now /r/CCJ2) or became popularized there.

There are a few reasons for this:

Rainy - Although this word was originally created to describe a certain archetype of Chinese women, it is too often used as a catch-all term for Chinese women in general. For many people it feels racist and/or misogynistic, and we think /r/China would be better off without it. For similar reasons the male equivalent, Rocky, is not acceptable either.

Nong - Similar to "Rainy," nong is too often used in a racist way to refer to Chinese people. Even when it is used to mean nongmin it is derogatory and often offensive. It's just not necessary, and no longer welcome on this subreddit.

Tim - This isn't racist or sexist, but it is often used in an rude and offensive way and makes /r/China feel hostile, unwelcoming, and cliquey.

In general, these words are often used offensively, to insult, or dehumanize, and they make /r/China seem like a bitter male expat's club, with its own negative terminology for newbies and Chinese people, when what we really want to create is a more friendly, welcoming, open and accessible subreddit where anyone with an interest in China can feel comfortable posting.

We would rather not ban people for this so will just be giving out gentle warnings at first, and if you really want to use these words, /r/CCJ2 is alive and thriving, and is a place where you can pretty much say anything you like.

This is a great community, and we hope that this will make it even better. Please help us out by using the report function if you see a post or comment that we have missed and please continue to report racism and spam, thanks!

What / who is Tim Budong?

Tim Budong is a play on the Chinese phrase ting bu dong, which translates to "I don't understand". Hence, a Tim Budong is a clueless, FOB (read: fresh off the boat) foreigner. The female version of a Tim is called a Tina Budong.

Nothing, but China's never letting Tibet go. Why not post it here?


Edit:

quote:

Located at a high altitude on an average of 4,500 meters, it is richly endowed with fresh water contained in its oxygen deprived vast glaciers and huge underground reservoirs.

It is in fact the largest repository of freshwater after the two poles, Arctic and Antarctic, thus claiming the sobriquet, the “third pole.” Many of the world’s greatest rivers flow out of the Tibetan Plateau — the Yellow River, Yangtze Kiang, Mekong, Salween, Sutlej and the Brahmaputra.

More important, in terms of human geography, almost half of the global population currently lives in the watershed of the Tibetan Plateau. This explains the enormous importance of Tibetan freshwater for China.


China, on the whole, is an extremely arid country. One quarter of the country consists of deserts.

China has severe water shortage challenges. At the same time, most of its rivers are either too polluted or are too silted to quench the thirst of 1.3 billion people.

China is 20% of the world's population, only has 7% of the world's renewable fresh water. It's neeever letting go of Tibet.
