  1. translation: "We screwed up the economy. And there's nothing we can do because we're proud and stupid" 🤣

  2. Chinese logic knows no bounds 🤣

  3. They know they are.

  4. Just go to Taiwan. People are polite, you can get around speaking English and it's far less polluted than China. You'll probably have a far more pleasant experience there.

  5. And they wonder why their society is the way it is? Ridiculous.

  6. The word "cement" should always be in quotes lol.
    5
  7. Decline? They were "better" before lol?
    5
  8. And their population tolerates this.

  9.  @mattneil1449  Read up on China before the CCP. They have always been like this. 5000 years of culture was from the educated upper classes. 90% of China was never like that.

  10.  @nicholasrockall7308  "Anywhere and at almost any time in China, you can see a cart fallen on a man or a horse, or some similar accident, plentiful in the crowded streets, with curious onlookers not stirring a hand to lift the injured out of his predicament. This indifference to fellow suffering seems by all evidence to be distinctly oriental." - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China) Yes, they've always been like this. They need to stop blaming the CCP when it's just their culture.

  11. It's pretty much their culture in a nutshell.
    5
  12. And they wonder why they're going bankrupt.

  13. I was just thinking the same. Why do this in public. It's so cringe and humiliating. And this is a culture that values face? Yeah, right.

  14. Reverse engineering is one thing. But if Chinese don't understand build quality and why certain materials are used over others you're ultimately left with a sub standard product. Just look at their inferior Jet fighters which they directly copied from the Russians. Yes, they built it but it can't stay in the air for too long and it can't carry missles for extended periods because it consumes more fuel to do so. It would have made more sense for them to just buy the damn thing instead of wasting their time creating it.

  15. Who are you trying to convince?

  16. They don't care about fairness. And saying "they ought to" won't change a damn thing.

  17. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  18.  @curtispaul9717  That stuff is produced under management of people from overseas. Want to know what China produces? Get items made in China by a Chinese company.

  19.  @johntang4108  No they don't. Most people I talk to are reluctant to buy Chinese EV's because of quality issues. Stop lying.

  20. China never built its brand through proper innovation and marketing. For that to happen, they would need a healthy profit margin. That's hard to do when you sell sub par items for cheap. They have brands. But their brands are cheap knockoffs of established brands.

  21. ​​ @nocolo123 where in America do they do this. Where's your proof?

  22. "Buy one get one free" real estate. They're so desperate. That's never ever been offered in any normal country that sells real estate.
    5
  23. Desperation makes people irrational.

  24. ​ @Michael9-23-15 they take everything to a whole level. What else is new?
    5
  25. They want to "lead" the car industry while simultaneously copying others. What a joke!

  26. 1 Billion RMB = 138,064,300.00 USD. Not a billionaire in a dollar sense but it's still a lot of money in China.

  27. They bought it in good faith thinking they were getting a good deal. I'm sure if they could have foreseen these events they wouldn't have bothered because they would have known better.

  28. Why the hell would you ever buy something you would never own? Is your head screwed on right? Why do you think most Chinese are buying property overseas?

  29. When China boomed: Consume gutter oil When China is economically spiralling: Consume gutter oil What's the difference?

  30.  @mcmans.  At least you can pass it on to family members. So in essence you're passing on this wealth. In China you can't do anything of the sort. So what are you paying for when your kids have to always start from ground zero?
    5
  31.  @riverlady982  Those products also last longer. So in essence they pay for themselves. If you have to keep buying products because they're flimsy, you're not actually saving. They make you think you are but when it comes down to it you're spending the same if not more had you just bought the more "expensive" product that is of better quality.

  32. ​​ @jesuspower2390 lol. They've always been like that. The only thing that changes in their country are their leaders.

  33.  @bbb7863  The government IS the reflection of the people. Also, if you visit a country that is notorious for having lots of criminals don't be surprised if you get mugged or scammed then justify it by saying "well not all of them are criminals" - this is the analogy you are using and it's very naive to say that and does not reflect reality. China is notorious for sub par quality. More often than not, they have to be supervised by foreign companies in order to maintain a certain level of quality that can't be produced by their own home grown companies. It could be due to lack of education or they just don't care.

  34. Same as previous years. Still crap as usual.

  35. I never understood why this is a thing in East Asia. You got what you wanted from your employees, why not let them go especially after working hours? That bs would never fly in North America or other countries. Time is costly. If you want to keep employees for 2 extra hours, you better pay them or else.

  36. Exactly. US can't loose from deals they weren't benefitting from in the first place.

  37. Investors won't come to the Philippines until they fix 2 problems: 1. High electricity cost and 2. Infastructure But the Chinese can stay out if they aren't going to hire locals, which they are known to do.
    5
  38. Yes, tell that to society and overbearing parents who only see value in what they want to see and not what their child is good at or passionate about.
    5
  39. It's so insidious. They use Japanese design and writing. I accidentally bought Furikake made in China. I immediately threw that crap away when I found out.

  40. Well Foxconn left didn't they? Also, if you truly hate your job with a burning passion, you can always leave. Rather than making a fuss with management.

  41. "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) Stock market at this point is just akin to gambling in a casino. No logic as usual.

  42. Spoken like a true CCP propagandist.

  43. Yes, it's revolting. It's like watching people slowly emerging from the dark ages.

  44. "Overseas waste" - befitting definition for waste of time and money when it's all about connections and you can literally be trained ON the job.

  45.  @mah7961  I live in Canada. We import quite a bit of produce from the US.

  46. lol "biased glasses" to the Chinese means, stop telling us the truth, lie and make us look good.
    5
  47. No, but they have a centralized planned economy that allocates resources to useless things like these projects. They will never surpass the US in income levels because they are ridiculously inefficient.

  48. I have a friend from Tianjin and he told me that nobody who is in business even expects to make profit anymore. That's why people just choose to lay flat - opening a business is more costly that it's no longer worth it to operate. If you do decide to open a business, you need to price what you are selling so low for people to even look at what you have to offer.

  49. How are they doing that?

  50. Not when they run away with all the money they owe the workers...
