CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ART: I don't get it, but it reminds me of something President Wilson said in 1928 to a group of PR men: "You have taken over the job of creating desire and have transformed people into constantly moving happiness machines. Machines which have become the key to economic progress." Liberation through economic development at the cost of ceding Chinese identity to vacuous, bobble-headed consumerism?

China doesn't have to reach the same peaks of prosperity as America/Western Europe. With almost 1.5 billion people they just need to advance a little further and then they'll be able to manoeuvre more comfortably into the role as a superpower

China is also a sausage fest since having a one-child policy in a patriarchal society created a situation where there are now roughly 40 million more young men than there are young women. That's basically the equivalent of every male in a country the size of Germany being relegated to prostitutes and sex dolls for the rest of their life.

The More You Know A three-day dog-eating festival in China that has been practiced for the last 600 years has been banned after a wave of online outcry. The annual festival held in Qianxi Township, Jinhua City in Zhejiang Province was cancelled after hundreds of thousands of netizens criticised it on social networking platform Weibo, news agency Xinhua reported. A Weibo user named Junchangzai launched an online campaign to condemn the festival and his post was retweeted over 100,000 times. Photos showing encaged, skinned and butchered dogs from past festivals were posted online to garner awareness on the upcoming festival. A survey administered by the local government reported that most local villages opposed the carnival. Junchangzai and other users also called on the government to intervene and ban the festival. After the festival was banned, Junchangzai said, "The government's quick response should be encouraged. I hope eating dogs will not be a custom there anymore. It's not a carnival, but a massacre." However, some villagers were unhappy with the ban. "It's our tradition, which the government has no right to ban," a villager told Xinhua. The tradition dated back to 1389 commemorates the troops of Zhu Yuanzhang, who secretly silenced the dogs by killing them before seizing Qianxi. After the victory, soldiers feasted on the slaughtered dogs. The tradition of eating dogs is celebrated by an ancient fair that was replaced by a modern commodity fair.

hm, i wouldn't know all I know is that in ancient china having a male lover made you cooler "The political ideologies, philosophies, and religions of ancient China regarded homosexual relationships as a normal facet of life, and in some cases, promoted homosexual relationships as exemplary. Ming Dynasty literature, such as Bian Er Chai (弁而釵/弁而钗), portrays homosexual relationships between men as more enjoyable and more "harmonious" than heterosexual relationships. As in Ancient Rome, homosexual relationships were prevalent in ancient China and were not regarded as morally deviant prior to the influence of foreign cultures. Writings from the Liu Song Dynasty claimed that homosexuality was as common as heterosexuality in the late 3rd century: All the gentlemen and officials esteemed it. All men in the realm followed this fashion to the extent that husbands and wives were estranged. Resentful unmarried women became jealous." lol

I've been told that even if gays aren't actively persecuted as in Russia, being gay is uncool because you are supposed to do your part to keep the Family going. Having gay sex really doesn't contribute to that. The pressure can be especially bad if you are a woman, as China is a giant sausage festival, the One Child thing is still a thing, and the family genes must be passed on somehow or the ancestors will be loving pissed.

But at least it's actually legal now and not considered a mental illness. 20 years ago it was illegal and classified as "hooliganism". The description for the crime of hooliganism in the Chinese law books was the vaguest poo poo ever, which literally ended with the words "among other things", so it was used for anything and everything such as gang activities, public brawls, vagrancy, loitering, and any sex crime that isn't rape. Pictures from a recent visit to a restaurant in China:   Did not order Old Smell Burning Colon, but Griddle Health Bacteria was delicious.  Sea turtles in a tiny pool in lobby, at least they weren't on the menu. Shanghaied fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Oct 22, 2014 |
