  1. If the national Chinese credo is: 'If you can cheat, then cheat', why are Chinese so outraged when they are cheated? They should admit the genius of the cheater and laugh it off.

  2. Re honey. In China, even if you had a genuine beehive and fill the jar only with that the bees produce, the widespread pollution and heavy metals contamination means that honey would be risky to eat, too.

  3. Exploit global inequality - get exploited. Should have stayed on the Australian market, get jobs to Australian people.

  4. And even if going to Sportd Direct, you still cannot try the clothes, you have to buy it, try at home and hope it fits. If it doesn't, go back and pray they have your size. Or they don't refund you. You get a store credit to stay tied with them for the next year or two. With that attitude you are better buying from home. And perhaps from a different retailer.

  5. Commoners vs elite: that alone makes China NOT communist. People need to learn a definition of that word, not blindly parroting the nomenclature and put it in contrast to capitalism.

  6. ROFL, I am not fan of cheap copycats, but really? This simple design that has been here in various modifications for decades? Anyone can make one like this without much difficulties if they decide to do so and can use a sewing machine. I don't know how much the Japanese brand charges for this simple design, but the fact is that most of those buying it for a few bucks on Shein wouldn't buy the real stuff anyways. People scroll the Chinese app and buy a landfill like crazy because it is cheap, not because it is a copy of some branded item - most of the time. Who has the time to sweep the internet to see who else has this original design and decide to buy it on Shein?

  7. It is linked to poverty and shame, not to look poor, people decorate themselves with logos of supposedly brands, while truly rich people wear quite plain clothes, often very expensive, but without all those bells and whistles. But kudos to those who make it obvious the items are fake. That egg with a machine gun toy got me though... was it supposed to be a Kinder egg? Was it named as an Angrier egg on the wrap? 😂😂😂 All in all, if you try to demonstrate your social sttus via brands by displaying logos, you look cheap.

  8. Those reduced prices reflect more the actual value of the garments and footwear. No way a pair of joggers can justify like £49 price tag. The same goes for other brands like Nike. You literally pay your money to do adverts on the brand to other people when you wear it.

  9. Not just a battery, but the fuel also has a shelf life and after a year standing there it will probably be no good.

  10. New York houses are also collapsing, or their scaffoldings. Watched a short documentary on that. The standars are only as good as the construction adhers to them.

  11. What goes around, comes around. People cheating others are cheated by others at this scale of fraud. Shame the cancers take so long to develop, not giving them instant feedback. China is doomed.

  12. Shame on all those influencers for feeding into this irresponsible cheap-to-landfill craze, aiming to enrich themselves. One after another made conent about buying worthless stuff, talking about for the camera it and most likely throwing itto the bin straight after. Hundreds of them, thousands.

  13. Why? Because you lack the capacity to actually comprehend the reality? It is a fact that most of those people shopping on Shein or Temu or Wish and alikes woudln't buy the stuff from the original designers for their price. So what loss of income are the companies suing for? And I don't have an account with any of those cheapos. That first handbag isn't an original or sophisticate design one had to work hard to come with. It has been around for ages, in one form or another. Nothing special about it. Rather educate people to stop buying cheap crap, sometimes harmful to their health.  @ryanbarker5217

  14. What goes around, comes around. Now when China got rid of the most westerners, Chinese can enjoy the smog by themselves. What do they do to stop this?

  15. Finished the video, as the old saying goes: buy cheap, buy twice. Quality lasts and comes cheaper over time.

  16. The London crisis was due to people burning cheaper coal with a lot of sulphur in it. Combined with fog or when inhaling it, it turned to sulphuric acid in their lungs.  @tukmol1589

  17. Hm... who could object against people becoming slaves to gaming and spending all their savings on their addiction? Once the govt wants to help people and they are panicking. Stop living in the virtual world, with unregulated currencies. Get a proper job that actually helps somebody and leave games for leisure times, to be actually fun again. Get big money out of gaming. Go out, stretch your legs, get the sun hit your retina a breathe some fresh air.... well maybe not in China. Don't breathe much in China LOL.

  18. Before video games people did what? Neither they had it easy and crises were hitting them periodically.

  19. I play a number of digital games. None of them involve violence or fight or spending money. One is moving through levels by arranging gems, another one is finding words from letters on offer, another one shoots bricks from angles... a lot of digital entertainment that actually helps my brain increase synapses network instead of ruining my decision making skills, like many modern fighting games do. There was a research done on them. It ruins people's brains, especially teenagers' brains who struggle in real life as a result @gsomethingsomething2658

  20. I think you are still describing China. Americans have issues with finances, that is true, but they aren't that bad in relationships or drugged all the time. That is just CCP's wishful thinking.  @beloved-child

  21. Also, that hysteria about released TREATED water from Fukushima, the catastrophe of which happened 12 years prior, while the Tritium has a half life of just 11 years... China releases much worse stuff into its waters. Chinese should seek the Japanese seafood, not refuse it, because it is cleaner. Just another PR bu the CCP, to divert attention. And Chinese went hysterical over nothing. They literally cried like if going to die.

  22. Weren't these limits for withdrawal and obstacles with deceased people a thing just about a year ago? I am having a deja vu watching this. Are you fooling us?

  23. lying to customer - in construction there are several layers of organisation and on each layer somebody takes something for themselves, degrading the final product further. It isn't the designer who cheats, it is those minions on every layer who take home more money than they otherwise would. The same was for the totalitarian RuSSia and countries under its influence. They still battle with such mentality: if you don't steal, you are depriving your family.  @xostler

  24. So, people need to consume less, buy less, producing less waste. No, you don't need that another pair of cheap trainers or that plastic handbag.

  25. Never created an account with them, noticed them quite late. The same for Wish or Shein. I have been having an account with Aliexpress for years though and occasionally make an insignificant purchase, usually for stuff I would buy on other platforms like ebay or Amazon, the same, just for a higher price. It still is made in China, the same stuff, I just cut the middle man. I'll never risk clothes, shoes or electronics with these knock-off sharks. It is not worth the disappointment.

  26. These cars are meant for the expo halls, shiny and clean, with women leaning against them, as a CCP PR, not for an actual work.

  27. Why exploiting the global inequality and get surprised they cheat on you. Should have stayed on the Australian market and be a few days ahead of the cheaters.

  28. Yes, but the nuance was on standards and laws. Those went down the drain recently.  @maxhugen

  30. Watching this and remembering the state subsidies of Temu and alike, which flood the globe with cheap nonsense, am I wrong thinking there might be a connection? Like economy is going down in China so the CCP is paying corporations to hook greedy westerners on thir cheap c..rap, to at least alleviate 5his headache a bit?

  31. Do those Chinese have no taste uds that they cannot sense when something is off there? And that police officer choosing a restaurant to check, kudos to him. Otherwise the situation is mutual in China, sellers as corrupt as the offiials, letting stuff pass for a bribe.

  32. I am a bit puzzled why companies freak out when some weird tweet makes their stock value plummet, while another suddenly make them of a high value... like did the actual company just collapse or is the busines as usual? Those companies that aren't on the stock market don't exist? They don't make profit? They don't sell stuff and employ people? Why are businesses so focused on this volatile and crookd system?

  34. When China comes to the question I only use Aliexpress.If there is a problem with an item I always got a full refund. But those were small cheap items, crafting related like cutting dies or stamps. Never buying clothes, shoes or elecronics there, and not even considering cosmetics. Never opened an account with Tiktok, Temu or Shein. Occasionally I buy chinese via ebay, if I need it faster, butI haven't done that for ages.On Amazon only blending brushes, 2x, good value and to top up the basket to get free postage. Never had premium and not planning to. You need to be a smart shopper nowadays.

  35. Watching further, the societal disconnect... everybody cheats everybody in China. Babies are sucking this mentality with breastmilk. Good luck in making China democratic and law abiding... It will take generations, with a lot of despair in the process. And it wan't happen under a corrupt govt. But if the whole society is corrupt, where will they get a fair leader from? Genune individuals don't last long in such an environment. People keep going missing and power hunger is a too strong motivator for otherwise.

  37. I don't get the Maths. You think you couldd live from that amount you pay now per year, a year in the future after you retire, that you complain you pay in more years than you will keep getting your pension? Do your Maths again, folks.

  38. I have been showed these tofu dregs for the past over a year. Running out of topics? Over and over and over, the same stuff.

  39. "1,500 million dollars" is 1.5bn dollars. Just that amount of money sounds fake, let alone that story. But I am sure that CCP spends a lot of money bribing western influencers to speak nicely about China. Checking up with gpt bot, it also refutes this nonsense. Myth debunked! :D Besides, taking the fact that CCP censors anything negative about China, it is only normal to bring people back to reality and inform the wide world what china is trying to hide.  @WellSalt-Studio ​

  41. Go back to buying local, touch it before you buy it. Give jobs to ordinary people. Be happy with less.

  42. That is one of those perils of communism, which doesn't really exist in China. It is just a sticker on a capitalist system, a varnish. Everything is supposed to belong to everyone, but there are more exceptions than not.

  43. You know what other pig feed was given to humans? Skim milk. It used to be waste given to pigs, after butter production, now it is marketed as a healthier alternative for the price of normal milk. What a scam! Depleted of fat and fat soluble vitamins, reduced satiety effect (due to removed fat), marketed as higher in protein and calcium (for the amount replacing removed fat, peanuts) and you feel hungry sooner after this because the fat was removed, that makes you satisfied for longer. You save a handful of calories, just to stuff your face with 10x more by snacking afterwards.
