And this is where CCP ethnic nationalism comes into play, and why it's so important. Hong Kong : "Under British rule, our economy prospered, and we enjoyed far more freedom than Mainlanders. We didn't have worry that we'd be 'reeducated' for saying anything bad about the government, and now, live in a place where ... Full Comment>>

Around China : Mateusz commented on news Woman Sentenced to Six Months for Using Boyfriends Bank Card behind his Back

“We live together! You’re money is my money, right? This is our common property. ” And just how much money was she bringing into the "common property"? If he's bringing a hundred thousand or more, and she's contributing less than a grand, she has more to gain from the "shared arrangement" than he does. "The judge ... Full Comment>>

Articles : Mateusz commented on news 9 Important Differences between Foreigners and Chinese

Yet another idiotic article perpetuating the idea that everything not Chinese is part of a homogenous lump known as "foreign". Adding to that is the lack of awareness of the author about the world outside China. "6) Calling Names When foreigners hear Chinese people call them “laowai,” they often not happy about it....

"this appears to simply be an abusive relationship." Ya think? Also, as it's a common "tradition" (or, financial abuse, if you prefer a more accurate term), I'm certain the UN will address it, like they have with other aspects of gender inequality, and it totally won't be ignored and/or justified, because, you know, ...

Articles : Mateusz commented on news Monster-in-Law? Common Tensions between Foreign Spouses and Chinese Mothers

Even for an article from a Chinese site, this is pretty ethnocentric. "Poor A could not go back to China and had to spend the rest of her life lonely in a foreign country." The guy was also living in a foreign country, but of course, China is the center of the world. "Foreign" can only be applied to countries that ... Full Comment>>

Actually, I kinda believe they won't be a threat. I mean, even if they send a bomber to attack Taiwan (or wherever), it's more than likely to fail the mission after the copilot opens the cockpit canopy to get fresh air. Full Comment>>

So, if a guy is with a girl for ten years, using her for sex, but then dumps her the minute he can find a younger, more attractive girl, then you'd have no issue, right? It's his choice, and not at all shallow or callous? Full Comment>>

I still wait in line, and demand that others do too (I've told Chinese on more than one occasion to get back in line when they tried to push ahead). I do realize that it's just a small drop in the bucket, but still, I'd rather be part of a solution than part of the problem. Full Comment>>
