Articles : Samsara commented on news 60% of Chinese Millennials Love Halloween but Know Nothing about its Origins

"It is important for them to understand the origin and culture behind the holiday." --- So, because Chinese people know the "culture" behind the Chinese New Year, that makes sitting in front of a TV watching a rubbish celebrity guest show for 3 days meaningful, not tacky. --- CHINESE PEOPLE MUST MAINTAIN AUTHENTIC ...

MAINLAND tour guide runs coerced shopping tour to extort MAINLAND tourists. Fisticuffs ensue. Mainland Chinese scamming / extorting / attacking each other is not newsworthy. It's just a shame Chinese culture is now spilling out into the civilised world. Full Comment>>

I have no sympathy for anyone involved in China's bullshit drinking culture. If a Chinese man drinks himself to death and his "friends" get punished I consider that a Win-Win scenario. --- Chinese "men" need to collectively grow some backbone. Being forced to drink alcohol because you are too scared to say no ... Full Comment>>

Around China : Samsara commented on news Foreign Businesses Can Get Certified to Deal with Chinese Tourists

Let me see if I understand this correctly. Businesses can get a certificate by REDUCING their standards?

But most of those cases are justified because the woman made the Chinese man angry. So he had to punch her in the face. Habitually, for 20 years. And cut off his nephew's ear. And torture dogs. Full Comment>>
