Fauxtool posted:I hear that uncle xi is the new commander in chief for the brand new joint military command headquarters. This is the PLA not having an integrated command structure before and maybe finally getting one. Yeah there is a significant amount of keeping up with the west with that, but there is a good reason. But don't worry, the PLA is run by party officials and the closest thing to military action they have seen in the last 4 decades was massacring protestors; they'll keep on doing dumb poo poo for a long time to come. Fojar38 posted:also copying the us, but it isn't no why, it's "if we look like the US on the surface people will think we are as strong and cool as the us" They're going to have to stop doing the soviet trick where they list every outdated rusty hulk that they might be able to get across the border before it broke down before this happens. While there are some people stupid enough to believe that Russia has 18000 T-90s and poo poo, there aren't many of them. akulanization fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Apr 22, 2016 |

Such as the safety you walk alone at middle of the night in most city and village of China with money in your pocket. Not a suggestion, but you can do it, how about US? As for cut corner, there is always some in all projects, domestic and international .In my level what I can tell is things undercontrol.

Why do you not believe the plant is safe? But anyway, 300,000 people depend on it, so it does not matter if it is safe or not. It must be.

Sheep-Goats posted:I know it shouldn't but this really drove me up the wall in China. Almost every country on Earth calls it a "computer" with some kind of regional pronunciation malformation. Not China. actually it's really good and sensible and identical to what english did. We talked about this in the last thread. Chinese blows at using phonetics to borrow foreign names or words, and also kinda has the 'everyone should learn our language, not us learn their mongrel tongue' thing historically English just used foreign words, mostly greek and some latin, for tech, because english knew it was the mongrel tongue. Chinese used words people readily understood. Telephone = far away sound 電話 ＝ electric words Aeroplane = flat surface in the air 飛機 ＝ flying machine electricity = comes from amber 電 ＝ lightning electrocardiograph = electric heart drawing 心電圖 = heart electricity map etc English, especially since it's risen to lingua franca status, has technology words that are based on English roots, like motion picture 電影 ＝ electric shadow Cell phone 手機 ＝ hand machine Computer 電腦 ＝ electric brain hot tub 熱水浴缸 = hot water bathtub I sincerely like chinese more for doing that than just saying "sellu pone" or "sakka". Most of the technology composite words are super easy to understand, like hand machine, it's not like english where you have to literally learn greek to understand our technology words. I also like finding out western celebs have different, senseless names in China. Like Elvis is 'Cat King' for some reason, which sounds absolutely nothing like Elvis.
