Q: What drives Chinese people crazy (coming from our mouths)?

What's the easiest way to get them riled up in an argument? Say the food is bad? Talk politics?

 

Sometimes they get upset for the most random thing, like all of a sudden I insulted all their countrymen or something. They're a tad sensitive I find.

mArtiAn:

  Most people commit themselves to their own country, making it a part of their own identity, which naturally makes it something to defend. They will generally do this without true consideration of the facts. Only those of their own nation are allowed to point out its faults, and then we are just as quick to laugh at ourselves. But when someone from abroad does it, watch out. So if you want to offend anyone, just point out the failings of their country. Ain't just the Chinese who get riled though, it works on anyone.

found anything to do with the war, politics, HR, sport, relationships, marriage, food, health, driving, pretty much anything will get them riled up in a heated argument.

ask them what she meant when your Chinese girlfriend told you that all Chinese males suffer from 'diminutive penii syndrome'.

You could try waiting until you have just finished 'the act' and then proceed to carefully examine your 'manhood', while doing so in an offhand casual, distracted, manner ask her,

 

"Honey, what do genital herpes sores look like?"

 

That usually gets them angry, and not just the Chinese!

Don't utter any sentence that includes "not," or "islands." You fill in the rest.
