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.

Grand Fromage posted:Between waiting too long to quarantine and CNY travel it's probably best to just assume it's everywhere in China by now. The outbreak's going to have to run its course. Hopefully it doesn't kill too many people. HEY! The quarantine started on day one. The CCP ensured those reports on the virus spreading wouldn't "infect" anyone.

Waltzing Along posted:If Chinese tourists weren't pouring so much $$ into Japans economy, I could totally see them getting banned. No one there likes them. Kyoto has even started passing anti-tourist laws due to there being too many rude tourists. Part of that is probably westerners I am sure. But you don't see anyone as bad as the chinese. There are some tourist heavy areas where you will see trash just left around. You know that isn't being done by the locals. The bus tours are a good source of rude people who leave behind trash and have a predilection towards vandalism (in most cases due to ignorance, and not malice). I posted about the Chinese bus tours and the havoc they wreaked on my cousin's Kayaking business in another China thread, but I think we've all heard about Chinese tourists climbing cherry trees, jumping in them, and breaking off branches to get better photos. When you live somewhere where you have a nearly year-round supply of loud, rude, and clueless people that you can almost never escape, you get to be a little resentful. Glenn Quebec posted:I honestly can't imagine leaving a muddy footprint, much less trash behind me in a place like Singapore/Japan How are jails in Singapore not overflowing due to spitting/littering Chinese tourists? Despera posted:Not going to lie, living 10 years in china, learning chinese, marrying into china, and having chinese children is a good cover for being racist against china I've known a few people who did exactly that. Immersed themelsves in the culture, and then became 110% racist against it, even thought their spouse and children were Chinese/Korean/whatever. Spetz/C-Milk are pretty goony, and I don't want to know the former's opinion on black people in South Africa, but I never got the impression that the were "racists" against China. More that they were frustrated with not being able to penetrate the "foreigner barrier" and watching the place become more and more of an Orwellian hellscape. I think it's more disappointment rather than hate, although they do (as everyone should) hate the CCP. Then again I can see how when talking about Chinese societal norms, it would sound racist to someone who doesn't know China.

Grand Fromage posted:I never actually stayed in a proper hotel hotel in the mainland, but I was advised if I did the first thing I should do is unplug the phone, because otherwise there are just constant calls about prostitutes all night. This is correct. First night staying in a hotel I received three calls from hotel employees of increasingly better English skills. 9:00pm - "Herroror you wa. . . . amowouh . . . nigah. . ." <dial tone> 10:30pm - "Hello, alone. . . help . . . nigah . . . help?" <dial tone> 11:00pm - "Hello, you need massage from pretty girl?

Patrocclesiastes posted:This got a chuckle out of me, that mustve been surreal I was expecting it because my wife (then girlfriend) told me what was going to happen when I checked in alone. She also passed alone the "scam story", and also told me not to follow anyone who wanted to show me around, to a tea house or restaurant, etc. (basically all the scams you hear about). What was surreal, was the next evening when I was trying to find the Sauna room. I asked the front desk which floor it was on and they said "down". I got off at the basement level and the laundry lady waved her hands and told me to go up. I went back to the front desk, asked again and they told me the 4th floor. I got off, walked around, and it was just another floor or rooms. I went back to the front desk, grabbed one of their brochures and pointed to the picture of the sauna. The desk lady took me to the elevator, pushed the 6th floor, and said "thank you". I got off and could tell it was a "different floor". One end of the hall had a bunch of KTV rooms. Another hall was full of conference rooms, and the last room I checked out was a hooker buffet room. Basically you go to this room, and there are like a dozen or more girls who do a show on a stage with lights and music, then you pick the one you want and she takes you to a room. When I walked in everyone snapped to attention and they turned on the music (the lights were already going). I stood there stunned for a few seconds then left. Turns out that hotel didn't even have a sauna room. I asked a room maid, and she pointed to the hotel across the street, then held up 2 fingers and then pointed "up". I went to that hotel's sauna room on the second floor then went back to my room for a nap.

hakimashou posted:I had a friend who died of a respiratory infection in China it wasn’t cool! Made a thread about a coworker in China who was feeling like poo poo, was having pain/trouble breathing, went to the hospital, and they told him he had cancer in both of his lungs, that one needed to come out immediately, and he'd be dead in about 2-3 months. He flew back to Swamp Germany and they gave him some antibiotics for his infection.

Ugly In The Morning posted:What the gently caress. Do they not biopsy poo poo over there before they just start cutting our lungs? He was a chain-smoking whore monger who spend every cent he had on beer, darts, and hookers. He was feeling like poo poo for a week, finally went to the biggest hospital in Shenyang and was told that he had lunger cancer after an xray. They said he would be dead by the end of the week or something like that if he didn't loose a lung, and that would buy him another 2 months (hard to remember). The expected bill for the procedure was something pretty massive as well. His school bought him a ticket, he went back to Europe, got treated for an infection, and never came back to his wife and child in China.

Wife's cousin in Jilin City was approached by a pair of "not cops" in blue raincoats, respirator, rubber boots, goggles and gloves armed with a "Type 97" assault rifle and told to show his ID. He did so, explained that he was allowed to go get some essential supplies, and continued on his way. He's stopped again by similar guys (not cops, not doctors, possibly Chengguan) and they check his ID and send him on his way. He notices that their apparel is very similar, but different. Off the shelf brand raincoat (still blue) and their masks are a different colour. This time he gets a better look at their Type 97 rifles and sees that they are airsoft (he was in the PLA for a stint and before that was an avid airsofter). He sees another pair walking down a street a few hundred meters away, and heads towards them to get a look. Same story, but these guys are armed with an even cheaper airsoft version of the Type 97, like a 90% plastic version. Now he's really curious. He walks towards a shopping mall that's a little out of his way, and there is a pretty big presence there. At this point it's become clear that they have been pulling extra bodies from whatever agency has some spare manpower, and have given them instructions on what to buy to create a "uniform uniform". Some people are wearing yellow kitchen rubber gloves, while some are wearing latex. He even saw some who were wearing the disposable plastic ones like people wear at Subway, and throwing them away after every interaction. Also the "weaponry" has gotten ridiculous. The PLA soldiers who are in uniform with masks and gloves are using (pinned) Type 97s that are used for training and are unable to fire Automatic, while some of the no-names out and about have obviously raided a local airsoft store because their loadout is hilarious (he was a gun nut, joined the PLA, and left after he realised that they don't actually train soldiers to fight). Some of the weapons he saw. (all airsoft, with crude attempts to paint or cover the orange tips) H&K MP5s AK-47s G-36s Some obviously fictional shotguns An MG-42!!! And tons of AR-15 variants. Overall he says that the officials in Jilin City seem to be doing a good job at keeping people from bunching up, making sure they are wearing protection, and keeping stores orderly and free of people rushing to try and clean shelves.

Grand Fromage posted:The beef was also kind of a dried powder before it was canned. It was from a post that I think predates "China.jpg" and I can never make the search feature work, but here is a tldr Wife's cousin signs up to be in the PLA After about 6 months they are told they will do target practice with the Type 97 assault rifle. Everyone is excite and bragging about how they will be the best shot. Next day they line up and one at a time shoot 3 rounds out of the rifle which is pinned to semi-auto only. 5 Minders per new soldier at the firing line. Everyone is shooting at the same target, so nobody knows how they are doing. They repeat this 3-4 times shooting off 9-12 rounds that day. They go to bed confident the rest of their training will be guns, grenades and cool combat stuff. 6 months later they repeat the same shooting exercise. All of the time between that is building maintenance, formation marching (for parades) and learning how to do civilian pacification. The most common exercise is practicing getting into the trucks quickly to be shuttled off to a place to quell unrest. He gets transferred to an armoured unit (he is an extra in an APC). They learn how to change the oil in their vehicles, drive them, clean them, and paint them for the Beijing parade. Nobody he has talked to has ever done what one would consider "combat training". Drivers just learn how to formation drive. He figures tanks shoot 1-2 rounds a year, assuming they are not being filmed for a propaganda video. He's deployed a few times to put down protests. They just line up in massive numbers and the protesters disperse. He gets out of the PLA as soon as he can.

I could eat Gamjatang and Samgyeopsal at least twice a week and not get tired of them. KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) would be a maximum once a week. As for Chinese food, good Malatang (the single serving, put all your ingredients in a bowl variety) would be my 2 times a week choice, with North-Western style Sweet and Sour pork coming in second.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:What is the deal with Ayis? They're the most selfish, impatient, destructive, and wasteful things on this Earth. The worst example I witnessed was a horde of them trampling a bunch of toddlers because they were in a rush to get some samples. "What were these coveted samples" you might ask? Children's books. A bookstore in Shenyang was giving out one per child and the old ladies rushed the table they set up in front of the store, sending the several small children that were lined up waiting to the wind. It looked like a dozen people each threw a bowling ball down the lane at the same time. Worst example I heard about was a food bank in the US giving out big bags of food, and naturally the bored Chinese grannies dominated the queue. They were so shameless that they were throwing the goods they didn't like in a trash can just a few feet away. The video used to be on YouTube, but I can't find it anymore.

Mozi posted:Oh yeah for sure. It's tragic and he's a clear symbol of how the government failed the people. Whether or not he's forgotten will depend on how things go from here; there are some indications that the spread may be slowing but given the uncertainty only more time will tell for sure. If it's not slowing and the effects both heath and economic continue to worsen then it could be the beginning of a larger movement, possibly. (Probably not but I'd be happy to be surprised.)

I wonder if the CCP believes their hold over the people to be so fragile that every single problem China encounters has to be the work of foreign powers. My wife never bats an eye over this kind of stuff since she can remember being a little kid and the news blaming everything on the US and Japan. The first time she started to question this, was the Hainan Island incident, when she wondered how a plane that looked so ancient could catch and hit a jet that looked so fast. She then wondered why you would try and hit someone in midair with a plane, as you'd be just as likely to kill yourself.

d0s posted:I can kinda understand the strategy with companies, they know that it will be an easy win because they react in a predictable way to keep making money. The attitude towards smaller nations as a whole like this thing with Denmark is what seems completely senseless, because there's no way the answer is going to be anything but "lol no", drawing more attention and praise to the artist. I thought it might be for internal propaganda purposes (big daddy China pushing around the hated west! just don't mention the response) but are they really drawing attention to the fact that HK protestors are inspiring artists on the other side of the world in the state media? This is a component, as the CCP always needs a scapegoat/villain to keep the people distracted with. "Economy is in the crapper and you have not been paid for a month because of Coronavirus? HEY LOOK OVER THERE! There are some foreigners disrespecting us!" It doesn't matter that the CCP can't make some art disappear. All that is important is that everyone in China knows that the west wants to keep them down, and the best hope is Uncle Xi and his "thought".

When I had pizza at an upscale restaurant in China my wife specified additional sauce (when we were ordering), as every pizza place puts little to none on their pizzas. When it arrived there was still just the nearly non-existent amount of tomato sauce on the crust, but they then remedied the situation by emptying 1/2 a bottle of ketchup over the top of it.

The fact that my wife explained it to the waitress and they still failed is pretty much no excuse.
