This thread should raise high the banner (高举旗帜) of Marxism-Leninism, direct proper guidance (引领导向) of public opinion, focus on the central tasks (围绕中心) of the Party, unite the people (团结人民), encourage high morale (鼓舞士气), spread public morals (成风化人), create cohesion (凝心聚力), clear up fallacies (澄清谬误), distinguish between truth and falsehood (明辨是非), join China and the outside (联接中外), connect with the world (沟通世界). The thread must take on this mission and responsibility, and must place political orientation (政治方向) before all else, firmly adhering to the principle of the Party nature of the thread, firmly adhering to the Marxist View of shitposting(马克思主义屎发布), firmly adhering to correct guidance of public opinion (正确舆论导向), and firmly adhering to an emphasis on positive propaganda (正面宣传为主)

Guys i enjoy the china thread and haiers "stories" which may or may not be true. Honestly the poo poo he mentions about his family and india is just off the wall.

Also the posts about the book poorly made in china combined with that book the pilot wrote about being a foreigners working for Chinese airline.

I for one think that the China thread breaking down over an abundance of hurt feelings is the singular most appropriate thing that could possibly happen to it.

It's interesting how ill-suited some asian languages are for the cockpit. I heard an anecdote about Korean pilots being required to speak English because the (I know nothing about the korean language) conjugation and pronoun choice needed for a co-pilot to address his superior, the pilot, are very awkward to use to when correcting someone.

Basically don't fly Chinese airlines. And a lot of Asian carriers (i.e. Asiana, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, China Airlines [different from Air China], not to mention the likes of Lion Air and other Southeast Asian LCCs) are lovely due to Confucianism not being conductive to good Crew Resource Management (strict hierarchy, underlings are taught to never question superiors, corruption, etc etc. Just read the PDF).

Pay extra for US carriers. If you have to fly within China, stick with Air China if at all possible because as the successor to CAAC, they have had the most exposure to and experience with international safety standards.

overthrow the chinese communist party and publicly execute its officials

quote:

Nairobi - A lawyer representing some of the Taiwanese nationals extradited from Kenya to China said on Wednesday the Kenyan government acted illegally and he will be suing the state over the violations.

The incident is focusing new attention on Beijing's efforts to assert its sovereignty over self-ruled Taiwan, and the leverage it wields over smaller nations to achieve that.

Lawyer Steve Isinta said he represented 37 of the 111 Chinese and Taiwanese nationals arrested in Kenya over wire fraud allegations. Isinta said his clients were acquitted of all charges last week and the court ordered that their passports be returned and gave them 21 days to leave the country or re-apply to stay.

The government ignored the court orders, singled out 23 of his Taiwanese clients and deported them to China, he said. His clients were also held for four days without charge, he said.

Because GBS has a tradition that almost every good thread needs the undeserved, absolute hatred of a moderator who receives absolute, deserved hatred in response.

Reminder: Never trust anyone, especially when your passport is involved.


I know many of you think this is Day One poo poo, and you are all seasoned vets who have mastered the art of living in China, but just in case:
Guy was finishing his year contract at Happy Giraffe
Told his boss he was accepting a job somewhere else.
Boss got angry, asked 'why you no stay at happy giraffe?'
"yada yada life choices, want to move on, goals, thanks for the opportunity"
"Ok, if you change your mind, you are always welcome back at Happy Giraffe"
Employee asks for form to transfer his Z visa to another company, buys ticket to other city, ships all his godly possessions there.
Boss says he needs to renounce living in his apartment, since he won't live there anymore. Promises not to cancel anything else.
Police take passport, give him the TING LIU (essentially deportation) 5 days to leave China, don't let the door hit ya where god split ya
He calls boss, she says 'what, must be mistake'
I talk to the police on the phone (HSK-EXPERT WARNING) and they say theres no mistake, the school asked specifically for his visa to be cancelled and on the shortest time frame possible.
Boss calls guy again, says he needs to leave the police station because class starts in a half hour and he has 3 days left on his contract.
I had warned the guy about the dangers of going to the chu-ru-jing and producing his passport, but I guess everyone needs to get China'd a few times to learn for themselves. The police also mentioned this is NOT standard procedure, they usually don't get involved with these affairs unless the school asks them to AND the passport is brought to them.
TLDR If you are leaving a place of employment, its usually better to pull a runner/leave the country, don't expect anyone to smile happily and pay you your bonuses when they can just gently caress you instead

Serious talk for mods, the last china thread was basically the best one in gbs and having it closed made me sad. I don't know why gbs has a tradition of closing every thread that is in any way close to quality, but i think the tactic should be reconsidered
