Can't say this is too surprising... I wonder if apps like Didi Dache and Uber could force the taxi drivers to stop ripping people off. Full Comment>>

Cause what China really needs is an influx of Zionists.... they deserve each other Full Comment>>

It appears I'm having a conversation with myself because our guest friend deleted his comments directed at me..., hmmm Full Comment>>

And on another note, going online and trying to ridicule, disparage and offend many individuals on this forum does not make you come across as a psychologically healthy person. I mean if I met an aspiring doctor whom I didn't think had the brains to cut it in med school, I'd be encouraging and perhaps gently remind ... Full Comment>>

I actually don't blame you for your prediction. There are lots of young people who come to teach, return to their home countries and later come back to China due to lack of opportunities back home. I can assure you that I am in a different situation from many of these people based on my education background, family ... Full Comment>>

For all the talk about foreigners being criminals this was the best they could come up with... Full Comment>>

You know nothing about me buddy, it's funny because you are just profiling me as the stereotypical naive loser and you have nothing factual to back up any of your points. I'm really tempted to address your points one by one but I don't like to give too many details about myself on an anonymous forum. So just collect ... Full Comment>>

Thanks Sorrel! I didn't realize at first that all of those guest posts were the same person. Full Comment>>

This is a really disappointing thread to read because the article is pretty reasonable and balanced but the comments section is full of personal attacks that come off as bitter and possibly as paid propaganda (wumao). I'm leaving China for a lot of reasons: I originally planned to stay a short time and have stayed ... Full Comment>>

You can insult me in your own language, congrats. You seem to be trying to argue that Chinese are richer than foreigners in China, which simply isn't true. Even first year teachers with no qualifications or experience make at least double the average Chinese worker. You can call them losers for taking the bus but ... Full Comment>>

And Chinese males like you are real winners by and large.... Hokay there Mr. Wang Full Comment>>

Brazil tried this and ended up with massive urban slums. How will these people support themselves and adjust to urban life? Full Comment>>

I guess you're not a teacher if you make ten times as much as the locals Full Comment>>

Still no reason to go to Hainan... You'll get a lot more bang for your buck in Thailand, Vietnam, etc. as well as friendlier services. Only reason to go to Hainan during holiday time is fear of foreignerland or inability to speak the language called foreignlanguage. Full Comment>>

More info is needed on how these surveys are done... Shanghai is certainly less expensive than other places for basic costs like rent, groceries, taxis and public transportation. However, a three story villa and an imported luxury car will cost a pretty penny. How are expats defined exactly? People who only consume ... Full Comment>>

Yea those people with three large apartments and two bmws are just so frugal to make their 8k a month salaries work for them... Lol and people still believe Chinese economic data. Full Comment>>

They're both scum Full Comment>>

Good for her... Nothing wrong with selling snacks and introducing something new to the ny food scene. Full Comment>>

Yea fully agreed, the lack of English proficiency made this painful to read Full Comment>>

It's time to expose the threat of Zionist bankers.... Here here Full Comment>>

And Israel was founded by terrorists: google "The Irgun" or check this out: http://guardian.150m.com/palestine/jewish-terrorism.htm Full Comment>>

Typical Zionist thinking... hide behind anti-defamation accusations without actually addressing my point. It's not "the Jews" fault - it's America's obsession with supporting Israel when Israel is more than capable of taking care of itself. It's likely that big money from Zionist sympathizers, whether Jews ... Full Comment>>

yea my wife's rich uncle drove home shitfaced drunk from a Spring Festival dinner last year and laughed when we told him police were doing random sobriety checks. He said he "knows people" and stumbled to his Range Rover. Typical. Full Comment>>

China shouldn't get involved in the Middle East - the US and its allies only shoot themselves in the foot by meddling in that region in order to prop up the Zionist state of Israel. ISIS wouldn't exist in the first place if the US hadn't launched its ridiculous war in Iraq. The fall of Saddam Hussein created enough ... Full Comment>>

He's been told his whole life that he's a handsome, smart wonderful little prince so why would this change his mind? Full Comment>>
