  1. They've always been like this. Doesn't matter who is ruling them. The KMT were no different.

  2.  @ronnelacido1711  Lol, yes. Work for free - the best kind of work.

  3.  @GamerShowdown-h8j  There's a difference between traffic jams during rush hour trying to get to and from work versus CHOOSING to sit in traffic for half a day when you know that everyone is going to be there during the holiday. It's not the same thing.

  4. Impressive in scale but not quality. This is what happens when you make things fast with little to no regard for building code.

  5. Lol, they're anything but humble. They love to show off for the sake of it.

  6.  @NappyWayz  Nope. They have always been like this.

  7. What about children in other parts of the world?

  8. ​ @nymphetts only good luxury cars: Lexus and Acura. Everything else is just garbage.

  9.  @acheable  They choose not to. People are busy all over the world and still choose to help when needed. Also, the fact that the scammers take advantage of good natured people. It's not a good society to live in.

  10. And people still constantly go there. We will know if these hassles come into effect when foreigners reach close to 0 who want to come to China.

  11. If you absolutely have no choice, just use products made in China but headed by a company from the US, Japan, EU etc. Chinese products made by Chinese brands are a no no.

  12. It's very typical China

  13. Who cares?

  14. Rivalry for what? Who's more disgusting?

  15.  @NTJedi  History does not always repeat itself. Things change and sometimes not for the better especially in China's case.

  16. Everything is all about money, including putting up with abuse

  17. Squatting while eating is kind of uncivilized. Just not worth being fined over.

  18. Hospitable and airport staff not giving a damn are not the same thing.

  19. Meanwhile in China: It's not how much you earn, it's how much you can show off

  20. I'm sticking to my two fold Samsung phone and tablet. This is just pure garbage.

  21. It's not. That's the whole point.

  22. In a country where deception is normal, they've come to expect it.

  23. It's because those houses shouldn't have been price that high to begin with. Everything is based purely on speculation while simultaneously nobody was moving into those houses. Where did they think people moving in was going to come from? The Chinese don't even know where they are in terms of demographics so how can they tell if their property will sky rocket?

  24. Chinese business model in a nutshell: no value added proposition, just rock bottom prices for the heck of it.

  25. China isn't just bankrupting itself, it's enriching the coffers of officials and government connected contractors when they do this.

  26. Why don't you attempt to dissprove these points with facts instead of calling it "US propaganda"? You're only giving yourself away with your comments.

  27. It makes me kind of laugh when some Chinese people respond to what's going on in their country by living within their means almost with a defiant attitude - That's what you're supposed to do instead of being beholden to the banks and real estate companies! Are they seriously only learning this now? No, you don't need to live in a fancy house. You don't need to drive expensive cars. And no, you don't need to eat in fancy restaurants and buy fancy clothes.

  28. Amazon and Rakuten are better.

  29. How is it getting bigger? Production with no buyers is not a good thing.

  30.  @genkibob  people who love to flash their wealth are usually not even that rich.

  31. And to think, they're taking their so called "expertise" overseas to other countries. Scary thought.

  32. Yup

  33.  @zatoichiable  Not everyone who can afford a Mercedes buys one. That's a horrible analogy.

  34.  @johntang4108  Tell your people who keep leaving then. Because they clearly missed your memo.

  35.  @kcw0809  Chinese who have experienced prosperity in modern times is not on the same level as during Ci Xi's time thereby creating a lot of resentment.

  36. But notice they're not bitching about it like they do other countries. These countries are a clown show.

  37.  @Shinobubu  My great grandmother said the same thing and she was in the restaurant business. Reputation is more valuable than money.

  38.  @MWH12085  Lol, whatever they accuse of others of gives insight into what they themselves do.

  39. Typical "also in America" comment. Where is your proof of this?

  40. ​ @MisterHowzat so were other dynasties and regimes...

  41.  @aldopalomino9156  Even the Chinese people in China don't believe it.

  42.  @benito1620  That's a bit of an oversimplification. Then why are so many Chinese trying to go to the US whether legally or illegally if it's so much worst than China?

  43.  @my_pronoun_is_your_excellency  "The fighting in China is Chinese, and that means it is peculiar. Very little of it is fighting to a finish. The numbers slain in actual combat are astonishingly low in relation to the total forces engaged. Between two armies of approximately 50,000 men each, say, one may completely rout the other with no more than two or three hundred killed on both sides. The Chinese soldiers have little courage for determined conflict. They lack the exhilaration in strife, the blood lust of possible victory, that characterized the Japanese and some of the rest of us. And then they have nothing to fight for in a sense of vanquishing somebody else. The soldiers are in the army they happen to be in order to eat. They are there to escape death by starvation. Why would they risk it by bullets?" - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China) - The exact same sentiment in the last part of the video was true back in the 1930's and is still true to this day. People in the Chinese army aren't there to fight. They're there because they want to eat. China does everything for show as usual.

  44.  @midwestmike613  You can still find "normal" unprocessed food in the US. In China, you don't know if what you are getting is normal at all.

  45.  @Tokmurok  Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan to name a few places in Asia that are more developed...

  46. Billionaire don't buy sub par garbage.

  47.  @ronnelacido1711  Yup, bragging for the sake of bragging.

  48. I think he was being sarcastic. Nobody in their right mind would look at what Porsche is doing as a bad thing. And if he truly feels that way then that's just sad.

  49.  @Ukie88  "From personal experience with Chinese officials, observation of the Chinese at large, and drawing upon the experiences of many acquaintances whose service collectively has taken them all over China into areas no one person could know intimately, it is a reasonable conviction that there are not enough straightforward, honest Chinese available to man any kind of government there. This is not a personal cynicism. It merely phrases common and competent foreign judgment on the scene" - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China)

  50. Paraguay was fine before China, they will be fine after China.
