  1. My plumber from Russia told me that it's no secret that Chinese products are inferior. The same sentiment is felt in Russia.

  2. "Just as all creatures wage the battle of life with the best of weapons given to them by nature, the Chinese wage theirs with their foremost weapon - acting. They have no talent for warfare. They are not inventive. They cannot compete in industrial organization. They are at heart seemingly immune to the loyalties by which national unity might be achieved to them greater strength. Thus about all that is left to them protectively is their remarkable ability to detect the emotional susceptibilities of opponents, and to attack these with the display best calculated to achieve the desired results. The display may be designed to induce sympathy, to mollify anger, to inspire generosity, or to flatter conceit. But the Chinese are adept at deciding what method is best, and before this talent many a sturdy diplomat has given way against the accusations of his rational self in the manner that Samson melted in the arms of the cooing Delilah." - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China)

  3. It's always been in their uncooperative nature. Their history has so many examples of this.

  4.  @ozeight4278  No, they do show homeless and protests in the US. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

  5. Lol, "greatest country" as their citizens line up to get out 😂

  6. @LivingInAnInverseReality Umm no

  7. Can't wait to buy my new Samsung Tablet. Been saving for a while now.

  8. "Chinese don't lie to other Chinese" 😂 - I actually heard this first hand once. I had to hold myself from laughing out loud.

  9. Could you show us links or at least dispute some of the things being said here then? It's no different when you call someone a liar, what are the lies?
    18
  10. That's what happens when they open the floodgates of credit without proper regulation.
    18
  11. They obviously are. Nobody in their right mind would believe their claims.
    18
  12. Obviously they aren't as great as they are portraying themselves to be.
    18
  13. This is what greed does. It's all about the promise of making a crap ton of money. No morals, no common sense.
    18
  14. They're both synonymous at this point.
    18
  15. They love to complain about other countries while simultaneously disregarding their own issues in their homeland.
    18
  16. What I don't understand is what is the end goal here? After they've driven Western designers out of business then what's next? Will they now decide to innovate? They only exist because they have someone to constantly copy from.
    18
  17. Don't forget deny. They love to deny, deny, deny and deflect any wrong doing. They've made themselves untrustworthy.
    17
  18.  @ib12541  Oh look, another "also in the US" comment. So unoriginal. Stop bringing the US or any country for that matter to the same lowly level as China.
    17
  19. What is "buy Y D"?
    17
  20. They've always been low class. They weren't that much different under the KMT and even in previous dynasties before that. Lying, cheating, and back stabbing were always the norm.
    17
  21. A lot of morons will, especially those who are bought by flashy looks and superficial features.
    17
  22. Lying and deceit is normal in their culture. It's all about appearances. What is "face" culture at the end of the day? It encourages lying because the truth won't get you anywhere.

  23. 3.5 million to 1.5 million Lol. That property was never worth 3.5 million.
    16
  24. It's basically 0% at this point.
    16
  25. Same here. I told my realtor no Chinese tenants.
    16
  26. You can't unless you work with your spouse in the same job. And sometimes that doesn't work out.
    16
  27. They won't. They don't know any better.
    16
  28. They don't care
    16
  29. Imagine how fragile your ego must be that you take what they say to heart. Sad.
    16
  30. Hybrids are better. Toyota produces the best Hybrids
    16
  31. They won't. It's more important to keep diplomatic relations. Otherwise, these people would have done something already. That's why people like Donald Trump are more popular than ever. Because he's not your typical "sitting pretty" politician. He actually does something.
    16
  32. China - A country that promotes being disingenuous much to the chagrin of the world. "If you can cheat, cheat" as they say.
    16
  33. They have no shame despite being a so called "face" culture.
    16
  34. "Looking advanced" isn't the same as being advanced and China always emphasizes looks.
    15
  35. Lol, so do their phones.

  36. "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)

  37. You have to admit the Chinese take everything to another level...or should I say to a lower level.
    15
  38. America and Europe talk about their issues openly, China doesn't. That's why this channel exists.

  39.  @EXMachina. Ask her to stop over at North Korea while she's at it, also Russia.
    15
  40. Chinese don't aknowledge human limits. That's why they act almost robotic.
    15
  41. ​​ @kamsunleong6648 reliable? Don't make us laugh. It's only "reliable" when it's not spontaneously combusting or randomly falling apart.

  42. "They have steadfastly resisted the introduction of other standards developed elsewhere and which, though far from ideal in practice, are of proven superiority to their own in enabling the average of mankind to derive the most from his environment in competition with his fellows. " - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China) If there is one thing that has remained unchanged with the Chinese, it's the fact that they refuse to change.
    15
  43. ​​ @MasticinaAkicta lol, they don't do much of anything. If you blame them for something, they'll just blame you back.
    14
  44. ​ @FullMetalElric Mao is a sensitive figure. They would probably arrest you for mockery.

  45. Not going to stop them from selling it. They don't care what they get their grubby hands on.

  46. "They are famed for their prudence in money matters, yet their love of gambling amounts to such an insane passion that every year millions are ruined to become beggars or suicides." "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China) "The character of the people has been traditionally such that to thrust money into anybody's hands as an investment was always a gamble. Hence a Chinese with money might as well gamble it over the gaming table as any other way, and have at least the thrill of exciting play instead of the long gnawing anxiety following the equal, if not greater, risk of investing it." "Ways that are dark:The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China)

  47.  @Libra_Strings  Been to Japan - I have yet to encounter impolite behavior from them. Whereas I have encountered numerous impolite behaviors from the Chinese.
    14
  48. This used to be a common way of thinking decades ago in the world. Problem is it's not compatible with Chinese values of showing off and their so called "face culture". They're cutting back because they have no choice, not because they want to.

  49. ...or go be a delivery driver, ride hailing driver or be an online streamer selling crap online.

  50. There is no recovering from it. Who will take the place of new buyers if nobody is having kids?
