  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).

  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.

  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. With the riase of social media, the dream of traditional values is just a dream. It will never come back... the door was opened, and unfortunately cannot be closed. The best is to pair up while still in college, and ignore social media completely. There is little value in spending your time watching fantasy, which creates unrealistic expectations.

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

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

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

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

  18. 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. 99% swapped by the teller.

  20. 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.

  21. 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?

  22. 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.

  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. 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.

  26. 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?!?!

  27. 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
  28. This is what happens when social media rots the brain of the youth.

  29. 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.

  30. 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.

  31. 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.

  32. 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?

  33. 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.

  34. 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?

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

  36. 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).

  37. 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. She should just buy a six pack of cat's and a tub of ice cream.

  39.  @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!

  40.  @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.

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

  42. 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.

  43. 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.

  44. 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.

  45.  @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).

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

  47. If you live in a city that has a public health inspections of restaurants, you'll be shocked how many popular and famous restaurants have cockroaches, mice, rats, bugs, rotting meet, no soap in the bathroom, etc violations.

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

  49. 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)?

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