Articles : gouxiong commented on news Keeping the Language Pure: Does Mixing Chinese and English Have a Negative Impact?

Actually characters simplification process started much earlier and came to it's top at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century (also connected with 'dropping' of classical Chinese). The latest reforms (1956 and 1964 - after sorting the mess with 1977 reform in 1986) touche 2,000 characters (educated ... Full Comment>>

Why this site is concerned about foreigners related articles is very obvious - this is the expat site.

Yes. Taxi drivers sometimes do not take people due to: 1) Being on the way to pick up customer using phone app to book them 2) Having a rest 3) They do not want to go to the place you aim to and in case of foreigners: 4) Expecting having a difficulty to deal with the person 5) Not liking foreigners (some of them) ...

The taxi driver may have a lot of reasons not to take a customer (irrespective of nationality). Some of these reasons are right and some are wrong, but there is no reason for argument with taxi driver just because he does not want to take you. It happened to me many times that the taxi driver did not want to take me ... Full Comment>>

But if you have free cash in the amount of about 2,000,000 CNY so you probably do not need that. If you are super rich so more or ... Full Comment>>

The system has nothing to do with any country sovereignty and/or spying on anybody as some people here assume.
