Typical wumau answer..Too stupid to do research. No concept of what propoganda is. You are a shame to your profession. The chairman of old would have you shot for your ineptitude. Read red star over china by edgar snow. The Chinese constitution is in there.,

At first for the culture, but I didn't find any. Now I stay for the money and also because I am too lazy to go somewhere else and start a real career.

joannaq2727:

HEHEHE

My wife told me to wink.

 

So I did.

 

But deep down, I know it's the MIL's fault. She dictated, I done her bidding, and now we live a harmonious life in a harmonious society.

 

My wife sniggers about it all the time, because my card carrying  MIL was hoping I was a money making capitalist machine. She was not too happy when she found out my card was redder than hers.

 

My mum, RIP mum, was a communist. When I was a young she would tell me about it. 

 

I was in the British army in the 80's.  But all they wanted to do was to teach me to kill communinists. Not for me.

 

Well, here I am mum. I am here. flying your flag. Our flag.

 

For the record, my mum died 5 years ago. 3 weeks after I married my Chinese GF of 5 years.  Now 10 years together. My wife and I had our 5 year anniversary 3 weeks ago.

 

So I spend my spare time promoting the left wing socialist agenda. It's what I believe in.  I just wish I got paid wu mao for every post.

 

Ha. Why am I here?  Because my wife is a fantastic person. I want to be here. I want my wife and daughter to be proud of their country. I actually do believe in the country. The socialist ideal, the aim, the target.  I am proud to pay my tax here.  Especially because they say "thanks"

 

That's why I am are here. I am a communist.

 

So are my family really. They believe in the cause.

 

 

royceH:

So it's been 5 years, Al.  Sorry mate.  

Think I'll send my Mum an email and ask about her day.

Thanks.

If you use the search function for the title of your question you'll find a recent Tooic on exactly this question. Have a read of it & then contribute to that topic. 

 

You'll also find previous topics on what people do for a living here, you could add to that one. 

 

Its late & I'm being a knobhead!

Its a bit sad that the people being paid to defend China have no concept of what China is.

joannaq2727:

I'm not being paid to defend China,that has nothing at all do with my role/job.

Also I am new to China and I am learning..reason why I joined his site.

Never claimed to be an expert like yourself

You will get the same response that I give every other brain-dead moron who has asked me this.

"That is none of your damn business."

Egg-rolls. I came for the egg-rolls. And of course, to practice my Chinese by reading the fortune cookies written in their native language.
