  1.  @playmakersmusic  yet they are quick to lesson you about 4000 years of Chinese culture

  2. The problem is many Chinese live on the edge, from month to month.

  3. When I lived in China, what I was always thinking was: People should not live like this.

  4.  @tarunsakthivel9050  To me, nobody is as bad as they are. It was the reason why I left despite having a well paid job. Not everything is about money. In Singapore where I live now btw. there are no more ducks in parks. Guess where most migrants are from?

  5.  @tarunsakthivel9050  That. But at the same time they also do have campaigns for people to behave better. Unsuccessful. I lived in China.

  6.  @MA-nm2tv  I should explain. Example: I once tried to talk with a mum. Working, she came back home very late every day and also she travelled a lot for business. Her mum took care of her 2 daughters. I expressed, if she is always not there (and of course also daddy), then later the kids will have a disturbed relationship to her. I noticed she became annoyed, agitated. She controlled herself and told me with a kind of pity tone kind of you don't understand anything: I am doing everything for them, I work and provide a better future. There is no sense of anything like what the little girl in the video expressed "I do not want toys or an iPad, I want you!

  7. They are trying to enforce something that Chinese people are not ready for: Rules and common sense.

  8. More like this: You are practically forcing your son not only to support you and your spouse, but also her and her parents. And then you are complaining that he does not give enough money.

  9. ... and is the proof why it was so wrong making many industries dependant on Chinese manufacturing.

  10.  @canto_v12  it's in the masterplan for building the Pearl River Megacity, that HK will be a suburb of Shenzhen with little economic meaning left.

  11.  @MA-nm2tv  most have not the slightest idea about how dysfunctional their families are.

  12.  @geometerfpv2804  The money they earn is a welcome side-effect, just as what the OP stated. The situation there is desparate, they really park anywhere anyhow, even in the middle of pavements.

  13.  @tlsvd5842  Once upon a time, there was a German company which planned to produce batteries in Asia. They chose Malaysia as the location for the factory, and neighboring Singapore as the HQ. They build the factory, they employed people for the factory, trained them on the job, and after the training increased their pay. The factory was closed in a little more than 4 years. It needed 6 people to do the same work as what one person did in their factory in Germany. Not saying it's the same in China. Just telling a story. Keep your factories in your country as much as possible. Factories add real value to products, and these can be sold for higher value. Factories give income to your father, your neighbor. And they are the multipliers of valuable knowledge, and often technology. They give a job to your kids and train teach them. Do not bring them into countries with dictatorial regimes.

  14. Would you marry a man, if you had to live with him in a poor village, please the terrible nagging mother-in-law, produce several children, and on top of that work hard on the farm? Who? It is not only his wealth.

  15. There is a reason why Germany does not step into this speed territory, and France as well does not want to participate in this sort of speed race.

  16.  @Wongwanchungwongjumbo  It is good for Asia if both places are great. It is absolutely not about rivalry. It is sometimes impossible to unterstand Asian mentality. But that is probably only my problem.

  17. China can build a 1500 m bridge in 3 days, including the railway tracks on it!

  18. Regardless what Chinese say, police take these homeless and beggars and bring them far out of the cities into the rural areas. I saw myself some being left with nothing at the fringes of a forest. If they manage to return, first thing to happen: they get a ride back. I saw a family with 3 children none of them went to school, they were illegal children. I saw old ladies like in the above video, selling stuff they grew at the window opening of their apartment that looked like a black hole in the rocks. I saw an underweight girl who should be in school, but the father was not able to pay the school fees and needed her to work with him. One has to travel outside the big led-lid cities to see the truth. Not only about the beggars but also about farmers, children and the elderly.

  19.  @lettuce1305  The US does not look like a 3. world country, it IS a 3. world country.

  20. Mr. Xi just explained to his people that all this is damage done by "the West". He did not do anything wrong, certainly.

  21. When Mr.Xi is not anymore, there will be shocking revelations in China.

  22.  @uuclmusic2711  I agree with. My motto: Buy only if you can pay cash, unless you need the car to earn money, and then the most economical thing you really need. Prefer a young 2. hand car. BTW. I am planning for a 21 day roundtrip in Germany. Not too bad public transport over there, right? Arghhh - It is a nightmare to align the transport for the 4 different destinations. In the end I'd pay for public transport 943 Euro for this trip. A rental car cost 923 Euro incl. comprehensive insurance, plus fuel. Guess what I chose ... ah no need, you know.

  23. I worked for that pastry company. Everything a was asked to do was: How can we make it even cheaper.

  24. The Chinese in Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong are absolutely not like this.

  25.  @jurado445  Kids pants have an opening at the rear to let them defecate anywhere anytime. They even do it on playgrounds with other kids present.

  27.  @chickaboomboom2726  I said Tianhe, near the Olympic Stadium. What makes you say that?

  28.  @Ekam-Sat  My opinion is, most Chinese are not ready for any form of democracy. How great this nation could be with ... we just need to look at Taiwan's development.

  29. I had said that 20 years ago, when China takes fully over they will make it a backyard of Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Dongguan. What you see now is just the beginning of this process.

  30.  @canto_v12  conveniently, that means they can later blame HK it did not leverage it's strength. BS. Nothing in China happens without the will of the CCP. I had an expert explain the plan to me when I lived in that area. HK is done.

  31.  @canto_v12  there will not be a single bowl of rice cooked without permission of the CCP.

  32.  @canto_v12  That was exactly what I read in the planning information from a Chinese source.

  33. They DO believe they are the superior race in the world. But they don't know that "Chinese" is not even a race.

  34.  @just-my9hw  black people are looked down at everywhere in Asia

  35.  @danielponiatowski7368  Mr. Poo is preparing his people already. He benefitted for a decade from the work of his two predecessors. He himself did nothing. After him, when things go down, all Chunese will believe "The West" has put down Chuna.

  36. It will take another 3, 4 years until Chinese finally understand that Xi has brought China down, not up.

  37.  @Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88  that is just cheap propaganda of the West. China is the fastest, the most reliable, and most honest. In China is more freedom than under any democracy. And they own the moon, because that is where they make the mooncakes.

  38. It is not in the interest of the CCP to maintain HK's relevance, neither as financial hup nor for shipping industry. In 2040 Hong Kong will be a suburbia of Shenzhen, Dongguan and Guangzhou. When do you finally unterstand this? What else must happen so you finally see the picture?

  39. I concur. They look to increase their wallet in the few years they are in China, and as a stepping stone in their carrier. They work against the company they receive million-bonuses from.

  40. Mr. Xi His predecessors prepared the field, sew the seeds, and watered the plants for many years. Mr. Xi enjoyed the rich harvest. Mr. Xi cut international ties, re-foccusse the economy, caused conflicts with many neighbours, and lined up with the wrong friends. He did nothing good for the Chinese. Now the consequences can be seen.

  41. I suggest bringing your factory home, at least the main part of it. It is better for your country, it is better for your people, it is better for your customers. Additionally, do not rely on dictatorial regimes for production and supplies, whatever colour they may have.

  42.  @humanbeing888  I don't care how many left and how many join.

  43. 1. If you become big, you will be closely monitored. If you become too big, decisions in your company are not yours anymore. 2. There is almost no manager of a big company who is not member of the CCP. 3. They can and will take everything you have, any time.

  44. Not a few Germans believe these cars are sooooo much better then the traditional Euro and Japanese brands. Woaaaaa touch screen, wooaaaa auto-door. Wealth created a generation of losers.

  45. The market in China is flooded by young cars, sold by people who detect weeks after the purchase they can't afford it.

  46.  @chrischoy9  isn't that human nature? We tend to do just the opposite of that what did not work for us only a moment ago.

  47. The amazing thing is the creativity they can develop fabricating fakes. Stands in stark contrast to the creativity they develop during regular work.
