And yeah, even in Rot3K its easy to read between the lines and see that Liu Bei was probably a poo poo.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I wonder what pests he will order the Chinese people to kill. I'm going to guess bees because they are taking all those pollinating jobs away from hard working farmers. This has already been done. There are parts of southwest China where the bees have all been killed by pollution and pesticides and the farmers have to hand pollinate their apple trees.

Accretionist posted:My guess would be integrity of research methods. A few months ago, for a content mill, I wrote an article about penis size. Long story short, studies into penis size are almost all useless because they either rely on self-report, which gives you inflated figures, or self-selected volunteers, which gives you inflated figures. That can't be true... that would mean for every 6 incher there's a 4 incher, and 4 inches is really really small.

EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finishing System) is a pretty common exterior treatment, basically a cheap synthetic stucco. The combustibility of the foam is a known property and usually the other components of the system like the coating, backing, and mesh are selected to mitigate that. Like I wouldn't be shocked if that building is a deathtrap, but its more complex than just "lol foam."

I work in times square and I've seen a bunch of these from various places in China. I assume it's purely an internal dick measuring contest and they're not actually expecting Midwestern tourists to see a billboard and think more positively about Henan.

A guy my dad worked with got a mail order bride. He was Chinese but grew up in the US. His parents absolutely insisted he could only marry a girl from their hometown back in China. He was not able to find any in Brooklyn, surprisingly. This was pre internet so they went to a matchmaker who gave him a binder full of headshots to pick from. He went with the prettiest one, but had no idea what she looked like below the neck. It actually worked out great, they totally clicked personality wise. His wife lived through a lot of Maoist bullshit and thought American democracy and capitalism were the greatest things ever, she started her own business. I'm guessing this is not representative of how mail order marriages usually go. They aren't inflicting any nonsense on their children though. Their son just married a nice Hispanic girl he met at school.

Friend of my sister went back to India to get married in the family's ancestral village, and invited her white American bff to go with her to this town in the middle of nowhere. "White girl visits village" made the front page of the local paper. She had to stay inside to keep the proposals under control. One guy offered a herd of goats for her hand in marriage and was surprised to be turned down, cause it was a lot of loving goats.

The mention earlier that in China it is either Catholic/Christian suddenly explains why so many of them were insistent that the two were entirely separate religions not simply different denominations. Plenty of good old fashioned American evangelicals think that Catholicism is secretly a satanic conspiracy.

I personally have zero problem playing spot the mainlander (is their toddler currently making GBS threads on a newspaper?), was just curious if the reverse was true. My wife knows literally five words (一,二,三,人, and 山)of Chinese so it probably wouldn't be a problem anyway.

These airstrips are a military threat to places like the Phillipines, but no problem at all to the US Navy. So the only logical outcome of this artificial island business is everybody else in SEA cozying up to Uncle Sam. Does China not get this? Someone link me a British academic explaining how this is all part of an inscrutable plan that westerners (who lack the long term perspective of 5000 years of history) can't comprehend.

simplefish posted:people from the UK as customs chiefs, The foreign run China Maritime Customs Service thing started well before her. The foreigners first took over customs administration in Shanghai in 1854, since the Small Swords rebels had taken over the city and the Qing could no longer collect. The Qing dynasty was quite thoroughly hosed when she came to power, what with being in the middle of history's second bloodiest war. While she was not necessarily the prime mover of the Tongzhi Restoration, it's not really fair to try to blame her for all the failures during her reign without also giving her any credit for that decade when they kind of sort of got their poo poo back together. And yeah, the politicization of history in China is really frustrating to deal with. There's so much effort put into arguing "was figure x good or bad?" that would be better spent on "should we really be uncritically taking this primary source about figure x at face value?" I was reading this paper about the historiography of an obscure subject that doesn't need exploring at this juncture, and it had a sentence along the lines of "For a Marxist party which professes that the intellectual superstructure is always determined by the material base, they sure put a lot of effort into policing the superstructure."

Yeah, everything was being managed as ad hoc initiatives on a regional basis and managed by individual governors with little central coordination (this was a big step up from the 1850's when things weren't being managed at all). I heard an unverified anecdote that at some point during the Sino-French war, the French captured a ship, then got a letter from the Beiyang navy asking for it back. As far as they were concerned, only the Nanyang fleet was at war with France.
