I don't think anyone would deny that Shanghai's nightlife is unsavoury. That's not what I was talking about though. I'm talking about walking down the street in the middle of the day minding your own business and getting heckled by hawkers and scam artists. Things that are common in Hong Kong and Beijing but not ... Full Comment>>

I don't think they should be allowed to call themselves the worlds best selling beer. It barely even tastes like beer. Full Comment>>

Who has been to Shanghai recently? I've visited many times but I was shocked by how many people approached me trying to scam me the last time I was there. It seems like there are a lot of scumbags in Shanghai right now. Full Comment>>

I'm really curious to know whether you have ever actually left China and seen with your own eyes what other cultures are like. If you did I think you would be in for a shock. Also I must say, working 12 hours a day where 10 hours are spent playing on your phone is not working hard it's called working for a long ... Full Comment>>

Worst thing about people... the incessant need to categorize... I cannot bond with people who are not in my category because they think differently to me... BTW Guest14480640 your use of the word 'foreigners' has completely proven kaitangsou's point about ignorance. You clearly can't see the difference between a ... Full Comment>>

I think it's either getting more common or is just more common in the current province I live in. I've recently moved to Jiangsu having previously lived in Guangdong and Zhejiang. I am honestly shocked how often I see Western women with Chinese boyfriends here. To the point now that it is more common than seeing ... Full Comment>>

This sort of behaviour should be discouraged. I am a History teacher at a University and if a student begs me for anything then their grade is getting lowered. We aren't here to just teach them about the subject. Full Comment>>

Women in China are far smarter, far more funny and far better looking than the guys. The men just don't have anything going for them. I mean that beyond the gaofushuai bullshit too. Sitting around in your university classroom with a dumb look on your face isn't going to impress girls. Spending all night in a wangba ... Full Comment>>

There is so much racism in this comment section and complete idiocy that it's embarrassing. I just love to see people talk about history and politics and have no idea what they are talking about. Also along the lines of blaming one set of people over another. It's time that you all realized that we are all the same. ... Full Comment>>

I don't know where you studied history but I think you should ask for your money back. Full Comment>>

My teaching experience in China reflects what you have said. I'm currently on my fifth year of teaching here. My first school was a middle school where I was also required to teach in a primary school for six classes a week. I then taught at a high school. After that I taught at an adult English First school for two ... Full Comment>>

I'm not really certain where you get your basis for these arguments but judging by the countries of the world their government style seems to have little reflection on their progress and or their corruption level. I'm not sure how someone who is on echinacities and therefore most likely lives in China could be ... Full Comment>>

I don't agree with his statement but I most certainly do not agree with yours either. I'm sure I could name a number of democratic countries that are in complete poverty. China isn't exactly a dictatorship either. There are problems with democratic countries and socialist countries and even though I think that ... Full Comment>>

There was a similar video on reddit a couple of weeks ago. However this was in Britain and they removed a bridge over the M6. They completely rebuilt it and had traffic flowing withing 17 hours. This is a great achievement by the Chinese but let's not glorify the build as many countries would do the same if it was ... Full Comment>>

I doubt that students would even care about an English exam it's not like they take the subject seriously. Full Comment>>

Stealing is stealing regardless of the amount. Three months is an extremely light charge. Deserves a much longer sentence. Full Comment>>

I can imagine being the idiot who gets sucked in by this disgraceful man. I would think along the lines of "Imagine if I got stuck in a foreign country with no means of leaving and no one would help". So I would feel inclined to help a foreigner begging but it's bullshit that he can't get a job in China ... Full Comment>>

It shows how much they respect their education. Full Comment>>

People need to realize that this is clearly directed at new teachers. If you have been working in China for longer than a year then it is likely that you either know a large amount of this from experience or you have heard such things from other teachers who work or have worked in the different fields. Personally ... Full Comment>>

The drinking culture in this country is disgusting. People don't care about each others welfare and because of their dumb face culture people are too afraid to say no. Then when they do say no they are forced to drink. I can't count the amount of times I have been close to a physical confrontation with a Chinese ... Full Comment>>

It disgusts me that there is a photograph and that echinacities has no moral thought about using it. This sort of behavior needs to be discouraged. A child needing help should be helped immediately not after you have taken a photo of her. Full Comment>>

No one is to blame but China itself. I think the wage structure and the lack of professionalism from the majority of Chinese schools. Plus the borderline racist views that teachers should be white are the reason that schools have teachers who don't give a shit. When a teacher arrives in China full of enthusiasm and ...

This is the most vague news article ever. I have a feeling that it is bull. You know how the rumour mill works. Someone falls over in front of a large group and the next thing you know someone is telling a story about how someone was beaten to death in front of a large crowd. I guess that is why they call it Chinese ... Full Comment>>
