the colonialism of loans at below market rates also wages at foxconn (a taiwanese company and a place where the suicide scandals happened almost 10 years ago) have tripled, along with wages for the rest of the country but please, everyone, continue to pretend like you're following any news about china besides whatever garbage flits by your social media screens. it's not like the western media picks up stories when there's something negative to spin or cover, deliberately

the reason why chinese industry heads are buying up so much real estate is to get around strict capital flow regulations from the government. some friends have suggested this serves the dual purpose of reserving a safehouse in the event of an escape from the country and that the prc finds this preferable to a blood purge. i'm inclined to agree

everyone's been happy to talk cpc and marxism with me and love that i'm interested in their country from a position of respect and genuine desire to learn sometimes people are (understandably) wary but articulating marxist-leninist opinions dissolves that fast, because shockingly: they are shared by most chinese others are apolitical, which is fine and makes sense. everyone in a country of one and a half billion people, or even in a party of 89 million people, isn't going to be a committed ideologue the way members of encircled parties in the imperial center almost have to be. kind of the point of fighting a revolution — so future generations don't have to

rudatron posted:actually looking it up, they do have a green card, but they've only granted it to like 1500 people, and I'm gonna guess most of them are really rich you didn't read your source very carefully. the 1600 people you're referring to are green card recipients from 2016 alone. 8000 total, which isn't a lot, but as a proportion of the 600000 expats in china it's not nothing. and i expect that number to grow in the next few years no, i'm not rich

rudatron posted:well, 'expecting' isn't the same as 'will happen', yeah? just keep your options open the 2016 number is more than double the previous year. just figure the trends will continue and when i say indefinitely i mean that as literally as possible, ie i have no idea when i'll come back but it could happen sooner or later. i like it a lot here so staying in china for the long haul might just be the pragmatic choice. at the same time i want to dig into domestic political work again. so there's really no telling

ok so i lied and only watched the first 20 minutes of that video but in the last two they start making "i identify as an attack helicopter" jokes and claim americans never tell people to leave their country if they don't like it. so now i'm glad they don't feel welcome here

the other thing they don't seem to get, based on how much they harp on wanting to assimilate and wanting to "become chinese" is: that doesn't happen anywhere and believing you, the exceptional individual, can change this is itself a form of chauvinism.

rudatron posted:You're pulling out of the exact same apologist playbook, that you would 100% reject whenever people use it for the US. Which justifies my claim before, that you're distributing moral culpability according to what makes you feel comfortable, what is convenient for you, not what is self-consistent. no, you're just determined to do this weak-rear end gotcha poo poo rather than treat my perspective as one which comes from a study of history and the observation of material reality. you're hellbent on framing this in your terms and are no different than everyone else who pathologizes opinions other than their own
