Give it some time. I took my girl two years, and now she talks about money a lot more than before. I asked why now and not before. She responded, "Because I am Chinese." Full Comment>>

Articles : juanisaac commented on news Considering Crimea: Should China Side With The US or Russia?

They will side with Russia. The Chinese get a lot of ther oil, gas, natural resources, and the like from Russia. Not to mention foodstuffs like wheat and corn. Together, the Chinese and Russians can be a bulwark against the U.S.A. and Western Europe. If you go to site for Zerohedge China has already demanded Ukrain ... Full Comment>>

Articles : juanisaac commented on news Money and Affection: Understanding the Financial Motives Behind Chinese Relationships

You did well in taking your time. I can't tell all the times I've made wrong decisions because of being pressured. Forget it! When that happens to me in China I just tell them that I will make a decision when I am ready. And if I am not fast enough for what they want- too bad. Full Comment>>

Articles : juanisaac commented on news Money and Affection: Understanding the Financial Motives Behind Chinese Relationships

I feel for you. The government job is what the Chinese call the "iron bowl." It is something you will always have until you somehow miss a hong bao payment. On the average government workers do earn less than some teachers. I am not extremely wealthy, but I do earn way above the average government worker in my small ... Full Comment>>

Articles : juanisaac commented on news A Bar Too High: Marriage Survey Shows Women Have Higher Standards Than Men

I know a good-looking Chinese man who is a manager at a local company. He tells me of his dates and girlfriends. Some of the demands he gets are truly ridiculous. Not so long ago he broke up with a girl who demanded he spend at least 100,000 on the wedding, plus the house and car. Another girl, who already owned a ... Full Comment>>

Articles : juanisaac commented on news The Inn is Full: Why Are Nations Turning Their Back on Chinese Immigrants?

Many, many countries are becoming anti-immigrant, except the USA, because of hard economic times. Switzerland just had a referendum tightening immigration laws and they were not aimed at the Chinese, but Muslims and Eastern Europeans. China just tightened it's own visa laws last year. The Chinese have this chip on ... Full Comment>>

Canada as a sovereign country has the right to have their own laws and rules concerning immigration. China certainly does as well. I just finished doing a six month saga trying to get and receive all the extra paper work the new government laws required for a Z Visa. China, Canada, and many other countries are all ...

Where a chest protector or body armor. Have you heard about what happened to some German guy in Shanghai whom a man suspected was having an affair with his wife? He went in the restaurant and stabbed him a few times. If your "side-chicks" are consenting adults, that is one thing. But if you are running around with ... Full Comment>>

Yes, but a rising valued in the Yuan also means lower exports. The Chinese have a stockpile of a lot things and to remain competitive they may have to lower the Yuan a bit.

Divorced women with children are also picky. I am all for women being safe and choosing a good man, so some discernment is needed. However, there has to be a limit to expectations as well. I've been on dates with two divorced with children, and I got dumped twice already! After sometime I gave up having more dates ... Full Comment>>

I hope I am wrong, but if you look at some of the U.S. reels of pre-WWII about the Japanese-Chinese War, the Japanese were demonized. These stories remind me of that era right before fighting started. Seems, that is why boob and child touching non-Chinese have to be made news for Chinese to see what the Middle ... Full Comment>>

Motherly supervision at age 12 is ok, but late 20's and mid 30's is taking it to extremes. Reminds me of my ex-girlfriend that even in her mid-3os did nothing without her mother's approval first. Moms need to cut the umbilical cord way before graduating with a Phd. Full Comment>>

I need a camera too when I get "harassed" by the waiter at my school's canteen. Last time I was there he asked me to compare the "sexual organs" of Chinese and foreign women.

Your opinion does not chaff me at all. But the Chinese students need something to differentiate from those who can go one university or another.

I believe you just got caught in between a political dispute between China and the Philippines. Also, some provinces "interpret" the laws differently than others provinces so you will never get uniform application. Try to look into rural China or small cities where less teachers want to go. These places have a ... Full Comment>>
