Depends on who you're talking to; is it someone who lives in China or a Chinese nationalist living in the West?

Just your typical Haier tantan matchup. The type that complains about chinese stuff then calls you racist when you agree. Thats my favourite.

I've had this explained to me that the west actually provides a much worse actual education because the tests are easier and western education is lazy and doesn't involve 26 hour a day rote memorization, but due to racism and the west temporarily having too much clout in the world getting a western education carries more prestige. The west and it's education isn't better, it's in fact worse, but due to imperialism and racism a western degree opens more doors so that's the only reason!! It's NOT better and one day (2020??) people from all over the world will more correct respect asian degrees. Westerners don't go to China/Asia for school because they are too lazy and stupid, will fail our much stricter and harder system.

This just makes me want to dovetail the convo to their automobile industry using their previous argument against them.

The great part about that story is that they also mentioned that in the gift bags that were given out at one of the marathons, there was a bar of grape scented soap. However since the manufacturer had chosen to use English on the wrapper to make it seem exotic, quite a few of the runners thought it was an energy/protein bar and ate the soap.

If it were any other politician I'd say it was the US trying to force China to save face by agreeing their president was insulted by NK, possibly starting a rift between the countries. But it's trump, and it was over twitter, so lmao ??????

A Kiwi friend of mine has married her Chinese husband. She is mid-30s, got married last year. She has had some health issues but seems ok now. Hubby is around the same age and is the 2nd son. A musician (ex indie music scene) and I reckon he's slapped her around at least a couple of times (she had to stay at my place for a couple of nights soon after they got married because all of a sudden he realised he was married and the pressure of being a 'provider' (which he isn't, she supports him) got to him (I got wechat message messages saying he was going to throw all her belongings out of their 6 story apartment if she didn't contact him, usual passive aggressive Chinese emotional bullshit). They could not get married until the older brother had married. And they can't have kids until the older brother has a child first, despite my friend's advancing age (pretty sure she is now 38). I told her they should just go for it but she said nah, can't do it. The MIL would kill them and it would be a total loss of face for the older brother and his wife. How hosed up is that???

idk what the hell i thought it was now. I honestly thought it was a cast iron pan over a heat source with a suuuuuper shallow layer of oil and u barely touch the meat to the oil to cook it, just for like a second.


but the google image pics are like:

and u soak the stuff in it and it doesnt even look hot enough to cook ur stuff, though im sure it is

it's telling how there are so few 'after' pictures of the deliciously-carpaccio-seeming meat actually cooked. it's waterlogged, skinny sliced beef with all the fat rendered out. the plate i posted? each piece results in one bite.

the promise is



the reality is



at least at the one i ate at, you got individual pots of water, they said health code wouldn't allow one big pot for everyone to marinate their chopsticks and poo poo in, maybe that's the difference

i actually did like the rice they make you with the broth to take home, though, that alleviated the 'im still loving starving after sitting here for two hours' aspect of hot pot for me

ohh poo poo, yeah. that first pic is what i was picturing, like exactly. thats what I want. not that gross soup poo poo. that looks disgusting.

im permabanned poster haierstomper58. i first started reading about martial arts when i was about 19. by 21 i got really obsessed with the concept of "qi" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "taiji" and "i should breath into my stomach" in my head for hours, and my stomach would get really round, start getting really bad bloating etc, basically hiatal hernia. im now on proton pump inhibitors. i always wondered what the kind of "Chinese" style of breathing was all about; i think it's the esophagus leaking in to the stomach, what TCM theory considered to be the cause of diabetes and hypertension. i would advise all people who "get" qi to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to acid reflux.

This is the sort of news which makes a company scour its IT department for breaches, because while it's possible they made it, it's just as likely they stole it, and they have only themselves to blame for that suspicion, as that's their answer to cottage industry manufacturing.

But wow, this seems like the sort of thing you don't point out:

"You assemble iphones and McDonald's kids toys, but this year, TYOOL 2017, is the year you manufactured a ballpoint pen without imports. Just this year. Not 20 years ago, or 10, or even 5, but this year. What have you been signing all your documents with before now? Inkwells and brushes?"

Yeah it's because the tip of a pen needs to be of a surprisingly high quality material with basically zero imperfections or else it won't roll, and it took them this long to hack the germans i guess?
