BrainDance posted:this is a good time for a new thread Lol, of course the profiteering cabbage incident was in Zhengzhou. Of course. (For those not as familiar with China, Henan province has a reputation among Chinese as being full of grifters, thieves, and scammers, and Zhengzhou is not only the capital but a shithole in its own right. Sort of like maybe....Newark? But in this hypothetical Americans would also honestly believe New Jerseyites are all a bunch of low level mobsters.)

lilbeefer posted:I've tried! My least worst effort was Lasiji which is a favourite of mine. But it's just not the same... Maybe the lack of gutter oil Honestly one of the things I noticed when I started cooking real Chinese was using massive amounts of oil is important to the flavor. I tried to cut it down so I wasn't ending up with a bunch of wasted oil, but it just doesn't taste right. It's like cutting the sugar out of Japanese food. You gotta go for it. The Food of Sichuan by Fuchsia Dunlop is a great Sichuan cookbook to pick up. I wasn't a huge fan of the old version but the recipes in this one are way more like what I ate in Chengdu when I lived there. It's good.

spacestronaut posted:So as an American trans woman, just how quickly would I vanish if I were to set foot on the mainland. (Aside from shenzhen, I've heard Americans can get away with a lot more there.) No one cares. You're fine. The government is explicitly anti LGBT but that's only for Chinese people, and even then they're not actively going after anyone. My experience with actual Chinese people (at least in the 30s and under range) is they're very tolerant, like just about everywhere I've been and explored the issue. My high school students were disappointed I was not gay because they wanted a gay friend like on their favorite show, Modern Family. Granted, I was living in Chengdu. Chengdu is the San Francisco of China, there's a whole neighborhood of out in the open gay bars and clubs and stuff. fish and chips and dip posted:I haven't been in China for two years, and its funny how the mind works. I kinda forgotten all the bad, annoying things, and I do sometimes miss living there. My life right now sucks so bad this is happening to me, too. I keep reminding myself I can live in a nice country like Korea and just visit China to get fat.

fish and chips and dip posted:Good on the Danish prime minister though More world leaders need to follow her example. The best response to China's hurt feelings has to be... quote:"There was no further need to explain Denmark’s position to China, she also said." That's all you need really. "We have free speech, you know exactly how this works, stop expecting us to change for you". Then again, China has been getting used to western corporations bending over, and pulling their asses agape whenever asked to by the CCP.

There’s a reason Haier was also seen as a weirdo here. Dude said he was frequently told he looked like Keanu Reeves and was also in China where there’s a metric shitton of women and he still ended up in situations like that constantly. Weirds gonna weird

Wooo new thread. China content: last time I was in Korea visiting the in laws, I picked up some 'Kakao friends' surgical masks as a novelty gift for friends back in the UK. Never got round to giving them to people, but have just donated them to my Taiwanese friend. Turns out her sister had come over to visit before the corona virus outbreak, and now has to fly back via Hong Kong, but can't get masks anywhere. Just hope it settles down (or has at least reached world ending pandemic) before I have to fly out to Seoul for BIL's wedding.
