  1. What the hell.. this will destroy Ralph Lauren.. actually... If I was Ralph. I would exit out of the country, right now. Completely. And then control every single store that they sell. So.... This is so stupid.

  2. Serves them right. Alibaba is now being asked to split. Fancy damaging your own country ??? ....

  3.  @rhuephus  : Start work at 9am. Finishes at 9pm. For 6 days. 996. 12 x 6 = 72 hours a week. This is why they are not having babies, cos they are doing overtime... and burnt out a lot. At this stage, they should have introduced things like better mat leaves or whatever it may be. But they didn't. This explains the gap.

  4. Lol.... "This is my first car. " "This is my second car." lol..... Oh God... after 40 years, I still don't even own a car !!! lol.... "I have two houses...... " What does a man offer you in life though ? So.... I don't get it... She should sell them all.. and move in with her family. And then start looking. :)

  5. I would be SO happy to be earning that 10k in a chinese company. :) A lot of people do not even actually earn that much. So...

  6. No... the weather in China has a lot of typhoons... and you get a lot of rain. This is why you cannot build many very concrete things inside the PRC. Cos concrete uses and absorbs water. Traditionally, the old and traditional houses of China. They were built with porceilain. Just small nation. And then the rest could be built from woods. Wooden structures. So like Japan.. they built wooden structures.. but in later years, they found laquer. Which preserved the woods and that took even longer to degrade etc. Or in Europe.. they use stones. China traditionally just use mud as well. As in... they stomped mud in a dry patch. And built around that. This is why they were kind of like nomads.. keep running round the entire areas. (If you looked at some of the Tibetan structures.. they were nothing but mud huts. But very very high level ones.. and the entire area was sand storms.. but it kept them dry.. and alive.) China was great at building bridges, which avoided the floods and the typhoons. Just that, those old maps and techniques were thrown out and away.. and "modern nations" just disregarded that a lot. And some of the people disregard it.. is because... those were not their ancestors... So.. they refuse to accept history. (Cos their ancestors were probably the enemies.) But at the saying goes..."what is not broken, don't fix it".

  8. So they have known this for a such a long long time, and yet... nobody did anything about it ??? Is this a joke ??? So is this why they the different buildings and flats that were sold away... were actually.... those possibly in flood areas then ? So they didn't fix the drainage system and those specific flats cannot be sold ???

  9. I think it's because, they assume that other countries are similar to internal travel, like a domestic flight. But in reality, each country has their own border control. So... The way they compare is not good. A lot of people don't travel at all. They just go to work or go to school. So.. never even move out of a 30 mile radius...
    10
  10. Yeh. I was going to say. This is a stupid move. And if you think about it.. the past global wars... one, and two... What happened to those soldiers? They became "citizens".... And then, they became "managers" or "CEOs"... In hope to also rebuild society. So during a rebuilding exercise, do you, or do you not... actually try to destroy their efforts? You don't try to do that. So this is a costly mistake for him to do. Really.... Cos he is being seen as the actual..."destroyer" of the country, rather than the "building up" of society...

  13.  @effexon  : It's bad isn't it ? they might have been lured into those urban areas.. and then left alone... and then... well... the rest is history... so this is pretty disgusting to be honest ! And many of these people, are still the same as well ? As in, they run in the same circle !!! Literally !!!! .....

  14. It's becaus these people has never lived abroad at all !! That is why he is so arrogant.. everybody gets on when they are abroad... and you need to learn how people are adapting to one another's lifestyle as well.. so... He is going too far...

  16.  @cashkitty3472  : Cotton is a natural growing product in certain areas of the world only. And because they wanted more... so therefore... where China is concerned, they forced to grow extra, more than it would have grown naturally. Maybe it's time to grow silk again. That should be the way. Anyway, nothing wrong to have hand me downs, or to resell used clothes. Cos that is what most companies do now. They take the old clothes, and reuse them. Shred them, respin it into threads, and remake new clothes.

  17. This is way too fast. No wonder this kind of method, has moved and shifted into the Western markets as well. This is absolutely crazy !!! We used to have a 3 months turnover. And not a change,m every single week. This is absurd..... No wonder, these companies, cannot handle the market. Cos I wouldn't either. If I would do this. I would rather NOT discount... and then I would move the goods from location A, to B. And be done. If somebody has been to the city to see the items, and they did not buy. Then it is too bad. If I was these foreign companies, then I would NOT discount. I would give them a good reasonable level.... and let that be decided by the customer only. Cos you cannot do this and... This is way too wasteful.

  19. This is Chinese media warfare... Lol.... Marketing is the name of the game here. That is why.

  20. Anyway, they are making this video... for the video and media sectors as well. So that is earns somebody some money. It doesn't matter any more ? Cos the UK's working conditions is also trashed as well... And so many of these people, also are ratting at us... despite, it is us... or myself, or my ancestors' hard work that built the current infrastructures as well.. and it gets worst and worst. Why ? Cos every country now could see what each other countries are doing. No thanks to those extra mobiles... Now, every single country is taking advantage of the other countries' citizens as well... I recently came across an article.. about the refugees in the UK.... The UK government has given them.. or advicing them to get around 3000 euro, to move back home. I then did an exchange rates... 1 pound x 3000 (their currency units).. it basically works out around 1 million of their own units... and that is still "not enough"... !!!!! FFS !!!! This is possible.. only because inflation is happening... and that they CAN literally TAKE this oppotunity, asap !!! When the rates come back down, it won't happen a gain !!!!! .... And these people still says "no"... !!!!!! FFS !!!!! ..... Imagine some companies now take those building contracts to help them rebuild their homes... they will and can make money from this. But how many people would do this ??? Absolutely stupid.

  21.  @totzinfo  : Lol... They avoided the chinese tax ? Wow.... lol...

  22.  @morrisonparker3229  : Shanghai had always been a foreigner's trading hub. The issue is that, the chinese government was fighting amongst themselves.. and this led to a situation. Cos.. why would one province fight with anothe province ? Even in Europe, people do not fight. AND they count how many people, and how many houses. And this is why democracy works. Cos the ratio of your salaries.. and the worth of your currency is dependent on how many people, how many items. Suppler and demand. So... what do these individuals think when they are actually running a business? All the care about is actually their own immediate budgets and outgoings. And would grab at anything. I don't think that, they would even know, how many buildings exist in their own city or province ? (And this is also why HK was ruined as well... cos the governing body, literally attacked both the locals... e.g. my family..... and then also attacked the housing as well. i.e. You're NOT supposed to get public housing, if you are NOT living in that city, or is a citizen of that city. And yet, the flood gate was open... and now the very same people who said that, they have a RIGHT to be there.. are enjoying very very low wages. They won't even get the higher wages, cos the area has been depressed. ) ..... Yeh.. my mother's generation of 7 kids.. Managed to produce only 4 adults.. and only 2 adults, have kids. Cos nobody could afford anything any more. And we're mostly around 2 generation living under the same roof. So it means, around 2-3 generation of people, sustaining ONE house !!!!! These individuals, are arrogant.... that is what I think. And we also had to pay inheritance taxes as well.. which the civil servants lied.. and hoovered up. Cos the mainland people didn't have to do that at all !!! Was robbed, left, right and centre !!!! Asswipes. So yeh.. this does NOT surprise me at all. You pay so many taxes.. only to then be wasted away by incompetents.... It is a crying shame... really upsetting. A lot.

  23. From this video. I learnt an awful lot. The chinese market itself, is way way WAY too volatile !... Cos any mere small issues can be blown into a big one. And in truth, by the time that they grew, what that guy should've done is to sell it, into the market.. and let the market take it apart... and then restructures etc etc etc. Cos this lockdown like this.. is affected by the wheat prices outside of the country as well... So even if they sell on now.. they could ? So... just move the people into other companies ! It is that simple. So.... and you still work inside the sectors anyway, right? so... This kind of "competition" is crazy. Just jump ship. It's so telling how employees see themselves.. actually... so... Very very weird. Whereas here in the UK, everybody would just jump ship. Unless they pay a decent wage. Whereas from this, stores would never bat down and would compete til you squeeze the last bit of money instead.. lol... This is so... I dunno what it is doing. lol...

  24. All of those are very small and simple islands. Whereas the PRC and the entire mainland area is so big ? So even if one province is ok.. another is not. It is not that you are "entering the country, and there are national laws that applies all the same"... It is a case of..."once you enter the country, there are provincial laws.. and then city laws... and you need to get every single approval, even before you could do XYZ.... ".... That is why, in another video... in order for the "government to control their economy and pay off the infrastructures which they just built".... The different banks are deliberately closing certain branches in order to make things work. So then the individual has to spend money to travel... so the government gets the spending, the bank gets used or that branch makes money etc etc..... I don't even get it. It's so tough. lol...

  25. Those existing car companies in Brazil need to do a deal..."if you exchange, then you can get a new deal"... and take those cars in and scrap it down to components for their own internal use etc. So....

  26.  @garricksl  : Because the original MTR was developed slowly... and have had a lot of experiences, and also fights as well... Yes, those democracy fights back in those earlier days. People keep saying things like..."but you have no voting rights"... Actually, there were regional committees and functional groups. Always have had regional meetings... And if they object, it does not go ahead. So their inputs, created the blue prints of what ended up in HK. And I guess they copied that as well for Shenzen too. Underground shops. Vending machines. Very convenient stores. Eat before going home. Or shop on the way home. etc etc etc. No wonder China doesn't want "any committees"... cos frankly, all they need is just to copy others' ideas and never ask any questions. That is why they don't care about democracies... cos with tv, media.. and internet... All they need is to copy, monitor... and expect people to go along with it. Any word that sounded negative is an opposing force. It's funny.. until in recent trip to HK... I never used to hear people say those words to me..."opposing force". It is rude. And obtuse. Those basic respects are gone as well...
    4
  27. It's because China spent a lot into those internet things... Which they said that it was "great".... and then, they couldn't find a way to "monetise it".... and hence, it has been like that for a while.. People are too mesmerised by it. And it is from random actions, do they literally get into an actual market, or a job sector.

  28.  @PunditKING  : Noticed that I used the term "dowry"... I did not say "buying the woman". This is not a slave trade !!! This is to show you sincerity ! e.g. Fairness ! Often.. it is the guy who has the actual land as well... and he is supposed to earn from his land. His savings literally is a way to show that he can afford to feed a family. It has always been this way. The same way as a Christian couple marrying.. the ring has significance as well.... and then the white dress.. and the belief of love, loyalty and faith. Chinese culture.. that is the traditional kind. Not the concubine kind. Belief of... to stand by the family, and raise the family... and to give gifts off your own hard work... I don't think you understand it at all. To be fair. The woman shouldn't need to do those things at all.. but because of modernities... they do that, to keep the peace. And to keep the relationships stable and peaceful.. cos it isn't fair for the parents to have done it all. If you split off the work and do some too... and not burden the work onto a single person. This is what being fair is...
    4
  29.  @PunditKING  : I did not say "no dowry", I wrote "use less dowries"... and then let the remaining amount of money, to be put away or to a middle man.. for safe keeping and then repaid as an income. Many people even in the UK or in Europe still follows Christian values as well. Even if they cannot afford a formal wedding. Then they can use a civil service, and then a small party. Rather than a more formal affair. Some people would pay one month's salary. Others would use half a month's salary. And any gifts are based on their needs, or not. As it's the case may be. Whereas... some of my friends that were also chinese, either the woman pays... or worked a few years, they date... and then the woman adds her salary into the dowries as well....(after discussion between themselves, of course).... and then the guy gives it to the inlaws. Or some of my friends, one guy who gave his salary to his parents for years. She saved it up, and used it as a dowry for him when he married. The inlaw gets this, but then they gave this back to their daughter as "baby money"... which.. at least the child for the first few years would not starve. 2-3 years the child would be fine. Both male and females are now more pragmatic? More SOLID. Realistic. Thankful. As weddings are getting more expensive... it is too extravagant in many ways too. You don't have to throw away the concept of your tradition, your identity, but at least be realistic. Pragmatic. Not stupid. But be good. Be real. Decent. Usually, whe the money is put into a fund, this is because it is those people's money. i.e. Those people are often related to one another as well. Even though the next generation won't know this... or at all. So.. what can you do? The elders eat the young, and then the youngsters when in position of powers.. eat the elders... So...

  30.  @PunditKING  : In the situation of the dowry. Why not pay low dowry and then for the remaining amount to be put into a government bond or a village mediating bank or other ? To hold. And slowly give out maintenance amount periodically... So as to support the mother during her maternity years.

  31. It looks like it was a commercial company to begin with. Then with this debts over the property.... they sub let and relet .... so it could be the 3rd party. So therefore when she put up the rent. Maybe the second party took it. And then the first party did not get anything then the court closed it ? So it is like the middle man taken the money.... God....

  32. But The Netherlands took a long time to dredge up the soil and flattened the land, didn't they ? They reclaimed the land, and it took around 20 years, if I recall.... And then this gave it time to settle. But this video said it all..."too much, too fast, too soon".... Many things are done, cos of time... and there is nothing wrong with "if your father built this, then your son will build the next part". Nothing wrong with this at all. (China just have to find a way to feed people, while time goes by. )

  34. It's because these students don't eat... I have seen kids.. even here in the UK. They would order something really nice.. but then they would leave around 80% of their food on the plate? I find that bit shocking for one. And also, I bet they don't even eat 3 meals a day. As in, even if served food in front of them.. they don't eat it ? They often leave the plate with the food. I don't think that they understand what is precious.. as in.. money is not actually like... I don't get it. I have also seen a student also actually bought baby powder to drink, cos it's full of nutrition. It then means that, they don't eat a rounded meal then, of carb + veggies + proteins... every single meal.

  35. It works in the USA and the UK because we have both laws, and inter-connected relationships etc. That would mean that any mistakes of this nature, would affect somebody else? So to stop them from complaining, we often have to be forced to do the right things. So that they work out, we work out.. everybody works out.. it does not work out, when you try to gun for a systemic error issue as well. So.... if they have no gold, then it means the banks would be affected. So... sometimes, a single citizen, could be duplicating actions that actually stops them from making things work out ?.... So... It is weird. Whereas for us in the UK, we don't.... not really.
    4
  36. Because their own internal market crashed.... and that they have some kind of contracts. .. held.. in or at UN level.. so therefore, they are applying a UN level situation into local, or regional level situation... That is why... They are now saying things like..."these are family money"... than it is a case of "this is a company and corporation money"... THAT is what is going on....

  37. I believe that people rioted in HK is because of some of the public money being spent on some random stupid projects.. and some, were also "donated" into the Sichuan region as well... and it was never given back to HK again. That is, public money. THE taxes... I don't even know how this could have happened... It is like, seeing your own wealth.. your own city's wealth fizzled away. This would not have happened in the UK at all. Cos it goes back round, and if somebody does not have a job, as companies boom and bust, then the social layer is to cushion you.... And now, HK doesn't even have that... and so many individuals are saying extremely bad ass things as well.. about the stupid laws surrounding those properties and land etc etc etc.... No wonder so many lawyers exist in HK... cos I bet people have stolen those documents, and properties.. etc etc etc.... No wonder people fight. So many individuals.. also now does not care... cos the city is being robbed blind... Quoting the local slangs.. "you're just a condom for the mainland.. being used, and then discarded... cos they want your money to fill their debts over the borders"...... Well.. yeh.. this is correct.

  40.  @peterseth3296  : Many previous generation of overseas' chinese... that were the... "imperial civil servants"... it is THEY and THEM... that worked, and resent the money back home... and repopulated some of the treasuries and the banks as well. What genuinely happened is that, non-Imperial elites, dominated the country and eroded the structure.. and such-like. The thing is... is this going to carry on or what ???... And why would non-Imperial families, be allowed to have so many children? Just cos the concept exists... and today, China is not even chinese ?.... HK, why HK was important? Cos it still had some of the descendents, or the people that dated far back from the Song dynasty... that is why it was an important city... Despite, so much meddling, and the media touting.. and putting down HK as well..... Not everybody wants to kick up a fuss.... About Qing dynasties.. but... some basic respect would not go amiss.... And yet, some people want the destruction and the extinction of some of these chinese people as well.... and then to embrace and to expand the Dutch Cantonese, or to expand the Indonesian Cantonese... or the Filipinos etc.. or Thai... Well.. Xi Jing Ping now has signed and is supporting these people now. So... those "indigenous" people.. are literally dying out. This is why so many fled into Taiwan. It is such a weird time... This is why it is called PRC, and not China.

  41.  @johndoh5182 : Ask yourself this question, "what happens during midnight?".... Normally, automated plants, and doors, and working industries happens during midnight. So where do you think the water came from ? You don't think that it came from the nearby nuclear plant's actual cooling water quantity ? Is this why Wuhan's region was cleared. And this was for releasing the Three Gorge's Dam for. In case it breaks it. And I didn't understand the need for building these dams when for years the country didn't need it. And yet it went ahead. So what makes use of dams? Hydro electricities of nuclear plant cooling. So which one is this one ???? And Guang Dong already has them.... from days of Thatcher.... and that was why Mao was sent abroad, wasn't he ? Cos he went to France. And what did France have back then ? Nuclear plants ! Which is the main energy resources that France relies on as well..... This is all starting to make sense now. Now I also get why... the entire country wants to build high rises... and why.. in the UK, we have been getting actual individuals like... those areas that might get flooded or evacuated. i.e. Sichuan. Or from Wuhan now... and why the French minister went into China to have a talk with Xi before... and this was captured on all chinese media and TV and broadcasted it globally as well. And that was in Canton. Not in HK. But in Shenzen. So they signed a deal to take on some of the nuclear plant's work ???? The water from the Three Gorge's cannot reach HK or that far. This is not possible.... so it means a local release of water. So where did the water came from ?

  42. Think of the money that they spent on this, they could've actually fed the population... Something also tells me that, the Tibetans.. were possibly.... warriors... and they possibly were there or near there to harness.. or to harvest.. that region, so that people could live comfortably in other areas of the region...I bet this is what it was.... and now, without much people living there any more to harness mother nature... then it has swept way across... to the Eastern side...

  43. These loans should indeed be properly defined for it. They are indeed commercial loans as we call them in the UK. Construction loans is more appropriate. Did you noticed that the fact the content creator isn't even using the formal terminologies as well ? I have also seen app companies, that is Chinese app companies charging a double way deal. I.e. Charging both their customers as well as their suppliers. A lot of random cheats from students now does this in the UK too. This is illegal ?... They are now doing this across the globe as well with weird offices... Everywhere and no actual business units and legal registered sites. Isn't the accounting and finance laws stated that you have to be immaterial ?... Immateriality... I.e. your sales receipt matches your real life transactions.

  44.  @PunditKING  : She is trying to say.. tourists are strictly monitored when they holiday in china. In case you get so sick that you will complain internationally and make. A scenes then those people will be in deep deep trouble. I feel like.... These people must do it on purpose.... Out of anger. Or maybe it might sooth them a bit cos they are angry at what is happening to their country..

  45. It can be risky because I don't think they follow some kind of accounting or marketing for price fluctuations.... within china. They can go under quickly because of the size of the scale.

  47.  @jamesh8862  : You are the motivation on their own soil... They won't buy your goods.. but then they would find another way to buy cheaper on their own.. using their own.... that is how it works. And if you buy their goods. Then it means that, then they use that money to buy YOUR land and YOUR houses... Play games? Then it is time for people to buy Chinese properties.. and then flip it. No.. buy it, and then rent it to other foreigners... and then take the yuans... away from China. That is how it should work out.

  48. It's because these employees doesn't know how to work the chinese market. And this is why their own salaries are also low too. I wouldn't necessarily give an actual discount. I wouldn't do that. Cos if you give one, and then another complains then. Normally, they should join a club, and then decide which one they like the best, and put those design forward, and sell those instead. Be done with. Cos this close time limit on the price difference is going to land them into hot waters. That's why. I would just put smaller selection out, and if they really want it. Then sell it. And not more. I would reduce the sizes, and then let them ask for the right sizes and things like that. And either they really want it, or that there is a small quantity... and then sell it. If it is finished, then let it be finished. This is too wasteful.. to "hope that they will buy"... Sorry... Just. Too spoilt for choice. In other countries, people don't do that, cos their entire customer population could only be around 100-200 people... but everything to China is like... an average 1000 to 2000 PER day !....

  49. They should just move to Shenzen or Canton. And be done with. If people want foreign brands, then travel to this area or this city. If they want and like certain brands, then travel or go to this city. Be done with. And then let the advertisements and things like that, be done, and broadcast it nationally. If people want it, then they need to travel or take time to travel to it. Done. Opening up like this and creating all of these kind of things, and yet, nobody does anything... just... It isn't working, is it ?

  50.  @alexanderchenf1  : I call it an Imperial system, and not a Western system for sure... Cos that it isn't. One thing which PRC should NOT have had.. is the access to the economic models of other countries.. which they pitched against their own ones... Cos they should NOT have had access to that at all. cos if they didn't. Then decisions from their side.. would have been able to "well.. we just have to merge it together"... Because there were so many middlemen consultancies.. to overlook their developments, they did not know what to do.. when those models of other countries, cannot be met any more. And by right, if PRC did not joined WTO. Would that NOT have been a lot better for the globe? Yes, it WOULD have been so !!!! Here we now have PRC neither HERE nor THERE..... 1) The country polluted the most arable rivers, so now the fishes are dead. 2) the food security is now at risk also because of so much house building. And because it is a humid country, it washes those pollution and takes it down every other areas and regions too. 3) Keep growing the population and yet, cannot feed and raise the health standards of the people too. Education isn't even coming together soon enough. Or fast enough. I don't know what else to say....
