Q: My new contract LOL
About marketing events: "Party B is expected to join in propaganda activities for Party A" ROFL!
I know that propaganda is a well known practice in China, but seriously?
Party B, this is a normal clause. I have it in my contract as well.
This is a translation error. They translate marketing/promotion/publicise as propaganda.
I had it in my contract when I did a modeling gig, it's an awkward translation for "marketing" I was told, and so far my white mug has not shown up on any propaganda posters.
Did you sign it?
Eorthisio:
Yeah, that's just a funny mistranslating, the job is fairly easy and pays very well.
You need to clarify this... firstly, do you get your 5mao for every... what? (are you supposed to post on forums for the school??)
Secondly, will they fly you to HK and expect you to beat up democracy protestors - wearing the school's shirt??
I'm led to understand that in Chinese there is no difference in connotation between "promotion" and "propaganda".
Don't worry, I'm sure Jiang Qing won't show up and dress you as a red guard and make you do a few pirouets
Yeah, a translation error. Funny though.
I often congratulate colleagues by mistake when they talk about their promotions. They just mean they spent the morning handing out leaflets. I think they got a pay raise. Silly me.
You will be handing out leaflets for sure... !!! Thank god it's winter soon. you will be sitting in the office without doing any "propaganda"
