This is NOT the first time I heard of Chinese doing this... In one story, a Chinese woman and her husband kept 1 000 000 RMB in a trash bag in their closet. Their cleaning woman, thinking it was trash, grabbed it one day and rode to the trash yard. On the way... she heard a screeching sound behind her... getting ... Full Comment>>

Me too, I was also expecting to see Qingdao and Dalian on the list. Full Comment>>

Board the plane and do what exactly.... act first and think later kind of culture? Full Comment>>

I don't think this surprises anybody... at all. Full Comment>>

I will take this as a satirical piece and leave it at all. Was it funny? Not really, but Malgorzata Modlinska is one hell of a name! Full Comment>>

All around ridiculous. Full Comment>>

Chinese, I hope you guys know the whole world is laughing at you. Full Comment>>

Yup, your findings match my own listed above. Full Comment>>

Yeah, this article is full of crap. In my city, the average Chinese earner makes about 1500-3000 per month. Let's say the mother and the father are both working so that is like 3000-6000 RMB per month. Which is about 36 000 - 72 000 per year. That sounds more like the average middle class family around China. In ... Full Comment>>

Since when it is ever "Holy" to kill innocent people? Why don't these terrorists target officials or the actual people that cause them so much grief? Isn't it cowardly to attack innocent civilians? Full Comment>>

Bad parenting always costs the parents sooner or later. Whether it is in grief, sorrow or just shelling out a ton of cash. Full Comment>>

Something is very wrong about how this article is translated or written. "Wang came under a spell and embraced the girl in what turned into a struggle." "Wang then understood that he fell for the girl’s trick." Seems like we have a witch here. She put a spell on poor Wang and then tricked him ... Full Comment>>

@tsmithfi - Haha. That's true, and while the grandparents do supervise them a little better, that's probably why the parents obviously don't have a clue what they are doing. But what can you expect from a culture where a marriage is most often composed of a business deal for the purpose of pumping out children to ... Full Comment>>

If you watch the video, the guy doesn't TOSS he kind of picks her up and puts her in another lane. It's not like he hulk tossed her through the wall. He ran into her while swimming laps. The women in the video (and some Chinese guy chimes in) "Look, he never hit her!" But actually, his arm hit her while ... Full Comment>>

Umm... no. Turning off the internet is usually to segregate the people from communication or information. In no way, shape or form should the internet EVER be allowed to be "turned off under special circumstances." Okay, maybe if a SKYNET AI system goes haywire... China does this, there will be a mass ... Full Comment>>

The Kim family has many amazing achievements that nobody has ever heard about, and yet they don't share with the world... Like personally defeating Chuck Norris twice. Hitting a hole-in-one on every course in the world... blindfolded. Dunking on Rodman's (they couldn't afford Jordan, but don't mention that) head... ... Full Comment>>

Well, props for sticking it out and drinking with the alcoholic shu shu's... Trust me, I know that isn't easy task... it is tough on so many levels: 1) Drinking crappy Baijiu (most baijiu is horrible in flavor) 2) Not wanting to be outdone, so you push your limits 3) Chinese constant pressure when you feel like it ...

Would she had preferred that the doctor lie to her? Doctors can't win in China, they tell the truth... they get slapped and beaten. They lie, they get killed... I think the street cleaners in China get more respect. And have safer jobs. Full Comment>>

This is why these "prestigious" universities are full of idiotic professors that are consistently ruining their reputation. Look at this: Meritocracy (merit, from Latin mereō "earn" and -cracy, from Ancient Greek κράτος kratos "strength, power") is a political philosophy which ... Full Comment>>

You would think so... but in China, it is best to assume nothing. More than likely you get a "permanent residency" card but are audited constantly to ensure you keep up with the requirements of contribution to China. Full Comment>>

@Final Say - You know you can get a Q visa, that would allow you to stay for six-months to a year and just renew it. That way you have more control over your visa situation. If you earn quite a bit, they won't kick you out. China is all about sucking up to those who have money... Chinese or foreign. Full Comment>>

@fada - You know as well as we do that this doesn't encompass your average ESL teacher. Maybe an academic subject or a teacher with an actual degree in education... teaching in an international school, sure. But 90-95% of teachers in China don't fall into this category. Full Comment>>

Seems like one of the water delivery boys thought it would be a funny prank. If you are kind and polite to only one person in China, make sure it is the water delivery guy. Full Comment>>

That sounds all fine and dandy. So the guy paid 120k RMB in taxes (what?!) and got a permanent residency card. Now is this dependent on CONTINUING to pay those taxes? If his salary lowers, and his yearly taxes is below the requirement... does he lose it? This STILL seems like ridiculous requirements for very little ... Full Comment>>

I assume you are referring to the video with the girl that is in an Astronaut suit that a Chinese university stole from Japan? I don't know if they admitted to stealing it but they certainly took it down pretty quick. Full Comment>>
