Eorthisio nailed it. In china frequently the laws (to protect lives and property) are there. But few respect the law as human life (1.3 billion) is generally viewed as worthless. Being selfish and ruthless is the name of the game. I was in Hong Kong last week when I saw this mainland low life (one look you could ... Full Comment>>

Yup. Seeing is believing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xs2c_TEbIg Full Comment>>

It isn't a surprise considering the quantity of counterfeit VCDs and DVDs mainlanders bought for decades. Even the army was involved because of the huge profit in this sector. Full Comment>>

As with every made in china figure how reliable is this one? Want to guess how many complimentary tickets are given away through the guanxi network? Full Comment>>

Meaning if you buy your iphone in china CCP not only knows which toilet you're using but hears you flushing if you have it with you and it is on. Full Comment>>

They want fast money and that includes the authorities. Why else would corruption and counterfeits be that extensive? Full Comment>>

Even then it is likely they do nothing, perhaps except bribe some officials, pay for a fake passport, spread their legs...etc. and get out of china. Full Comment>>

You have adjusted and yourself are doing this? If not how much more time do you need? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xs2c_TEbIg Full Comment>>

Loads of collective karma awaiting them. Full Comment>>

Such as China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., a goldmine for corruption controlled by CCP's oil cartel group. Not joking here, astronomical figures involved. She touched upon it and interviewed its ex-chairman. She doesn't look stupid, very likely has the backing of a strong party such as Xi who is wiping out ... Full Comment>>

She did an excellent job. A well-known aspect of mainland 'culture' -- those who aren't angels want those who are dead. Full Comment>>

A soul like this wasn't meant to hang around hell. Bon voyage noble soul. Full Comment>>

Sounds like another piece of CCP's propaganda. "Why was our party so powerful in the past?.......the first to bear hardship and the last to enjoy comforts in daily life… " Why? Because those evil western temptations, TVs, cars, refrigerators, tissue paper.....etc. stayed in the evil west. What hardship ... Full Comment>>

@jixiang At large western historians faced far fewer threats as their chinese counterparts, bearing in mind that face wanting was a key chinese attribute. Scientific advancements is a hallmark of the era you mentioned, the era Isaac Newton was born in. Science requires objectivity, this we all know. You see the vast ... Full Comment>>

@ guoxiong Where did you get the idea I said 'laowai' was not derogatory? Your framing doesn't work. You are using the term positive thinking to over up negative social behaviors. This is one of if not the worst deed a human can do. You just proved your integrity is worthless meaning your point about your ethnic ... Full Comment>>

I didn't say building those walls was a mistake. I merely pointed out it was for military purposes to keep savages (i.e. to the chinese) out. It was a product of repeated border conflicts in those times and thus a rational decision. As for those attacks launched by those groups the chinese were justified in calling ... Full Comment>>

A country with high speed trains travelling hundreds of km/hr claiming to be the largest economy in the world, with 'people' shitting on streets but not their living room, taking 5 years to free a known girl living like a rat in captivity because she made her parents lose face. Live demonstration of all that ... Full Comment>>

Ain't nothing, wait till china runs out of water. Full Comment>>

Who wants to dwell in hell indefinitely? Full Comment>>

@jixiang That's what I said in my very first comment on the great wall --- that the wall was built against invasion from savages (from the viewpoint of chinese). It wasn't built to be a money-making tourist attraction for local and foreign tourists 2000+ years AGO (or later for that matter) to enjoy a super ... Full Comment>>

Your 1% example is invalid because anyone with a background of chinese history knows about the wars china had with foreigner powers and that national resentment of foreigner is well known in chinese history. Also the experience of the majority of expats in china goes against yours which means a good chance that you ... Full Comment>>

Yet another mask China puts on to fool those who didn't make the connection between Prince William's visit and chinese ivory trade. The ban's effectiveness is next to zero. 'Beijing’s decision came just before a visit to the country next week by Britain’s Prince William, who has become a leading figure in the ... Full Comment>>

'I just wish people would stop litter...and honking....then China would be on the right path...' Unfortunately these weren't in the 'china dream' they had for the past 30 years. Full Comment>>

When you combine mainlanders' fixation on materialism and absence of moral values you get castles-on-sand marriages. The same two factors kick start and fuel extra-marital affairs producing, divorced or not, a huge number of toxic psychopaths. Full Comment>>
