Around China : BlightyMatt commented on news Seven Same-sex Chinese Couples Married in California

Good luck to them! I knew a few guys in China..."They are getting married?...Really?" Poor wives and husbands...living an unfullfilled lie. It's still 1950 in China. One student of mine declared the she had "never met a gay man"...I told her that she had, but just didn't know it. The owner of the school for ... Full Comment>>

Articles : BlightyMatt commented on news China Wants to Make Getting a Green Card Less Impossible for Foreigners

Typical fake window dressing....as usual! "China loves & values laowai"...utter codswallop! The reason I left was that I just couldn't see any fair way to stay and build a future in good old zhongguo. Even the sacred Da Shan doesn't live in China! He pockets the dosh and hightails it to hoosier-ville. How many ... Full Comment>>

Blogs : BlightyMatt commented on nzteacher80 's blog Going to Hospital

Hospital sucks! Useless waste of time. Crippled with sciatica so bad I couldn't walk 2 meters. Finally dragged to hospital where the two quacks declared that I had "Piriformis Syndrome", prescribed two lots of pills that did sod all. Was only sorted out by a TCM guy recommended by the local taxi driver who suffers ... Full Comment>>

Around China : BlightyMatt commented on news China Experiences Largest Stock Market Surge in 7 Years

This is local stock market for local people, there's nothing for you here. But seriously this will end in tears mark my words. People are buying on margin (borrowed money to gamble), the average zhou see's it as a one way bet. Do some digging online, the photos of knitting grannies looking at screens and the banana ...

Articles : BlightyMatt commented on news Should the World Fear Chinese Soft Power?

This is half the problem. China's idea of soft power is all just fake window dressing. I hate to say China because its not China per se it's "you know who". They are falling into the same trap as the Japs did in WW2 with the "Asian Co-prosperity Sphere"...Asia for the Asians, kick out the exploitative western ... Full Comment>>

Excellent comment! Bang on... Add that it is very difficult to build anything due to the impermanence of life here. Even if you can stick the negatives of daily life there is very little reward for doing so. When your usefulness is gone, so are you. Build a business, raise a family, buy a property, all built on ... Full Comment>>

Articles : BlightyMatt commented on news Settling Down in China? Understanding The Chinese Spousal Visa

Sorry but I think #7 The-Final-Say has it right on the money. The spouse visa is not for Laowai males, its not designed for us and I can't see it changing quickly in the future. Its for females from neighbouring places to marry Chinese men. So no need to work on it as your job is to be a mother and housewife and ... Full Comment>>

Mindful of Samsara's comment. When I returned from China to the UK, I was listening to the BBC.
