  1. Elderly Chinese people are the worst.... while they aren't disruptive, they are always looking to scam free stuff, be it food, space, or electricity. While they are some of the most judgemental, and first to shame someone.... they are oblivious to their own actions.

  2.  @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.

  3. This must be good news for guys who are looking to get married, as home prices have become more affordable.

  4. 50 to 60 years of Japan providing a little support of China is good... but it's a drop in the ocean based on how badly Japan has treated and exploited China for the past three thousand years.

  5. That firework guy made a good point. If it's due to reducing pollution... why did they burn the fireworks? That just seems suspicious.

  6. Wolfbrother should change his name to Simpbrother. What an arrogant name... he deserves what he got!

  7. Buy Bitcoin is safer?!? This smells like a pump and dump (aka, scam).

  8. 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.

  9. If it's 99.9% pure gold... if it corrodes, then it's still gold, but just less gold, but it's still yellow.

  10.  @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.

  12. It would be interesting to see how many of these women would change their tune once they found out he is a billionaire (I assume USD billionaire).

  13. OK, this person who wants to withdrawal from the state owned bank to a local small bank... umm, this is just asking for problems. Also, if they are just transferring it to another bank... a check is best. Also, with the economy is going down hill... there's more fraud.

  14. It's not that Trump will protect TW... it's that Trump is unstable, and willing to do crazy things, and very unpredictable. If it makes him look good, or puts money in his pocket, he'll very likely do it.

  15. If this was actually on real news... then PRC technology is a bad joke. That's like making a working nuclear reactor in your garage.

  16. OK... the pig not having piglets analogy is just as short sighted as the One-Child policy. If the pig farmer can't make a living... what is the farmer going to do? They are going to slaughter the pigs they have to feed their belly. That's why the pigs need to be concerned.

  17. 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.

  20. @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.

  21. 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.

  22. You deserve exactly what you decided to do. You had your chance, and you gave it up to live single, date many men, and not get a good job. So those were your choices, this is the result of your poor choices.

  24. Men have it much much harder. At least a woman has the option to sell her body for money. Men on the other hand, do not have that option... they cannot sell their body for money.

  26.  @OniLordMiki  And that's why everyone wants to be an online video star, and hawk goods online. Have you not watched any of these videos? Chinese youths have become lazy, and smart... they figured out their parents will always bail them out, and will support them till they die.

  27.  @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.

  28. He should say, I don't hit my wife or kids and take up a hammer... and ask what is your name, and what station do you work at again?

  29. 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).

  30.  @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).

  31. Just like the west... it's typically the poor and stupid that go to such extremes that are brainwashed. The intelligent and rich knows how the play the system for advantages.

  32. That's because the "elderly" person will claim you pushed them down, and sue you for money. Unless you have a camera and two witnesses... you are opening yourself up to risk your life savings.

  33. 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.

  34.  @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.

  36. If she is 33yo and thin... she could easily find a man in the village and live a reasonable life. Instead, she chose to be single living in a city. It was her choice to stay living in the city vs moving to find better opportunities.

  37. 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.

  38. 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.

  39.  @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.

  42. I blame social media... China has watched too many US inner city riots and lootings, and now have taken up the habit.

  43.  @king_taksin  You should stop looking at the mirror and insulting yourself. You might actually get some self esteem. LOL

  44.  @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.

  45. These clowns are funny... so they are going try to put a Chinese owned business out of business so they can layoff more Chinese citizens because the . Great!

  46. General consensus is that BVR (beyond visual range) is what "fighters" need to excel in. It's radar, missile range & targeting, and plane radar cross section that counts. Dogfighting is extremely rare, and is not what any pilot would want to engage in.

  47.  @taylorbug9  So there is 90% unemployment, and everyone is out of a job?

  48.  @BLACKAAROW  Even that is good knowledge and experience to get. If it does happen, now their military an plan to minimize that in the future.

  49.  @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.

  50.  @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.
