The China Thread

[expectation]

This guy already had a certain amount of celebrity status due to his reactions to the Negegege music video going viral so I'm not sure this is a good example to use if we're talking about the experience of the average person in China. It seemed like to me that the authorities deemed his visit would be a positive for China's image abroad. I'm assuming everything for his crew and himself had to be cleared with the state and that he was able to do things the average person whether Chinese or otherwise wouldn't be able to.

I thought we were talking about VPN crackdowns and not the average experience. If the crackdowns were so harsh in reality they would make an example of a high profile celebrity to not go on vpn.

In any case, I have no interest in showing another example - it should already be obvious.

 

[Wutang]

Not if the celebrity is someone they are specifically letting tour the country for PR purposes. That's exactly someone the CCP wouldn't want to be getting the average experience since the whole point of him being there is to counter the negative stereotypes associated with Chinese society.

 

[Sandalwood Peak]

IShowSpeed had over 36 million viewers live streaming earlier this year when he was in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Changsha, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. Chinese News even covered his visit while he was here.

He obviously wouldn't be able to do that without VPN - not to mention walking around with a whole crew publicly in China without getting arrested for a week.

That VPN Crackdown Agitprop video is an IQ test from our resident moron.

Wouldn't a site survey identify the possibility of land slides as a first priority, and take steps to stabilize the ground or mitigate the risk? The failure to do so successfully is shoddy work.

It does look a bit "ambitious" of a project given the size and steepness of the mountain above the entrance of the bridge. I think their way of mitigating the risk was probably by closely inspecting the mountain for any debris or cracks, that's how they were able to close the bridge to traffic well before the rockslides came crashing down.

My guess is that they will rebuild the bridge after blowing up and grading down half that mountain.

Future China bridge is futuristically fixed! Everything better with LED!

 

[RedLagoon]

The Hongqi bridge was recently completed in China. It's one of the world's highest bridges, and has been touted as an example of China's advancement and superiority.

Hongqi Bridge - HighestBridges.com

www.highestbridges.com

It just collapsed.



Edit: When I searched for the Hongqi Bridge, I got a link for the Huajiang Canyon Bridge which was also recently completed and very high. I think this bridge got a lot of attention, and the Hongqi bridge was not as famous. It's still a cautionary tale of hubris.

That would've never happened in Japan.

They've got a long way to go still.

Here is a lady that shared her Supermarket Experience on youtube after moving to China. No VPN gulag and the pinned comments is amusing.

Here is a lady that shared her Supermarket Experience on youtube after moving to China. No VPN gulag and the pinned comments is amusing.

I know why those women are not being dragged off to the gulag. Let me explain.

The foreigners are smiling and having a good time with their decadent live-streaming, wearing their white devil 鬼佬 hearts on their colonizing sleeves! They're likely planning another century of humiliations 百年国耻 so they can turn Hangzhou into a treaty port where they can force the indigenous population to eat more KFC and high fructose corn syrup. You can't trust them, but you know what they're thinking.

Compare to the inscrutable Oriental mind, hidden behind the Chinese poker face. You can't trust him and you don't know what he's thinking, but just as sure as moon cakes are sweet on the Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋, he's going to invade California and take the West Coast so he can turn Silicon Valley into a Han SOE.

The inconsistent enforcement of the VPN law is like a Chinese water torture for foreigners, who never know when the axe is gonna fall. It will be a sudden surprise when you're invited for tea 喝茶 and seated in your Euro-sized tiger chair for a friendly chat about whether you use wireguard and double hops. Answer wisely.

My guess is that they will rebuild the bridge after blowing up and grading down half that mountain.

The question is whether this was a known type of risk that should have been investigated and mitigated ahead of time, or whether this was unforeseeable.

Obviously unforeseeable problems can't be foreseen so there is no blame when they occur. However, the failure to discover foreseeable problems and develop an effective solution to mitigate them is shoddy work. I don't know the facts, but I can't help believing this was shoddy work, and not an unforeseeable problem.

It's almost like Asians can be hostile and passive aggressive in their own country. This isn't new. Youtube is filled with these "bad experience" travel vloggers. Not sure why you're singling out the Chinese, even white people can be hostile. I agree Asians can be super annoying to deal with in Asia. You mentioned people spitting in your direction, so you do have a point, just not a Chinese one. I think the actual measure of such thing is how much the locals condone this behavior. Did you tell your Chinese acquaintances about this and did they defend it? A lot of countries around the world don't really care what happens to whites.

I would prefer China over Japan as far as dealing with strangers.

I'm niggerish. I really don't like being accosted by strangers. I would chimp out if the videos below happened to me. That's why I always think Asians are playing with fire when it comes to Africans/muzzies. You're not going to accost an African my Asian frens. Don't let them in.

oh man there's just no trust in you with Chinese Authority. They're not out to get you man, they just want to chill on the job and move on.

So, now that I think about it, that video of the staff checking on the phones was likely checking for train tickets or covid tracking - which are in the form of QR codes.

I read somewhere that China has been aggressively building infrastructure in the poorer mountainous places to build up the lower tier places. The problem is, is that they're prone to earthquakes and landslides. Nothing you can do but monitor and close out once an event happens. it seems that they're willing to spend the money to rebuild them too once it crashes out.

I was trying to be funny, but I guess it didn't come across very well. I only watched the first 3 minutes of the Aussie in the grocery store and it looked pretty good.

I always thought it was cute and funny when a Chinese person called me a gweilo or a baak gwei. One of the reasons was Chinese people treated me great and I was only bothered by how they treated each other, and I've never been bothered by explicit insults, no matter from whom.

If I mentioned people spitting in my direction, that would have been two odd experiences with security guards on separate occasions the first month or so I was in Guangzhou. I didn't extrapolate that into something personally offensive, but there were foreigners I knew who were grossed out by old men spitting.

Chinese authorities treated me very well while I was in China, which was true for every foreigner that I knew. My attitude is about how they treat Chinese people and not about something personal with me.

The most frequent problem for foreigners or locals was reporting crimes to the Guangzhou police, who would make you regret interrupting their tea time by keeping you at the station all day and doing nothing themselves or threatening to arrest you if you persisted in your demand for police help.

 

[It_Is_My_Time]

Maybe replacing the men who made this country great, with 85 IQ immigrants, who can't read at a third grade level and Indian scam artists isn't a good idea to keep up with the Chinese.

At least when the Whites are gone, in a generation or two, the Chinese will not pay lazy/low IQ people to breed and destroy the planet as a result of it.

I think that sounds about right when it comes to GZ in general and I still see some elements of pettiness today. When I was doing my corporate job, we managed an out-source operation for a HK bank in Foshan. A couple of days after an off-site workshop, the manager (from FS) realized he forgot a laptop battery and started contacting the facility manager to get it back. He escalated and cc'd me in and I regret reading the email chain as he berated the facility manager over such minor problem - I had to go and personally apologize to the facility manager for dealing with that. Obviously, they're difficult to coach into executive roles.

Even GDP and EV maxing, GZ'ers still live in a chaotic lifestyle much similar to the Vietnamese. Maybe Sandalwood prefers this over the Js .

I was going to tell you you are wrong here, but when you think about what happened to Boeing, it's pretty much this, spot on. Late stage capitalism just loves cheap labor. Boomers just can't help themselves.



To tie this with Foamboy's Rubio's statement above, he is pretty right for once, China is rearming at a fast rate with just a fraction of the US bloated military budget. If they can build a suspension bridge over a deep gorge for $200 million that costs more than 10x as much in the US, and in half the time, they can do the same with their new generation of weapons. They now have 3 different 6th generation fighter jets while the USAF NGAD project is still in its embryonic stage, for a plane that will cost more than $300 million apiece. The MIC is collapsing on its own weight.

Hearing someone speak Canto in a pleasant tone of voice brings back a lot of good memories.

 

[Cooper]

Î really dislike Cantonese, it sounds pretty ghetto, a bit like Vietnamese. And what's up with the 6 tones, as if 4 was not hard enough!...

Literally like clockwork. US-Turkish communist Hassan Piker (hassanabi) was just searched and checked in Beijing, Tiananmen Square. Security guards 'saw' a meme of Piker dressed up as Mao Zedong on his phone, and that didn't go down well. Yet how do you see a meme on someone's phone? Short answer: because he got profiled, picked out and had his devices checked by some low level jackboot who wasn't aware that Piker was there on the CCP's invitation anyway. Nothing will likely happen to Piker because he is 'on their side', yet this could have been a misinformed RW chud instead, no mercy in commie China for those though.

Do not play stupid games in China. The narrative that China is a country like all other East Asian states is a rancid lie, propagated by even more rancid propagandists who make a living out of selling crap to low info and disenfranchised Westoid idiots. China is a heavily authoritian communist dictatorship that after a 20 year or so hike is becoming openly hostile again and which is engaged in a large number of informational, fifth generational and even kinetic warfare operations against the US.



Hasan Piker during Mamdani's victory, lamenting the fall of the USSR. Like said before, domestic and foreign communists will unite in their desire to bring down the USA.

Told y'all. US communist, Mamdani supporter and Antifa sympathizer Hasan Piker just had his interview with CGTN, which is Chinese state media and their main official propaganda channel aimed at foreign audiences. His Chang handler is Li JingJing, one of the top dogs when it comes to mentoring foreign propaganda shills, platinum treatment for big ol' Hasan it seems. Simply put, man's there on a mission. In the interview Piker reads off a set of pre-printed talking points no doubt prepared for him by his handler, not going to bore you with the content yet Piker's glazy eyes are a dead give away.

We have to thank his streaming team for showing us the vile reality of life in China though. Man was literally minding his own business with his crew, and got apprehended by a few zealous Chang jackboots nevertheless. On the basis of looking foreign and speaking English. Kind of a big red flag on international travel to the country, and a massive self-inflicted propaganda L for the Changs to boot. This happened in one of the main tourist attractions in China bytheway, 3 billion tourists trust me on that one.

Piker and his crew had their phones confiscated an searched, the whole nine yards. If it wouldn't have been for Piker's protected status it could very well have ended at the local police station, no memes and VPNs allowed in totally mellow and laidback China. No wonder expectation tried to slide post above so fast, getting pre-emptively searched and your devices broken into for the crime of being a foreigner is not exactly in line with the crap promoted here and elsewhere.
