  1. Rich women have options, but it's none they like. A rich man has his own money, and doesn't need a woman's... what he wants is a woman in her early 20's.

  2. I can see why young people don't have 500,000Y.... that's $68,751.20 USD, not $6,800. Most American adults don't have $68,000 in savings. I think nearly 40% of American's don't even have $1,000 in savings, or 7,272Y.

  3.  @interestsavvy6813  That is not true. What is your reference?

  4. Yeah, the writing is on the wall that China will likely (eventually) start nationalizing foreign companies (the remaining 49% foreign owned) to gain more control; and also face long term heavy sanctions once they encroach in nearby country (it may not be TW... it could be PH, Laos, Cambodia, etc). So instead of dealing with that in the next five years, they leave now in a planned process. As China becomes more aggressive in the region, fewer companies will want to take on that risk.

  5. Tip... don't buy seafood from back of someone's car on the side of the road.

  6. If someone spends an hour and can't find a job, and just gives up, goes home and takes a nap... no wonder he can't find a job.

  7. The three biggest unknowns of China's military is leadership, combat experience, and equipment reliability & effectiveness. Even Russia, who has been in many conflicts over the past 50 years.... China really hasn't had any major military conflict since the Korean war (over 50 years ago).
    38
  8. Spoiler, it's the same everywhere... having a key relative who is willing to help is always better than not having one. Doesn't matter where you are in the world.

  9. These left over women can have their criteria... but the men has one criteria for them to meet. Are they 21yo? If not, then no sale.
    31
  10. The issue isn't the troops in Ukraine/Russian conflict... it's that North Korea is getting actual military conflict experience. This is prob the biggest hurdle North Korea (and China) has with their military. The last time North Korea seen any real military conflict was back in the 1950/60's. For the Chinese, it's prob in the 1960/70's.

  11. I love the concept of the meat market... you find out your true worth really quickly if no one comes up to you. Those who are in demand have a line... those who don't, just stand there waiting for someone who will never show up.

  12. The guy fixing the circuit board got a bonus of 200 Yuan, and didn't like that so he quit. Umm... didn't they pay him a salary for two weeks while he was doing research on how to fix the board? That is his job to fix the board. So being so smart, he quit his hi-tech job to sell Chinese real estate... I wonder how that turned out for him? (Spoiler, prob not good since Chinese RE is essentially bankrupt)

  13. I thought they had that guy was making 3nm chips by hand in his garage.

  14. Woman born in 2003... her selling point is that she's 21yo, and still young and fresh. No dowry required is just a bonus.

  15. The tattoo on the finger says it all... person who make very bad life decisions.

  16. Wow... that first guy is actually talking at a normal voice, not screaming, or looking angry at the phone. I'm shocked!

  17. Just like in America... a used car salesman is as trustworthy as a politician. The only thing you can count on coming out of their mouth are lies.

  19. The air inspection fee amount depends on how many cops are going to lunch that day, and if they are ordering seafood, beef, or pork.

  20. The best time to look for a new job is when you currently have a job... any job (even if you are working almost for free). When employer's have choices, they think if another company doesn't think you are worth keeping, why would they make a good employee for their company?
    19
  21. Trying to work overseas and lying on your application/resume is not a good idea. Once they catch you in that lie, you are instantly fired, and potentially banned from entering into the country.
    18
  22. When someone cries about having to choose the lowest prices for take out food... I have zero sympathy for them. Seriously, it's prob 66% cheaper if you just make it yourself.
    17
  23. At 38yo... the high quality men are looking at someone 25yo or younger. They have choices. At 34yo, you need to look at a man who is 20 years older, and then you'll be the younger woman. A high quality man doesn't care about a woman's money since they have their own... what they care about is youth, and low body count (few sex partners).
    16
  24. That one guy nailed it... a woman's most valuable asset is their youth. When you are over 30yo, you've wasted it... and you don't have much to offer. As I tell anyone who can't find a date... lower your standards till someone will go out with you.
    16
  25. Arcade in the countryside... yeah, that's a genius idea. NOT! He would've been better to build an internet gaming cafe instead. Who in the countryside would DRIVE to the arcade to play a game to win a tiny junk stuffed animal?!?!

  26. If someone has a child, regardless of age, they should have a will to outline who the parent wants to take care of their child in case of death, regardless of any financial situation. That's just smart.
    13
  27. This is what happens when social media rots the brain of the youth.

  28. Those people making fun of the robot should be aware that a robot has no feelings, no morals, no free will, no sympathy, and likely can crush bones like a soda can.

  29. LOL... the factory has a giant hole in the ceiling billowing white and black smoke. Umm... I'm thinking it's going to take more than a day or two to get battery manufacturing online again.

  30. Given how the conflict of Ukraine is going... I'm not sure if Russian trained military officers are exactly the leadership you want at the tip of your spear.

  31. Well, when a woman spends a week's worth of grocery money on a dress without telling her husband... no wonder a man can't afford a family. Why didn't she buy something more reasonable priced dress... or let him know she's going to buy a dress costing 320 yuan?
    9
  32. She only wants to date or marry someone who is richer than her. The problem is that the rich man most values youth in partner, as they don't need money, educated or smart woman since they have their own. When they are 36yo, their youth is has long past... and their value is minimal. Rich men's criteria is simple... young, pretty, nice. Rich women's standards are high... richer than her, tall, handsome, and 2million dowry.

  33. What is unclear if this "landlord tax" a double taxation... where (1) they pay the local regional landlord tax plus the national income tax... or (2) the landlords were cheating on not paying tax, and now it's being enforced?

  34. Music degree, and stable job? ha ha ha ha...

  35. No one is forcing anyone to use a credit card. It's the user's fault for taking on more debt they can afford to pay back. Responsible use of credit cards is great... high convenience... no need to carry large amounts of cash... getting cashback or points... and also a short term interest free loan (when you pay it back every month).
    7
  36. LOL... they've been saying this about 3 Gorges Dam every rainy season for the last 10 years. It's always going to collapse... every year.

  38.  @Karter_Blackpaw  That conflict lasted for ~27 days, and China withdrew afterwards. I'm not going to count that as a "major" sustained conflict (nor the border skirmishes with India, or the water/axe fights with the Philippines). But with TU you for remembering that!
    7
  39.  @Geneiveve  You are obviously not American. Almost no one in the US carries whole life insurance because it's basically a scam. I would agree home equity is a large one, and stock market via retirement accounts could be decent. But the fact is, most of the wealth is concentrated in older households. The median net worth of those under 35 is <$39K total, while those 55 and older is >$364K. About 40% of all American's don't even have $1,000 in accessible cash for an emergency.

  40.  @TheLeftRbabieskillers  It's not nature, but a skewed sense of worth through mis-information on social media.

  41. Just to follow on, China's long-term plans are NOT to have any foreign corporations in China, unless they able to "borrow" their intellectual property. This has been the playbook for many many decades... open the market, bring in your advanced technology, and Chinese firms "borrow" (without permission) the technology for their products.

  42. That is a stupid statistic... of course it's going to be tiny number of people making 100,000 yuan or $14,000 USD per month doing streaming.

  43. No all degrees, and universities are created equal. If someone has a PhD from a top 5 university in artificial intelligence, electrical engineering, or silicon engineering... I'm sure they can find a job. However, just like in the US, if someone get's a master's or PhD from a 2nd tier, 3rd tier, or unaccredited university in underwater basket weaving, communications, archaeology, art history, or gender studies... finding a job will be hard.
    6
  44.  @AshleySpeaks4U  Most American's (at least 51%) have a positive net worth, so they have some type savings or assets. Unfortunately, I think a good percentage of these people are relying on home equity, so they may be cash poor or even in credit card and student loan debt, but have some home equity which pushes them into the net positive (but prob not by much).

  45. Did you ask to get invited to the party?!?!

  47. Who took advantage of you? It was your own greed that convinced you to buy all those units.

  48. That guy who works at MSFT just won the lottery. Working in the US means he's going to make 4x-5x more money (he's maybe making 500,000 yuan today ($70,000 USD)... that same job is prob $300,000 USD (2,100,000 yuan), get stock grants worth a million yuan a year, and an oppty to get US permanent Visa. What's not to to go the USA (unless PRC government won't allow it)?

  49.  @lawshorizon  Not if you go to Thailand, Philippines, or Disneyland. It'd give it 50/50.

  50. I can say that the delivery people are likely partially at fault because they take too many orders over a short period of time. I know that in cities, they drive fast, crazy, and do not follow traffic laws. In addition, they park illegally and a danger to both other drivers and pedestrians.

  51.  @JohannLudwigEdel  Did you watch the video? He's out in the middle of nowhere... and he said he had to pay to put in a road. His "arcade" was just a old building, dirt floors, mud brick walls, and overgrown plants everywhere. It's an arcade... not a tourist trap. He also stated he needed customers every day to break even. Arcades need a lot of kids with disposable income to make it work... or if it's an "adult" arcade, they need to serve food, have a full bar, and large screen TVs everywhere.

  52. Very senior level managers are only let go for lack of leadership... very bad decision making... or failed projects & poor strategic vision. It is rare that a factory incursion, even the loss of thousands of wafers could be blamed on senior managers, as they do not actually operate the equipment. However, if they tried to hide the losses, or did not give it enough proper urgency to fix, or they put in lax standards which created an environment which created such losses, those could be reasons as fireable offense(s).

  53.  @kojinmaster  She's still old, broke, and crying. If someone is broke, they make your own food to save money... or if they have to, they can go to the store and buy cooked food, vs having it delivered (which costs more/waste of money).

  54. Here is a little discussed secret.... you don't get, or stay, rich by giving your money away.

  55. No, if you can't find a job... it is ABSOULTELY your fault. It's either lack of skills, experience, or ability to contribute. If someone is working, that means they have more value to the company than you. Don't blame the economy... take responsibility. I can say whoever quit their job is beyond stupid, and most likely an idiot, and shouldn't get hired again. If they hate their job (which I have at some point in my life also)... they should be looking for a new job while working, vs being unemployed. Being unemployed has a stink of being worthless, since no one is willing to hire you (or they fired you because you don't provide value or a problem employee)... if you are employed, and looking for a job, another company can say... well, if some other company finds value in them, maybe they can be of value here.

  56. I posit that poor mental health is directly related to how much social media and phone time a child or adult uses. The more social media time... the worse off their mental health. Why? Because in the old days, there were cartoons that set unrealistic expectations... however, now, it's social media that is setting those unrealistic expectations. Therefore, it's no longer obvious to a person what's fake, and what real... but the reality, it's almost all fake on social media.

  57. The problem is that "high quality" men choose young women who are nice. These are not qualities an older woman can never offer (once you get old, you are old). A successful man does not need (or even want) a successful woman. So therefore, a successful older woman is not what a successful man is looking for, or even wants. So these women are trying to look for someone who does not exist.

  58. Bottom line, it's a demand problem. Capacity was overbuilt, and when demand softened... they had to lower prices to just above cash costs to move product. Until demand picks up, they are screwed... since the battery factories are already built.

  59. I don't see a car having 5,000 pieces of silicon... ever.

  60. For the crying college postgraduate girl... you would get a bit more sympathy if you were just crying... but you lose most of it because you are eating a block of cheese bigger than your head. I'm pretty sure that's one of the big reasons why you are unemployed... you have clueless about optics, and positioning. Did you bring that giant block of cheese and eating it while answering interview questions also?
    3
  61.  @sbalogh53  You can give her double sympathy, so I don't have to give mine. Crying about spilled milk isn't going to fix the future... and complaining about ordering delivery (not even take out/take away... where you can save on the delivery fee), and then complaining about having to order the cheaper items on the menu is beyond out of touch with reality. There are literally tens of thousands of homeless and elderly laborers who don't complain... who are barely surviving, and she complains about the high cost of having food delivered to her home.
    3
  62.  @diedampfbrasse98  Really? In a city of millions, there are zero jobs available? Also, even if unemployment is 30%... that still means 70% of the people are employed. There's always people moving, quitting for whatever reason, dying, retiring, etc. It doesn't take a genius to tell if someone is lazy or trying hard. Not saying it's easy... but not looking for a job will guarantee you'll never find one.

  63.  @Toactwithoutthinking  Conflicts with AKs is much different with armor, jets, and drones. That's also more providing "protection" for their workers, not a national conflict. There is a reason why the movie Wolf Warrior is popular in China.

  64. Degree in film... quit their job and now unemployed. Based on your comments, you are lazy. Best to hurry up and go back to the village, and find a husband to take care of you before you get too old, and then things will really be bad for you (where you have to get a husband 20 years older than you, since young men who can support a woman will be looking for someone much younger, in their early 20's).

  65. I think it depends seating of the table. If the restaurant is empty, then why not let two people sit at a four seat table? Also, how much are they buying? I often go with my brother, and we order enough food for three or four or more people. A two chair table will not have enough room for all the food.

  68. LOL... there are no ugly women. ROTFL.... there are a lot of ugly women... some are ugly on the outside, but most of them are ugly in the inside..

  69. It's always going to be hard for people who are lazy, uneducated, and vocal to find a job. That said, those who are smart, hard working, and create value can always find a job. Just being alive is not creating value... no matter what social media tells you. The reality is that your pay is what other's value your contributions... so if you can't find a job, or only get a job with low pay, then they need to dig down and understand why someone is willing to pay you so little, or none at all.

  74. Rich men wan young, pretty, and nice. Rich women want richer men, taller, huge dowry, and likely very very demanding. Someone who is so "smart" and doesn't realize the market value as single person and looking for many many years... they are clearly not on the same level. A rich man wants a younger woman, and who is nice. Rich educated women are demanding... they are already demanding such high criteria, and it will only become more demanding in a relationship,.

  75. Living alone with 10 cats is the dream these feminists want? Feminists only trick the younger generation into the misery they are in today.

  76. Studying fashion... but doesn't support poor people having kids. Umm.... she must be a dyed blonde... if there are no kids, who's going to buy her lame fashions? She may think she'll have a good 50 years... but in reality, it's prob only 10 years of happy, and 60 years of misery.

  77. I thought all those low cost food stalls used gutter oil, plastic/fake foods (plastic, rat meat), and full of chemicals (to cover up spoiled rotting meats). Buying 1 Yuan food sticks essentially gambling with your health.

  78. That reporter is either brave, crazy, or stupid... maybe all three. I would never stand on a damn with such a huge crack on it... if there was an aftershock and the dam collapses, you'll be dead. There is zero chance anyone could outrun or survive a dam collapse.

  79.  @alisonzunguze8183  First and foremost, it's youth as in young age. It's not something you can buy, hide, or stop. The other areas you mention are just byproducts of aging... loss of looks and fertility. No matter what... there's is no replacement for a woman who is in their early 20's.
    2
  80.  @alisonzunguze8183  They have value as a person.... but very low, value to a high value man as a wife material. A high value man will have money, looks, and intelligence... they don't need someone with money, career, or too old to have children. They want someone who is nice, pretty, and young enough to have children, and willing to take care of their children vs wanting going to work.

  81. You can ask for that... but with a face like a horse, and a personality as appealing like two week old fish, it's very unlikely you'll find a simp that meets that requirements, thank goodness.

  82. If someone looks for white swan events (extremely rare positive events), a fair lottery can provide such an event. While low income people tend to play lotteries most often... but the alternative is where else can someone spend $1 or $2 and win $100,000,000 USD? While the odds are against someone from winning.... but someone does win with a massive upside result. Is it worth playing a ticket or two... yes. Is it worth spending $100 or more a week... no. In addition, I would say, only play the lottery (legal, fair) when it's a life changing result. Playing a $2 lottery for $1,000 is stupid... however, playing for $100,000,000+ opportunity, IMO could be worth it if someone has $2 to spare (lose).

  86. The fact is, the more educated the child or teen, the better off they'll be in life. Feelings will not fill your tummy, put a roof over your head, or keep you warm in winter. And yes, in real life, it's mostly winner takes all... there will be some winners... and a lot of losers. And once you are a loser, it's very very very hard to get out of that... because there is someone always smarter, younger, and more talented. So the choice is to start with feelings, or start with getting the best education?

  87. Many many years ago, i watched how a lottery worked in a state in the US. There would be lottery employees who did the work, but there were two auditor who watched them perform the work. It appeared to be a secure process. I think there were six cases of ping pong balls... and someone who was auditing would randomly pick case to use that night. All sets of the ping pong balls were weighed in the morning,in each case. These were all different companies and people. Also, if a set of balls would draw a same number three times in a row (three draws), that set would get a deeper inspection.

  88. People may blame the government all they want... but the final reason the situation they are in is due to their own decisions. It's not like there is 90% unemployment... most people are still working, and living. For students, the two years before graduating... did they do internships to get work experience and connections... or did they go on vacations and spend endless hours on their smartphone? For someone older who is 35yo+... how much savings do they have? Outside of a mortgage, how much debt did they incur for a car, dining out/take-away, vacations, and needless products? Also, for both, did you get an education that is in demand like engineering, bio science? For the adult man, why didn't you do research on the company you are joining... if they are about to fail within three months, the warning signs must be obvious.

  89. If the matchmaker wants more men... screen the women for the following... 1) no bride price; 2) they have to work and make at least 10,000 yuan a month; 3) they are willing to take a GPA, 4) first date cannot cost more than 1,000 in total (for both people), and 5) they are not on social media. If they have women that meets these criteria... I'm sure there are many many men who will sign up with you.

  90.  @tukahimata1416  This was a young guy, so prob not a roadside job, but looking for an office job. That said, even if it's a roadside job, then he could prob check if restaurants need a dishwasher, busser, or convenience store clerk. From what I can tell, a lot of these young people don't want to take jobs that they don't like or is hard work (manual labor). Even in America, the best time to look for a job is when you have a job... any job. Employers will look at you differently if you are employed and looking to do better... vs unemployed, and handing out 1,000 generic carbon copy resumes.

  91. I don't know how car sales are done in PRC... but in the USA, no one pays sticker (list) price for any car today. Often, the sticker price is inflated quite a bit, and the actual sales price could be -10% or more than sticker price, and then there could be manufacturer discounts or rebates. It's not uncommon to find new Stellantis trucks sell for -20% or more from sticker price. In addition, auto companies do not lower new model year pricing, but what they do is introduce a lower end model or trim that is cheaper (less features, smaller, etc). Can someone with direct knowledge comment did BYD actually reduce the price of the exact same model/trim/features for the next model year?

  99. There are zero secrets if there is a major attack or invasasion. Why? It's the logistics needed to supply tens of thousands of troops, along with stockpiling of medical supplies, and doctors. That's why Russia's invasion of Ukraine was well known, because they had to amass huge number of troop, arms, and supplies. For any invasion of TW, it would require a high concentration of both planes, rockets, pilots, and above all else, fuel and spare parts. Given these things are easily tracked, any invasion should not be a surprise.

  102.  @Alice-si8uz  I think the dowry is not an 'expectation', but rather a requirement. And this is one of many problems with older women... they become less flexible, or able to compromise. Someone with many many requirements, high expectations, and inflexible will only lead to unhappiness for both parties. She will never feel satisfied or happy, as she'll want more and more... and he won't be happy because she'll be demanding more and more.

  108. That first woman lowered her standards, but the problem is that she looks like a man. When she was 21-26, she maybe have gotten a man just because she's young, and thin... but when you look like a man, it's best to just find someone who's nice to you, and don't have bad habits.

  110.  @SlavTiger  No one is working 17hrs a day for six days straight. These numbers are all made up. Even in Japan back in the days where the suit workers had to work 17 hr days... but they didn't tell people that 10 of those hours were at the bar. Plus, productivity was very low. Most of these videos are clickbait for the stupid (of which, I fell for it). If you believe these edited videos, then you prob believe the world is ruled by some reptile race that's fighting Sasquatch for control of weather making radars.

  117. If one does not have any "connections"... then would it not be wise to go out and make some "connections"? There are many trade associations, clubs, charity organizations, and political events which someone can attend for free or volunteer, and meet many influential people who can help them. However, they must not be lazy, an idiot (both intelligence and social interactions), or have a bad attitude... since those people are unhireable.

  120. @cerberus2881 Who knows how old those pics are on YT. Downstream has been flooded often... and I would expect people who have been flooded many many times since 2003 would've planned that it floods each year. From what I can tell is the opening of floodgates up stream without notification to people downstream... which is bad, because it's a controlled flash food which resulted i people being away, and residents not able to evacuate.

  121. Going to a restaurant where they serve pre-made frozen foods is perfectly fine, as long as the food is "real" (real scallops, real roe, etc). Most food in restaurants are pre-made at some level... most noodles are frozen to noodle shops... similar in America, hamburger patties are often frozen to mid-level restaurants, pre-made cheese, and pre-made bread. However, if it's a true fake food, then that's bad.

  127.  @stripedrajang3571  The one child policy has created a generation of lille princes and princesses which can do no wrong. In addition, the smartphone, Chinese (and most other) kids and young adults are addicted to the screen. These young people are happy letting their parents work themselves to death to support their lie down and 10 no's philosophy. Unfortunately, when they wake up (when their parents are dead, and can't support them anymore), they'll be in their mid-40's or early-50's, and that's when it'll get really tough for them.

  129. For the girl moving back to the rural area and at 26... she better prioritize finding a successful man who is nice ASAP. She is only a few years from 30yo, and she's not going to get a good husband, since just like jobs, they'll all the good ones will be taken the longer you wait. Hopefully, she learns from her mistake... find a partner NOW, because as you get older, the ones are left prob aren't as good (plus, maybe a wedding dowry, maybe your parents can recover some of their spending for your college degree).

  130.  @xiexe499  You are delusional. If you think waiting longer to start looking for a partner is a good idea. All it means is that she's older, less attractive, and there are fewer good men available (and of those good men, many will be looking for someone younger in their early 20's vs 30's).

  133. 1,000% disagree that people are driven to crime to survive. There are millions of people who take jobs for food delivery, construction, or other manual labor to get by. They survive, and do not commit crimes. It's only the those too lazy to work, want shortcuts, and criminals who turn to crime. Do not promote that those in poor situations that crime is a good option.

  134.  @Ianna-i2k  Any investment carries risk. There is nothing wrong with making an investment... but what's wrong is blaming others for their poor investment choices (losing money), and crying about it. There is only one person to blame, and that's the person in the mirror.

  137. The numbers are all skewed because the the "fake" registrations each city created to meet arbitrary growth goals from the central government. Previous videos indicated mass fabrication of new business openings to show growth... but in reality, they were just opened by friends, family, and even the politicians themselves.

  138. If you are living in China, if it's a CCP government bank (not a local or regional bank), it is safe. If the bank fails, that means the CCP fails, which means no money, business, or property is worth anything. This is just fear mongering.

  139.  @sbalogh53  I can see making a complex dish at home could cost more than ordering a single dish... as some recipes require certain items, and they are only sold in much more quantities than it takes to make one dish, so the extra may go to waste. However, most basic dishes are simple, use few ingredients, and much cheaper to make at home. For example, a huge pot of rice can prob be made for less than $1 (all one needs is rice, water, pot, and stove). The extra rice can easily be made into fried rice the next day for maybe $1 more (egg, onion, carrot, peas, soy sauce, pan, stove). Other easy, and delicious dishes can be roast chicken (salt, pepper, oven), and the bones can make a broth or soup. A bag of rice or potatoes don't cost much, but can easily feed a family with many tasty dishes cheaply. If one is low on, or does not have money, they should stretch out their funds as much as possible, since they don't know where their next check/cash will come. Having tasty food doesn't have to be expensive, but it does take a little bit of work in the kitchen.

  144.  @SlavTiger  You do know these clips are all framed and edited to look bad right for views... to make a buck? This isn't real news, it's basically entertainment and propaganda wrapped together. And if it didn't draw clicks and views, they won't get paid... so of course they are going to publish sensationalized, and extreme videos. In the early clips, they complain about having weekend sports games (which they do in the US also), but later, another school complain they can't play sports on the weekend. These videos are mostly edited clips, and unless you understand Chinese, the narrator can say anything they want, and we wouldn't know. I recommend you start thinking for yourself, vs just believing everything you hear on YT.

  149.  @mirceazaharia2094  That is what I said, their military (and also government & public) will gain actual conflict experience. This is from the very top all the way down to grunts. The entire nation will get actual military conflict experience, which also includes how the public will react to deaths of their sons.

  150.  @Catherine.Dorian.  Even that is invaluable experience, including how the public will react to deaths of their sons. However, as others pointed out, gaining first hand experience in modern warfare is what they want/need since it's been 60+ years they've been in a hot conflict.

  151. Can someone tell me how the standard college graduate hiring is in China? In the USA, college seniors start applying for full-time permanent jobs as soon as they start the school year in the fall; their last year of school. As the go through the fall school year, they interview with employers many get job offers by November/December before they graduate. So when they graduate in the spring (May/June), they have a job set up. There are those who may be late, and try the spring interview (Mar/Apr) and hiring process, but the best jobs are available during the fall process. So, in the US, smart college students don't look for jobs after they graduate, but before they graduate. How does the process work in China?

  154. Unless the home has been built, and standing for at least five years... i would not buy a "discount" house. These developers are cash-strapped, and likely cutting corners on both construction quality and workmanship. Those would be the lucky ones... the unlucky ones would put down a deposit, and the developer never actually builds out the unit(s) or defaults on their own loan and the buyer ends up with nothing (or worse, a loan debt without a unit or equity).

  155. I would say that paper scratch off tickets are easier to scam and cheat. If someone has connections at the printing factory, or an IT person having access to the winning serials numbers for verification, they know exactly which tickets are winners, and where they were shipped. They could easily just tell a friend or family member to go buy out the books of those tickets. Rigging a ping-pong ball lottery draw may have bigger winning amounts... but the number of people who would have to keep their mouth shut are too many. You got camera people, announcers, janitors, and everyone else in the studio. That's too many people to keep their mouth shut, even if you paid them a lot of money... people will eventually tell someone at somepoint.
