Haaa, I read yesterday about you'r-in-China prosperous future outlook: 

 

https://www.globalresearch.ca/xi-jinping-the-geo-economic-emperor-with-a-15-year-head-start/5627310

snippet: "....The 2020 – 2050 development plan will have two stages. Its aim “will no longer be to double the GDP” but “to choose to enhance the quality of growth”: to develop China into a great “modern socialist country” which will be “moderately prosperous from 2020”. “Modernization” will not stop with the vulgar economism of GDP growth but will entail “greater attention to social well-being, regional balance, national security (sic) and political cohesion” in the “Chinese way”.

The uncertainty they contemplate, that hovers on the horizon, rests on the degree of openness to global capital, which may denature and destabilize China.

The promises Xi has made and in light of which history will hold him to account, consist in eradicating poverty by 2020 (already achieved), returning to unpolluted blue skies, and to making China a modern country by 2035."

 

Chinese are buying everything and everyone ....

I was watching vid on u-Tube last night about Chinese Moon landing and releasing robot's Moon photos. Very intriguing what they found and they didn't kept it as top-secret. West cannot find out why Chinese release it to the public. Pics from the Moon are about remnants of most likely ancient, very advanced culture ... all explained by the USA scientist.

If anyone can see u-Tube stick 'What China Found on the Moon is the Most Astonishing Space Discovery Ever' in search ...

Maybe another question can be: How many of the following can you buy here?

Stiggs:

Or yet another question could be...

 

Why is XXXX beer called XXXX?  Is it really because they can't spell 'beer' in Queensland?

 

Aside from the amusing name it's not a bad beer.

That amber nectar is the local brew from where Phil and i haunt. Not even hot water or liang cha can stop you getting pissed. And no, we can't spell that's why most of us teach English in China.

The kiwi thing works like this...if they are world beaters then they are aussies. If they do a shocker then they are returned across the ditch in shame. Fun fact: in Cantonese, the verb to have a shit is Ossi. Nothing ironic there.....

A:  "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "S
A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
