I'm constantly caught off guard by how limited the range of "normal" food is to a large chunk of americans. Like loving lamb is a weird exotic foreign food to many. Lamb?? No thanks I don't eat ethnic food.

Also, is it common for people having their minds blown when served whole fish, head on? I encountered people who were weirded out by it in loving Seattle of all places.

I'm inclined to believe that TCM originates in folk remedies, but they never tried to figure out why the folk remedies worked, and instead relied of hearsay, appeal of authority, and bolstering the claims through placebo effect and confirmation bias.

Entirely possible the tree bark was willow tree, which is known to have pain relieving effects. The problem for TCM is the true/false absolutes: part of it is bunk, part of it is real, but China will never separate the two from each other. Equally, dismissing all of it whole denies insights which science has proven accurate, but then that evidence is generalized into all of it being right.

I think the larger part of it is that if they were to systematically analyze TCM ingredients, the catalog of effective ingredients would drastically shrink. That would mean losing a lot of useless but incredibly profitable products, and we can't have that.

We're just over 3 months past what happened here. Unless there's been a dramatic change in governance, the political system of China in January is most likely the same one we see today. The central government has only so many people it can spread around to breath down the necks of local officials and watch over them. It's not exactly a stretch to think these local officials would go back to making poo poo up to get the higher ups off their backs once there is less pressure. This isn't proof positive that the Chinese government is lying about their numbers, but rather a warning that the Chinese government lies to itself.

In essence, 山高皇帝远

BrigadierSensible posted:

I would assume incompetence/neglect over malice.

Because what does China gain by sending inferior botched poo poo as aid? Especially as that aid has big "This is from China! Look how good we are!" written on the boxes and written large in publicity. They can only lose by sending the shoddy equipment. And indeed have lost a fucktonne of face, and trust and confidence in the eyes of the global community.

That's why I assume it is due to lazy, corrupt and incompetent factory workers/managers/practices rather than a malicious "Haha take that foreigners, you get poo poo, and only two boxes of it. Suck it."

On that: do you think the Chinese offiocials/embassy staff in Syria that went to greet the plane full of medical supplies to get a photo op knew that it would only be two little boxes? Coz if so, why agree to take that humiliating photo?

From China's POV, there was neither incompetence nor malice, because:

1. China sent out aid, which gains China face. Period. The quality of the aid does not matter, only the appearance/pageantry of giving aid.
2. China did not lose face from the poor quality of aid. Rather, the other countries lost face for such blatant ingratitude.

My 'favorite' part when this happens is extra syllables and sounds materializing out of nowhere. It's like they're merging their attempted pronunciation with an 'Asian' accent and frantically mashing 'Submit'.

Right, but next time the foreigner will buy from a company that has some kind of support.

Next time? Why are you thinking about money that you don't have yet? I have the money from the transaction NOW. Look, I know you have many bad foreigner ideas about business, so let me explain how to do business correctly:

- You need to make as many Things as you can in the shortest time. That way, you can sell and ship more Things.
- Quality control is a big dumb roadblock that stops you from making and shipping more Things. Short circuit it anytime you can.
- Taking less money now so you can maybe get more money later is dumb, dumb, dumb. Get as much money as you can NOW.
- On the same subject, don't waste money on R&D, wait for some dummy to waste money on it and take their poo poo. Easy.
- Sometimes customers will complain that the Thing that you made isn't 'to spec' or some nonsense like that. Wrong! They wanted a Thing, you made a Thing, now you need to get paid. End of story.

strange feelings re Daisy posted:

The anti-black and anti-hispanic racism is more mystifying and arbitrary to me. I have seen Han people online talk about Mexicans "polluting" white America and that poo poo just makes my head spin.

It's not arbitrary at all because lovely colorism is like the background radiation of Asia. China, Korea, and Japan basically view all SE Asians as their Mexicans and treat us accordingly.

Han Chinese bemoaning Mexican immigration into white countries makes perfect sense because they are basically Asian WASPs. It only took me a couple months into my time in Dongguan to realize, "Ohhhh, the white people are palette swapped here."

I joked in previous Chinathreads that mainland Han Chinese are White People 2.0, but it bums me out sometimes how well it's tracking.

serpentza was an entertaining watch because of the increasingly strenuous gymnastics he had to do to dance around hot-button subjects. When he touched on one of those subjects, there would always be this torrent of qualifying statements to get the wumaos of his back (not that it stopped them from trying to hassle him anyway, chuds are chuds, regardless of country).

Watching the dam crack and eventually break was also entertaining.

That's what I usually say, but I think I should update it to "The CCP wants to collect tribute from a world it refuses to understand," because it really looks like the CCP doesn't even want the token administrative responsibilities of a colonial power. It feels like they just want the old medieval vassal state setup they enjoyed during their 5000 years of history.
