I almost wish there were redditors back when I lived in china so I could spread nasty rumors about them to Chinese people.

Well, the ones with Trust funds are probably in China already, so it'd be a redundant effort.

I dunno why people are squeamish about giving bits of yourself that you no longer need. Hell, at least with blood you're conscious and sapient.

Normally that would be the case; but between harvesting from people the populace won't clamour over or letting party members and their affiliates die due to a lack of voluntary donors, it kinda becomes apparent.

Especially when you consider how many people affiliated with the CCP must be in real lovely condition with the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys.

Do Chinese also call other asians "laowai"? Or is it like the Thai word "farang" where it mostly just applies to white people?

They tend to use nation-specific ones for their neighbours, from what I've heard. Riben Gou, Gaoli Bang Zi, Lao Yin, that kinda thing.

A scene in the game Nioh got me to thinking (where the villain is shocked that a lord doesn't care if his daughter is killed by the villain), did Europeans during their fuedal age have as much rancor toward female heirs as Chinese/Korean/Japanese did? Has that been studied?

Most probably. Middle ages were pretty bad on that front all around.

Tell her it's a tradition for employers to give their employees a pink slip on Valentines, as a symbol of appreciation for their hard work. They then give them some time off (starting with that day) to spend with their loved ones.

So either they take in the good ones to steal the tech, or the bad ones for propaganda purposes. Either way, not the most subtle approach.

Which is the actual solution to the Chinese technology gap: send your people out of China to Europe or North America! Don't just steal ideas from other companies because then you'll never understand them, and be reliant on stealing again in the future to keep up.

Well, sending their nerds to developed countries for training's easy enough, as the last 20 years have shown. The hard part's getting the good ones back.
