Q: What do you like most about China or Chinese people?
Pet peeves, pet schmeeves. There's a million of them. Let's flip this around.
What do you like the most about China or Chinese people?*
First, there's the . . . ah . . . ah . . . ah . . . .
Okay, your turn.
* Let's overlook any racist undertones, and that this question has been asked before in one form or another. Different time. Different members. Different experiences. Different perspectives.
Chinese are very hospitable... at least to me they are.
The train system is very good.
the woman pretty much throw themselves at you.
Very little political correctness....that is great.
Delivery service is cheap and fast
Smoke anywhere you want .
id rather have little enforcement the of the rules then over enforce the like in the west.
KTV is always a good time
foot massage is cheap and fun
Very easy to make money here if you know what your doing
services like maids and cleaners and repairmen ext are very cheap.
very little violent crime compared to where I’m from.
taobao
didi
ect ect ect...
The freedom.
You know what I mean. Riding your bike on the pavement, ignoring traffic lights and using your horn as a solve all magical tool. That’s great fun.
Next is not waiting in line. No matter how busy the shop is, I can walk in, point to the pack of smokes I want, and nobody complains.
The contact sport of getting on busses and metros. If I am in the mood, I enjoy it. Elbows out, plan the path of least reistance as the bus arrives. Bonus points for blocking people from pushing pregnant woman out of the way. Oh yes. That can be fun. Toppling grannies to get to the door first to be a gentleman to a pregnant woman.
I also like the freedom to be able to drink a beer outside a shop without a jobsworth telling me it’s illegal.
I like the dancing aunties. And the men sitting playing cards around tables.
And I like the kid orientated culture. The whole family thing with kids at the center.
I like being able to ride a woman’s bike or use a pink umbrella without being laughed at.
They actually believe their own bullshit with out questioning anything. Let's copy the propaganda "voice of america" and we can do it better because we are better people.
Its New Coronavirus and its now new yet old swine flu virus.
For me it was culture shock and I was always so happy in China , that and the fact that I could never count the number of nice looking women I was seeing.
My NOT 'pet-pevee'!

Prominent Hong Kong Activist Joshua Wong Arrested For Breaking 'National Security' Law
Thu, 09/24/2020 - 12:15
In the latest Hong Kong crackdown on a major dissident figure over actions dating back to the 2019 pro-democracy protests, Hong Kong student-protest leader Joshua Wong has been arrested again on Thursday in what he says is the third case against him related to his activism.
The Associated Press reports that Wong was arrested when he went to check in at Hong Kong's Central Police Station in keeping with his bail requirements.
Wong and his team broke the news in a tweet sent after he left the police station on bail once again. As the tweet states, the charges under the new national security law pertain to an Oct. 5 "unauthorized assembly." Wong is also accused of violating HK Chief Executive Carrie Lam's anti-mask order.
Wong gained international notoriety for his work as a leader of the 2014 Umbrella Movement. However, he took a mostly low-key role in the leaderless pro-democracy demonstrations that carried on for the latter half of last year.
Wong rose to prominence as a student leader during the 2014 Umbrella Movement protests for universal suffrage, and is among a growing number of activists being charged for various relatively minor offenses since Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law on the territory that has severely restricted political speech.
He played a low-key role in mostly leaderless and sometimes violent anti-government protests last year that led to Beijing imposing the security law. However, with Beijing's encouragement, Hong Kong authorities have been pursuing charges against major opposition figures for illegal assembly and other minor infractions in what some call a campaign to harass and intimidate.
Wong's arrest follows the latest arrest of Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai, whose company, Next Digital, runs one of HK's largest newspapers, which has taken a firmly independent, pro-democracy line.
Both Wong and Lai have vowed to resist the measures taken under the new national security law, which gives authorities broad latitude to punish anyone for pro-democracy speech, which Beijing views as "terroristic" and "seccessionist" rhetoric, encouraged by foreign agitators.

Around 16,000 mosques in Xinjiang had been destroyed or damaged, according to a Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), with most of the destruction taking place in the last three years

Chinese authorities have demolished thousands of mosques in Xinjiang, an Australian think tank said Friday, in the latest report of widespread human rights abuses in the restive region.
Rights groups say more than one million Uighurs and other mostly Muslim Turkic-speaking people have been incarcerated in camps across the northwestern territory, with residents pressured to give up traditional and religious activities.
Around 16,000 mosques had been destroyed or damaged, according to an Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) report based on satellite imagery documenting hundreds of sacred sites and statistical modelling.
Most of the destruction had taken place in the last three years and an estimated 8,500 mosques had been completely destroyed, the report said, with more damage outside the urban centres of Urumqi and Kashgar.
Many mosques that escaped demolition had their domes and minarets removed, according to the research, which estimated fewer than 15,500 intact and damaged mosques were left standing around Xinjiang.
If correct, it would be the lowest number of Muslim houses of worship in the region since the decade of national upheaval sparked by the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s.
By contrast, none of the Christian churches and Buddhist temples in Xinjiang that were studied by the think tank had been damaged or destroyed.
ASPI also said nearly a third of major Islamic sacred sites in Xinjiang -- including shrines, cemeteries and pilgrimage routes -- had been razed.
An AFP investigation last year found dozens of cemeteries had been destroyed in the region, leaving human remains and bricks from broken tombs scattered across the land.
China has insisted that residents of Xinjiang enjoy full religious freedom.
Asked about the research on Friday, China's foreign ministry said the research institute had "no academic credibility" and was producing "anti-China reports and anti-China lies".
Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said there were about 24,000 mosques in the region.
"Xinjiang's total number of mosques is more than ten times the number in the US, and the average number of mosques per Muslim person is higher than in some Muslim countries," Wang told a regular press briefing.
Friday's report comes a day after ASPI said it had identified a network of detention centres in the region much larger than previous estimates.
Beijing has said its network of camps are vocational training centres, which are necessary for countering poverty and anti-extremism.

COVID Whistleblower's Mother Reportedly Arrested In China
"Retribution..."
The mother of Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese MD/PhD virologist who fled China and published evidence that COVID-19 was created in a lab, says that the Chinese Communist Party has arrested her mother.
"According to Mr. Miles Guo, the CCP arrested Dr. Limeng Yan’s mother in mainland China, allegedly as a retribution on Dr. Yan, the Hong Kong virologist, Chinese Whistleblower and CCP COVID-cover-up debunker," reports gnews.org - which has been described as "Guo's media outlet."
Guo made the comments during an appearance alongside former Trump strategist Steve Bannon on an episode of "War Room Pandemic."
Last month, Yan appeared on Fox News, where she told host Tucker Carlson that COVID-19 is a "Frankenstein" virus designed to target humans, and that it was intentionally released.
"It could never come from nature," she Yan - who worked with coronavirus at the University of Hong Kong
"There is evidence left in the genome" - which Yan detailed in a 26-page scientific paper co-written with three other Chinese scientists. "They don't want people to know this truth. Also, that's why I get suspended [from Twitter], I get suppression. I am the target that the Chinese Communist Party wants disappeared."
When Carlson asked her why she believes the virus made it's way out of the Wuhan lab, Dr. Yan said "I worked in the WHO reference lab, which is the top coronavirus lab in the world at the university of Hong Kong. And the things I got deeply into such investigation in secret from the early beginning of this outbreak - I had my intelligence through my network in China, involved in the hospitals, institutes and also government."
"Together with my experience, I can tell you - this is created in a lab."
Dr. Yan fled Hong Kong on April 28 on a Cathay Pacific flight to the United States. She believes her life is in danger, and that she can never go back home.
what i USED to like is pretty much what someone wrote earlier, but now there isn't much left of it. China's golden period has long gone
