  15. It's really weird.. I live in an industrial city in the UK. Which was once upon a time, part of the steel industry.. and I actually remember this chat with a young chinese student as well... He was a student here... And then he finished. And he had the time to visit as a tourist.. so he came back ! (And this time round, he brought like a girl as well.... which I thought was super cute. He didn't say she was his GF... but we tried to converse in loose mandarin... lol.) So then... without embracing him.. we chatted.. and I found out that he also is from outer skirt of Beijing, where they had actual coal plants and productions. So then I said to him... "well.. when that finishes, new things will appear".. And he looked a little bit disappointed, cos he said it's very hard to change their mindsets. So I said..."the coals won't be forever, you have to change it"... And then I told him the city that we were in.. and how it changed from a mining community...(with a lot of back lashes) to become a more greener and sustainable city as well. And the smoke was gone. Even if you have the coal.. you cannot use it all up in this generation. I tried to say something along those lines towards him. So I said.. "you have to try, cos what is your next generation going to do" ?.... He kept nodding. And I could see that his friend was very quiet. I don't really know.. what was his future.. Would've been good to know what ever happened to him. I think I might have impressed him... or rather, he took noticed because.. you don't expect the elders to speak in a reversed psychology way.. lol... Maybe you're still the younger person etc. So cannot find a way up. Or something.

  19.  @AjitKomurlekar  : It does not have to be a "Christian" culture or thing... Even the Chinese... (like my mom raised pig's too).... and we also ate fishes as well.... This is why, if you raise the animal well, then what you eat is also well too. Pigs in the UK, especially domesticated, and farmed animals, their welfare standard is EXTREMELY high.... Really really high, and they are not wild animals either. Some people in China though, just assume that, if you use high heat to kill bacterias, then all is well... I presume. This is whereby... you need a super strong cooking method in order to make something. My mom never really roasted things. Pork is always cooked in soups... And often also marinaded with salt (to kill further bacterias, then drained away from the salt).... When cooking, she used to boil for ages, til the meat breaks down. And the nutrient goes into the stock etc. When I was a child, we had those big mega big wok.... The kind that, I think it had around a whopping 4-5 kilo wattage... Which definitely breaks down an animal. She also used to double-steam things as well... A porcelain pot inside a cooking pot. So this style of cooking, kind of mellows out the flavours, whatever you decide to cook in it. The Romans did not used to be scared of pig's either. They used to roast the entire thing on a rotary.... lol. Especially the wild pork. It is odd that... things have changed so... over the last 40 odd years. I never knew that people didn't know... like, things.

  27. That is actually racially discriminating ? Sure.. that can exists in Australia. Can it is enshrined in their LAWS !!! But China... that is "PRC".. has NOT reformed.. and has NOT enshrined those rights INTO law !!!! And what I am seeing is... the kind of "company policies" that should exist as part of the operation of a company, instead of using those policies and individual's code of conducts... the country uses it to embed it at the "state level"... (Well.. comparatively... the state level.. is equal to the size of a country say in Europe. 60 million, is almost the size of the UK. Ok, so fine.. you say that, the ratio and sizes of things.. should not be like for like between PRC and the rest of other countries. Then.. when it comes to trade.. Then surely you NEED to abide, and follow other countries' laws then, don't you ? So how come, I don't see that either ??? Why ??? ) China.,.. you guys were SO keen on sales that, you did not sell those internal mobiles, to be different to the external global mobiles, did you ?? You assume that, if you used Country A, B and C's specification... then you can corner the entire globe AND the world. WELL..... Here we are... We now , see your "shaming!... inside the PRC. What can we do? We can do nothing. The end. More spams happen. MORE people, after watching chinese videos.. often wants to slit their wrists and kill themselves. This is TOO intense. TOO much. On an average day.. my scroll.. I see around 30 odd "violent videos".... Do you realise how bad this is ? In the past.. I only watch like around maybe 4 videos maximum for a day. I don't or didn't even have a high spec end phone. Only 3Gs.. and not graphically inducing... video... psycho screens that are faster than my eyes can move !!!!!....Do you see whypeople hate these products coming out of China ? Sure.. there is a LOT of money to be made.. in all honesty... Dumb down and make dumb phones !!!!! I take it all back.. when I think that... Maslow's hierarchy was a dummy concept. Obviously in this high tech world now. This is a genuine and real academic phenomena. Just that you guys are not at the receiving end of this. But the entire globe. All of Europe... IS... Cos I have been buying mobile phones... 1 a year.. for the past TWENTY years... Did you know that ?? And we rent those lines AS well... did you know that ? That makes it around HOW much ????..... China makes around 18 BILLION mobile phones per year.... Why are you guys rich? WE are the Serfs.....not you. WE ARE. Serving YOU.... goddamn it.

  56. Because when he came to the UK.. back then, the world and the globe only had around "60 countries"... back then... today, it has around "200 countries".... And even back then, many countries were part of the British Empire... so Ghana was a British Colony. When the colony's countries were detached, around that, time, the structures of governance were being built. This gentleman must have been somebody pretty important if he was able to leave his country back then, on a passport. Cos most Brits that could commute this way back then, would have been diplomats or the sons or the daughters of diplomats.. kind of like HK were. So... that is why he would have had the visas or the paper work to enter into the UK. It is afterwards that would've been complicated.. Because, what would've been the decisions then ? If you were building something "in a grey area"... back then.. and neither party have made decisions, you don't want to be the first one to make it. He might've been stuck this way, because of that... Whereas people like my family... with regards to HK.. we kept going back home to visit... (this increased those trades, for a start)... and it also built up the banking as well... and therefore the visa processes etc. But this didn't happen for ALL Countries. And those processes that are built back then. Is NOW being abused.. by so many internet savvy individuals... and scammers... His story is really fascinating. That fact, I got recently from BBC Chinese... about the 60 to 200 countries... And to be fair, you don't want to lock down on policies, cos somebody on the internet stated so. Individuals, NEED to think for themselves.. and go to their own government to state their cases of how they wish things to unfold... But many people doesn't do that. So.... In the UK, we do do that, but it got so complicated.. we can't even implement processes that keeps the status quo any more... Cos lives move faster than processes...

  74. But that is something that you guys have to go through though. And then you need to also offer things like abortions as well. And create THE eventual healthcare system for your society? Why are people not doing this kind of empire building business. On the one hand, I hear a lot of "social media" accusations from Africans... as a Brit... I continue to hear all of this "racism" issue. But... don't you care beyond your own family and how they will fair ? Life is not equal.. even when I was growing up, I knew that. But... it does not mean that, it HAS to get worst. Does it? There is actually enough people in the UK for the NHS. We just are playing cold shoulder games, right now. Which is bureacracies. And then, because people are not playing balls...we are now doing things like refugee healthcare.. more like UN level work. Which is NOT right ! I tend to try and keep myself healthy.. but by no means, should we lose our talents. A lot of people have left the UK, and gone onto other countries like the ex-commonwealths as well. Or even from Europe, they come and then they go. Even despite holding them to account, and locking them down, they want more money. SO... when will things change ??? Is it fair that, "you were raised in a good health care systems, only for the next generation NOT to receive this same standard?"..... Some countries like Singapore, now does DNA healthcare already. It is already "the end"... cos people take care of what they eat and drink, and how to keep well. There is no need for these kind of doctors on basic things any more. Don't you realise that your market is in Africa ? Your assumption is that, your industry will never be disrupted. But to any working professionals, we know that, they know that, each sector will change and reform. So why don't you continue and be the value adder to your own country, rather than to seek things this way? As much as everybody has access to the GLOBAL internet... Did you not think that there were people BEFORE you, who have "been there, done that" ??? I know a lot of people in the UK working for the NHS. Either family friends as well as retired doctors too. Most just either go abroad, once they are done here. I know one went to Dubai.. but now he came back. Cos it did not work out. But if you are able to be the MANAGEMENT level... to change the course of destiny of your own country, why would you now accept this is your eventual path??? I don't get it. A lot of doctors in the UK also quit to work in the pharma sector to add values also to their researches too. Which is what happened. But by no means does it mean that, we do not have enough doctors. We do. These companies, are basically playing politics.. and want to force the sector to go down the insurance routes! We KNEW this... And this is why people protests on the streets of London and whatnots !!!!! Please know that, this is all just a game. Everybody KNOWS what is happening.. especially those of us who stayed and worked for like 20-30 odd years... we know.

  79. What he said in the story is wrong. Cos it was punti that had land owner rights. Why do I say that ? Cos each village represents an actual family unit. Especially with the head of the family be house owner etc. That is why you can find a cluster of villages. They are all relatives. Why do I say that they own the land and the farms ? Cos those lands are gifted to them by their fathers before. And therefore would farm them to feed their own family first before actually pay or give to the family communal pool. For taxes etc. And why do they own that land ? Their ancestors would've been one of the imperial academics or other that would be given lands to settle on. And there are categories of actual civil servants etc. Therefore the whole system works. You can't just walzt into another turf or patch of land that isn't yours.... the thing which kicked off the situation was that the outsiders tried to assume the land via Qing when in reality Qing has no jurisdiction rights in that area. This is why the locals took up arms to protect their lives and killed off as many outsiders as they could. In the end around 1 million punti died or something. And then they built walls in their villages as well.... today in modern society... some people call these individuals triads. Some people also think that divide and conquer works. But you are also killing the "last of the emperor"... so why even call yourself Chinese ? Western media thinks the Qing is the single overall ruling imperial families. Inside China, they know that there are more than a single ruling imperial family and have consecutively different ones running in parallel.... If this was not so. Then you would not have separate land contracts between westerners and Cantonese in HK. Not separate schools etc etc....

  90.  @petercai128  : It is quite pathetic, because even the "worst citizen" in most Western and advanced country, is not as bad as the "worst ones" in China. This video shows an actual "middle class" family.. by chinese standards.. Now, this IS the shocking thing. So how come China do not reduce its population size then. And how come, China doesn't even reconcile the family structures, so that, decisions are made together as a family, and cost are calculated even before doing ? How come other countries, have to consider things like that.. and yet, China does not ? I watched some old TVB videos recently... It showed that even back in the 1980s... the chinese government was basically "rebuilding historical" artefacts.... It was rebuilding a modern Tibet.. when the old structures have basically collapsed. I never knew that. I thought that they were still the original buildings !!!!! So much for "tourism". Everything about China is super fake. This is not what the UN signed up for. This is also not what, the people in Europe signed up for. Mending a little bit here and there is fine. But completely rebuild something... I mean.... That article about the Great Wall... I mean.. I am shocked... So how come people do not do the work slowly, and analyse it slowly then. Why rush and do ALL work, in a single generation ? Why ? That video.. also mentioned that.. the film produced by NHK.. took around 17 years to slowly film and to slowly make. And now, everyone has a damn mobile phone and that they could film asap. People learn their crafts in the past... They literally learn to build things slowly.. Because China is doing this as well... just keep on selling. You guys are basically dumbing down other countries' children too. You ever thought about it like that ? I was so shocked to see some students in the UK.. from China.. who could not even type in a password.. and does not know something so simple as a Capital Letter. They cannot explain to me what it is !!!! And yet, they are studying here abroad !!!! F!ck. If you cannot write or speak Chinese, do you think that you would and can go to school ? I don't think so. You won't past !

  99.  @luisvillafane3950  : As a British Cantonese.. I will tell you that, PRC...(I don't want to dignify them and call them "china" cos they are not.) PRC.. has already made moves... 1) With Russia.. , the PRC has now provided arms and military provision for Afghanistan. 2) They have now bought oil, and various deals on arms... with Saudi Arabia. An American journalist has already been assasinated as well. With the PRC...(which is a chinese version of the Soviet Union)... And all they talk about is "unification with Taiwan"... There is no "unification".. Cos Taiwan was actually Chinese. The PRC is not China. THIS is the ultimate thing. There never ever was a "Single China"... not when there is Tibet. With Mongolia. Historically.. it never was either ! The few remaining genuine Chinese.. have moved further Southward as well.... While the conquered North have expanded their population.. with mixing with those Northern tribes. i.e. Manchurian. Siberians. Mongolians (ex-Koreans) Turkic people etc. Soviet Union fell apart is because.. it tried to "unite" different racisl groups and different civilisation under a single umbrella, under a Monarchy. But in truth... those who lived there, had been a civilisation for a long time. Like the Turkics. Like the Siberians. Today, the PRC would not rock the boat.. cos there are always revolts... So they just sign papers and lies in the media about consent. This is why US doesn't even want to get involved either. And those people, often are left alone.. but once a while, the powers that be.. pushes them a little bit here and there. And sweeten their deals... to edge them to become more Sinitised. i.e. Han-nification. So they bring in a lot of Northern Hans people to inter-marry and to dilute their population in order to win the soveignty. That is what had been going on for many years. I hope Taiwan will rise. With Japan. I think with what PRC has done.. there is definitively going to be another war soon. Very soon. They are pushing for a lot...

  104.  @nisha13139  : In a way, they mistaken and misjudged the situation.. because.. if what this video is true.. if you do not equalises in some ways now, and hold tight and keep things going... there really isn't a next generation to carry on any way? And if there is a population issue... then it means an actual migration issue that needs to exist later on. And yet, those who are skilled... surely needs to be trained? Even like China is playing catch up... their most skilled people are not skilled? i.e. Skilled is slowly taken up... i.e. "I do, I internalise"... Imagine, digitally.. the entire world just "equalised by default"... but yet.. we still have people that cannot read, speak, or write. Not really. In a way, technology has... increased our "socialising", but the "doing"... not many are educated to do or know what to do? I said to an ex-colleague once..."I am giving my 6 years of degree, and masters.. and my 8 years of working experience in this sector, all crammed into these references notes to you, so that you do not make a mistake. Why did you bite me?"... The lady does not speak English. Earns more than she would have in her own home country. Came here on a child visa... and there are people that helps her past her own English tests. And yet, the government keeps doing this.. for opportunities or for humanity. And yet... there are far more educated diplomat's children... from the commonwealth countries that would be a lot better than she is. I cannot believe that life is where it is now... from my father's 1970s life... or rioting.. and fights.. for some stabilities in the 1980s... to the uncertainties of the 1990s and 2020s....

  113.  @morrisonparker3229  : Shanghai had always been a foreigner's trading hub. The issue is that, the chinese government was fighting amongst themselves.. and this led to a situation. Cos.. why would one province fight with anothe province ? Even in Europe, people do not fight. AND they count how many people, and how many houses. And this is why democracy works. Cos the ratio of your salaries.. and the worth of your currency is dependent on how many people, how many items. Suppler and demand. So... what do these individuals think when they are actually running a business? All the care about is actually their own immediate budgets and outgoings. And would grab at anything. I don't think that, they would even know, how many buildings exist in their own city or province ? (And this is also why HK was ruined as well... cos the governing body, literally attacked both the locals... e.g. my family..... and then also attacked the housing as well. i.e. You're NOT supposed to get public housing, if you are NOT living in that city, or is a citizen of that city. And yet, the flood gate was open... and now the very same people who said that, they have a RIGHT to be there.. are enjoying very very low wages. They won't even get the higher wages, cos the area has been depressed. ) ..... Yeh.. my mother's generation of 7 kids.. Managed to produce only 4 adults.. and only 2 adults, have kids. Cos nobody could afford anything any more. And we're mostly around 2 generation living under the same roof. So it means, around 2-3 generation of people, sustaining ONE house !!!!! These individuals, are arrogant.... that is what I think. And we also had to pay inheritance taxes as well.. which the civil servants lied.. and hoovered up. Cos the mainland people didn't have to do that at all !!! Was robbed, left, right and centre !!!! Asswipes. So yeh.. this does NOT surprise me at all. You pay so many taxes.. only to then be wasted away by incompetents.... It is a crying shame... really upsetting. A lot.

  117.  @goodgrief888  : I don't think that it is necessarily free that they like... but I know that ice cream is rare inside China... so then they will make an even better effort to eat it. Cos apparently they don't have it in china. I can see why though. A lot of English people also likes their tea leaves so much as well... and are very particular. Lol... It's like that.... lol.... I now realised why my dad was so upset with me... when I was asked by my geography teacher to go on a school trip to Xian in the PRC. He refused to sign the papers. I think he knew that people would be so rude.. or very unreasonable... and can kick off any time.. I don't even see this kind of thing... in the UK.. well.. unless it was a football team kick off.. but even then... they ignore us ladies.. and we just walk past and by. Cos we know it is not personal. But most people are a lot more disciplined now any way over recent years. So.... and most people or their fans would find ways to see the matches together anyway. So they still get their own personal kicks without causing other neighbours with issues. So.... I realised now the stories of my dad's were all true.. when he said that, he used to get into fights as well... even with those other chinese workers.. on those merchant ships... etc etc. People will indeed just pick a fight etc. So nothing really changed, much then. This is also why we moved so far away from chinatown too. We were in London first.. and he moved us closer to mom's siblings.. and then we played with our cousins... and was raised in a smaller city. Which was brilliant. I doubt that this is not going to kick off in big Shanghai. I read that, it was around like another typical 10 million city too.... I have met so many Shanghainese in the UK. Lots of them. Just gave up their wealths.. houses... cars and their expensive permits etc. They all just left. lol. I can see why now. I can see why some parents want to send their kids to the UK's schools and universities... for a better experience. Cos many universities are in a tiny small town. Not even classed as a city. It is very tranquil... less than even 100 000 people sometimes.

  128.  @lordlee6473  : I used to have this phrase amongst my peers when I was a child.. and we say this, when our parents are pushy..."Yan Bei Yan, Bei Sai Yan"...meaning... "when you compare people to people, the only result is ended in death".... So never compare yourself, to someone else. Never compare the standard, that you are to be the same. This is a flawed thinking. Into the future, a society can only function, if there are nurses, and then there are teachers, or that there are farmers. Why should there be no farmers, and there are teachers? Do you not need to eat ? So you have teachers, but they refuse to farm. Or that you can know many things, but you never get an opportunity to apply it ? So many people learn so much... but they never apply it , at all. Ever ! So what is the point of doing that to begin with ? And if you noticed.. a lot of kids in the US, are a lot more collaborative... i.e. They WILL work together, and be suggestive, and work well in a company. Look at the kids in China.. when they enter a company, they kind of turn into this hierarchial setup ? Like, they fall into line? Even when they should not ? Even if the structure is supposed to be flat. They will build up this imaginary structure. I think most companies don't like that... Also, most kids when they enter the companies... they also don't tell one another, mistakes are happening, so that collectively, as a company, they would literally resolve the issue. They literally would rather let the situation rot... and then they would get promoted, and then someone else demoted. This is like.... WHY does this happen? This kind of behaviour.. is why there is a lot of pollutions and things inside China.

  168. I think the issue is coming back round in full face because, there did not used to be this "international entity" for one. And because people, or basically groups of people joined.. and realised that this is a possibilities.. then this is just... It causes chaos. To me.. I see the UK with its commonwealth system. This was enough, "as it is"... And we were not part of the EU back then, and so some of the human rights laws, did not overlap. Cos the UK had its own robust laws, to let people in, OR out of the UK in term of the Commonwealth. I know, cos my parents fell into this category. SO... when we, or if I did decided to go back home, so how come, the British companies did not hire people like myself, back to say in my commonwealth countries to begin with ? In HK ? Cos it should've been so.. but I was refused this kind of thing.. and so then.. when the money, or those banking sectors were basically ruined, destroyed and basically forced to bank run. And lose its money. What exactly did people expected ??? And now.. here we are.... Back to a kind of square one situation. And yet, when most of us, would not dare to have kids, and would think twice, and just abort or something. Here we are... many people have had kids... and the population is now reaching a whopping 7 billion. Even the Indonesian area.. alone... has reached like a mega whopping doubled their population under the last 40 years. UK cannot sustain this... Europe knows.. It was because of the infighting of the past, which led the exploration of new land, wasn't it ? Which created the America that we know of today. "The New World"....

  188. @Neil : No... That is incorrect. What really is happening is that, riots, and protests took place in HK. Something to do with a specific law.. And that law, can allow the mainland law and order, to take a citizen, to be extradited into the mainland for questioning, and to be "trialled". Bearing in mind that, the legal system in the mainland, is different to HK. Extremely different. Even under the Sino-Joint Declaration... UK has some kind of loose ties with PRC, with regards to HK for 50 years. Somehow, along the way, a lot of bickerings.... over how to create a situation which worked for both areas... and now, Shenzen, boomed. But the thing is... someone pointed me to info that, the PRC as it currently structured, run and do things in a central way. Boom or bust. It is like central collective actions. (This kind of model, mimicks that of the old Imperial Dynasties... Even Japan.. does not do this... Cos it has now separation of powers, and they separated the way they structured their political tier. So that, it can still adhere to a form of Imperialism.. but with a modern democracy. ) Anyway.. the Sino-Joint declaration meant that, the babies born in 1997... before the handover, were born on British soil. So therefore, they are entitled to British citizenship. However, because it was a Commonwealth country at that time. The correct passport, was a "BNO" (British National Overseas) passport. So this is what the UK government is trying to figure out. HK government, issued their own version, a "HK SAR", which is supposed to mimick the same as a full British Passport. I don't know why they did that.. Cos it caused a LOT of issues !! The current money-laundering issue is probably one of those situation. Cos the PRC, nor the mainland officials took control. They just "let loose"... Either the people were not educated, or that they did not follow the law... I mean.. if you think that they follow the mainland laws.. You can see why mistakes were made. BNO is not full citizenship. It is like a half a citizenship. You can only gain full, if you pay taxes, and worked in the UK, like for 5 years before you can apply to be full citizenship. So a lot of people bombed it down to HK to get these kind of "passports"... not knowing that, it is a so called "citizenship" document, and not a VISA ! It is so complicated... so many people do not even know what it means.

  196. Even though the current sets are not actually safe. Then they need to modify it, so that it complies. So if it sticks out like that, then they need to put it in front of their own stores or something. Or on the side. Most roads in all other countries have a clear numbering system, and a clear sign as well. Some are very small. So maybe small signs, which are ergonomic and then are cost effective, is the way to go ? This should be a booster to the commercial sector, get ALL shops or stores to be replaced, and one single company to do this from endto-end. How hard is this ? Not very hard. Japan has done their ages ago... and incorporated it into their own designs. Those signs might not be correct for an actual outdoor sign, but they could indeed be installed as an art installation, or for the inside of an actual mall or bar, or whatever. Like how Japan has done it. And make it low energy as well etc. Maybe "lower wattages" and make it energy efficient. How hard is it to convert them? Not that hard at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdb1CqZhFuY <---- See how Japan has adopted and preserved ALL their signs ? And added laterns as well.... and they increase their usages of LEDs too. Japan has ceiling to floor glasses... but would HK be confident to have this kind of stores ? Without breakages ? And vandalism ? Their indoor lights, shines onto the pavements... Whereas all stores in HK, has metal shutters, in case somebody steal something. If those "lamp posts" have actually a solar panel.. which absorbs during the day.... and then at night, it lights up. How much energy does the city conserve ? A lot. And doing this, then means that, more energy for the housing. Flats etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY-FU6y3mIg

  197.  @yummychips_  : You will find that democracy is never going to exist in China.. Cos the way they "agree with the state", means that the young generation cannot have their own voices, or their own ideas, and so forth. It will go round again. Order will never return, cos people will fight again. Some people build empires, and they build countries. Others, build poverty. They build ignorances. This is what happens. Even the British government acknowledged that, HK had only around 600 villages, the legitimate ones. The other people are basically "stowaways". Back in the imperial days, whereby you cannot escape and run away from your family, or your province that you were born in ! The governor, should feed you and make sure you are looked after !!! So much for that ! Gazillion people rush from the North, down to the South, and even go as far as to invade those people as well... So how come nobody stayed and communicated, and figure out why ?? How many people from HK died in the Punti-Hakka war ? Between half a million, to a million people... A few Manchus were assimilated into the South. As with those from Fuijian, who speaks Min... So many ran down South... HK is one of those bad places, that gets invaded again, and again, and again. Even if you say something is illegal, these people still would actually invade or trespass any way. Confucianism should be applied to HK, and families, SHOULD indeed be resettled. Back to their own governor's towns or provinces. So how come, the Chinese government, do not provide money to build and rebuild houses and hometowns ??? They should. So many ghosts town... But why didn't those people build or to finance other families to build THEIR own towns ??

  203. Exact same thing with oyster sauces from HK into the UK a long time ago. When those small family businesses, started, or tried to expand. And then have issues holding onto supply chains and so forth. When they are of a certain size and level and need to meet sales and demands. Then this is what happens. Substitution exists. Unilever was famous for global expansion. I rather they sell it "as it is" without re-processing it again. So before brexit, we did have local excess stocks. Local sellers would tend to buy those and then resell. People don't mind. It's now a case of.. supply chain ends up on British shores... This is now an issue as well. And then some clever clogs try to fudge it. i.e. Force several ingredients together to make new things instead of wasting anything. Now, that I don't agree with ! (THIS is ultimately what this video is talking about....) And they are always those.. gimmicky things. "We only have this much. How much can we sell and make a profit and not a loss?".... I rather that they shrink the size, than to create some odd ball things. I see a lot of this kind of oddball things.. in the UK. They mostly come from Europe. Like.. I found out that... Pringles made with rice. And has Russian labels on them. When I bite into it... I almost cracked my teeth. I bet these are the "new recipes" from another region. In the UK, the manufacturer uses potatoe powder. It's absolutely crazy. (And rice is not the same as potatoe or wheat. It is too tough to eat as raw. (And this is another one of those issues of, the sellers doesn't know how to deal with the ingredients either.) My nephew had something which was inedible this Easter period. He found some odd rice crackers. With a Polish label. In a Turkish supermarket. I tried it.. and realised that it was manufactured wrongly. It's not even cooked properly. It was hard ? (Rice in Asia is never dried. It is always used in a liquid recipe in one form or another.) I almost choked on the thing. I don't even know how that got passed their QA !!!

  207.  @johndoh5182 : Ask yourself this question, "what happens during midnight?".... Normally, automated plants, and doors, and working industries happens during midnight. So where do you think the water came from ? You don't think that it came from the nearby nuclear plant's actual cooling water quantity ? Is this why Wuhan's region was cleared. And this was for releasing the Three Gorge's Dam for. In case it breaks it. And I didn't understand the need for building these dams when for years the country didn't need it. And yet it went ahead. So what makes use of dams? Hydro electricities of nuclear plant cooling. So which one is this one ???? And Guang Dong already has them.... from days of Thatcher.... and that was why Mao was sent abroad, wasn't he ? Cos he went to France. And what did France have back then ? Nuclear plants ! Which is the main energy resources that France relies on as well..... This is all starting to make sense now. Now I also get why... the entire country wants to build high rises... and why.. in the UK, we have been getting actual individuals like... those areas that might get flooded or evacuated. i.e. Sichuan. Or from Wuhan now... and why the French minister went into China to have a talk with Xi before... and this was captured on all chinese media and TV and broadcasted it globally as well. And that was in Canton. Not in HK. But in Shenzen. So they signed a deal to take on some of the nuclear plant's work ???? The water from the Three Gorge's cannot reach HK or that far. This is not possible.... so it means a local release of water. So where did the water came from ?

  212.  @PunditKING  : I did not say "no dowry", I wrote "use less dowries"... and then let the remaining amount of money, to be put away or to a middle man.. for safe keeping and then repaid as an income. Many people even in the UK or in Europe still follows Christian values as well. Even if they cannot afford a formal wedding. Then they can use a civil service, and then a small party. Rather than a more formal affair. Some people would pay one month's salary. Others would use half a month's salary. And any gifts are based on their needs, or not. As it's the case may be. Whereas... some of my friends that were also chinese, either the woman pays... or worked a few years, they date... and then the woman adds her salary into the dowries as well....(after discussion between themselves, of course).... and then the guy gives it to the inlaws. Or some of my friends, one guy who gave his salary to his parents for years. She saved it up, and used it as a dowry for him when he married. The inlaw gets this, but then they gave this back to their daughter as "baby money"... which.. at least the child for the first few years would not starve. 2-3 years the child would be fine. Both male and females are now more pragmatic? More SOLID. Realistic. Thankful. As weddings are getting more expensive... it is too extravagant in many ways too. You don't have to throw away the concept of your tradition, your identity, but at least be realistic. Pragmatic. Not stupid. But be good. Be real. Decent. Usually, whe the money is put into a fund, this is because it is those people's money. i.e. Those people are often related to one another as well. Even though the next generation won't know this... or at all. So.. what can you do? The elders eat the young, and then the youngsters when in position of powers.. eat the elders... So...

  265.  @GirlishPoppy  : Auntie is so happy to see you be "back to your normal self".... because when you lose weight, you are basically entering the "starvation mode" for your body. Your entire body will shut down... and "eat" the extra fat... In those videos, I can see that you guys have gone too far. There was NO fat left ! This is dangerous... cos you are bordering dying. I hope you realised why your parents were so upset. Those pictures, I would never ever thought I would see in 2022... Cos only starving kids back in Africa looked like that in the 1980s, before the internet explosion, and global media. Super skinny bones, no fat, and no glow, and just a bloated stomach. (Cos by that time, your body cannot absorb food any more...) This is so dangerous. Beauty, we can use different size clothing to "make" us look more beautiful. This is why we are into fashion ! Goodness me !!! It does not mean that, we HAVE to always wear children's clothes ! Your body will grow or shrink, depending on the weather as well... This is so normal. You need food for blood circulations, and health. Keeping healthy for survival is every mother's wish for their child. I hope more girls will watch this video... to show how dangerous it is to, not look after your health. Oh, also, whoever that "trainer" in those "gyms" were.. They SHOULD have been a responsible trainer. When they see that you are dipping into the "danger" zone, they should have backed off. Or not to let you go extreme. This is what they are there for ! To provide a service !!!! I would say that they have provided a BAD service, if they brainwashed you TO the extreme ! UK gyms would NEVER let you dip into the danger zone... And they will go "Slow" in weight loss as well.. not fast losing rate. A SLOW losing rate.... and steady growth.

  267. China is a very big place.. and it is very political.. that is why these men, wants to marry into a smaller Russian town or city.. Whereby they could have a genuine personal and private life? Most elites inside the PRC cannot have that really... as a life.. So.... When you see a country in terms of its size like 1.2 billion people.. Can you have a private life? No, you cannot. Even if you avoid some situation with your parents.. either of them.. you would also find other situation that would affect you indirectly. So.... Most people living in small communities, could have more of a private scenario.. but otherwise.. everybody does not... and this is whereby it fails.. as a society... It's very weird.. if I dress up... two responses occurs.. One.. if it was a foreign guy... a local white guy, he would open the door for me. I would say "thanks". But when it is a chinese older guy... he would make a nasty comment... but then again, maybe I am not used to that either.. Cos in his mind, he is swearing in a way.. and my .. or my younger position should be more... "kowtow-ish" towards him.. So you see.. how do you survive this constant... and continuous... older/younger ettiquettes ??? Exactly how ??... Never mind the public and work life, Vs the private and personal life. It's really funny... in another youtube video... the video showed how a young guy, defended his mother.. He also dressed AS good as she does too. So that he doesn't show HER up... outwardly. Now, this is called "smart"... You need to show where your loyalty lies.. So... He doesn't critise his mother.. for not dressing up. She might be ready to give up on life... and she is making an effort to stay alive... and do her thing... which is taking care of herself, since he is old enough. So why shouldn't that happen ? At all ?...

  268. READ THIS PLEASE..... "Early Currency in China With a history of over 3000 years, Chinese currency existed in both Ancient and Imperial China. In 1914, the Silver Dollar was established as the official currency of the Republic of China, with copper, fen, and nickel coins being added in the 1930s. During this time silver appreciated in value, and China could no longer retain the silver standard. In 1935, a new currency known as Fǎbì, was issued. Introduction of the Gold Yuan and Chinese Yuan Renminbi The Gold Yuan replaced the Fǎbì in 1948 at a rate of 1 Gold Yuan to 3 million Yuan Fǎbì. That same year, the Yuan Renminbi (often called RMB) was introduced as a way to help stabilize the Communist held areas of mainland China. In 1955, a re-evaluation took place and a new Yuan Renminbi was introduced at a rate of 1 new Yuan to 10,000 old Yuan. The Renminbi in Foreign Exchange During the command economy, the Chinese Yuan Renminbi was set to unrealistic exchange values and as a result, severe currency guidelines were put in place. When China's economy opened in 1978, the Yuan Renminbi was only used domestically and foreigners used exchange certificates; this led to a powerful black market. From 1997 to 2005, the Chinese government pegged the Chinese Yuan Renminbi to the US Dollar at approximately 8.3 CNY to 1 USD. In 2005, a flexible mechanism of exchange rates was phased in, with the RMB being re-evaluated to 8.1 Renminbi per US dollar. The Chinese government launched a pilot program in 2009, allowing some businesses in Guangdong and Shanghai to execute business and trade transactions with counterparties in Hong Kong, Macau, and select nations. The program has since expanded to all areas of China and all international counterparties. China has also made agreements with Australia, Japan, Thailand, Russia, and Vietnam to allow for direct currency trade, instead of converting to the US Dollar. As a managed float, the Renminbi's value is determined by a basket of foreign currencies." This comes from a database that dealt with different currencies and things like that... If the US dollars is no longer use, then why is the Yuan so valuable? IT is not any more. And it should exit out of the world's trade already... Cos it isn't pegged basically.... from 1 new yuan to around 100 000 old yuans... And even the Taiwanese banks that were in NYC.. they were kicked out already, a LONG time ago...!!! I bet the Americans did not know that, the PRC did not actually even HAD an actual banking system.. They assumed that, they were like the Taiwanese.. I bet. I bet they did not know that, they weren't even a formal Imperial structure. Cos if it was.. then why would the Southern Chinese... Or there was a divide between North and South ? Southern Hans Chinese had trades with SE Asia.. and they also traded in gold as well. I expect PRC's so called building empire to be dropped. And then those money could be released back to their central banks. Cos what else can they do ???... They over built... and over used... and not even stuck to the right format. They should've just merged an entire company together. Or something. But they did not do that. It is always "everything or nothing" approach... So... They couldn't even do vertical either. This is their own fault and demise. Nobody else's issues...

  282. It can depend on which city you go to. We used to have the Dutch...(which we have always had)... and they grow vegetables for us here in Sheffield.. and most restaurants used to use their veggies.. we have an airport that flies veg and fruits into the North... so the wholesalers sell to us.. and then local restaurants would go there and pick their best.. and cook etc. That had been a long way to get things going. It is when.. well... lots of overdevelopments now. People think that it was clever to build new high rises... that drove and collapsed the entire supply chains. So everything is now closed. Lots of internal loans.. bankrupt the entire town... and decimated it. Cos the council assumes that is the way to go? So over development happened.. and in a single fell swoop... that whole idea of "European project".. went under... and we collapsed.... People ran. After that. We consolidated our energy suppliers... and that went to Germany.... Even some odd houses.. still don't have good heating. But many houses went through an actual retrofitting piece.... So people kept going and going etc... Refitting each house etc etc etc... So.... And it boosted higher prices.. and those went under as well.. so this is why, we now have this big North and South divide.... as well.. and some bankrupcies are happening... A lot of people homeless... etc etc.. And running restaurants are no longer amenable... Some people should NOT have sold their houses... at all.. or anything. Cos they shouldn't have retrofitted to this high extent... Anyway... from a 1k house, turned into an expensive 160k. And the food is not even... it is not reasonable... so nobody buys it. At one point, people were trying to push for mortgages for the sake of mortgages... it is pointless. (A lot of councils are actually bankrupt.. and we basically serve the euro..... so yeh.. please don't complain an insult us though... cos even the colonial countries.. are now cramming into the UK too....) If we abolished the euro.. I won't cry. Sorry, but I won't... I still remember when Europe had their own individual currencies...

  289.  @jamesnordhoff5386 : Hakka people are not Bai Yue DNA descendents people. They come from the North ? And why this is "war" is because they belong to another Imperial Dynasty or family. Whereas the South, had an actual established structure and Imperial Clan tree. So this is why, this video reflects that as well ??? Google on Zhou Tou.... Some people accept that, cos if they studied science, then they would believe it. Some people who doesn't and assume that, the "current 2023 data that they are looking at, reflects history".... (Some people are also mixed race now in HK, because of the British. They allowed some Jews traders and Armenians to settle into HK, and hence, their European DNA existed and spread across the entire areas. The gentleman who posted his family tree online stated this as much. And today, why so many Indonesians speakers English so well as well ? I bet that, they are those disporas who were educated under an English speaking system, but doesn't know or accept if they are part of the Bai Yue or not.) .... Those people tend to call themselves "Asians" and they refer "Anything else, is classed as Chinese".... whereas I know the differences between hakka, Fuijianese, and Cantonese etc etc etc.... Cos I was raised under such environments both in HK during my mother's generation, as well as now in the UK... People who migrated into the UK in those earlier years would speak either Hakka or Cantonese. With 20 years of experiences, why wouldn't one know this ????....

  291. East End used to have LOTS of actual... people from abroad... and the ex-commonwealth countries.. and this report is WRONG. The way they say that, these people are treated.. as in.."poverty"... Er... NO.... Because the exchange rates favour them as well. If they flew in goods to sell.. at a reasonable price, they just make even ?? So don't try and gentrify those location so much that, they are then forced to pay for the property and not the land? Many of those lands and housing were paid off already in the previous generation !!! This is a misnomer ! So... those families, SHOULD indeed use their existing prices... and everything to stay reasonable.. or to up their import etc. This is whereby the UK government needed to step in !!! If there are small niche contracts to be signed, then so be it. It is precisely because, people don't see the old Commonwealth model.. and they embrace this weird globalisation model.. and people aren't even playing ball. And the same with immigration as well... An Indonesian is allowed to work in the UK for around 16k... but their take home currency is actually 55 million rupees... Now, who is dealing with this issue here? EU is not dealing with this at all. They don't care. They are not even raising this up for questioning !!!! the amount of bureacracies.. and "deals" locking these cities down, to stop people from thriving. I think, some people do good by their communities. They plant fruits and veggies as well.. and they keep going... so that everybody is fed...

Now... if someone stated that they were genuinely British... especially from HK as well... would they know to take the sides of the Travellers... ? I bet not, right ? They would not even know how to uphold their values either.... And rightly so. Just like now.. in HK... my grandfather's land.. and "me" included.. has been subjected and forced to be classified as "indigenous"... but Owen here.. does not know why that should NOT be so ??... Whether it is by Imperial Chinese laws.. the Tang Code... or by the British Commonwealth's inputted laws.. or when it was transitioned into the Sino-Joint Declaration... It is like... some people trying to forget the financial system put into place, by the British... and that they only care about the UN treaty that was signed after 1997.... and the way that the US dollar supported them.... THIS is why they seem "confused"... overall... And also... those who were supposed to be accountants... and signed under the British' Chartered Professional certification.. That was all gone... after 1997... and this is why... the accountancy part now is falling apart as well... Cos did they not transitioned and transferred into some weird local certification format ? Yes, they did !!!..... This is why now... Xi Jing Ping... wants to actually demolish HK... cos he has also shares into Ping An.. and various financial institutions as well...!!! THAT is what is going on... As one Malaysian financier said to ME....."but... this is a private exchange.. they can decide who they like to list, and they can reject any company as they like cos they get the commissions etc"..... I thought to myself... Actually... the reason and rationale that... HK only came about.. cos of disporas like myself.. my grandfather's generation... as well...who worked abroad.. and then.... brought home the bacon. And that money built the city that it is today. WHOSE heritages.. and WHOSE money was it? Was it this current generation ? Whose money built the damn thing !?.... And then... Who bought the land.. off the back of whose hard work ??? This is whereby the British was good to document all taxes and things.. so that it was evidences and legitimise the deals. And then.... So we don't matter ?.... So when mr Fok's contribution and that he gave money away. THIS was documented. But those of us who worked abroad.,. and brought home and used that money IN the city... and BUIILT things WITH money... and that money that ended up in the bank... and created a continuous loan entity. THAT is not accounted for. ?!?!!?.... Oh NO... your financial record is WRONG... it is NOT correct ? Really? I still have ALL my old cards too !!! ALL OF IT. EVIDENCES !!!!..... So whose money was it that built the exchange? It was not that man's. So how come the taxed treasury money from that, does not get spent into the city as a local treasury of sorts ?? And did the British government did not earn from those transactions and slowly paid it out and also did donations as well ???.... I find that laughable really.... And then there is also the mistresses issues as well... people having kids without thinking first... and feeling wealthy... and then caused like an incestuous city itself. There was an orphanages... Po Leung Kok.. the so called diplomats created.. only to now see the current situation of... who is being with who.... I mean.... I bet THIS has NEVER been broadcasted.. AT ALL......!!!!!

  301.  @VisulC  : British did not control as much.. they practically let the chinese do what they liked. And then, they just nudged them. Whereas the Chinese.. they don't let people do what they like. They come down with rules and policies. But the policies are often bad ones as well... Like, incest happens. Inbreeding happens. You could be with your great grand father, can happen. As in.. he is your son. And then.. there is the other weird one like... if you were in the army... as a leader... the leader.. would offer his daughter to his boss... as in.. he can sleep with her... so that she can be looked after, cos he has the civil servant pay instead. Cos the rest of the country are bankrupt. Or has no money. Women are abducted. Nobody knows their great great great grand father's graves at all.... They don't know their second cousin, from their own... mother... And that so called "one child policy" was apparently, meant to apply to the North only... near the Manchuria region whereby it was left over by the Russians... So incest happened... And Russian soldiers took those Manchurian women... And now, that area is super poor too. A lot of Hans Chinese don't choose them actually... and they can see the differences in their facial features... A lot of the Southern Chinese had heritages.. as in.. they pray to their ancestral graves.. and they also try to match make.. to avoid incest.. and to avoid inbreedings... But that is also ruined.. Ruined by the consistent trades.. bars... chaos... Nothing is anything any more. And those so called "trades" are never to protect the culture of the Southern Hans Chinese.. it is always bastardised to expand somebody else's family tree as well ? And some of those people likes and wants the money only... and to ruin a perfectly good race of people. Cos that is gone ??? Some of the locals in HK... preceded that of the PRC as well... Some people said that some of those buildings also represented the previous dynasties too.... Even when the Premier.. went to HK.. he did not even cross the border. Cos why ? He is into the Song Dynasty's territories... meaning what.. he has NO right.. to step into the turf of somebody else. It was never his ancestors' turfs !!!!

  308.  @jonathanj8303  L That is not what they are doing... and if you look carefully in that video.. do you not noticed the lower level of 3 tier houses ? THOSE are their real houses... and these building blocks? This is the equivalent of what we have in the UK, we call them "commercial buildings"... so what does that mean ? They are effectively following what was done in HK... a trade hub. So then.. this is the other way that those regions would get money dropped into their areas via the central bank etc. (Ever wondered why the Chinese stock exchanges and the market doesn't work ? Well... here we are... Cos it has turned into actual gambling machines, and not a Stock Exchange or market at all.) How could China, afford the high military spending, and the military's salaries ? And kept like, the "entire so called ccp members as "elites " and as "imperial civil servants" ???.... (And they coerce women to marry to them as well. Each one of them has MORE than one WIFE !!!!!! This is like... the opposite of the Tibetan way of life, which was one woman, and many men. If you think that they would follow the law, cos they signed a mere dotted paper for foreigners to see, then you have another thing coming.) This is why.. if you work out the figures for PRC as whole.. how do they transact ? This is precisely why... Commercial buildings, based on credit loans, and administrated by central bank... and not by the free market... (there isn't one, and even if any chinese citizen say that there is, they are misunderstanding the entire diagram !!!!!).. Cos if it was working, then the other countries would not be in debts.. and that there wouldn't be this high a military spending, at all ???.... Even if these people increases consumer spending, it is pointless... why ? Cos they don't have the salaries to spend it on. And then, so they created the thing about celebrities and buying expensive items etc... and yet, even the volume on these is not even enough ??? So then... what is to happen ? People were free to begin with... The state turned them into capitalists.. so this couple is possibly just.... doing their duty by their local governor or something.... And this is why it is filmed. And when you watch the film, then get the royalties and the money. And therefore sustain their economy for a little bit longer.... Isn't this how it works ???....

  312.  @taitslong3417  : You know... for a city.. that keep saying things like..."It is following British laws"... Well.. British laws.. say about "racism" is... "It is considered as racist, if somebody is not given an opportunity".... So therefore.. if these individuals were already given the opportunity ALREADY... and yet, their standards did not reach whatever expectation from employers... THEN.... what is the issue here ?! There is NO issue either ! You cannot employ EVERYBODY from the non-Chinese group to be into the ENTIRE company, so therefore... there can be no work for the local Cantonese either ! Can you ! For a 8 million city.. you want the entire 80 000 people to be in the police force? To be in the education sector ? To be the financier ? I am sure that, I have already seen like a non-chinese policeman already. In fact, some local cantonese and venting on Facebook and ranting already. Cos they were never given THAT opportunity.. when they were in their 20s.... And now they are in their 40s !!! They were FORCED .....to be doing lesser jobs... Cos of what was going on in HK. Imagine that. And now, 20 years on already... the entry requirement, has been dropped as well ? Before, it was a lot HIGHER... that is... the BEST OF THE BEST.... i.e. English (all As) + Cantonese (All As) + All As in A levels. + Degree = Senior leader or even team leaders. Those individuals... at that time, were chosen.. and they had to coax.. the local to accept them, cos their wages were a lot HIGHER than their own wages etc. And they had to negotiate to ask them to not violate the laws etc. It took 10-15 years !!!! (When they basically did is to ask them not to attack you non-chinese. That is what really happened ! And that was WHY trade continued ! And jobs were created ! Money came in etc !) And where did those people went to in the end ? They were forced to leave the city too. Many after 1997 had to migrate into the UK with their measley pension pots. Whilst.. you guys enjoyed everything that OTHER PEOPLE WORKED HARD FOR !!!!!!! I DO NOT KNOW WHAT OTHER KIND OF INSULTS AND TRUTHFUL WORDS COULD AND SHOULD BE SAID NOW !!!!! Those families.. their kids are probably earning pittance.. than what they could do now, in those financier jobs etc. Or to even be a fisherman...(which apparently, NOBODY is now DOING. COS EVERYBODY IS PEEVED OFF !!!)... So now it is a stalemate !!!! no food entering the city. No supply chains. People rather rely on import goods ! Tinned food ! THAT is what is going on !

  313.  @dnomyarnostaw  : You are comparing domestic mortgages with commercial building loans. They traditionally... ran in different circular ecosystem.. and doesn't impact one with the other one. When the subprime mortgage situation happened... it gotten worst... Cos the UK tried to save the US.... And the US tried to save that, cos it was those same loans coming out of China.... and China, refused to do retail banking separate with their international bankings... And this was the entire circular thing which blew up... And China, today, no longer are those same people who saved the Asian crisis... Cos now, they are traversing, kicked out the old people, who saved stabilities... and swapped with more assholes... This is all you need to know. Cos ask yourself.. how could a "poor" country... have the followings? 1) Send satelites into the skky. 2) spend so much on militaries and not on their own people. 3) Have more people without food or without shelters without disturbing their every day life with new ideas or new policies? 4) Make their own people run away from their own country, despite everything that other countries have got, is made from them ? So why are they running away from the country, to buy the same thing, which they made at home ?? Which they could buy for LESS ? This Canadian said it well.... and he made a joke about it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSzgCDIUzq0 A lot of people did not know that, a lot more people sacrificed before they did.. in order to achieve peace and stabilities... and money is always a balancing game ??? So cooperation is always needed to begin with as well.... Always.

  353. As much as these sales people want to do that.... before they sign those deals.. have they done an actual consumer check first? Can the remaining consumers actually afford them ? The answer is a good "no". And I thought that the typical CRM /market datas.. literally shows the chinese companies, how much is needed or whatever? So then... the entire data market sectors are broken cos the chinese made their own as well.. So then.. it is already over-saturated.. and nobody believes in the datas any more? Cos they are fake datas. And with fake datas.. then. who would actually find the truthful figures? They cannot !... Not any more... So... There are now a lot of EV cars, stuck in those ports, that is owned by the chinese, and the food cannot even enter into those ports, to feed the people.. and there are still a lot of people and tourists, and general individuals coming into Europe or into the West.. So.. what is the point of any thing any more? lol..... If it was not for the lockdown. Then the entire global economy... countries, would not be able to count their own people and count the chickens and put in the truth figures... So... I bet the figures are now more realistic. Really. All of this reminds me of the actual... movie "Wizard of Oz".. in the end... Dorothy found out that it was just a machine.. and that it was a lie... Well... we have met the people.. and we have seen the diplomats.. Those individuals.. are not lies.. and they are real too. So... I suppose, social media, shows you the genuine and real people. So....

  370. @Trevor : Because if you see the ultimate "Japanese" royal bloodline, they are indeed altiac... and they did have relationships with the Northern China... So at some point in time they split. At the same time... The Japanese political tier, also absorbed some of the Han's Qin huang Di's civil servant set of people. So therefore, they do have SOME "chinese" blood, if you want to call it that... today, PRC has around not just Hans chinese (austronesian, not the altiac one)... They also have some of the muslims, from Ottoman Empire, or Mughal empire (mongols)... ruling the actual country. So this is why, you would never get a "single china agreement" from them at all ? So.. if Japan wanted certain Southern China... they ARE literally entitled. Like, seriously entitled. Cos their previous governors moved there... so shouldn't that land belong to them ? Bearing in mind that, those civil servants WERE actual... "land gentries" gifted land via an Imperial system, kind. Not the kind that fought their way and won the land land.... This is why, if you look at Japan today, they absorbed, and integrated their migrant's heritage, and cultures, and civil service tier system.... They made it fair, basically. (FYI, this is exempted from those "elites" who left China and went abroad to do cultural exchanges.. those were the kids of the scholar classes, and those who wanted to over throw the eventual Qing dynasty... And yes, I think I fell into this group. Well.. some people call it this, but then again, it WAS post second world war, and Qing dynasty DID send SOME people abroad to work, and of course, for them, it is not their own Qing people.. It was the Hans race people who went abroad to work as slaves... Or so some people in HK keep referring to those work as slavery work. But didn't some YT contents now showed that, the Eight Nations helped the Qing to fight back the Boxer's Rebellion, and then in the end, they demanded the payments and bond ? So then they took the people instead.. and got them to work off those... bond. And this is how the financial system was created, cos of those people... Not because of greedy Qing, whose empress asked the chinese-muslims to fight the Hans and rebellions cos they rose and went up towards Beijing to overthrow this government ?? Did she not created a coup ? Western media and academics often call it a "coup", but in reality... there is no single China. Only the US cos they signed those financial treaties and things will always refer this to be the case.) No ?? I am still quite sore about HK...

  378.  @chazbaz4519  : You actually have a sack of potatoes in your home ? Lol..... I also have some rice in my food cupboard, but mostly, I also don't buy a large portion. Am weaning off carbs right now these days... Having watched these youtube version of uncle rogers... Hm.. I feel like I am trapped in the middle of some kind of social media war here.... I love thai rice, and I also love Japanese rice. They are actually very very different. And thai rice, if it was just harvested, you can smell a glorious smell from the grain. But I also use an extremely sophisticated rice cooker too... And this is no ordinary rice cooker... It will indeed break the rice a lot better, than an actual boil and drain. It softens the rice a lot as well, and creates that "fluffy" rice. There is something also called "sticky rice", they are a different breed of rice, which in SE Asian cuisine, you use it differently... (The sad thing now in the UK is that, very good and reputable brands, have started to use American rice.. American rice, are not the same as Italian risotto rice as well... All of these rice grains, are or could be classified as "rice", but in reality, some of these "rice", is actually should be called a grain. And not a rice. in the UK, some companies have started to sell fake rice, when really, they are selling the grains... which is protein, and not carb.) Ever since those horse burgers fake food issue.. a lot of people, might have transferred brand names.. and used different suppliers.. but in reality, they cannot distinguish one rice, from another grain. Thank God we have the food and safety standards here. You can prosecute somebody for selling you fake things.. i.e. Labelling a bag as "rice", when really, it is a bag of "grain"....

  386. We brexited as well.... and I think it is morally degrading or emotionally taxing... So hire those who have been here for a long time but from ex-commonwealth countries, who knows the law inside and out? So that they can relate, and knows what is what ? There are different immigration scenarios.... From EU, outside EU.... and our relationship to those countries. Many of these immigrants.. would not be in a grey area, if only they know what to do. e.g. That Albanian gangs.. if they want to do business, then make a business case. Register your company, don't just waltz in, and waltz out. Do it properly. Don't sell drugs. Why sell drugs? And why traffick women? Don't do stupid things. At the end of the day, they want to make money, do business. Then do business. Why be dodgy Dave ? They would not fall into such category if only 1) They did things in the legal route, and 2) Make sure that all your business filings and tax filings goes to HMRC, just like everybody else. And then all of those education.... those are wasted, cos they don't even teach these people the skills that they want. i.e. Business skills... and actual English. How to find information, and how to literally help yourself ! So many of these poncy schemes to educate them into adulthood... This is nonsense ! And then, when they are also taken advantage of..... they don't even know where to look for help. They don't contact the UK police stations for criminal offences... and so the cycle continues.... I was also reading those cases of... foreign immigrants, using their own local business rules... to apply to the UK. i.e. Take out lots of loans and credits and debts... and never repay them. Cos apparently, their own country's laws on such matters are not the same as the UK's ?? lol........ So what IS the point of working then !!!...... That is so weird.

  388.  @Cosmo1093 : Explain in details to me, what exactly is the concept of the "One China Principle" ????..... Why the Western world classify it as ethnic cleansing, is indeed because, it is an entire race. By that it means that everybody within that group are of the same either family or some form of bloodlines as well.. and the others within the region or countries are not, and are of other races etc. It comes from science to classify it as "ethnic" because when using medicine to treat certain people they are all different comparatively... so.... In Canada's situation .. yes... it is indeed ethnic minorities when it comes to the First Nation people. But however... why are the local in HK classified as "indigenous" ??... Like in a tribal sense but it isn't as so though.... Is HK now so mixed race in the sense that, there cannot be any classification at all ? And even if you do class this, is it really racially discriminating any way ? HK has to take a definition either way imho.... Cos it refuses to do this, and now then what ??? That is why it is a failed state, cos the people are not even sure what to either classify themselves as, and nor do they identify and connect to the city and its history. So basically rootless ???? This is why people fled. Cos they don't even connect to the city, and why do they, right ???? You do actually realised that, in other countries, they aren't as socially mobile or as mixed race, as people are in HK ?... Right ?... Or even in Taiwan... You DO know this, right ???....

  389.  @noellecms  : You don't know your history though, and this is half the problem too. USA used to also have a section of the "USA" to be actually part of the Spanish colony. English ships went all the way into South America, called the Spanish Armada.. and conquered a lot of land way back when. And the Southern part of USA is mostly Spanish? Where the Cantonese are now living overseas. This is why, in some states, they have stuck to their own language as well. In fact, English is the usage, but many people speak their own languages between families as well. And some areas, they do speak more of their language at the state level. So I ask you.... why should a Canton region, whose heritage...(the longest history)... is with the Yue language, with the Bai Yue people... Today, cannot speak a derived version of Yue, called the "Cantonese" ?? WHY ???? Even if some part of this language, created the understood modern day "chinese" or have merged and integrated as part of the "Hans Chinese" language.... EVEN if this has actually happened, you should NOT forget its original roots !!!! Which is YUE. THAT is the language, and you could loosely say that "Cantonese" is a "derived version of Yue" !!!!!! Some scholars in HK do not accept the idea of "Cantonese"... sure.. they could say that.. because the original name was Yue. And I can tell that, SCMP as usual.. have super uneducated individuals.. and again, blasted the usual junk as well.... There is a lot of loan words in Cantonese today that comes from the English language. There are some written old Hans Chinese that is also added to the Cantonese language today. This is why Cantonese = Yue + English Loan Words + Mixed merged Wu/Min Nam/Gan etc etc.... as written today and incorporated under its new(?)/own 9 tone system.

  398.  @kimtan1278  : You are too young to understand the situation, and its associated boundaries. UK is not interfering in China's "domestic affairs". "UK IS ACTUALLY COMMENTING NOW, ON AN INTERNATIONAL ISSUE, WHICH CHINA HAS WITH THE UK." The Sino-Joint declaration is a LIVE CONTRACT. It is activated post 1997+50 years. Who, and how, and what, and why, would China, say this is "domestic affairs" ??? Some aspect, DOES impact the declaration. You do not know which part does, and which part does not, do you ???? You are a funny and weird person. Sovereignty has signed over, but it does not mean, the entire system is transferred over. You have ZERO clue. Many contracts and business contracts, that existed, before 1997... can now be undone actually, between China and the UK. So why does China wants this Huawei contract any more ? UK does NOT have to give into this contract, cos it is not even trading as a fair system. It has NO obligation to trade... You DO know this, right ? No trade negotiation, and no contract, MEANS no TRADE. You DO know that, right ???? How can China trade, when Shenzen is built up as a secondary financial city ? The financial city in HK, was built up by the British. Is China saying that HK's financial city status is going to collapse ? If it is... Then it means that, it no longer CAN be a financial centre, AT ALL !! It would move over the border INTO the Shenzen area. And then, there might NOT be actual financial centre in HK at all... And trade outside of the mainland is going to be controlled. So, I do not understand why all of these small time businesses... or chinese business owners, still see other countries as "open". They cannot be a part of their market.

  408. Maybe I am the only one who saw this as somewhat of an issue...  My bf found this funny, and another male friend already circulated this too. I hate to be that anxious and angsy woman who rant online.  The mother should not have taken this kind of child distress and tapes it and broadcast this on the internet, without even her own child understanding the actual consequences in the far future. What if the child grows up to resent the mother for shaming and humiliating her this way ?  This is hardly funny, and it is not funny to see a child distressed to this high extent ! The mother expected the child to stop being a drama queen, but as adults, one should indeed see a crying child as something very wrong. I dislike the fact that the CNN newsreader who is also a woman, say such BS and nasty comment about the child in public. Shame on her ! The broadcaster are saying things which is hidden with expectation on a 5 year old child. Most of my female friends would find this alarming, than they would find it funny. Especially since we all want to protect children, and want to filter information which is harmful to them, until they are of a certain age to realise the reality of the world. This kind of indirect bullying socially is quite off to be honest. I do not understand why some male readers or viewers find it extremely funny without the understanding of the harm is actually happening to the child.  The mother did not even tell her a white lie to enable her to comprehend her child worldview, what kind of a mother is this person ?! It is actually not funny to watch and to see the child thinking that her brother shall die one day.... That is why she is crying so hard. A very irresponsible mother indeed.

  409.  @Homer-OJ-Simpson  : HK is supposed to be allowed to be themselves. The people who want to live in HK were maybe the relatives of the people who were Cantonese or the nearby towns anyway. So when the whole idea of the so called "opening up".. What really happened is that, the US side pleased the Beijing elites... and Xi was also around near HK at that time when Mao stated that "make people rich first". Cos frankly he had no control over the people... but for a mere 40 years.. who was achieved ? Whereas some people say that the tech sector came out of the militaries... When other countries don't use it for military purposes, inside China, it has been accumulating... and build up very quickly. If they say they are loyal, then at this point, they need to disarm.. but a lot of their people aren't doing this. The wealth of the world gave to the PLA's... the whole world, literally gave their money to China, since they joined the WTO. And yet.. they could turn 180 degree and insult the rest of the world with this kind of threats ??? Either they are appearing to be ungrateful and heartless... or just basically malicious at this point in time. They literally are going against their own constitution here... And the thing is, do they say that, they are going to be actually... fair at this point ? I doubt it very much. What really happened with HK is also that, the foreign reserves or remittances that went into HK was basically robbed and spread across the PRC... and this is why now, China is about to buy oil and do deals with Russia... And they seems to be super chummy there as well !!!! Lots of money and lot of investments etc... And HK has turned into a yuan blackhole now. With mega big gaps in its local budgets. And people being hand to mouth... Even the civil servant's own actual pension and salaries are at stake? And private commerce refuses to actually put their money forward... to make the economic cycle again. Well... Useless buildings. Poverty. Concreted farms. What other mixture can happen ?

  421. If you do not understand... Credit Union is like Building Societies in the UK. They are more or less like a mutual. Or a cooperative. They run differently. Plus, there is often a list of shareholders that sits on the board, to dictate their risk level.. or whether they are oversubscribed or not. Judging the video contents... it seems like... the rules were relaxed on the IB.. I always associate it differently in my minds. Cos it was as such in the UK. We have a smaller circular... classified as retail/domestic banking. And then we have investment/international banking. They run in two different circles. So the two should NEVER meet. But something changed.. I think it was the IB debts.. or whatever you guys had... it reached us here in the UK.. and then we had to react. This was how.. I think maybe it was deliberate... or maybe not. Only ONE bank... gave a lot of 100% loans... All the other small building soc... would not have done so. I now realised why... In the end, only one entity went down. Not the rest. So then.. the building soc.. got.. absorbed by the government, and we churned it a long time before spitting it back out into the market. My friends, even from local government, lost their jobs.. and some found jobs in the charity sector. Whereas the other one just went into early retirement and watched his pension. He's been living like that for 10 years? Most people are banking on their actual.... pension fund, but they live frugally. Not many people managed to pay into the state pension for like 40 years... It wasn't real.. and... it didn't happen. The promise of the actual....."We will lock in the triple pension pot".. is really, a way to say..."please stay with us, as long and as much as you can.. cos we NEED you"... That is just another fake promise in all honesty. I can actually realise why people go to war now. When tough is tough like this... I too would want to blast myself in a war. For us in the UK, we may or may not roll up into the EU. I think that was how things were. But the current reduction in lending in credit unions/building societies is a good move. And then you have the markets.. that is running wild from the global situations at the moment.

  424. That last part makes me want to cry.... cos he is in the cold... and I also live in the UK's higher Northern Europe area too. We're also cold too this month. - 5 C. Temperatures have dropped but we are lucky that we still have heating here. Despite Russian war. I noticed that he has beautiful blue eyes.. does that mean he is one of the few Turkic Northerners that were also left behind in China ???.... This video says it all... because.. originally when we had the Virgin Islands.. it was for overseas' trades only. And the way that it has been utilised.. I think it is definitely a case of...."things moved faster than it could have happened"... So in a way... the current situation is what.... that.... the "PRC" is following "UN and World Bank" ideals.. above its own actual economic developments? Cos... shouldn't they have an actual healthy boom and bust cycle already? And an actual indirect reversal recycling processes as well ???.... And in a way, their members of the CCP... ended up as... Maybe they should have been an actual indirect non-CEO.. as in, advisory, rather than actual ownership. Cos if the registration is under them. Then they are the direct directorship.... And maybe if there WAS an actual China Infrastructure bank.. or Asian Development Bank... then this would not have happened? That arm's length impartialities.... So.... Because there are no separation of powers... such that... These small decisions mean that, anybody, could indeed... "fall into a trap"... cos... they didn't know what had to be done. Even in an actual developing economy. And they too, would not have known... how to actually... survive..... And nor did they researched. Now I get why that Li guy who just passed away, was so much loved. Cos he studied economics.. and he did advice people to go low.. than to go high. Cos obviously, he knew that this would be on the cards etc. And even some of the actual methods of payments, like currency transfer. That was only ever a small way to reduce inequal balance.. It was never for China to make it and to grow its method as well.... Like, all of these so called "payment apps". And now ,they try to redirect back into foreign shores? That is nonsense !!!!! So then it means... I lose out like, twice or three times ? lol.... This is getting SO messy !!!! And some of those trusts in the UK. A lot of "businesses" and "transactions" never leaves the country itself. They just get reused. Again and again. And again. Redistributed in different ways. I don't even get why China is so messy. Some parts. They don't need to really need to do anything. Cos some buildings were built on the cheap already anyway. And farming.. or food.. that is free. Like, some of the autonumous region. Maybe if there was not the idea of communism. And if ROC was in power. And separated back the 5 "major big race".... within the PRC itself... And then have separation of powers... and allow, those who WERE the old Imperial families, to govern their own people, and their own courts etc. This isn't even "splitting". This is like "managing your own family".... Just like, how Europe is done, and has done things.... I don't think that, they get why some things work and others don't. (The only reason why it does not all work, is because everybody assumes that "the WORLD BANK" and the whole "CAPITALISM thing" means everything.... )

For their own benefits, and their own gains ? I found it odd that, some people will say that, "you were also a migrant once, why do you not support migrant's policies" ? WELL... I WANT TO BE SELFISH, AND KEEP MORE MONEY FOR MY OWN FUTURE GENERATIONS. IS THAT NOT ALLOWED ?!?!!?! There.. I have said it. I was arguing about another issue in the NHS about lack of doctors... So then many Africans doctors and many Filippino nurses... disputed. WELL... The system have always had been there, and it existed. So... how come people do not stay and work their way up, any way? In order to gain a higher wage? NHS is really, the only thing that was left to hold together the country, while the rest of Europe was basically destroyed. And if you really knew what is going on.. these people love their own country so much so that, they would take the hit... and be drugged... and forever be kept on the NHS feed and live within the benefits tier. THIS is what genuinely happened. These are loyalists to the core.. whenever I see such people, I cry. So yes, if Home Office is going to kick these people out of the country, then I will agree that it should be time. In all honesty. Which man, or which woman, literally degrade themselves, and mutilate their own bodies, so that you can survive, and get a wage, and be praised in the global media about it? HOW ? Why ????? Do they love you, more than you love them ?? WHY ??? Why should they love you, and allow you to mutilate them? WHY ???

  440.  @tooltalk  : If Germany is not interested in taking an entire EV car from China, then don't force them then. What is the point of them wanting EV car anyway ? Cos they don't have the infrastructures, to be honest. So it means that they have to spend money in creating charging stations first, even before EV happens... and that, right now.. With the oil situation, and Russia's supposed quotas for Europe.. has now been absorbed and diverted into China..... for use. I can say that, you are lucky that Germany is still talking to China. Cos people in Europe are P!SSED OFF !!!!! I tell you !!! They don't want to live in the cold.. and see their energy go into China... And that is why Australia withheld their coals as well.. and the rest of Europe just not received in any more goods from China any more. We stopped buying other retail items. Why ? Cos frankly, we cannot afford to do so any more ! To help yourself.. you need to help Europe. That is how you should view the situation right now. Germany might buy components, even if they cannot get the whole EV car. So how come, you guys don't design with THAT in mind instead? Like a flexible Lego kit... Sell SOME components, that is universal, and then don't force the rest of the kit with them. Whereas in the USA and the UK.... in the case of the UK... I think it was BP.. that has agreed to change some of their actual petrol station to be charging stations. And there is now an ultra green zone as well. So it means EV cars is supported by the government. This is a sweet deal, to hope to stop the Russian situation. Now, is down to China... whether they WOULD do this kind of deal and know HOW... I don't get the feeling that people know how to approach us. EV cars would help the UK a lot. IMHO. And it is also ready too anyway... But you do need to reduce your overhead costs etc. And then reduce marketing too etc. And focused on being ultra lean. That is what those EV cars comps need to do. This was also how Toyota managed to become lean and reasonable.. It is not easy.. but you have to lose, in order to win. And then they cruised for a good 8-10 years in the end I think it was.

  457.  @Music4567able  : If you really really want to know the history of that Kowloon Walled area.. This is because when the Qing dynasty ceded that area, to the British for ownership. Any other province's people.. cannot enter Canton then. So what they did was, they entered an area... that would have Chinese Imperial laws.. and then they would hide in there instead. Cos the other lands, they know that they cannot enter. This is why they go in there. And often... people will end up in there, if they already knew or had families in there too. So some of the people.. from a bystanders' viewpoints as well... When they say that it is full of "prostitution"... They better CLARIFY to see if this WAS SO THE CASE FIRST... Rather than to realises that, some of those were husband and wives possibly.. but puts up with sh!ty living conditions by moving from their own rural farming communities !!!!!! Since nobody could talk.. or nobody could speak.. or checks.. or whatever.... People just assumed that one thing go into another and into another etc. Shouldn't really praise this kind of place. Cos it ended up as a horror place... Even if some of those were genuine local Cantonese from over the borders.. of which they could enter HK. Unlike the ones that couldn't enter HK... like the Fuijian regional people.. but ended up there.. And the British allowed the "inter-provincial clan war" happens and take place !!! e.g. Hakka-Punti Clan wars... This is like the same thing now happening all over the internet. Somebody creates a website.. and then takes photos of somebody else's home.. and then sell it and takes the money. Even though the house does not belong to them. This is stealing, isn't it ? And yet.. those times and periods are not stealing ??? Pull the other one.

  460. This is not what is understood. Do you want to know what I think has happened ? Cos before the PRC joined the WTO. It was the World Bank that entered the UK... and it is the US and all the other countries that literally "took control, end helped PRC became a WTO member". And because they did this, this is why, they tried to find a way to organise themselves. At first, they had so many consultants inside the PRC... to create "tiered-cities" as that was part of a reform. So... and if you looked at the model.. They are basically a difference between "state-owned enterprises and the local provincial governments' employees. Aka "civil services" people... for different regions. So the wholesale suppliers, would make them. Then it goes to the civil service tiers. Then it goes to the employee. Then the employee resells it, to somebody else. Then that scalper resells it back to the original first shop. And not the wholesaler/manufacturer. Doing this, means that, it has been through the civil servants/provincial/tier 1/2/3.....>>>> then citizens... and then it goes back to the provincial governor again. Do you see this circular economy ? lol... And they could do thi smany many times over. And this is how they do "the economy". lol... I bet they do this, cos that is how their banking system works. Money from the central bank, then to the local provincial governor... and then it circulates round and round... within that province... Round and round. Now I get why so many products are in bad shape. Cos they don't do it for eating. They do it for circulation only ?... So... I never knew this actually. lol...

  468.  @trulyexorcise2918  : It depends on how you see things, because some celebrities, do broadcast, and then they bring in advertising revenues, and taxes into the country. And I do feel for this actual group of citizens, because they don't know how to do that, or that they are so focused on their every day lives that, frankly, they do not have room to decide or to vote? SO.... but the overall feeling is that, as we like to live in stable and luxury goods, which we do deserve, the background structure which holds everything up, is falling apart? And this is why we have to focus and keep together more, and spend our energy onto consolidating the efforts to do just that. To be honest, I feel that, if the King nationalised the country again and bring back the state, then maybe we will all survive. The journalist stated that "rolled back the state"... Well... there has been many mini riots here and there... I see this, and I recall my own history as well... Which was, moving everywhere in the country as a child, trying to sleep, and then waking up, and then going home nearer in the middle of the night, cos the take away just finished. Living a "half life". Half dying, and half living. Not seeing stability. All of this, to earn. They were such harsh times... I don't think that the state benefits kicked in then, I don't think. Or maybe it was not enough. Even if you have enough, then the food wasn't distributed or something. I can't recall the exact details.. but... I can see why, there is this big "elite and working class" divide, since yes, we have to follow the laws, but yes... if one has to work 24/7... then how come, boarding schools were not compulsory for kids to stay while their parents worked everywhere??? (As much as people associate boarding schools, as a form of "elite" education, I am not too old and not too young, to realise that, "boarding schools", were once upon a time, an actual sanctuary, for kids, to flee the city, into the rural areas to stay safe.) That was what went on, and that was what happened, and that was also how kids, with their parents working away, and that they stayed in a safe place, raised with food and shelter. I think so many people, do not want to go back to those days again... There are lots of great books.... "Goodnight Mr Tom" is one. Another one... "The Railway Children"....

  472. How is it not justified ? These students.. that is, all universities are actually publically owned? It is owned by the state. They are not private universities. It is funded by the public sector. So therefore... the gentleman was basically protesting that he has to pay around 3 times as much. I remember this.. it was that year whereby they reduced the actual 3k....into 9k per year... It turned into a 27k a year !!! I think it was just like a 1k per year... (and with maintenance to the low income kids)... into a 6 or 7k a year. Then into the 9k a year. When it was just 3k a year, people still either get a maintence grant as well as working part time to substitute into a full wage and salary, cos you still have to pay for accomodations. When it was 27k... that was unsustainable at that time unless your parents was earning a lot for this ? Many families doesn't do it then. And they stopped their actual kids from going to uni at that point. And do not forget... university lecturers also get an actual pension pot as well.... If nobody gives back to the public pot, then it doesn't work. I did some basic calc. The most that people could earn in their entire lifetime then was a mere around 250k.. for their entire 45 years of working.... If costs are kept low as well. But now... what used to be a weekly shop of around a mere 5 pound, has now turned into a 20 pound per day. Or around a whopping... 100 pound per week !!!! 20 times increase ! And this is not including the actual energy issue as well. It used to be around a mere 520 a year, into the current 1500 per year cap. In some cases it is around 2500 !!! That does not include the excesses that does not exist in your life time before. Like mobile phones per year costs didn't exists. The cost of medical prescriptions before did not exist. Transportation costs did not exist before. Not in this amount. And now every single of these items are not even locked down. Cos foreign investments kept fluctuating a lot as well ? And they did not even actually close down things either. People kept selling bad items and marketing as well.. marketing bad things... here or there. And diluting things all around too... Can a 70 million country have around a whopping 60 million company owners ? Who are all fighting for the same 70 million market ??? And expecting all of them to be earning in the millions ? Does the maths add up? It does not add up.

He must've been somebody pretty important.. but of course, you don't see that, of him and in him as well.. So many of you are already in positions of powers... so... and he has ended up living in fear abroad. Is this correct ? Trade only happens, when you handle such issues delicately as well... When he left Ghana, the globe only had 60 countries. Today, in 2024.. you have 200 countries.. And so many people, citizens across the globe are being "trapped by continually changing policies"..... There is also another citizen from China as well.. I don't like that woman, she is putting my votes at risk as well.. She came in on a visa.. but then she is testing those boundaries... of the Northern Ireland being in the UK.. and then Ireland being in the EU... and what her passport is controlling.. i.e. overlapping immigration statuses ? THIS.. woman is causing OUR policies into a mess !!! I don't like that woman. She also married a Brit as well.. so it makes it even more complicated. To me, I only consider two areas as home.. One is the UK. The other is maybe HK. That is it. Everywhere else, I class myself as a tourist. I like this gentleman, he only see the UK as his home, and then Ghana as his ancestral home. He isn't making other people's lives at risk... by indirectly forcing policies to take place, before the will of the voters. I like him. At least he is HONEST !!!!!! You guys should be proud of him to go on TV like that.

  494.  @kandisky5577  : FYI... funny story... when I was in my 20s.. I am now in my 40s... When I was in my 20s, and I back-packed across Europe as well.. and I recall that I went to Amsterdam with my girlie friends... We went to the Red Light District... and I will tell you THIS much.... We were truly freaked. The people cannot understand how come we can speak English for one, and then secondly.... they asked us if we were Japanese ? We said no. I presume that porn was a thing back then. (Until most people realises that this ISN'T a normal thing in society in general. If my parents knew of this, or realises of this, I think in those days, they will still want to protect their own child, and chase you down the road either with their shoes, or with a meat cleaver. Sad, but true.) So yes... they asked us girls who we were. Of which we said "We're from England." And they were kind of shocked. And I was ALSO shocked too. Cos I realised that they too have never ever seen another Asian looking face before ? I suppose, this is and should be natural... which it should be, really. (And I will always remember what my father said.... cos he used to be a seaman from HK, and he worked on those trading ships. He said..... : "We cannot discriminate the white people you know? Cos they also have a family too." I shall always remember those words, and what he said.) That was when HK was also a shipping port, and then you have a lot of people from different regions of the world going in and out of the ports and things like that. Maybe he too had people actually... people who helped him along his journey too. My grandfather used to keep a small store, and sold some basic items like coca cola, and instant noodles back in the 1970s, 1980s... and I would always remember the hikers that would get lost in our village, just stuck. And my grandfather would make a bowl of instant noodle with eggs for him, and a can of coke. That's what I would always remember. I think people, needs to take a step back... and remind themselves... How... life was, before the internet explosion. Well.. I cannot imagine a bowl of noodle soup... and an actual... pocket egg any more. I think people will shout in your face "cheap food" !! Well... I digress...

  516.  @RugbyMatters  : So, what is the background story to that? Is Tony stating that, they must be 1) trained before operating on people in the UK. Or that, 2) he wanted the exact and same training, so requalify by UK's standards. Or, 3) not to be trained from EU or the UK ? Which ? Cos was it not Corbyn who wanted... an NHS like that of Spain? i.e. a community-based one? Well.. it would've worked if it was from the same group of people, but I think.. and I assume... and now reading the backlogs... People do not agree that, there is no state control over the pensions. So... I guess the NHS is communal now really, as well. And then, the commonwealther-types... they are loaded, and minted, cos what they did then was to provide private contract or items.. and patent their things.. So they earn from the UK government. So what is NOT to like, eh? While Europeans fight amongst themselves... the mat is literally robbed from their very feet. Well.. otherwise, you wouldn't see the likes of Rishi now.. with his father in law's background so prominent. I don't even know what is going on here... Anyway, many EU citizens can still work in the UK. Mostly you can apply for central government jobs as well. If you feel so passionate about the migrant situation as well. It is best to work in the Home Office. And even Albanians COULD work in the Home Office too. Since they are part of the EUs. So how come the educated uni types, don't DO that? Cos only that can draw some level of equality... I was so surprised to find that, since brexit.. we now have an Embassy in the EU... This is so odd. Sigh.

HK can look after itself.. it always does, and will. What will be, will be. If I cannot even get a goddamn bowl of rice for 20 dollars in HK. Frankly, nobody cares. People have lost it... totally.... Because people mentioned about the point that, their railway shape and line is inter-twined back onto itself, and then it goes through several areas and districts. This is what it is like in London's format as well. The underground station.. yes, you could say that it is a HK design, or you could say that it is a London design. Cos when you see the maps, it is like for like. Now... if only HK MTR patented this design, and then IP'd it.. and charges these other actual cities that uses it, and it ends up as a profit level... IN an actual very democratic world, then yes.. this is what usually happens.. but in a "communal wealth" society. This is not likely to be as such. Either MTR owns the same design and patents... or... What should really happen is, when the rental period or time is over. Those should actually be owned by HK. i.e. legal services. Of other sector than just shipping. If this is to sustain the HK dollars etc.... Well.. in an ideal world. There can be a service sector still for HK. The gap in currency differences etc. FYI... the MTR "company" did not even used to be an actual company. It was owned by the public purse. HK Government directly. It wa part of the government, and not an actual company itself. This is the ultimate difference. It was spun off... and then listed.

  528. You can blame these people for twisting these rules. To borrow money from your relatives is fine, only if they have the money, and they should indeed formalise this as well. Or to have it in writing, as that they are a guarantor or something like that as well. And in black and white, how it is to be paid off. Tying a person to a city, is trying to build up that city. Just like in HK. Once it is full. There should be nobody else, allowed to move into that city or area. If you lose a job, you are supposed to find the same job, in your own hometowns !!! You cannot, or is not allowed to move to another city, so easily !! I have only ever lived in HK and in the UK. And I was born in the UK. It took my family, at least a good 1-2 generation to find the money, to build our own house. And it took my family, at least a good.... generation to keep and to sustain the economy as well. My mother was not educated. She was not even allowed to go to school back then. Her children had standard education and it was free, up to 16. And then for me, I was lucky that I got a free uni education in the UK. But I worked hard. I pay and I rent, and I pay back, and save save save. People save and put it back into the banks. And then banks lend it back to the business world. This is how it is supposed to go. Between what is happening in China, and then in the US. The combined efforts of you guys are definitely screwing up the rest of the world !!!!! Please stop !!! A lot of locals even here are like you guys.. They just now, suddenly, realised that there is a demand for houses... They now, take things back into control and do up the old houses. Cos they see others also doing the same as well. This kind of "fighting effect" is often the way, isn't it ??? Cos people do not want to miss out. But then, back in the days.... when the local government takes care of many areas as well.... Just...

If you look at the population of the white people, actually, they are globally, in the minority. If you do not know this already... What IS happening today.. if you do not know medicine, and history.. is that... The "modern society and world today".. is relatively new. The old old world, are indeed still very much third world country, and has no access to the TV and therefore do not know about the UN, IMF, World Bank etc ? They are hidden in tribes, and remote location. Did you know what China did ?? PRC also did the WORST thing on earth... They "integrated"... the long long long and old tribes.. and they forced those women, to marry a modern man. Have you NOT known.... the actual .... differences when you see the actual DNA and its "feng shui" of the people ??? When the Queen passed away... did you know what she did before she passed? She signed into law, and passed the gene editing law. Ok. Into the future.. do you think that abortions and civilisation... will actually BE on top of these so called "slaves" minds ??? Would they, like my mother's generation did. To abort, if you cannot afford a child? Or would you, want to let your other generation suffer? Which???? Many civilisations are pretty much protected these days as well. Like Latin America is pretty much protected as well. Same with those tribes in India. The bad thing now is that China integrated those tribes into their so called "urban land".... Which is WRONG. They have nothing better to do, so they did the worst thing.

  559. A lot of the people were educated in the UK, and then when they couldn't get a position, or that the universities did not timed it with the entire country's workforces and calculated that figure.. many actually left? So... This is why it seems like it is very upsidedown ? And even before that, a lot of medics left the UK's NHS.. and worked in research as well. So... and now, this is going back ROUND the discussion... which is kind of pointless in a way. Cos many doctors are now retiring... and has a large level of skilled gap... cos why? Both the research sectors collaboration with the NHS raised the actual contents and delivery, to be much higher than compared to the educational sector COULD obtain... so then, you're left with a skilled gap, even the education sector cannot deliver. The end. (By right... those in the research sectors should've been lecturers.. but then, it became too commercial, to be released. So therefore, what are you left with here ??? In the past, the research areas, would've enabled, or allowed both private and commercial to exist ??? As in... collaboration between commercial and public should happen, like it did before... and incubate smaller businesses... and small clusters of specialists.) For the UK... it is the increasing overseas' student demands, which is kind of also screwing up the statistics a little bit as well.. Cos so many who are indeed educated in the UK... does not even comply to raise their own standards back home either... So.. It goes both ways. This is why.. there is now a big negligent gap here. (And of course, time waits for nobody... because... people's needs change, as their own health and human condition changes. So then there is also the statistical gap too.... )

"This is how it is". So, those roo drivers dominate abs we are holding up the stock market. Fantastic. My city now has most if the white people left. Influx if Chinese students are high. I cannot see a white face at all ? Either they are hiding at home or they are avoiding the city centres. A lot of refugees are placed here. In hotels. And that hotel is owned by the Scandinavian chain. Radisson? My workplace hires a lot of illegal immigrants...abs they assume that cos these tech companies or media companies can provide them actual "globalism"... They assume that they are working with foreign companies, so therefore what they do is flatline the org structures. I am sure that there is a loophole here. One visa expired immigrant bit me. My manager stated that they are joking. Yet, they are a part of a hidden group in Facebook. Hiding and doing their rounds. With an actual MP... Endorsing their very actions... I don't even flipping know how the heck that they don't get what they don't get. We know who are the illegal immigrants here. Yet the police don't catch them out. I'm still paying my taxes. They don't even pay taxes !! So.. if I am giving info for investigative journalist to use.. and yet, they don't even use it. What does that say about the media sector here too ? So code of conduct just allowed you to cause further issues to a society ?

  575. This is so so so soooo bad. It is like, that case which is currently being highlighted. Like, they want to automate and to technologically create an "perfect" account. But what if some of those accounts were paid off, and then when it came to reconciliation it didn't or wasn't created? This is what a lot of accountants are to do. And what clerks do. And their point about "it should have been done years ago"... Er.. depending on which year, and where... Cos people are now using tech, to "retro-spective grab".. Which is not even legal ?... Cos I had one woman calling me randomly about licensing rights. And the fact that her organisation did not existed, and the item/product was bought BEFORE the creation of the sectors as it is now. So... how is that possible? You are grabbing into a nonsensical situation. A fabricated situation ?... So.... The same with those businesses as well, that is collapsing. So they have collapsed. Then the stock are still worth something. Why are they suddenly considered as "wastes" ? Why doesn't China have liquidators? So sell off those stocks back to some kin dof banks then. But this isn't done though... China doesn't differentiate it seems, between what is a company, and what is a personal wealth. Or even personal taxes. They are two different things ! Also, you cannot have wealth family businesses, if indeed... well.... How could you have worked all your life, and not to have anything returned? China does not own the world though. And this is a BIG issue.. that ought to be discussed globally. Cos they are indirectly forcing the world to collapse with them !!!!! This action alone is making those bonds useless !!! And the stock market ... pointless !....

  596. You know when people say that there is "only one china"... They aren't very inclusive and nice nice.. cos inside is an old Imperial system... that they want to work with... as well as keeping an actual financial system like the USA's... and this is why it fell flat on its face. Cos you cannot have both this way. What they should've done is kept those regions which had always been about import/export just as that.. and not to let any other internal deals... to be using this kind of model at all. It is weird... for "other countries to give china money, chinese developers money"... Cos then.. it makes the USA acting like a "tributary state of the PRC".... lol.... Why ? In the past... the relationship was built on... "remittances from chinese dispora going back home".... That is why people inside the PRC could get money. So when they either died, or went back home. Who would remit ? Nobody ! lol.... (And in actual fact, some people tried... and then, they are very rudely marginalised. Oversea's chinese that bought chinese sh!ts.... often get criticised a LOT. I wonder if they ever ever knew that at all ?) Talk about being ungrateful. A stupid phone.. costing 300 pounds, could end up as around 500k RMB.... RMB and yuan are not even the same currencies !!!! This is their own internal issues, cos frankly.. if foreigners see the "single country" as a place with "two currencies"... Then they would begin to get why things are not working. And the disputes are also precisely that too.... It's a sad life.. to buy their goods... remit... raise their families.. and their next generation... only to be called "racists" online... or to be called..."don't be petty".... (That is even worst, cos I have never met them in my life !).... Who are these people ?....

  630. He does not know... what he is talking about.... 1) When before 1997... HK had separation of powers. Whether he realises this format or not. Even though there was an actual senior elite running the country. 2) Slowly post 1997.... Jimmie Lai's... newspaper was meant to be a supplementary handholding option.... cos the creation of the political structure was all up in the air.. and then...the residual one was not even strong.. 3) So does HK want to transact foreign currencies or not? Yes or not ? You cannot have one way.. and be rude to your potential team mates !!!! In fact.. Mr Li... potentially giving up your own money... to work with foreign money is supposed to be on the cards ! And why does everybody compares HK with Macau ? Does he also know that, Portugese laws.. are different to that of British laws ? Britain had separation of powers. And it has the financial centres. If you want HK to have any foreign money flow through it.. then surely you need to follow some of their actual laws and framework as well? Using somebody else's money.. and claim it as your own... Is this not.. Is this not stealing ???? And the notions that... there were not chinese workers who went to California... to dig for gold? Did their bloods not bleed? So you think that, using the current "PRC"..... should be the same concept as "china" the country ? I don't think that you mean the "chinese identity"... you mean the "PRC new loyalty scheme".... Or to the Western view... "it is the communistic model"... The "new communist identity"... Cos the funny thing which this stupid pratt does not seem to accept or to think is that... Doesn't he think that, some of the gold from the USA... belongs to Canton ??? So he wants to get rid of this help and get rid of these notion?

  631. This makes me cry so much. They are kids, under 18 years old, so that they know that their sentencing would be different to that of an adult... It has to have them do this... in order for others to take note.. And the protesting now... is also removed.. and even governments and the civil servants do not even use the proper and appropiate ways to deal with this. Like, when there is a protest... or a petition.. they would not actually use the formal and actual UK Government's online petition. They would literally just use an actual... US random independent petition form. Which has nothing to do with the UK government at all. So our voices do not get heard. Decisions do not change. Why ? Why has globalism.. reached the point that, we were not told about this.. and why is there is no actual justices??? These kids are a lot braver.. than most... and to argue and say that..."well... there is wealth across the globe"... Yes... and those wealthy people now comes back into the UK, and often 1) Assault the kids and their parents who held the pound to be so strong. Which enabled their country to be rich. 2) Insult verbally... those who have literally held tight, spent up... and literally did work, all for their own shareholders' values without even actually . 3) Call them ALL sorts of NAMES.. in DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.,... and humiliate them into silence. Even as an ethnic minority, I have seen this with my VERY eyes... When I look back now... all of this talk of..."but it is cheaper if I moved this factory to this location"... Actually... it is not cheaper... it is more costly. Cos you are basically raising one country into population growth.. and killing off other countries and their growth too. (If there are no more Brits buying your goods, then where do you find your sales from?) We now have an Indian Prime Minister.... we have racial laws in society. For job opportunities yet... It is now TIME.. to reverse that.. and to bring in actual "Indigenous Laws"... Meaning that... IF you are not white English, Irish, or European... then you CANNOT... work in the top footsie companies. THAT should not BE law. I want to see change. I want that change to happen. If there are shareholders, then let them own a "SHARE" only !!!!!!! Every country in the globe is connected to shares and things. So why should people NOT stay in their own countries and hold a share ??? Sorry... but .. laizze-faire isn't working out is it ?! Uncontrollable finances. And no amount of regulation ANYWHERE is making ANY difference any more. I also want to see actual cut down, and reduction of any access of overseas citizens, businesses, doing virtual businesses without the consents of the government. This has TO stop. All those items doing their monitoring day in day out, NEEDS to GO !!!!!! CCTV cameras is meant to be catching UK thieves, and yet, so many of such cameras are also used by foreign terrorists to control... and to terrorise people as well... from SO many countries !!!! Stealing those movies, stealing those films... sending in somebody to do bad deeds.. ruining businesses... and the cases go on and on and on !!!!!! This HAS to stop !!!!!!

I did see it before.. and wasn't sure... at all.... So... I did tried before to get a similar role, abit.. outside of the accountancy area, and the lady said explicitly... "mo lay fun"... (there is no room for you)... she said. lol.... That was enough for me. I doubt that even if I did fill in my actual form.. that I would be put forward any way? So.... I know my place. Since the NSL, a few family friends have also been rejected or asked to leave... So... I don't get what is happening at all ? So.... Plus, many of us who are middle-aged, just want an easy life. Cos we don't want to deal with the junks any more.. and there is chat on the streets that... the government prefers or want new grads to enter the market. So.... there is that too. I don't think I can and want to handle the antagonisms.... I dunno.. It is way too stressful. Imagine.I cannot even get past the recruitment agency, what chances would I get, even if I am experienced? And I have seen actual barebone graduates, that has merely a few years' experiences... entering straight into top level managerial positions.. despite... Well... anyway, it's too... never mind. Cos... we know that the world has gone weird... So... The Enron's financial issues have never been finished and dealt with... either. So.... I don't know if I am doing the right thing, to help it secure itself this way... Cos.. some of the financial sectors.. were not.. .erm.... Complicated.

  643. It is even more shocking that, we don't actually have the knowledgeable people, OR the skillful financiers.. that pulls the strings back, and stop, or force the takeover of British mutuals.. or British pension pots.. by foreign companies.. which is what bankrupted half the country to begin with. It is still actually illegal, to employ a British citizen, without providing them an actual pension pot? Those so called "gig economy drivers" is one of those people. Uber has an actual company in the UK. Or in Ireland... they are obligated to provide a pension pot for their employees in the UK as well. So how can they get away with this triangulation situation? In fact.. people now, should NOT be able to use Uber at all in the UK? It is also weird that... the taxi drivers... do not even actually steps up and protests, cos they are liable for the insurances, and yet, their licenses should technically NOT allow them to deliver hot food as well? That itself is illegal as well ? This is whereby, again... the skillset of the people in this sector, is somewhere narrow.. and they are not aware of their own position. Cos we have now brexited. Use local courier firms. Cos the laws states clearly that.... No physical business unit, or office, then no deal. No employment contract. It is a fallacy that, the so called IR35 can allow them to ride this wave forever... And same with those gambling firms... and those media contractors.. and those games developers contractors turned... financier... Maybe it is time for the UK government to legalise what is "money". Cos all of this so called "fin tech" that has ZERO money.. is NOT money.... And Maybe the UK government, NEEDS to force these advertisers to realise this aspect as well. And as usual.. our media sector is not even caught onto this loophole at all.

  649.  @freemanol : To be honest, I find this entire conversation extremely vulgar, AND insulting as well ???? Like, very insulting. And very vulgar. "I worked my arse off by working part time as a programmer while taking my degree, while a lot of british kids don't go to university despite having access to generous student loans and bursaries." I think you will find that Britain is what it is today, cos the people fought for it. They fought very hard for this as well. You worked your arse off ? Lots of kids in the UK worked their arse off too. Doing milk rounds, newspaper rounds as a child. Riding a bike throwing newspapers to each door way. (Those were the period of times whereby the snow would come up to your knees.) And then paying maintenance to their own parents as a way to keep themselves afloat as a family. That is, not everybody could and was claiming benefits. Cos why? Not all areas were available actually. And the tax offerings, that was introduced slowly as well... and if it wasn't for HK being a British Commonwealth country... and that my father also was looked after by the state. I think he must've worked for some kind of state company for that period of time. And so did my grandad.. IF it was not for this group of people as well.... SG, or the likes of SG would not have risen either. The other YT video by CNA Insider just made my blood boil to its extreme. While they grabbed their share of power... others had to pool back together their profits to earn a piece of the government and the stabilities back. The welfare state was to circumvent the external global power grab against the pound. Judging some of the online YT videos, it is the subsequent financial crashes that really made things worst off. I don't know anybody in my peer group in my generation.. that did not worked and did odd jobs as well for small pocket money or for cash. In order to save and populated the national banks like Nat West. When I read what is stated today.... I am appalled. Many kids were taught at a local community college and I was told that, even then... their syllabuses was quite high. I have seen them, and they did work. I am also amazed at some of the books which I used for computing A level was so comprehensively written too. From basics. I now see so much junk books out there as well.. and publish for publishing sake, which we know. Lots of people also worked odd jobs too during their summer months around uni days. I worked for families, in take aways, whilst my friend worked on the farms. Those days of whereby the farmers or somebody would broker a transport to take people to do that. And her mom was a full time nurse too. Her dad also worked in a take away too. Everybody worked... so I don't get why these kind of insulting comments today in 2023... And London didn't always had the exchanges and the size that it did. Liverpool had a stock exchange before, and regional stock exchanges were also the norm too.

  671. These are actually risk takers... I don't work in this sector, but I do help.. or did help make systems that deals with their calculations and things. And manufacturing costs down to distribution costs and things. You CAN argue that... yes... on a super personal level, you CAN be super jealous of these people as well. OR.. you can see it from the other side of the fence as well. Which is that, these are genuine risk takers too. Cos if their economy collapses, then it goes... This is why... Yes, the US government it putting them first and kick starting trade again... and distribution... Cos it kick starts the supply chain again. But it is in their own interests, to also keep the trade going.. for as long as they could... And yes, talent pipeline is actually extremely tough. Cos anybody who does not have parents in such sectors to step into such sectors.. and to be forefront to know and deal with ANY risks that comes their way or to find strategies... to know how to prevent an actual worst situation from festering... It is a super 24/7 job. FYI... even Toyota has reduced and gone down as well..... They pioneered TQM.. and it went down... I think with the social media as well.. things can speed up super quickly... too. And it can indeed also die out quickly as well. This is the disruptedness of being too connected. But the internet is being divided up now anyway... Cos you just cannot see so much and not run in the race, I suppose. I mean, I am sitting here, typing.. and on my desk is a single vitamin pill box. That was made in the UK but via an American company... I know that... this is just... It is indeed amazing how much we have moved from.

  676.  @gamevalor  : When many people call themselves "Hans" or the "Yellow river people", they mean that they are the literal and actual descendent of a specific set of people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpC1P6me5Ko&t=302s Just like, in the UK, people call themselves English, or Scottish.. it is because they know EXACTLY... every single generation, if not, then they know the rough estimate.. and things like that. The only reason why so many people do not know their own heritages IS because of the past wars.. But most people DO know it, and in fact, this century, they try to reconnect back as well. Why do you think that there are so many ancestries databases, and even a lot of post war period... so many countries accept and do not accept certain people back to their own family trees? (I think you are confused about the genuine "democracies".. like in the UK, whereby.. some of the ethnic minorities that look like they are indeed ethnic minorities.. but in fact, their literal family tree can be traced back to a King or a Queen of the UK.. or Europe.... ) What science says is not the same as what a group or a country decides. That North and South Hans thing was indeed quite regular... That of course is possibly due to the way that the region was governed then. i.e. WHOSE land belongs to WHO. That is why, since all lands were designated.. why should it be ruined by random people coming and going ?? Communism ruined things... basically... If your ancestor as gifted the land and you have farmed those lands and built on it, then it is your family ancestral land. It does not change. The government is only an administrative party. It still belongs to you. So sometimes when I see people say random things. They need to trace back the history... cos it does not stand. I got it. I found out why there was a "Northern Hans" DNA and a "Southern Hans" DNA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_and_Southern_dynasties Around 400-600 AD, the entire region was split up.

  685. China has a retiring age of around 50 years old. I think this is definitely for SOEs.. am not sure if this is for private sector. I don't think this applies to the private sector. But definitely for SOEs. This is why, some people then try to open their own private little business to run from their 50-70 or whatever... No wonder so many people leaves China to continue to work abroad as well. Which earns them even more ! lol..... This is so weird. But then again.. we are talking about relativeness as well. Cos we may pay 1000 pound for an apple, but they only pay 1 yuan for an apple etc. In fact, some of the rural citizens actually can grow their own food, is my understanding. But somehow, the recent lockdown situation saw some rural residences had their own secret stash kind of trashed. Cos they must not be spending their own money. So this is like a chicken and egg scenario... Which is absolutely crazy.... No wonder they rely on tourisms etc. So that... those incomes to that region can boost that region's GDP and therefore their budgets etc. (This has been what HK citizens used to do... and indirectly raised their own GDPs.. until it can't... or the system kind of collapsed. This is why then the whole entire system fell apart, cos some of the mayors/ccp whatever..must have been holding onto those money, and thus causing bank runs. lol.... Now I get what has been happening. Cos then it must have kept running. lol.... And then they joined WTO etc... And bring in external influences which then checks their balances, which doesn't work out. I bet. ) Cos now, if china goes down, the entire world goes down.... OMG.

  689.  @opinionnotfactok  : I don't think many has.. in all honesty... In my age group.. and my peer group... I have a lot of university educated people as well... And they themselves are far more educated than the current set of people as well. Some also did PPEs and their parents also paid for them as well. The thing with Rishi is that he was abroad.. and he came back to the UK to become a politician... While some better PPE candidates, they cannot get a foot in the politics.. and then you had those ass wipes.. from abroad.. in other so called Commonwealth countries, being asses... and selling exploded prices of goods to the UK.... And those universities people literally ARE holding the forte.... Some are earning really little in London. Or back in the North. Some literally lived off their savings from the sale of their house like 20 years ago.... as the inequality deepens. I now see weird people from Singapore, or from Malaysia who goes On and ON and ON about their wealths. Their wealths to flip used goods. Resold goods. Like again and again and again.. THAT is how THOSE people made it rich. And not just relied on these patents.. business deals.. lawyers to fight deals... That is also gone too. I mean.... We have a big mess in our hands ! This is why now the banks are counting.. and some banks collapsed.. and when a bank is collapsed, you can see why can't you? "Why did this figure just grew out of control despite it is not the BOE doing the work here?".... Even the likes of Yukon Huang... from the World Bank.. HE came out to say.."there is a shadow economy"... HA. "Shadow" ? Meaning that, people are exchanging and people who is not qualified for a bank found their own ways to do businesses.. This is the fault of the PRC government for being greedy. Consolidating powers.. without educating the people. Rolling out high techs... without educating the people. Wanting the people's powers.. without the acumen to govern.... PRC should NOT have joined WTO. For me.. I want the NHS to have euthanasia on the cards... If they do not want to decouple the UK away from the techs.. or the sensors economies.. Then we need to have that on the NHS. Enough.

Having said that, it is the black kids who would be more marginalised in the US. So therefore, there should be a higher push for them to get involved, a lot more. The weird thing which happens is, the black kids, should support the right wing Trump, instead of the average white man supporting Trump. Cos it is Biden and Obama, who has betrayed the country in many ways... (Which of course, these kids won't know that.) The point of an education is to boost the overall productivity and standard of life for the country itself. So this is the point... For China, it is now obvious that, some people would not do their own due diligence.. so therefore, the policies have to be in place. Cos right now, the entire country has migrated and shifted to the East side ! Cramping, fighting for resources, fighting for schools. It goes on. And then you have the bad quality buildings and the bad quality engineering to bridges, buildings in the West side of the country. The point to promote the poor kids, is to hope that these poor kids will turn around their own hometown, and build BETTER bridges, and BETTER infrastructures... But yet, some people would still feel jealous of this. I mean... this is whereby most countries would say "Enough ! We need to split into smaller groups, so that there is less fighting !".... Yet, the country has not done that at all. Even though there are meant to be more provincial tier governing.. I am not sure it is strict enough.

  720. What it means ? It means that, UK citizens themselves, literally BOYCOTT those products, and those actual businesses as well. Just break it up. And then... look towards outside of the country, into various other commonwealth places. The problem comes, when you have around a whopping 69 million people. Or a whopping 300 million people, who all wants to be businessmen. And that company, that stated "we get our products manufactured from Thailand". Well..... for those of us ethnic minorities.. we don't buy certain products, cos of price range, and quality. There is no market for certain items. And they themselves are too late in the game as well? Often, whether they like it or not, to win a game, is to eliminate a market, so that you can enter. If I was in her shoes, then I would definitely try and sell either on Ebay.. or to also do business with the likes of Moonpigs. At the end of the day, these people, they were raised, cos somebody gave THEM a chance. When I was a child, what did I buy? I bought those stupid Italian stickers. And now.. where is that family gone to???.... They have grown up, known. And... and you assume that we don't know who you are, and where you are? Why did the USA have an actual resell market at this moment in time ? And why IS Japan.. literally, resending and refreighting goods from themselves ??? ESG has to be the ONLY way. If there is to be a British Hallmarks or whatever again. Then just do it. When the argument was whether it was for soveignty or for a republic, I had no idea what they meant by that... Cos.. is there to be an actual European soveignty/monarchy model? Now I get why France is still winning that actual cosmetics and that perfume sector. When Boot was literally broken apart, and then left with weird and odd actual products. And even the products that I see today, is not the same any more. Whether this is registration or regulation, or whatever. Now I am seeing those being moved across into China to be produced as well. No wonder people took to Body Shop. Soveignty ? Soveignty of lies. Well.. Germany is also already have a "back up supply-chain", cos they frankly don't care. Aren't they invested into China a long time ago? Even have an actual Business Unit as back up too. There should have been many a court battle.. really from the UK side.. to force Germany to let go from their other investments. And if ESG is SUPPOSED to be the way forward. And then there is Germany who held onto the oil, and caused US great harm.

  734. I think that this video just shows us the differences in culture really..... For the West, US, UK, EU, we talk politics socially. More like..."what is happening, and do I need to change school. Do I need to change my mortgage, what do you suppose is going to happen to the interest rates ? Is there going to be more privatisation ? Is inflation going to go up ?" ... We call this the "Free Thinker" philosophy. And then there is the other opposite, the Eastern culture. Which is a lot more about responding to the person whom you need to focus on, and their relationship towards you. And trying to assess if their relationship, and position and role in society, in relation to yours. i.e. Daughter - Father.... Teacher - Student.... Elders-Youngsters. They always use something along the lines of..."I am not worthy"... to raise the profile of the opposite person..... So if you are the younger person, pretend not to know, even if you understood something, still pretend not to know. Or, if you are an elder person, always pretend to preach or to know more... And the younger person always pretend to find it curious and fascinating. Noticed how the teacher downplayed his own students ? In a way to herd his group, to focus on the walking, and not to play and be offensive. That was a signal to his student to tow the line... (Cos this must be a school trip.) In the UK, we have this too, to mind one's Ps and Qs... but there is a phrase, "time, manner, and place"... There is always a time and a place to say things I suppose.

Not mixed race. Not from colonial days. Some had been actual part of the imperial emperor's remits. This is the difference. The problem with Singaporeans and with some Malaysians is that, they assume that, these people should have no rights at all ? Cos many just "want to earn as much money as I could". But frankly... money is just a tool. Don't make others suffer for you. Even in the UK and in Europe.. the Royal families are not destroyed. Work, is a means to keep people sane, and to keep them from killing each other. So why should HK suffer... at the cost of what..."rentier capitalism" ? So an item is made.. and it gets shipped around the globe, using precious petrol.. for what purpose? It is used and reused and it is resold again as well. Why ?? Singapore and Malaysia love the CCP party. But the thing is.. HK existed even before the formation of the ccp party. And their powers is NEVER meant to be THIS powerful. Either the Western media and the Western world has mistaken their roles in the world.. and how other countries operate. But an advisory party, should not be accepted as the entity IN power !!! And it is often funny when people said that... especially those from SG etc... "There never was voting rights. Cos you had a governor." Er.... maybe cos they were coolies. And that is why they were not counted as the local citizens. When Britain took over HK. ALL the people that were not migrants. Were counted, and their lives were documented and they were registered. This is why he has no record or contingencies and understanding of how the actual HK Government came about.. and how it became what it is.. and who those individual people that sits in those civil service tiers came from. WHO they were and WHY they were etc. UK was fair... they only took what was expected to be needed and was part of the trade deal. And nothing more. So for us to see today.. SE Asian countries.. actually making life as if the people had no say ? I find that ludicrous.... Those people became the actual city's "administrators". Meaning that, they hold no powers. Power means, they do not have the right to destroy somebody else. "But you are not a finance person !" ------ lol.... Which person has not worked in finance, and which person has not worked in the navy, and which person could not speak English ? And which person needs to kowtow to the kids today ????? Did they really think that we are "uneducated farmers" from the fields ??? THIS was the classic "fisherman's sons" from the 1970s. (THIS is a good example of the "farmers" who now works in the Legco etc.) And why do you see some people cussing ? They know who is who, and who to cuss and who not to cuss. You wouldn't cuss your own family, would you ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAvM9POTsY&list=PLK7qCnafFFJbWojxFTmN7kmE1RJBD6JbJ&index=61&t=525s And this was... Britain back in the days.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLbPYQcUcgM&list=PLK7qCnafFFJYQEnNVBJTOrlvc3v7i47wc&index=22&t=696s The world war promise was merely about..."rebuild after the war" and then called quits. Nobody said NOR agreed that. It would go on forever. What is this "net zero" business all about then ??? Somebody stated it VERY funnily...... that... people are moving goods across the world for very pointless things. Very pointless reasons.

  756. First of all... Blackpool has such a big dance presence.. They should have a local dance school. Or one that can have overseas' Olympic standard participants can use their facilities. That is for one. Then maybe also have a Cadbury's style... model to hold down some groups of local communities to hold the forte. Create a sustainable energy source. Being so close to the sea.. There should be a regular fishing trade as well. People go to the other East coast is both because of the fishing trade.. as well as the beach. But Blackpool could have both the sports aspect, as well as the maybe some central department or other like Dept of Transport or something. Since it has so many transport up there. Along with a local sustainable Cadbury's model.. and take it from there. Hotels can be slowly built back up as well. Because so many amusement parks have been opened in different areas in more inland areas... And that they run a strong tourism area as well. Blackpool has strong competitors.... This is why, it needs to be revised to be brought back into a working class town. Something of a commerce to exist in Blackpool... and then to have the actual hotel or tourism as a side business. Because it is near the coast, it should make the most of the coastal areas. Maybe some kind of marine R&D centres can exist there ? Some other Eastern coastal side also have large seaside zoo as well. With large real life animals etc. Maybe there ought to be an office for Green Peace.. or whatever international research base, that could stay there. Since it is exposed to the sea as well...

  757. The best way is to see Switzerland as a model to follow. Because.. it is in a quite wintry place... and often dark... and in those dark days, you need light buildings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIWkLL9RT7c - Noticed all the outside is white ??? And then a lot of glass. Well insulated. Warm. Just a single building can uplift. Then town planning can happen after.... Imagine that the Tower can be used for the BBC shows. And then a dance academy to be there. Or some kind of Royal Ballet... split say from Manchester to have a sub-unit or location. And then, have practising places.... Then build on top of businesses.... At least have good internet, so those who want a "work from home" can happen. So those who wants to mouse-hole from London, or wherever, then they can ? And if they want to get into Europe... or London, then a nearby flight is possible ? Better than even a train ! But those in the know... of Swiss Hotelier.... Their standards are super high. Really high.. that... it even trumps Dubai. So people have to be weary of this level of hotel experiences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSsi4kqmcFI - Of course, when it comes to Christmas.. people would always think of the further Northern European countries. But I do not see why it cannot be Blackpool as well. Dark and cosy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJJtIxuDr9s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwkAdrffnYE - Even though Blackpool is not well known for spas or springs. But there is nothing to say that, because it is near the coast... That it cannot be a part of an actual water/steam energy sustainable source.. that feeds into the building of a hotel, say..... I mean, the Dutch tamed the marshes... Britain could tame the heating..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ-KLYgYtRQ - Definitely need another level of professionalism to raise its game for Blackpool I think.

  771.  @guitarpro3815  : No... this is not a "take over". A take over is absolute ownership. What you described, is actually a "joint venture". And many Western companies know that, these kind of legal "joint-ventures" is not good for the West or the EU. Cos they have been there, done that, before? i.e. Some US or EU companies tried before, but it was shot down by the chinese courts. This is why they are forced to do a "joint-venture" model. This is a WELL known thing. You did not know that, many Western companies already tried in the 1980s and the 1990s ??? What these joint-ventures are doing, is maybe try to balance their currency, nothing more. I have seen and watched a few of the videos... about state-subsidised cars. I can now see that, there is too big of an issue for China. But I guess people will figure it out one day how to make it circulate. In Europe.. and in the EU, most countries are TINY... they have already got everything that they need. Most people already like like 4- 5 items of the SAME thing !! So why would EU need more from China? the previous items WERE From china too ! You've already sold it to us ! What Europe has not figured out is recycling.. They have already destroyed their old clothes already.. and ready to remade into something new. So I don't get why they would want more items to be shipped here... lol... We have factories full of goods already. Also, many many many warehouses from previous stocks that were shipped. So why do you think that we are now in a lockdown ???.... No more shipping goods. Do they want to buy those ports, so that they can charge those goods to stay on there and increase their own wealth? If this is about economics.. Then maybe it is time that Germany also pulled out then with China... That is what you are implying, aren't you ???

  789.  @RadiantStar8997  : Ignore him... the UK's education board has already moved uni level details and level.. into A level region already... So yes.. even if a person cannot have the money to go to universities.. at least they are not missing out. So I don't get what he is on about. And there are more "adult learning" anyway.. which is to bridge the gaps... and anybody who wants to top up.. then they can. But most companies don't need that any more anyway, cos it has been disintegrated and moved to the EU already... So I don't know what they are on about. And it is also not easy to get a job in the UK any more either.. cos some of these recruitment agencies tend to play mind games... and price war games ? So even if you are qualified.. and meets the requirements, because of failure to negotiate the pricings.. It can lose you an opportunity. And then you can never be hired again by that company unless you are actually.. going through that same agency. By law. There are so many systemic issues that the other Indian posters here, are unaware of. So if other countries don't have such strict employment laws.. Then this is different, isn't it ? So I don't get what he means by "lazy"..... If you can even jump through the hoop.. and into the doorway, consider yourself lucky !!!! So many really bad employment agents that doesn't follow the UK employment laws either... Never mind the different ones in Europe... And of course, when that happens.. the European Commission is going to say another sanctimonious word like..."but many of you guys are not educated enough"... Really ? Nobody deserves this kind of manipulation and mind games.

  790.  @RadiantStar8997  : I've only done one computer assessment in recent years... within the last 5-8 years or so. Previously.. what I stated above still stands. And yes, companies will compete with one another, and that is just the way it goes... So playing by the game.. doing odd jobs.. and keeping your head above the water.. and juggling everything. This is not easy. And the rental prices in the UK is not like in Germany either. They are not capped. So therefore, you always have to renegotiate... We used to have a spare room concept. Which worked out... and so many people competeing with others such that... This isn't even working out any more. My ethos is... contribute and help your community, if not... then don't moan. For a small 70 million existence... with any single citizen out of the running is always going to have a knock on effect to the economy, either way. Thank God for the benefit tier.. even if it is small... cos it is meant to be the safety net to "catch all"... especially for those precarious companies. Once upon a time... the employment law does state that... you cannot be fired, unless the position is redundant. And hence, the laws is locked as such that... you will and do contribute taxation to the social tier as well. And we all know that the market can always change. This video just goes to show us that.. with these SMEs taking risks into Europe.. their assumption of the losing market share is.. It should be just seen as a blessing in disguise. Expansion always costs money. Take it as a reduction in sales, but keep steady. Just shrink for now and tighten that capital flow.

  793.  @Jur1_00  : but these people are not doing the sector any justice either. I was also a techie too, and did hardware support, and the whole first line support thing, from hardware to software etc. The point is... the whole point is... We should separate, each party and deal with their contractual obligations, and that is and should be how it is ? There is a niche business model here somewhere, but it is not going to be how they assume it to be. Alas... I have seen SO many competent companies, that have their hardware and kits, entirely outsourced, and people just gave up caring. I know I did. Especially when your customers chase you SO hard... And then use the publishing sector/media to berate you no ends, and have stupid gazillion movies, comedies, TV.. etc etc etc. To berate you. When the ENTIRE WORLD IS AGAINST you and what you do, and what you stand for. What do you ? I gave up. I went hiding, and I went and gave it all up. Cos this... I did not came into this life, to be treated like this. And this is not even on top of my normal personal life. Sure.. I can be the butt of the joke.. sure.. every day... or when it is customer-facing. But not like this. Well.... 15 years... Now we have "chromebooks", and people do not even care when they just have spent like a whopping 150, or 300 pounds per month. Gone down the drain. I'd say karma. People can just "rent" equipments now. I think Apple is doing quite well, with their rental model.... And because there are less people like us around to fix things and to give feedbacks as well. As in quality feed backs. I have heard that the cloud app sector is now in ruins. LOL..... Cos they are chasing their own tails.... Well.... It was going to happen any way.

  799.  @anyascelticcreations  : He has not told you that, even babies inside China do eat cooked food, but their hot woks or hot cookers are literally around a minimum 1.5 kilo watts, up to around 6 kilo watts. So yeh.. when we say "left overnight and THEN recooked", they are literally recooked til it is broken to pieces. But domestic cookers in the UK, are only set to around a mere 1.5 kilo watts. Or at most, food here in the UK are pre-cooked first, and then reheated at home. That is why you won't have an issue this way. The other issue that we have in the UK, would be a nutrient or an allergy thing. Whereas in the US, I guess that, people do not have those kind of commercial level equipments to make it at home? Although, yes, more and more better equipments now exist in replacements.. but still.... Even if in the UK, if you DO cook something, most people WOULD indeed use a kind of chemical method to pre-marinade (to both kill germs as well as to sterilise any bacterias)... Well... if I was making chinese food, I do this too. So does most cooks that were taught back in the days in HK. When fridges and freezers didn't quite existed. To tenderise a piece of meat with potato starches was also a thing too. Even before cooking. But of course you would wash out this as well. The funny thing which happens these days is that people DON'T wash these dam starches out ? Now... this is the ultimate difference between the previous generation of cooks and chefs, to THIS generation of chefs and cooks !!!! To die from food illnesses is a lot HIGHER in this generation in my honest opinion....

  810.  @Val.Kyrie.  : During that period of the second world war too, it was so chaotic... My mom said that, the richer families, used to be given a baby to "register", in case you would lose this baby. Cos either you cannot feed it, or that it dies of starvation... Or that, the state would take them away. So my mom said that, she had to give away babies to families that can afford to look after them for a while. She said that my father was one of such child. And then when she was able to have her own child, he was given back. (Well.. I don't know whether this is also to show that, the childless families not be prosecuted or whatever either. So this "auntie" of our family... my mom calls her sister. He was informally adopted, although... he isn't her son. She eventually had more kids, and that changed things a lot really. Well, we were liberated in HK back then, and the British actually signed a lot of papers, which secured the land away from potential invasion from the Japanese. Although, yes, there were marches and fights and things, but not as extreme as in singapore or Malaysia, I've heard... And there was a recent video that I found out too. Of some of the armenian traders, that showed some kind of imperial seal that warded off their army from HK. (Was it not the Ho Tung family ? The Dutch-Jewish-Cantonese... ) So it was a collectively effort, which kept the people and the land safe.... (Although, by then.. a lot of invaders from Fuijian, the ones that were not families, have taken hold of the land too, away from Ming dynasties' rules.. but that was something I read later...) Just for the record.. in terms of different "chinese".. in the UK.. there is a mega big whopping fight, between those who are from Fuijian.. to those that are from Canton. Fuijianese, fighting Cantonese is a real and a big thing inside the United Kingdom.. and of course.. a lot of locals, would not bat an eyelid on that one, and assumes that "they are ALL chinese"... and steps right over that one. People need to connect the dots.. to get what IS going on. Some of the so called "mandarin" is literally a blend of actually... russian/turkic/mongol/chinese hans writing system... but of course, nobody bats an eyelid on that one. Cos why ? It stops people going into war.

  811.  @toddmaggio2032  : Even I, am of chinese descent but I live in the UK. I didn't hear about the Tiananmen Square either.. until I was actually asked to do an essay on this at school. During that time.. and then to also to read up on about it. So I did. Only in encyclopedias, and also in actual Reader's Digest, I think it was.... And then only later on from BBC news. As in, when social media came around and then I searched for it. I also don't know very much about China, I just knew basic stats, but nothing major. And maybe because of this ignorance though... that led me not to understand anything. Until HK was protesting and rioting.. and then these stupid 4G, and 5G mobile phones. I ... even THEN... I did not have an understanding. I only bought these phones in the last few years. Like 5 to 10 years... and when I did. Boy, did I blow up !!! I then realised and watched more and more online materials... mostly old documentaries and TV programmes, that I never knew existed. Maybe didn't have access back then. Wow... I am so p!ssed... I just kind of know know that it is not normal for a single country to continually go through actual depression or economic collapses.. you just know know, right ??? And I worked in the tech sector as well.... so I know that, some of the truths are real. i.e. When did which generation of tech came on through.... I don't know if we will reach netzero. I think this is the assumption that we will. We are possibly already there AS well ? But bitcoin, and various other transactions type, I absolutely DO NOT agree !!!! I also do not agree with losing soveignties either.... I know that, netzero is supposed to happen, but when you see these kind of things in happening... Do you really want to ? It brings me back to that good old movie made in the USA... Dorothy... the Yellow Brick Road.... losing along the path.. and finding empathy... only to realise that, the wizard... had been the person pulling the strings all along... I think that many people today, really realises that... with Tech.... We are being pulled along, and genuine democracy isn't truly here though.

  839. This has nothing to do with "the ccp party", cos the party is separate from the state councils as well... There is also the local regions. They drew boundaries of the different lands for different groupings. They also... did not reform their banking systems as well. Why some of the cities like the shanghai and HK could handle itself, is because of its previous generation of trade of import and exports as well ? PRC has been building a mega infrastructure project for the past 40 years or so. Cos they had the likes of the World Banks sitting in their country... and to dictate them as well.. and the wrong move was... THOSE who were exposed to this confidential knowledge... The USA government did say that, they had a LOT of different... "helps" from various entities from the West.... (PRC had access to the World Bank model of ALL countries.. in the globe.) This is why.. some people hates China right now.. cos they deliberately used these details and info... for themselves.... ?... But they mismanaged it as well.... and then those so called "young educated types" were never prosecuted as well.. cos they basically were winging it... i.e. "Making things up as they go along, without proper analysis or any kind of cushions" at all.... They basically screwed up, because the "land bank" were also not a small region, and they didn't keep lending and relending, because they wanted to make the same way as that of HK as well... which never used to be as such... So... And they didn't actually used a different approach. They went "all or nothing" at the exact same time.. This is why they failed royally. NOthing to say that, they couldn't have created a different regional currency. They could've drawn stricter borders and lines. Could've used a different ratio of... land values.. rather than the same one. And then keep knocking down, and rebuilding, in City A as opposed o City B as well etc. BUT.. because their politicians are like... they are only promoted... based on their regional goals. So therefore, of course, everybody would build houses, to meet their local GDPs.. in order to actually get up the career ladder. So this is what they did, and now, instead of regional bank runs.. they are experiencing the central bank runs... That is why their so called "developers" is going bankrupt. Oh, to add insults to injuries.. a lot of these investments could be foreign ones as well. Plus... local regional banks.. could also handle foreign currencies too.. and hence, they basically use their own "loans" to export those debts into other countries. So now, Sri Lanka is in deep trouble.. because they did that.... Very complicated... (It basically means..."china build some buildings, which were based on a credit card debt.. and now, China has moved that credit card debt to Africa. To Sri Lanka etc.) IF you read it like THAT... you will begin to see why people hates this idea.

  840. You have to see things in perspectives... if you read the wiki article about the number of university that China has and when it opened and started.. you can see that it was created only merely in the past 70 or 90 years... very new. So you can see the herd mentality in both the people, and the time twisting continuum.... some people don't even know what their position does in terms of jobs, or those educated won't know the possible systemic issues etc... In the West, the people may appear dumb, both their parents and the publishing sector backfills the rest ? There is no such a thing in China.... Really, even if there are actual skilled people, the commercialisation effect is tough to control. For example... some Western professionals praised some woman from China with a so called Nobel Prize, but yet... that medicine was already an actual TCM techniques already which so many people know. Without even going to school. So how come these people didn't get a nobel prize too but that elite person did ? Such is the kind of social issue of China today. I.e. Who to award with titles and money, and who not to. China has a big inequality issue..... big big one. The famous line. ...from Deng.... "make some people rich first and then the rest will follow"..... but those who made it rich kept their money and the poor then didn't want to progress any more. And that equal chance group now has become shame..... If China does not address this shame.... or that those with money, is not ethical, and do not also twist things back round, the society will have a big issue. From all people who are equal to both extremely unequal.

How do you know what you do, would be gone into this spot? .... There is a lot of issues with this. Is transferring some money from your current account to your child's for Christmas be considered as money laundering, for example? Is giving my nephew a red packet for Christmas is going to be classed as money laundering? A LOT OF ISSUES ! And once you are blacklisted, there are certain jobs that you cannot apply for. Certain sector that you cannot work int. It is so scary. To be homeless, and destitute.. is going to be so easy? This is why.. even in the previous crashes.. a lot of people got trapped.. and cannot stand back on their own two feet again. Not because they lost everything.. but because.. they were kind of financially incredibly.. edited out ! And this is not on top of... companies.. playing games... and not formally employing you.. rather than sacking and hiring you or bullying you or whatever.... Such a very very scary time ? In the first lockdown... I tried to go out to get some items.. and then realised that, I can't... cos the shops are closed. And then... I did lose my cards as well... and then separately I lost my mobile phone? I was screened out. I did not have a phone line.. or an internet line. I was screwed. I was so upset. I had to borrow my nephew's internet and PC to sort things out. And I am glad that I had families living in the same city. Otherwise, I would be trapped? Imagine.. if this was London and it was a hostile place.. knocking on the wrong door is going to get your items and things stolen.. taken.. and robbed. My ex-colleagues are quite good people. They often meet up.. and we ask to meet up.. so that we check on each other.. Imagine.. if this was not so... Then...

  861.  @assertivekarma1909  : Why are you even jealous for ??? Other countries have done their worst steps. And they will continue to do those worst steps. Wil you abort your own child? Will you educate your wife, and to ask her nicely to NOT have children ??? Would you also speak out about this... so that women can be in charge, rather than to be coerced into abortion ? Cos if this was the West. The woman might end up in a divorce. Which many men, do do, to their wives. Relationships break up. Cos they cannot afford both adults. The grand parents. And the kids. Most families, speak to their grand parents first, even before having children. This was also the case in HK too. Way way way before this BS talk from the media.. to plastered all over the damn globe and the damn world..."but you are not having enough babies".... BS. Many people rather use their money to support their relatives. If not their siblings. Only in recent years, did the world broke down. So if you cannot do the harsh then, then don't complain !!!!! I have seen enough BS lies... from those individuals.. who keeps going on and on and on.... "but you cannot"... Sure... you cannot. But someone else will. And when they do. They are NOT going to actually help you support your babies either. My mother, 1 of 7. My generation, (including my cousins) 1 of 18. My nephew's generation, 1 of 17...... This is why in countries like Japan. They merged businesses together, and basically pooled together to open a bank. And those banks... literally are ALL... based on the relatives or families. If you really look and analyse this into details. The figures don't lie. SO.. how come so many countries do this, but... yet... Others don't ???.... I remember as a child... how "contraceptives" were introduced to the likes of me.... and in a way... I think this is decided isn't it ? i.e. WHO can, and WHO cannot have actual kids. And who would not really believe in this any way? This is already decided. The thing is... India needs to do this tough work. China needs to do this tough work. At the moment, China isn't doing any of this work... Cos why ? They just absorbed the entire ex-Ottoman Empire into the boundary of their lands.... whilst the ex imperial treasuries were... Well... It speaks volume of itself.

We were all in London... being from HK as well... Even though if you read some of the social media articles now, we get so panned down... like no tomorrow.. but before the various financial crashes, that is what people did. They worked on the ships and moved with the goods across the globe, to sell. And that is how you used to find restaurants and various things opening up, cos it was trade. The whole share-scheme is just an anchor, to reduce from collapse. But the whole HMO thing isn't that sustainable.. People need to live cosily... and rebuild. I have been reading so much on Poundbury.. that was how we were raised too. I wish this generation would do something similar. As in... don't live in high rises, and pay commercial rental fees. Just be enough, and maybe live via a rental process. Just to cruise into another generation. When we were owning our family businesses, it used to be such that, if you don't want to live in a house any more, you need to apply to the local council and to convert your house into a shop. That was what most people did for their communities... and they provided support for one another. Sometimes, it isn't about the earnings... even if you have the richest of earnings, but you have no generation, and no people, to share that with.. Would you ever feel settled? Many don't feel settled. Money can also cause a lot of pain too. Even if you have a lot of it.

  874. It's not really gambling.. cos in Chinese history, learning to play strategy games is a form of moral civilian etiquette. So a lot of Chinese do play that for enjoyment. The issue is how western eyes see the Chinese situation and then the Chinese see their reputation dampen deliberately... Hence it would kick off. So because Macau was a shipping port along with HK as well. They tried to collect the customs fee. This kind of fee in the UK at least, ends up being public money. I.e. for the community or for the people. So in a way, what you lose in the game, you will see it back in your child's schooling. Since there wasn't an actual government structure at that time in Macau. So.... And Mr Ho being half Dutch and from Europe.... His forefathers have seen a lot of warfare before. Hence this son.. tried his best to avoid bloodshed. At the height of the Dutch Empire.... Their population was in the millions. Maybe around 100 millions ?... Of course due to war, they lost a lot of people. Many Dutch are also Eurasians too now. Many Canadians or Americans are half Dutch. Many so called Chinese or Asians have Dutch lineages.... But they don't know this in their history. If the video maker says that this was the history of Macau.. then does that mean he himself is the son or the descent of such harsh conditions ?... This is why the Dutch have a very very liberal mindset... In order to survive, they would rather be liberal.... Many people don't support them these days though. Despite the video tells you about how these people rose into prominence...

  886.  @peterwong5993  : I live in the UK, have passport in the UK cos I was born here. But... I never knew the extensiveness of the chinese history. I mean... I knew about HK and how it got to where it is today, but I had no ideas of the complexities... This is why people still "fight", don't they ? This "pro-establishment" and "democracy" group. (Although if I look at them, I do not think that they really mean democracy...) Where are you based? Were you educated in the mainland ?? Learning about the connections.. and we are talking about... like.. before PRC.. before Qing dynasty... Way way way back... Ming dynasty was the last Hans Chinese dynasty. Qing dynasty was the "manchurian" dynasty.. and they tried to help their own people, but to kill off the Hans. You know that, right ? So when this "call" for "cultural revolution", it really was inside people, if you think about it. Trying to kill off the people.. or maybe even misled. Someone wrote on SCMP recently, about how the KMT and the Communists were really coordinated by the US. Cos either way, the outcome will be expected. And if you take a step back to look at the situation, which "race" survives today ?? No wonder cannablism existed in Guangxi... and some of these "ethnic tribes".... Everything now made sense. FYI... HK was also a farming rural village before.. and it was the British who did the "ethnic cleanse" first.. Direct the people's attention to something else, while trying to take control and power... How to kill off the boys, so there is no next in line any more. And forcing people to also eat their own children.. and force them to overwork, and cannot produce food etc... The storylines are told very differently, isn't it ? Now I get why my father was given away to another woman, who had money. In order to be safe, and til those period blew over... (i.e. Lied about who is his mother, in order to survive. Cos she did not have any children at the time.)

  890. There should not have been a Tencents at all. You can't have both Tencents, as well as Alibaba listed. Either/or. What should've happened then, is really to have a Tecents IN HK. Which means that creative industry, like animation, platform computing, distributed computing. Which links in with finances. And there are links that links with HK to other countries and cities as well. So why is this overlooked? When Li Ka Shing was peeved off.. he was not wrong. Cos his son created that so called smart alec telecom company, that kind of ruined things. Cos it disrupted the politics. And now, where is it ? Ruined that dynamic, and disturbed their competitors... and this is why they were basically squashed asap. No thanks to his move. How can a father and a son, both open companies to compete with one another? Alibaba created TWO data centers in the United States.. and they cannot even deal with their accountings. Why ? Why not file ??? Why doesn't such data centres exist in HK ? Why play landlord games ??? And now Shenzen is talking about a "metaverse" with Singapore... so now Singapore is going to privot and steal that limelight once again for HK ? If I was HK SAR government, I would invite the CEOs, or the representatives of HSBCs... for a cup of tea, and for a questioning in their Legco sessions !!! And basically broadcasts this everywhere ! That is what they SHOULD'VE gone.... And make sure that ALL your local television companies have the rights to broadcast that as well. Cos that is so not on ? I don't even know why they hired an actual Brazilian CEO for their exchange ??? I'm sorry..... I mean. Don't these people watch the news ? Or are they too confused to know which way to turn or to run ????.... I thought that HK is going to go into healthcare.... or are they deliberately going to miss that boat too ?

  898. By definition, a "financial crisis"... means, there is more money in the market... than there are money in the bank. The bank is supposed to say... "I have 1 million pound in my bank, and all of my records shows that I have 1 million pound". But in the real world... there are around 10 million pounds. This is a "financial crisis". It is like saying... " I have 10 oranges. I counted the record in my notebook, I do have 10 oranges".... But out there in the room... the people say that there are like 20 oranges... So how is that possible ?.... Where did that extra 10 oranges came from ? It happens because... 1) People inflate the prices of goods. So, if an item is 1 pound, it should stay as 1 pound. But the seller sold it for 10 pounds. But your sales receipt showed 1 pound. Then either change the receipt.. or sell it for the price that you say you have. 2) Currency mis-calculations... like, when you swap one currency to another one, there is a mis-step... and then you either swapped it too high, or swapped it too low. This gap.. can also create an error. This error rate gets passed on. 3) People hiding money ? Selling and buying, say second hand goods... and then claim later and to bank this into a bank. 4) Fake bank notes... The last can go on... a generalised answer is..." mis-calculation"... basically. More often a systemic error. Misunderstanding a situation. Misjudging the different factors adding to the situation. Not separating processes. Or businesses... It goes on and on... Cos you don't know where the overlaps and the relationships are.

  906. North Korea is an Imperial Land... and it is almost like a family clan, land. They won't let outsiders in, or out. Imagine it, as a private land and private family, left to their own demise. This is what is North Korea.... And in a way, they are not wrong. Because... China... the entire PRC... WAS full of different Imperial Emperors and Empresses, and they had different rules and different laws separately in different regions as well. But because the West, helped the Qing dynasty fight off the Boxer's Rebellion... THIS... kind of caused further resentments to some, and not others. In the end... the Qing government promises that they would repay back this money. And what the Eight Nations did then... was to use these money, to build schools for the Qing dynasty.. and to fulfill their basic ruling goals. Which didn't manage to happen basically when the people revolted. So it was the West that helped the Qing rule its own kingdom. What then happened... I don't know whether this is out of guilt or whether it was out of shame.. The Qing Dynasty decided to give it up. Same with the Japanese Empire as well... When they were invaded by the USA.. They wanted to die and kill themselves. Cos it is so shameful to them. But I think it took a lot of actual communication to turn things around.. let the people do what they needed to do. i.e. Open their own businesses, and to basically feed their own people etc.... To be frank, I wish China would indeed bring back the Imperial System. So that people know where they stand. And why they stand there...

  930.  @Candolad  : You need to understand that.. HK had freedom back then.. despite it was just after the second world war as well... your assumption is that, it should be an exact model.. or a desire to be something else... but... what it lost, is the freedom to do what they liked, which is to earn money. That is one, and the second one is that, there is not enough work as well.. and also the current restriction just kind of stops everything else... and at the same time, causes a lot of damages globally too. Which does not help. The intent is good.. but the outcome was bad. Some people wanted the "one voice, one vote".. but then it cannot be the international currency exchange that made it rich. It wanted the local government model.. and yet, it cannot be the international financial commerce that it is. If they wanted both, then you need to lock yourself out into a flat, like they do in New York... which is to keep things impartial.. So what do you want?.... Even people in London, they don't go anywhere near the financial district, if they don't live there. They avoid it. So.... and then they live in the rural areas. End of the business of the day. Then go home. But today, you have so much surveillances AS well.. on top of such financial and internationally sensitive areas... Do you think that other countries would allow you to do that? To put your own militaries and surveillance into a city of commercial activities? The answer is a good "no". Actually.... So.... What do china want? ... It is destroying one areas, above another. And yet, some people assume that they could export the same exact laws into Shenzen. In reality... they international crowd can't go there, at all.... (And right now, the CCP is controlling the banking sector as well.. above the financial sector itself... It should not interfere with the financial sectors..... but it is doing so. So how is that "international finance, without political meddling" ???).... Every other country, does not allow the politics to meddle with the financials....

  945.  @md28stads  : You have to remember that even in the 1980s.. we did not have the kind of financial services structures.. that many.. across so many European countries.. and our stock exchanges did not merge either ? Somebody was telling me that even Scotland had an exchange before. and certain.. UK had a lot of mini "exchanges".. let's say.. for food.. Like selling and buying cows and meat stocks. "Animal markets" was a genuine thing as well. We most CERTAINLY DID NOT... eat so much tinned goods AT ALL ! Only a few. This is whereby all of this sanctions business, and all of this organic business, is like going backwards??? It should've stayed with us throughout to begin with. That is because as a country we were sustainable to begin with. And being in the EU made us more greedy? I've had the privilege to travel into Europe in my 20s and I have seen a few cities... and I could see that even then, there were pockets of depressed areas. This kind of over expansion and contraction should've been reduced in all honesty. Sure... we seems to be more wealthy... but then again, we also seemed to have malnutritioned ourselves now. With so much resources, we cannot even run a school or have kids have a proper meal at all. The first 12 years of my working life, I also focused on distribution as well... I just thought that it was poetic somewhat since my father was a seaman way back then. It let me memorise him a lot. So yeh... I have noticed what's been going on in these sectors..... We went from a quarterly 4 seasons..in a year.. and scheduled shipping.. into a "next day delivery". Let us not forget that really did happen, and it was the internet that both speeded things up, as well as destroyed us, basically. If the figures add up, then we would not be in lockdown. Really, at this point, we should focus on waste management a lot more now. Or to turn polyesters back into oil. Like, in high volume. We should also, by now.... focus on reversing electronics too. Greece also used to ship a lot as well.. and even in the past 20 odd years.. they have created an industry to break down ships... Shouldn't the commodities market help them out as well? Take out an insurance and then in order that those metals are resold back into the commodities market? Oh yeh... I doubt that.. Ireland would care about that.

  950. Basically, what is saying is that, they have taken the money, to Scotland.. to use... and then, has not produced enough green jobs that we will make use of in the England, and in the Wales area. So it means that, "green money for green energy, but I will use some of that to feed my people instead!"..... This is why this is so irksome.... Cos right now.. Ireland is also using a lot of the oil as well ? And people in the England area is most suffering? A LOT ??? To imagine.... as a little kid, I still remember that, when Ireland hit the potatoe farming... we held that line... to stayed strong and let the profit be hit, and use our own savings, to keep the supply chain going. And then years later, to see so many Irish people, come into the UK and to do building work as well... And then Scotland... at the same time... trying to scam the rest of us.... squeezing that margin... always.. These people have a nerve. Yes, when you do not get your votes, and people are hating you, cos you are squeezing them. Sure.. let in NEW migrants and promote them into wealth. And let them show the good stats !!!!!! I am peeved off to the highest extent. This woman..... And sure, Ireland now has a low tax situation.. who is now doing international cargos, while they close all other airports in the UK. We did not vote for RBS to have taken chinese money as well.... when they also almost crippled us as well, with bad businesses.. in the sense that, it wasn't an inclusive.... The "pound is an international currency, it is a Scottish currency" !?!?!!!!!! This is just so fantastic... and here we are, even with FB at one point going on about their own crypto coins....

  956. You should listen to some of these so called actual old newspaper clips. The older generation which was raised towards those articles, only a small handful of those people are stepping forward and retelling the truths. Otherwise, this generation, they clamp down on the so called truths... and do not let the youngsters understand history in its whole context. Mao... in the beginning, he said that.... He proposed, there maybe should ought to be around 5 Nations. That is, Tibet, Uyghur, Mongolia, Manchuria, and China Proper. The Nationalists, were Southern Hans Chinese, wanting to fight the North. But maybe in their actual fact finding situation, has seen enough. And most people did not take their sides either ? So what happened then, was even more cruel. One nation's people, tried to kill the other nation's people. This still continues to this day !!!! Some migrants, do not even claim to be that nation's citizens any more. This is the travesty ! Cos if you claim that, you are from Nation A, and not Nation B... you will now be openly claimed as 1) traitor to the country, and 2) betrayal to the State, and 3) sedition, and 4) treasons. THIS was NEVER said EVER in the past before !!!! So this is absolute BS !!! As you can read this entire thread from beginning to the end... who, or which citizen, from which region, speak which BS or not. So many citizens, are confused today. Even if they stepped into another Nation's territory, they do not learn to fit in. Cos they have this kind of expectation ? This is why today, China is still in turmoil.... Corruption is rife. Everything. Cos they won't close borders, and develop those nations. Those regional governors just want to keep their jobs. THIS is a link which talks about the political tier of the mainland China. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0YjL9rZyR0&t=560s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5SE47Xjx2Q&t=355s 7 years ago, you may find this kind of American joke and diplomacies. Today, I do not think so. And do you see, how some of these regions can be actually affecting the GDP growths ?

  998. I do think that there can be an actual Western business model here. That is... open private boarding schools in the rural areas. And actually mean that, they can both ask the rural workers to work on site. Either buy agricultural products from them, which also gets processed on site. As well as paying them an actual salary too in small foreign domination. If they do this model. It then means that, the able bodied supporting two people, they stay in the urban areas.... and supports the SOEs.... and even if there are no small or medium enterprises, or if they are reduced. Then ifthese foreign enterprises supports those rural villages as well. It then means, the overall GDP is still supported ? Basically, open boarding schools for kids in the rural areas. And also, to make sure that they have both domestic AND foreign teachers as well. Kind of like a comprehensive system all around. (And in the end, those figures, ought to also provide the GDP income, to clean up pollution also in rural areas as well.) And with those building investments, they, when the school ends. Those buildings, can indeed be sold, or given to those rural villagers. Which implies or mean that, they need to be built in such a way that reflects like a low tier building.. that can be domestic kind. Imagine if these are built, it is like killing TWO birds with a single stone. It then eleviates the actual GDP spend that urban areas need, so that spare budget, could go to their own insurances or their own pensions etc. Win-win-win.

  1001. Bebe, you need to understand that, this is all "relative", you can not know "everything". Even when I was at university, trying to do my Masters... I feel bad.. cos at that time, Microsoft was growing as a company, and my research was based on something which they didn't reach. And I feel useless as well.. because by the time that I have finished, I can see that it is pointless. As I thought that it was to be useful in society, but it isn't. Something has been created and done already. So that is how "time perspective" is always is about.... I would not care much now these days... If I had a child in 2022.. I truly would not care THAT much... about their progress... and many companies, DO train you any way, regardless. What is harder in the future, is how to tie things together... and how much things have advanced... By the time you are ready, the world has moved onto something else. Connecting that... "what you are learning, will be useful in the future" is kind of gone now. There are many many many schools in the world, and they don't all teach the same thing. The teach different areas, and they use different method to teach. Just so that, a child can find the one that they like. Some schools are more logical, some schools are a lot more verbal.. and descriptive when they teach. All schools are different.... What I personally don't like, are children coming out of uni or school in China, and then often, they are, or have become aggressive.. cos they have been pressurised... That is not a good thing. Cos it is a kind of mental abuse. Your brain is still growing as a child... and is not able to... and should not be expected to... hold so much information. Is this why China has an increasing ADHD ? (i.e. Broken neural networks in the brain ?).... Those cramming schools are only good, if there are indeed a lot of state-owned enterprises, but since there isn't... and that, you need small businesses as well to make a society work. Why don't, or why shouldn't people be left to actually do some kind of hand holding... and let their own EQ shine through ?

  1002. This is really disgusting ? Because, I recently left Glasgow on a short trip. And I could see, just as much of the various "growing income"... but.. where is the basic amenities? A lot of shops are closed. And if the top end of people doesn't spend, then it doesn't spend ? And the bottom end of the people, aren't the farm owners or the food producers. And these kind of food banks, are often actually.. even more expensive... They are super expensive down South here, cos people aren't doing their pricing and costing properly either. So... Why so many tins ? When we joined the EU, we slowly integrated that wealth together, and everybody had a stake in society. Netherlands grew a lot of vegetables for us. I didn't see as many tins. And when the UK farms slowly closed up as well. Instead of building houses, in old locations to knock down and rebuild. They were built on farm lands ! And now that we have brexited, and many more items do not reach us... where is the health level ? A lot of farms in the UK are also actually NOT selling to UK consumers as well. Why ? Cos they signed deals and merged their farms together with EU ones, and they try to sell at a higher price point. And even that itself is an issue... playing and offsetting the pricing of food. Which it should be low, but it goes up quite a lot. These owners and companies, doesn't want to make a loss any more... and yeh, they need to make more money, in order to subsidise the rest of the EU !!!!! Meanwhile... the farmers.. in the UK, most of their kids have gone onto universities... and actually reduced the size of farming. Even the hospitality sector... there aren't those small but local farms.. and local city farms.. or charities.. nobody is doing those any more, as a safety net. It didn't take long, did it ? The city that I reside in... I have seen lots of people moved away, cos they too are scared that, there isn't the business.. and they don't get the prices.... and doesn't want to drop the food prices. So then, they up and leave to an even bigger city ! I don't know if people realises what is going on....

  1015.  @Shenzhou.  : You are EXTREMELY thick... and this is one of those situation that, even the Premier is going to be so annoyed at you. And the momentum is getting bad. The people who worked with "china", was the shipping countries. It was not the East Europeans. The East Europeans went up North and invaded into the Russian areas and Siberians. From the South... They had authorisation, to work WITH the government. And those countries were the Dutch, and West Europeans. Talk about legitimacies. "The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) is an intergovernmental organization located in The Hague, Netherlands. " You are trying to use NORTHERN politics into SOUTHERN regions. Well... F OFF !!!! I wish the Ming dynasty comes back. Cos you guys are screwing up a lot of the diplomacies, and some of the migrants from the middle regions are also confused as well. At this rate, the world is going to go to war. Because of your ass-wipey comments. And to think that some of the West European governments gotten confused over what is what, and who is who from which province... It really is just... a NIGHTMARE !! The PCA is a country-to-country organisation. It is not the UN. UN is global. PCA is regional, with those who have contracts and trade LOCKED down in law. So you are saying to me that, you want the HIGHEST level to clamp down and CRUSH the country to country level ? Is this not an abuse of power ? What has the situation got to do with those who is not involved in the contractual obligation ??? Also, the MING Dynasty issue.. which is why the PCA is set up, is NOT and HAVE NOT got ANYTHING to do with the Northern Siberians/Manchurians !!!! Dream on !!! I don't advice to knock down Beijing's high rises, cos I think it looks ugly, and it should have more sun. So why are you involved in this argument ? Nothing to do with you. If you push this, then I am sure that, all of these SE Asian countries will push back. And if you say, who is MORE Chinese. Sorry, but some of the SE Asian countries have more of a Hans pure blood than you do in the mainland. So has Korea, and so has Japan. So it belongs to those Chinese, and not to Northern Mongols.

  1017.  @Shenzhou.  : FYI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_Court_of_Arbitration "The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) is an intergovernmental organization located in The Hague, Netherlands. It is not a court in the traditional sense, but provides services of arbitral tribunal to resolve disputes that arise out of international agreements between member states, international organizations or private parties.[3] The cases span a range of legal issues involving territorial and maritime boundaries, sovereignty, human rights, international investment, and international and regional trade. The PCA is constituted through two separate multilateral conventions[4] with a combined[5] membership of 122 states.[5] The organization is not a United Nations agency,[6] but the PCA is an official United Nations Observer.[7]" It "observes" if parties involved in the contracts and trade breaks the laws or not !! This is what they do. It has many countries as its members ! It is not a court. But it is an entity for all involved parties to talk... (in order to avoid fighting, as in a war). THIS is why they exist. If any party breaks their obligations. A member of the security council, will indeed take orders from the UN and then go to war. Most UN members normally sign this authorisation. So, do not accuse US of always going to war. Cos many other countries had to declare war as well. From direct orders of the UN's outcome. So, nobody wants to push to the UN level ! By reaching the UN level, it is no longer discussion, it is more about sanctions, or fight.

In China, what they have done is that, they allow that individual to have an actual registered abode. Their "hukuo". Which is kind of like a citizenship. A citizenship/hometown passport, to denote that is your residency. So if you move elsewhere, it can only be temporary or for work. But you do not get full benefits. (This is mimicking what exists in Europe, and in the US.) However... what he said about the fact there are different members of CCP parties of different ethnicities are also untrue. Cos it seems like, and this part I am not 100% certain on, in terms of the definition and the logic of how it is applied... It is that, when he stated that, some people are the descendents of an ethnic race. I accept the logic if BOTH parents were so. However, following chinese marriage laws... This does not seems to be the case. In the West, you would accept it based on your parent's race. But in China, your surname is inherited from your father, but some often say if the mother is non-Hans, and the father is Hans, then they classify the child as Hans. So... I mean... even when a child is supposedly mixed race, they register and only pick one. i.e. The Father's. So how can he really say that it is fair, in terms of picking different ethnic group's citizens as members? Cos in reality, many of them are actually not so. They try to fudge it a little bit as such, to make it sound good. This is why most of course, would not really biologically BE of that race any more, cos even their DNA do not show it as such. --- When I said that some races in China are to be eradicated in this century, I was not kidding !

  1025.  @peanut5952  : What is wrong with this ? Even I was taught basic things like that when I was at school. Just learn how to wash, and then how to cook a few dishes. Main courses, and then desserts. But most importantly, it is the PRINCIPLES behind those concepts. Like, I can still remember.. and can know what are the raising agents inside a cake, inside a bread. What makes flour rise when cooking in the open. It is 1) eggs white, or 2) bicarbonate , or 3) self raising flour. When I see a child now, and they cannot even cook rice properly in a rice cooker. Or that, when they come to work in a restaurant, OR a fast food place... they would not know what is hygienic OR not ??!?! I am freaked out when they don't even know what is dirty and what is not dirty ! I was even taught how to wash dishes by hand, and why. What temperature water.. and what kind of detergents, and what are the chemical names of the detergents and why.... In recent years.. I saw a university student from China, in the UK... she BOUGHT A TIN OF BABY POWER for food !! Does she not know how to get rid of pesticides by soaking vegetables? Does she not know how to cure or help a gurgling tummy by drinking tea, or alkaline things like a soda, especially if you have had a heavy big meaty meal ? Does she not know how to calm these kind of things ??? This is what I find weird.... Or how to wash rice. Until the starch is gone, even before cooking. I also recently saw a colleague using detergent to rub this plasticky coating from a pot. (But in reality, it is the coating of the pan, and it is not grease. She kept insisting that it was dirty grease.) How can you win these kind of arguments?! Don't even start me on the video by China Insight recently on the ladies using the sewage oil... and digging them back out to resell. OMG.... The thing in China is that, it is not a case of people not knowing, or agreeing.. a lot of people inside China tend to also gaslight one another as well. Therefore, kind of creating this kind of "falsity".... and this causes further issues too. It then becomes a situation of "who do you believe, or not" scenario. Plus, often.. kids do not tend to speak out, even when they have been unjust, or treated badly.

  1028. Insurance is based on risk assessment... and the risk is based on crime records... Ask yourself.. how much crime exists in the USA ? Since the sub prime mortgage period... how many are homeless now ? So... why would the insurnace piece work in the USA, if at all ? It won't work. And this is also.. edging towards the same thing too even in the UK here... Cos these kind of decisions have indirectly forced... countries like the UK to take in refugees as well.... and indirectly affecting insurances as well. Despite, it should NOT have been as so.. but it is getting to be there. And then, the migrant level of being a land bank as well... which is causing even a worst economic situation too. And companies have disappeared from the UK. The increasing NGOs.. are happening here... And it will soon mean, that the actual collapse... of actual... society, as we know it, will soon happen. Which, at this point in time then.. means that... well... the market itself will collapse. Many houses have already been abandoned here in the UK too. People just ran off !... The cities where the banks are in the UK, have actually gone bankrupt... and the public money has gone.... So this is causing... the banking sector is indirectly causing the government to go bankrupt as well ? Despite the original 2008 "saving point".... and now... the "debt level".... is being carried by the government. Cos why ? Those stupid buildings that have nobody in them are here.... What did the UK government had to do ? They have to create certain laws to ring fence them in !!!! .... Devolved regions... (With a lot of debts, but still being counted though... for the country !!!! )

  1039. Now I get why there are like "fans" and things... or a group of people who always follow certain people etc etc. And why some people actually uses those "I have my mobile" tactics etc. Etc etc. Now I get why this whole "doxxing thing" happened in HK as well... It is horrifying.... People certainly don't try to get this angry in the UK. We try to find ways to diffuse our angers.. lol... Destroying somebody else's properties just mean... well.... Now I get why... in the UK.. it was around 5 years or so ago... I had the unfortunate incidence of... seeing an overseas' chinese individual.. who kicked off in an actual restaurant. lol.... He said things like..."do you know how much this jacket cost" ?... Cos something was spilt onto his jacket. And my colleague did not know how to tackle the situation. Cos up til then.. student figures did not reach this kind of level? So this guy kicked off... and then... they were about to hit one another? And then... someone said that, "this went online".. even then.. I had no idea what they meant. Cos I didn't see those things online.. and I didn't have a super big 5G mobile phones... I only had a silly 3G one. So then, they kicked off... Physical fights happened. And then I asked the guy not to film... (cos we were protecting their rights as well... cos the student could face deportation)... after some sweet talking.. he dropped and deleted the photo. and the film. (That was one of the scariest moment in my life, ever. Living in the UK.) The other person was just a girl... Anyway.. in the end, more things happened. And the boss closed the establishment that was ran for around 60 odd years... From first generation chinese migrants.. to collaboration... and more... and so many overseas chinese students before them... had eaten there before as well ? Like a VERY long time !!!... And we established businesses, that sent money... back to HK.. and created businesses as well.. which in turn.. created... THEIR factories.. But they don't know all of this. So yeh... to avoid assaults.. and prosecution.. People just gave up. A military man was the local mayor.. It kicked off so badly... From 1000 chinese students.. it turned to around like... 100 000 ones.. Not even including the EU students... I think there were around now.... 200 000 students. Which is TOO high ?.....The city is only around 500 000 people. Imagine.. when they couldn't even live with the locals etc... And then fight the locals and tries to kill them. You do not find that inside China, do you? A foreigner coming into china to want to kill people etc....

  1059. Because that is not the way that the culture is inside China today. They lack the "EQ". So what, if they are clever, and has a high IQ. But EQ is something that is lacking.. and this is not something that even the Chinese government can control. Because... since there are around 1.4 billion people... So... what if everybody, did the same thing? Why is it necessary to begin with ? Many of the scientific stuff has been created and done already. So you need to learn the next generational thing. And not to walk the same exact path as before ? What if one day, they come out of university... and then find that, what they have learnt is already done. Either one group somewhere within the entire region of China has done the job, or got the contract. What will they do then ? Cry ? Feel that it has been wasted their time and life? So why not do something a lot more progressive, and happy for themselves ? I didn't even know that "cram schools" existed.. This must've been created, in order to reduce the inequalities of different region.... but now that this is done, and ALL kids have a very good overall and general understandings, and then you have TV to learn from, books as well, and even social media. Exactly why do you still need "cram" schools ? You do not need this any more ! I don't think that the kids realises this... but for us bystanders, from foreign countries, who have been on the receiving end of their products that they shipped out of the country, we know exactly the figures, and how many and how much.... "Everybody" came from a village.... but there is no bad thing about that, at all. Some villages, pride themselves in being good at farming. My parents had their farms as well.. until it was turned into a city. I think people need to realises the importance of keeping the food supply chain going !

  1072. So he is an actual "Cantonese-Nepalese" then... so what is the problem ? In the UK... if you live in England, you speak English. If you live in Wales.. and they recently changed it to Welsh... or Gaelic in Scotland... This is normal too. I can also speak "German, Spanish, Italian, English, Cantonese, ".... I have a degree. And also a Masters as well. SO.... why should they not have the same opportunities ? Why should this NOT be something that these people are doing ? Oh, I forgot... also French as well. I was and had to speak a European language for the better integration. So I have GCSE German. And then did sciences at A level stage. Is this why... HK now lacks those medics.. and those individuals... who NEEDS these people, but now... they are fighting the same salaries and the SAME rice bowl... as well... USING Taxpayors' money.. to bring THEM up.. even more ?! There are elderlies... who couldn't even get an actual HOUSE... cos THESE families take it up as well. Watch this TVB local channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqry36bRrbQ <----- These elderlies... served the community, til they cannot... and even listening to these statistics now... These kids, are using FAR too much resources... Than the local kids, and the local adults. And they DO NOT EVEN... live in that same city either ! They are migrants, that is immigrants... to the city. Whoever actually did their wrong doings to that city itself.. has done injustice to the city overall. Wanting to make money... but discriminates against the actual LOCAL citizens !!!! I don't see THAT also in the UK either ! A lot of children once created a system.. then help themselves. Lots of people are independent, and is able to speak, write as well. So why aren't these people ??? .... And those so called NGO individuals.. often... are just transient people as well. Do a job and then leave. Do a job and then leave. Creating a really bad chaos ? This is similar too for the UK... The local people, ought to be English or Irish or Scotish. Their population is now down to a mere 60%... and the rest of the society are from ex commonwealth ethinc minorities. What is HK doing ? It is supposed to be around 8 million people.. but I certainly don't think so. I bet that it is around 4 million Cantonese, and the rest are now foreign migrants... and non-Chinese ethnic individuals. THAT is what is going on !!!

  1073.  @baruchlev2658  : Actually, that is not true about the USA... Cos the USA, is a relatively "new country"... by comparison to Europe. Europe is an old civilisation.... Whereas USA are mostly, what is classed as a "new world"... and is made up of many migrants.. including those from Europe... AND China too.... Let's be honest about that. And once upon a time... some chinese people also went as far as to Mexico as well. RTHK has documented this quite well in recent years. So... (and they were part of the global trades then.. when the UN was barely just created.. after the world wars)..... China is actually playing catch up. (And they are also doing that thing, which many didn't want to see, which is to integrate their genuine tribal people, into modern day Hans' societies... even India.... which is not "india" by modern day term... It is because of the globalisation, that they are indirectly forced to act as a "singular country". In fact, India.. has a lot of tribal people. Yep. The kind that EATS HUMANS.. and has never seen people of other colours. And India does everything to protect them from being seen, or captured.) I don't think that you actually understand how big the world is.... and not everything should be noted, from the internet... or just social media... California.. was also once upon a time, a part of Mexico. And around that time... actually, a lot of chinese were living there too. So yeh..... the world is far more complex than your assumption. (And no... USA is not just full of "white" people... far from it....although the current media, kept saying things like, "black people were slaves"... er... Only a few, but then the rest were actually... black owners, with white slaves. Because they were indirectly freed by policies. And then... the laws were not all explicitly defined in all states, so there were indeed a lot of hardships on white people too. Til they librated all races. It's too complex to sum up in a single sentence. )

  1077.  @christophercurtis2893  : Many white looking Indians, are basically half white, or even like 3/4 white by now.... Same as... the video is about HK Chinese... Many of the HK citizens were Dutch... or were Jewish, or Catholics... (some were Armenians, apparently, which I found so surprising).... And then quite a few were Cantonese. (The Cantonese were proper Southern Chinese Chinese.. and not Mongolians, Siberians, or Manchurians(half korean/japanese heritage)... This is why.. America also screwed up the world today, because.. they supported Russian/Siberian/Manchuria, which is the North... and he left the South in a bad shape. This is quite dangerous. 1.2 billion people.. When the communists invaded.. and then they did that intense breeding exercise,..... supposed to create a red army.... ended up with the current situation. Of what... incest?... Some people know of this. The rest don't even want to think or cry about it. 1.2 billion... and now, they want to rob (the rural lands were where the old chinese tradional scholars/civil servants were kind of hiding)... so now they want to force them to the urban area, so that they can rob their banks (local tax offices/treasuries from previous dynasties) to fill in the gaps left behind from the urban bank run debts...... And this is because PRC joined the sodding WTO... and then also have the so called yuan on the international arenas. This is why it has gone all Pete Tong. (Those who refuses or resist is shot dead, and "extradicted" by supposed national order..... ) Well... this is the legacy left behind from 2nd world war.. This is still going on.

  1088.  @captainhaha-o98 : Chow was a loyalist. Cos he supported Hans Chinese. Cos Britain allowed non-Hans Chinese to enter the home turfs of some Hans Chinese. And those lands were under Imperial edict. This is why it was important that, nobody outside without the right authorities to enter. Cos it was family land, as far as they are concerned. Anybody trespassing is seen as an outsider, and by Tang Code.. they could be killed. And have their heads chopped off. In fact, this is what happened to some innocent individuals... and Britain did not allow the correct people to be checked. i.e. The relatives of those in HK.. were and had their heads chopped off.. when they fought that their family members were being bullied. So then they were killed. The trespassers did not know that, they were recruited by the British... and did their deeds. This is why that also kicked off even MORE events as well.... (and these details, only recently are surfacing actually)... Which I find atrocious. This is on top of.. or not including... foreign traders etc.. Of different races etc. (And then also the religious entities too.) Also not including the Dutch dispora that was there.... from like 1500s... and those issues too.. And this is why today, they seem to be so against what is happening too. This is why even today, the Jews... whose land is being protected now.. and those who lives in HK that are jews.. are not even supporting the right side either. They don't even voice their concerns ?? At all. Cos one day, this is their land... and they need to go back.

They literally removed most of their own tech and skills... and then IP'd it to other countries... and kept stablem, and locked down on immigration. Today.. in the UK.. we did not do that.. we let in non-trade related people, flood the UK's labour markets AS well... and there are no more indigenous people left in the UK. Never mind the English and the Scottish... or even European. Many or some are ethnic -English.. or some were British-Ethnics.. It is now onto Ethnics-Chinese Nationals... and onto Ethnic-Indian nationals, or African-Ethnics.. the list goes on and we don't have a commonwealth system in place for them. They desire to be part of the commonwealth, but they vote in a way that literally screws us up as well???? So now really.. SHOULD we still buy from Africa? No. We have reduced our farm goods from Africa. We've stopped that. They voted AGAINST us in the UK as well. They supported China. China now has satelite-induced-gaming markets... which they are a part of ! Why did the Irish ran away from their own brewary brewings? Even they do not do that any more... and have gone back to Ireland with the USA backing them. Despite all of this cheap talk before about IRA and what nots... WELL... They got what they wanted ! What do I want? I want to see Taiwan become ROC and gain back a large part of PRC's current set of lands. WE WANT THIS BACK. Bring on the war. Australia has signed a pact already with Japan... And the Japanese president died.. but why ??? And NOBODY helped him ???

This old Video... from RTHK... is what really summarised.. what actually happened. I bet you that... THIS info.. is not even circulated round the Chinese internet.. or the China's media circuit. So depending on which fruit loop you encounter from the PRC... They will get you and take your guts as well... It is that weird.. and warped as well..... Like.. The information and the knowledge that I learnt in recent years... I am in my 40s FYI.... I gave and taught the young girl... in my job... And yes, she gave me an attitude.. and I think to myself..."even though I have learnt this NEW taxation rule... in England.. which only came out around the last few years.. YOU could KNOW before I do ? What kind of f!cking planet.. are you on? I don't expect you to know. Cos accountancy is a REGULATED industry !!!!! F!Cking asshole !!!!! "..... We were trying to implement that in our company.... (Oh, she is also now... kind of hidden away by some chinese man, despite her actual immigration status has voided. So now she is illegally inside the UK. I find that shocking. VERY shocking !!!!) ... So I was sharing info hoping to figure it out together. Oh yeh. She slapped me. Assaults, is the usual actions.. or verbal insults... Like, a LOT OF IT !!!! The educated HK citizens normally do not come to the UK.. not the ones that is tied to those powerful positions... And then pratts like these so called "daughters of some concubine elites".. they often ended up in the UK. For what purpose, I don't know? Maybe it is fleeing from persecution from their elders or from their bosses. Which is more than likely. She did say that she came from a family with a concubine system... Which I thought was odd.. but there we go... It still happens. Or happen-ed. No wonder there were so many slurs before about prostitution... Basically women are cheap in the PRC. Still is. As a cantonese women, I find that super sad... Heart breaking, AND sad. I realised now.. what so many of these online posts were about now.... Totally 100%...

And this is causing an actual issue.. and it will combust, and blow back in their faces. This is why so many people now, outside of China is acting out.. cos it will bring them down as well... The entire world. I like this documentary, it highlights what I did not know... Cos PRC shielded themselves away.... and with technology.. maybe it is a good thing... It is showing us what is going on... We may say that corruption went on.. But then again... To connect this small village is super easy. Do they need to build big motorways ? Yes, a lot of engineers from the West praise it... But that money, can feed these families for 2 to 3 generations !!! Do they realise this ?!? If the government just gives them the money... They are sorted for LIFE. For many many many generations... Do you see how tough the Chinese makes life to be ?? The interviewer said that this is a poor area.. but in reality... The people, actually can feed themselves... And keep their families together. There are apparently, around 400 million children.. born as a second child.. undocumented. Even though China had a one child policy. Did you know that, many people in the West.. were also forced to be adopted as well.. or given away into orphanages... ?? All in all... to curb the population growth, in order to sustain an economy. So many people in the West do not talk about their dead children.. and yet.. China failed to do their parts as well. It is fine, if they do not meet their goals.. So then let them be tribes. Or get subsidies then... This country is so crazy.

  1154.  @marvelcomiks8078  : I take it that specific passport, is a PERSONAL passport.. so therefore... that individual who works or lives abroad, then has to pay that region's tax. So how is this "investing"... And why would your "investment" not actually be counted for ? If personal tax.. then personal taxes... And yet.. if you run an investment... then your corporation tax has to be filed as well.... There is actual personal taxes, and that should and ought to be filed. So how does his investment works out then ? Why "invest" ? It is then not an actual investment, then it is him moving money around the globe. So this video basically shows or tells me that.. individuals obtained a "passport" in order to hold a foreign currency? Is this what they are implying? And this is not even immigration, as in... literally moving to live in the other country ? Is this even legal then ? I don't think it is. Cos in the UK.. you cannot do that... your physical presence means you HAVE to LIVE in the UK !!! Who made these kind of rules up ??? Ah.. but that is how you see it in the USA... but in the UK, you cannot do that. Cos per year, you have to pay corporation taxes as well... You say it is "investments"...but this is not their bank doing all of this for them. Transferring into an actual bank who could do that on your behalf... Only certain banks could do that as well. So what and why is this "party member" running this "company" all of her own ? Think about it. I am appalled at people's lack of business acumen and laws in different jurisdiction. Is this why some individuals are running an actual loan shark setup and call themselves a "bank" ???? Is this why... even the likes of Hukon Huang... stated clearly that, there is a LARGE "shadow banking" inside the PRC ???

  1186.  @vanessali1365  : Before 1997.. a lot of HK chinese went up North to have like second and third wives already... like an Imperial King.. so... (and then their children came down into HK as well)... This is why HK was congested, and why they all have their so called ID cards.... It isn't like this was not known. And somebody recently posted about the various prostitution den, or other... that is frequented by the US marines.. I don't know how true that is... I am shocked to find that to be the reality, in truth.... And then this explains why these weird unwanted children, and where they came from etc. And their so called idealism.. that they were "definitely unwanted women".... I find that a bit sickening to be honest. Now I get why there had been SO many.. "Asians".... I get who they are now. A lot of those people already went into the mainland to create businesses any way. So.... maybe it is the left over Eurasians, that see themselves as Hong Kongers and not as chinese. That can explain things quite a lot. But the people who moved down into HK are not those from Canton... Before 1997... the ones who moved to Shenzen could be Cantonese.. It is when it created the so called "economic zones", that saw an influx of people, from various other provinces, who bombed it down into HK.. and created another kind of weird clusters of cities. They are mostly from rural areas... and doesn't want urban lifestyles. THIS is what worries a lot of the Urbanites in HK as well... Watch this video... https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJ5cZnoodY This is why.. not a 40 million region before 1997... It might have only been around a mere 10 million maybe.. or less.. Cos it was a shipping port area... It went into a decline, it made so many people move into the area... It is now a 40 million region... But many lost their homes, and then so many loans are carried out as well... And this is the latest news: A woman owning around 1200 suites in Shenzen ? Why ?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFCMxwVMAMA This is the latest news... 300 billion US dollars.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7GzNlI8vto But I think... it is correct that we don't broadcast this.. cos it does make people fearful and it causes a blip... but.. it does beg the question, why people have this many suits etc. All they need to do, is basically to consolidate themselves. And be done with. I hope they do the sensible things !!!.... And also NOT to risk HK.. cos putting HK at risk.. puts the globe at risk.. cos many countries are also tied to HK as well... and THEN.. the PRC would be in DEEP poop poop !!!.... Cos other countries are not going to be so forgiving for dragging them down AGAIN ! The 2008 crash was about China as well...

  1188. I don't think you understand Japanese culture as well.... or that, what they have signed themselves up for. So why change something when it is set in stones for a while? Cos they know that this is a restriction... and they are a lot more concious than most societies as well. This is why they have the onsens or the home spas, right? To heat the bath tubs at home... and then to sleep in a cold room. So heat your body temperature to be higher than the normal 37 degree... and plus, it helps with their circulations as well. Imagine if there is an Earth Quake.. what is your insulation going to do for you? You will die a worst death, and the chances of dying is higher too. So they have low level housings, which is like a blood of wooden planks. Even if they fall.. you can still be saved ? So which do you choose? To die, or to not die first, but give yourself a chance? In terms of healthy food... and fruits... it is actually super hard to raise fruits in Japanese climates. Some fruits are easy to grow. Others not. So when they give fruit as gifts.. really.... this is more like a praise... more like a "did you see how much efforts I put here, look at this marvellous thing" ? I think Europeans and Americans take for granted the geography that they reside in. And yet... Japan for a tiny island... with so many constraints.. because of cooperation.. can grow their tiny island of 30 millions, or whatever it was into a 100 million existence... And they still kept some of their low sustainable wooden housings too. Whereas if you look to HK... they are in a hot climate... and howcome, they don't even utilise the sun's energy for solar panels... so that they too can use less electricities... and therefore spread this further or to sell to Japan as well ?... People are way too complacents.

  1190. They are not your money. They are other people's and other countries'money. Look at her eyes. She has green eyes. Which child would go against their own ancestors ... she squeeze them til they die ? You are right... Sg is now trying to support their original relatives abroad. I take back my comment. HK should not be the target.. SG should be the target. Traitors. Greed. Sg made the bad move first, so they basically indirectly caused the decimalisation of the UK and forced us to enter into extreme poverty. And then when things didn't work out in their trades, they literally go back and bite the hand that feeds them... Despite them being in the wrong first place. Damn you Singapore. And even now in the past few years, SG has been hoarding gold and they aren't even broadcasting about this globally. So it is making their SG dollars as an actual reserve global currency and he goes on about the USA dollars being global currency whilst SG perpetuate their stupid bitcoins and unlease this across the globe ? Damn you Singapore. Goddamn you. They basically right this moment created a global two class system. In protecting and desiring their own future and life.. they had no idea about the British influences in other countries and not their actual debts as well... Well... Well done Singapore, you damn pratt. And it is really funny all of this talk about racism bs.... Cos frankly this is systemic global racism against white people ? Third of the USA are "Asians".... and that report was done in Cantonese as well. They spoke Cantonese cos it was a mere shipping port. A port which traded. So Singapore actually had their own army in the end, and what did they do ? Sided more with fuijian trading ports ? Is that why fuijian is now widely spoken in SG ? And yet those individuals are now conflicted with who to actually take sides in and not. And yet China sees Singapore as an actual Chinese state. Well done Singapore... You will speak Mongolian soon enough. With your lies and your so called laws. Now I get what is going on. And why sg always go on about the stupid opium trade. Nothing but pirates as my mother said. "You were born from pirates" she used to say jokingly... Opium trade was by the Silk Road... Maybe the wrong move was the British assuming the Qing's consumption of opium were the same as the non-chinese of SG... and why the hatred. So SG is full of bastard love childs. Makes sense. Everything makes sense now.... So basically SG took down Iran.... And their monarchy.... Without knowing what obligation the British commonwealth had. And why things were a certain way.... this is really disgusting.

  1201. ​ @Nelson373737  : So? It is no different to actually for Germany to get SO cosy.. and for Italy to get SO cosy... with the Beijing government, and allowing people like Ai Wei Wei to film and to document, and to bloody broadcast this on INTERNATIONAL PLATFORMS !!!!!!.... HOPING TO DO BUSINESS !!!!!.... So much so that, you are basically humiliating US in Europe. I have... in the past 8 years, been assaulted TWICE... by chinese people. Even though I myself is cantonese, and originally from HK, and is one of these commonwealth babies. Even I have NO LEG TO STAND ON. I reported this to the police. And then... they said to me..." are you REALLY sure that you WANT TO DISTURB YOUR COMMUNITY "??? ABC. I don't know these people ! The ones that came into the country in the LEGAL way, WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER !!!!! THAT is when you KNOW that immigration has 1) lost it, and 2) gone. THOSE people in HK who BUYS the European products WERE the ones that were here a long time ago ... before... So whenever you see this business of..."but yeh... China WILL want to buy"... Er... No. They don't buy. Cos you just made their mother made that item. And then, how can you expect the mother's salary, to cover the child's spending ? She does not even earn enough!..... Some people are really stupid. Well.... a lot of HMOs today inside the UK, is full of people who do not know one another, and they are here to "grab a bit of earning". And stabbing have started to increase. Why ? Well.... "I don't know who you are and what you want from me". Self defensive mechanism. Like, we did not expected his to happen. One guy from Africa... (could be part of those refugee lots, which Europe did not take good care of)... Thanks Merkel. He literally stayed in the cheapest of accommodations... and then another Polish guy was just having a drink with his friend after work. He used the bottle to knife him. When I read this piece of news on social media, I was so upset. It was the African's friend who reported the situation to the police. Not the Polish man, and his friend. I think this was filmed and broadcasted somehow... It was so bad. Is it because the media now do this kind of "real-time repertoires" that the European politicians are literally taking this REALLY seriously? Like REALLY seriously ??? Do people assume that the "social media" is just a way for us to hide from real life? Shove them under the carpet? Where I reside, the local media, keeps peddling that..."we are the city of sanctuary".. Like heck we are. The people that stayed, and those of us, who fought off... the drugs.. and the mothers who would scream at their child to stop the drug taking. To the current "now"... of a child being drugged, and the mother does not get angry. The mother actually does not find the perpetrator to kick them in. But instead, will turn to the news agencies, and not to the police. OR to stop the situation by talking to the other mother, and both ladies to STOP this. Instead of doing THAT.... Instead of doing the right things. They did the wrong things. Social media and the internet also actually ruined communities too. Like, the one where I resided in... They had a mega BIG... threads upon threads upon threads., of genuine deep deep deep hate. And then in real life, people "pretended" to never read that. Or never knew that. These threads still stand today.

Cos what.. you guys refused to do things solidly, and you guys REFUSED to sort out your banking system, or to prosecute people for financial frauds ??? Isn't that what is going on ??? Just because you guys don't want to reform.. or to prosecute.. cos you are WEAK. That is what.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7G_W_WWBos&list=PLK7qCnafFFJYdBCJapnp1xK3cN-2KvFza&index=18 Casinos, and "digital money laundering"... to "exchange into foreign currencies" ? Why do you need to do that? Why don't you follow the reform from the top down orders? Why have to take it out of the country ??? Duplicate bank notes in China??? Bank runs ? Do not daily check? Do not regionally check, or do regionally lock downs ??? Every single day ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmgBpRAB8B4&list=PLK7qCnafFFJYdBCJapnp1xK3cN-2KvFza&index=12 Refuse to reform ? Have CCP members with salaries of buying powers instead??? Have mistresses.. so cheap.. have second to third wives.. cos only the party members have the money, so the women flock themselves to these people? SO the world's trade is to RAISE those women's babies !?!?!!?!! I REFUSE TO DO THAT !!!! As a British Cantonese, I refuse to play this sodding game any more !!!

  1280. That is because these Korean-mixed race people, are basically going back to their ancestral homeland to take back what is theirs... Even though we say that they came from Korea.. or even from Japan... Some of those.. were really going back to the location, that their ancestors were killed on. And then they fled... Fled to grow up.. into adulthood... and then to take back what was theirs. THAT is what really went on. i.e. They revenged for their father, or grandfather... They saved themselves first.. have kids.. be strong.. and then came back to kill. People often put down the Americans... in modern day life. And in recent years via the internet and via social media. But why does America have to become this "security middle man"... to stick inbetween these groups of people ? Japan lost a lot after the war, and then they rebuild. I think it was signed under some treaty or other.. that allowed US to help grow food for Japan... to rebuild their cities. And then, they were also asset stripped.. and removed from their advancements... and absorbed their skills and technology. To dumb them down. The reality is ? Some of the so called American tech...(which eventually was stolen by the chinese as well) came from Japan to begin with ! Post war industrialisation... saw a collaborative efforts... to make things that came from different countries to make an eventual item. This was trade.... To equalise... and to force to stay peaceful by means of exchange. That is really what went on. (And yes, Japan also helped china rebuild too.. by allowing those factories to open in china... and Japan became the consumer group....) But I somehow don't think that is also what is taught in schools in china though.

  1301.  @Spyderdeztrade  : I am not an accountant, but I am an IT consultant, that has specialised in ERP for many many years, and you can call me as a "financial systems' analyst" which is the title that I would get in the West. I also deal with and double checks the financial ledgers, and act as a technical backing support, whenever something goes wrong. As a secondary non-qualified systemic accountant. Maybe qualified to the AAT level. And yes, I have done or checked, technical audits, and have also worked in both government finances, as well as actual accountancy consultancies as well... So... It is expected mostly in the West, to have issues, cos you kind of expects it. This is why the way that you do finance, is structured the way that it is ? Every month-end, and for the USA, every quarterly-ends. It doesn't even matter, if you need to regulatorily uses a quarter-end, but you instil a strong process internally to check monthly, so that you have at least 2 to 3 opportunities yourself, to correct any mistakes. I think with large volumes like China does.. it is even better to have like tiered-upon-tiered checks. Daily, then weekly, and then monthly.. to quarterlies.. so that you catch every single one transactions. In the U K, every single position as an accountancy sector, is and has to be done by a learning and practising accountant as well. So this is not new for us here in the UK. For some reason, the US doesn't have this, but they do have things like a permanent internal audit as well. But only for very mature and older companies that often tries to transition and to pivot into a new areas, and need more hands on deck etc etc etc. So... But most people, if their finance manager thinks that something isn't quite right, it is down to them, to change the team and to double and recheck etc. Otherwise, how can they sign off? The video did say that PWC actually did not sign off their accounts.. it was "advisory" only... so... To me, it comes across like, they didn't have an actual set and strong regulatory practices any way ? So.... and I don't even understand why they do things the way they do... Cos HK used to be an actual financial centre, with investments.. and now, this kind of "state model control" is like... you are removing the actual investment banking areas... So I don't get it. Actually. Cos this isn't how things are run and done in the UK, or in the USA ?.... So... There are public money, as well as private money, and then there are institutional investment banking... which is all separate from the other two. So even if every area is "state-owned enterprises"... then... I don't get it... I don't.

  1302.  @Spyderdeztrade  : You need to remember that, many of us, used to do the manual double book keeping. As in.. literally doing an actual ledger check. And your peers, can kick you out, even if you cannot do it. A lot of people, or companies here in the UK, do not need you to take on a university degree any more. They expect you to come into the company, and to do the work, slowly but correctly. Even if you have actual manual method, you need to actually do and use the systems as well. They check your mistakes and they check your standards as well. If you failed the check and doesn't past the exams. Then you just stay in the same position, or that certain jon function, you can no longer do. So... the standards here in the UK is extremely high ? So... you need to be able to do something by hand.. even before the computers became a tool to do the same job. Also, you need the same as well... when in reality, you need to be able to know the processes, from end-to-end. It is rare, for anybody inside China.. to be able to know the end-to-end processes, cos you guys have not been exposed to it. (By right, you should not know this, at all. So.... I can see why people hack. But when you hack, you are also breaching security and attacking both yourself, and your clients too. ) I can imagine the number of systemic issues as well.. that goes on inside china. Cos... before, it was open.. and then it was closed off. Even if something has been closed off, from you.. your management, should talk to you guys and have an actual chat as well. As not to let you be stuck in your mind... at all... so... I don't think that they are classified as "auditors", more than they are and should be classified and be called as "Advisory". Advisory, is talking about the build up of possible issues, that is going to grow big.. and those areas, is expected to happen, cos you just pushed out a policy to the country, so you don't expect perfection and smooth running, would you? So this is why it is advisory. However, audit... is to have an external... arm.. somebody that you don't know... check your own work. Cos sometimes, you are inside the company, and you can have corruption between teams and between people. So that is why you would want an external audit. Random or otherwise, to check that team's work. I have had this done to my work too. We were not told... and nobody is allowed to see those individuals. But everybody is on edge, and you can of, sometimes know. It is only often gets told afterwards... So... I still remember my first audited work by Deloitte as well. German guy, he was. Came in, seems like a lot of money. But he did a thorough check. Nothing that we wouldn't have been doing otherwise, by the statutory method in doing things. And then he came with some recommendations in and on small areas. So we followed up on that. Maybe he stated the small section which we needed to know. But... he filtered the correct section for the different tier and layers. As accordingly. Really. I've since then worked for Deloitte too.Not a big deal.

  1303.  @venomlords  : The thing is, because everything happens so fast for China, mistakes can indeed occur.. which it is expected to be as so and as such too... It is when they joined the WTO that converted into the current model. I don't feel that it is all that fair, to be honest?.... And in a way, China doesn't have to literally use this as a single thing....cos... they are using high level UN level style.. monetary style.. above their own internal developments, and small banks and their so called "shadow banking".. (Which is really, the olden ways to do their own living. Which is absolutely fine?....).... Sigh... The other thing is... when foreign diplomats go into China, they expect absolute perfection. Any body out... is an actual... death penalty or whatever ?.... But at the same time.. they shouldn't use these excuses to take one another out. i.e. prosecute... And also, they shouldn't have excess babies... unwillingly.... Some people still have a concubine systems as well... which is scary. Then there is that white lady, that was taken to a Buddhist country.. she was raped by those people.. and then her baby is deformed. Cos they expected that the land is full of illnesses... and she ended up writing about her ordeal.... She too was a banker. And nobody helped her. That was crazy. She now sits in the top echeolon of monk's structures. Now people worship her like a God. A lot of people still think and assume that they could sell eurasian kids as well... A lot of that went on too. Reselling of babies, cos they know that they would be taken care of by the West. So people deliberately did it as well.. Rather than to let nature take its course...

  1306.  @schrodingerscat7252  : This is happening all because of the PREVIOUS generation's mistakes. That is why, and what. Now ? Now this generation, and for the next few generation, you NEED to undo these kind of mistakes. Question everything. Watch everything, and question it. Edge slowly, for stability, not for brash rush. Why is the UK bureacratic? I used to think that governments ARE bureacratic.. but in fact, edging and taking a long time to make a decision, is really delaying further mistakes and causing the situation to be worst. China has around 1.4 billion people. These people are already overleveraged? And these people are not likely to learn from any mistakes. Humans are a funny thing, we only learn, because we can. And we only learn, because we could. And we learn, either by being taught, or copying someone else. So what do we learn ? We are learning from others, and want to recreate the same situation. This is why laws are important.. and in the UK and the US, or the EU. Why is there a rule of law? It is to stop something from happening. When you have a small population size, any actions deviating or causing it topple,... can make the situation far far far worst.. Than it really is. Often. Always. Usually. If you watch a lot of the videos and contents... Many videos especially from Singapore, are now saying things like.... "well.. the money is meant to circulate back round"... And when the region, or the country is NOT transparent... Their banks, went ahead to do estimates. "I think this is roughly around this figure, but I have no idea how much"..... Whereas in the UK, every single transaction IS counted ! One transaction is OUT ? You are dead meat. And you can be accused of fraudulent activities. That is how it IS ?.... Well... all people were taught how to do accounting in the UK. Either your parents had small businesses, or that the banks had to control and make you count things. That was how the UK had always been stable. I bet these people had never been taught, in school, or at home... how to budget... and how things cost, and how much they should pay for something, xyz.... THAT is also HALF the problem too.

  1313. Apple gives the money back to the people... and basically, you can also return the phone as well and get upgrades. It means that you are basically "renting".... the iphone. Cos phones have a finite time.. they are still a piece of engineering... and it will go one day. Apple is smart enough and good enough, not to do business, but to crash the financial sector AGAIN. So this is why they literally find ways to break even. What FB should've done, is indeed split his company.. into regions or by country... So that people can have a control of their own businesses... and things. And also, he should've done a lot more due diligence as well. Which he did not. Allowing non-connected, and non-met people... to randomly stalk people. And harass people... He assumes that was pretty funny. It is NOT funny. It is scary ! FB also allowed SO many people to lose their own jobs. Cos once those companies found out that they used FB on their spare time, and it violated their own company's resources... Cos it has been hacked.. MORE people became jobless. Thanks to this a wipe. And his "team". He also, indirectly FORCED.... governments to enact laws, that were NOT voted for as well. So many so called "digital laws" came about because of HIM !!!! And nobody literally ASKED for this. And nobody knows what they "click to consent" means !!!!! If they know that, "advertising, and selling myself" is like pimping myself out.. I don't think that most people would put themselves in danger. Would they ???? Most people have to do a job, for a living. Nothing MORE !!!! I now see women.. becoming online porn stars... and they don't even realise this. As well as people steaking their photos and making a company.. out of them. Out of their names ? In their names as well ???? These are also random people, whom they have never met too.... The kind of sickness of society....

  1318.  @jonathanodude6660  : Just what you said means a lot... why is there "compensation".. no, there is no. So.. imagine that.. the provincial governors are actually just an admin team.. They do not have the ultimate right to take your land. They ask, and you can refuse to sell your land. That is why the Central Beijing dept is set up to do. And a LOT of people dispute this as well.. cos some of those lands, were already old imperial lands.. and they are NOT sellable !!!! That is why people of course wants to hold onto their land? So some provincial governors wants to achieve their own job position and be promoted UPWARDS.. cos their remit is to meet GDPs... If they do not meet GDPs, then they do not go up the career ladder. What do you think will happen next ? Often, you are forced out of your own home, if lucky, get some money, if not lucky, they will kill you. THAT is what happens... Cos you are in their way and in the way of that person who wants to go up the career ladder. Do you see ????? In many ways, it is not that dissimilar to what we have in the UK, but we use terms like "economics".. but surely.. you have to reconcile your emotions, your brain, and really internalise and accept it in your mind first, even before you say "yes, go ahead" ???? If you are lucky, then the governor kind of let their career go... if not lucky.. goodness me.. God forbid that some kind of bad things will happen. Now, if you realise that capitalism has eaten up China, do you now see those jokes "Gung Hei Fat Choi" as a form of sarcasm ? "Good luck to your death" more like....

  1324. Well.. as my mother said.. it is the "oldest marry first, and then the next ones after that, if he doesn't marry, then you don't marry, so find him a wife ! "... I tried my best too ! Literally palmed off everybody that I know !... And it is true. Whether you do believe this, or you don't believe it. Cos if the older one marries off first, then you know who is left... and which family should and should not marry. Cos you don't want incest situation to occur. That is all part of feng shui. And yet.. people literally DOESN'T.... deal with these issues.. and DOESN'T even stays open-minded either. Then.... I am sure that China has a system.. but to me.. that system is more or less destoryed now. And yes.. it is a laughing stock of an issue. If anything. I hope that Korea, that is South Korea doesn't fail on their situation.... Cos everywhere else, it has. Even religious marriages, aren't very religious any more... They put their royal heritages first and foremost.. than anything. And the thing is inside China. You meet a LOT of psycho men as well ? The ones who you did not hurt. Who you never asked about dowry, and you just ran off. Being none of your business. Would end up walking past a guy or a man.. and he would hit you. If you ask about how many chinese women have been hit by men. That is both somebody that they know, to somebody whom they do NOT know... Ask them directly.. and see the figures. It is ultra high ? VERY high..... If you befriend somebody that is not chinese, then you get a respite. If you befriend somebody of the same sex, your family would critise you and call you gay. Always these kind of BS lines.... I have seen my auntie... literally being critised by my father's extended cousin, for harassing me... If he didn't do that. I think I would be dead on the streets.... For being what ? Obtuse ?... So yeh.. stick with your own family. And don't critise somebody else. Cos they would gun for you... and you will die. That is how dangerous, this is all is.... Women dying, is quite high. That is, chinese women being murdered, is a very very VERY high figure in China... and across the board.

  1325. Er... this isn't technically true. Cos.. those schools were paid for by SOMEBODY... and it is always and also the case that the previous generation paid back into this. So... it is a case of..."finding ways to marry into that hukuo.. or move or migrate into that hukuo..."... and once you are inside that space. A lot of people, also... have to work hard.. extremely hard.. to raise the effect of that city's operations and running. The tier 1 cities, are mostly shipping and coastal cities. Cos it was trading with other nations. That is why it raised its profile. The Western side of the country is more farm land, and land.. But because some of the previous generation's tier 1 cities.. used their own banks and gave up loans towards the Western side of the country. This is whereby, the government, got more powerful to decide on what happened next, as they absorbed their banks. This is why some cities, like Tier 1 now, are fallen or falling.... Basically. So... If you ever played the game "tag".. when you were growing up as a kid.. then you would know. Basically. So... This is why, some areas were running out of women. And then they got dragged back into those areas to marry off... So... This is why, some people had the opportunities, to work abroad.. And then the deal to sign with other foreign countries to do trade deals. And exchanges. The so called one belt one road was about that. So the Western side of the country developed with Germany.. and they had been exporting for many years.. So... This is why, their standard can look similar to Tier 1 cities... But yes, I bet it is still stressful though. Very stressful.

  1334. Hong kongers have a cheek , cos most aren't even Chinese themselves ? Many are mixed race already. So... If you care to look at the feng shui aspect, you can see that it is so, and as such. My cousins have never called me bill jer. She has bad friends and I had to be her wing woman. My mother flips. And yet she takes advantages of me. None of them respect my wishes either. You would stick up for family, but they don't. They're another level altogether... I wish I did go back to HK when I was younger. There is truly a reason why the nsl was enacted. I'm the youngest in my family, I shouldn't need to take care of so many after me either. Nine of them after me ! And they fight like cats and dogs !!??? I am glad that all of them are now married and I haven't, cos frankly, I don't give a damn any more..... I've had enough. Many people are like myself too. I'm 1 of 4. Only 2 of us have kids. My mother is 1 of 7. It's tough to help raise all 7. So... The male tend to have more kids. So yes, we help raise them too. Most women in my family tree doesn't have kids.. or unlike some idiot that tries to push til they get a boy. One friend has 5. Most I know go for IVF to ensure a boy. So .... What you are talking about is nonsense actually... When I was in hospital. Nobody visited me. That was a surprise. Yet, when they had kids.. we have to help out. I painted my oldest cousins house. Cheap child labour. Babysat how many times. Even his own sister runs off and avoid the work... My own brother berates me. He is right though, I don't help him enough... Til I cannot. According to my cousin, I am ungrateful. Lol. I'm tired. Everybody is tired. Entertaining arguments. Entertaining favouritism. Taking one side. Not the other side. Losing all the time, to let one win. So the other one doesn't get jealous. Crawling on the floor cos you lose a card game. Cos you made your brother mad. So he doesn't hit you. Being hit on the hand cos your brother just got hit by your dad. My dad doesn't hit me. But then my brothers knew how to get back at my mother and my dad. Cos they would pretend to teach us and then whack us on the knuckles hard with a ruler til it burns. He would buy canes from HK too each summer to threaten us. I would hide them. If you think that triad life is tough. Imagine what is normal family life.

  1340. Extremely disrespectful... like, really extreme to the core. I thought that people were "normal"... but I was so wrong... even now, when I look back in time, to my uni days... most of the SE Asians... are the most crazy ones... To "not die"... is actually an accorlade... So.... This is a no-nonsense... So... in some small areas, people don't think about the fact that they're their relatives... lol..... I thought that was quite funny. If poor and poverty before the globalisation.... I think this kind of passive aggressiveness... is just... even worst... than being in war. Cos didn't during those Tibetan years... the actual.... monks ate the women ? They did ! And that wasn't a joke !... So.... What many chinese guys do not think about is... cos of... like... They don't think or even get that most women, had been abused, in one way or another already... It is like... For me... being hit is one of those situation... That is both from family... and then also from... so called "friends" at uni.... Mostly chinese men would hit you... cos they don't communicate.. or is confused of the situation.... And many couldn't participate in group situation... as she described, which is true... and then th elist goes on and on as well ? And being a female member within a large family group as well... Who would support who ? Seeing your partner be "dated" by your cousin's little girl ? Or... being pushed and pulled sideways along the "who needs to take whose side in the argument" as well.... ??? Always so many problems. I recall being asked, and pushed.. on why I spent time with some other female friends.... And they were right. Cos I was too friendly with them, and asked too much of my family as well. Either way, you would never ever ever win. Ever. If you are alive, then you're very lucky. What we imagine in our minds, are never what is perceived in the world. And we don't have love for others that isn't our own. Naturally... and yet, we cannot act very logically either... all of the time in front of loved ones. So.... It's just not possible. I wish I stayed in HK. I would've lived a better chinese life, and definitely say "no"... or ignore others. And none of this "trapped inbetween" cultures... you cannot push away an attacker.. and you canot disrespect yourself... and your family.. and then there is your colleagues... and they don't even get it. And doesn't follow those 8 ettiquettes of keeping relationships.. or to stay at arm's length etc etc etc. Today, if you follow Confucian values, then you are nothing but a "hater" online... Those are the internet rules.. and those are the laws.. And if people even knew the laws, then the laws would side with them. But not at all. Cos somebody,.. knows somebody... would intercept you online and ruin you for life. That is how it works. The power of control and in position of powers today. If nothing stopped the wars, and if nobody stopped issues... everything is "an accident" then... What is left ?

  1341. China has a law which says that "you cannot be a spy"... so now, they are trying to reconcile, all of their so called "Risky individuals"... Some of those are "research companies".. for investments. Some of those are "public data".... some of those are "media"... so they got confused, over A to B to C. Why? Cos they didn't make different systems to be separated, but they wanted the exact same ones, or whatever... so in doing so, sometimes, they go overseas, and end up attacking other countries, without udnerstanding what they are seeing and reading? So then the issuse escalates up the ladder, is what I think... A lot of people are now without jobs in the UK. So where and why is it still an "economy" ???.... One of two things, either a fake economy.. as well... or basically manipulated situation. Cos all of the stores are closed. China has a lot of foreign countries' money at the moment, and they are refusing to spend it? lol... So , let us actually consolidate the situation at the moment: 1 - china has all of the gold from the metal exchanges in London. So they are worth a lot. Instead of keeping it inside London, they moved it into chinese soil. 2 - they refuse to spend the money, even though they should spend.. and is holding the gold of other global exchanges, so this is asking for a warfare situation ? 3 - forcing the army.. or cyber security.. i mean.... labelling verybody a spy.... despite we buy those mobile phones from china. they have managed to track every single person everywhere... and their spending habits, and refuses to give themn jobs etc. but instead also, to hire their own chinese kids too.... and not even locals, breaking local laws, violating local policies.... And you want to know, why we do not hate china ???.... The previous banking crashes was not enough... it is a case of..."I saw a little bit of news, but I will use actions to take out the rest of the world, so that one piece, one small piece of karma is reversed backwards, that is fine"..... Huh.... "I saw a city of 500k people, go down in flame in the war or conflicts, but I will now, use my powers and my people, to take down a country of 70 million... just cos i have the team ready here.. on standby...."..... "Cos keeping MY people happy is far MORE important." Logical. Much.

  1381. This is NOT even "privacy", this is "business invasion" !!!! All I now see.. where I am residing, is an actual... I HAD a "customer", who came into an establishment that I was working in, and STATED clearly that.. he HAS a business, and he GOES into the business, and then WRITES a "review", basically slate its.... and then this adds to the "algorithms".. and he basically kills the business, and takes it down. And this is not all.... there were some kind of local banking or financial sector entity.. that sold... unauthorised sales... and took that down as well ? These were not even mere... "customers" from a typical day. These people had an actual conflict of interests here.. and if there are "Employee Mapping"... wouldn't most companies map their own employee's behaviours ? Would you, as an employee... go to your suppliers.. and then kick off? And yet, your company, relies on the client's doing well... So how does this "Global Mapping Exercises" actually works out ? Why is Google.... can have control over my house? Over MY job? Over MY employers' businesses AS well ???? I take it.. these people do not know how these things work, right ? So Google, has gazillion pounds.. and then they have to get paid.. as well.. and if you use someone's data... why are you NOT paying them a payment then ? So how come, Google PAY is now a "thing" in the UK as well ??? So now... I have personally experienced this FROM google.... 1 - Google Pay... they are the bank here in the UK. I refuse to use them. Cos there is conflict of interests here. 2 - They have a photo of my house and my residence. I recall their Google Street View cars running around the actual road where I resided and taking gazillion photos... 3 - Once, they even dared to ring up... an employers' of mine.. and asked me why we are not on there... and I SHOULD get on there.. To which I replied... "No, we do not want you to add us on there." 4 - Local 'businesses'... people who "opens an online business".... literally.... harasses local real brick and mortar businesses... to tout and force them to PAY ? For what ? These are tiny small family businesses. Why does Google need to use THIS kind of tactics? And why WOULD google ALLOW people who uses their systems, to DO that as well ? Should they not actually split their company up at this point in time, and actually split their data, or even maps, and businesses as well ? Cos surely, they themselves are also conflicting ? Why would they NOT have business accounts, or consumer accounts etc? How can they have, and allow ALL of these so called "One Man Band", to RUIN an actual market? A single one man band, can write a review, or an article online.. and take down the entire sector and market ????? Google needs to be prosecuted... at this point. They absorbed some AI companies, didn't they ? Have they figured out now that, they literally HAS the entire world in their own hands? Can they NOW see, within their "data selections", the entire collection, which they SHOULD NOT have seen, is seeing? So what does that make me ? If google has both people's financial datas.. cos they use their google pay. And then, they also use their maps... and these businesses use their platforms.... This effectively makes Google, THE government. Above ALL other governments AS well !!!!

  1403. One of my ex-boss was selling dishes at a loss ? Cos he promoted them online.. and we told that the customers that we were not informed of the discounts, but the boss gave them anyway. So around 10 people lost their jobs. Cos the boss have had enough. He just closed, just like that, after... I think the restaurant has been like.. 60 years established ? 60 f!cking years. I grew up with this restaurant as well. So did my aunties.. and my uncles.. Everyone have dined there once or twice before in their life time... This is how much hatred, these so called white guys, have for us BAMEs. I cried so much... at home when I found out that the boss decided to close. I blame myself... and I know that he blames the competitions as well... His name has been all over the internet... and then this invited some weirdos online as well... Berating him. A lot of his competitors also berated his place as well. So now, everyone closed, cos of this virus. He is one of the best chefs in the UK.... and very old schools... Never tried to be arrogant by entering competitions to get a name, but most people know his standard. It is pretty high. Three generation.... has enjoyed a good restaurant.. only to be closed... forced to close, because of social media... because of so called analytics... and because of so called... online marketing... A lot of the old building contractors often comes down and marvel at their work. The local butchers and farmers comes down to eat. THIS IS WHAT THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR HAS DONE TO THIS COUNTRY !!!

  1456.  @BewareTheLilyOfTheValley  : You should read some of my comments.. My ex-boss has been harassed a lot... That is, by competitors, or people who work for such companies... And it did not start from Deliveroo.. It started with Taste Cards.. Or this so called... Europe, or "technology boom" sector. This is why the country now is in a melt down. Total lock down. So many restaurants are no longer opened as well... Central lock down. Only some pubs and bars are to be opened. As well as some decent restaurants are to be opened too. You have no idea how bad the online berating happened... Cos that comment, means no sales... We used to have good and bad reviews online. Despite reviews.. Even the same individuals would try the same restaurant again. But these so called "analytics".. does not represent when an individual changed their minds. Or when the individual actually tries their local restaurant again. These so called analytics tools, never showed the behaviour of these consumers either. They also certainly do not show, when a dish has been customised to the diner's preferences. "I want extra light in the taste." How is this achieved ? All are standardised. "I need extra vegetable in my dish." How ? It is not on the menu. Your so called American ways... PLEASE STOP RUINING BRITAIN !!!.... "I have IBS." The chefs goes and makes everything more tolerable, and checks all ingredients, and adjust and adapt the taste, WITHOUT extra costs !!!! Tell THAT to the customers !!! One win... bad sale ??? A lot of these dining establishments have held their own for like 60 or 70 years. Did you know that ??? The so called "social media" f!cking industry have just ruined like 60 to 70 years of diplomacies, relationships and more. One of my ex-boss place.. frequented by 3 generation in my family.. Has been ruined. Why ? Because of so called technology boom ? Cos the tech sector wants a cut and a piece of the pie ??? I live in a small city of around 500, 000 people. Not a dense city jungle of around 1 million. People can eat good food. The farmers can frequent their local restaurant. "Farm to plate" is common here... Everybody places a role. Please save those solutions for other countries who needs it !

  1457.  @theuglykwan  : You need to understand something, cos HK itself is a financial city. This is what they do. They broadcast it every day. And it is part of the media's connection. You should let it broadcast? And ignore it. It is a mature city already. And if you are working.. then your working salary should be connected to that market itself any way ? And if it goes up, then your salary go up. If not, then not. It really is not rocket science, and you are supposed to price your prices according to THAT ! But of course, once that border was opened, and then the so called "Great Economic Zone" happened... HK was ruined.. A perfect closed off system, is ruined. And majority of governors in the Shenzen region and in Canton has zero clue why it worked before? Cos it is a closed loop. Same as Japan. Same as South Korea. Same as the UK. Closed. Same as Macau. Many of these countries do broadcast the info, but most people do not read it and watch it every day to instil fear in yourself... If you watched the info, and THEN increased extra prices, rather than let the calculation adjust itself.. I think that is your downfall... than anything... It is why some people got hit, and was so hated as well.. cos they ruined a perfectly good market in their eyes. HK prices doesn't fall any more, but then again, everybody is connected to the system ? So it is a closed off system already. So once you are in it, you will be in a situation of.. your previous earnings will circulate back into the system and then the ratio will bump up etc. That is how it is supposed to go.... When it is the new so called administrative governments trying to intervene with these figures.. are ruining the system itself ? And that is why suddenly, you see this big sharp increase in poverty. Cos those who had the money, exited out of the system and took the money with them. The talks and lectures covered by Yukon Huang covered this topic. He basically insinuated that China actually used a lot of foreign money to uplift itself. It really just needs to turn that corner, and use those money and to reinvest it back into their own economy? Make it a circular economy.... When ratios and money reaches this high, what usually happens in other countries is that, they cut it off, and put it somewhere safe.. so that it doesn't get churned round into the circle again. That is why you see things like charities.. civic buildings.. all built and has a value, but it is not part of the economic cycle again... antiques...

  1467. To the original poster, buying a magazine to get "insights" is what most average investors are supposed to do. They are not supposed to actully make funny electronical and digtal things to "gain their shares" of the money. Judging by the responses on this thread alone.. and judging their websites and pages globally... with a so called "Call Center in Pune"... I mean.. I can estimate what actually has happened to this very reputable company. Well.. if they restructure, and let domestic Swiss bank accounts be for current accounts. And then separate their global investments be for investments. Then so be it. WHY... are people in India SUPER greedy? You tell me. Even though I class myself as a British Cantonese.. I have found that... what I am reading these days on social media... absolutely removed from the so called 9 to 5 collar jobs. So much "media" and so many "celebrities"... and not enough substances !!!!! I am now beginning to see why.. bonuses literally is paid. Cos they managed to ensure that, "point to point" transaction can happen safely... Judging from this thread... and the media chaos... They have been 1) attacked, or 2) hacked.. or 3) fallen into criminal hands. The fact that I am able to read SO many "insiders' real life perspectives" goes to show to me that, they have fallen down in a super big way. The way was never decentralised... To me, I see a lot of jealousies... what has it got to do with anybody, if somebody has an account or not in the actual bank? And even so... even if those panama papers existed. So what?? One thing I recall was being shocked... when I found out that... "journalists " could have even MORE sophisticated technologies to be able to hacked into a law firm.. Than that could protect a bank. It goes to show you that.. actually.. if you can hack it. Then.. what is the point of banking? Why don't you create your own tokens and money and play "pretend". Oh.. guess what... the US side has done that with so called "bitcoins".... Sure... sure... It is like those stories that I read...." I came from a Harvard Business School.. and I want this and this and this." Er... your study is worth a quarter of a million... What "business" can you do that can make "more"? There is no more. The average person.. actually takes around their entire life... around 20-30 years.. to earn to reach a quarter of a million. That is the ultimate truth. So what and why do people still feel jealous? For what purpose, and why do you feel jealous ???? You are already earning beyond what most people do in their entire life time. People do not realises the ratios... especially when nobody talks about it online.

  1471. You are being lied to. Cos originally, things like those "wechat".. or those "ICQs".... Those were made by other companies already, elsewhere across the globe. They used the microsoft's own software development tools and made it. It was maybe not patented, or whatever... but it was working, and tried to actually done in a certain way. So.. what happened was that, it was copied... Because the internet laws were not locked down then... and that, individuals, cannot actually do that. They stole that.. and then somehow.. they managed to "monetised" it... in a way.. which benefitted them... This is a very very famous case. Even now.. with the so called "social" media world... the PRC.. is monetising, a LOT of it as well ? And their banks are big enough too. and now Google.. is not even structured in a way which meets compliance. OR meeting.. the different jurisidiction's laws and legality.... I had no idea this was NOT so the case. At all. This is shocking. Their obsession of "sell sell sell" is way too much ? And their obsession of breeding... gazillion amount of people as well.... And inbreeding AS well... the list goes on and on and on ?? What he said about the cars... is just maybe a side example of... "this did not existed before"... Which is true. So many people, are thrown from a mere "100-200 years of evolution, under a mere 40 years".... THAT is the BEST perception of everything. China wanted to run fast. It has now reached plateau. What can you do ? But this is still not good enough for them though.

  1481.  @kyleaugustine6886  : Yeh but his cost of living is lower though. That is the ratio thing, on top of supply chain operations to get it there as well.. as well as overhead costings as well. The reality is that, that coffee should indeed be MORE expensive than it is already. The reason is that cos China, that is PRC does not have a commodities market for coffee and hence it seems like it is cheap. And they statically set the price at the point of its originally sold price point. But imagine if they did have this... then sure.. it can indeed go up as well.. like the rest of us had to pay for expensive coffee. They are kind of cheating their way out of things to be honest... That is why they want to increase that price point, but to be frank and fair.. should it be as such ??? And also, in the USA, you guys have a higher salary but how much taxes do you pay ? And you guys don't have a state medical care either like we do. We pool back our money to get this as well. Same with china. Well.. they do have free state healthcare as well.. which is the point. But whereas even though your salary is higher, you guys pay a lot more for your every day things...and what you earn, is what you need to pay. Even in Europe.. some states pay around 40-50% of their salary to the state for schools, medical care... pensions... etc etc. Even now, the UK's calculation is not enough for pensions. i.e. You need to have a state pension and a private pension and savings to see you through !!!! (This is why I hate these kind of chats about China, cos they aren't necessarily reporting explicit correct info. Everywhere you go, the range can vary from their province to their city or their states.. so it is meaningless...)

  1513.  @limkopi7350  : I think you need to actually read more roundedly... some of the so called "descendents of the Red Indians" came out to talk online recently... Some of the "natives" were actually Welsh settlers... and then they also kept themselves to themselves. Not all of them were migrants from actually Canada.. and from Siberia.. as thought of, at first. And THEY... were literally... dated far far far back, even before the First Nation (Canadian Siberians) first came about. So the so called "indigenous natives" of the USA... is not as simple as your assumption is. Welsh settlers in the United States came first. Then.. Mexican migrants from the Souther also came into the US region as well... And these people are not necessarily Siberians.... The Uighurs.... are thought to be... actually Celts.... As much as China seems to want to "protect their citizens abroad"... So now, Europeans are saying, "protect the Celts that came before you". Isn't this the SAME action from both side??? I think you will find that, it is. You are saying that, these are not "Fuijian Public Security Bureaus Police"... and that, they are there to "check" the chinese. And yet, the European union, and the UK are saying that "Oi... you have one of OUR ancestors.. on YOUR soil.. and you published this finding as well. Please back off." Original Uyghurs had beautiful eyes, and ginger hair.... And now, they look chinese !... "Hani-fied"... and I thought that the Premier is supposed to protect all the so called "56 ethnic groups" ???? How come.. the Premier states that, he supports "One country, Two systems"... and yet... he does not support that boundary and that system of Uyghurs themselves? Why did they exerted the "one rule for all" in the country and apply to them as well? Uyghurs is meant to be rural village people too, are they not? So how come... They are not subjected to supports from the government? SO... because they fall into the so called "autonomous region".... such that, a DIFFERENT sets of law applies to THEM? Isn't letting Hans chinese basically force, AND rape the locals women, so much so that.. They are now losing their autonomous statuses????? It is..... actually.... So the Mongolians, and the Siberians... the PRC respects... and yet, they do not respect the Uyghurs, or the Xinjiang region ?? Uyghurs have not increased in numbers over the years... PRC is not letting their own so called rules, to be stood by. I wrote this elsewhere before, and I shall write it here again... Forcing some of the Hans people, to live in a Uyghurs land, so that, their population will also become mixed heritage, so that, the State/PRC can take their land and their wealths??? Isn't this "perversion and greedy" in the eyes of Confucian values??? You are already rich, and you want to take your neighbours' wealth as well. Rather than living, and then take your own wealth and pass it onto your neighbour's. You get involved in a lot of debts, and then expect your neighbours to help you with theirs? Isn't this corruption and stealing? It is. Cos it means that they will have no generation in the end as well. Isn't this issue.. what made china go wrong in the first place? Taking somebody else's wealth ? Even Japan does not do this in a large scale. Nor does South Korea... So why does PRC have special privilege?? You are doing the Empress Xi thing ALL over again. THE Coup.... Ask someone to do bad work, and do not have the money to pay them. Then get them to kill the people who had money, to rob them of their money, in order to pay the people. SO.. Don't open BLANKET CHEQUES !!!! You don't have a right to do so!

  1515.  @limkopi7350  : Go where dear... I am a British Cantonese... I think you got the wrong person. QE ? WELL.... if HSBC did not squirrel away their money, and allow "poor village ladies" amount to a great big whopping amount of money.. then maybe.. we would not be in this predicament really. And yet.. we now have the Irish buying sodding chinese Primark goods. creating further distortions ! Sure... Oh, you deleted your comment?! But WHY ?!!!! --------- Writing more does not mean you have got the facts right. There are literature around to substantiate the fact of genocide Red Indians. In the two hundred over years of history, your country had been involved in wars after wars except those 20 years. The millions of death you have caused in the Middle East is well known throughout the war. You dropped atomic bombs on Japanese even though the Japanese had already lost the war. Please don't pretend to be Samaritan for you are not. Do you know that your QEs have caused hyperinflation throughout the war. If you don't understand this, please read up on economic theories. You provoked Russia to a war by moving eastwards five times despite warning from Russia. Go home! Hypocrites! The world is sick and tire of you! _____ I am tired of YOU !!!! A!!holes !!!!!! We know, the Fuijianese dispora going into Singapore... and Malaysia, and taking those criminal money WITH them... and fizzling it into the actual money pot. And NOT saving the Investment Banking sector.. YOU guys took down Wall Streets with your so called "High Street Banking" sh!ts... that dominated and RUINED the entire sodding globe... and today, you have a louder voice to tell off the rest of the sodding world ! F!ck off please. Really. Please f-off !!!! "WE ARE TOGETHER AND INTEGRATIVE WITH THE INDIANS. AND WE ARE ALL SINGAPOREANS AS WELL. AND YET, we act CHINESE." Right.. are you really "Hans Chinese" ? Like, "70%" of Han DNA ? No... you are NOT. THAT is the thing of the day.... You are not any more. Maybe you are only around like 30% or 20%... So you are no longer a Hans chinese any more.. So why do you feel that you have a say in these affairs Dear ????

  1544. Why are we in this lockdown ? Cos somebody wrote this online once? Guess what is happening in my city ? There is a lot of actual "tax drivers" before that cornered the entire city and the market. Those same people now, is in politics, and they dominate the political tier as well. At which point in time, do you have 1) the politicians being the ones with the paid job... 2) the politicians have the taxi firms... or it is THEIR families... it is either one connection, or the other one.... 3) "friends of friends"... that wants the changes to happen, cos it is "I will give you a leg up, and you better pay me back the money".... kind of thing ??? SO... if this is how it is going to work? Why even have the voting system ? Oh... the benefit system has been taken away as well now. Cos what happened ? These people cheated BOTH the system... AND the economy as well. It took me a while to figure things out.... 1) they claim the benefits... 2) they work the gig economy, and do not report this... 3) they SIT in the political tiers AS well..... I'm sorry... what exactly is an economy, again ? When it is in plain English ????? Buy and sell you say ??? Oh... Well... the people READING the news.. also now switched off the so called "advertisings"... and really let things sink in. Cos now... the Sichuan government has investments here... and the chinese are flooding here with their so called fake/public money... and then there are the overseas students who aims to get their foot in the door... Cos they assume that their eventual salary will be higher than their home salary back home, but without even working out the logistics and basic payments on living costs here. Or even taxation.... They are just fudging things, cos that had always been the way to do things, and to earn. But no taxation. And the social medias are not helping the situation... oh, it sure helps to mask the real issue, and you would not know how to fix this one. Oh yeh... there's also some murders already of lawyers... and the city thought that external money, in aid money or other, in housing refugees are a great big mix as well.... in hotels... Oh yeh. This helps a lot in the jealousy department of this entire city.

  1583. ​​ @zacharycohen9985 : Because of the internet and of social media and because of the strengthening of the UN participation and the strengthening of the CCP party ... they are making assumptions and overtaking others politically when the original ideas or promises are not and should not be this way. That is why now you see those so-called officials as having the rights ? Cos they deliberately locked the law to trap you. And this is the fault of some overseas diaspora in Singapore or from malaysia doing business inside and increased those people's powers and greed.btgeregore this is a firm of kowtow exercises. Despite the fact they are protected under the constitution. The constitution stated clearly that you are allowed to live in your community and protect your families. The interviewer also made a mistake because Hakka and Hokkien are similar and are part of the Main nam grouping. The BBC way that languages are studied and researched is not done in a similar way as the west or from some of the earlier teachers from nearby within canton province. That is why the education bureau from this angle has let the side down somewhat and are deviating.... there should be a kind of think tank collaboration. Education is nothing but merely to get the individual to find jobs. If there are state council jobs or a split of the state council to exist in HK and therefore the individuals need to speak mandarin then they ought to say so or to have explicit such schools and we know for certain and sure who would sit in those seats in all honesty then the rest should be allowed commerce or languages like Cantonese and English for the financial sectors and trades. Cos half the situation that the city is in is being manipulated here !!!!

  1591.  @RoryMacdonald-pfff  : Rory.... understand the difference between "outsourcing" to "insourcing" to "logistics" to "distribution".... if you do not understand these words or terminologies.. then please sh!t up. This is why we often state clearly... that there is the British English language, and then there is the American English language. Cos behind those words, in those respective countries are the old-aged laws.. embedded within them as well. What amazon has not done.. is to educate their own internal candidates to do the right thing. Why? Cos they tend to hire idiots... (FYI... I have worked for a good 15 years in logistics/manufacturing systems as well... and it was an American product that I worked on too. I know the sizing. The idea of what size fits what systems. And how much it can and cannot do. What they seem to have done here is already bulldozed over both the citizens.. and beyond... ) In any given business cycle... your assumption is always to grow big. But sometimes you need to focus on a small cycle. In any given chaos.. when you do not know who is and is not grabbing your market share. Then play the long game. Cos then you will know? Hold strong. Hold tight. In a mere 3 to 6 months. You will know if something is a go, or a no go. In the current climate.. 3 months is enough. The MPs are asking the correct question.. cos they want to know why their own GDPs as a nation is hit. As much as Amazon wants their productivity increased.. what about the UK's own productivity ??? It has NOT increased. Why? Where did those suppliers' tax filings gone to? so you can have an entire 20 "sole traders" "one man band".. and not pay any single tax to the HMRC ? Dream on. This is one top of the high street ones as well.. and now, people assume that they can do the exact same thing online as well.... So what... the UK has a whopping... 3 million "high street stores"... and another 2 million "online stores" ???... So basically you are selling and buying and selling and buying, to the exact same people? Isn't this like just play "tag" ??? Does any point in time, do those taxes goes into the HMRC's pocket as well? No? Just "bitcoin"??? Goodness me.... It bypasses a bank as well ? No.... goodness me....

  1592.  @RoryMacdonald-pfff  : Look.. obviously this man is wrongly hired. Cos he was asked the simple term "gig economy", and did you see his response? He responded wrongly. He did not even answered the question. He said "no".. and then he said "yes". Cos in the USA.. their terms are different. This is not the same. Gig economy is the sole trader having a business and they directly pays the self assessment tax into the treasury... I don't know when this started.. and why some people assume that this can happen as well... cos in Europe.. This is not how things were done before. We are now in lockdown. Cos there are too many "bubbles" in the system. Understand ? Many of the companies that could do the European taxations and filings already could do that. But then they justify their businesses by entering into an area that they should not. And there isn't the savvy "market competition" or "competition laws" influences any more either. So this is why.. because of those bad loopholes.. that these companies have taken.. You are now living under a heavy heavy filter... and you do not see the wood for the trees. Cos tech has taken over ? And this is why you are seeing this on "youtube"... and not on a website.. or any publications... or whatever.... Cos we won't know. And most people no longer can afford to buy any publications OR actual "TV". And then there are "filmers" doing the usual filming... to "show you this was real" kind of thing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjkLas2W32g&t=47s Do you even understand what this meeting eluded to in terms of the surveillance checking ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uReVvICTrCM&t=1s <--- Look at 1:52... THIS has been introduced by Amazon. I am appalled.

  1606. To be honest, this is VERY normal. Even Auntie was raised in the UK. During the 1980s, the North area, the entire industry collapsed. I lived in an old mining town. When the mining has disappeared, what do I need to do, to become part of the future work and the future economic development ? I have to study at university. I chose science, cos in my city, it was a metal mining town, so I learnt some equipments etc. Because auntie's father was part of the shipping industry in HK. Basically, distribution, I went on to study IT, and specialised in distribution systems... and the rest is history. Of course I was able to participate in the technology era, for my city, and for the country as well. I mostly work around the different manufacturing towns. For these ethnic minorities, I do not feel bad for them if they get priviledged options, but their work, is going to be even tougher, when they go back home, and then participate in raising the standards and to increase their own hometowns.. THIS is something which during the Mao's era, people could not do. Cos they were too ambitious. I hope that those individuals, would be able to be recruited into major big companies, and I hope that those companies, would DELIBERATELY recruit these students again, in the future, so that they too, could see their own participation in their own hometowns, and live to tell the tales for their next generation. I wish this much for them. Do something which is meaningful for yourself, and for your family. Each generation, need to help the other to keep raising the standard of living, always. Always always. Even in my uni, during my degree, many Malaysian or Singaporeans were the same. Some people had to pay private fees, some were on government subsidies, that was as designed, but.. if you take a step backwards, if my ex-uni peers, did not go home to build their homes, would SE Asia, be what it is today ? Answer is a good "no". So the Malaysian muslims got subsidies, but then again, it stopped their children rearing, even if it slowed down the growth of, say 10 to 20 years... Before they have one child. This then can lift up hygiene, medicine, etc etc. It will equalise. This is why most people NEED to listen to what is happening to their local areas !!!

  1619. The problem with HK had always been the lack of control over immigration. Even when the locals say.. or the HK Government says... that "no, you are NOT allowed to come here"... People from all over the world, still come here. They come here, cos there was a bit of a loophole in the actual gap in law. Then they end up here. And when they end up here. Most people don't work with them. Or that they cannot find work. So then they end up on the streets. So those who works, are often working in family businesses. So if they do not recognise you as "one of their owns"... just like Japan is.... Why would those people, help you? Cos you're not part of their bloodline and genology. It is this simple ? Really ? Even when the latest NSL is enacted... (and I had to think so deeply over this one)... the NSL is basically a form of immigration laws. Based on Imperial China's ideals.. coupled with so called trade laws. But those trade deals ended. So... what are people going to do ? HK cannot have around 160 million people into the city... cos of bad management of the mainland as well. Both foreigners alike, coupled with mainland chinese. ..(who assume that communism means you can go ANYWHERE in the entire "country".. but that is NOT true).... Absolutely NOT true. At all. It is like... when one city or province of people, invades another region... often the USA and the West keeps saying..."racism"... or it is a "inequalities". Er... if you see it from the perspective of those individuals. WHO are they ? WHERE are they from ? Do you kill off a civil servant of the Imperial Dynasties, over modern day isues ?!?!!?..... And then the weird articles about "triads" as well... those were the original settlers... (imperial civil servants.. dynastic descendents... etc etc etc.. and you can check that and prove it via DNAs !!!).... BEFORE the British came. BEFORE the PRC. BEFORE the Qing dynasty. Around the Ming dynasties.... I don't get what people don't get !!!!! What the NSL is about, is getting THOSE facts CORRECT !!!!!!!

First. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4bICAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false Even the above link, in a separate time, documented who the "red army" from Russia was... This is that period before the CCP party came into power. And who made them come into power? Russia released the prisoners... and they rushed into "manchuria"... These so self proclaimed "red army" killed those innocent manchus. This is what happened. What is the difference between "real" and "fake" ? In the Western world, "real" is if everybody voted you in. Fake, is if you claim something, and nobody agrees with you. In those times, who "authorised" and have the legitimate "right" to give them those powers ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3zaY3EA-80&t=574s Mao's comment on how to split the country. He suggested 27 nations. So why is there 27 nations ? Cos they are separate actual nation in its own right. Who is making out, as if china, is a single country ?? With a single government ?? Do you not think that this is the Western media's actions doing so ?? Why does it have 27 nations, and those boundaries line never move ? Do you assume that you could move in, and move out of countries, without authorisation ? Cos most of the SE Asian countries, and its citizens, often speaks up... in a way and manner that... You guys assume that there is NO boundaries. In Europe, nobody would dare to confuse UK with France, for example. If the other country lock down the border, then it is locked. They have their perogative. When you speak "national" language... Which "nation" specifically ? There is actually 27 nations. Only people who have lived in the US, or deals with UN, say "China has a national language". To many in the mainland, they have 27 nations ! Rightly so !!! THIS big gap in difference and in understanding, is what is screwing up the country now. Cos "the CCP party" and government at the state level, they signed up to WTO...(even without the endorsements from the people, or those 27 nations)... BTW..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5SE47Xjx2Q China, right this moment, is collapsing... i.e. They are experiencing, what HK did before, what Japan did before, what Malaysia did before. An actual financial crash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kcA1Woq2Z4

  1651. Ask yourself this extremely direct question... Ever since Google Map was created... 1) How many potential local small businesses could exist, but was actually killed by these large giant companies? 2) How many houses, and homes were robbed because of such tools ? 3) How much did inflation rise, due to people misusing such datas... and that, we have lost our democracies.. and OUR datas are also lost as well ? (NB: Democracy is based on, what you see in real life, is also what you see online. So how can what you see online, is not what you see offline ???? Why ? ) 4) How many "unregistered businesses"... people running literal businesses, but without registering themselves as a business, and turn into these "one man band".... have caused to the economy ? 5) How many people, using Google... have NOT paid their taxes, and just assume that..."this is a job, and I can use this tool" ? 6) How many employees are employed by Google? 7) How many billion dollar buildings have they got, based off the hardwork or "marketing sales".... that they personally own ? Isn't it around like 3 or 4 across the globe ? 8) How much tax, and regulation, has google avoided paying ? How many laws, that should have been created, but was avoided, to keep the soveignty of the individual/citizen.. but was violated, cos Google pay these politicians to persuade them NOT to regulate them ? An example: What happens.. if a country, is of around 7 million people, and ALL 7 million people... literally are all "one man band" ? And then they all compete for the SAME market share? and yet, they refuse to buy their competitor's products or services ? People stopped spending. What happens ?

  1674.  Chilean Cowboys  : Bloody hell ! Have you read what Daniel Dumbrill wrote ?! WTF !!! Chi sin !!! Try and get THIS translated then ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3zaY3EA-80&list=PLjSIHCoR9kYof3pyGuxDCyUddxwYbsXZf&index=2 The "Nationalists" were the real Hans Chinese, wanting to reunite the Hans China Proper. The so called "War Lords" were the civil servants. The people who were gifted the land, kind of like the Lord and the Lady titles in the UK. They already existed, before some idiotic people came along and declare the country belongs to them. This is why Chiang did not have to do very much in order to raise people to help him. Cos they all followed the same desire. To see the country be united. And this meant, away from the tribes, which did not form China. Who then tried to bring Tibet, The North-West, which was Manchu.. all under one ? The Nationalists did not want this. This is NOT their desires ! Once you allow your enemies to actually erode the boundaries, as well as the people, in blood, and in bloodlines.. what else do you have left ? Nothing. You have nothing left. And this is what happened. Due to the influence of the US, who the Manchus or the Japanese, owe money to. Did Japan paid for the war in the end, or the damage to the Manchus ? Who were the bonds, that the US keeps threatening ?? Who helped the Russian rise ? And then the Russian took away the army tools left in Manchuria... and then the Communist, swooped in ?? Is it cos the "West" or the US saw the rise of the North-West, so much so that, they didn't want Russia to get stronger ? That they concentrated with the South, or to help the Japanese then ? Didn't US bombed Pearl Harbour to push back the Japanese ?? Funny how things came around... and now, the narratives is this ? At least those reporters have decencies... Meaning they are honest about their intention and their actions. Funnily enough, it was Sun Yat Sen, who met with Hitler... and it was Hitler who killed the Jewish people. And it is the Communist.. who believed in that Jewish ideology... and influences of Marx.... Communism was on the rise across the globe. Going against the idea of a nation as well. So much so that, most people were against it. Cos in the end, it was a Russian ideology. You guys have a nerve to twist history now.

And then deal with issues. So... I just realised that somebody has been messing around with my energy... I didn't even know that my energy supplier no longer deals with the actual pricing itself. So therefore... when I looked back in my bills.... I had... I jumped from... a mere.. 800 per year... for a single person.. to a whopping 1500... (Which, at this point, I thought it was SUPER HIGH !!!!!! ).... And now.. into an actual.... 2500 per year !?!!?!!?!!!!!..... And that is because there is a LOT OF... high rises, that is super empty in my city. I don't wish to pay THIS MUCH !!! This is NOT acceptable at all ???... I ought to be paying for what I used !!!!.... But that is NOT the case. I was reading about how the likes of National Grid literally uses these kind of national systems.. and that they averages things out.... So... How can I be using this much ? It means that I am paying for other people's usages as well.. and they did that by devolution deal as well !!!!... That is CRAZY. I want euthanasia on the NHS. Cos I don't want to handle this any more. Enough is enough. Everywhere I go, are rejections after rejections and rejections.., or harassments, and corporation harassments etc etc etc. I actually think that I might have genetic dementia as well.. hence.. I felt so low and slow, especially after 2 operations.... I cannot even remember a lot of things, unless I have people that keeps ranting at me to remind me etc etc.

  1682. Oh my God.... I am similar too. My pension was basically robbed by one of you guys in the states. I had no idea at that time why.. we had to outsource to American equity firms. So.. out went our pension pots as well. And then the UK government stepped in to intervene. Cos basically it was cash rich. You guys robbed us. Today... I see those in power now. I bet that, they orchestrated those decisions... Didn't Rachel Reeves worked for BOE back then ??? Robbed Mike to give to Rachel. That is how it is... The things I remember... I remember my auntie... went crazy... lectured with my mother.. about the fact that.. I was..."really bad and cannot hold down a job".. Even now,.. in recent years, into my 30s and my 40s... I hear these kind of shouts.. The number of times that one wants to kill themselves in immense. What do I do ? Call the police? The police won't come. They would just shove it under the carpet.. cos the economy is picking up. I know how they think. It is inevitable isn't it ? Bury your head in the sand.. and you would be able to forget about that. For my mother.. I think she eventually stated clearly.... "It is okay, if you do not marry. That is fine." When she could see that, MANY couples.. in HK stayed married but did not have kids... and were trying to save money, cos they have experienced many many MANY financial crashes... (I bet they were hacked, in hindsight. Or that it was a government thing. Cos how could they have crashed so many times?) ... People lost a lot of money, many times over. Wasn't those the Asian Tiger days ???..... The current situation is extremely artificial... The world is a 7 billion population. So... I mean. Now I see both of my cousins... one with two kids. Really young. But he just spent his savings on some machine before lockdown, which he can never get his money back on. The other one, with two kids as well, and a little bit saved up. I do not know what will turn the corner... When you are in a small community you know exactly what needs to be done. But when you are into a globalised world... You do not know which way to turn ????.... The internet really helped people AND brought them down too.

  1691.  @TheETchild  : Wrong. HK belongs to the Ming's Emperor... and if you looked into the old chinese traditional civil servants and edicts.. you will find their name on those maps and location. And who owns those land. So how can Ming's civil servants' LAND... be given away by Qing's civil servants ? At all ? This is what most historians now in HK disputes.. So then, the local HK Government talk about meeting UN or meeting UK's and foreign countries' obligations... But why ?.... Well... those so called obligations... met with a chaotic routine as usual... like, a LOT of it !.... And because of this influx of money (and let us be honest here... WHO in the overseas' diapora, did not send money back home to rebuild?).... And those money that used to go back home.. was to support the actual army.. to raise the Ming's armies... to take down the Qing's armies... And yet, today in 2022.... the USA is now turning back on supporting that Ming's angles... in return to the so called Qing's angle... and the so called Eight Nation's angle... and the UN... and uses THIS angle to suppress the Ming's people. THIS.. it also dangerous... Cos it is NOW incubating an even BIGGER problem inside China itself....!!! Russia doesn't want to drag out that Chinese chaos into global arenas... but they are doing so now...!!!!... This is NOT what you want to do. Those so called "armies" were once upon a time.. scholars.. as in. academic scholars.. The "fighters" are today's Shaolin people... and the so called "triads".... or whatever it is now described. Those were the Imprial Dynasties Heros... to keep the different Imperial Dynasties... and their boundaries.. to be back intact. It is like the current situation now with Russia.. and so forth. Should that boundary be moved? No, it should not. So why expect these various chinese boundaries to move to begin with ?! Absolute tosh !!!!

  1694.  @Tedmason897  : There was an actual LSE lecture that stated..."inequality across the world has risen, but inequality in the UK, we need to do more research about".... Well... I do not know whether it is the fact that I have a different PC, but other PCs of laptops that I have had in the past, have all shown me a biased worldview. Maybe it was deliberate, or maybe it was not. When you see, actual people... who actually comes into the UK, and then use the benefit system.. and then goes back home as well. There is a LOT of people, who also buy a house here, from cash... and I think even ITV have shown... a case of a woman, who has been here since 2004... without any legal papers any more. Maybe their visa ran out, or whatever. But that... how could she end up 1) with a business, and 2) with a family, a husband ... and a nanny that has no visa, and still cannot speak English???!!! Even I myself is like the 3rd generation migrant? with my grandfather coming into the UK via HK... even before the formation of the PRC... and it is now that I myself, into the third generation could speak fluent English. I want to ask... exactly, how does the immigration test supposed to work? When there is a lot of cheating going on? And then people continue to feel sorry for these cases? We used to have a community centre, but my mother knows that we cannot continue to rely on others forever... So now, how can you actually expect, others... there are a lot of chinese nationals too, whom, are NOT the responsibility of the British government. (Search for the YT account of Andrew Tse... and watch what he says about the past.)

  1698.  @yffrendy7618  : Just how f!cking dare you ??? PRC only formed in 70 years ago. Even then, there is no single "country" !!! Even when Mao formed, he wanted to control the entire region which is current today. But you have to remember this. Mao was nothing. He was a nobody. There never WAS any actual single country. This is the point !!! Each areas had their own nations. It has and have had actual armies, their own civilised grouping. Mayors, or Armies or Civil servants, or whatever it may be. Some of the English text which you read today, they called it "war lords". Er.. NO....!! Not all of them were illegitimate !! For a nothing, to turn into the single control... This argument is falling apart. The language is not even the "single language", cos you are under the assumption that there had been. But there has never been a single country ! You are spreading more and more and more lies, until these people forget who they are... until that point in time, then you are trapped ! Goodness me !!! Chi sin. Who the hell can do this. The US has an agenda to "force" people into the "single country concept". Cos they lie about how much China owns them in terms of bonds. And they are assuming that the so called Qing Dynasty run the entire country. But in reality, it did not. Cos even some areas rejected this, and they fought off the enemies !!! Good for them !!!! And it is not that those people have NOT forced off these enemies, cos they have ! Why do you think that some people keep saying things like "push back"... How can you force 1.4 billion people to be under a "single country" ??? They live within their rightful nations !!! And his classification is also wrong. It is his kind of "foreigners info", which seems to allow and enable some of you ignorant overseas chinese to lap up this narrative. I am glad that SOME people inside the country does not agree with you ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4C9PufXNis&t=398s Am so glad that these people read the original papers... even before PRC was formed. Even before actual CCP was formed. Did you think that some people did not existed before these entities were formed ?? I think you misunderstand that some people are running under a government. CCP is more like a private gentleman's club... and they hoard the salaries of so many citizens in the country. Did you know this ???

  1699.  @yffrendy7618  :That video link.. it talked about how the rise of communism existed... And how that a Jew went into North China.. to try and to find people to follow communism. So they found some. And they tried to want the desire to make or to build things together. It was a political idea group only. It has no absolute power, and nor have they actually got any legal rights !!!! That link, is talking about betraying China. Who betrayed China to begin with. Who let in the Russian ideas.. and then to overthrow some of the chinese ? During the Qing Dynasty as well.. even some Hans Chinese were killled in those banners. Did you also know that, the Dutch, who came into the shipping areas, were also Jewish as well ??? If I take a big step backwards, it seems like that the so called Chinese were mostly used by the Jews than anything, to make them rich more. That is how I see it. Whatever you guys are taught in chinese schools in SE Asia.. I'm sorry... but I bet it is selective. Cos why would anybody tell you such things ? Only a real city in the mainland, would teach these subjects. That link, the topic which they are talking about.. is about taught in HK schools as well, in the DSE subjects. Even Japanese are taught about the history of China too. And how Japan was really an Ally in Northern/Russian areas.. and how they were contributary towards the Russians. If there were not relationships kept, then Japan would not have sent their imperial army in to help the Manchu reinstate Puyi.... Only to allow Communism rise.... and they stole the Japanese' left over army tools, to kill the manchus. A lot of Northern Chinese, ran downwards to the South. There had always been a North and South line and boundaries. This is a known line. Classified as the "Hu Line". So when you say and talk in a manner as if there should NOT be a line. This is a big joke. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_and_southern_China#/media/File:Qinling_Huaihe_Line.png Great Wall of China, was also a wall to stop the tribes from the North-East to invade into China Proper.

  1701.  @yffrendy7618  : Do you know why people are angry ? Because the people who spoke a different dialect, or a language, is the OWNER OF THEIR OWN LAND. It is from invasion and from migration (basically running away from your own designated hometowns), which has allowed people to be more demanding, and bully the original settlers in those regions. I do not care.. if you are Chiu Chow person. But Canton should speak Cantonese, and speak Yue. I spoke weitou when I was a child, but it sounds a lot like Yue/Cantonese. This is the major group sound and tone and language. Taiwan had a SMALLER population of Min speakers, but majority of the people were actually FROM the Canton region. Cos the aboriginal settlers WERE from Canton. There is even an actual DNA trace, and settlers from those regions. So how can Northerners invade the entire country and call it their own, when the settlers who came first, were the Southerners !?!?!! Even carbon dating items, showed that those items from the South came first, before the North appeared. And now, people are claiming "Korean/Mandarin" as the real Hans Chinese ! Er....!!! You mean erosion of people and their language is how you actually control the power of the country ? I bet you that the US wanted a "single country". I bet you that the West wanted a "single country".. Er... the entire country had many provinces which is the size of an European country !!!!! So DO NOT SPEAK FOR OTHERS !!! Thanks to bad classification, so many children today of the South, are BULLIED EVERY DAY !!! BULLIED THROUGH AND THROUGH !!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Atlas_of_China They get so bullied and ghosted that, they do not even dare admit to their own language.... People can just F OFF. This is why there should not be a "single country" !!! Sun Yat Sen will turn in his grave.. Those Southerners who were also sent abroad to dig for gold and to work manual jobs.. Only to be claimed as the ones who came from Fuijian.. and so forth. Like, our legacy did not matter, and was not true. All of the historical histories, twisted, to make them look good, and we look bad. Get the facts right first ! "Hakka/ Hokkien / Teow Chew " - are ALL forms of Min language group. There has been a lot of developments in Hong Kong and the South, cos it had its own provincial governor for years and years and years.... Only for people to erase this history. Janssen here, thinks that, he can speak ABOVE those collective groups of around 30 to 70 million people, all around the South. Well done stupid Janssen ! For raising a subject that he has zero clue about !!! "Oh, you should speak the "majority NATIONAL language as well"... Er... F OFF !!!!!! If it was not for this lock down and the internet, and this social media generation now, I would NOT know, how much Cantonese people have been bullied at all !!! And all of this talk about splittist attitude and HK etc. And all of these sudden Malaysian and Singaporean dipsticks, coming out talking in Mandarin as well... As if they own the world... Sorry, but please back off. Trade is just trade. Do not erase someone's family-tree, their identity, their language, and their intimacies with their families. What trash. Selling their soul for money. The expectation seems to be somewhat high ! No wonder people used to kill others for their invasion... Janssen does not think that he is invading. This is the ignorance !!!

  1702. If people looked at this map, "China Proper" is shrinking. The invasion of the Mongols, during the Yuan dynasty, has allowed the spread of this mix match of a language, to be eroded into the entire country. Some people did not agree with this kind of tribal invasion. Some people assume that they are the same people. But if they have been kicked out of the Great Wall boundary and lines, are they really the same people ?? Er... They are not, and even DNA dating and checking shows that they are not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Atlas_of_China#/media/File:Map_of_sinitic_languages_full-en.svg This kind of trickery has been going on for centuries... It is no wonder in Guang Xi... People do not kowtow to this kind of thing, cos they protect their land, and they protect their heritages. GOOD for them. So many people assume that so many citizens "should" speak Mandarin. There is no "should" !!!! It is time that there need to be a boundary line between North China, and South China, this is enough. Enough is enough. Cos it is no longer China any more, than it is a mongolian state. One big mongolian state. Enough. People can F off. The amount of harm that so many people have done to the people, for centuries... And sometimes those Malaysians, who have once migrated away from their own towns.. do not even accept the fact that, they should not speak a second dialect, that is not their own. They adopt, and assume that they should and ought to be influenced by that. It is wrong. If you cannot get a job not being able to speak Cantonese, then you are eliminated. Then it means someone else will get the job. This is as designed ! You do not see people kicking up a fuss in Europe. People will just back off ? And if there is a genuine need, then there would always be a translator to be hired ? But oh no... People get more and more and more greedy. Even when government policies wanted certain languages to be promoted and certain areas to exist. This is like, taken away. If someone do not speak mandarin, it just means that they want to stay in their local areas !!!! What is wrong with this choice ?! Let them choose !!! Japan does not have this problem ! Korea does not have this problem ! (Japan and Korea have been protecting their own family-tree for CENTURIES !!!!) Whereas, SOME people in this thread, is talking about STEALING SOMEONE ELSE's FAMILY-TREE and heritages !!!! I AM NOT A KOREAN, OR A MONGOL ! I SHALL NOT PRETEND TO BE ONE !!!!!! I WILL NEVER BE A MONGOL !

  1704.  匿名者Anonymous  : HK had democracy, because at that time, it was under the Commonwealth framework. And because it was under the framework , all the policies to uphold democracy existed. For example, the ICAC was created. It checks the corruption level within the City. Yes, by right, it could operate like an actual local council, which we have in the UK. But it did not. It was quite a high level.. and later when he built up his educated (remember, the city had NO universities before)... groups of civil servants, then this is whereby he slowly transitioned to give THEM both a job, a salary, and also a way to reform and create a circular economy. The thing which went wrong, is for the wealth of HK, to be sucked into the mainland China. And this, even though this did happen... today, PRC does not 1) acknowledge this phenomena, and 2) does not even appreciate this. The sales going out of HK.... China, does not recognise !!!!!! Do you expect people to actually feel good about such comments? No. They don't, and won't. And so many of us, who and lived abroad, still buying chinese goods. Even though it means that it will hit at us economically.... The audacity of people today inside PRC. Really. If you are looking at a baddie... and a goodie... think about if you have been the bad person in the first place. What Pattern said in this interview, is correct, in a RELATIVE way ! He did not go into explaining, at which point in time, did documents were signed and so forth. Those of us, who WERE in that period of time, and lived THROUGH it.... only knows too well.. how it goes. Yes, talking about such things, seems to conflict with so many media/AI/tech companies in china.. and what they are trying to achieve. But still.... hasn't china transitioned into animation, video gaming, hostings, and FinTech already ?????

  1708. Let us also not forget that... back in those days.. days of trades.. whereby there was a "chinatown"... Many of these people were not related, or from the same province. Some data and info are now uploaded online from some civil servants/academics from HK side... And I realised now.. one adding one... the people whom... Let's just say that, not everybody were married off. Forcing women to be with the traders.... never ended in marriages. So how come.. Liverpool Council... broadcasted those "deportation" as a form of "racism"... and not a case of "I kicked out these men, cos they raped the women" situation? How can Corbyn assume that, he, a single man band, could "unite" an entire group of people, when the very people harmed you, or your family? Throwing social services, or throwing women's lib... Yes, I was raised in a Labour city with my family around me. But no, I do not necessarily wanted to be forced to be lumped together with certain people. If he did not insinuate and forced people, and then let them discover which party they want to join. Then the results, and the antagonism would not have existed... Obviously the politicians who often say things like..."it matters not where you came from, but where you want to go in life, and the aspiration is why you should join". Obviously THOSE people READ the reports ! The TRUE reports ! When American tech media, uses hash metoo, SOME media and idiots, and pratts still do not get it. (Sorry, they still need to make a living, obviously... and keep the economy going. Yes, we are not worthy, and we shall be trampled on. Either way.)

He has lived a blessed live. But how many people can do the same as he does? It means that, they have to face adversities.. like strong ones.. as well as actually to go upwards. I am today, a broken woman. A broken woman of 45. At school.. I had to learn English. As well as Cantonese as well. In schools.. I had to be forced to learn Spanish, French, German... at the age of around 14-16 years old. Imagine that. For GCSE level. And THEN... at pick one for certification. I chose German. Never mind this. I was "encouraged" to do a STEM subject. What do I want ? I want to maybe actually.... I wish I lived a blessed life. Raised into money, and not have to put myself through such hardships... and be awarded and rewarded for things. Today? Today, I see so much chaos... infighting, various antagonisms. Never mind being used to scapegoated for economic issues. Personal emotional issues. Political and current affair issues. Always rant rant rant rant. Sorry.. but am I not a person? With feelings? Only mugs like myself follow through. I do not see so many people in the UK, having to force to learn THIS many languages AND to make it through.... Most people, already has their ancestor's pensions or inheritances behind them, and not have to "make it in life from scratch". MANY of these immigrants do not know that. And to be fair, I see it AS a trap. A REAL TRAP. I get anxieties.... insecurities... doubtfulness... Everything. One is never good enough for anything. So when will it be? I used to not mind. But in recent years with exposures to "social" media... I think I founded my actual real voice. I can now speak GREAT English ! Finally putting those sentences together. The other thing is also that, we don't even prosecute those meddling media people. The ones who spams me with music, or the ones that spams me with a murderous ex's contact details, and connects me back to his profile, and his numbers AND everything ! Don't tell me that was because of Yahoo being sold to China, and that they could do this kind of sh!t. And why has China now reprimanded their own people for actually and literally RUINING lives of those that lives abroad ?!!?! Imagine.. my ex... became an actual paedophile... He had lots of women, underneath him, and plastered ALL over Facebook.... HALF NAKED PICTURES. Under 16.

In your average life time.. spend time to do all of those three? You just skipped PCs... and jumped from "farmers to software engineers"... Some of the people do not even know how to catch the train... never mind know how to use a mobile phone. With influx of money... yes.. a person cannot learn everything and anything... but still... in other countries. Especially the US and the UK. People do that every single day. They may farm and do gardening for a hour every day. Then they go to the office, and the office could be for software engineering. Then they might just fix their own DIYs as well. Do paintings or house clearances. Cleaning. EVERY SINGLE FAMILIES Do this. What do people do in China ???? 1 - Play online games. 2 - Argue to strangers online, from across the globe. 3- Act and pretend to be stupid, even though they are an adult and is 18 years old. 4 - Blame somebody else, other then themselves. 5 - Get involved in other countries' discussions.. when they are speaking to their local politicians, and votings and things.. and you wade in. (This is moronic.) 6 - Complain that, Amazon and selling... and Single Day's Sales.. is not good. Not making money. Not good. Not good. Well... there are too many factories... already! 7 - Do not get to see those foreign videos about waste floating in other countries' rivers, and still want to "sell abroad"... Er... They are already using items made from chinese factories already. It is being sold and used for like the 3rd hand.. and the 4th hand already. It is too much already. You did not know this? 8 - There are around 1.2 billion people inside China.. and their policies still want them to have more kids. You guys have the highest amount of people.. and is the entire world's factories. Everything is made from China.. and you are STILL not happy... Why? Why are you not happy ? Why ???..... You have made too much already. So why make even more? It is too much. 9 - Other countries actually are bankrupt already. They have no more money. Why? Cos they have spent it all on you. It is too much already. It is done. Give it up. Enough.

  1739. The items from Summer Palace were stolen back.. So now you expect the USA to actually continue to feed the PRC ? What is wrong with you ! You have so much money, and you never solved the feeding issue ???!!! So instead of finding and using the technologies to actually farm better food.. you are using these to actually fight, and to use these tech to fight another country and conquer ! Japan was starving and entered into starvation post second world war... and everybody tried to help the country to feed itself. That is why USA became a mega big farm land, but still.. Should the USA be the farm pool for China, always ? So why don't you integrate USA to become a part of the PRC then !!!! You're meant to become independent, and curb the population growth. It has been like that before, and it is the same now. China has a 1.4 BILLION population !!!! USA is only 300 million people. There is not enough food for everybody, and even if there is enough for one generation, there is not enough for the NEXT generation !!! When the UN was created, it was created because it is supposed to help one another and to feed people.. But should that mean that everybody needs to steal and let birth rates get out of hand ????? Chi sin.... 20 years ago... the globe, before the internet was just around a mega 6 billion people... and now ? The world is now around 7-8 billion people under 10 years. Cos people assumed that the world is finite. i.e. Will always have unlimited resources, but in truth ? The truth is... the same clothes made in China , say around 1980s, is still circulating round the world. As in, it has been resold like the 5th time.... Most people in the West, don't own own those things for sure. It goes through time, and sometimes, they don't even keep it.

  1779.  @james_aurora  : Beause Shanghai was an export city. It has always had shipping. So... and this is why they would be able to transact in foreign currency. Especially with big banks like HSBC. So by export city, we mean that, you stay and live in the city. Other sellers come to this city and sell it in the city with other buyers. That was how trade was done before. Merchanting. This kind of work, does NOT exist in ALL areas of the PRC. That is why.... and anyway, it is too complicated... But the banks inside China now has kind of also changed as well. And one of the HSBC's CEO... Laura Cha... she herself is some kind of old imperial elite. I didn't realise that before. But anyway.. she now sits in the government's position. i.e. State council representative or other. Don't know if she takes a salary or not. Isn't it weird that people like that could do so ? Despite there being laws about political heads cannot work in the financial sectors etc etc. And yet, she could and ends up being inside political posts. Along with her what... her pensions from those previous jobs as well ? So that effectively makes her what.... A chinese elite that has a lot of pensions from other people who banks with those companies ??? So we are her serfs effectively ? lol..... OMG indeed, right ?.... Assuming everything was made in China. So that makes her end up seeing as a form of .... administrator for the past 70 odd years. And isn't it funny that, her English profile is different to her chinese profile as well ?

  1816.  @ucsdvc  : If the Old Tang Code existed, he would have had his head chopped off already. Death penalty was abolished in recent years. That is because, nobody knows who is whose land and on which piece of turf. If this is your hometown, and heung ha.. then you would always be welcomed. But if you are not.. then you would not be so. As in bloodline, kind of "right of abode". Ms Yip kind of confused the issue here somewhere.. or somehow... And this whole notion of..."are you chinese" is also in question too.... Cos some of the "right of abode"... does not have chinese parents. At all. not any more. So therefore they should not have an actual residency. Especially some of the Thais or the other SE Asians.... they are hoarding their places in HK only. China does not accept dual nationalities. And by nationality, they mean, an ancestor that is and was an actual Chinese elite. From the old dynasties.. basically. THAT is what they mean !!!!! THIS is what people meant by Human Rights Act. What has ended as.. is that, people are not even allowed to go back to their ancestral homes... And this is why even Taiwan is kicking off too... One of their so called politician deliberately made a point.. by entering into the mainland, to find his ancestors' grave.. and then to clean it. This was broadcasted ALL over the Chinese media... And I bet this was not even shown in Western medias at all..... And it definitely was NOT actually said in the likes of SCMP either !!! (Even THAT papers has been hijacked too !!!!!! ) It was set up by a high level Mr Tse... who was an old Dynastic Scholar... and today, who is sitting on this paper? It should be family owned !!!!! And not have CCP sitting on it at all ????.... Or they should have hired their next of kins and descendents instead... and not to be used this way by American owners or whatever... and making waves either. This is absolute trash. The Alibaba and the Tencents is owned or has the Ma's family name. So how come the old SCMP.. is not and does not have the Tse's families sitting in there ????

  1820.  @hughjohns9110 : WELL... that is the thing too... because each country see themselves as separate. And yet, their influx of people actually IS an actual hit to the economy as well. And the wages. So how does that work out then? You tell me. And yeh... let's talk about the so called cheap goods from China then. So yeh.. chinese factories and their businesses closed down. Why? Cos they too have heavy competitions. And therefore, their fall out rate is even a lot higher. So what do they want to salvage ??? If you want to make something work and to flow slowly... then monitor the situation.. You can't do global and do local as well. How does that work out then ??.... And I had thought that, when the early 1990s... allowed us to expand globally.. or basically capitalised onto the old British commonwealth network.. WELL..... It's like... EU putting a tariff to contol things is correct. Cos they signed deals.. which really just messed up everything, basically. (And don't forget that, the existing supermarkets which we have... like Tesco.. at first, they expanded into Europe to hold the fort... and then.. it ended up in China ??? With their so called PLA's pension funds? How does that work out then ??.... Along with cheap goods from them as well ??? Who loses out? And now, they control our interest rates cos they hold a lot of our currencies... ER.....!!!!!!...... ) For the record, I voted remain... and reading this thread, I had no idea that there were so many actual sole trader type companies actually... and gazillion amount of people, not doing proper export and import control. I had no idea that they could do that. Saying that.. the same is now.. also the same too.. in SE Asia... or maybe they tried to formalise, but people aren't having it. How odd that.. in a single generation, we reversed the way the world works.

  1822. How about changing this situation around ? Excessive greed from the mainland.. has targetted and worried other foreign countries to the extent that Mr Lai and his company is being used here as a scapegoat and a pawn in the game of powers that exists inside the PRC and the mainland. Despite.. China.. growing for years... and did not have an issue.. and now he is thrown under the bus, cos suddenly... the PRC decided to put the World Bank's so called capitalism and prediction ABOVE the needs of genuine Chinese people. And the courts are treating him.... to be used... allowing foreigners.. to put HIM and to take HIM down... against.... his rights, as a Chinese National... Money is man-made. Capitalism is a mere concept !!!!!!! This man CANNOT die and he CANNOT be jailed !!!!! And USA is a relatively NEW country as well !!! How about that.... and it is insane that.. a newish country.. can take down the old country, that is China. Absolutely rubbish ! And PRC is also new too. So now, we see old elites like him... that is, a genuine old country.. being targetted to "modernise" !?!!!!!..... This is NOT acceptable !!!!!!! ..... It is like seeing Russians... or Northern elites... trying to actually bulldoze over the entire country ? Which we know. for certain. And all these comments as well.. about China.. taking over HK etc etc etc.. It has always been China. And PRC is NOT China !!! Using these kind of word games.. playing and offsetting people as well.. and mis-neglecting.. and deliberately misleading as well.... Enough.

  1827.  @rukia6090  : If you can get to 400 characters, you can live and do daily chores and socialise already. 4000 or 3000 is because as kid, adults try to give them everything and try to teach them everything in case when we past as adults then the heritages would be lost. So kids are expected to be doing this anyway. Some of it are also based on Chinese literatures which is not used everyday in a laymen way. So unless you want to become an elite Chinese politicians and references history all of the time and use old Chinese in an every day way.... I don't think you really need 3000 or 4000. Get to 400 or 800. Then pick up the rest like most people do. Which is using a dictionary. To expand. And you would always work in teams even when in a company anyway, but progress is just slowly edging things in. So.... Just to keep things together is important. The problem with HK is that the most educated people are leaving cos they don't agree with the politics. So you get a high turnover of staffs anyway. And I am sure this IBEL CEO is laughing his heads off. But his failing grace is that he was not active and did not participated in politics. He should've pushed his students a lot harder to also bear the burdens too and then slowly integrate with the rest of society and run a side online course this way. But doing his way ends up splitting up useful resources that could have been utilised in other ways for society. I.e. to protect the elderlies or to see through life and death together. Right now... I get that the ethnic minorities won't think about deaths. They only think about life. I.e. what I can get out of living life. Not what do I need to finish off and do before my death.

  1829. Britain did have "elections". Cos they had local representatives that did things.. and it was paid positions too... as far as I recall.... They were called "Functional Groups".... and reps come together to discuss thing. Ask anybody about this !... So why are people saying that this was not as so !!!!! .... The problem is that, those who were both in functional groups.. and then the reps... it is meant to equalise the society. But now.. it looks like, there is no equalities. Some people took advantages and ran off even. Or so. This is why nobody seems to care any more. Cos they don't "respect" the existing people. Why the people "respected" others were basically because they were also related in one form or another too. and so therefore doing business, which meant it raises both yourself and your families too. (And also extended families too.) So when more of the mainland individuals came over.. a lot of the people kicked off... cos it was intruding on their own hometowns. (By right... this is an old traditional law as well... with regards to families.) So some historians are saying that, the old chinese laws existed. As well as the Western laws in parallel... and hence the "one country, two system" concept came about... and the subsequent latter group of people... are using English to marginalise, and to manipulate the finance part.. which is ruining these basic concepts.. and even the old Chinese laws as well... THIS is why people are kicking off too. Cos they arranged their lives to be supporting such things !!!! And the current so called "Funds"... (a fund, can be actually ran by a child, somebody that is not even 18 years old?)... And these so called "Family Office"..... which is like... when was this introduced? It did not existed befor ein the past. Especially where merchant tradings were concerned. So how come the locals did not have these family offices, and were respected... but they are forced to become actual "indigenous"... and then... the merchants... their wealth were absorbed by the financiers??? Why the inequalities here? Do we need to bring back in lineage laws, in order for people to back off here ???????? Cos this is what Japan has created. And South Korea has created too... and even in Taiwan, they don't say it.. but I know that they have implemented such things too... and have so called "army ex leaders" to push back sometimes.. when they deviate. Same with Japan. Their so called ex-samurai/landlords/Yukuta......

  1880.  @dexterroy  : Everybody always blame the past old Empires of this issue.... And if you think about how big the British Empire was.. the first thing that they created was healthcare. So many Chinese people also did not know this either. And nor did they practised abortions. So for the chinese history.. they used to "kill" off those who were unmarried or unruly. It was the British that "liberated" them. This is why... China denoted and reduced the number of death penalty clauses to be super low. But in actual fact, they SHOULD increase the death penalty once again. To control this issue. Cos it is not like they did not have this issue before. It is uncontrolling economically... and socially.. and emotionally as well. People being raped, left, right and centre. And all of this so called "communal shared-wealth". This ain't happening, sorry !!! As to India... you guys need to create a super healthcare ! Each time that you reduce and have an abortion. Maybe the government needs and should provide an incentive. i.e. a form of bond or future insurance... you know ? And maybe it is also time that, you guys thought about merging together your family trees. Rather than to continually expand... Cos Japan did that. And they created titles... Even under a mere 100 years.. they grew to around 100 million people... from 40 million.... So what happened to India and to China? With the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.. you guys lost focus? Even at the height of the British Empire... Britain only had around 100 million people.. You know?? HOW is the world going to survive ?!!?!?....

  1893.  @ER1CwC ; It is time that HK addressed the actual immigration issues that they are encountering? Time to truly deal with this as well ? Really, it is time. What does France's own political affairs have anything to do with HK's political affairs ? France also had an actual big colony as well... and it is now having the exact same issue as HK is doing.. with the people unhappy, and the colony's own people moving into France, which is fine. But then they aren't exactly gelling and working together either, which they should do and should have done so. But why ??? Even if a society is declining, they don't need migrants, that is if they don't actually have any kindof financial transaction or weight by other people. Just like, Japan has managed well here.. and their people work very hard to sustain this as well. They literally have a formal immigration process too. As in you cannot become Japanese either. So how come.. HK's immigration process has fallen over? Including their financial sectors as well ? Why ? Japan did not have this happened to them.. and yet, HK's become as such ? Why ???? HK have always had immigration control !!!!! I don't even understand why illegal immigration has ended up as actually becoming a "free for all" ?! It never used to be like this at all !!! Everything has gone downhill since 1997 !!!!!!! NOBODY was allowed freely to ENTER or to leave !!!!! So why do the individuals that moved back into HK or those that is in the civil service or the government dept assumes and thinks that this is OKAY ?!!?!?!!!!!!..... It is NOT OKAY !!!! HK before 1997, only had around 3000 high rises.. It now has around 9000 high rises, and it is EMPTY !!!! EMPTY BUILDINGS !!!!!! It does not and cannot even afford to keep those buildings !!! Chinese law stated clearly, if you are from this place, then this is your hometown. THE END. I am beginning to understand why Carrie Lam was in power.. same as Li Ka Chiu... actually. Both of their ancestral graves ARE in HK... So why should they NOT be in those positions ???....

  1917. What really should happen... is that... Union joins Amazon.. or somebody inside Amazon handles this. They take those feedbacks.. especially the ones that employees can sue the company for. Implement some of those changes. Secure their position first. Then deal with the profits and losses. And HMRCs CAN give individual company's exemptions.. but they do NOT deserve any exemptions... if they literally.. just... increase the NHS's budget. I didn't even know that they get so many calls out during Oct/Nov time as well.. that is a lot of pressures put onto our own NHS's budgets as well. F!ck... I never knew this. Secure those people first.. so that they can survive.. (They themselves can end up being customers of amazon too, you know. So killing them off is doing what? Killing your own market shares as well ? Always think about the 300 million population of Europe.. but does not secure the basics first?) Roll back some of the tech if they must. Stabilises the UK's business unit first. Europe also have a drop shipping mechanism anyway. They have literal taxation exemptions. And even this aspect is not actually installed for them... judging from what I can see. Why? Cos they're not an European-compliant logistics firm. That is why. Different countries, different laws. These people just don't... Literally.. you can have an actual meeting with HMRC about delay taxation payments and whatnots etc.. But not this way. Sorry.. but not this way. Don't tell me that they started doing this "bribary" thing which the USA likes to do. Which is to throw "donation" and lobby... lol.. No wonder Ian Hislop had an absolute goat. Really. I bet that, these Americans also doesn't know that Ian his father also had his own business before as well? Many of us living in the UK, had parents that were business owners too... So how can we NOT know when the laws changed !!!! This kind of mick-taking is just.. Absolutely trash. All of this American technology with the Chinese mobiles backing it up.. to brainwash us... I mean... They need to roll back some of these systems as well.

  1944.  @coryavila01  : Because to them, it was about following orders. Cos if you don't follow orders, then you don't get paid. If you don't get paid, then you would end up poor. On the reverse side, these developers, raise capital from the banks, and then they continuously make bank runs.. and that is why, they WANT to become capitalists, they assume that they are capitalists.... but they are not. Cos the banks doesn't connect back to the people ? So it means that, these people basically gets tortured. And those with those money, raised from the banks, they hoard that budget, and it doesn't get fizzled back down to the poor either. So it basically spells that... their monetary system is basically broken. Who the hell hoards cash in their own home ????? He acts like an Imperialists, than a capitalists, or as an communist. Even worst than before the previous dynasties.... (And I bet that, the old dynasties never told them the secret sauce of how things worked..... That is why.) In the past dynasties, if you did work, or helped do work, then you would get money, to the civil servants, and those civils servants basically build and gives back as well... and continue to use that money to build the society's civic buildings.... Is this the "OEM model" which China advocates a lot, and it goes into every single sector of theirs ??? From tech to buildings ???? These people are not stupid. Cos lands are only owned for like 70 years. So maybe many people think "it is not worth building it so well, cos it will be gone in 70 years".... That is the mentality, and I am sure that many people know this too. Some buildings will stay, and those are possibly in tier 1 cities already....

  1962.  @Justineexy  : Everything often spoken of in the chinese language is following concept A. But in English... they often follow concept B. So when people literally translate point to point, it makes no sense at all ! And it does not add up at all !!! Basically.. China is "from Imperial mini Kingdoms suppressed to be so called civilians/population indirect upward voicing of opinions into merging of those kingdoms to become a communal state"..... This is what is meant by communism. Cos Russia had this too. But it failed. Authoritarianism is now.. single man, power over the entire population. Which it IS being so now. Even though Royal Monarchies that exists. Do NOT have the power and control. There can be a head. But they are a side show, every day things.. are governed by the people. The people decides. And they are honest in the sense that, they will say if they are related to XY or Z. So therefore you don't "accidentally" marry your relatives... or that you marry and have an incest situation. Or... that they calculate how old people are and their working rates as well as their earning rates as well. So.. in the West... when somebody is employed. They would work when they will increase the salaries etc. e.g. Year 1= 1k, year 5 = 10k.... so at the end of their working life. It is around 250k, say. It is not like China's....."Omg... I want to open a business. I will earn for 6 months only. Bam... 10 million in 6 months, based on a 1.2 billion population size." WAH.... WTF.... WTH is this BS ?!!?!!..... Chi sin... I remember in 1998... my mobile phone... some components from china... 300 pounds... equals to around 500,000 yuans... And at that time. There was currency controls.. and regional banks as well.. and different types of banks for different purposes.. not like now !!!..... All merged and confused into one. No wonder those elites have around 28 billion US dollars.. This is a fake number. Cos this cannot be a real number at all ? I bet nobody kept the accounting books, have they ? Literally none. No wonder all those accountants and auditors have lost their jobs. Cos people have not been doing things correctly.... OMG indeed.

Is that how come so many "data companies" harvests people's privacies? Conversations. Recordings, trigger backwards their phones and download more files ???!!! There was an actual PC Pro mag which wrote about this issue... and how it linked to the different d/l that FB has done on people... I guess you have not seen this, right ? Have you ever used FB and afterwards, you actually get hyperventilation ? I have had to block a lot of people over the years. Especially the ones that harasses me, a lot. And this is BEFORE those people who appears in my real life workplace, and then comes and harasses me on that too !!!! (F!) I also feel so bad, and had to do a lot of security settings, to filter our my families from harassing my colleagues too online... I don't think that they need to be dealing with my families, or has to literally KNOW how to perform, or what to say. Some conversations are private, and it ought to STAY private !! Back in the days when people are not being monitored, one was indeed free. Free to cry, if one likes. Free to be angry, if one likes. Free to self sabotages, if one likes too. And that itself is a FREEDOM. I could kill myself if I wish. I could literally do what I like. And yet... nowadays, you cannot. AI does not know that,... that man you left on your email, was someone who tried to murder you before. AI or FB filters/admins do not know that you knew that politicians when you guys were at universities.. and that she blackmailed you and bullied you for money. FB does not know that... you are allergic to certain types of food. Or maybe they do know... but forces you to interact and to "be kind" to somebody that is selling poisonous food to you any way ? But FB does not like that.. cos it wants the best sales. The best prices. FB cannot see your foot has blown up like a balloon... FB doesn't even know.. or maybe they do want to recommend... anyway... otherwise, you will fall into the "hate" category. FB does not know when to back off from somebody being online.. Do you realise this ? They don't know it. They don't know how to.

As the world enters into ESG... and you do not care about the shareholders, and the population? Why not just create your own meta world in the USA ? And be done with ? Why drag us in Europe into your messy world as well ? Don't do that, and don't not expect us not to react! There IS no discussion here. Those points that I made... I made it with 1) life experience, and from the user's perspective, and 2) from an industrial point of view AS well... and as it happens, I used to work in tech sector, so I KNOW how the tech stack works.... and why they have gathered data that managed to leak through and out of Europe as well. There is nothing wrong if Europe wants to protect itself. Sorry, but there is not ? The example of my mother being doxxed in HK is already one and I live in the UK. I am sure that FB's undersea cable did not reach HK... so where and how did it reach there? Via Google's networks ?? You tell me. How come my mother could be harmed this way, in direct view as I responded to that local TV channel ? And then the subsequent third party issue like my lost credit card... how come since I indirectly joined amazon prime, suddenly... my mobile phones numbers were accessible and then money was taken out of my account ? Without my approval or my knowledge ??? Your assumption that, people have always had authorisation.. but in truth.. their gadgets were a dumbed down gadgets, and they have NEVER been connecting the dots before, WITH approval !!!! That is why !!! so I now find all the links and the different companies that accesses my info and data ? Plus now I have a new mobile phone that SHOWS me such details ?! Crazy !!! No wonder that, I made a private comment to one cafe owner, only for the next "followed" cafe owner to spam me with that exact food item. I have since blocked such cafe from accessing my FB. And I have also blocked my phone from updating. I will at some point, dumb down my phone as well, and block them. Or to use a different non-advertising phone.. as well as delete all datas from third parties !

To which as a citizen living in the UK, I am absolutely entitled to do just that. So please sod off. As a woman, I don't normally swear... For someone online to provoke me to swear when my personal security is threatened you really have a damn nerve to take the other side of the argument. First of all, I don't want my data to go outside of the EU. For privacy, you don't think that the increase of crimes is a thing ? As an ex- systems analyst, I have seen so much that.... by that I mean the entire global network. You live in a tiny small country, does not have the competence to defend yourselves, so you want my data to be " protected" in the USA ? My God woman... You are deluded. When the riot kicked off in HK.. my details were able to be scraped into the HK news channels via Facebook. Mirrored sites ? I don't think so. You obviously have no idea about the tech or the architectures. This is what they mean about third party, you breadcake. You are obviously out of your depth in this thing.. and yes, I want European laws to be in control in this aspect, whether this is due to political reasons or prosecution purposes or whatever it may be. The fact that such tech products exist has already indirectly created now petty crimes in general and criminal cases... Which you love to ignore.... Never mind anything more sinister. I won't further comment online on their architectures.. but I am sure that if you worked in the sector.. based on what I have written.. you could have read between the lines and build up the mental picture of the architecture already.. if you are indeed competent in this area.... I didn't want to write something to be published that will ruin this sector or for anyone else to take a stab. I think what is said is enough. That is if you do not wish to write a sop to show the criminals how to steal your home....

However... did you assume and think that ... alll 69 millions were living in the United Kingdom? Maybe only around a slow... 30 million are Brits. And then.. who are the rest ? What is the percentage of foreign nationals. Without papers, and without papers ? Now that should be a figure that you should look at. Cos frankly.. These people are making live quite unbearable. Unbearable in the sense that, they have no basic calculations ? For a long while... I did wonder why the media sector was so into Diane Abbot.. and then I realised that, the situation is a lot dire.. than we are accepting it to be. The locals are not buying.... so.. the other foreigners are all businesses.. So.. everybody is just doing their own "yellow economic circle"....? (FYI.. This was why HK rioted you know. Cos the boundaries were removed.. and too many people flooded the city.) Around a good... 3 million are locals locals. Solid, won't move away or migrate. Then a good 3 other millions are maybe abroad. And then, they have events and conventions.. which goodnes... 30 million people PER year.. annually... People were crushing.. and this was not stopped. As usual.. the usual things happened.. Rape.. crime.. stolen things.. you know the usual the things... You know how it is.

  1973.  @steveparker8065  : There is no market any more Steve. Brexit or not. Makes no difference. Just to let you know... I am one of four children. My mother was one of 7. I am now.. supporting 2 next generation. All 4 of us kids, will support the two. Now.. Remind me.. how else can anybody else reduce inequalities? All my savings are gone now. It is given away. My father had a business, all of those... given away.. So... You have to remember that.. we did not have poll taxes way back when and... What other "social" media.. can you do, or to type.. or to set up for ? Right ? Amazon is not going to increase their salaries. And this is just a video.. to provoke you.. to type something. And then this piece of info.. will be kept. And then sold later on. Whether it is to be used to publish educational books with. For a " never do this again" way.. Or for...somebody.. to use.. It will be used. At the back of you and my expenses. The job market is so bad now. Wherever you go.. people will fight you for it. In my last two jobs. I have had two women, physically assaulted me. That is for one. And then.. another colleague.. will bad mouth me every single day to my face..."when I went to your previous workplace, you did not do a good job cos I saw xyz"... She would do that, every single day to harass me. Even though there are like CCTV cameras everywhere... filming.. None of this is taken into account. Why? Cos it was in cantonese? It was not in English? The police force does nothing ? I asked about this.. why am I being filmed on duty to my manager. She stated that it was for security reasons. This is INSIDE the workplace. When my wages were ROBBED from my handbag.... My manager did not even wanted to report this. I was fretting... that I cannot pay my bills.. and I was in tears.. And she did nothing. She was calm. She had the app on her mobile phone. She does not want this to be reported to the police station. Why ? Cos she knows this person. I stated this to the police woman that I recognised the man's trousers and shoes.. and I think that it was guy X.... She said "Are you sure"... Every single day, the Home Office employees sits in this establishment. And every single day... these people play against the laws.. and against the rules.. and they often employ illegal migrants. And they are also in a "private network in FB"... WHAT has this country come down to !!!! Yeh... you can say that, nobody cares all that much. Sure. Nobody DOES. Sure... I will fret here. This channel is a tv channel.. and I am sure that they got to film this and to tag it into my account to "soothe " things down. I am sure of it. But prosecution it will never happen. Cos they just assume that "this is great freedom of speech material. Let me publish this instead." Nobody is going to the police any more... Do you get what is going on ?

  1978. This is absolutely BS. What do they mean that it cannot be reined in ? Of course it can be reined in. Split the computer. Separate the telecom lines. Stop them connecting. Why should random people, disrupts your life, every day, every other minutes? This is absolutely despicable. And the thing is... even when TV came into people's lives.. It was not THAT disturbing. People can choose. They can switch off the machine. And today, in social media... you have blatant situation whereby people can harass you, lies to you, and disrupt you. Or purely put blames on you for things that you did not do. Is this not illegal to a large extent?? At the same time, these "algorithms" can go as far as to highlight and bring your murderer back into your life. Bring people whom you know have conflicts of interests, back to your life as well. Mock your actual preferences. Try to poison you too. Especially when you do not wish to be sold xyz, cos you have a medical condition. WHEN will people literally.... listen? It is not checking those boxes! Back in the days, when a doctor has given the wrong drugs to a patient, at least that person is responsible. When AI goes wrong.. or "misjudged", who is liable?? Who??? So if "viewers" write back a comment, then the conditions and the settings state that this is "hate" ?!!? How about you just provoked them, and used them, and misjudged the lives of that individual?? I've had so many of these kind of scenarios... if I am at work, my screen will be spammed by people's naked photos. Or if I just had an operation, trying to make a light comment, whilst recovering.. somebody would pick a fight with you. Rather than to agree to disagree. If my work's CV is posted, and linked to my bosses, and talk shop... some AI, or data companies would think that this is cute to consolidate your separate emails, including your ex who tried to murder you, back into your actual account. Oh, yeh.. sure.. those whom you walked away from in communities too.. Would often chase you down, and explicitly blackmail you, and your info, your private photo which they hacked into. WHEN is this going to be regulated ????

  1980. It's not going to do anything, cos lots of stupid SE Asians.. trying to make a quick buck, would import these nasty junks.. I know, cos my ex boss does things like that..."but it was cheap"... yeh... and she is Malaysian... along with her boss... "but those stocks are going to go off".... (and they do it for a reason)... "but we are going to open and expand into a super market" !.... (FFS !!!!!!! )..... The other thing is... even if you get some local stores, and to do things like that... most would have a stricter quality control as a chef as well. Wash and clean them, even before preparing them. My boss likes and love hiring teams that does no preparations... Why ? Cos they don't care. And those people doesn't care either. I saw one Indonesian... (who "hates us so much" ).... threw an entire fish.... into the washing bowl.. with soaps in them as well. And cos we told them... to the manager... instead of telling him off, and relearning... Well... the front of house got sacked instead. (But those people are hard working.... ) So then.... the next set of chefs.. would "give you extra in your next meal".... This is why I ended up in hospital twice, under two years.. I called the police. Nothing. I ... the entire team of doctors.. came to have a meal in the place that I worked. The fact that I didn't die... gives them a blessing... (I don't know if they filed an internal report or anything.) But some local checks happened after that across the entire board... People gets rotated... It is so disgusting that it is surreal.

  1993. He has people backing him, and if they don't back him, then his job and their jobs and their market shares and their investments will go down the pan. This is why he does it. Why else do you think that this WOULD happen to begin with? Whatever way that the politics sway.. it often is always misled. Or you feel like that you will be against in some way if anything else. And as much as he said that it was worth it. Brexit... so many voters.. in the voting process. People literally CHEATED.. and overwrote the ballot papers, and this was FILMED ! It was filmed, and then the government did zero nothing. At all. Maybe this is why their Labour party campaign went viral. They took social media.. and me being me.. I was harassed to the Nth degree... and it blew up !.... Why am I supposed to actually know what the hell the entire country is experiencing, on top of my job, on top of finding ways to survive, and on top of everything else? AND on top of Europe's situation as well ? I was one of those commuters too... trying to stay alive.. and here we are.. Now I am finding out about EVERYTHING. While some of us slaved our guts out... some of us, ARE indeed campaign socialists... and are ignorant to the Nth degree ! I lost my rag when the Labour campaign stated things like that "china harvested organs", so therefore.. we should also opt for the organ donation thing too. I lost my rag. I also lost my rag when the entire "I must vote for chinese Labour, COS I AM LABOUR"... I have seen so many chinese also cheated me in my life time too.. that I do not want to vote for, and shall never vote for. That is why I voted for Conservatives, wanting to increase more police, btu then again the government did not increase them !!! Deliberately !!!!! I am fuming. I am not the only one that got assaulted.. I know that much. I don't even know why the entire invasion of chinese from God knows where.... and sorry, but I don't speak "mandarin". Never had. Never will. Never shall. UN made up Fuijianese language... UN now apparently have put in sanction and labelled some Cantonese as actually "protected species".. Wow indeed... Apparently, I am jewish too. Which I do not know. So yes, I never knew THAT about Corbyn knowing more about my ancestries than I do about myself. I had always thought that I was Cantonese. So wrong I was. Funny that.

  1998. Then you should move to Italy... and then find a new way to import the raw materials and then make it on site in Italy. You should outsource the part of the raw material buying and shipping, to be outsourced to another supplier, as an extra piece of work? And then to also ask them to expand on that? And you front the actual making on site in that home country. why we actually also brexited, which is something which I do not agree with as well.. is that, before East Europe joined.. West Europe had an actual supply-chain and manufacturing going on and it worked out. So this is fine. Food production had always been in that own country's production as well. We didn't have like Italian product to the UK at all. That only happened, because it was part of a triangulation trade deal. SO.. when we use building services, or builders.. from East Europe.. into the UK.. we should NOT have done that, at all ? First of all, we did not even allow them to be part of the construction sector and have an actual project manager and everything else. Never mind the East Europeans. We also started to use slaves (literally) from OUTSIDE of Europe AS well.... and because people BRAG about this kind of work.. the influx of people came rushing... We should've tightened this up, a LOT. Why did the UK ended up with SO many "immigrants" ??? You tell me. From ALL over the world, and stabbing each others in HMOs. STOP. PLEASE STOP. If you are an actual immigrant, with business in the UK. Then sell your business (WITH the profit)... to a local firm. Exit out cleanly. Don't change and adopt your own business and change its own name and bankrupt the previous one. Just sell it on. People will consolidate and know what to do? So many people, especially those small business owners from abroad, doesn't even know how to do simple things like THAT.... Let the accountants correct the structures of these organisations, and rebuild them in a better way. Into a more LEGAL structure.

  2022.  @Shenzhou.  : Yes, you forget how the "country" became what it is today. A lot of us do remember, and the world also remembered world war two AS well.... And someone also admitted that, the Premier is actually of Korean heritage too... I thought he was Manchu. So you are saying that, those who live in their region, do not deserve actually regional integrities ?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4C9PufXNis&list=PLjSIHCoR9kYof3pyGuxDCyUddxwYbsXZf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3zaY3EA-80&list=PLjSIHCoR9kYof3pyGuxDCyUddxwYbsXZf&index=2 THIS is the list... of the different culture and the regions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Neolithic_cultures_of_China "Communism" is actually illegal in Europe. Cos it killed a lot of people as well. So... I hope that most chinese citizens, do not embrace "communism".... as a political ideology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Neolithic_cultures_of_China#/media/File:Neolithic_china.svg I accept Dabenkeng as Cantonese people, with the Yue language. Some of the so called Taiwanese mandarin, their speaking and their tones, I can grasp very easily because it has the same tones as Cantonese. I cannot stand and comprehend the Beijing dialect, that is because it is not chinese, or Hans chinese. I can accept that Dawenkou culture, has a lot of links to Korean in nature. But I do not accept Manchuria as the ruling class of the entire Chinese history and culture. Cos Siberians.. that is "white caucasian" people were found in the far North, which borders into outer Mongolia, and more. There is even a DNA map, which shows people who are NOT of the Chinese DNA !!! Dalongtan is also a strong group of people, from Dai heritage, and they fought off the Northern invaders... For generation to generation. Those areas, have old human bones in there, and scientists have cross-referenced them to modern day living people... So please do not tell me WHO is more Chinese ! Cos they are NOT. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/World_Map_of_Y-DNA_Haplogroups.png The red, and the pink is mostly DNA similar.. and they derive from the Denisovans. There is a reason why some people cannot mix as well, cos one or two have been tribal people, and have never ever mixed with other modern day culture. Some of the modern day population is really from the last 200 years. Others have been living off in their own communities for centuries. Inter-breeding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbreeding_between_archaic_and_modern_humans In Japan, and in Korea, the government control who marries who, in an indirect way... There is a lot of reason why that is. For genetic illness reasons and so forth. Maybe you have never heard of the old elderlies.. talk of how babies used to die and never past a certain age.. This has nothing to do with science. I am sure that, most of the older generation knew exactly of many issues in giving birth. Way way way before modern science and techniques can check for good healths.

  2034.  @jason200912  : People stayed in HK only because it was ruled by the British, which was a common law system, and it had an actual financial system which was based on merchanting, and trades and things like that. What happened then, is that, cos of the financial crashes, this, that, and the other, and it basically almost crippled and collapsed the city/country (pre1997 it was a country). So.... HK has done a lot for the mainland as well. Because it was fairly financially stable... People just tried to cram themselves more and more and more into HK. If you see the policies and those elites in Beijing, they have ZERO acumen, as to what is going on. Cos they just say... what is happening to the "country", but "earns as they sit"... basically.... How do people learn in the world ? 1) from experience, or 2) from dictatorship. To live in a dream, and to make things work, you often have to stop the ones who keeps on ruining your chances of making things work... And UK had a real hard time to turn things around even back then. A lot of social unrest. A lot of "disobedience". A lot of "murders" and "killings" etc... It was quite terrible. And because people do not openly talk about things, and the educated are not educated. i.e. The ones who never got a chance to get an education, they will only listen to those who has "been there, done that"...... The country is of 1.4 billion people. Now, do you see, why SOME economists... harping on about wanting more kids ? This is only a theory. I hope that China does not have MORE kids. I hope that, they would shape the country for years to come. To have a 700 million population is still quite a "large" country !! I think some people inside of China does not know that other countries are only around 70 million or even an actual 5 million existence... They do not know this. This is why, some HK chinese, have started to also buy up the UK too, and started to flip houses as well. But inflation of houses, only happens... when certain conditions and framework existed. Cos some people saw the boom n bust cycle of HK. They assumed it will happen again and again... but that is not how things work.... LOL...(But they did not know this at all. LOL....) F!ck.

  2045. They were receiving in more and more foreign direct investments.. that is what they were doing. So basically to absorb the money into the country, and then use that to turn things around... Build factories, housing, products whatever it may be. So these extra buildings, must be in different locations. As in... the GDP of regions. So some regions, wanting to become that region's local governor.. to raise its profile... and "win"... to be promoted upwards... They often borrow a lot of money, and build first tier empty buildings, in order to get the loans into those areas' branches.. that is what is going on. It isn't an issue as such.. but they should've used that budget to turn it into commerce. Or factories or something asap !!!!... As not to actually make an issue. And if a company needs to go bankrupt, then they need to ? The successful ones, need to run smoothly and together with other businesses, like a daisy-chains.. but to be fair.. to build that kind of trust, is tough ? And it IS hard ?..... The successful ones, probably didn't build it.... or maybe they experienced it via life experiences... hence... the HK financial crashes before. Which was EXACTLY the SAME EXACT THING. This was why HK was left behind by the British before anyway. And we are too close. Hence, why the 2008 financial crash happened too... and yeh.. we are still connected to China... unfortunately.... Suffering, isn't it ?... Lots of people just want out. It's too painful. Too many times. Over and over and over again.

  2050. It's not. It is a muslim state. An extension of Indonesian and Malaysian dispora's paradise... Cos they over took your Indian mosques as well... and no local police bats an eyelid obviously cos of "equality laws".. apparently !!!!! Meanwhile.. the local race.. that is actual Hans Chinese, have ran off into the UK with their so called BNO passports, to get a decent education. Cos they are not even given the 200 million HK Dollars which the "ethnic minorities" get... This IBEL guy.. is worth around a whopping 1,400,000,000 HK Dollars.... And he is Indian too !!!!! So this British Indian mosque.. I kidn of expect to be held as part of your assets or the British assets and be used or loaned this way. But oh no... there are now muslims that uses it. I wonder if they owns it now. I mean.. how rubbish is this ? Right ???? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Masjid_and_Islamic_Centre Mr Dhar is a millionaire.. cos he runs the goddamn school... !!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXqkIbCcbIw I wonder how much he earns ??? He must live in a wonderfully expensive goddamn, non-auditable building or flat.... Cos why.... He gets this much funding, and the salaries are low? But why ?????.... And after 20 years, these so called kids are STILL not educated ?!!!? Shouldn't this centre be closed by now ? Since it has been opened since 2014 ???? Why does it still open as such ???? Even my mother was not allowed to go to school as a child.... and she doesn't get subsidised this way. Her FOUR children... and her SEVEN siblings support one another, by working abroad.... And why does people like this, get THIS much !?!?!?!! Can somebody tell me why ? Cos I don't get it ????!!!!!!!!! AND I pay Li Ka Shing for his Three network too !!!!!!

  2056.  @shashankmishra02  : In the UK, we don't have that, I mean, we did have nationalised banks as well. Cos I recall my childhood bank account was based on one of those. So I did learn about the different interest rates and the charges and things. And yes, what was the financial sector in London, has nothing to do with the rest of the small banks in the UK. Most small banks, were linked to the main central bank. So there isn't this business of "government bank" versus "private banks". Many private private banks, really has to also follow the regulation AS well... (As to NOT increase, and ruin the cost of living ratio.) Within the UK. So.... I know that in HK, it is different as well, kind of similar to you guys in India.. They have SOOOO many banks, and SOOOO many credit cards, charges, and products. Keeping up with this is a NIGHTMARE !!! We don't have that in the UK. With any banks, you can have the different financial products, sure... but it is also still benchmarked. As in, you cannot be above or below your competitors' . I think this is so, because it is such a small and tiny market... But I think, ever since the UK joined the EU... things have changed, and I don't like where we are heading... It is not a good place. It will become similar to HK, as well as similar to the USA. This is why the USA had a LOT of financial bank runs, and things like that, and they cannot hold tight their actual businesses? And their businesses, do not actually know when to sell or not. And if you look at it the OTHER way... which, it is the banks, that is really controlling those company's stock levels... So that they can only have incentives, based on the number of items that they could have. Which is weird, in a way. Cos most people in the UK, we have to price-check instead. Meaning, there is the suppliers' price, and then there is the "middleman-middleman-middleman" end consumer price. Each time you move an item, you have to add the fuel charge/logistic charges on top as well. So it can end up as being more expensive than anything. So yeh, you can have like X, or X+% in the UK. Depending on how many times the item have been logistically moved. Right now, the logistic costs in the UK is so high... It can be like half the price of the item. IF the US have an actual direct debit situation, then I want to see the US to have a benefit system in place then. Then, this can cushion that contingency situation... if anything. If you cannot pay, then use the state's support, on top of the direction of rise in inflation...

  2057.  @Andrew-rc3vh  : The Brits that were there, left... Cos many were Lords etc. And they left with their families. The ones that were left.. or the subsequent people were NOT the local Cantonese.. and it was NOT the Brits... and it was more or less an "open door policy"... of migrants. And THIS is not being handled. And this is part of the issue too. There are Pakistanis... some were some of the older Indians.. but then, suddenly "muslims" out of nowhere-ville as well.. Even the local papers did NOT recognise this at all ? And even recently... SOME decent writers are FINALLY... writing from THEIR perspectives !!! It never was a free for all at all... and the Brits gave it back.. cos it couldn't control its borders anyway. After 1997.. It had gotten worst ! Thai people. Filipinos. Indonesians. etc etc etc etc. And then, not the mainland people too. Not that the mainland are being discriminated.. but many of them violate existing local laws.. despite people teaching them etc. And then also a lot of ex-financiers as well.. taking funds... and running with it.. and ruining even MORE of the city too... Cos nobody is taking control.. and this is why the financial mess that is the PRC now.. happened. THAT did not take long, did it ? Cos nobody disputed it. And that move, was to anchor the USA from economic collapse... so what is happening now? .... China wants to integrate its own financial system with the world, but without the authorisation of the world first? This will lead to war. (And when we say "global finance", we don't mean those "mom and pop stores", which China is SO insistent on...... ) The situation is getting worst and worst.... Just a lot of diplomats and not much actions or inactions.... I don't even know how come HK was so transient... in nature... As my grandfather's hometown.. I am quite surprised at its transient nature.. to the Nth degree. There is no Cantonese culture left any more at all any way. Just a typical ex-pat foreign party town, with lapping SE Asian ladies, and lady boys etc.... (Despite there being a strong Christian or strong Catholic churches everywhere in SE Asia.) That is a joke for a start. Cos nobody that has sex, that many times.. and with their own family members, but without knowing this... and then attend churches.... etc etc etc. And the state does NOT steps in either !!!! 300 million, 90 million people, and it keeps on growing... exponentially. No wonder HK is taken back and strict laws are thrown down. People does not even practise family planning either. So much for these so called "foreign businesses".. indeed...!!!!!! And then the stupid communist model and Marxism argument.... junk. What junk. No wonder they come down tough. Yet, the remaining chinese assumes it would be like communism, rather than just basic Confucianism and Chinese FAMILY values... !!!!

  2084.  @perro0076  : Nothing can really save you to be honest... it is what it is. What am I going to do ? Kill myself ? Wasn't the chosen one, and sided in the wrong place. Rightly or wrongly. Despite getting A in maths at A-level which I worked so hard at. Even though English is not my first language, as well as working too for families at that time.... As well as getting an analytical science degree with statistics. I still get stumped too by every day financial products. (Despite temping also in a mortgage company once as well. lol.) It's like.. how many balls can one juggle ? As well as running house budgets, and cards, and decisions and project targets etc. Was also in IT too, for a long time. 13 years I think it was. The risk factor is probably something which I didn't take seriously most probably. I gambled on relocation and lost that one, to be honest. Like so many after the financial crashes and things... so... Who would and could've known any way ? And now, it is cloud computation and statistical modelling once again ? There isn't anybody that doesn't know somebody that worked in finance to be honest. And the culling, that goes on every single year. I think everybody is very used to it now. I remember it was my friend who taught me how to read my pay slips and the tax thing. Good to have friends who could explain the terminologies, cos even the tax office didn't have that then either. lol. Where are those websites gone to now ? It's gone. Or maybe I have been AI'd out.. and is now sitting in a different set and grouping for my salaries or something. (Rolleyes.) Not pervy or stalky or creepy at all.... sure... privacy ? Bullying ? What do you call it ? Where is that line ?? The pyramid scheme sometimes fall over.. and then you would find a certain angry person on your door step. What others' comments did not imply the real world is that.. in China.. and in HK... Your bodies stays in the fridge once a while. For cooling purposes. Now... remind me again... what this subject is all about again ? Is it the miscalculation of the vitamin D dosages ? Or the heightened increased hidden dopamine ? People did not calculated that even based on the image processing ?

  2088. The first time that I saw gruel and gores on Facebook... was the time that I basically lost all faith in FB. Cos even with basic TV channels in the UK. We can complain to the masses, or the operations or the CEO, or whoever is in charge, and dispute this. And then, this would be shut down, and an apology is given. Today ? Today... anything you report to FB... they do nothing. And they do nothing, cos they do not know whose loyalty should they sit in. I.e. A UK citizen, cannot complain of the stalking laws in Europe.. They cannot complain when somebody stalked them online, for example. And yet, I cannot even change and direct my ex-colleagues from stalking me and my private photos... just cos FB says "No". So now... I am a target, of a company owner.. who I once met, but has not conversed privately... They can literally put a stalker's mark on my face? F!ck that sh!t.... This is the danger, and people do not realises this aspect as well. I want to be a good woman, I want to protect my families photos, and our intimacies. I don't want to use my families, to SELL. They want to sell... in the US, everybody sells their bodies, their images, everything. But what if I don't want to sell my face, or my families, and what if I want to keep it private to increase our closeness? So why don't the US have such close relationships between their families? Sorry, but why don't they ????? This is both super crazy... drives me nuts... and I get a LOT of abuse.. from my mother over such social relationships online. She is not even aware of the different intentions from different parties....

  2117. Not everything from America can be translated into the UK !!! I say "no" !!!!! Stop this please ! This situation is causing a lot of real good chefs to leave the sector already... and we are left with absolutely disgusting food... These food.. are like, manufactured in bulk first. That is, precooked first. And then when it reaches these restaurants or dark kitchens, they are recooked, again and again... Many times over. I find this extremely disgusting.... This is why Jamie's empire fell over. Cos this is what he did. He started not to cook fresh or from scratch. And he did not secure his supply contracts, but cared a lot about his reputation.. and let those who wanted to make big money out of him... to trash everything. This is what really happened. And then, this started the whole marketeer prattish issue... Taste Cards... and discount places... Taking margin cuts.. and then pushing down the real chefs and owners down... Until they folded. Cos they would normally hire an entire BIG team... to bad mouth them. That is.. these people work for these so called marketeers too.... They generate analytics... and then screws up the small business owners.. and then trash them. THIS is why we are now in major lock down !!! This has NEVER been told !!!! It is one thing.. if your real food is liked a lot more, by the real customers.. But it is another thing, to HIRE... or to allow your own employees.. to trash your competitors... and not be truthful about what they do like or don't like. UK is only has 69 million people... and yes, WORDS DO GET AROUND !!! AND DO NOT THINK THAT WE DO NOT KNOW WHO WRITES THEIR PROFILES AND RESPONSES EITHER !

  2118.  @visitante-pc5zc  : So ? It took my grandfather his entire life time to earn the money, that is, the price of the materials in order to buy the building materials with. And then my mother's generation to build a single house. And then in our generation, to live in that one single house, for three generation. So if we could do it, then how come, they couldn't ? And now, it takes around 4 children, to raise two children of the next generation. Even in HK... they had orphanages... and then the orphans grew up into actual adults. And then they were merely maids, in other rich people's houses... So I don't get, why the big boom in kids... The PRC.. if they left people alone, then they would take care of themselves. Like, those ethnic groups... in those autonomous regions, their population didn't exploded. They still only restrict their babies, based on how much rice they could hold !!! From a 600 million people, into a 1.4 billion people.. and the entire globe... cannot work enough to feed them either. So when would this end ??? Living in a commune way is not a bad thing now. Seriously. (And the thing is... lots of people in the Western countries, also have to pay taxes on top of their mortgages as well... and they have to also allocate a portion to pensions as well. That is attribute to somebody's child... etc etc etc... Some people's schools or pensions... etc etc etc....) I cannot even believe that other woman, from that other video.. about her owning around 1000 properties? How is that possible ? I realised that a lot of the so called "propaganda" is basically "advertising".. or "marketing"... So don't believe in it. Not really. Don't.

  2120.  @Realitycheck18  : But this is not payment though. This is just a transfer of money. It is fine, if this is an isolated thing.. but this is NOT fine... if this is actually banking. This is not banking. This is what we class as a sole trader in the UK. However.. this was NOT Globalised, with authorisation at all.... before.. and it certainly is not now either? International payments to payments had always been through banks. HSBC broke this apart as well.. cos they didn't do their own due diligence.. and incurred a LOT of issues... And to be frank... You guys have been hacked as well. In case you did not know. India... or Bank of India.. had been hacked. This is why you guys now uses this type of mobile phone payment system. YOU assume that this is "payment"... But ask yourself.. who is hosting those mechanism for you to pay with ? FYI... It was North Korea many moons ago that hacked all of the banks.... Including India's... And FB is banned from India. As with a few technologies as well. You are like China... a percentage of the people... without money... so instead.. using this form of "tokens". In the UK, we have something similar too. We pay a supermarket or their "credit loans".. Basically, using their own profits to loan out. This has been going on for ages. But it is always backed by a bank. A POS is not a payment thing. POS is the system to calculate your business' finances. This is not personal money. Using the way that you described is basically transferring from person to person. Not person to business. Which it SHOULD do. Person > business > Indian Tax office. The way you are describing.. is classified as what the UK call as money laundering. Actually. Most people uses this method when they sell second hand goods. Not goods made from scratch.

WHO lives in HK ? It is not the indigenous people that lives in HK. Why do I say that ? Cos I live in the UK !!! The only person who SHOULD've been is like that Tang guy.. who is now a police officer ! Why is Li Ka Shing, who is not even an actual CANTON's provincial governor, should RUN HK ?!..... The people in Japan are the royal families, and some of those people are literally the descendents of the Qin Dynasty... So again, why is Raffles' that woman... that family dominating HK ? Isn't the only Western family that should dominate HK to be Mr Robert Ho Tung ? How come HK has to deal with the Portugese issues as well then ? And how come HK also now have to have so many "SE Asians" from Malaysia, or from Indonesia, and Philippines.. and all of these regions.. to pool together to make HK ? I don't understand this. How is that possible ? Those countries already locked down their borders. and reconciled those family trees already. Do we really need to check all families first and again ? Japan protected themselves from foreign invasion a long time ago... that is why those companies were formed. And they threatened the world with nuclear first, until the US bombed them. Does HK need to be bombed in order to reform ? Maybe it should ! Surely it should. And I am saying all of this as a weitou person as well. The fact that people cannot even speak Cantonese is one. Shouldn't those who cannot speak Cantonese NOT be employed in HK ?!!! And yet we have SO many English speaking concubine maids !!!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE !!!!

  2138.  @zenlei8258  : I QUOTE !!!! "Early Currency in China With a history of over 3000 years, Chinese currency existed in both Ancient and Imperial China. In 1914, the Silver Dollar was established as the official currency of the Republic of China, with copper, fen, and nickel coins being added in the 1930s. During this time silver appreciated in value, and China could no longer retain the silver standard. In 1935, a new currency known as Fǎbì, was issued. Introduction of the Gold Yuan and Chinese Yuan Renminbi The Gold Yuan replaced the Fǎbì in 1948 at a rate of 1 Gold Yuan to 3 million Yuan Fǎbì. That same year, the Yuan Renminbi (often called RMB) was introduced as a way to help stabilize the Communist held areas of mainland China. In 1955, a re-evaluation took place and a new Yuan Renminbi was introduced at a rate of 1 new Yuan to 10,000 old Yuan. The Renminbi in Foreign Exchange During the command economy, the Chinese Yuan Renminbi was set to unrealistic exchange values and as a result, severe currency guidelines were put in place. When China's economy opened in 1978, the Yuan Renminbi was only used domestically and foreigners used exchange certificates; this led to a powerful black market. From 1997 to 2005, the Chinese government pegged the Chinese Yuan Renminbi to the US Dollar at approximately 8.3 CNY to 1 USD. In 2005, a flexible mechanism of exchange rates was phased in, with the RMB being re-evaluated to 8.1 Renminbi per US dollar. The Chinese government launched a pilot program in 2009, allowing some businesses in Guangdong and Shanghai to execute business and trade transactions with counterparties in Hong Kong, Macau, and select nations. The program has since expanded to all areas of China and all international counterparties. China has also made agreements with Australia, Japan, Thailand, Russia, and Vietnam to allow for direct currency trade, instead of converting to the US Dollar. As a managed float, the Renminbi's value is determined by a basket of foreign currencies." Start to goddamn reform the financial system !!!!!! And killing off Bo Xi Lai... that is .... Killing Puyi's part family tree isn't going to cut it. Is it ?!!?!!! So basically PRC is still running an Imperial China.. but you chose to LIE about it !!! At least be open and honest about it!!!!

  2140. @Duffelbag Drag : In the UK yes, it is. It seems that this is the USA version of marketing... I've read this once before a long time ago in my 20s... on a blog.. a web site based one. Not a video log...And she was creating recipes and marketing and things like that. I don't get why this is now surfaced... and to this extent as well. Since that period.. the food regulation has tightened a lot more.. and there also created in the UK.. (which I hate. I really do hate it.)... Compass now exists.... and they literally now is a big and large food manufacturer ? And so so so many "chefs" literally work with them. i.e. Create recipe patents basically... "If you do not die, then this is fine". kind of thing. Which I absolutely hate. Cos in the UK.. we do have strict food regulation... and also we have a different set of laws for pharmaceuticals.... And the Michelin Star thing.. is not a done thing in the UK. This is why... recently... there has been a lot of poisoning... and also.. super markets now sell.... (possibly patented recipes)... and this is why people are getting (poisoned)... I was just posting about this just this week.. About how the so called "big manufacturers" hoovered up the old businesses... ABF is one of those companies. We now live in a "refined" era.... lots of proper chefs have left and given up. It is as designed. People will then have genetic editing as the way to go. And genetically cell created meat... which is already available. Petri-dish meat. (Which is very very disgusting?)....

  2145.  @nicholasr82  : Lol... This kind of fearmongering is something that I did not expect. 1) Those areas are probably shielded by the military because the government do not want them to be looted. I cannot recall which year, the policy kicked in, but digging up old graves like that, is actually against the law. I think it is a death penalty situation. It certainly was the case, when any individual is holding onto "national treasure" items. i.e. a vase from the Ming dynasty, or an ivory stamp which once came from the palaces' indoors. It is illegal for any citizen to possess it, or to sell it on the black market. This is maybe why the military is there to deter people from being sentenced to the death penalty. 2) About the caucasian race, or Jewish from the Western side, migrated into the China's boundary and regional areas. Nobody disputed this. In fact, if you listen, and understood, a lot of people accept the Silk Road. And those Silk Roads, had a lot of different colour skin people. Many Chinese scholars and citizens accept this point. I certainly never knew the actual timeline of events, but the fact that the government deter those sites to be evacated, does not mean that they do not disagree with you on your postulation. In fact, there are actual chinese documents, written by officials, and "annuals" which told of the stories of what happened to the dynasty. Even chinese students and youngsters are taught in school about such existence and methods. 3) You mentioned the Epygtian pyramids.. Which is around 3000 BC... Even if they exist, nobody is disputing that, there cannot be in dual parallel.. other existence of other people within the same region as well. What we call "China" is a modern day boundary line, and the modern day definition. A lot of people DO know... and DO acknowledge... at the very least, that there were monolithic old aged history to the land. In fact, they use chinese characters to describe and classify them. "Gu Lik" ("Olden History" means predating any dynasties.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Neolithic_cultures_of_China Someone was teaching me this... "Dynasty" means lineage and family lines. Nomads, were not. So nobody is saying that, there was not any overlap between the twos.

  2173.  @taffyterrier  : They created the locum system... and then actually.. went for gold... and opted for actually... like 3 to 4 times their perm salaries. So it became a locum good for all. Until people kicked up a fuss about it. So then they reduced their hours etc. And then.. many people quit.. cos it is starting to hit at their incomes etc. e.g. Both their own clinics...(which is their own properties)... As well as their own earnings etc. So it ends up, the day of the country, serving them, as economic serfs ? And the other thing is, there is more than enough individuals that are from the ethnic minority background that are doctors and nurses. At first, I thought that there was a shortage.. but well.. they have caught up now. A lot. So many Asians are now doctors... So many. I actually also don't see that many white faces people any more as well, which is very strange indeed. Super strange ! The people who lost of opted out of their jobs... They went onto other areas. Either teaching..(so therefore, again, higher salaries... or asks those students to pay those fees)... It's like... Imagine... if you were once upon a time, an actual doctor. And then you have the doctor's pension. And then your clinic as well. And then you have that pension pot and then onto teaching. You then start teaching. So you end up with TWO different pension pots as well... So who loses out here???... The rest who doesn't have TWO pots !!!!! It is outrageous what some people do in this country. Somebody was similar too. He had a civil servant pension, and then he stayed inside the insurance sector, has an ultra high private pension... which is in conflict with interests to what goes on. He creates hassling group.. to pester certain people to vote a certain way as well. This should NOT be allowed ! In the end.. it means that his life and future is secured. Whereas the rest of the population isn't !

  2179.  @femiogundipe767  : Some of these "recruitment companies" are hiring people like yourself, and many others, through a loophoole... and that, they are treating you as a contract worker, when they should not do that. They ARE at risk of breaking the law, to be fair. And people like yourself.. is encouraging them. Even despite the fact that you don't know that, it is illegal, in the way that they hire you.... some of these agencies, if they don't do the due diligences and checks.. then they ARE at risk of actually acting like Gangmasters. Which is illegal ?? Each country have their own employment laws and their own immigration laws and such like. The UK government should NOT have to reach to THIS point... before it is taken seriously. I was watching a short film... of the US' medical pay. It went on to state that... the nurses earn a lot.. but then.. the doctors earn low... but will gain when he gets like around 8 to 10 years of experiences. I thought that was interesting. Cos I thought that the UK model is similar ? With the medics. You NEED to clock up the working experiences to provide a good judgement of a situation. So that you do not make mistakes. A lot of doctors from the past, would NEVER dare to think to jump ship like this. What the media has shown in recent years, and I saw it as well.. is that, those who are now qualified, are not experienced in many regards? Because the experienced ones have either left, or retired. It left a BIG gap.. in skills... There was an article about the doctor in the East Coast... who was the "head of the clinic", and he made several mistakes... consistently over the course of like around 8 surgeries, or whatever number it was? He was from Europe. But he was taught in a more holistic way, and not from basic principles... So he doesn't know what areas, what and why. The patient had to go to the larger unit in that region in the end. Where it had both the teaching hosp beside it as well as more junior people. So that, those who cannot work, cos they have retired, are acting more like a consultant and advisory as a professor to stop them from making mistakes. THAT is what it has come down to now in the UK. So.. IS it all about money ?? Is it ????.....

  2183.  @user-ts8xr9fp6c  : The REAL chinese in HK are more or less Weitou... Cos they have been there since the Qing dynasty. They had been there, before the "move back to the region". Of which, many weitou people, that fought off invaders, did not move back... They stayed away. And then incame the "hakka" from other provinces. It is not the done thing, to be trepassing. B ut you would not do that, or say that at all, during those treaties. Would you? So many individuals now are coming forward.... things happen so quickly.... That is because Canton had a provincial leader.. and there were low level hguards, the kind that could chop off your head, if you trespassed into their territories.. but the British government does not know that. In fact, somebody posted online in recent years.. about the different armies, that were looking after the different regions of China. I had no idea. At all. So now it makes sense... There were TWO types of people inside HK... 1) Land farmers. And 2) fisherman. You fall into one or the other. That is how it is. If you looked at some of the people who ended up in HK, being first fishermen, and then went onto the land to live. Those were hakka speaking as well. Some were hakka speaking. If you understood the chinese characters in Chinese... it says "migrant"... So when you say that you are the migrant, into HK and then it was close.. and then you expect.. others to not... Some scholar stated clearly that, "cantonese" was meant to be the "diversity language", to include hakka, as well as weitou and also cantonese... so... cos the pronunciation is... You don't know. You don't know.

  2184.  @user-ts8xr9fp6c  : Do not confuse "hakka" with "Toi shan". Like this lady. Listen to her... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-2AmYPVGKE&list=PLb3wlFVIbW52Hz1kOK8tlrZMI6pkavwuW - Toi Shan is a region in Canton. As well as some of the people who left, to go overseas and abroad. But if you see in the oversea's areas... a lot of people actually are... She looks familiar. And maybe is an actually TVB presenter or other ? And for myself, my family.. that is, my grandfather had been here in the UK since 1890s.... and then again, my dad in the 1940s.... and I was born in the 1970s.... my nephew is now born in the 1999..... We are the fourth generation. First generation. No schools. Some were scholars... as in, imperial scholars. They themselves are soveign. Second generation were diplomatic workers that went overseas.. during WW2... or whatever... and then the third, which is me.. I too entered into the local council's work.... And now, the 4th generation.. (seeing the decline and post declined colonialisation.... just a job in the local city).... English academia tried to actually make use of.. classification and study for the study sake... (without embarassing China).... So that is why, some people literally translated it as "hakka"... as a "noun" ?.... Rather than a Verb. i.e. "I belong to this city.....therefore I am...." So Cantonese, is saying that this is both the person, and the language that they speak... cos they are from there. It is an English language construct... but you wouldn't know this differences ANYWAY.... Do not forget that.. HK also had a LOT of Filipinos.. .that is... second.. or third generation of ... Spanish-Philippines... chinese... It is THOSE individuals.. that often also kicks up a BIG fuss... over these... over people like you and me... They dared to call us..."indigenous chinese"... BS !!!! Why ? Cos they are English speakers, and therefore dominates the English media... That is why they do it. And in a way, this is what led to biases.. all around.. Cos they speak in English... so therefore... assume, a LOT of politics as well ?..... And to turn it into their own favours... This is called "invasion". This is why those notions of "Hong Konger"... came from.. Cos the USA' militaries would sleep with those people.. and therefore.. both army, and people in positions of power... neglect other local and rightful governors... If you looked into old B&W movies.. it is ALL over the UK.. what happened during the ww1.. and ww2.... The thing is.. would people marry one another? They do not seem to want to do so. So... and those who WERE enemies... did they call it truce?.... So many would literally HAVE more kids.. just so that your or their next generation, would inbreed ! Alot of people doesn't care. They simply don't care...

  2185.  @user-ts8xr9fp6c  : So does mine. And my name is also in the actual family book as well... so your point is... what?.... They are trying to change and adapt the family tree... cos of what... bump me off that listings ??? Sorry ??.... Suddenly...."create and find the rest of the global population"... to "connect back to HK" ?.... ER....... This is what the NSL is also a part of this as well.. don't you think ? Hakka is a romanised word... under the last 100 years or so... Would you like me to write some of the actual details, and things like that.. and to dig back up our family graves to prove a point ?... So many individuals now come forward to say who they are and are not... So.... Did you know that LKY also lied about his own actual... qualification ? And did you know that, every single person in South Korea.. was a part of their Imperial Kingdom ? Did you know that, many of the Northern Vietnam.. were also part of the older.. Imperial Dynasties as well ? Even before the formation of the PRC.. and the formation of the Qing dynasty. "Hakka"... were migrants to HK. Actually.... I know cos I am part of that.. and this has been documented in the annuals !!! Some people obviously speaks 台山话.... and they are from Toi Shan.. obviously... and yet, they don't even accept this ! A lot of... even my family tree has been in HK around a good 300 years or so ? I know it dates back to the Sung dynasty period... It is not "tradition to pass down from father to son"... Cos you live in a village. It just expands. Stupid. You have a lot of great aunts and aunties, that are around a good 8 to 6 tiers above you.. you grow side ways. So... If they are part of your clan. They are not "outsiders" are they? Even South Korea, doesn't have this kind of BS. Cos trespassing is actually illegal under the Tang Code. And it isn't unknown for trespasses to be bumped off.. or killed.... Cos you are trespassing.

  2186.  @user-ts8xr9fp6c  : The reason why more "cantonese" people came from other areas within canton, rather than fuijian.. is because you guys invaded on land that isn't yours? So.. by right... you are trespassing... so this is written down clearly. The reason why the "communism" thing started off.. was because, people wanted to get rid of the landlords. i.e. Land owners. But land owners, are mostly Imperial families. As in, if somebody within your family managed to get actually.... into a scholar position, then you would be gifted land. Even LKS doesn't have as much land, even though he is from good breedings. i.e. His family was scholars/imperial family/ minor Lord... whatever you like to call it... he didn't own much land, but he let his descendents and next of kin buys land. The remaining Heung Yee Kuk people... yes, some people hold onto some of the even older previous dynasties' lands... but what was being argued inside the Legco many years ago.... is "who is more right".. as in... many "refugees from the WW2 entered into HK".. shouldn't be there... cos now, suddenly, people from other branches are entering back there. This is what screwed up many things in HK ? This is not including the various situation of.... "globalisation and global UN and world orders"... Many of these diplomats like ours, had to swap and went abroad to work... cos we're good like that. And in turn, we basically sacrificed our own kingdom for a future, isn't it ? "An eye for an eye?".... This couple isn't aware of the past 150 years' histories.. they just want to have kids. That is it. They don't even understand the battled... and the legitimacies. Of course, they won't defend anybody. To some people, they speak Toi Shan wah.. and claim it to be "hakka". In a Taiwanese TV programme, they went all out to say , "there is no such a thing as "hakka"...".... Which is true. Hakka ( 客家) and that is, it could be because they wanted the reform as well.. or to keep the status quo... so... they don't want the situation to become a certain way? Exactly the same with the so called "cultural revolution", whereby the landlords were killed off. Remember one thing.. HK became a financial centre, only because those overseas' chinese went abroad.. to swap "like for like"... if we did not leave our own land... as a form of collaterol... and everything else, do you think that people like you today, could say that "this piece of land is mine" ? Kind of BS ?.... So.... think about that for a moment. South Korea doesn't have to deal with this level of intense BS... and in Europe, they also don't deal with this intense BS... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dRuF1_oLYs - In 1900, there are around 20 clusters of Royal family trees... So.... the reason why some people did ended up from Indo-China into Europe or ... from SE Asia into the UK is because those people married extended families of these Royal families. That is why the door is opened up for them. That is what immigration had always been about. So if this family is 1) cannot speak English (it means that they don't have an actual English relative that is part of the Royal family tree), and 2) they do not work well.. or connect well with others from HK, it means that they are also unknown too ?..... And 3) It isn't racism, if it doesn't connect, right ?... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh1lxb8Nbxs - Vietnam, one of the Northern Imperial family tree, married into Rome.... hence the Catholicism... now remind me, who is helping who, and why ??.... Sun Yat Sen wanted reformation and he wanted some of the Han to reunite.. he didn't want Qing dynasty... He wanted reform. He didn't want death. If you don't get it. At least South Korea has it spot on. People live in a cluser of family surname. (Even here in the UK, it is similar too... so...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_clans And for HK, it isn't the so called "Five Big Names". There were actually more surnames. And because some people tries to surpress the rest, this is whereby chaos happens. And then, everybody else tries to "onshore" all of their extended family trees and relatives into the tiny tiny place ! I didn't think you could do THAT !!!!.... Surely, you have to cut off those ties?

  2196.  min min  : Many of these people are not Northern Chinese, do you realise this ? They were intermingle with Mongolia... and the likes of Gengkis Khan... actually allowed a lot of the North to be captured. This is why, even in the West, there are also muslims as well. Muslim is not part of the Chinese heritage, is it ??? This is why North.. near North Korea, broke off... and formed Korea, and then the civil war split South and North together. Same with Japan... This is why Japan.. I forgot which region, split off, and then they just decided to protect their own family tree or dynasty.. and it went on from there. The fact, that, you can no longer call a lot of people "Northern Chinese", cos they are already mixed race... is what is causing a lot of heartaches, across the entire country. Do you , and would you mix, with the descendents of those who killed off your family tree, before, in previous generation ? Who would do that ???? Nobody. No foreign countries would do that either. I will recheck my history of the North... but no way, is the current situation bearable, OR acceptable !! This is NOT acceptable ! If the current set of governments in power, is going to jepodize the country again... This time... Southern chinese will also not be so forgiving, and the country is definitely going to draw a line, and be split finally. Cos it seems to me that, the North cannot control their interactions with Russia, and cannot even deal with Tibet either... and boundary creep... again and again... and inter-mix the people, for the sake of capitalism. Enough is enough. The enemies are already within the country.. and it is a matter of time, that the last remnants.. of any "chinese" is dead in this country.

  2201. Is that what happened ? OMG... and that is why my actual laptops and everything has been spammed to bits. And why did this happened ? Is it cos the shareholders are the likes of China ? Cos Li Ka Shing holds the shares. Do not tell me that, FB is now hosted on an Alibaba server in the USA ? Or has California now become an actual Chinese state ???? I want to know ! And that is why my comment in Chinese proverbs have been deleted. And why all of this hoo hah, about HK etc.. happened as well... This is the same tactic as before... when Yahoo email servers were "sold" to China... and then gazillion people's details and datas were broken.. from this point onwards. And this is why... so many actual people's details.. were up for grabs ??? And yet, who says that the details are now NOT going to be monetized? It IS being monetised now ! I have seen stupid things like..."buy this DNA kit, and I shall tell you your fortune" ! BS !!! Amazon have started to sell "mystery kits" that is based on YOUR details that you have posted online before. So yeh... use ALL your info, tie is up, and sell it back to your face. This is absolutely diabolical ! I know what they want... they want to sell your kids... all about you, or all about your families.. and that is why, I found my ex' work details and data. spammed in front of my face in my LinkedIn, which I went hysterical over. Cos he was the guy who tried to murder me once in the M1 motorway... and yes, thank YOU America for causing me further harms. And guess what.... my mother also had an actual hemorrhage/stroke when I told her what has been happening in my life in recent years.

  2204.  @Demun1649  : Oh my gosh.... No wonder I have been spammed a LOT ?! Like, I have been through a few phones already. And also, my Sony died.... and then I bought a new laptop, and that was also "died" as well. They said that it was a malware. I doubt that it is. I bet it is being blocked. My accounts have also been blocked too. At first, I did wonder whether this is related to some weird SE Asian thing about bitcoins, and digital coins. There is an overlap here somewhere. Cos I was indeed dragged into all of this when I got my first chromebook, it scanned my entire drive... That freaked me out. And ever since then, I cannot separate my different accounts, cos I could before. I never used to have an actual 4G phone before, and definitely not 5G. I hate my current Nokia phone... that freaked me out too when I got blocked. This is all to do with their cloud migration which is now basically locking it down to machines and gadgets. I keep thinking to myself.. how is this possible.. I am spending like 1 - 2k under like... 5 years on gadgets alone ? I didn't see this one coming. Was not aware of the overlapping changes. What I do dislike is that, I can see MORE things online now.. which is freaking me out... Before I am sure that my FB is locked to a small subset of data, and not to be able to see the entire world. Right now, I can see exactly ALL and EVERYBODY.... I do not know if this is related to my higher spec machines and AI embedded within it. I certainly could not see them before. This freaks me out a lot.

  2230.  @angelaphinn9929  : Well... Angela... why do you think that you and I, are now watching the above ??? And fines are currently around 4% of that company's turnover. So maybe they are paying for this fines, and this is why and how come we are still getting money for our resources ! The question is, "should we" ? Cos at some point.. the issue of soveignty is going to raise its ugly head again. To be paid less than we deserve, or to really stand up and hold ourselves accountable. The trick is very simple. Each time you use Uber, the more poorer you become. But if you do not use it. Then .. that money should come back to your own salary. Who do you want that money to go to ? Your pocket, or their pockets ? Why do you think that Mr Hislop is creating this "session" and to be broadcasted ? I'm beginning to get what they mean by "popularism"... Cos I really did not see this one coming at all. You know how Top of the Pop used to be ? Imagine that, but global. And nobody cut off the different broadcasting regions or anything like that. Just all connected into one single entity or global market. Well... when Apple cut off their security features to stop "advertisements"... other companies' media analytics fell dramatically. Uber Technologies annual net income for 2021 was $-0.496B, a 92.67% decline from 2020. Uber Technologies annual net income for 2020 was $-6.768B, a 20.43% decline from 2019. Uber Technologies annual net income for 2019 was $-8.506B, a 953.16% decline from 2018. 8 BILLION Angela... ask yourself, why you are "poor" ? I am definitely going to buy that 1 pound something Private Eye ! Goodness me ! I had no idea it was still so cheap. I still recall when papers went up to and around 1 pound per week. And now into the 2 pound per week. And now into the 4 pound for a cup of coffee !!! My weekly shop only used to be 10 pounds !

  2251. So that is a good way to learn. Cos that is how I was also taught too in school, when I was in HK.. and also when I was in the UK too. I had to hold a reading book... and read in front of my teacher, every single day. And then when I finish the book, I get graded. And then I change my book to the next level, or the level that they think I am capable of. She checks my speaking, and my grammar.. and my pronunciation. And then also my understanding of the book as well. She would asks me some questions from the book, to see how much I understood the contexts... and those "deductive logic" (i.e. Reasoning, and IQ).... So you wrote that: "Meanwhile, students used to need to write a weekly writing journal, and then also write about topics studied. Now the writing journal is rolled into one. A journal of their own life in a way that touches on that (given) topic." This in Chinese, we call... "作文" . It means "writing an essay". So if they are writing about themselves.. and how that topic touch them.. it then means and imply that, this is how they perceive the subject. Or other. Or how it impact them or how they feel. So how is this "restricted" ? This is basically writing an "opinion piece".... i.e. How the subject make them feel, and how it impacts them. This is considered as a form of journalism, and even self expression ??? (Which is what democracy is all about too.) "論文" is theory, and philosophy. Even though the dictionary is named as "thesis"... but in actuality, it is discussion and thinking about actual... concepts, ideas... and so forth. Chinese academia, is FULL of theories.. for centuries, and centuries. It is embedded into its poems. It's essays, and its old writings too.

  2253.  @billycao2653  : The thing is, you only think in a single way.... and not in a round about way. Yes, you hit the nail on the head that, Germany would rather protect their own sector, which is already true. Most of us know that, Chinese people prefer Germany (cos they helped them before during a world war)... and hates the Japanese.... However... as I live in the UK, I prefer Japanese cars, above German cars. Cos the roads in Germany is large and big. They have the auto-bahns, which... to be fair, is similar to China's as well. Similar to also the USA too. But it sucks for the UK. UK likes small dinky cars, the kind that can turn a villagey corner. Same as in HK too. Small but can have power to go and down hills. Since the car shape and type is not suitable for that country, whatever marketing you throw at it, and whatever price point you throw at it, the average consumer is NOT going to gun for this as a first choice. Unless it is ultra cheap. IMHO. Maybe they would consider it. Lots of people rather go for the smaller and flexible and with deals in the UK. You say that a country is "not progressive" if they choose not to use EV. How about..."they have other transport to use as another option which is better for their consumers' pockets" ? In the UK.. it's both buses, coach or trains. Germany has trains and autobahns. So you got to find a good way to carve a small pice of the market for yourself, even if you cannot sell in high volume. I would ditch the high volume concept imho..... Anyway, China has a lot of factories for cars.. and many of those aren't great quality actually. If you could do a deal between factories, or between companies, by sharing patents or mould or something. MAYBE.. to reduce those components down... and therefore the overall price... MAYBE then.. just maybe... you could then export a full car into say the UK. You need to remember that Europe's car market is already saturated. It's a mature market.... Your best bet is also to sell cars to countries that doesn't have any and build up a base and go from there. My guess on this EU annoyance, is going to end up with some officials into China.. to see if they could influence and do some deals. But I doubt that china would have the right people in place to get a deal.

  2282.  @eneanezha4525  : They can do it, because their countries have "deals" that is setup to transfer the costs between them. You do not see such details on social media.. but when you live in these countries, your own GP.. would tell you this.. and or the travel office.. Home Office.. or the NHS... would be able to advice you on this kind of thing. And most people, would follow the rules, and do it. Unlike.. a "tourist" that enters the UK, from outside of Europe.. They don't and won't know that, this is what you needed to do... or why you needed to do this. I know that you had to do this, cos I have been doing this for years.. even as far as my father's generation.. and presumably.... it was setup in m grandfather's generation. That means.. around 1860.... That makes me "know" the UK. So.. let us put it this way... somebody who has history with the UK.. and is British... with 160 years of "knowledge".. compared to this "tourist" of around 10 to 20 years of knowledge of the UK.... WHO do you think... should pay for things?... Each generation add a little bit.. to future proof your child. If you do not want to have a child that see and live in the UK and into the future. Then don't pay. You can reclaim this back, when you leave the country, and back to your own home country? Did you know that ???.... You only "FEEL" connected to the country, if you have family... and it makes you cry. HALF of these people, would not cry for anybody or for anything in this country. THAT is another problem too.... When you have put your heart and soul into someting it will trigger you to cry... be assured that it will. I love how so many tourists that enters the UK.. ends up bonking gazillion people... And half kids and have their kids bonk their cousins.. I recently said this to a taxi driver.. I asked him how many children he has. I told me 3. Then I said.. "do you have families here"... he said "yes, a few relatives"... and then I said..." Are you sure you want to have this many children? Cos what if there are no more yemenis here in the UK?".... Your kids would end up having children with their cousins. Then he laughed. (I was serious.) And then he kept laughing. He doesn't think that inbreeding is a risk to their health..... (I find that funny.) Even the chinese are laughing about this now. "Icky... I do not want to bonk my uncle's nieces.. that is also my mother's niece"..... 😂🤣.... In some areas.. it is SOOOOO incestuous.. that it is SURREAL...... "I love Leicester. It is so multi-cultural." Reverse that..."I love Leicester.. cos nobody kept a family tree... ! "..... LOL.....

  2283. Well.. I have not read or watched as many of these videos.. or anything. Maybe I ought to.. and SHOULD DO... go back and work in HK actually.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WEOTgBTbDQ&list=PLqeNOlDrxqYoZwyjgYtwQNoIWnCAyRsE8&index=5 Cos frankly.. I cannot see myself up UPWARDS into the political tiers..so if MY future is ruined. Then why shouldn't the future of HK be also ruined too? I don't mind. Cos frankly.. it has reached its days. Enough. There aren't as many chinese food. Most of it are now Westernised franchaises anyway. A lot of it are now graffittis.. as well... Families, and lives are lost. Similar in the UK as well.. Lots of people always want to play football.. but not many would do the farming. Those lands.. and those gentries... I mean, my house is sitting on land that is owned by the Duke of Norfolk... So I can see the argument in HK between the "those who works for the trading/HSBC/banking empire"... to those that are "against the international trades, and are the locals.. and owns the land originally".... Whoever controlled those fluctuation... is and should have been executed. I don't mind that ... they should have literally been so. Cos what they have caused is far MORE... than this. The HK media... and Vice.. often calls people like me "triads"... Really? so a triad like me, have been buying Chinese mobile goods from the mainland. Have been eating rice and soy sauces from the mainland. Have been to dining out for dim sums with families.. based on flours that were milled in HK. and tea leaves that were imported from the mainland. I guess.. I am such a betrayer... then. I suppose. What PRC should NOT have done.. is to joined the WTO. That was its downfall !!!!!.. It should've reformed !!! It created a so called "State Council" that looks like a so called central government, but this is nothing central at all. We.. today, have chinese people that aren't chinese in race at all... and mostly... chinese in nationality.... and land grab is happening a lot. And the older generation of the Canton's provincial governors and their descendents today have NO say at all.. about the future. This is weird.. even the Royal families in the UK... and their gentries..a re dominating political and artistis lives. They all work mostly in the public sectors... So how come HK is not like that then ???

  2316. Let me tell you... in the USA... they are "over-employed"... meaning that... they are actually...."a tech careerists, sitting at home, typing on a screen, holding down THREE to FOUR projects" at home. They call this a "Job". Or the equivalent to us in the UK is that, either they are a sole trader, or else, they are literally doing projects. Which means that they are a consultant, and needs to actually open a company to accept these projects. But their companies, do NOT pick them up on this. And at the same time, these various GLOBAL tech companies, also do NOT literally.... follow British laws and separate their actual employees into its designated groups. Now.... for those of us in the UK who happens to use these so called "app" companies... we are losing. We lose, cos there is no money in these precarious app developments. It is like doing DIYs... when you want the house built. These companies, open and close within six months. Nor do they actually connect with the wider scheme of things.... Everybody is living more stressful lives, than ever before. And the companies, they literally don't actually merge companies, or buy other supply-chains out either. This is one of the downfall of this country. Whereas M&As are common in the USA. It is not so the case in the UK. We should nationalise many things, and we ought to have done so. And on the note about the NHS... Well.. if people noticed, those kits were from China too. The masks were from China. The kits were from China. The blood plasmas were sold to China. Actually.... why did we NOT implemented the ID card system? The people disputed this ? Why did we NOT have an actual system in place, but now we ended up with an actual NHS app? Of which, isn't our health details, now also sold to another company elsewhere in the globe too ????

  2320.  @stephanguitar9778  : Those doctors did not stay, despite they were being chosen. Many actually went into the pharma sector. SOME, literally LEFT the work, and opened up companies, to catch the new "tech waves".... So this is why today, you see so many issues now inside the UK. Cos those doctors used their money, to either swept up the entire street, and have a string of BTLs... OR.. that they opened pharmacies. Private clinics. CLINICS.... side businesses etc etc etc. When they quote that, there is "not enough into the NHS"... really, they do not mean the ones that using a contract style for the NHS. Why did the country reduced their NHS spendings? Cos truthfully? Well... many are actually government contract holders already. Why did the NHS have an actual "business dept" now? It is to control THOSE spendings. You make it sound like... the days that... When some nurses were working contracted hours. They were on around 100 -200 pound per day. And often, these went on for a long while as well. On a locum basis. The same with doctors. Why did we cripple the UK ? Well... some of those then went abroad. What did you think happened? So when Hunt came into the NHS, and he forced the streamline to happen... He was not liked or loved. But rightly so, if local trusts played petty politics. There are now commissioners, and devolution happened as well. i.e. Forced the hands of these people. I know, cos I have families in the NHS. And the country is not what it is used to be either. This is for certain. Those unemployed people, are probably just some random refugees turned citizen or other.. and that filled the gaps. The people who earned, and have enough, probably already left the country like most people do. It is a more transient country today. And many cities are basically events town. Or commuters' towns? Nobody stays. As much as the states shows that, around 60% own their own homes. But it can be like my uni friend, she has a house, in the UK, but she lives abroad in Australia. This country is EMPTY. This is why this lockdown has shown the TRUE figures. And I bet you that, without social movements of people, the government, in this lockdown has literally seen, how many people are basically tourists. How empty the streets truly are ?

  2365. The people that already "took risks" WERE the people who paid their taxes to begin with? So then... how are you going to continue to rob them again and again? Cos most people have moved out of the country already... and already passed on. So.... I hope that this is actually.... Exactly. In my generation, my father had to pay inheritance taxes as well... to his actual property in HK. Back then when he was still British.. and the government in HK was not even like, honest? So then they scammed that. And his pension pot went into Santander.. and now, they have an office out there? And even though my mom could indeed get his pension, she doesn't even dare claim it now, in this generation. And also.. it is now a case of... 2 grandparents... 4 kids... and 4 of us, now tries to also support 2 nephews... And we don't have kids !!!!! SO.... don't tell us that... your assumption that, THE actual "small business owner"... would go direct down the family line? That is not what happened ! And this is why.. you kind of don't see the unbiasedness though either. Do you ?? Cos if you see the sales or GDPs within a region.. you need to double check those figures. Cos many of us, didn't even claim actual benefits either !!!!! The figures shouldn't lie. I grew up in a council tax.. and we were 4 people.. and then mom didn't even buy. And only my brother bought a place.. in the North.. and around SIX adults... lived together at one point in time, EVEN before we started out adult life !!!!!!!! (WAKE UP !!!!!!! )..... Did everybody assumes that those "small business owners" made it.. cos there was not this fluid kind of workforce? SIX adults ? Only 2 full time earners, around FOUR other PART TIME earners !!! And ONE benefit or TWO benefit claimants !!!!!!!! TO BE FAIR... at this point, bring back the international funds !!!!!!!

  2373. That should be correct. Because... HK was a soveign country back then. And the PRC did not actually solidified to have its own banks, and various entities. And it was a ROC's "bank"... that actually was supporting oversea's US funding. This was correct, and right in accordance to Eight Nation's deals. When I look at this video now.. in 2023.. I realised what HAS happened... Because... I bet that, some companies tried to get onto cloud platforms.. but was compromised or something. Cos when Singapore's Barings happened.. it was clear ?.... And when the World Bank tried to actually expand into SE Asia... that was when... confusion etc. And this is why.. the PRC took advantage too... and Lippo also took advantage as well... Cos they created their own banks. And then dragged Tesco into their own structures per se... and... Tesco ended up funding the PRC's army basically. (Which, in today's terms.. they refuse to accept that they were the army, cos they restructured !) (I am trying to say that... there were "deals" done between nations even before the 1800s... So that was the truth. Before the modern day banking setup. The question was, whether it was correct to join them together or not. Maybe they should not have been joined together... at all.... I dunno. A lot of people often say "but you earned out of this." But that was a "ratio"... i.e. As communities or societies.. their wealths went back into the banks.. and their next generation got to utilise it as well...

  2382. Britain has done accountancy for an awfully long long long time. They count each action, and each job... down to a tee. No skimping and no saving. Yes... in the past, everybody will fight one another.. on who gets the job done.. or that their rates will never go up. But the way that it is set up... Each person PAYS their way.. in order to keep a civilisation/society going !!!! Why do you think that, you guys in India... or in other countries cannot and does not do this kind of finance ??? You cannot work extra hours.. and force your employer to pay you. When they don't have the extra money to pay you !!!! This is fair. It is accurate. If people do not like this kind of way to work... then don't come to the UK ! It is so simple ! The "Rate of WORK"... and the "Rate of PAY"... is enshrined in LAW. If we did this... then chaos would have happened a long time ago... like so many countries have gone before us. i.e. Bankrupt... cos the ratios do not work out !!!! Get WITH IT !!!! Like in the 1990s... countries did not go bankrupt before? They have almost gone bankrupt ! Look at this documentary about the 1990s !!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2pD_y61jx4&t=3s USA helped South Korea. They helped Thailand. Every single one... and then they MUST deviate... in what sector they do. And cannot overlap. Right now... Look at HK... They collapsed.... totally collapsed... Cos the mainland basically robbed them of their foreign reserve. All empty streets now. You want homelessness and poverty ????? Spending too much. Using too much. Upset the ratio. Bang ! Collapsed.

  2389.  @faithlesshound5621  : You have to remember though, from those days to the now.. which is that... the post war period.. I know that, as a commonwealth baby... my grandfather were taught how to look after us grand kids too. I remember he would indeed insist on using things like Dettol... (which is a bit too much in today's society).. but definitely post war... this is antiseptic which will keep you alive for one. Daily bathing, and daily brushing of your teeth is how you keep yourself alive. Isn't this what nurses did back in those days on top of everything else? If we take those routines into daily lives, then that free up the nurses to do more, and to treat more complex situation and illnesses... Shouldn't that have been what happens? This video shows me that... the basic hygiene and things like keeping the skin and the bacterias at bay, is not even part of their basic amenities. And overpopulation and sexual health should also be another provision too. Reading these comments, from Africans.. you can see what and why here, don't you?? People often think..."we need to run here, this is the goal".... as compared to..." we NEED to keep this basic foundation, so that we can build on TOP of this". When the foundation tier is gone, then you should indeed back fill. Or find alternative solution, to keep the momentum. I suppose, not many people see the more holistic and round circular process flow, do they? Presumably not. I genuinely think that, Home Office have let go and cannot control what IS happening. I bet you that, there is a LOT of transient people in the UK. The last figure that I came across was actually around 8 million people. If I said that, my mother, when she retired is now living in HK. Can you imagine how many Brits are actually abroad? Many. Maybe more like 10 million... at a good estimate. Japan does not allow foreigners really to settle in their own home country. And they slowly edged upwards to around 100 million post war.... Can you imagine.. I mean.. UK is kind of a declining race, AND nation... Maybe there are more English, Scots and Irish in the USA. But I bet that this figure is also not high too...

  2402. Even so, those chinese who moved to say Malaysia or Singapore, they learned English, only because those countries were once upon a time, a commonwealth country. That is the ONLY connection. This is why they would do it. However, that said, those individuals, are actually classified as "economic migrants". i.e. They moved from one country, to another country, in order to earn more money. This is their intention. However, should an economic migrant like themselves, now get involved in the politics of the mainland alone ? WHY should THEY use THEIR priviledged position, to erode the other dialects or the other languages, in the other regions ? This is SO funny !!! And the same can be said of this Janssen Pratt as well. Who gives HIM the right, to erode those locals' dialects, and their speeches ? ALL in ALL, for the pursuit of "international acceptance" ?! This is ABSOLUTELY BS !!!! Some of these so called "Chinese", do not even recognise, or even accept that, they are from a specific "nation" of China, within the mainland. Under the different jurisdiction. They do not even accept that Manchuria, and Mongolia, were separate nations, or has their own integrities... Just cos the borders are not so well defined. They DON'T accept this to be the case. Cos it is "communism" to not allow boundaries to exist. And yet, on the opposite argument.. People are not even allowed to protect their lands, or their homes, when new migrants enter a new area.... They assumed that they could just share share... (Well, this share share attitude has allowed a lot of crimes to exist. Go as far as rape, go as far as some random Hans chinese man, walking into this Uyghur's woman's home, and SLEEP in their BED !!!) This is SHARE SHARE SHARE.... !!! Do you see the arrogance of SOME people ? Causing and provoking injustices ? I think that the mainland, SHOULD promote, "new migrant ettiquettes"... or MIGRANT TESTS' !!! Just like the West do. i.e. If you CANNOT speak that local dialect, and PAST that test, then YOU CANNOT LIVE AND WORK THERE !!!! Cos it disturbs the peace !!!

  2414.  @空戰英豪-簡柏丞  : Mao was the leader back then, of the military, and he sent some people from educated Beijing... into nuclear bunkers, and created an underground nuclear plant... Whereas the US made theirs well known, and regularly actually drop a bomb once a while, as an act of terror. Mao, under the disguise of..."sending the youths to the village", is actually diverting the youngsters, away from what will actually happen... Some kids died. The same happened in Europe.. Many children in Europe, were sent to the rural villages, into safety... cos bombs were dropped into cities. Main cities were bombed. The virus is the same too... this situation is man-made.... Wars, I believe, do not happen for no reason. I am also sure and certain that, it is also planned too. Each country, would hit at their own people, better than if they were not controlled... And collectively.. the results, should not disturb everyone else globally. The people that fought... the so called people that fought... and Japan invaded China... This was also planned as well. Cos the information came out in Europe. As to who loaned who money, in order for certain situation to happen. Paid arms etc... This is made known. Maybe you do not hear of it, or... Even people do not get on as much in Europe either.. but they do not tick each areas off... as much as people do in China.. Like, who is and is not Hans chinese etc. And who should be a mongolian, but isn't... There is a system, that states clearly what is what.. And so many people do not even do THAT ! .... The Spanish do not peeve off.. the English and say that they MUST nationalise the entire Europe to speak Spanish. So why did "simplified Chinese Characters set" has to be followed ? Even though so many people were taught this in school.... As in caligraphy.... but not use in real life ? So why now standardise this ? This is BS !!!! If I see such people pushing this kind of thing, I would have slapped them. Same with Cantonese now, being eroded away..... from the Canton province. So Putonghua is used.. which is semi mongolian-ish... and Jin... but not even Qin and Tang sounding, even though there WAS a pronunciation book dating so far back.... If Mao is alive, I will throw my shoe at him. If I was ignorant, this is one thing, but now I am more educated... No wonder so many people just turn to the monasteries... and give up life.

  2415. I will tell you one more thing. Even those migrants into Chinese Chinatown of the past. They all learnt Cantonese. It was the Cantonese people who "lost out", cos of marginalisation from those evil governors, who tried to "help their own people". The real Hans, in chinese history is often 1) killed, and 2) marginalised. The fact that, those migrants were pushed to go abroad to do "slave work"... actually resulted in their own loss of land, and also loss of their homes. If the British government did not held onto HK... I would say, my family would not have been able to go back to our village and build our old shackled home, back into an actual house, and to pick back up the bones and graves and put our ancestors to rest in a nice setting. THIS would never have happened, in my lifetime, or in my grandparents' life time. You see and hear a lot of these so called "hateful" comments now.... from Malaysians, and from Singaporeans about..." we were marginalised also, away from HK etc etc etc"... ER... that home belongs to somebody, and they have come back to claim it ! I am glad that the HK government kept 1) the records and 2) the land. Otherwise, like a wondering ghost... walk in zombie mode into this big wide world, without knowing where my ancestors live... or died in. So many people in china today, has no clue, where their great-grand parents were from, and where their graves are. Did you know that ? Ancestral worship is lost. You see the media always praising what poverty and what good was done, but they forget to show foreign viewers, who left where, and why they do not know their hometowns, or their heritage. Some people would even deliberately erase this history as well. Cos "it was unfair".... This argument, is what set people to kill, and to die for their families, and for their land. This still goes on today..... In the West, nobody would be this ungrateful. All graves are dug, and all building work is put on hold. Each person, and each life is accounted for. Every single person can trace their family-tree... all the way, back into the 1300 hundreds, and even the 1500s.... Can the average "chinese" person do this in the mainland ? No, they cannot.

  2419.  @robertlawson8572  : And do you know why Varoufakis can "get it" as opposed to some Americans, or other financial centres like HK? Or maybe some do.. and some don't. First of all... for us in the UK, banking certifications.. and those so called..."qualified by peers".. That was introduced, and it was not a "global certification thing" at all. You can now have a random joe.. walked into a university with so called money.. and do the hell.. what he liked. That is the USA style. But it isn't the European banking style. So much media.. and hype.. going on and on and on about... "fraud".. IS IT fraud.. when the very media company itself.. is an actual fraud company ? And yet.. nobody took them out. They call such organisation as "the real economy".... Varoufakis is from Greece... they collapsed... and was absorbed by the actual European Union... the EU did not HAVE to exist... that was created, cos they were going to go underneath. And that is why, in his lifestyle.. he had seen the dragma.. going under... and the consideration of the introduction of the euro as well.. a lot of people WERE against the euro... VERY against the euro... But the thing is.... arrogant China.. and now with the so called BRICS as well.. wanting and desiring that.. "it HAS to roll upwards" !!!!... NO.. It does NOT Have to roll upwards !!!!... We are forever chasing our own very tails? Even if the USA was an actual "single country before"... why are they now 51 states.. to anchor inflation ???... Why do countries have to do that.. and give options for people ??.... A greek man... not wanting to see Europe.. which is an actual continent... of around 44 countries. People assume that, just because the UN exists.. that.. their life's goal.. is to "make" those "countries become powerful".. No, they do NOT !!!!! Stoppit !!!... China has around at the very least.... 100 or 200 "dynasties" by European definition... and yet, they are now forced to become.. what.... "individual counties" ??!! No !!! And also Greece had an actual KING !!!!!! ... In his lifetime, he has seen the collapse of his own VERY country.... and why should it not reform back to a normal state ?.... Greece, and Italy were two countries, that had their actual economy collapsed into oblivion.. and then they had to carry the debts.. of other countries as well.. as the so called financial centres reshuffle.. same with Ireland too, when they were forced to join the euro.. cos they didn't want to join, but their government, seconded and created a referendum and forced them to join. As their central banks.. had borrowed too much and then actually... IMF had to bail them out. And then, once IMF bails them out.. they lost their own soveignty. That is, ALL sorts of so called "global companies" entered into Ireland... and now, their locals... THIS created a TWO-TIERED societies ??? 1) Local Irish, who is now seen as "poor and ignorant".... and then the 2) globalists, and global careerists, that has NO CARE about the locals.. or that country's government, despite doing business in that same area. I don't even see their local media, reporting issues. Cos why? They needed the money. So now, they would use those technology companies to create media companies.. to shout at the so called "politicians"... at the "decisions made around 10 years ago"... by themselves.. This is like.. why don't people take responsibilities for their own very actions ?!!?!?!!!!!!!!! As they say in chinese "The good people are you. The evil people are you." The very same people ! I once met an American working here in the UK.. and he said... "yes, but Europe is a Federation of Europe".. I was appalled by that notion. I didn't accept this. I still don't want to accept this. Cos we are NOT. Keeping one's integrity, whilst doing business, is NOT a crime !!!!!! .... And should there NOT be dignity with money ? I work, to keep the machine going, but should I also be berated in the exact same sentence for doing my part ?? No !!! Democracy is gone. Freedom and free speech is also gone too.

  2484.  @AFDHERO  : But it was CCP's policy that,... they were actually only "farmer's army"... This so called "Red army" was more of a reserve, than the actual real legitimate army under the Qing rule. Whoever heard of the idea that, the farmers, collectively got together, overthrow the real army, and then collectively invaded the government ?? Can you even imagine this to happen in Europe ?? Would people overthrow the government this way ? Well... this is what the original "CCP" was... The idea of "we are poor people, we commoners no longer want to see you elites be in power and to serve you etc etc. (If they were a lot more educated, then they would know that, nobody was super elites, not really, but most were for show in terms of foreign trading....) Most people could still eat, sleep, work.. But most important is to be able to eat. Or have food to eat. A lot of people these days do not even care any more, as they could see how CCP now has slowed down.. and... cannot do any more. Of course, those who were marginalised, is not even going to help. As it creates generation and generation of hate... Taiwan took away some of those, because the decisions were made that. There is not to be of 5 race.. but of 56 races.. and those who were in power, outed KMT/ROC... and therefore... why should the old capitalistic tools and items be left in Beijing any more ? This is the start of a new way to run a country. Do you not know why the "bitcoin" event came about ? Or even the idea of.... "fake money" in china ??? Well... you can see now. When you see CCP party members hoarding gold reserve that amounts up to the amount found in a small European countries. I think this is a very big deal indeed. A British tabloid showed up this discrepancy in recent years. FYI... the PLA was actually the changed CCP army... When there is no more money.... What do you expect will happen to the country ? When their salaries and whatever... does not add up. Expect internal conflicts.

Meaning what. My areas should be not known.. and off limits.. so how could, an actual employee of the Insurance companies could literally be on FB to conlude with other small businesses, and other insiders as well...(with their user IDs to be virtualised)... and literally "plot".. the demise of the region? If there wasn't facebook... these people would go about their day.. and the average man, would NOT know what they are doing.... And yet... people's comments online, in social media, are data-mined.. all of the time. And yet... these people literally have used these mediums.. to whistle blow on the very company that they work for.. and get away with this, and not either be 1) sacked or 2) prosecuted ???? I find this distopian world. Too surreal.... a virtualised company... can extend its arms... all the way into another region of the world and globe.. and cause havocs.... My words.. which is meant to stay in this same country.. Would be extracted to do global business... even without my consents.... Whatever happened to .. data from user in country A stays in country A ?? London is now without people, is indeed because... these illegal immigrants.. and the financial sectors have basically clamped down on dirty money. And the only money left.. is going to be these so called listed footsie companies... Supposedly. But yet... nobody.. are listing and merging their tiny SMEs.... Weird isn't it ??? And here we are.. all going to die.

  2509.  @leezhieng  : Well.. that isn't what happened in the end isn't it ? And this is what became actuality and reality as well. The same now with HK, it is lost as well. Somewhat, and often. I was watching this video... and this is now a "thai lady" talking about "chinese history".... and rewriting history is how I see it as. And the website seems to be from the USA as well. Joined 23 Mar 2020 ---- United States ---- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLpeL64dwCQ I wish I went back to HK when I was asked to by my mother and my father. I didn't do that, that is my downfall in all honesty. And now the invasion... and absolute invasion from SE Asian disporas as well. And she basically are saying that, people in Thailand are basically "hakka chinese" (like, it is a race of people?)..... And she also mentioned that house in HK... with the Li family, and the migration path.... lol.. 1) You could see that the building is actually newly decorated, or at least partially renovated... 2) She isn't even using jyutping (cantonese translation), she is using some kind of oddball system. My grandmother was a Li... and the same as Li Ka Shing was a Li.... and even if Li Ka Shing was indeed from Shantou, which he continually funded. (Which so many of us in the oversea's dispora hated. I wish I didn't use the Three network.) But at least his company coughed back up the money, cos they managed Lady Di's family money, Hutchinson's. --- I know many women married into the British Army, cos they defended the hakkas like him.... So the lady's info is wrong. The thing is, so many Brits now falls under those spells of..."this is what HK is about"... Frankly, those married away and out, is gone, but the Cantonese should remain, but she is now claiming heritages to the location as well !!!! How is that boundary from Sun On, stretched as far as actual Shenzen.. and the label of Bo'an.. is also a bit of a misnomer as well. So this is rewriting history ?? And that listing as well about the different families that were there, and what surname it was etc. Sure... SE Asians.. and mixed-race "Asians" now dominates the entire political spectrums. And this is why now in the Russian Ukrainian wars... so many people in HK doesn't give a damn about. Actually, they should.. cos it was the Jewish people that landed into HK and was shielded from harm, and their money or Catholic money went to the churches that raised and protected the Cantonese from destitutes as well... And now, it should not be the hakka that takes advantages at all.. or for PRC politicians to stand by and do nothing. Well... this man's version of events, is a bit different too. A british guy who end up seeing his daughter marries a local cantonese guy. So that ended that family tree then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAvM9POTsY&t=9s No Cantonese in Canton ? Really ? So who was Civil Servant Lin ???? I have actually never heard of that surname before, but I know somebody of that surname now went to Oxbridge. So there were "no people in HK cos it was just a fishing village" ? If so, then who was this Mandarin Lin then ??? From which unit was he from then ?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk6gfAtwZ7Q&list=PLK7qCnafFFJbWojxFTmN7kmE1RJBD6JbJ&index=25&t=1507s It should never have happened at all. It never should....

  2515. They are going to rob their rural banks... This is what it is about. And some of the "extradition" and "prosecution".. like they knocked out the Sichuan guy... a long time ago... and poisoned some British guy. Well... apparently, that guy who was redirected to that province, is a genuine descendent of one of the old imperial family... (Either army, or civil servant, one or the other. That was why he was well received.... but in the end, things messed up a lot. Cos... Well.... ) With that guy dying, it meant that the country supported Soviet Communism. And genuinely, there are no Chinese, actually. Mixing Hans Chinese, with Mongolian-Siberian Tribe Soviet Communists... you're not going to achieve this kind of integration... 1.2 billion people.. Who do you think have been forcing people to "mingle". So now, in this generation... the kids are sleeping with kids ? And those who often literally argue and stated in Northern China..."don't like the Japanese.. they ruined us"... Really? When the Japanese is more Chinese, than the Northern Chinese.. in blood... in race.. and in heritage... They can still use those sodding mobiles, to say to the globe world " I hate my ancestors ? "..... Really ???..... Time that China was split into two. Let people find their own common acestors, and be done with. None of this business of allowing trade, to split these people up. Japan doesn't have this kind of BS.... Really, they don't. Sun Yat Sen.. also had a second wife too... and those who sits in Japanese politics today... are all bloodlines from genuine Hans chinese.

  2533.  @Storm4155  : The thing is... people didn't protect the iPhone as well... lots of people kept saying that, there should be no fake sector. And if China embraced this, then there would NOT have been a bad situation of selling more second hand phones, than there are new phones. Lots of companies in the West saw this coming... and this had to stop. And the Chinese government did not help the situation as well. Cos if they went back into a recycled phase... and then, it keeps the waste issue at a minimum... people could indeed actually keep making them on a needs basis. Cos they were also arrogant to uplift, and not actually to innovate. i.e. To find ways to make it flexible... This is an unstable approach... 10-20 years is not a short thing... and now, this sudden approach for 100 clamp down is causing an even bigger issue as well. Now that the USA is retracting.. NOW you see the relationships between A to B... and NOW you see the knock on effect... the move by USA and PRC together is also crippling the entire world. I hope both governments realises this as well... (And with the pricing issues on energy... Africa is also in short cuts as well... and I know that in some regions of China, this is the same too.) So much for raising the standards.. in a "short manner".... This was always why HK had been an outlet for these pressures... While HK wanted like 100k. PRC wanted like 100 million. THIS has always been the issues ! While the UK may want a mere 100 mobile phones... PRC makes an actual factories that could turn out... 200k per DAY ! .... China should be making electronics, but it should NOT have been using it.. I don't think. I take back what I said before about china needing to play catch up. A lot of these videos is showing me that china should NOT be playing catch up. It just needs to play "stable".

  2549. There is a lot of mistranslation.. in the US, "freedom" means "freedom to live and to marry", but in China... you cannot freely marry, cos the Imperial lines were really about propogating their own bloodlines, within that lineage.. and anybody else do not have a say, or anything related to that? They have concubines, because they are basically creating their own race, and their own bloodlines. As to who are the rest of the population of China? Many of these people were from other civilisation that happened to be within China. So when the entire communism thing kicked in... Well... everybody for themselves.. basically... So you can have now people fighting amongst each other, tribes, from mongolian way of living also want to expand their families. And then the ethnic minorities that have been interbreeding etc. And with the transport railway systems being created, people have social mobilities.. so then they can literally move around a lot. So inter-marrying races are going to happen. Rapes happen. Even if you do not accept this. This is why... some Chinese academic scholars (those sons and daughters of the old civil servant elites have started to make their own channels and to talk about this to)... They used to inter-marry amongst other civil servants to uphold their race as well, and lineage.. But alas.. this is being eroded as well. A 1.4 billion global melt down. I'm a bit shocked on all front... I'm learning about the terror cotta armies now.. Basically, the King literally killed his entire family clan and buried them. Clean and everything. Whereas if you see the post second world war.. The people who wanted to unite the country again, the nationalists, wanted to restore the (chinese) Ming's dynasties.. Only to find that, their legitimacy and its possibilities are going to be killed off ? There was another video here on YT which stated clearly that... isn't the army now have some kind of breeding programmes or other to ensure that the capitalistic system survives ?

  2557. You don't really understand, some of these lands, like this man, he has a land deeds. People were only given land deeds in the past, either because it was inherited. Or that it was "worked off". i.e. They were slaves, and farmed enough to pay off the taxes, so that it belongs to them. So.. because this man has the land, and it belongs to him. He does not want to give it up. some people will say that, but you will get compensated anyway. But most of the compensation is not even enough to move into one of these new builds any way ? So then it means that, you have to start all over again. Like, take another generation or two generations to pay off that land, and house. Even during the 1980s.. Japan's mortgages had to take around 1.5 generation to pay off.... This man just don't want to move. Cos he said already that he has settled there for a long time ? At least a few generation already. Which implies that he was there, even before the formation of the PRC ! And even during the second world war ! So why should he go? Just because the current PRC government wanted that region tobe reclaimed, and then regenerated ? You have to remember that, PRC is a big place. Not ALL areas, are liveable for one. Not all regions have fresh water, and amenities. The fact that the PRC government also decided on those stretches of farm lands, to be grabbed and then turned into a city.... It leaves less and less farmable lands, and liveable lands ! If there is no water, and no good farmable land, then this is a dead land then, isn't it ????? Also, this is another money exercise as well.. so these lands are forced by the local mayors to compulsorily given up from these citizens. Then the mayor gives them away to housing developing companies. Then the mayor uses these developer's company as a shell company, to take loans out. And then they use some for the house-build, and some for their amenities, like schools and things. And then they rent back, or remortgage back to people to buy them, at an inflated price ! So this is how they recooperate back the costs. But the thing is... the developers are the ones making the profit, and not the landowner. So therefore, how many years, will it take for these citizens to pay it off? Never. That is the point, cos there are no jobs. And the thing is, this looks good on their local GDP's/budget.. cos it balances, but it doesn't increase inequality.

  2580.  @Skygrey2943  : The financial crash is caused by the migration of people and using credit cards too, and some of those actions caused the situation to liquidate the reserve pool. So many infracture lending between countries that were setup before... ended up forcing or indirectly forcing... situations to occur like, absolute freedom of movements? So... today, when you see the media, why is social media now exists in the world? Should it be as so, and BE as such? The answer is a good "no". We now have no manual control of the internet. We have no control over the AI. We have lost ALL controls as well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWjr0dgMqc0 <--- I did not even know that this went on. It certainly was NEVER reported to UK news that I have seen.. or have I missed it ?.... The increase of HIV, TB and HCV across Europe. So these individuals, have never registered with a GP ? Never had any or actual records of their own, for the past 2 generations? Really ? Not at all ? Never had the records since childhood, or birth ???.... So people are transient for the sake of transient, and gets jabs anyway for the sake of it ? Since when did we have to have regular winter jabs, to protect ourselves from others? Why this kind of inverse... politics ? Why ???... And yet, we cannot even speak about issues like this, at all ?... We are now, today, using local national level tactics to deal with some of the UN level issues.... Why should we have rolled upwards this way ? WHY !?... We should have a right to deport some people actually. And create quarantine centres !!!!....

  2588.  @sardendibs  : Vice CAN NOT.. be in the same level as those companies.... "The Times in the UK has more than 400,000 digital-only subscribers. Financial Times has more than 1 million. Washington Post has 3 million" Dream on. Behind them are powerful actual analytics... and they are actually bonded to the companies that list in exchanges. Why should Vice behave this way ? What they should've done, is to stick to the online, semi digital.. and also PRINT copies... !!!!!! Lots of copies were printed before.. and it is the "free digital version" that individual could get for free, when they buy the digital copy. In a world whereby online safety is paramount... for Vice to earn money, they SHOULD also hold a "block off adverts" option, when their readers buy an actual paper copy. THAT should be their "freebie".... or unique selling point. To be able to read a piece of news, in PEACE... and in SAFETY !!!!!! ...... You really have a lot of people now participating in goddamn cyber warefares online.. and individuals aren't even aware of this as well.. or at all.. Where do you go with this one then ?... I used to love reading Marie Claires'... or various publications, in the comfort of my own home. Detached from the internet. Even Monocle.. is making a decent and a nice comeback. I see them in all major decent coffee shops. i.e. Even the coffee shop charges enough to cover those magazines for free. So where are you going with this ? And even so many cities now do billboard advertisements too. It is everywhere... Some of the online digital companies, are indeed holding the share prices of certain companies, which we know.. but.... I mean... Some of it, it isn't as you assume. If anything, maybe they could use some of the data for book writings, or even fiction writings.. or movie scripts. We don't see that happening... Sell some of the stories to fiction writers and publishers.

  2601.  @jeffrey7737  : Handmade things in HK and in China is more expensive. And being frugal city, people want to earn a lot, but they want to spend very little. So his home-made ones, are not mass produced or subsidised, so he will be competed out against. So.. this is whereby.. he should find a tiny niche shared space.. but also diversify... Basically. I mean, doing that, he might just be able to earn a tiny but small living. But don't expect people to spend high cash any more, considering flats have now exploded in price. So... those spending power is no longer there. This is also why, people do not play mah jong any more. Well, they play with money. Traditionally, I think it was just a leisure thing and there was no exchange of money, is my understanding. It is meant to be an Art... (without monetary transaction) is my understanding. But of course, capitalism, and modernisation just pushed people to adapt.. and by 2022.. I think to exchange money with such games, is practically illegal. i.e. Financial services laws.. or gambling licensing etc.. My mom plays those weird card games.. she knows the rules, but I don't. She plays with her other girlie friends. And it does keep her mind ticking over and keep her busy. I used to do sudoku as well.. when I needed to train my brain and try to remember something. Used to have a portable gameboy as well with some classic brain numbing games to keep myself busy and focused. Anyway, such things maybe are kinda forced by the local councilers to move to a better location, in case they have some kind of weird and odd provincial goals, or whatever.. and then he would be exempt and bulldozed over. Maybe this is why they are moving him to a better location, isn't it? Since PRC supposedly have a centrally controlled planning.. But if you look at other countries like Japan.. or South Korea.. they kept all of their local traditions.. and people slowly made the way they are by respecting each others' personal ownership or land, and spaces, and skills. This is not something that PRC follows through. They just want the objective, but they don't care whose heritage it was... That is the thing. Cos if you were born a farmer's family tree. Then there is no way that you would not be a landowner, or a farmer. That is kept inline in Japan and in South Korea. But in HK.. it is like, if one is a landowner, then all are landowners.. If one made mah jong, then everybody makes mah jong. Er.... This is why in china, people fight. And they compete with one another. I'm sure that isn't how it worked in other Asian societies.. Respect for the other person's role in society was super important ! PRC ? Peh ! Absolutely no respect.

  2602. If I was to turn things around, I would first, limit and control immigration again. Kick out those from SE Asian countries, for one. Then, reduce or recover some of the estates. Have a direct rental, or renewal of rentals from specific areas... and the agents, act as a broker.. WITH backup... from some kind of financial institution.. to broker the moves. i.e. "If you are willing to give up your flat and that you move to this location, I can get you this price, and I would add extra from funding from the bank to see this through etc". He can get some kind of insurance or other.. I dunno what products that can cover these. Then... When the wrong people should not be there is not there. Leave a section for living close to offices and living spaces, government suppress those prices.. or subsidises them. Then create a space... for him... and some cultural areas. Those who do not have hukuo, is time to leave HK.. and work elsewhere. Sorry. but they should. Create some rooms again for those foreign workers for the banks again. The end. If even they can't work.. then where do you find the money to boost back up the economy ? Those on low income refuses to work in those office jobs and climb up ! One of these things.. in the UK, or the US.. one would still try and aim for a white collar job and higher paid too, even if an elderly. Yet, in china or in HK.. most people don't... I don't even get the point of not doing that.. Such a different way to view things. A lot of people are like in their 50s in the UK, and started a degree! Yet in HK... the government shift these people into elderly care homes. But what if they are not ready to go ?! If they do not want to do it, this is another thing... but if they do.. then support them to do so! You can't have a situation whereby everybody is on low income and nobody spends...

  2607. When you steal somebody else's money... what do you expect bystanders to do? Do nothing ? Pretend nothing ? Call the other person "mother", or "wife" ???? Your relationship has no title ??? Why was Japan successful after the war? Why was South Korea successful after the war? They were successful only because when they tried to rebuild their society... it keeps falling apart. And then the US side pumped more money to solve the issue. They pumped... and it stayed in the banks. When people do business, we don't expect some people to be jealous... or some people to be mean... or some people to cheat? Yes... expect ALL of those to happen. Does happen. And it happened. Now... What happened after that? People saw the light. And then what happened?... People gave into the new ideas. And then they kept to their word.. and slowly make slow moves as things changes. IMF was against lending money to them. But now? Their poverty level reached a very low 8-10%... (Some may be related to money not passing from one generation to the next. Or some may be related to... small gaps in misjudgments. But overall... 8%... Not a big 20% !!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2pD_y61jx4&list=PLK7qCnafFFJb4XxCU_5gP5uuRbp2u_gQa&index=40&t=474s The problem with HK was that, the people who lived through it. Left. And then the people who was needed to hold tight. Left as well. So now.. those who needs to rebuild.. are people who does not have rebuilding capacities. As much as China keeps stating that they are fine. They are not fine. They fudge their figures as well. So now.. HK is left with a risky shell... is how I see it. My guess is that, with the NSL.. It will force the US side to force a law at a higher level like UN level to force and secure HK. In 1970s... the global population was just 3 billion.. Today in 2022.. It is now 8 billion. Where did the people came from?? Why are there so many people ????? Who are these people ??????? What are they willing to do, to build their society ??? Why are people inside the PRC running away from their own hometowns ?? Where are they going ????

  2704. I am not sure about the fact that, the original settlers were "First Nation". The term "First Nation" belongs to a very specific group of tribes, or civilisation and they do not reside in Taiwan. Although, depending on which academic record you follow... I hope it is not a laymen type, but it is as close to the original government's structures and understanding as it is. The UN, or when the formation of the UN existed.... a lot of these "groups" were classified as "ethnic tribes"... but in reality, and a lot of people are now putting forward the old chinese histories.. or what is left of it... forward and the original artefacts... These "tribes" were the old "bannerman"... or whatever "clans" it was. A clan is not the same as a tribe. Some mainland chinese or citizens would refer them as "grassland tribes". If you looked at the time the ROC was formed, the map of China was so different. I really hope that most Taiwanese are not all ethnic tribes.. but that some are indeed Hans Chinese... if so... this is a sad day indeed. It means that, the original Hans Chinese, or the original "Chinese" is now lost... i.e. outbred into non-existence inside of mainland, and its nearby islands. Japan and Korea, are actually descendents of the mongolian race, or the manchuria race... I thought that the Hans chinese went downwards and further South. And that Taiwan had a majority of Hans chinese. So many Hans chinese also went further into the other SE Asian islands, and has been outbred also into non-existence too.... i.e. Gengkis Khan's descendents migrated into another routes and found their ways down towards Burma and towards those polynesian islands... When ROC had brief control of Beijing, it declared 5 races. Not 56 races..... Qing dynasty fell, cos once again, the "outbreding programmes" went ahead, didn't it ?? It then reduced the number of Hans chinese overall... and the previous generations' cultures were lost...

He wants to also mimick them too? To fight it off? WHY should he fight it off? Oh..I shall also marry a Chinese woman too, to realise what is going on. Oh... I shall create translators too, to figure out what IS happening too. Oh.... I shall also compete.. or else I would lose it. Huh.... 1.2 billion to compete with... Throw in some coins.. some money... and see who swims up and will murder on your behalf... Is this now WW3 ??.... These BBC media reporters...

  2723. When person becomes firm. This was 7 years ago. Your firm has to become SOOO clingy.... and soooo plays the role of your Dad, your mother. Your friends. Your family??? This creates and disturbs the natural law of Maslow's Hierarchy. The first time that I came across this concept in my 20s... when I had the internet access for the very first time. I thought to myself... "this is dumb, everybody knows that this is how things are".... I was wrong. Cos I did not know that, my stability and the way that my family raised me, was a post war period of time. And that... the way I was raised in that environment was indeed actually... man-made, created... I never knew that, as we roll out more internet... more social media came.. and more mental disturbances, and perversion of life... came too. Instead of getting quotas... Instead of.... managing people's expectations. Or managing resources... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHvGsKXqL8s&t=2260s China joined online.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp0IRAW8xL4&list=PLK7qCnafFFJb4XxCU_5gP5uuRbp2u_gQa&index=11&t=1142s 1.2 billion people. What was achieved ? 1 - People lost their sovereignty, and they lost their land. Even if they lived in a sustainable way. 2 - Mental illness and anger, and lies, and emotional hurt.. increased N fold.. under a mere 10 years.... No wonder my mother always stated..."do not be greedy".. and I had no idea what she meant. Until you see the mirror. Social media, has become an actual mirror for many people. "This is the world..., then this is us..../me...." Most people cannot even do the kind of regular calculations either in the UK, to fight against such things. And yet, why are machine companies like Facebook, keep doing the wrong calculations as well, with unpredicted results? Lost of one's rights. One's voice. One's life ??? 3 - Indirectly forcing... modern humans, to mate with old archiac humans too. Bringing them ALL into the exact same era..."New Era" means... what.... "collapse of actual history" ? Some historic studies took like, around a good.... 15 years to do. Or a 20 years to do. People did things slowly. Today, an individual can "film" somebody on their iPhone... and yet, just a mere few years back... 1970s... it takes around a whopping.... 20 people to go somewhere... around a good 30 days of travel.. before reaching their destination.... and then set up their cameras to film. But yet, today... we let people travel around the globe, on a tiny gadget... and film... basically... the resultants actions from the animal kingdom. e.g. This is a good example too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc-dJMq9gxM&list=PLK7qCnafFFJYdBCJapnp1xK3cN-2KvFza&index=16&t=3s "Daddy with 8 kids"... is the media title... rather than to let the truth me out.... or maybe those are wiped away from view... "Man from region, has enabled the army, to sleep with captured women to produce kids... so that they can dominate the army... and also propel the Imperial genes to exist forever. Kind of similar to Qing dynasty... and Gengkis Khan's era...." And who helps the PRC rise to this ??? Why do these people do this??? Who are they competeing against ??? The fact that, the media uses the term "daddy with 8 children", rather than a "woman was raped"... there is no such a concept it seems. To have a harem is okay? To capture women, is okay? And the Western capitalistic society finds this also okay too ??? No wonder I get verbal abuse online from some chinese netizens.... "go back to your English daddy" !!!! (Huh? I literally had to call my mother... in HK... and asked about my father's days in the shipping days when he was at sea.. and I asked her embarrassingly...."Did dad have an affair when he was at sea? Do you know?".... ) On the reverse... if the "virtual world" today.. is a place of cyberworld is the normal world. Then WHO is cheating WHO today... in the world ??? What does "media" play in terms of a role in society ? I was still.... I was born in an era which did not have an internet. I was born in an era whereby.... my father took around 6 months on a ship... to move goods from A to B. And I followed his foot steps... to move and build systems that moved goods from A to B. From a.... once a year treat at Christmas... turned into a... 4 times a year sales figure... to a ... every other day, I can buy something...

So your parents are like these people as well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3zaY3EA-80&list=PLjSIHCoR9kYof3pyGuxDCyUddxwYbsXZf&index=2 I was born in the UK, but my grandparents spoke weitou. And it was before the university was created, and then the sociology dept take a lot of studies and kept records of the region. That is HK.. even during and even after the British left. So that there is a history of what went on before all of these so called modern developments. So weitou is what I ought to speak, but the education was taught in Yue. Or a formal Cantonese. It is not a dialect, cos the Hans chinese went down South. So this is formal Hans language. It would be great, for any academics, to find out the origins of languages. When and how etc. Some people say that some people spoke "hakka".. but in reality, they meant, they were migrants. The version which they speak, is maybe "Wu". Whenever you try to standardise a group of people, they would lose their land, and their homes. So NO MORE OF THIS !!! Like this woman. http://www.sixthtone.com/news/1006492/a-woman-called-hey It would be great for any scholars or uni students, to do a study of this family.. and rebuild their family-tree for them. I watched this woman, and I almost fell off my chair... Maybe because the government allow certain autonomous regions to be tourist traps. This is why that woman would say such things and make such things day in day out..... Translation "I am the ethnic group of the "White People"... and I make these items in blue die, and it keeps me white as well. See ? My hands are white. So this is why our names are called "White people". " If this is not a selling mimmick, then what is ?? https://www.facebook.com/goldthread2/videos/380588749885144

  2763.  @doctortermaine7255  : The thing which they did not tell you is that, they borrowed a lot of money to begin with, to study abroad, and THEN, they go back to a LOWER paid job... AND then... also... their parents still has the debts, as well as their child's income, is not enough to pay their debts off... as well as to feed themselves.. and also to feed themselves AS well ? THAT is what you don't see the circular argument.... And they are saying that, China, NEEDs to join BRIC etc... So those debts.. how is that going to work out then ? China BORROWED a lot of money, EVEN to get themselves up to a good standard of living... as well.. as the fact that, it was their parents' export before... which other countries bought... only to... So they themselves want companies to list in other countries, but previous generation is already done and reached there. SO..... They can only recirculate round amongst themselves... and not necessarily export... Cos nobody can be buying continuously...for the 1.4 billion to raise themselves? So... Qing dynasty.... tried to keep the people from inside the mainland side.... away from the shipping's export coastal regions... And those coastal regions sold items that came from the mainland anyway, so it kept THEM from poverty.... and then the coastal regions just got a cut, to pay the people, and then also a customs charges for the other countries AS well... So.... Anyway.. here in the UK, it is very common, to find a multi-aged team... and your boss could be 20 something and he is in charge of a 50 year old etc. So..... I bet this is going to cause issues.. in the mainland... So....

  2783.  @satriojumeneng7055  : Yes... cos the religious aspect has already embedded itself into the law. And we also have a separation of the religious element, to be away from the citizens' decisions. So the laws.. and the religious element.. allow every single individual to live a life of duty. As in... "God is a trinity." As in.. he is your heart, and your actions, and your community. As in.. he was both the person who sacrificed. As well as something that is spiritual inside of yourself... as well as something organisational. THIS is how it has manifested in British society. Some people may not classify themselves as a Christian in the eyes of the Church of England... but he sacrifices his life.. to serve his own communities.. even if he is black, or he is white. And then.. in return.. EVEN if the Son of God.. or the genuine descendents of Christ... in the UK... and he sits in parliament... he does not retain the wealth. He ensures that the taxes, that the states collects.. is distributed back into society.. and into the communities... So yes... This is why Christianity... has snipped its donation and its wealth generation and "split bank" from Rome.... This is why it is mainlay a Protestant society.. even though there are Catholics too. But both do check mark each others too. So then... the result is that everybody is looked after. This is why in the UK, there is the Churchof England.. it already split from Rome... and integrated and included the existing Prostestant's and various other local tribes and descendents of the indigenous people here.. And this is why you still see the worshipping of the Sun.. and the music.. in Glastonbury... They are quite famous. People see it as a form of music worship and party.. but this is not true. They are the original tribe of the "Briton".... Do I see HK being protected now from SE Asian countries ? I don't see it !!!! It is already stolen from them too !!!

THEN.. the entire country kowtowed towards this person. I mean.. this is why people rebel and definitely fight for powers, don't they ? And just cos SOME individuals.. who made money, and donated as well... then they literally get under their skins.. and literally kowtow and bully the rest of the entire group or the cities, and the REGION !? WTF is going on here !!!!!!!!! That should NOT be allowed to begin with ! And if doing business in HK is hard, cos people doesn't and CANNOT do business, then SO BE IT !!!!! Don't do it !!!! Cos you cannot even be MORE incompetent really !!!! And because of those decisions... should the rest of the world now live in poverty.. cos SOME people rose into positions of powers... and then eliminated the rest of the groups ?!?!! It only took like 10 years to do that. A mere 20 years even !!!! WTF INDEED !!!!!!!!!!!! THOSE people in positions of powers can override the elderlies... and the actual... how to say.... They basically eliminated an entire group of people. And they even dare to call people like myself "indigenous " !?! How rude !!!!! I actually think it is time that, HK did the right thing with immigration in my opinion. REALLY rude.

  2793. The north used to have real chefs. But the south didn't and now the reverse is true. Takeaway chefs from my father's generation is the same. He made sauces from scratch. From soybeans to now this generation of convenience and ultra bottled sauces and want to push the volume through. Not everybody wants to wake up everyday and to use 8 hours to make food. Yet factories are mostly to make preserved food. Good looking and can stay on the shelf for longer and not rot. Real food rots after a few days. Even the chefs today are now just like McDonald's.... "Processors"... Not real chefs. And the urban elites like... "NetZero" card board boxes. They dared to resoak cooked cereal grains and recook it again. This is the new millennials' generation. I also saw an actual advert on deliveroo as well advertising such people to give things a go. They are hiring none chefs to do chef things. And then it was their own marketing people putting down the tastes on the look and the aesthetics. I bet you that... Those marketeers themselves aren't able to achieve the same things either. So therefore mislead them even more. In a generation of so called contents creators... Aka liars.... In the early days of factories done by ethnic minorities.... Most items were less preserved. As regulation and laws kick in. It feels more and more like a laboratory. And this excessive over analysis on food has stopped the item from being actual food. Methods to extract and to make it palatable has now turned it's head into an additive manufacturing process. Which is insane. You may use this for drinks production. But drinks production and food making is not the same thing. And then all of the "we must save time" and "money"... Leaves nothing to be desired any more... If people work for such organisation. Then please make changes.

  2799.  @angry-prol  : While you may see this, and know it and realises it.. but because the internet is now so fragmented.. and many countries now also uses digitals as well.. and even yourself, is watching this on you tube and not via the UK government's own website.. You will come to realise that... it does not matter. Cos we don't have visibilities any more? Unless we signed agreement to join other countries directly, one by one. Like it was before. (And even if UK is into the EU... did you know that the EU is currently with a LOT of law suits, from SO many different countries? If they lose those ones.. it then means that, we would get sued. And that lawsuit fee, is going to come out of the EU members' budgets etc. So how is this going to happen then ? What would we do? On the one hand.. cos those countries triggered these kind of trade issues... and then filed.. we could've negotiated, which is true.. but since it has started.. we cannot but not roll backwards, can we? Cos everybody "wants to increase their GDPs"... Well... "net zero" it is then. Cos they made a choice when they too triggered those decisions... So... And then you also have China that pushed ALL 5G phones out.. so everybody could see one another for the first time, and instead of controlling crime and controlling companies... and trade.. It went crazy. So everybody rushes to one location, depress it, and then leaves ! Nobody or anybody knows or realises that they even exit. People are in poverty too... Cos these companies didn't separated the respective cities.. and individuals... or anything. So attack between people, and between businesses were quite rife? As in, absolute strong competitions ? So all of those old associations, or those old communities... or network groups.. Those are gone. It couldn't survive the social media era rise. (Even banking is now within a community group. There are now app credit unions. In case you don't know what these "app coins" are... )

  2839.  @Burty117  : There is a lot to the issue than this. Australia uses cryptos. And some countries do, some don't. FB is .. I presume acting as a bridge to help these kind of transaction happens. But I don't think that they have ever thought about how they are taken and accepted in different countries. Why? Cos nobody drove this car... It is like a driverless car? So instead of reshaping themselves. and reforming.. Didn't they spend around trillion dollars.. to build that oculus thing? Which never took off ? So.. they used investors' money... and advertising money.... They take it away from those small players... and literally.. use it for their own internal projects. (Oh, they were clever to reshape their org first, so some people would be sitting in winning teams. Some in the losing teams.) ... You know the usual thing. Biased to their own friends and families first etc. Well.. cannot say I am surprised ! It was not enough that they had FB... and then, there was Whatsapp takeovers... and then games.. Not enough to have just games. And then monetise various things... and resell people's data and info... for shops. For different purposes. I like some shops.. but since I found out that they stalk me from online. I gave up. I don't even frequent that cafe any more. Cos I know that they stalked my FB account. So I stopped going. The end. I'm sorry but... a phone is my phone.. but if you want to track me down like an animal... and not even let me enjoy some basic freedoms. Sorry, but not sorry ! There also have been a lot of hostile take overs as well because of Facebook. They are bringing down competitions or to let competitors fight amongst others... So why are we in lock down again ? HERE we go..... "Oh, you just got your computer hacked?" "Let me show you a new ad to sell that PC for you!"..... SERIOUSLY ?!......

  2849. "No clientele" ? lol..... WELL... I am glad that I don't have to buy any more. Cos frankly, my entire life had been about being hacked. Buy new one. Being hacked. Buy a new one. Why don't they divide the business into a multi-sector company ? 1) Farm for their local area. 2) Hand made those actual chips, and become an actual supplier, towards other suppliers for the whole machine instead ? And 3) then rent out the remaining actual equipment to any global players that want to create a mobile phone. And then actually to reduce and dumb down their entire workforce, and TRAIN each and every single one of them to be doing things from bottom up. Using around 60 bloomin reiteration of such high end equipments, and each run is per million.. Gawd... these people are super uber rich. Meanwhile.. the rest of the country is poor beyong belief? Is this a joke ?? Even the nuclear energy stations that became obsoleted, are to be used via charity money to train individuals. Yes.. he did indeed train very well.. and yes, he became one of these global elites. But in reality.... who made those equipments for him to train with to begin with ? And yes.. some standard of live have increased dramatically, but others aren't as such. Being in an ivory tower doesn't achieve very much. So many youtubers now show obsoleted stations and abandoned electrical plants... Cos they have been very easily obsoleted by the next big thing. Now I get why so man ghost cities everywhere in the world. I am guessing that even some of the biggest and largest farms out there, were once upon an actual time... a scientist ? (Just a guess...)

  2857. Er.... you really don't know what is a "keiretsu's " do you ? They were small businesses... mostly families... And then they consolidated. And why did they do that? Cos in getting pooled resources together, then they could change and innovate. They did not "bring any money" from "outside" into.... Japan... In fact, Japan crashed royally.... way way way before.. the 2008 crash. And even USA couldn't safe it. They experienced shock, and then for the rest of their lives, they literally lived in a recession. And the brand name "Nissan" or all of those global MNCs... They do not touch the local internal market. Similar to the UK. There was a global market, which relied on global financial sectors.. and not local money. In fact, those families suffered because of this... You ought to really open your eyes a lot more before speaking rubbish. When Japanese companies expanded, they literally opened a HQ for that country, so that it is a mere label. So they don't bring YOUR money, into THEIR country... Cos that isn't and wasn't what happened ! The countries that took somebody else's money and kept it, THOSE are the ones that you OUGHT to chase ! Japanese companies structured like most companies like Unilever or whatever.. they kept a business unit for each country and kept their activities localised. So that it is fair accounting. It is the current globalisation that.. we have to watch out for... And when China/PRC joined the WTO... this screwed up the global supply-chain.... And now, the gazillion amount of small and private companies... out there.. hoovering up the world... Collapsing ALL small mom and pop businesses.. THOSE are the ones that you HAVE to be angry about !!! And PRC still feed the supply-chain and factories keep providing components for their techs...

  2897.  @wizard-of-other-oz  : This could be based on currency exchange rates. I quote: " Early Currency in China With a history of over 3000 years, Chinese currency existed in both Ancient and Imperial China. In 1914, the Silver Dollar was established as the official currency of the Republic of China, with copper, fen, and nickel coins being added in the 1930s. During this time silver appreciated in value, and China could no longer retain the silver standard. In 1935, a new currency known as Fǎbì, was issued. Introduction of the Gold Yuan and Chinese Yuan Renminbi The Gold Yuan replaced the Fǎbì in 1948 at a rate of 1 Gold Yuan to 3 million Yuan Fǎbì. That same year, the Yuan Renminbi (often called RMB) was introduced as a way to help stabilize the Communist held areas of mainland China. In 1955, a re-evaluation took place and a new Yuan Renminbi was introduced at a rate of 1 new Yuan to 10,000 old Yuan." So yeh... you can see why, my mobile in 1998.. for 300 pounds, equalled to around half a million yuan ? And at that time, some "cities" had no banks. So then they keep it in the biscuit tins. And cos they don't bank it. Then the numbers run out. So when the numbers run out. They get duplicates. And then they add a new machine, that cannot calculate up to that high figure. So.. it ends up this way. "Uncertain overall GDP figure." Cos basically, systemic errors everywhere... but of course, they say some are legal. Maybe it is, but then they don't say. So often, absorbs some of the old western way to do things. And it ends up worst etc. It goes on and on... etc.

  2901. This German man is also wrongly accusing that these are "collective lands", as in.. it was given to them by the government. But some of these are literally "Imperial lands", cos your family was gifted from the Dynasties and the different Emperors. And they were PAID OFF.. land as well !!! People literally worked, and paid them off. So this means that they are PRIVATE land !!! So what is the government doing, in forcing private lands to be national lands ? Using this kind of situation like these foreign countries, and foreign companies to "compensate" ?! There should be a LAW that says that "no foreign companies CAN buy PRIVATE IMPERIAL CHINESE LAND" !!!! FFS !!!! Even if you come to Europe, you do not see any private companies OWNING those lands !!! They are literally "off limits" !!! What the heck is this supposed to mean ?! And how much compensation should there be ? If the government can afford "compensation", then why doesn't the government just create a "benefit" system then just like so many other countries have ? The UK has it. Japan has it. So why doesn't China have this ? Why must the country joined the WTO, and now to be indirectly forcing the entire country to be "following the WTO's orders" ?!?!.... That is absolutely ridiculous to the tee ! And there should've been boycott as well... Who broadcasted those kind of media news, that enabled that rush towards Shenzen to begin with ? They have a nerve really.... So many people are literally nomads. Cos they have done this once. They will do it again and again and again. Not even considering and know that, many people have lived there like SIX Generations !!!!! SIX ! 6 x 25 = 150 years !!! More than the PRC's formation time !!!! More than the British's treaty with the Qing's dynasty !.... Chi sin....

  2918. Well... this is the thing.... cos this whole "We don't like the USA" angle... that only happened AFTER 97... Cos before that, it was a mere small place... doing its own thing.. and a lot of BRitish companies, and some European companies entered into HK as well to do business. And that partially did happen, only because Britain was also part of the EU too. So those other EU countries decided to do businesses with China. And of course, you also have the backing of the SE Asian countries who also contributed too.. and everything seems to work well.... And this uplifted China, like, A LOT.... (but where did those money gone to in the end?).... So many raised their own countries, back into SE Asia... others, just left... and now... It tries to.. take some form of control. But this kind of case, is like, a "retrospective" case as well now... Cos whatever the outcome, you cannot recreate back the way that the investments happened. (And of course... all or most SE Asians have left too... along with Europeans.. etc etc etc....) He would not be in this predicament, if it was not for the Sino-Joint Declaration being signed etc. (And what China, that is, the PRC is wanting to do.. is actually to rollout their own control... all over... and still want to keep the financial centre, and do one belt one road, but this is not possible any more.) Or at all. (And really, this is also about businesses and money too.... Everybody inside China, knows that it is trying to do "green finance"... whereas the "old commonwealth" is trying to do "old finance".. and we can see who is winning here really.... So... don't trust everything that you read either.)

  2919.  @jl2405  : But the other thing is... you take down Jimmy Lai... the Lai family tree is not going to forgive you as well ? And even now... I think the Lai name... is a strong surname for Vietnam as well.. if my research is correct.. and the Lai family have done a LOT for HK.... and its heritage is even OLDER... than Xi's !!!!! You take down these old chinese family surnames.. and those remaining HANS... This is going to cause CHAOS ! I tell you !!!!! Like, it is not already. Those who always support Northern Hans Chinese, but slowly and over time, take out the Southern Hans Chinese... This is NOT acceptable by any means ??? These family trees are going extinct !..... It is like.. imagine going into Guizhouz... or even Guang Xi... and then kick off... HK was, quite an actual close-knitw autonomous areas... and it has a lot of the older Imperial Civil servants that dated up to.. and around the Song dynasties as well... So for the sake of "Modern day communism".... The entire erasure of these remaining branches of those family trees need to go ? I don't think so !!!!!!! Nobody cares about modern day.... softwares or militaries or whatever... cos these are modern day made rules.. even under a mere 100 years ago.. these things did not exist !!!! And the people carried on, and they prospered ! Don't let these family trees die out. Imagine China, without chinese people? That is a travesty actually... like... this lockdown has not allowed many more individuals being neglected, and killed off? They were. And they did. I didn't get what was going on.... for a long while. Cos it makes no sense. Just because we cannot agree on actually.... what is considered as "news" ???.... So then it means more people dying ???... And this is not even a period of time whereby people are fighting for resources either... Cos there ought to be enough to go round by now. He is right to push back sometimes... And Tang.... (who was also an actual old dynastic name as well).... But then, so was Lai. In fact, the Lai's surname is older than the Tang's....

But today in 2024.. there is now 200 countries. And "All" of these 200 countries want the "exact same thing".. but that is not possible. Cos the 40 countries model after the second world war.. only happened.. cos people created the model today by ... folding and working together to resolve the mistakes... there had been SO many killings and SO many wars... even today.. .the bad feelings has not gone yet. And yet.. in those war torn countries.. those kids.. and those parents.. had no idea what became of them.. and how they came about.... And while the war went on.... in these developed countries.. babies have been aborted for years and years and years... so that they save money to "save" them.... via loans.... Do these warring countries know that kids had been aborted too, in these so called "developed countries" ? I bet not. Right ?... I bet they don't know that these are "legal ways" to kill children. Nobody talks about this "bad news" at all.... at all... Scrimp and save.. to do what... with ?.... Stronger indeed together.. but... well... it takes at least 18 years to educate a child. It takes around 2 to 3 generation to make them even speak fluently in a language. Never mind two languages or three languages.... It took around 160 years to dissolve an "empire"... An empire of around 100 million people.. or of 300 million people.. The second world war, only saw.. 1-2 billion people globally.... But today.. under 3o years... we grew that 2 billion into EIGHT billion people... EIGHT billion people globally.... I wonder if people ever saw or read about these statistics.. I bet not. Despite these global insitutions with these figures at their webpages as well... and yet, these bureacrats still want to make decisions that is against... the rest of us... people are already suffering...

And the thing is.. MANY areas and regions of China.. were not even part of Imperial china... so you basically indirectly created a bit of a monster? And in those earlier days as well.. did you know that, many planes were actually taken down by incompetent chinese netizens? Do you know why some of these individuals are now SO arrogant ? Now ? They don't dare to talk about those things, cos even China had the death penalty back then. So the USA basically created a monster... that is what they have done. The ones that should not have been born were born. And then they killed off the rest of the people as well.. who were more legitimate... See the chaos that it is today ? Not surprised. At all. And now, the same will happen for India. Thailand was destroyed. Vietnam was destroyed too. In fact, Indonesia.. had the original IBM boom before.. and they were gone and let loose as well.. even their regional banks... I didn't even know that there was an equivalent of the World Bank over in SE Asia...NOW... they are hidden away, and taken down as well.. as most people tries to see the USA as power.. when in reality, it isn't white people powering the USA... at all. When the so called PRC joined the world. It shouldn't have done what it did at all... It shouldn't have joined the WTO. At all...

So these children, cannot listen to a tape.. and then to even mimick the sound? You could ! And this is HOW many individuals learnt as well.. I did that with Japanese. I had no idea what I am listening to. My friend made me a tape. I listened to it. I tried to mimick the sound.. and then I broke it down as well too... and then recreate it back up as well ! Many "ethnic minority" celebrities in HK did the same too. THEY did okay ! In fact, they got jobs as singers.. and TV presenters.. the list goes on ! There are a lot of materials from RTHK as well. Also.. because these Western firms and people, refuses to leave HK as well.. It indirectly drags.. the rest of the mainland China... into the tiny HK city itself. So the infrastructures, should NOT have been created AT all.... it should not have done so. So what the government did, is that, they wanted those foreign currencies.. and forced the local cantonese to move away from their own hometown and their heung ha.... By force, by coercion... and more. So I don't get what is the point of wanting these children to teach them anything, at all means ? For a Cantonese city, half the people cannot even speak Cantonese. Don't you think that the city is in financial danger ? Same with the UK actually.. Half the Chinese, don't want to integrate with the overall grand plan of the country to reach net zero either. And they just want to make their own little bit of money. Shouldn't people really deglobalise, at this moment in time ? Genuine question actually. I had no idea that.. with the social media now... Other HK media, are indeed scraping data and info from other netiezens elsewhere as well so.... What really is the point of ANYTHING any MORE ? ....

  2946.  @DreamyCheshire-up9rf : Why should Hong Kongers reject China ? If by "hong kongers", you mean the mixed race non-chinese... then sure.. they should maybe consider their positions. Cos they don't feel connection to the chinese history.. or the land... Under a mere 400 years.. there are so many who isn't chinese any more.. and even when the education sector tries to bring people in. They run off... and don't stay that way either? So therefore not very loyal either way ???.... So then what does this leave ?? It leaves the "patriots"... to be genuinely Hans Chinese... that is what it boils down to. This is what people are running away from. Taiwan, is a very few places that has a large section of Hans Chinese.. but I also do feel that this is also eroding too. Quite quickly.... like, very very fast. (And this "inacceptances" is what has caused inequalities inside HK as well. If you are a foreigner.. you will mix with the local mixed-race elites... whose families have spanned generations.. and they will support you. Above the other local cantonese. )But the reality ? The reality is that, the goods which are often exported out of China.. are normally bought from overseas' chinese to use anyway. So therefore.. since we don't buy it any more. What chances are there for the foreign business men ? None. lol.... So it is a stalemate. What other "one belt one road" is there to be ??? And why doesn't China rise? Well... you cannot expect people to give up their heritages... and lineage.... etc etc etc.

  2972.  @嘻嘻大好人  : He means, the country is too over populated..and it is trying to play catch up... While some people disliked the forced abortions. The same abortion rates actually happened in the UK, and in Europe..Cos it had a war. Their people were so good to raise themselves off the ground, as well as others too. That including migrants like myself. While we worked so hard... who was actually benefitting off the back off our hard work ?? Guess ??? Who was being made as scapegoats ? And starting all of these so called stories here and there ?? That caused a real civil war to happen ?? The GDP will never catch up. Unless everyone just dies out. Even my mother told me not to have children any more. And yet, SO many people do not stop having children... There is a lot of reason why some people want to cut others off. The others, would sacrifice, and give their own hard money back to their children. Even in the UK, this is the same too. It is with... this so called "social layer" in existence that... Some people are still cheeky to have more than one child. Rather than to get their child to make friends and work together. China is meant to be predicted with a sustainable, circular 700 million people.. This is meant to be the goal. It now has around 1.7 billion people. Cos it won't let go of manchuria, tibet.. and mongolia... It now even expand to invade other countries as well.. using money, economic powers.... Be ashamed. Be really ashamed. Even DNA now shows that, the entire country.... only came from like 2-3 family trees... Do you realise this ??? So why is your extended uncle not helping you ?? Do you see the situation here now ??? Shouldn't similar family trees help, one another ??? By "patronage", does he not mean "family trees" ??

  2978. You need to understand the history of china. Cos that South West region is part of the "autonomous region". Meaning that, they run themselves. And what they are a part of, is that, in their so called "reform"... The "PRC" identified around 56 ethnic groups. (I dispute this to some degree, to be honest.) .... So.. by right, the so called "ethnic groups" are nothing more than "clans".. and the Western media had always written it as such that... "those are warlords".... But what if they were... "Imperial Families"? Flip the narratives upside down, and call it..."PRC has around 56 Imperial Clans and trees in the entire PRC Region today." How do you see the situation then ? So therefore, why are those individuals all in government positions? Maybe cos they are the descendents of the Imperial families? Or they basically kept themselves to themselves, including the land that was gifted to them by their ancestors.. and hence, any other individuals... I presume that those specific families living in the outskirts might not be part of those family trees. Cos their ancestors fought off a lot of invaders over the years.. and managed to keep themselves contained. HK once tried to do this too.. it tried to fought off invaders.. but it lost. Lost royally and lost very badly. Despite the latter elites or Imperial elites coming down like a tonne of bricks. They still lost. The latest Agnes Chow is such a sacrifice. I had no idea that her families went as far back as 1500s... Which meant that even before the Dutch or the Portugese or even before the British were there.... And today, HK is lost, is because.. so many "mixed race dispora" took over the entire region... and hence, the current legco.. is so ruined. Cos some people tried to fight back but couldn't. Li Ka Shing was a Canton Imperial Elite.... and even he cannot hold on.. and his second son married into European ancestries... (but he tried to cut him off).... as rightly so. In recent years.. due to the political climate, he tried to gain back his second son's daughters... To strengthen his own position. He did at one point in time... sold out from the mainland... and actually... Well.. his second son went against him. And the rest is history.

  2990.  @user-Wojciech  : When the euro was created, we KNEW it was a "bad idea" ?..... Cos... the so called "offshore world"... did not work out that way.. it was actually accounted for. As in... "every single person, did pay for their contribution part".. and sometimes... why the UK's city is needed and needed to work.. was to "counteract the differences"... The so called "contract of differences" is a "cushion" for discrepencies.. but so many individuals... because of "social media"... want a "1 to 1" ratio... And we can thank China for that ... Cos they sent up gazillion amount of so called...satelites into the sky... and "outed the entire world"... And their so called "fin tech".... basically erased and washed the entire world as "1 to 1"... which is NOT acceptable by any means of the word ????... Why did banks crashed? Why did bank runs ? Even inside China... of the 1.4 billion... There are actual Imperial Dynasties.. or some kept to small units of.... Which is not even making it into the actual Western media... They hold gold, and they hold money... and properties, and land. And yet... so called Western media... or Vice.. or the like of Vice.. isn't touching those with a barge pole.. It goes to show you.. WHY the world has collapsed.... onto itself. And now, we have Lebanon.... the way it is. DW documentary made a VERY good point.... "from farmers to engineers".... in a single generation.. But with social media NOW..... "from farmers, into bankers, and financiers"... I watched an actual youtube video about Lebanon.... They are literally transacting in global finance, using currencies, hard currencies, and that itself bypasses the actual City of London. LOL...... And yet... the European Commission.. wants to get rid of those so called... "contract of differences" ?... When tourisms.. are literally ripping apart the actual financial system itself ? And that people are being made VERY VERY poor.. in a SINGLE week ?... Like, it can happen just like that. The fluctuation is making so many people quite sick imho.

  2993. @MSD Group : Sigh.... before you go on about this. Why not look into history. Just under a mere 200 years ago... There did not exist the UN. There did not exist the "global world order" after the second world war. There did not exist the "8 billion people on the planet".... SO... the idea of joining together as a globe. Creating an international financial system. This was not a mere... lie... This is indeed done, and was created possibly by people way before us as well. It was not until the recent death of the Queen, did I realised that she saw through several wars... and even the creation of many countries' wealth.... When she was a child, the globe's population was just 3 billion. Maybe less than that. And the "British Empire"... was just a mere... like... 100 million people? Which is not a lot. There were indeed other Empires too. And countries. So... why would each country not try to become sustainable and connected ???? The video literally stated that, "the small to medium sized banks collapsed.. and left with a gap that the foreign direct investments filled".... So then it means that, each country will 1) have their own amount of money, and 2) have foreign reserve money too, in USD. By the way.... the USD.... the USA.... the population, had representatives of different countries as well. Just so you know. A lot of people have become American citizens.. and they are merely continuing the work from previously. i.e. Japanese Americans. Indonesian Americans. American chinese too. American Russians. American Germans. American English. So when people keep saying that the US dollar is wrong... Well... if there is no trade, sure, then there is no reason for using different currencies. But since... we do trade, then why won't there be a trade reserve, as well as a domestic reserve ???? On the note about China... it was Taiwan who invested in the US... that raised capitals... and that raised the poverty level inside China, even before the second world war broke out. I hope you know that. So for the current communists.. to forsake the previous generation of work performed by dispora... I mean...WTH... they should've reformed. Since they joined the WTO... it is becoming far more risky... and it is harming the rest of the world, cos we're connected !!!! I will always remember this much.... In 1998. I used 300 pounds, to buy a mobile phone. And that phone was a whopping 400k yuans back inside the PRC. Now... WHO raised WHO off poverty !!?!???? I am so peeved. And now PRC wants to do "zero covid".. What the heck is this !?......

  2998. Harris.. UK did not used to have everybody going to "restaurant". Most working class people, only ate in a factory's canteen. And then you have the elites, who have their own houses, and then they have their own personal larder, and kitchens ? That was how things were in the UK. This is whereby the difference between "working class" compared to "upper class" existed. Then, there are the "Lords and Ladies" of the land, that could actually have cottages and farmers who attend to the land. Those small families would often have a cottage industry, and they would indeed run a small kitchen. The typical small "cafe" came around from this... that country cafe. And the "pubs", were also a thing when people started to move around... and they were basically a stopover when people travelled between cities. You can see the same in HK as "tea houses"... as compared to the typical Imperial Palace style dining, and banquets. The entire "Western Michelin Star opulent dining" model which is found in HK... only came around, because of the trading ports and things, and then people saw HK as a leisure city and port. That is why they increased... It is similar if you travelled into Europe, you will find those old style hotels, with opulent dining restaurants and things. That has not changed. But the modern fast food chain, or chained-restaurants, this is a merely modern concept. Or concept restaurants, this is all new.... and of course, people also started to live in cities, and become urbanisation, that different to living off in farmland or rural land, and this changed everything in how we see food. The prices varies depends on the export and import and taxation. Food is often expensive in Western countries because of economics, pricings, and regulations, and logistic costs. That is why. Whereas in SE Asia, we don't literally add a lot of prices on top, because we discount them.
    1
  2999. The reason why you would see the high prices in London is because the Queen does collect taxes as well. And then landlords often will rise in prices as the operational cost of that building increases. So for example, the major increase in price right now, is energy costs. There is a war in Russia.. and many businesses are impacted by the rise in fuel prices. This is going to add to your cost of food prices. Hence, why the likes of Deliveroos now currently exists, for a short while. Hopefully. Whereas in HK... there is oil, and there is gas, but there is also nuclear plant over the border into Canton and Shenzen area which stabilises prices as well. Hence, many businesses can indeed have a chance to make a profit. This is the ultimate different really. It is also not uncommon for an establishment to actually buy a piece of land and to hold the price. The ethos behind them is not to operate a profitable food business, but they are a holding place for the rise in the property price. This is another discussion... But to eat good food in the UK, always find those little "homely places that everybody knows", and you need to ask around, there would always be one, cos either they have paid off the building, or the mortgage, or that they are in some kind of cooperatives that can allow them to run a decent kitchen. Now, seek those places out. That is my advice. In London, I would indeed recommend places like Japan Centres... those "warehouses turned small kitchen/cafe".. their costs often run to become around say a reasonable 10 pound per meal. There used to be a good 9 pound meal in Chinatown too, but my guess is that, this is not kind of gone... Most would get a "meat brioche bun" from a chinese bakery. < 3 pound. You will notice that many people will actually spend no more than 5 pound for lunch. I definitely recommend a sushi box. Unless you know those hidden alley ways, into local pubs, that also do decent lunches... Again, you need to know people who knows people etc. Oh, people do not dine alone in the UK. This is also not a done thing either.. I know... this is a cultural thing too. This is why those fast rice places are still common and popular in Chinatown. It really is not. And dining is often a 3 course meal thing as well... If I was to work in London again, I would definitely take my own lunch box again. People also tend to steal your sandwiches too in a typical office ! Not funny... but.. I was so mad. Sigh. The world has lost it. I see food as something reachable in my most basic low earnings... but most people do not see it this way. I don't know why. Maybe cos we can see an entire chicken and formulate the different meal plans, whereas most people refuses to even contemplate this notion ! Oh, also, in the UK, people even as office workers, tend to go to the local supermarket and then buy a microwaveable meal and then microwave it at work... That costs around like a 3-4 range.. Not the best ideal.. but... You can see why the UK is an extremely overprocessed place, can't you ?

  3011. Now I get why they do that. They raise the fees, cos the interest rates went up. So it is fluctuating... all of the time ? What they should have done is to have less buildings, and then increase or reduce rents... occasionally.... and write it down in black and in white. So that they could boom, and bust easily. And rotate, and have SOME stores that could be rotational and experimental etc. And some stores to always exist and lock them down. This would have been able to cushion the effects of them etc. Cos if they didn't bust the HK's financial model... and let it become an actual financial centre, and had an exchange that deal with currency exchanges.... Then they would not have this boom and bust cycle. But instead, of IB... what did they do? They made their entire country full of IBs !!! Rather than to have high street banks, separated from their IBs... They did not do that. In fact, that guy that went to jail.. when HK was trying to save what you are now seeing... That did not happen. This is why... when Trump tried to get them to do proper reporting to save themselves.. and to have PRC be an actual global player. They refused. And now, they want those "I am backing my country with a currency" deal... Well... this is like rolling back the world to before the world war. Just after the world war... They basically absorbed their currency inflation from the past. They devalued their currency... so this is why, they will find that things will get more and more and more expensive for themselves soon enough. So I don't even think that the Silk Road is going to be any cheaper. Cos the yuan is too strong actually.

  3018. It is because the government do not want people to waste money on certain projects. Maintaining a good financial sector is the most important in all honesty. But the situation is that, these projects are not useful to the most pressing issues inside China. 1) Their financial sector is collapsing, bank runs... high risky loans, unprecendented. Peer to peer loans. Solutions, inheritance financial products etc. Savings. Child savings account etc. 2) Pollutions. How to reduce the pollutions, why not find ways or to make businesses, that can CLEAN up their own water supplies, and things like that ? 3) Cancer rates. Pesticides in water ways, lack of good clean water. And by that, we do not mean the kind of clean water that you do not see rubbish in them, but clean water as in.. the water has no basic metal bits from the building and the construction sectors.. as well as there are no pesticides inside the water. How about building ionising machines? How about building water detoxification machines? How about planning and building good water ways to provide a good and clean environment first ??? And for those projects, you NEED people to come together and to do it. But the governments or the provincial governors keep saying that they want "businesses".. but in truth.. How can you ? The education sector that you guys talked of... is not even the kind that solve things either... There is nothing wrong in making things yourself, instead of continually reselling things. Even in Japan... they still make those old iron kettles, from scratch. They still make their own plates. So how come China, do not stop with the factories, and start to raise their prices, and really make real items and customised designs? I don't like or want factory made items. I want higher quality products ! Something which is customised, and unique and has only 1 of ! Japan sells 1 item , it charges 100 pound. China sells 100,000 items, and it charges 100 pound. So when will China sell 10 items, and charges 100 pound ? A GOOD and a BETTER quality item ?

  3041.  @googlesbitch  : The fed reserve is nationalised ??? It's like the UK's central bank being national, isn't it ? Has it not always been the case ? All I see of the mainland is that, the North is more like Mongolian rules, and Southern part is like Hans . In HK, they class as pro-establishment and against establishment. I don't even get that model. Or understand what they mean by that. There is also a lot of confusion over HK as well... some people own their lands from generation ago... and shouldn't belong to any ruling government. They invest in it cos they own it. But rules overwriting these, and the push for public housings etc...(Which is a very British thing...cos public mean state-owned. This is why they fight. ) By elites, I presume you mean the red army... when in reality, they were also the previous generation of Mongolians or something... To be fair, I do not agree with how you described the situation inside the mainland.. Cos unless you understood some of the past previous history of China... It would not make sense, but it isn't a case of "nationalists" versus "communists"... cos when they talk... It does not translate to that. In English, this is always the perception. But in reality, this is not so. A lot of people still talk in a way, as if they are living under an actual Imperial Family ??? And on the notes about the "elites"... I recently watched a youtube video.. Which does make sense.... As it showed the royal family tree.. and its associated descendents. If America has actual descendents of European Royal Families... This definitely explains how the politics play out over there.

  3043. North-East dropped below 2, why ? Cos after the war in the NE... some of those women were raped or taken by the Russian men. Some then were left as well. So it ended up with actual... women being left in the NE. And then those women... also doesn't want to have further kids. The one child policy was applied then, especially when some of those individuals weren't manchurians any more.. and those locals reject them as well. This is why.. a one child policy for that region.. would've helped NOT to see an incest situation ! Sensationalising... those "facts"... Let's all look over those facts then. By right... those individuals working in those provinces, should step up and talk TRUTHFUL... along with those women, and consider a regeneration process etc... And collectively raise back an actual steady figure. This is a biased report.. cos considering that during the lockdown of 2-3 years.. the population bumped up another 200 million people... So that is a bit of a biased-lie. And it is untrue that... older people won't consume.Maybe there are no products provided for them ? How about some games for them? Or for them to have walks, and talks.. and tai chi classes along with their friends ? Or very nutritional meals especially for the over 60s ??? How about instead of apps and delivery drivers... how about configuring the techs, so that the elderly spenders, could spend on themselves.. and that their savings is separate from their kids? Like... talk into a kiosk to order their food than to swipe the damn thing ? "I want a light meal with soups. (And I want my child to serve me behind that bar !) " !!! Your money can be inherited by your child? Oh SURE... but why don't you make your own child EARN it ? lol..... Sorry... but this is just.. other countries does it this way !!!

  3050. They're not falling apart though.. are they ? They are making mince meat out of us.. cos they didn't put in actual strict control... like.. how could they change their own financial systems.. without asking the rest of the world to begin with ? Read this for a laugh. "Early Currency in China With a history of over 3000 years, Chinese currency existed in both Ancient and Imperial China. In 1914, the Silver Dollar was established as the official currency of the Republic of China, with copper, fen, and nickel coins being added in the 1930s. During this time silver appreciated in value, and China could no longer retain the silver standard. In 1935, a new currency known as Fǎbì, was issued. Introduction of the Gold Yuan and Chinese Yuan Renminbi The Gold Yuan replaced the Fǎbì in 1948 at a rate of 1 Gold Yuan to 3 million Yuan Fǎbì. That same year, the Yuan Renminbi (often called RMB) was introduced as a way to help stabilize the Communist held areas of mainland China. In 1955, a re-evaluation took place and a new Yuan Renminbi was introduced at a rate of 1 new Yuan to 10,000 old Yuan. The Renminbi in Foreign Exchange During the command economy, the Chinese Yuan Renminbi was set to unrealistic exchange values and as a result, severe currency guidelines were put in place. When China's economy opened in 1978, the Yuan Renminbi was only used domestically and foreigners used exchange certificates; this led to a powerful black market. From 1997 to 2005, the Chinese government pegged the Chinese Yuan Renminbi to the US Dollar at approximately 8.3 CNY to 1 USD. In 2005, a flexible mechanism of exchange rates was phased in, with the RMB being re-evaluated to 8.1 Renminbi per US dollar. The Chinese government launched a pilot program in 2009, allowing some businesses in Guangdong and Shanghai to execute business and trade transactions with counterparties in Hong Kong, Macau, and select nations. The program has since expanded to all areas of China and all international counterparties. China has also made agreements with Australia, Japan, Thailand, Russia, and Vietnam to allow for direct currency trade, instead of converting to the US Dollar. As a managed float, the Renminbi's value is determined by a basket of foreign currencies." From before second world war... 1 new yuan to 100 000 old yuans. And then... 1 yuan to 8.3 us dollars. And now... ALL "foreign banks"... literally.... connects to Chinese banks... And they are inflating US....!!!... And those are credit card DEBTS !!!... So they blow us up... to be unaffordable... And then get us to buy their goods... etc etc. Do you see? So it is like... I hold the... fire touch... I heat up the pan that you are standing on.. and I make you jump and dance for them. Do you feel this is correct ???

And bad-mouthing your employer, outside of the office, or indeed bad-mouthing them, so that your customers, or your clients could hear. Well... this is bringing down your employer into disrepute isn't it ? And with the increasing usages of "online media", this is getting worst !!!! This is why, most people cook at home, and then you go to work. And most of the time, work or dining is mostly corporate entertainments as well. i.e. People let their hair down, and to socialise and to NETWORK (for WORK PURPOSES. NOT FOR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP AND ONE NIGHT STANDS !!!!)... If people do not get what is going on, and why... then they should not be allowed to go out of the house or something. Adam here has access to global "private AND corporate communication". Now... which road will he take, and what will he edit, or not edit ? What he spoke of, does not even reflect that of the UK... And he certainly has not done his homework, with regards to the fishing supply which was cut off in the UK due to joining the EU too.... He COULDN'T even get THAT BIT RIGHT ! So it's an ultimate edited form of a lie, isn't it? Cos he basically does not know. People follow the laws here in the UK, or as much as they could. Same as Japan as well, cos many things are structured. Just because outsiders in SE Asian countries do NOT know. Does not CARE to follow their own countries' laws. Does not mean that others won't, and shouldn't, and can't. Cos they should, and did, and will do so.

  3070.  @RePhantomz  : You don't even understand the context of that what we are talking about, do you ? When in work, work. When in personal time. Be in personal time. When dining out. Dine as a group. Dine at a networking event. Socialise. Most people eat together with their families, at home. This is my point. So this "singleton dining out thing" is not a done thing in the UK ? Or in Europe ? Most people either dine in their company's canteen, or that they grab something from the supermarket and heat it in their office's canteen, or get a salad and eat outdoor, in a park. THAT is the ultimate culture here. Oh, Adam forgotten something as well.. which I know he doesn't know... In HK...(well, post 97 50 years now, it will happen this way any way. We knew it. We got it. It will do.) WELL... Many people usually dine together AS a mega big group, is because of polygamy. You tend to dine as a group, when you are related to those people as well. Back in those days, whereby a lot of families are often recruited or worked in the exact same company... Then.. they do have this mega "big group event" to "dine out" together. It is very rare not to do so... and it is super rare if you did so, even when you are not related. And then somebody ordered like a big mega thing, which they want to force you to eat, but you don't want to eat it, cos it is so expensive, and it p!sses you off. Back in those days... HK was like that as well. This is how to tell... who is trying to con you out of a meal. That was totally a thing in corporate life as well. Some managers will take a personal hit. Others will put it to the company's expenses... Some will end up being fired, basically. So yeh... story of HK. Those days why their stock market fluctuated a lot, and those "oligarchs" literally... killed the economy. The end. Li Ka Shing never made his money in and from HK's actual population.. His money was made overseas... Of course, many people don't know that. Don't care either. And this is why in Vietnam.. you now have this weird.. upsidedown thing.

  3072.  @wirewyrm01  : In the UK, and in Europe... there are "food" and resources... but the government do not let you, or allow you to farm or to take those things. It is illegal... Well.. most lands are literally landowners, and it is owned by somebody. So therefore, you cannot just go to a farm... and pick somebody's crop. Despite... even those some of the people WERE the descendents of those landowners, THEY... still cannot just grab that crop. Of course, this is now different.. cos people can walk in a "public" place.. and fields. This was a change in the actual government though... Cos we split the government from the citizens... This kind of change, is how come, even if you are not British, you could travel into the UK. Don't assume that this isn't a priviledge in any way.... Similar thing exists in HK as well... but the thing is.. nobody is protecting the landowners any more. Even Japan would not do this. And nor would South Korea.. i.e. If those are the land owners, then they ARE the landowners. You just DON'T dispute THIS !!!! For them, they integrated those landowners into their political structure... So yes... There is something inherently wrong.. in how people perceive things today. The USA is basically quite a new country... in comparison to the rest of Europe. In Europe, everything is "paid" for... You have to pay your way. In China.. it should NOT be a USA !!!! The way that the PRC is forcing the country to be... and forcing USA to accept that, there is only "one china"... Is absolutely ridiculous !!! There IS no One China...!!!! It is made up of many countries !!!!...... How can 1.2 BILLION be a "SINGLE COUNTRY" !!!!

  3076.  @jovimathews  : I don't think she knows or gets what and why... She may be right about the books.. but.. how we can piece together, is because the "Writing on cave walls" existed. So we know. Also.. we also know that..."DNA" also do not lie. So this is how we know. Plus, the science aspect can rebuild a set of facts. Of course, this removes the emotions and the rationales to the story. Maybe this is why she doesn't seem to think that this is true. And in terms of Hans DNA... why Southern and Norther Hans DNA existed... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpC1P6me5Ko&t=302s It is because, there was a Northern and Southern division going on. And that resulted in those people's DNA being as such. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_and_Southern_dynasties Science can rebuild back the history.... but of course.. it does not give it contexts. That link, states... You are classified as a "Southern Hans".... because.. YOUR DNA.. is also linked back to Qing Emperor as well. This is a fact. And of course, he possibly gifted his "army" which are most likely to be his sons or descendents.. Kind of like.."Go away from the palace now and have your own house and land", kind of thing. To call them Army or Military leaders, is somewhat odd. But.. He was the Yellow Emperor, and that was indeed his name. I love how so many people here.. just assume this kind of decentralised titles.. lol... I don't think she understands why some scientific papers refer to "southern Hans". Well.. that link shows it exactly why. The exact percentages and then the comparisons of why. Mostly at least 70% O3. For both North and South. It is almost exactly, which is surprising.. except for the tiny yellow.. I don't know what DNA that is. It is funny how it does reflect the history as well. Most odd.. but believable.

  3078. I find that you find this amusing. I consider myself as British Cantonse. Even before I had a 4G phone.. I classed myself as a British Chinese. But I no longer uses the general term "chinese" than I do "Cantonese"... Cos I am what I am. My parents and grandparents can trace the family roots in HK.. and then also into Canton. Today.. even in HK.. the current set of citizens neglects.. and do not class themselves as Chinese, or Cantonese.. but as "Hong Konger"...... Never mind this... The people that went... into HK... were not necessarily the people with the money and then they invested. It was that, they were there under the British rule.. and administrated and took a commission. Whereas people like my family.. I am sure and certain that we were bonded. i.e. Worked into the UK.. and get paid a salary.. and then they taxed the goods as well. I am sure that this is what was the transaction.. and then those taxes went back into the city to build infrastructures. So who built where ??? Whose hardwork built where ?? Today.. when I see the issue of.... If my grandparents were the bonded slaves..and we traded for a future. And then my parents generation were... there that also did the farming as well.. and paid the land taxes too.. and so forth. Then why should we not own that house, outright ?!...... We use our savings to buy the building materials and we traded. So it is honest payments and honest work. None of this "I did nothing for nothing" business of India. We literally counted chickens and counted money. So why should this be thrown away ?!!!???..... If people have been paying their houses off.. and paid taxes as well... slowly over like at least 100-150 years... WHY should they NOT actually protect their own assets from being stolen or cheated away ?!!?!?!!?...... !!! And this is NOT Racism !!!!!... THIS IS ETHICAL MOVE !!!! Why can't people past their ancestor's house. Even if it is broken down to their next generation ?!!?!?!!.....

  3086.  @Mike__B  : It is like rice, nobody would know how to cook or eat it. And to be honest, not all food produce could be eaten in Europe. Cos their genetic ancestries doesn't allow them to produce or to eat certain types of good? So this has to be controlled.. As much as there are a lot of different foreign foods available now in the UK. I think we are nearing that point of "poisoning ourselves" with the way which we consume any old thing. Rice is similar as well... Most people who are grown up with rice, knows how to cook it properly.. the process is long, and it is controlled.. and it is tedious... But we should really have a strong control point as well. I am already starting to see "cannabis in oat milk".... which I am screaming at, AND about !!!!! Who let that one through the door? It is absolutely crazy. Quinoas.. at the moment are sold via "health food shops", many people, DO associate it more as "medicine" than they are "food items". This is a bit of a loophole.. but those who wants to deal with these kind of things, NEED to be ethical in how they market this product as well. Look at what a mess we have made regarding rice, or soya beans. No wonder people are going crazy... and why local quinoas are being sold. i.e. the kind that is genetically compatible with the local population. If I bought this, I would like they do.. mill it, and powderise it and cook it as an addition to soup like barleys. If consumed as a whole grain.. I presume that it is merely for as a fibre, than anything. Cos the body cannot break it down. And we should not try to do so. There is a lot of ignorance in knowing how to treat grains in the UK in general... so...

  3089.  @dnomyarnostaw  : I am British Cantonese, of course I know what the HECK is going on !!! And it ISN'T how you are presuming it to be !!! "Early Currency in China With a history of over 3000 years, Chinese currency existed in both Ancient and Imperial China. In 1914, the Silver Dollar was established as the official currency of the Republic of China, with copper, fen, and nickel coins being added in the 1930s. During this time silver appreciated in value, and China could no longer retain the silver standard. In 1935, a new currency known as Fǎbì, was issued. Introduction of the Gold Yuan and Chinese Yuan Renminbi The Gold Yuan replaced the Fǎbì in 1948 at a rate of 1 Gold Yuan to 3 million Yuan Fǎbì. That same year, the Yuan Renminbi (often called RMB) was introduced as a way to help stabilize the Communist held areas of mainland China. In 1955, a re-evaluation took place and a new Yuan Renminbi was introduced at a rate of 1 new Yuan to 10,000 old Yuan. The Renminbi in Foreign Exchange During the command economy, the Chinese Yuan Renminbi was set to unrealistic exchange values and as a result, severe currency guidelines were put in place. When China's economy opened in 1978, the Yuan Renminbi was only used domestically and foreigners used exchange certificates; this led to a powerful black market. From 1997 to 2005, the Chinese government pegged the Chinese Yuan Renminbi to the US Dollar at approximately 8.3 CNY to 1 USD. In 2005, a flexible mechanism of exchange rates was phased in, with the RMB being re-evaluated to 8.1 Renminbi per US dollar. The Chinese government launched a pilot program in 2009, allowing some businesses in Guangdong and Shanghai to execute business and trade transactions with counterparties in Hong Kong, Macau, and select nations. The program has since expanded to all areas of China and all international counterparties. China has also made agreements with Australia, Japan, Thailand, Russia, and Vietnam to allow for direct currency trade, instead of converting to the US Dollar. As a managed float, the Renminbi's value is determined by a basket of foreign currencies."

  3093.  @HKim0072 : HK was fine when it did have an actual FX exchange. Cos now what... now they are realising that actually.. the figures aren't right ? Aren't correct? Why ? "Introduction of the Gold Yuan and Chinese Yuan Renminbi The Gold Yuan replaced the Fǎbì in 1948 at a rate of 1 Gold Yuan to 3 million Yuan Fǎbì.

Weren't they counted and taken back up ? What happened to those ones then ? And then, what about the new yuan ?? Didn't they think about merging the banks together, so that, they COULD indeed get those money back? And make sure that, it tallies? Every single one of them ??? And they don't want an exchange to deal with these discrepancies ? Do they REALLY think that shorting is about shorting to make money, or did they think that it was actually to cushion this kind of risk element, when those money find its way back into those banks, and then counted or knocked off the checklist ????? So these banks doesn't have insurance or a vehicle to deal with fake moneys ? Or whatever ? Oh how WEIRD indeed !!!! You depreciate your currency and has no mechanism to find them find its way back. And yet, you don't think about how to keep the economy afloat either. What was the name of that guy... that one that suggested some kind of securities exchange.. it was securities wasn't it ?.... The high street banks that turned investment bank, that turned into an actual central bank. What the flying H does this government want ???

"my point is xi want to change the industry structure from relying on real estate to mid to high end manufacturing" <-------- THIS is already happened. It HAS already happened. the North-Western side of China, has converted from mining, into robotics already. It has DONE. Auntie is 46 this year already.... your asumption that, a population of 1.3 billion people, could be actually NOT have at least 100k people doing this type of work ? They DO exist already ! Maybe it was not inside Shanghai. Or that it was not in the city that you are brought up in. And that is why, your piece of news, or whatever news you have read, is only isolated to your region.. but what about the rest of the society ????.... Auntie has seen gazillion amount of chinese people, turning over in and out and in and out of the city that I raised in. And also, when I left HK... it was still quite less developed. Now ? Now it has become an actual land bank. i.e. Mainland chinese, used the land.. and use the governor of HK... to raise capital.. for their own debts, back inside the mainland.. So that they could maintain their position in the structures. Let's be honest here. We ALL know what corruption looks like !!! And so many million films, movies.. about corruptions... It goes on and on... In other countries, they stay in the same city and live for many years. They try to make it stable... They don't leave. Why does so many chinese often always move around the entire country ? And why always often, take the resources from another region, and call it "profit" ????.... Your so called CIA romantic story... sorry... but you are warped. If you think that, the entire economic situation was merely to do with those so called "protests".... Those videos are deleted, could really be because, they don't want to rock the structure of the political system. How could a 1.3 billion be called "a country" ? It is not. It is an actual united nation in and of itself !!! A chinese united nation... this is what it is ?.... Even in Europe.. people don't tend to lie.. They tend to be honest with each other as well. Especially if their lives are going to be impacted. "I am running out of money.. we cannot make this move." Or a "we don't have this budget, but we can squeeze back out the money from here".... HONESTY !!!!

  3108.  @bay29 : You cannot really say that this is "corruption".... cos.. IF indeed the PRC had an actual Health & Safety law.. then going against this specific issue, is indeed, and could indeed be seen as an actual "corrupt against the H&S law"... but I am guessing that they don't have this anyway ? SO... therefore.. if indeed, they are a budget contrained issue, and situation, "at that time".... Going with their flow... instead of creating more of a budget deficit... is indeed the right way to monitor their own economy though. Isn't it ? Do you know, how much... vocals... they have against this specific project ? And did you know, how long it took them to derisk, and remove the death penalty? I used to think that, they should indeed bring back the death penalty... but I never knew that... actually, it used to be abused, so therefore removing this means actually... an actual better situation. I can just imagine, how frugal they must have to be... and if it was not for foreign overseas' chinese both buying, and also remitting money back home.. Then I don't think that they could even have pulled it off to this extent. I never knew this is what went on... Right now... I think the risk is higher... cos it seems that... the situation has now escalated into something else altogether. i.e. The control of the media, or the control of jobs and economy etc.... It isn't wrong per se... for China, to use their best resources to achieve their own objectives. Which is electronics. They can create better concrete now.. and hire more chemists to create better "fillers".. to backtrack and to mend this specific project. And if they need to use softwares to do stimulation now. Then that is their strengths, isn't it ? Utilise their best educated individuals... is the way to go, since they are already educated. Maybe they also need to reduce this meritocracy civil servant thing as well... and have some areas, as just small villages or more autonomous areas.. etc etc etc... Without impacting anything else. Use another regional currency if it helps etc. Help create mini 60-70 million "provinces" that acts like most European countries, with their own currency control, without such impacts.. etc etc.... That is how they should resolve things. IMHO. And they need to ring-fence these kind of capital projects. And make sure that it has its own controlled finances, and have a team of finance analysts that does the entire audits, from end-to-end etc. So that this can indeed be discussed as need be etc. They have so many people... The only reason originally why the PRC hit the mark in growth was because they had a lot of consultants too. So to put them down now, seems somewhat nonsensical... cos it was both US and UK consultants that entered into the chinese market etc. You cannot fight so many actual fires at the exact same time.

  3120. Why is it stupid? It has ALWAYS existed.... Just that you don't know. And maybe this is why HK seems to have SO many transient people. Some people, or a lot of people, are literally HK citizens for generation.... This kind of immigration control have always existed in many of the British Commonwealth countries before. Nothing new. Even during the second world war... when there weren't any planes. You still have to do this kind of declaration before you board ANY ships to do ANY work to the USA or to Europe. Sorry... but rules are rules. It seems to be that in 2022... A LOT of the millennials have NEVER experienced this kind of thing before. Well.. about time that you did. Cos life seems to be easy for you then... Well... people did it. So.... you should have to "plan" a trip. I read on some random article... I knew that... HK had a 8 million population. But... somebody stated that...around "30 million of 'tourists'" visits every single year. I'm like...WTH ? What ?....WHO ???...WHY ????..... Why ? That is insane. Even if you get around a big 2 million visitors PER year... This is good enough. 30 million ?! So how come... where are the hotels then? Is this why there is an increased density situation in HK... and the walking petition had like around 1 MILLION people ?!!?!.... Judging from people's responses, they assumed that, all those 1 million has come to the UK. Wrong... some ran back off to the mainland !!! Cos they know that they cannot make money, or live the life that they wanted before. Before 1997... There certainly did not have a 30 million tourists... figure.. Definitely NOT. That is so ridiculous that it is surreal....OMG.

  3131.  @hantaoj1911  : But you did not fill in the background information as well. Even though these "nobles" had titles.. say a military one, they are effectively, protecting their own lands ? Cos when they are Nobles.. even though they do not have the top seat, say that, they are not the Emperor... kind of similar to Europe.. the King... is whoever happens to be born of that family, and that wife. So since China had the concubine system as well.. and different races/dynasties... The child of other mini-Kingdoms... Those children, will get their fair share of designated and gifted land. So yes.. they are already landlords. So why do they need to work in the Imperial Palace to begin with ? The Imperial Palace is for the ruling King. all the other mini-Kings.... in their own mini-Kingdoms.. do not have to pay taxes either ! The commoners that do not have royal blood.. they are workers, they can end up to be farmers. And if the child of this commoner, manages to past exams...(and basically know how to behave and have manners and ettiquettes), then they can enter the Imperial Palace... and to discuss "how to control and operate the entire Kingdom with the ruling King"... He can then, decide or be given the chance and opportunity to decide on how to decide on his own family's destiny ? Considering that all taxations and things, are going to affect this commoner's life. He is there, because he has first hand life experiences... and not because he is like a bloodline lineage.... If you put it like this: Main King - no need to pay taxes Mini Kings - no need to pay taxes Mini Kings - no need to pay taxes Mini King /Military person - If there is fear that somebody will conquer and take their lands.. or that, the other regions are angry, and want to conquer all. Then this title is created, and they are basically waiting to go to war. Commoner - need to pay taxes Farmers - need to pay grains. Only after they have their fare shares, any left over goes to the communal pot.

  3141. For anyone who could read the old traditional chinese character sets... and if they read wikipedia, and then the chinese format as well... I think there is a mega big mistranslation which went on. I am beginning to think that this was deliberately done. How could the situation get so bad ?? All I know is that, historically speaking, and we are talking about going way back into the 2000 BC (before Christ)... back then, there were the people who lived near the two main rivers of China. The Yellow River, and the Yangzte.... These are, and most people classify as Hans.. or "Xia" (or.... "Hua" in Cantonese).... because... Either you could argue that, they were the same set of people, or were two sets. Some of these people moved upwards to be Northern, and population what became Korea, and Mongolian etc. However, there was this other oddball migration from the West China... which were actually from Europe !! It is this group, which brought the "dynastic model"... and Imperialism... Somehow, their dynastic model... became like a national model or other.. but then not everyone knew or accepted this. Hence, the continuous fightings and so forth... and then inter-marriages and "gifting" when the war was won, or if you took one side over another etc. This is why when ROC won the "Middle Kingdom" briefly... it only accepted that China had 5 major races. Not 56 tribes !!!! And the 56 tribes are kept getting state benefits... and now, the CCP members want to migrate them, and turn them into economic slaves... and move them into urban areas, in order to boost GDPs etc. This is why people are rebelling... From zero debt, to high debt. Outrageous.

Then can they not farm as well, and then send us back the money, and then they get a savings account to hold that money ? Isn't this how the ex-commonwealth countries WERE built on before ! Yes, it WAS !!! The problem that went wrong with the past, is not the idea of a Commonwealth but because the commonwealth areas and regions ended up being invaded. That is what literally happened. All except the ones that were islands.. and was not easily attacked. All the lands ones, have been absorbed, or attacked by the masses... and this is where we are at now. Literally. To think that, people... like traders that traded TEA LEAVES... were killed.... over TEA Leaves ! Back in the day. And a lot of social media happens now.. But how many people, literally ever thought to themselves..... "Actually, somebody in the USA defended my tea leaves, and this is how I got my pay and my salary".... Grown men, fighting one another, over tea leaves, and killed one another over this, and they died. How many commonwealthers literally think about it like that today ? Meanwhile, China is doing a bank run.. lol.... Well... There comes a time whereby one does not care any more. Let the world be, the way it would be. Even if you leave a country, come back, it's changed already.. and not what is said.. or whatever... My mom left HK in her 20s.. I went back and it was a metropolis already. And now, 40 years on, it is a concrete jungle just like NYC. Nobody cares, and certainly nobody gives a damn... And the usual thing too. The coolie/slaves or labourers on the ships. The ships have gone... and these individuals just want to stay. Nobody has told them anything, they never got to learn to speak the lingo. Nobody ever told them what's happened to their companies.. and what... and why... They still live in NGOs... and do not know what to do. Even the USA has actually removed the conditions in some of their supplies from reaching those ports.. They still do not know what to do. I am glad that I stayed in the UK and not went to find my fortune in Europe.. Cos I too would've been stranded back there too. Cos we were growing as a country, as a block.... and as usually.... once bitten, twice shy. Once cheated... not again. It is also strange for me to realise that.. a lot of people in the UK were also once upon a time... Europeans as well.. and then when war broke out, they fled their country. So then, they never did rebuild back their countries either. Cos I didn't know that was what truly went on either. That is still a surprising thing for me to find out, and about. No wonder there were a lot of people who wanted to tap into the actual HK network... Cos they saw them as allies, didn't they ? Back then...

  3148. They were overcharging you anyway.... and this is the exact issue with China.. the so called PRC. Cos they don't do normal. As in, they don't do correct audits and calculations etc. They have had a lot of bank runs as well.. and this kind of increase, without controlling their currency rates and ratio.. is also a form of "printing money" as well. But the man does not know that, cos they assume that to raise the actual ratio to pay off their own debts, is enough. That is how dangerous it is to give an uneducated man, in charge of money. (And there are also issues like, forcing rural individuals.. to be living in the urban areas. e.g. Those rural citizens, they have paid off their land, and live off their land.. and is debt free. So now, they want those individuals to be moved into the urban cities, to carry the debts of those idiots.... Even in the UK, and in Europe.. people don't do that. If you provide rental.. then you don't try and raise the prices and the ratio.. to be non-sustainable ?... Cos what would you do then ? ) PRC should NOT have joined the WTO at all. They have world bank's offices there.. and couldn't even handle this. And at the same time, they are ultra.. sadistic.. sadistic in the sense that, they have the blue print of ALL countries' actual financial model.. as provided by the World Bank as well... And as you can see. This is ultimate carnage ! With so much support.. and know the insider details of other countries as well... and they opt for this option ? WTF indeed. VERY irresponsible.

  3149. You need to understand something... HK's media, music, advertising industry is over excessive already. That is before the introduction of actual laws, AND regulations AS well.... I have watched this video, and I cannot for the life of me, thinks... WHY and HOW did this "Singaporean journalist", without being an actual qualified citizen. i.e. Holding the British Citizenship... managed, to get an actual "Freedom of information" from the central government. THIS should not have happened. Cos this is what a terrorist does. Secondly.... people abroad, read something online, and assume that they can follow, and DO the exact same thing. The NSL... law.... including, or is going to include elements like..."do not publish any laws, as if it is fact, when you are not the qualified individual TO publish"..... People do not see these video makings, or small projects, as an actual violation of publishing laws as well. In different countries. We can thank China... for not curbing this aspect. And I also blame myself too, being a spectator, the end consumer... to be touting, such rubbish, and fuelling their own so called "Sales driven techniques"....!!!! By right, we should report such issues and things, into the correct dept !!! Cos this is enough. Enough is enough. Absolutely despicable, and absolutely deplorable. So many people advocate for online harm to be taken seriously... and so many people advocate that such global companies TO be sued.... This is the ultimate discrimination. This is why.. .so many of these so called TV channels. Have ABSOLUTELY zero respect, and also their editors DON'T filter either ! Based on bad consumer practises.... Cos this is blatant bullying.

  3151.  @stischer47  : The thing is, even as an oversea's chinese, I don't agree with this. The harshness of the consolidation of the entire country. And this is whereby you often hear some pratts.. I figured out who they are... That is the Thai-Chinese non-Hans' pratts.. in wanting and needing to monetize something, in the pursuits of what.. exactly ?.... Many people did indeed live off grid and off land. And they were okay. It is often the case of needing to reform for the sake of reform, and then everything is lost or gone... kind of thing. Sigh... I dunno... and then there are the insubordination issues.. like... .. helping a chinese here once they move here into the UK, say. And then these ladies act like they are about to... They basically bump you off... lol.... Despite, your taxes, goes to their school and their pots... but they will feel the need to feel hungary hungry.. and bite a piece of your sodding arm. Despite her.... or her boss telling you that, "we pay our own ways"... Sure.. as heck, you are. Cos it was our taxes, that built the school.. that gave you money and gave you also healthcares as well... so you coming in to open a sodding bank account and a stage, and then retell the tale.. and forget other people's money, their actions, and their wealth generation actions AS well..... !!!! I am sooooooo maaaaaad !!!!!!.... Jealousies is not a good look, I know... but sometimes, you just wanted to say... "Hey... you.... there.... just... ssszzzzup !.....".... Grr.... I once heard another lady batted back. She said.. "yes, yes, yes.. it is aaaall my fault....".... And then she walked off. lol... Maybe I was not raised in those conditions. lol.... And I thought that fighting for affection from your mother against 3 other siblings were tough enough... lol..... Ohhh... I am soo wrong. lol...

  3154. In all honesty? Yes... there were a lot of Romas people in and out of my hometown. I have met them. I have seen them. They were talked about. And THEN... when the "Youtube and Facebook" happened.. all hell broke loose too. Facebook also had investors like Li Ka Shing...(HK's oligarch... from .. and he took over Three as well As Hutchinson's wealth as well.. as well as Superdrugs... That was when we joined the EU.. and UK's manufacturing moved into Europe.. and was asset stripped.... So this is why you can no longer find health care products here in general. Just small laboratories doing small legal batch stuff. Cos most of the patents have been hoovered back into France. Yeh.. well....) This is why "Sasa" and all of those actual... and like Sephora.. They were, you can find them in the USA.. and not in the UK... Cos we held onto our own NHS.. and took down a different route.. cos of the bullying from the UK level. It is one thing to attack the pharma.. and then it is now the food chain... If this does not really p!ss some people off.. I don't know what will. I hope that the US side, can go jump. Where I reside now.. is flooded with mainland Chinese... and some of them don't even have banking provisions.. using all of these so called tech , or fin techs.. Some even dared to introduce some fake bank notes. So yeh.. UK is down because of all of that. And of course. Home Office does NOTHING... And Ireland thinks that "fin tech" is fine... (But they don't realise that China has no money to pay them back. Same with India... Haven't done my Indian research yet....) This is because some of the large banking call centres were outsourced to India.. but some people abused that.. and started to steal from their own companies... And this is why now.. when you search around youtube.. you will find that they took their "skills" and created fake companies.. and kept on randomly calling businesses in the UK for their scams... (But I think either the militaries or the police are blocking them from doing ultimate damage.) I cannot believe the amount of corporate fraud (stealing) that goes on. This is something that Indian government HAS to address, whether they like it or not. Prosecute them, if they must. (Which they do not.)

  3179.  @coastcity7029  : During the lockdown, all countries, took back their debts, and their money from the opposite countries... So this is why now, we have hyper inflation in many regions... And this is why also... China, they listed all their tech companies on the Beijing stock exchange. And then also... they forced Russia to sign oil deals with them. But Russia is now meant to give their oil to China, and withdraw from Europe !!! And Europe went into shock, cos the oil from Russia is a lot ? (Europe merely survived the last winter.. but this coming winter, is going to be a big problem too. And this is why the foreign companies, all exited out of China. China also did not have enough energy too. They released their oil to help the global price. But then.. they had to also close their own factories too. And many stores also closed too. The same with UK... and presumably Europe. Netherlands, had an indoor farm, and their government also forced them to closed down their farm too. Cos it took too much energy.) So yeh.... not everybody is happy with China's decisions !!!! i.e. They took the oil that is meant for Europe from Russia.. for their own use. Cos Australia wouldn't sell more coal to them. And yet, they still want to sell more things abroad and export ? But most people don't want to buy chinese goods any more. Cos they keep going round. It is the SAME second hand, or even third hand things. All the time !.... You just need to look at what is happening in HK and in SE Asian countries to know that the same goods circulates round and round several times.... FYI... Africa also reduced their electricities as well. Sri Lanka went into shock. Also, Lebanon also went into shock too. Cos they had an explosion... and it wiped out their city. Hyperinflation across Europe...

  3185. It is the West's "imagination" that there is a parliament in China. But there is not. It is the "West" perception, but there is not. These "reporting companies", are, literally, if you see them as an extention of the actual Imperial Dynasty. Call it their close second department or unit or something. So you let intelligence, of a country, into the parliament of another country ? You do not. You would not. So Xin Hua should not either. Cos if you read on wiki, they report directly into the government's dept. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinhua_News_Agency I read this link a little while ago.. and it said explicitly that, it was under the State Council.. but now, it is elaborated into more "fancy" framework and structure... So yes... whenever China has reformed their political structure, it seems that nobody outside in the whole wide world knows about it. And nor do those so called "employees" globally, tells you and update you about it !!! This is why the situation is SO dire !!! The way that Xinhua has reformed, means that they are a chinese government department... and has absolutely NO right to be so close to the Australian government ! Xin Hua is not like normal Western media, which checks the rights and wrongs of the government, and their actions and decisions. They are a direct department of the government ! If this is so, and to be the case, then how come, they do not just publish government policies only ? Why are they going abroad, and doing stupid investigative reportings ? Absolutely nonsense. Instead, the so called CCTV, is the one doing the policy spill... and not Xin Hua. Isn't this weird ?? The CCTV now have morphed into a new entity as well. CGNT....

  3209. That is because the EU asset stripped the entire UK.. along with the US moves? So when the USA had the crash.. it came to London... but what did Germany do ? did it help Greece? Not really. did they help Ireland? Not really. All but slowly forced to integrate.. So how come I don't see Germany move some gold to the Irish bank then. I don't see them do that. Isn't this meant to be "one for all, all for one" ? They say that in name.. but they don't literally do that. UK closed a lot of their farms. suppressed them as well.. only for Netherlands to increase their production.. and if you read this entire thread..... Look how they diss us. "But you are not educated like WE are..."... actually, a lot of Brits are very very good people. They stayed behind to hold up the forte. And then indirectly.. the investments, or so called investments came.. But in truth.. they are just a way for the USA, and various Russian companies even.. the likes of IBM... was here... and then they got other buildings... and then left. Same with Cadbury's. asset stripped. Listed in the USA as Mondelez. Same with many small companies... and Unilever gobbled them up. Spun them around. Was doing ok and doing dual listing.. and now also removed one of the listing too. The Dutch never stopped with their offshores either ! Boots. The same too. Migrated it into Europe.. and then those French fashion houses consolidated them all.. and did perfumes manufacturing too from their side. Using American technologies to build their automated systems. And then sold to the globe. We know. Every single company in the USA... is like that... asset stripped UK's... and then sold across the globe. Most people are merely following their brands only. And UK only.. at best... maybe get a tiny commission for the old brand names. After all that has happened... read the above comments.... Just read it. Are these by people with a conscience, or not ? And now, they throw out the salt onto the wound as well.... Well.. Als, the East European's perspectives.. I bet they didn't know such things right ? To think that.... when I was a school kid.. My teacher forced me to give up my toys, to donate to Romanians children. Cos they were worst off than me. When should I give up my toys ??? But I did.... To say that... UK is like.. being bullied and trod on... I mean... And yet, THEY get to be angry ??????? There are at least around a good million people, with a graduate degree, AND a PhD... as well.. that does dishes and washes dishes, cos they were.. what... outed by so many Europeans. Ask the average Brit.. how they treated the older generation of chinese nationals from the 1970s and the 1980s.... What they have written is super poncy.

  3229. The more I watch these videos. The more I don't think that these are "mortgages"... They are more like... "imperial land sales".. or something to that effect. So how come they don't have those rural lands then ? What happened to those banks? And why did those local and lower level banks went bankrupt before? And why now, the central government is controlling with a central bank model? They shouldn't do that... at all... It is weird that even local banks could do foreign currency exchanges, despite them not selling anything. How is that possible? This is why their so called "shadow banking" sector... is collapsing.. I think they tried to circumvent that from happening, but it didn't work. And let us not forget that... the yuan were debased.. in order to "unify the entire country's financial system"... Should it be unified? It does not need to be unified !!! If they think about it. As long as people have food and shelter, it does not need to be anything. Keep it simple !!!! They don't even understand this kind of exchanges between regions... it is the same in the UK too. Some people can be an egg for 10p... but others could pay like 50p. But this is fine too. It works out. And your salaries, bank it ! Put it in the bank! Don't liquidate and keep it in a biscuit tin !!!! And keep counting your money, EACH day !!! The thing is, they don't do these moves... this is why it goes bad. And businesses, to them is "big boom, big bust".... (And that takes down the banks too. Every_single_time. Ev ery_time.) This is why in the USA, they have M&As... ALL of the time... ALL the time....

  3233.  @WhoAmEye_WhoAreEwe  : Do you really have a lot of "cryptos" ? Do you want to know how China is now making money ? When Japan tried in the earlier days and then they let go... It was a good move. (FYI... the "media" company....called themselves "Rule of Law Media Company"..... ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPrQgZuOaH8&t=20s So now... a "communication's university" set of graduates are crawling on their hands and their knees... around their field tracks.. in the middle of the night. Filming. And then let this be reached in the global "new media" era... And in the US' side.. this is "marketing technology"... Going wild.... They know that they are being filmed. They know that, this is a statement, which might shock quite a few. Some knows that, this is "media art".... They know this. I wonder whether anybody knows that, are they, or are they not connected to the global "crypto money ring".... I do wonder if people are aware. Each time one crawls, one makes money for the state.. to crawl back some small change. Each time, each click, each view.... each comment. Somebody makes money, somewhere. I do not understand how... anything makes sense any more. "Film 2 seconds, goes global. Earn millions." Earning millions for 15 minutes of work..... Well.... I do not know why Amazon is so harsh on their immediate warehouse staff. And it is their amazonian data centres that can propel such media work.. and sales.. figures. So yeh... why aren't they paying them more, by per work rate? Media charges for.... what.. Do these warehouse workers... need to have a film made like for 15 minutes each day, and sell onto TikTok in order to bring back their own wealths? Do they ???? When will Amazon raises the rates for their people, including taxes??

  3234.  @WhoAmEye_WhoAreEwe  : How CAN I tell you are being ironic OR not... when we are bamboozled by gazillion things !!! It is not enough that we have gaming sector... And those gaming sector creates their own "coins"... and now.. the collapse of those technical boundaries have ensured that.... Foreign media, enters the actual gaming sector. Metaverse? Really ?? And let us not forget the good old "PR" agencies as well... Trying to move the financial services and sectors.. and to ensure that things work. So how can now these so called "Fin Tech"... That is... gaming infrastructures be used to use for the banking sector ????Can the world BE more confusing ?! So where are the code of conducts gone to ? I am fully aware that... I... a citizen of the UK... watching a video... on YouTube...(American company)... on an issue.. which I SHOULD have seen... in my local newspaper.. but I don't get to see this. Why do I not get to see that for less? A>B>C...... So now... A > C > E ?!?!!?!...... Amazons are not even moving goods in/out of the UK. Amazons are now moving goods up and down the sodding 1 mile radius !!!!!! WHY are people paying B for something which they can walk down the road to buy ?!!?!?!!!........ "Automation" ?!?!?!!?!....Is Amazon really about moving that item up and down that road... or are they really selling that poor man's facial expression and use it as data.. and for other companies to learn their machines and AI with ? That their data is monetised... for their own algorithms?! Which IS it ?!!?!..... Data exported and used this way, need to be monetised now. We sell and buy financial datas.. So why is this man's face not worth the money ? He should be paid more for being used to train detection rates and things. Shouldn't it !?!?!!! In fact, wikipedia on Amazon stated already that "Amazon Luna"....(aka Terra).. exists... and Luna is an actual bitcoin... in the USA... !Fck. So basically... this poor man.. is being checked... how fast he is ?? To send in those datas to confirm what.. exactly.... to monetise that this is "true" ??? To use these data to reverse-engineer some software codes ??????..... ENOUGH ! No consent is no consent !

  3241.  @kevinchen7903  : You have to understand a lot of things. A lot of so called "Tribes" or "clans" may live remotely... and some of them, were actually so called "army units", or people who fought for their dynasty in the past generation and settled in that area. It is modern day words to describe them as tribes. What is missing... from then, til the now, is the continous hardwork to keep a civilisation going. Or a society going. In many South America.. Many tribes deliberately "hide" from Western civilisation... But they live the best lives in the Amazon. China's tribes, if they were originally nomadic ones, should be supported.. So that they do not lose any of their so called skillset.. To live with the land. Many of these tribes, can live off the land, for free. Without paying a single penny. Did you know that ? It is now the pressure on the CCP government, to migrate a "thriving community", into an actual urban area.. Some of them cannot cope. They do not even know the concept of money, never mind the concept of interest rates.. Or to even work for someone else, in a white-collar job. There are so so SO many movies, made from the US, above this bridging of gaps... between extremely nomadic life, to that of an advanced society and country. Should it ? Can it ? Really, should it ?? If you look at even cities like HK, so many are sentimental of the past old village life. Of not paying extortionate amount on accommodation costs... So many people screws up the calculations. So a generation is to be blackmailed ? Is this how life is supposed to be ?!!? Wake up. If these tribes or clans can survive... in a rural way. Then they must not be disturbed !!! Capitalism is not for everybody... with it, comes responsibilities too. So many people also misuse money... and it still kills of a population, or a generation.

  3242.  @stefanosong9314  : The reason about Uyghurs, is that, when ROC took over China, it wanted to recognise the part that was genuinely Chinese. That is Han's China. There are maps out there which states "China proper" in English. It is the extension of the "Manchuria, Mongolia, and various other regions".. that PRC defined.. and I do not even know when CCP took control and was the status quo party to run the country. Cos that was not actually accepted and acknowledged by everybody.... And now, so called CCP acting as if they are the only single party of the entire country, acting part like a government department, and part like a... political party.. I do not know which.. It is like, those who have memberships... are learning on the job ??? So therefore, those regions... were actually part of their own civilisation, and does not belong to China. So as you can see... it is memberships of a group... they call themselves "CCP"... and by right of Western media's supports.. and those Western government's supports... Managed to actually bully those regions, and areas... Some of those regions, were actual mongolians, or descendents, or a mixed racial civilisation... If you read the history books, then you would know who these people are. It is this ignorant generation, and the so called "burn the books, revolution"... managed to bulldoze over those regions as well... One day, if those regions has arms... and guns... China will not be so funny doing what they are doing. Just one day... If Tibet also, is no longer.. "religious" and piety... and they held guns as well. Things shall change.

  3250.  @axe3425  : But this is why you have to sign deals.... and lock yourselves down, even if it make a lost, and you have to cap your operational costs within China as well. This is similar to Japanese cars as well. So then, what did they do ? They pivoted. They also offer loans, when buying these cars. HOWEVER... what they also do... is to take back components as well.. to recooperate some of the costings. As in, they would return an old car or replace any components in order to retain the value. So therefore, it is worth it... cos you would "retain value"... and you don't earn... from the first price. You EARN... from resell it as a second hand car. And again, and again. Now... you wrote..." cars from China to the EU shipping costs are very expensive, require a lot of marketing costs, and may also have additional costs such as tariffs"..... That isn't an issue. It is needing to reduce marketing overhead costs, and literally HIRE somebody within Europe who knows a thing OR two !!!!! Imagine, if you didn't knock down HK... financing, could've come through HK's exchanges or as an actual hub as well. But people screweded that up with their so called NSL etc. And people ran off. If you had the finance people again, then they would know how to do return shippings. To both take back components and whatnots, and to use companies like Swire to help you guys, and ask them if they can use as an intermediary.... on the shipping side, since they're shipping things anyway. (And if you do that well... then reciprocations... hotel stays or occasional hotel stays or rewards for your employees within their hotels using vouchers etc. On target with high sales etc etc.) It really shows us that, the people IN China, doesn't know WHO to do deals with and WHY they need to use specific companies.

  3256. Wow I never knew that... but some of those were "state-owned enterprises" weren't they? So... then it means that, they do indeed works out. And sure.. maybe if you were a factory.. and this kind of OEM model... can work out as well.. cos then.. you have the branding things going on. And the export, means actual brand, and export customs too. But now that HK is being reconciled... so therefore.. you can no longer DO that any more. And so many SOEs have closed down too? THEREFORE... what are the government officials going to do with those excess stocks? Sell as second hand. Which is FINE... but... income now "revised brand names"... like the ones that UK celebrities like Beckham is endorsing... like those Hawkes and Grieves ??... I mean, why couldn't they be sold and utilised? So then stay inside the PRC for a while.. and then use that lower price point and rebrand and expand into foreign shores. And then re-uplift back those brands.... if this was controlled in a decent manner.. we would have loved it. But then... the Art. 23 thing came into force. (This is not right.) And then the .. even the Middle Class.. wouldn't buy these kind of second tier brand names, they wanted the higher brand names instead... but why...?.... It should've been these middle tiered brands..... SHOULD'VE STAYED THERE... and slowly migrate and close off those higher brand names.... In an ideal world, that is what should've happened.. but you still have these silly factories that continually produces these designs of the higher brands... WHY ?... We have known this since 1980s !!!!!!!!!..... Only idiots become idiots.. become idiots.. and we can't even help you. If that carried on..... Then most of us would switch over into the second brands. Which we often do. It is when you guys FLOOD the entire MARKET... whch peeves the rest of us off... no end.... Like, we HATE IT..... We try to help you, but you don't help yourselves. I have seen these decent second brands disappeared as well... those ones don't make it into the UK. But they should make it into the UK. This is why sometimes.. or did... the likes of M&S would buy them out, under their own labels instead. Cos we cannot handle the confusion any more.

And who doesn't know what they have been doing for years? And when I first read this... What does it say to me? It looks like that, this had already been done inside China.. imho... and that actual "Professor" is nothing but just there for time.. and then to get a few individuals to visit that specific... Cos frankly...China does "their own thing"... Isn't it funny how, China is not targetting the money side of things, and yet... this guy now gets the funding? So restrict the spending in location A, and shift it to location B ? Is it me.. or is that lady a bit deformed since her younger photo? Her face shape has changed. Quantum physics can be physical... and it can be biological.. or chemical too. That German Professor seems somewhat naive. I bet it isn't even an actual company. There are so many various "political parties" according to CCGTN.... To me, China had portray any kind of media lies.. and then have different systems within systems existing inside their own country. Reminds me of that guy.. That German guy who did autopsies.. and went on a world tour.. getting the money inside the PRC... and did museum pieces etc. That was also how China get the foreign currencies to then send their own so called "Professors" abroad... (I bet they have done research or founded certain things already. But needed the field trip to see things for themselves etc. Cos how can you also justify Mao's trips abroad in the past ??? And he too was in charge of the militaries later on. To me, there is no militaries or civilians differences. I bet it still runs under an Imperial model. Cos that makes more sense. Regional Imperialism etc etc.)

  3277.  @jch.9381  : I never used to understand this... Cos a religious entity, is just that, a religious entity. So it was an actual organised temple. That is all they do ? Eat and pray. So now, there are more and more "fake" Confucius "Temples"... is that okay then ?? That is not even okay ! Confucius was never in and away from his place. All of these so called "state-owned" enterprises now popping up everywhere, and some people classify them as actually a "company"... and a "homage to Confucius", without even being an actual museum or whatever. So these people can claim money from a bank or loan or whatever and live off that. So why is the Tibetan area not run themselves? You call it autonomous.. but it should be a local Tibetan to be an actual political tier... Near where they live. And also, why isn't these Temples preserved to be a form of "state-owned" enterprises too ??? If these fake temples can be created, then why not preserve real temples to be visited ?? Terrorism is when someone threatens others... Who threatened Tibet to begin with ? It was internal forces ! So why were they not stopped ???? Do you see how some people were brainwashed ??? I am Cantonese.. and had been in HK for so long. Those Tibetans also have family histories as well in those areas.. and their lifestyle has been trashed, again and again, and again. This is against the constitution to begin with !!! Who has not been reading the law book ????? A lot of bystanders see them, as being forced to be economically powerful.... That is why... Now, so many people "fear" the country... THIS IS WRONG !!!!! The current Premier and his team has betrayed the people. Cos his father has met the Dalai Lama before, and I believe this was broadcasted, and he was given a rolex watch. Maybe to say "this is for the future, we have to find out how to prosper".... A gift to be analysed, to turn around now, and say that he was a traitor to the state ? What a joke !!! So the political team is now "jealous" of this Lama ???? So now his whole city is to be destroyed ? Because of jealousies ????? IS this how chinese people should behave !??! This is ungracious !!! What a betrayal.

  3304.  @ireneserrano4570  : No... I think you will find that, they DO classify it as such. And that, they were living off lands that were part of the Imperial structure. and this is why they stayed. And this now, is actually part and partial.. and it is on their home registration identity card. i.e. Their "hukuo"... Which is even what I knew as a child... my "heung ha".... I think you need to understand the English language, to understand what it means and imply. Cos often, I hear and see the different interpretation from Singapore or from Malaysia etc. And yes... even in HK... families still keep an actual family tree book. So what are these newspapers doing ? Even in the UK... they still keep a family tree book as well !!! What has the "56 ethinc groups"... all registered... to people living in SE Asia... unregistered in the new era PRC's system? You're no longer included. lol... I find it funny how... people now.. keep saying things which were actually very old and very random as well ? Don't tell me that.. you want to live in HK now.. because they used the terms "ethnic groups"... in their constitution and you misinterpreted it. And that you had no sense of identity etc ? Isn't it funny then... plastered ALL over HK's media.. kept saying things like... "we want patriots to rule HK"... So are YOU wanting to be a PATRIOT ? Do YOU see yourself as part of the "56 ethnic groups" people ??? Is this what you are trying to tell me ? lol..... I don't get it. I really don't ? And you don't even understand who the "回Hui " people are... do you ?..... Maybe if you read or is able to read chinese characters, it might help. Funny how even though I am born abroad.. in the UK... I still could read and write the full set of Hans chinese characters.. even though the GCSE level then was very rudimentary and very basic as well. And yet... foreigners living in HK.. even after 20 years... still speak English and not Cantonese. Weird, that.

  3306.  @ireneserrano4570  : First of all.. you are using the English language. Second of all... SE Asian dispora.. and the chinese history has NOT been translated properly formerly OR correctly. The word you arelooking for is "Imperial China". "Ethnic group" is by racial. By racial.. we mean by DNA racial classification. That is.. Caucasian. Black. Chinese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) This is why when you guys keep using those "terms" but yet mean different things, come across to me that you're not that educated in all honesty ? And this is the start of the problem as well. Cos your translation or deliberate mistranslation is what is causing political divides as well. And considering that there did not used to be that many romanisation systems in place as such as well... Which then means that, what YOU guys are saying is actually wrong ? And when one mistake is made.. continuous mistakes happen again and again and again... over and over and over again..... I don't know what you mean by "ethnia". I am talking about "ethnic". Ethnicities.. according to British racial laws, define a person's actual race. Considering that HK was actually a BRITISH colony. Not an Indonesian colony. NOT a Dutch colony. Not an American colony. It was a British colony. This is whereby I know for certainty that you don't even know what you are talking about. And often mislead the other sheeps to follow suit as well. When people talk about "chinese" they don't mean the race, they meant the nationalities !!!! THIS is whereby you guys deliberately confuses and mislead others as well in the romanisation. 回族 = 回教人 = Muslims (Chinese-muslims aka "Hui" people, and this is defined on their identity cards in the PRC.) "Chinese" in many Western countries are basically implies that they are Hans Chinese. (Or this is the assumption.) Not Chinese-muslims. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hui_people Even if those are the surnames of the Hui/Chinese-Muslims... and then ??? I am trying to correct your language and you are trying to deliberately be obtuse about it ! So why isn't then.. that collective groups of surnames.. if they have lived in that same region... and that they are a community.. and that they are ALL of the Chinese-Muslim groups.. that.. they cannot be related ? The chances of them being related to one another.. because one muslim entered China many years ago... and then married a chinese Hans. So why can't those individuals now be classified as loosely related ? So why isn't this a "family clan" of multiple surnames ? Cos frankly, it IS !

  3307.  @ireneserrano4570  : When Britain joined the UN.. it created that "global model" because... those were the genuine archeological finds. And those 3 neolithic bones are indeed just those three. There is a talk about dividian as well... so possibly a global 4. Maximum. Anybody else, are the descendents of. So you cannot further classify something which was million years old.. with your current a mere under 200 years of inter-mixing ! When Chinese people references 黄帝, ... they mean that they are the descendents of him. The children of the yellow rivers. The beginning of Hans chinese. This is what they mean. Cos frankly, they have a right to claim that heritage. And why should you stop them ? To use the term "hans chinese" or "chinese" to denote that they mean Hans. Is not wrong, imho. Cos "chinese" = "middle kingdom person". Are those Silk Road traders "the middle kingdom people" ? Actually... the chinese nation does not include them to be so ! They are merely living in the boundaries and areas of the chinese state. But they are not classified as "chinese" ! Otherwise, then they would not have those classification under their own identity cards to be of another "race" !!!! Would they ???!!!..... And with Hans Chinese.. there is a distinct culture and ettiquettes surrounding how they live ! Or how they are supposed to live !!!! So I don't get your point in teaching Cantonese, or Chinese.. to non-familial non-chinese ! Cos by right... those who are taught Chinese... often have to have the family ties to imperial civil servants etc !!! The fact that... they don't include them. Speaks volume. Don't you think ????.... It's like Latin... in the UK.. not everyone is taught Latin. And not everybody would become part of the Church of England either. So yeh... I don't get why these individuals, despite being given the money. The resources. The opportunities. And still come back and insult the government of negligence... when the opportunities had been there. IF Imperial Tang Dynasty Code existed in HK... once again... these individuals would have actually been sentenced to death already. Literally. For being unfair to produce an accusation... when their own efforts on doing is not even there.

  3317.  @dongshengdi773  : And Indonesia, have frankly never stopped... exporting ever since those SE Asian financial crashes. It IS about time that, they stopped being stupid people and curb their own actual population controll !!!! They are growing faster than China alone... From 150 million people, jumped to 300 million people under 40 years? Did you know that, even in the UK.. from 70 million people, they only jumped to around 69 million people? Most people left, and must people abort as well. When they don't have the money, they don't have kids. Until they saved it. And yet, during that time, they still pay taxes to the NHS, as well as local taxes etc etc etc. Do you give 家用 to your mother or your father? And for them to save you a dowry ? No ? Well... UK chinese kids here do. Their parents would give them pocket money to do chores. And once they have done them, then they get pocket money. And then they save this up, for their own future wedding. And THEN.... even for English kids, they are the same too... If the child is 16 or 17 or even 18.... they would go out and do casual work. Working in the farms. Working in the bars. Or Pubs. Or do newspaper deliveries.They save that money and give "board" to their mother. So that she is helped in some ways to the household bills. THIS is the kind of environment I was raised in the UK. WTF has and does the rest of the world OWE... to China? And even now, so many people don't have as many kids... Some, not at all, even. And I hate that, the social services are supporting many more refugees, and they were never part of the British Empire too.. and we have to give a lot set of our savings towards them.. people are SO angry.. you have no idea... sometimes I cry about this fact. And sometimes I am also SUPER angry too.. at what some of the UK banks did too. Which is that, they save YOUR ASSES in China ! Like.. my dad's pension went into Santander.. and that company went and bought some assets from HSBC in Shanghai !?!?! WTF...!!!! Why are they doing that kind of global business !?!?!.... And yet, you guys don't even appreciate "the West"... Oh yeh.. keep on spending, cos we're super angry about it !!! (Oh, I am Cantonese, BTW !!! Super angry !!! And what is that about "The west used us" !?!! REALLY ?! Including the "Western banks used their money to save our asses in Shanghai, but I never knew about it " !!!!!! ) WELL.... KEEP SPREADING THAT NEWS ! COS IT IS REAL ! AND I AM LIVING PROOOF !!! I DON'T NEED TO DO A KOL ABOUT IT !!!! I don't need to be an influencer!!!

  3319.  @embun1945  : USA did not goddamn print any sodding thing. I bet that is just a media lie.. I bet that, in truth.. China couldn't hold themselves together.. so then.. what happened next is that, they mis manage it... and then they have to get other foreign companies to both buy them out.. or to use them to eleviate themselves... or something to that nature. Cos how could a 1.2 billion people be all on the SAME equal footing and earnings etc ? They don't buy it. and they don't see it either. They don't even really accept.. the idea or the notion of leverage and ratios... So I had to pay like 5 pound.. to eat an orange say, but they have to pay only like 3 pounds. But they don't like it.. when prices go up... and they don't see the end of the reasons why their prices went up... cos why ? They flip open the internet... see a ratio, see a price, and assume that "AHH... I need to be paying too much." (But behind the scenes is what.... it is THIS entire process... Farmer > Logistics/driver > Distribution centre > port > country A > consumer/customer. That is SIX companies... that have to take the prices of. SIX companies... that needs to get paid. What do you think China is doing? I bet that they have already bankrupted and collapsed a few times, so now they are trying to do like THREE companies or something. Instead of formally doing a clearance and resell those stocks WITH a proper value.... (I bet they went and stole them from those bankrupted companies.) So then.. they see a price online... "In the UK, I will sell it as this price, cos I have seen something similar." (Kind of BS !!!).... Maybe this is why people are disillusioned... cos if it was not, then why does Alibaba exists with SO much excess stocks ? Like, more stocks then the world needs ??? If China supported currency leverage, then they shouldn't have let the HK's position as a leverage disappeared... That is THEIR fault too. Along with the various SE Asian countries trying to be clever.. and the thing is... the PRC Government SHOULD see these SE Asian countries AS enemies, but they don't.... Cos they will keep letting them using THEIR currency as a leverage but not them. I AM FUMING !!!! What... an "Indonesian maid"... can earn around 1000 multiples... as a "maid"... and gets paid in HK. Meanwhile... I HAD TO... buy a STUPID... dead fish, salted.. preserved.. for around 1000 HK Dollars, if I recalled.. in HK... Cos my mother would do that. At that time, the exchange rate ratios were around 1 hk dollars = 100 yuans !!!!!! OF COURSE, I WOULD BE SUPER HAPPY !!! WHO WOULD NOT ?!!?!? And then, those maids got... like 3-4 thousand hk dollars AS well ? What was the exchange rates in late 1990s ??? (Just googled to check... 1 hkd = 310 rupee in 1997 !!!!! OF COURSE THEY WOULD BE SUPER HAPPY !!!! AND NOW THEY HAVE GRAND KIDS !!!! WE DONT EVEN DARE TO HAVE KIDS !!!!! UNFAIRNESS DONT YOU THINK ?!)

  3327.  @finned958 : 1.4 billion of "not drastic" !!!! I don't know what was the figures before.. but I remember that, 1 Pound = 15 HK dollars. Now, it is around 1 pound to around 10 dollars.. and then even 9 dollars. Despite the fact that HK was there to offset fluctuations with external trades. So how could the PRC join the WTO then ... and make this kind of sh!tty moves... ? And then expect to be the exact same way as the West.. All of the sh"tty stupid movies from the West, they lapped it up like an idiot... and now... it is clear what the flying clkck they have done to themselves. And back then it was a good 1 hk dollar to around 1000 yuans.... Imagine that. And we had stupid Germany throwing their Deutsch Marks at China as well... I WONDER... when other Brits receives in insults from those so called SE Asian dispora.. if they ever thought about the other currencies as well. What DOES Singapore offer to the rest of the world ? Nothing. They offered nothing. Just plain BS day in day out. It has NOTHING to swap for other countries. It just stolen some other countries' money, that is what they did. International finance ? International criminals more like. I can't even believe the kind of BS that is happening.. Like seriously.... And now, they are also playing Chinese PRC politics.. and drag themselves and embed themselves to become a seat at this table of UN China.... Absolute trash cans. Real trash cans. You now have a military man from Singapore handling the money transaction of Tik Toks... for what.... To channel more money and basically made those countries a "tributary states of the PRC Empire via tech ???".... GODDAMN these people.

  3333.  @blacklisted4885  : "Social media" defines writings on their forums which is not "nice" as "hate"... but this channel is a proper news channel... so this is reporting REAL news. It is not reporting rumours, hearsays, adverts, or even promotions. The fact that a British citizens.. or an "expat".. doesn't even understand which screen and which channel is a real company or not... kind of makes the whole situation really fake. They see something online, and then make up the entire story behind it. And "hope for the best".... the government counts the number of people coming in and going out. And they count how many houses are built. And the figures doesn't add up !!!! Basically !!! Cos you have to register a house. Cos you have to register a person coming and leaving the country. It doesn't add up !!! You cannot have a country with around 60% of its population, playing rotation and being temporary in and out... That is not a society ! People used to stay. Pay taxes, and live in a house. Now it is full of part time workers. Why ???? And this affects the companies listed in the stock exchanges too. As in... nobody would fire you. Or they shouldn't. But the fact that so many transient individuals.. it makes life, a lot harder ????? Cos it means that the income of taxes is not even steady. This is why some areas, some councils are now bankrupt.... cos people aren't paying taxes either. You get to use facilities.. but you forget to pay for it. So somebody else paid for you before you got into the UK. So if you don't pay before you leave. Then the next person can't benefit either. It isn't fair.. but that had been the way for a long time. So it doesn't help yourself.. at all !!!!

  3344. ​ @diesel92kj1 : It is funny that people say this kind of thing... but UK has its own taxation laws as well. And yes, we DO charge different tax levels, depending on which country as well. So don't assume that just cos you are a Brit... and ends up working in the USA.. that you could avoid paying for the IRS.. and the HMRCs as well.. And don't assume that, we are not going to chase you on this one. The reason why the UK got screwed up and we formulated into the way that we are today, is because non-Brits play and screws up from following the laws of this country. They don't even know how to structure correctly the business model. Just like... State A has tax A, State B has tax B. People don't even get this. They don't believe it. They don't get it. They don't even accept it. Same if you went to the USA.. oh sure.. open a small sole trading company... Which.. in the UK is different to the Limited company. This is why, I see online here.. SO many Americans.. can now.. take on several jobs. In order to hold down an actual..."salary" ?... Er... I don't care.. what misnomer has been happening here. Just cos Google, or YT cannot get their own act together, and make a digital product that fits the localisation of that country's laws, does NOT by ANY means that you are NOT at risk.. of being prosecuted... cos you have been basically money-laundering !! Why did Trump went into power? His words to many people in China..."but they did not prove the correct accounting and sales transaction, they must DELIST".... WELL.... the SAME can be said of American small "mom and pop" businesses as well. They don't even structure their own companies, to be proven and accountable. And file correctly to the IRS. (AND to the foreign country that they sell TO. Where is THEIR British tax filings ?! In the correct currency! Whatever happened to multi currency settlements as well??? Sorry, but exchange this before you sell. It is not the job of the buyer to take care of your exchange rates, than it is for yourself to exchange FIRST before selling to US !) I know, cos I used to build these computer systems to deal with these kind of taxation changes and issues !!!!!!! So I don't even get.. why FT is showing me these small time sole traders.. that wants to act like a continental business, but does not know how to structure themselves properly ????

  3353.  @RodrigoPalma700  : You only need to know one thing and one thing only.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punti%E2%80%93Hakka_Clan_Wars When the opium war started.... people always remember this. But not so many people remembers the death of the 1 million punti people in HK. That is, the Qing dynasty tried to get their own people into the area... and they got some of the Northerners to go down...and then, this was when the kick off happened. In fact, Britain had HK since 1830s.... and it was a slow trade. There was also an actual grooup of people there already too. And HK was not an unknown destination. It existed since the Song dynasties. There were actual landowners that lived there. And the British, only documented the people that they know, or worked for them etc. And they don't have visibilities... (or this is my understanding).... of why there was people there. There was a famous rock, called Song Dynasty's rock.. which existed there. Some people say that, the people died and that emperor of that lineage died... But HK was an Imperial Oyster farm to begin with. They harvested pearls. And this was sent to the local provincial governor. Why were the actual people fight ? Who were these migrants? They call themselves hakka... but where are they from ? This is why sometimes even now... you need to know the migrants that lives in Singapore.. as in, which heritage they are. Most Singaporean have heritage from Fuijian... and not HK or Canton.... It's important that you don't take the wrong side here. And the UN convention IS supposed to protect the people of the land !!!! And recently, even somebody stated that, they preserved some heritages... since the UN law came in 1960s.. but in reality is that.... the law is to protect the local people that the land belongs to and let them build up their families !!!!! That is in ALL UN convention !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVcpZsem_lw&list=PLK7qCnafFFJb4XxCU_5gP5uuRbp2u_gQa&index=48 She said it the best.... she clearly stated that the party itself.. was a new thing... and that, you shouldn't confuse... the state's money..... to be that different to the actual... rest of the world. The UN does not override actual people, and their positions in life, or their heritages either.

  3371. For 500k, you can get a green card ?! 800k is more like... which is an actual business. And lots of people inside the PRC is uber rich ! Lots of properties... etc etc. Why do they call it "consulting" ??? That is trash.... cos it consults nothing. So they slowly put forward 50k per year? I don't get this.... To me, it is clear... cos the original ROC.. it had yuan... and the RMB was newly created and used within certain region, wasn't it ? So... And Shanghai and HK had always been a trading port. So the "trading notes for foreign goods" had always been.. isolated to that areas only. So.... To those who understands the PRC. It is simple.. but if you treat all areas of the whole or the entire land as all the same and all region. Then I assume that it isn't so. A couple of things make me curious... 1) why is an "immigration office" actually do this ? Cos the way that they are treating it, is nothing but merely moving money, without actual businesses and actual business contracts ? 2) She is a party member. If we see party members as the old Imperial Dynastic model... Then why do you or why would you allow imperial money to leave the country? And even so... shouldn't a bank be doing the transaction and not her ? So why would any actual exchange... be moved out this way? Details are important in this story imho. 3) Was she also an actual party member, but moved to the wrong location, cos it is the local Shanghai police arresting the party member here. She is also Chairwoman of Wailian group as well. This kind of makes it bad, doesn't it ? So this doesn't fit into the whole Wailian MNC's company audit. Is this company, part of the actual list of companies that needed to be delisted from the US side? Cos it seems to me that she is treating the situation as "donating local money to expand and to move party members, than it is for investment to go abroad".... and this is not a functioning business.. it seems.

  3412. Every chinese person knows this too. This is not biased. Cos the mechanism is that you are supposed to be able to protest about this to the central government or to the state council. But of course.. people in your local areas would ALWAYS pull you back down. Why ? Cos they would be the first filter first. This is why.. so many people literally donate money to those provincial level officials first, even before progressing upwards to complain. And the country refuses to reform the political model.. so that people can deal with their local issues. Only a few provinces have their own local courts... of mediation.. but even then.. this is difficult. And this is not the smooth transition between the old Imperial Days.. to the modern PRC UN model. Cos the two does not work hand in hand in all honesty !!! The original UN deals were to do with shippings and ports.. How could that then turned into something else, when those days are done and dusted !?!?!!!..... Why should the two unite further to begin with ?! It should NOT be so !!!!!!.... Some of these people are literally trying to make money to go round for the sake of money to make it go round too. Some people already did analysis already back into the 1980s... about how much land and resources there are in the world. And no.. we don't have even of everything to feed the entire global world of 8 billion people !!!!!!! We DON'T HAVE ENOUGH !!!!!.... Under 40 years... It took us around 1000 to 2000 years.. to raise the global population to be around 3 billion people... and then it took 30 years to reach 8 billion people... Has people gone insane ??... And not take a step backwards !!!???

  3460.  @madsam0320  : Because there are no lands any more. Each time land is used.. it will affect the other building's prices. And yet... people keep wanting to use this piece of city.. as an actual leverage to their own finances, back in their homes. And they only do this.. cos they know that the special contract and condition that it is currently in. So.. instead of dealing with things in the right way.. even the government did not do things in the right way.. Cos they did not expect globalisation to also attract other issues onto their soil as well... These individuals.. have no place in HK... Why ? Cos the situation is getting a bit desperate as well. They're at risk either way. Cos there is like an energy ban... so some companies have to reduce their energies as well anyway... So.. why stay in a place, that is now 1) losing electricies... 2) losing food.. and local farmers refuses to farm.. bureacracies blocked food from local production, importing food is getting pricy.... 3) people aren't wanting these refugees or maids any more.. if they wanted to do business, then they should enter further into the mainland.. BUT.. the PRC also locked other regions too... now... So therefore.. they can't get past HK into the mainland anyway... They absolutely blocked the internal way. 4) Odd and weird criminal offences are starting to occur.. or maybe reclassified... so therefore... even if ... people could do things like they did in the past. They no longer could. Cos why? The internet brings both the laws and legality.. and also to spot criminalities in an easier way.... So.. I mean...

I was the first of my generation to be born (safe) in the UK, but I have been back to HK every year, as often as I could, to worship the graves of my ancestors. If it was not for the social media generation, I would not have gotten a much much deeper insight of China. Of who, of when, and of which... Who did what, and when. I now appreciate why so many people in HK supported the Nationalists. I do. I also think that Hans chinese should be supported too. I also do think that... those who had homes, and had heritages, should go back and rebuild their homes, and their heritages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqemIQiheJI THIS... this is a tv documentary, made from HK... about the previous descendents of the Hans, or those families during imperial rules. Those two clans.. that is their family-tree and their legacy. At least they did not cheat, nor lie, and nor bullied their way through.. Each generation is recorded. I hope that, the government, would also be like the British government, which is to find their own people, and rebuild back their own heritages... and live onwards. If you read the comments on that link.. so many moved abroad.. Is it not time to rebuild ? And to reunite and clean the old graves ?? Japan and South Korea managed well. Their rival families, never rival, but they merge, in order for another generation to survive. Why and how can this not be so in China ? So yes, there can be Manchurian/Mongol.. and then also Hans... So why do Hans not merge with Hans now. And Mongolians merge with Mongols ?? Those 56 tribes, in English , people assume that they are tribes. But in reality, in plain English, they are an entire family tree of people. This is why they are called a "clan". Even the Queen of England, married her second cousins. So why, do some countries do not do that ?? They should. When Harry married Megan... America rejoiced. Because she is also the grand daughter of a Lord. She is now welcomed home. I hope to see... in this village... Their previous mongolian rich relative, to save this town. This is what I hope for this town. I wish that, they would see and find their family... and live in more prosperous times. Not from the State... But from their families...

  3470.  @nosignal7156  : First of all, you do not know that, the "West" carries the weight of the Mongolian Empire as well ? The "Hans chinese" or the so called "Middle Kingdom" is where all the Hans chinese congregated. The rest, were from the Mongolian Empire, which the PRC formed and tried to "integrate". By now.. I am guessing that, there are no more Hans chinese left in the country already. Some of the descendents of the Mongols, have gotten their own tribal land. And as for the finances, do you not know that, it is the hardworking slaves of the Hans chinese from the East Coast, who props up these tribes ??? Talk about favouritisms... ethnic tribes can do as they wish, and can prosper as they wish. They can have as many children as they wish. They can get subsidises from the government. Meanwhile, the remaining so called "capitalists" from the East Coast... including Hong Kong.. has to work very hard to make ends meet. Have to pay taxes, have to create a lot of things, to make things work and to go round... Even so many American companies, actually just trade and support China. If China did not join the WTO... The country would still be a nomadic tribe. Tell me, how could the country, grew from the Qing dynasty's of 300 million, to the current 1.7 billion ? Who has been not counting the figures correctly ???? To think I used to donate a lot of money as well.. to Sichuan.. I wish I never did. They live off grid and was in a sustainable tribe. The government should not try to integrate them into any capitalistic model. It is not sustainable !!! 1.7 BILLION !!!!!

  3475.  @SpadaBelformaOfficial  : East Europe is already into "bitcoins"... which I see as "fake coins".. So.. there you go. Why should we not clamp down on things? And then you have the Wirecard fraud situation? Meaning that, these are nothing but mere tokens... This "reset" literally has shown us, what is and what is still not acceptable. I also wondered, why is that specific "tea" company, literally sell things this way? There are already many many tea companies out there, like Pukka. Don't tell me that they are the same name. Most people do not like the way that we have structured ourselves. I certainly don't like the way we do business in the UK. I just want continuities. All of these kind of fake marketing, is literally stopping me trusting those brands, and also stop trusting those stupidities... If I cannot trust your brand. Then why am I buying this? Why don't they just pool their money together and make a "no frill brand" and open a tiny shop??? And make a super cut and a super low margin??? I find that people find it odd. If they are in business, and then if they cannot find a sale. Then to me, as a business person, there is no market. But they continue to seek out markets. So... everybody in the UK knew that.. there is already an actual "sell and resell, and RE-RE-SELL" market already !!!! For those companies that already DID the deals.. and such like, they had pre-re-created an actual business plan. Made the loans, and then went ahead, like 3-4 years of planning already! Why do people assume that, there is always this "small shop keeper " mentality? Even if you watch Itsy... those "Shopkeepers" are already selling, and reselling amongst each other already. And then they break it up apart the items again and then resell again. LOL....... 🤣.... I don't get anything. Any more.

  3476.  @bd1845  : To be frank... if my FATHER... had to follow the due diligence, work his butt off.. to stay in the UK... AND be a good person. Don't you dare assume that, you should take this for granted. Funny how, HK is also in lock down right now. And the first thing that people did, was to secure ALL foreigners out of the country. And then all the luxury brands have been stopped. Sorry France... and let us be clear that... the money which we "gave back" to fill in the energy gap... WAS the money which WE saved.. as a country.. to fill the European broad energy payments. Germany is already a satellite town of China. When Wuhan hit... they literally... forced out all European car manufacturing plants from Wuhan. And now? Now, they have done the worst thing, which is to take the UK's mini production, to China. I wish.. at this point.. to literally work for a Chinese company, and close down their business inside China. I will say this much. We will kick out, the "BNPL" cards or services that have increased. SOME literal app companies have now listed in the UK, like Deliveroo, that is fighting against Just Eats as well. When JE charges around 25%.... and yet, there are stupid companies like that other one... which forced closures of small businesses. This is just a trajectory downhill. If it was not for Tesco, stocking some of the European items. Well... funny... but Norwegian salmon is no longer stocked by them too. I bet it has now gone to China. Via Tesco or other. Well.. actually... Tesco has now exited out of China too. Many foreign companies have exited out of China. Certainly the Japanese ones and the Korean ones as well. And Germany is now entering? WELL..... Considering that China has NO RMB market.. and cannot exchange that in their banks... I mean.. and yet, people do not try and catch out those fraudulent activities. Unbelievable.

  3478.  @kmadge9820  : That is because, EU tried to build an actual "American Republic Empire", and if you really looked, even Blackrock has survived now. Were they there around 10 years ago? Were these European stock exchanges as high as THIS ? Was NATO a thing back then? As prominent? And did Europe increased their population AS well... and supported the women to have more children as well, to see into the futures? Rather than to rely on actually the immigrants? So letting more immigrants come into Europe... and raping...(not even having a proper relationship)... raping the women is a GOOD idea ?!!?!? Maybe Europe is indeed mesmerised.. and that is why policing does not exist, right???? Cos when you see Trump with a European wife. That speaks volume. When you see.... Italy... THEIR police.. had actual "training exercises with China".... about THEIR "chinese students".... THAT speaks big volume. And yet, people complain that their actual wages are low? Why? When you outsourced so many things from China, and you let them see their cheap tats and FLOODED the value of European goods. THAT was the end of you. Your salary. YOUR pensions. Sorry.. Europe does not even DO pensions ! All of this so called "gig economy"... job agencies paying people by the piecemeal... making them earn below minimum wage... like a sodding 3 to 4 pound per hour... and then, do not even register THEM.. with an actual pension pot. Or provision. THAT is illegal to begin with!!!!!! And all of these so called "business men and business women"... They do not even do the right things ! "Oh, we joined the EU.. oh, we CHANGED..." Yes... the LAW Changed... but if it does not meet YOUR business needs, to ADAPT a new model !!!! Which European policies say ABOVE the UK ones.. to state..."no pension if you are a gig economy worker" ????? STOP THIS ILLEGAL ACTION !!!!.... AND.... UK government NEEDS to reduce, or to fine, or to collapse... companies, that act as a SOLE trader... when they are registered as a LIMITED liability company. PLEASE STOP THIS CHAOS, AND IN-EDUCATION.... and you can see that... what these people do.. minions will follow... and then complain. Why don't they create "forwarding agents" via logistics companies ? HK had this. So how come, even NOW... this does not exist? Since brexit, it means that, we have to act more like an actual LARGER supply-chain, and do WHOLESALE... and not a mere sodding tiny "small medium business"... any more. LOOK AT THIS. People like that lady, has been going on about this for YEARS.... Is it Mary Quant ? Yes.. she has been going on about concept stores for a long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL9x0zXj0us&list=PLK7qCnafFFJbXaje64rrWMVbkguvU0A6H&index=1&t=1101s And then, some European cities are a lot more well designed. So if you sell bulk, it is in one go. I wonder whether EITHER of these business women, are aware of that, especially on issues like FMCGs.... I bet that, they were NOT here.. or ever lived in the UK for at least 30 years. Cos how can they not know some of the listed footsie companies, like Unilever and various consumer supermarket groups ? They are NOT aware of their own markets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYHTzqHIngk

  3483. Why should the HKUST have a MTR station to service it ? You are already getting to location point to point under 30 minutes. And that is NOT good enough ? Have you gone crazy ? A lot of people across the globe.. travel like around a mega whopping.. 1 hr to work. Or even in the USA, they FLY into work !!! Commuting time to be around like 15 minutes is GOOD enough already ! STOP polluting HK !!! What I want to see in HK, is the pollution to be cleaned up ? And I want to see a lot of the floated companies like cleaning companies, both manufacturing, and cleaning or servicing, to be floated on the stock exchange. I don't get why people don't see such companies as valuable... cos other countries have it. So why doesn't HK ? Their contract values are into the millions... What if there is a servicing companies that cleans all the office blocks ? Even in the USA, their NYC offices have commercial companies cleaning their windows and everything. THAT is a job. And THAT company should float on the exchange ! I don't even understand what people don't get ??? What kind of companies do I expect to see in HK's exchange ? 1 - cleaning companies. 2 - printing companies, books. 3 - education companies... which includes translation softwares, even for indigenous languages... that can be installed into various OS, and platforms and whatnots... (and we are NOT talking about just "traditional or simplified"....!!! I mean weitou, or even "-隆都話". (Long Doh) https:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=DxQAT8ICZeQ&list=PLK7qCnafFFJZNBnebQCwnKH7rSOJ9S-Jk&index=7&t=20s Or to even create softwares that can convert translations.. or something. There is a LOT of companies that can exist and it SHOULD float....

Cos this is now youtube (social media).. broadcasting old TV ( man-made journalism).... Cos how does people accept and recognise this? Many youngsters today... even from inside China as well.. Would not accept that, this is an old video.. or what happened to SE Asian countries. They do not even accept many things. If I did not have families in HK as well... and being British Cantonese.. I would not believe it either... I travelled back and forth between UK and HK during my early 20s.... And inbetween jobs as well... It is only in recent years did I literally stopped. Looked after my health.. and be with family.. and went online to read the news to find out what the h!ll is going on... I am not rewatching old TVB news and videos... and see what they were saying in 1980s and 1990s.... Now I get it. UK imported a lot of Thai produce as well over the years... Many of their rice products came into the UK... and many Cantonese/chinese stayed.. and this boosted their exports too... UK government controlled and expanded the supply-chains.... even though there were food production issue.. those companies in the earlier days in 1990 really took notice. They literally listened. Today... there is no way that you would be able to actually see any real news any more. Cos nobody would know what digital webpage or whatever.. is true or not.

  3516.  @Shenzhou.  : Well, that is because, Singapore is a small country... and the fact that it took a long time to settle the country and to fight to reduce down the number of languages, to suddenly, for a single person, to overthrow the entire system again ? How is that even be possible ? Even in the UK... a lot of people used to speak more Cantonese... and then some people speak Hakka (which is a little bit similar to already Wu/ Mandarin)... BUT.. some people INSIST that, they speak the SMALL selective set of characters, and write in the simplified form. PLEASE ! STOP THIS ! If you speak your own dialect, when abroad, amongst other chinese, from different regions. I think you will get more respect !!!! In Singapore, people speak "Hokkien", "Fuijian"... although, they are not official a real language, but those regions uses and base it on Wu... "mandarin" is a hybrid language, which has deviated from Wu and is adding mongolian syntax (language logic) into it !!!! This is WHY any REAL Chinese will reject this syntax !!! Cos it is mongolian !!!! And if you trace back the mongolian heritage, it goes back to like Siberian or something... or is it Arabic ??? To me, these people are trying to protect the real Hans or Middle Kingdom language, while SOME people tried to bastardise it further. -------- THIS is what happened ! "Mainland China In December 2004, Ministry of education authorities rejected a proposal from a Beijing CPPCC political conference member that called for elementary schools to teach traditional Chinese characters in addition to the simplified ones. The conference member pointed out that many, especially young people, have difficulties with traditional Chinese characters; this is especially important in dealing with non-mainland communities such as Taiwan and Hong Kong. The educational authorities did not approve the recommendation, saying that it did not fit in with the "requirements as set out by the law" and it could potentially complicate the curricula.[24] A similar proposal was delivered to the 1st Plenary Session of the 11th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in March 2008.[25]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Chinese_characters ONE single person, went above AND beyond, an entire region, actually, several region's sentiments. For me to see a child today, from the mainland, not to be able to write a single chinese character, using full brush stroke is almost like a joke of the day. That idea of traditional Confucianism... is gone. All you guys can do is to use the so called internet generation's "techno bubble"... to "ping yin" a word, or a character. Cos you cannot think how it is done. THIS is why that man in that video IS mad ! And you call yourself a chinese person !

  3522.  @Chinese080808  : This is the thing... they are more chinese, than you are chinese. Cos those migrants from the previous generation were not Mongrels. i.e. Were not mixed race, to the high extent that they lose their heritage. And why do I know who those families are ? Is it because back in those days, only people of importance, were allowed of the country as well. As much as you seems to label people with a "ABC" 2020's label... Those families was the empire building group. Which so many people, inside of China, 1) do not acknowledge, or 2) do not know, or do not care, and 3) want to be more arrogant, and stomp down on those people now.... In order for yourselves to rise. We know, the kind of attitudes this country now has. This so called "second generation red army's children"... I had no idea what this meant before this virus lockdown. With the social media, seemingly opening up to you guys.. I now finally understand it. No wonder, I also got physically hit, by some random chinese person, who came to the UK to work. British government allowed a set quotas.. and I had no idea. And it was not until some kind of agreement was signed, such that, some of these migrants became MORE aggressive. Just randomly aggressive. And of course, with the internet now... with so many people, accessing from ALL over the globe. People would say and do things, which is 1) rude, and 2) crude, and 3) aggressive, without even understanding who their readership are. "Not meant to ridicule" ? But you have already offended.

  3523.  @hclau218  : I am not sarong girl. I am not Singaporean. I am Cantonese, from HK. That makes me Southern Hans chinese. My family was at least three generation in HK. And then before that, it was Dong Guan, Bo'an, in Canton. There we go. My name is Mei. I do not know what you mean by "anti chinese". That is your BS lies. I have identity cards for HK. I also go back every single year, and I was raised in HK as a child. And even studied in HK. So much for your lies, and BS to make prejudices towards people that you do not even know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYVdmJgxJ74&t=1128s Why would people like me, not know chinese, or know about HK, or even know the history of China ? Since the British allowed HK citizens to freely go in and out of the UK and to HK thoroughout the years ?? Most people built their own homes, and went back. Trading ships did not mean that the workers were allowed to stay cos they were working. So why wouldn't people dock and live at home after a long period of time ?? How much do people who does not live in HK knew about the shipping past ? ZERO, that is what. And it is weird, for me to see that, so many people make the assumptions, that there were no relationships between some states at all... And that, some of us are "uneducated" about China. That is actually BS. And why would I not even know Chinese, since I used to teach the subject to the next generation of kids in the UK ?!!? Second generation born children. Only by birth, but their parents speak to them in Chinese !!! So why would they not know chinese ?! And those RTHK, which is the HK government's TV channel was freely broadcasted as well !!! It was and could be received in the UK !!! So much for people NOT knowing what goes ON !!! If it was not for the kindness of strangers.. helping others also rise out of their own poverties... China would not be what it is today. What BS. And even back in those days, Chinese workers, also paid tax in HK. It is from taxation which got what the country manage then to build... So much for others NOT knowing what goes ON.

  3525.  @hclau218  : CHI SIN..... Why is my family "kissing white man's ass????" !! I find it funny how others just want to accuse, and berate others. Er.... Qing dynasty signed over HK. So HK was trading with UK. So why is this wrong ? Who was Mao, and who was Deng ? Er... China proper, including the Nationalists.. And I conclude that HK is part of the Nationalist's movements. Who does not know that, the Northern Chinese.. often wanted power... so yes, the Qing dynasty got in. It was a Manchu Dynasty. Ming dynasties and their descendents continued with the Ming Dynasty's legacy. What is wrong with that ? It was the QING DYNASTY SIGNED AWAY HONG KONG ! COS THEY WANTED TO GET RID OF THE MING ENEMIES !!! So how can now you say we like another "master" ?! F off !!! WE PAID FOR OUR LAND. WE PAID FOR OUR SCHOOLS !!! PLEASE F OFF !!! In my mother's generation... she could not even go to school, cos you have to pay for schools. Did you think that the British government actually paid for everything ? It was the taxes, and the merchants, who earned excess money, and they gave back the money to those workers' children, in order to benefit THEM ! And even if those seamen, who worked on those ships that moved goods to foreign countries... They were looked after, and got pensions. I find what you say incredibly insulting. Incredibly. As if... our rights did not matter. What is happening more, is that YOUR generation is benefitting more, just cos a lot of people take out more loans, and try to build a life. But in our generation.. we PAID.. with our own hard work !!! (By the way.. I do not entirely agree with what is happening in HK. I was NOT the one who protested and raised this big an issue. It is people, getting things out of hands. I think something screwed up.. since HK was signed back. Everyone knew it would be so. People saw it coming a long way away. And they were right. Financial crash of 1997. Asian crisis. I think you must be under 40... Cos you talk like a person who has absolutely no idea what went on in the rest of the world.) In my generation, I have seen. 1) HK crashed. (Even before 1997.) 2) Japan crashed. 3) Argentina also crashed. 4) Switzerland crashed once. 5) Dot com bubble in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_economic_crises Everybody makes choices. Yes, you are correct, I could have gone back to HK before, but after I realised that it crashed. For me, I decided to stay in the UK. My family is split between the UK and HK. Even if one area is poor.. At least we can look after the other family. This is my intention. So do not berate others until you have walked in someone else's shoes !! Look at China now ! How many people would help their own families out ? Even the SAME son.. would put down his own father, and force HIM out of a job. I read about that story, and I could not believe it. It was so bad. I have absolutely no guilt at all... My family have paid our taxes... My mother also worked in the UK as well. Especially when nobody would hire her back in HK !!! I mean, schools cost money, until it was free. I have zero respect now, for these fights in HK. But I also disrespect, a lot of migrants into HK, who SHOULD NOT BE THERE !!! A lot of people lied through their teeth to get to stay in HK. Some people even cheat the system. THIS IS NOT HOW THINGS SUPPOSED TO GO !!!!

  3537.  @johnstreet797  : Originally when people say that China's economy was "growing"... it was growing, due to the connection to the WTO. That part, grew... . and as far as I know... it was from materials like Yukon Huang's lectures on youtube. (And he used to work in World Bank... and China has two offices in the World Bank.. as far as I am concerned.) I find it odd that, these kind of channels now exists... it could be because they must have fired and restructured their media.. cos the media, were merely following "inside PRC info".... (without their UN / World Bank/ External Foreign Finance info) ... piece.. Cos frankly, are they privvy to such information? My guess is a good "no". This is whereby... Yukon was VERY clear... when he said and chose words like "the shadow banking sector" from within the PRC. Meaning that.. he is pitching... the... "if we peg the yuan to the gold, and then use the world bank's model via their own import and exports"..... (But most chinese INSIDE China... does not care for these kind of imports and exports issues.. Cos they frankly would not know what else goes on anyway. For a 1.4 billion existence... I am sure that some people are living quite happily as well... and it works out.) It is when some pieces has shown online that, they have so many people, that, even their banks... are actually not enough. As in.... their computers couldn't cope with actual... counting... hence, the duplicate bank note issues. To me, it is so simple. Do not use the same notes, but use different notes. Or to use the same currency name, but lock your actual banks, to specific region. Which is why some areas, they print their own bank notes. So then if those bank notes goes BACK to the SAME banks... Then they won't have this kind of liquidity issues at all ? Make sure that it goes back to the same bank. And once a while. Ask their customers to recall... and send back those notes etc. etc. If they kept to this.. then I think it would've worked out a whole lot better... imho... No wonder they then tried to introduce Fin Tech banking AS well.. which.. I bet this is like throwing more oil to the fire.... No wonder when they tried to raise money in the stock market... it seems like, they have an actual set and control... as in.. government is controlling them... on how much is and is not utilised etc. They have a team of so called hackers.../traders..... No wonder the individual non-state owned enterprise... person/citizen.. ends up losing a lot of money. Cos now I get what their social media call "leeks".. As in, they are harvested like leeks. Cos everything is government-controlled. Here... whereas.. in the UK.. and in the US... and even in HK... they do have a fluid investment, and stock exchange investments... Now I get why so many techies.. and tried to create things like.... app investments etc. etc. Which is now being clamped down on.

  3572. Some people refer "fake rice" as.... the brand, does not reflect exactly what is written on the labels ? Meaning say..."Made in the USA", but actually it is made in Vietnam, say. It HAS to show where it is made, and where it is grown from. This is the tough food regulation that European countries had to show.... and forces these kind of non-global compliant independent companies to be regulated, and stick to a global standard. Once upon a time, can you imagine that this was what happened ? I cannot imagine that this is so widely an issue... That is so bad. Yes, changing suppliers can happen. Then create a new company, or ask for bank loans to keep yourself afloat, or to merge with another company, or whatever ? For me, I normally say ... it is "fake rice"... Meaning that the brand was licensed across a few global suppliers.. and this is also not made known by the actual company. In HK... "fake rice".. can mean that.. some did not reach a global standard for export.. and then, they use it locally. Farmer > Export Licensee > Buyer abroad e.g. Like you say... they may not wash them first before packaging them, for example. Whereas rice from Australia, is washed first to get rid of anything.. before exporting. (There's a youtube video somewhere, I was watching it with surprise...) But this is a good thing. But the Australian case is, they are the rice farm owner, and it is the farm selling the export. And not the cases of those individual sellers... who is a single shopper, buy something, and want to make pocket change. This is not a done thing in US or the EU ? If you sell to customers, then you need to be registered as a business to begin with ? And it is taxed as well ? And you are regulated. Meaning, has to be licensed before selling ? [FYI... In the UK... if your product, or the bag of rice, shows that... the label is not representing the food items. Say... a "beef burger"... but it had horse meat. In this example, the seller... can go to jail. It is a prosecutable offence. I wonder.. if these sellers know that, they can go to jail abroad when they decide to create these kind of "fake rice" ??? ] This is why those companies like Amazon, blocks them. Cos if this go through... yes, the individual in the end sale, can sue you.. and let their government know.

  3580. I did the same, but I spent it all. My pocket money, from when I was a child. I spent it all either on friends, or those professional friends also similar from Europe as well who couldn't afford to eat. And then I also got into debts myself by being in an actual job too. I had an ISA.. only to have to use my money... to buy the shares of the company that I was working for. My actual mortgage. My rental. This is like... and travel expenses AS well... I did not play that BTL like so many people did. But judging what everyone knows now.. surely.. they themselves have literally.. ARE the...1) company, 2) the customer, and 3) citizen. Do you realise that, this has what it has become ? A single person company, their own customer (cos nobody else has money to buy anything) and 3... their votes... A lot of people cannot afford to vote, cos they cannot even get access to the net. LOL.... As much as I am ranting online here. I know that, I am not the only one.. who was at some point struggling with the internet payments as well. How can people afford food, AND the internet too ??? The government stated that most citizens are to receive free internet.. but... so many cannot afford anything. And yet, those telco use their money to boost sports instead. But so many people do not want to watch or stay in sports. This is another one of those precarious thinking of the UK government... When one of my bosses stated "May, learn NLP...."... I completely shut down. Sorry... but I deserve so much more in life. I deserve peace. I do not wish to learn more languages.. which is of no use to me. I do not wish to learn more and more. I do not wish to butt my head against a brick wall. I do not wish to be gaslighted. I do not wish to be randomly heckled.. not knowing what the other person is talking about cos I have not had the time to switch off. The only steady work, is actually to be a politician. So many people complain that they cannot find the right candidate, but they refuse to train them as well. Well.... such is life. We now have a Premier in China, that has not even finished high school, apparently, according to some journalists. And he holds the power of 1.4 billion people. And then we now have a Prime minister... who has also similar absolute power... His father in law also owns like... double digit billion networth for Infosys, if my understanding is correct. How did we get here ???

  3598. It is now NGO time.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j04K83O1yg Is this why so many individuals have been getting so much money as well ? Read this one ? I would actually DO something actually, and put down the borders etc. Apparently, these individuals are "ethnic minorities" in HK... and that, "(me)... as the "indigenous" (and almost extinct)... ex-Imperial Chinese dynastic families and clans.. are not "ethnic minorities" under the current "UN and NGO" style and format... Cos apparently, who are the real "citizens" ?????!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXqkIbCcbIw SCMP kept saying that, these individuals do not have the support of the HK SAR government, despite their pot of money being used here for the last 10 years have been around a whopping ......."2014, with funding of HK$200 million every year, "....!!! HK is only a mere 8 million city !!!! HOW can it NOT keep its people alive for the past TWENTY YEARS ?! HK should NOT carry the weight of the entire SE Asian region !!! Those countries ought to deal with their own issues !!!!!!!! And why should there be this many NGOs parked there as well ? What rubbish !!!!!! You earn the money, you stay in the city ! And refugees need to go ! And those old Colonial buildings, need to be kept as an actual diplomacies towards those countries !!!! Nothing more ! Nothing less ! Like this one.. how come, this building belongs to the British... and the Indians.. and yet, it has now been hijacked by the Muslims ?! WTF is going on ?! Since when should this be allowed !!! Those British paid for it !!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Masjid_and_Islamic_Centre So the British paid for this.. but yet, the SE Asians now gets it ? The muslim gets it for free ?! WTF !!!!!!! Why is HK SAR Government Mismanaging the money ?!!!!?? They better cough it back up !!!!! Chi sin !

  3612.  @mikelbrenn111  : Er... don't romanised this notion... cos the previous generation... were possibly like Imperial Civil servants etc.... And then it was their descendents... that did low paid work.. and then helped bring in trades.. but now.. this generation with so much media.. This is not so any more. and don't encourage them either... This is why there is a lot of inter-fighting going on.. all in the name of the UN... I found it funny, cos I did not even know that.. some of the original.. "American Asians"... were from the South of China.. or the Cantonese... (which I am part of)... So their reference to "FOB".. they meant ME... LOL.... The British Cantonese.. only came.. cos of Microsoft.. and Seattle... making HK like selling those OS pretty quick... It wasn't because they desired to be as such.. Cos those migrants who went to the LA/Cali side.. wasn't the Cantonese crowd... That is why.. the confusion. Don't assume that they would always get on... Cos they don't. And won't. (Some of the "Asians"... also came from the UK, but they could be like Malaysians.. or Singaporeans... and they are ALWAYS obsessed with the church. Even though Churches in SE Asian countries, are more like... evagelical churches, and not really recognised or accepted by Rome, or even in the UK sometimes. Long story there.) It is so odd... So it is very weird for that individual to try and bring the "church" back into the PRC. LOL...... (I was raised under the Church of England.. and I don't open my own churches ! It is all about money to them.)

  3651.  @apb2081  : Compass is still here... there are different food manufacturers.. that is the ultimate thing. I know that some of it has been cut.. but still.... there are some small volume ones. The problem that really took and clean out the UK is one of two things... which even I am finding out now. 1) The Syrian war thing. I just found out the campaign about "City of Sanctuaries"... THAT the UK is TAKING and getting involved at UN level stuff... ABOVE EU stuff, and above UK stuff... and even above the Commonwealth stuff. This grates my goat. There are more charities in the UK now, than there are companies. I can not see.. why India.. managed to HOOVER up ALL of those tech companies and start ups across the entire EU areas. And why now Russia is managed to list in Ireland. e.g. Playrix. And all of this so called digital NFTs and whatnots.. that the actual US side is also covering.. along with Russia.. and then into Shenzen.. and even Singapore... This is just... absolutely despicable really. That is one thing. Secondly... Ireland also betrayed us as well. If you look at the companies that now reside in Ireland.. this is absolutely despicable. In the USA as well.. also, many government contracts were also hoovered up too... and in a way, THAT is why the world crashed. Why India, without a stock exchange managed to get an exchange, and yet, their people do not do banking? They still buy gold. On the opposite site of the argument, why is PRC actually not even having a stock exchange? They cannot educate their people well enough? So now, they just want digital exchange ??? Why ???? Why should we be forced into this kind of life. This kind of stupid "gaming life" ???? There is now a non-gaming class people now... it creates a social divide in china. The elders do not even know what kids do for a living.

  3653.  @rjbjr  : Sorry, but people can F OFF... Cos there is no "Single china". This is the point. It is a loose "united" so called "Country"... but in actual fact, it is a region, made up of several countries... Please do not unite people to be under the same, and lose their families, their heritages, and their lands. This is going to cause another civil war. Like many many many wars before that. This is why people hate.. and people DO HATE !!!!! Japan does not have this problem. Korea does not have this problem. Who would want someone else, to invade their homes and their cities ?! Nobody !!!! Would Janssen loves it, if somebody, just went to his home, and invade them ? Steal his house. Steal his identity. Steal his wealth, steal his land ? NOBODY likes this. NOBODY wants this either !!! China is not a meritocracy... and it is obvious that, many people just want the power.. And there is also a lack of democracy as well. Even though you say that there is democracy, but there is not. Even if you look into Europe.. We know who can and who cannot do what, x y or z. This is as designed. People's EQs are extremely high. They would NOT be out of line. Especially on major decisions which kills their own people off... or for their own people to suffer etc. US is a new country. It has to keep reforming its rules and its laws... but they actually are a mini UN. Cos the people from there, are from different regions of Europe. People got their lands. Also, the native Americans were once upon a time, actually North Americans.Some say that they were Siberians... and it is not the Europeans, trying to invade the Siberian's lands. This is what they did. They "conquered" and reduced those people down.. til they are gone, and died out !!! South China, shall NEVER be this way !! This is what Hitler did, he deliberately pushed those people into a train, and killed them in a massive grave !!!! NO TO THIS ONE SINGLE CHINA !!! NO TO THIS SINGLE LANGUAGE !!! Cos this was also what happened during those Nazi years... And same again with cultural revolutions.... "be with me, or be against me".. and then killed the rest of the people. NO !!!!!!

  3654.  @rjbjr  : You are wrong. The UN was never this big before, and if it was not for the likes of Sun Yat Sen... who tried to bridge the gaps.. and tried to unify the country, and turned people Nationalistic, which is the China Proper part.. then would they have risen to power today ? Overrun by the Mongolian and Russian sub-state ? Stealing such ideas, have collapsed the actual civilisation groups amongst certain regions. Like Amazon tribes... they have been discovered, and nowhere to hide. So much so now that, their child is stolen away to be used to be "retrained". Those of us, who went abroad to study, can still hold these memories... and the sound that our ancestors have said and was taught. And slowly changed. Weitou is no longer even a dialect for HK, never mind to speak the regional formal language like Cantonese/Yue. Your assumption is that, mandarin is now the "national language" and it is not forced, but it IS forced. Cos kids would get discredited, if they do not follow it. They do not advance. (They get marked at school, and assessed against this marking.) What do you mean, they should and need to ? When the surveillance state comes into play... they would get their scores knocked off, for doing a simple step out of line. This is what will happen. I am afraid that my allies in Taiwan, know so much more of what is going on within the mainland itself, than anywhere else. Read this thread.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_Atlas_of_Chinese_Dialects#/media/File:Map_of_sinitic_languages_full-en.svg Min/Hakka/mandarin, sound exactly the same.. if you really listen. And to denote that, people have control of their speech, or control of their local areas, is fake. Cos they don't !!! This is the point ! How can a university, (which majority of university in China, was created under the past 100 years only), how can they... suddenly turn and change the course of these people's destinies for the worst ???? If they are not going to help, then they should not help. Cos this is forcing them to be slaves. Economic slaves.

  3655.  @rjbjr  : Why should these tribes and people, is discovered, and then actually "adopt nationalism" ??? They are their own sovereignty !!! Do you get what this term means ? They are the Kings and the Queens of their own mini-Kingdom !!! Read these comments. Cos the introduction of the internet, and these so called "fake information" has eroded away these people's own sovereignty and their legitimacies to their own kingdoms ! Like in the past generation... how did these people revolted to invasion ? They fought their way through, and now in this so called technology generation, they have no goddamn ammunition to push back... ----------- "Fieldwork was conducted between December 2002 and December 2006, and the resulting data entered into a geographic information system.[3][4] The 46 fieldworkers, 34 of whom held doctoral degrees in Chinese dialectology, were assigned to areas they were already familiar with.[8] A single informant was used from each site, typically a male born between 1931 and 1945 who had spent almost all of his life at the site.[7] This was in line with the usual practice in dialect geography elsewhere in the world of using nonmobile, older, rural males (NORMs), as such informants are considered more likely to reflect the traditional speech of the area.[9] The maps were compiled and collated throughout 2007.[10][11]" ---- "Field work".... So these studies take around a mere 30 to 100 people, and put together a mere simple concept, or an idea... and erase, the rest of the 1.4 billion people ??? How much of these sample studies, could have been applied to these poor sods ??? And then, people like this Janssen guy, for the desire to want to trade with so called "China"... of 1.4 billion people, cos they see them as money-making machines... will sell HIS soul... over these people's SOVEREIGNTY ?? So in effect, it makes these poor sods, his slaves ? His marketing slaves ???? Listen to yourself !

  3657.  @rjbjr  : Are you of Chinese heritage ? And also, are you and have you ever lived in China ? I am Chinese, from the South of China. From Hong Kong. Have been for at least several generations. I think you misunderstood what this video is showing, and telling.. While you are a foreigner to the country. I DO have ties to HK, and therefore China. I find what this say, quite odd, and weird... Cos he portray things, which is not entirely correct, and not 100% correct either. Pompeo is supporting China, and the CCPs. But those of us who are moderate, do try to stick to regional integrities... and I find the words from Elmer Yuen a lot palatable, than what Mr Janssen is saying here... and no, learning mandarin is NOT good !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nweMchOUFUI This video shows you why a lot of people do not support the CCP members.. They are not even government. This is the point that they are trying to make. But overseas foreigners assume that they are the ruling classes, but actually, they are a mere association of sorts. This is the issue here and now... About the US surrounding China. Did you know that, Russia give arms to Beijing ? You should watch the entire series... "中共賣國史" - PRC's betrayal's history. They talk of the newspapers and the articles written about the news of the country. From 1900s to the recent days now. How Japan, Manchuria, Mongolia and Russia's relationships are inter-linked.... And how, even how, there is this kind of close relationship between Russia and Beijing/State Council. They speak Cantonese, and are supportive of Southern China... Cos they stated that, the country, was once 5 Nations. People's Republic of China= 中華人民共和國 共-和-國 = United-Peaceful-Nations. (Those 5 nations were Tibet/Uyghur/China Proper/Manchuria /Mongolia) There was not a "single country" concept and state, or intention. The fact that, Mongolia, is now forced and PUSHED to actually speak Mandarin... the Mongolians are pushing back. Rightly so !!! They are big enough to be independent.. and quite solely rightful to be united in their heritage. Mongolia in mondern day, speak a semi version of their language. Cos they have been slowly eroded of their heritage ! Mongolian scripts are not used. And they have been split as well. Inner Mongolia split from Outer Mongolia. And that, they write and use a version of Russian Ping Yum... and not even speak and is not supported to learn their own language. And Russia kept them as slaves. Rather than to build up their environments as well ?? The country is super rich, why are they being suppressed ?!

  3706. Real life should reflect offline life. So if you go to a shop. Then you should be able to pay. But without somebody then stealing your bank account's money. I had this done to me. I ordered something online... and then there is a gap somewhere... What then happened? I found two deliveries came. Although I clicked on it once. This is one example. So then it means that... did my second lot of money was taken out of my account without my authorisation? Secondly... I did worked in this sector too... and have seen... another competitor.. basically squeezing the supplier's pricing. i.e. They take two charges. 1) From the subscriber and then 2) from the outsourced supplier. This is a foreign national, mind. Isn't this illegal ?? I am not aware that in the United Kingdom... that your business model, can be set this way, because all businesses are legally defined? And that you have to follow the treasury's codes.. set up for businesses??? So he is operating it in two different ways? Really ? TWO businesses, under a single structure? But he did accounted for the different pricings and taxation as well ? There was also another situation whereby I lost my mobile phone.. and then I had to actually report this.. and then... Well. I went to my bank. My bank showed me ALL... "companies" trying to get money from my account. I was shocked to find which ones did tried to attack my account and to extract money from this. Very surprised. So yeh.... "How to do business, without being hacked, and stolen from." This company that tried to "do this"... has never ever... I have never ever given them my bank details... Never. So how did they connected the bank details.. to my person? I have used the service of the business before, as fun. I paid by cash. Always. And yet.. this is automated... You do not think that I would remember? Or maybe they are assuming that they are banking that, I would not recall... A friend of mine used to always say...."check your statements for anything untowards".... Well.. this is true. This is why, in the UK, they cannot get rid of cash... I think this is enshrined in law now in the UK. Cos frankly? A lot of people literally scam you for your digital money... I have read about this for cases in HK or in SE Asia.. but I would never imagine that this is happening in the UK too... And so many so called "start ups"... Well... Why are the banks closing in the UK and in Europe? Ever tried to see if they have been hacked? Probably have.

  3717.  @zhaoraymond8656  : Are you talking about the Huawei's CFO? Of course she is right to be arrested. First of all: 1) Huawei's products.. regardless of whether it is, or it is not the militaries... This is classified as the militaries in the United States. Even the average citizen does not know it. Just because you do not consider it as part of military materials and equipments... outside the PRC.. It IS the military's equipments ! 2) As a CFO... why does she have so many passports? It does not mean that she is entitled to travel around so many areas... Only diplomats can allow a passport. Don't tell me that inside the PRC... ALL certain types of elites... are issued with ALL passports.. without the authorisation, OR knowledge... of those respective governments? Don't tell me that you guys have those machines... and just print them.. but without liasing with other countries. If so.. then that is quite rude. 3) Why should the CFO not be prosecuted ? Isn't PRC on the Security Council as well? They are, aren't they ? So why would somebody like that, conflict or tries to undermine the other dept within the government ? By going "private" or consider the company as private and not a local government entity... are you not misleading others here? Globally ??? You sure do not have an issue with the governmental structures? How can a mere provincial level.. be classified as the top central government in its doing and in its actions ??? She should be prosecuted ! Based on what she has authorised... she can be killed. By law. It makes her an actual terrorist ? Cos she authorised and sold those items ? She signed them off ? She is the CFO....And why would a CFO not have an actual CFO qualification behind her as well? Who would promote THAT !?!?!?!!..... Yeh.. she acts like this is an imperial issue.. but this is much bigger than that ! She has no sense of humiliation ??? What she is selling... others can use to kill countries, citizens... And she has no shame? It is like selling knives.. to a mad man.. and he uses it to kill a classroom full of children. She would go and do that? She let them be used to kill. Do you think that is morally right? I don't !

  3739.  @mountainpeakcloud8442  : I think... from what I can see of his facial expression, the guy looks pained. For what? I don't know. I've read so much social media videos.. and posts and things. And I had absolutely NO idea... that the world.. and HK has become what it is really? And I am supposed to be from there also. Considered myself as British Cantonese.. and I am shocked, and horrified, a LOT ?.... Like... people don't have... The last time I went back was around 2010... and I am sure that, it was not that built up to begin with. As well.. as so chaotic.... and SO dense as well !!!! I cannot believe that some people say... I knew that the city had like around 8 million people... but I had no idea that, around 30 million people enter and transit through HK each year. That is a LOT of people. The HK that I still remember is maybe from the 1980s and the 1990s.... Frankly... I really don't even like the current concrete jungle place. At all. I don't know what the heck has been done to the city... and why so many "business people" transit via HK... and nor.. wondered why... so many hatred as well.. overall.. and in general... coming out of the mainland and from the mainland. AT ALL. !Ck.. the kind of thing that people say online as well... If they would not say such things offline, then don't say it online. I read about the density of people as well... and the expectation.. of say Shenzen... I never did manage to enter into Shenzen.. even though my mother wanted me to. But I really don't have a good outlook of the entire density jungle of the Greater Bay area... Squeezed into a 60 million existence. This is their intention. From a density of around 6 k per km squared. Can you imagine how HK or Shenzen will be ? ... You ever lived in the USA ? I really hope that China, or the PRC does not become as so. In Europe.. nobody likes that. At all. Nobody. It is a mean exercise. Absolutely crazy. Mean. And stupid. HK is not save at all... you're wrong. There's always been actual crime in HK. Just that those who worked in the financial sector never knows about it. Always had... and always would be. If I recall... actual and literal daylight robbery of those jewellery stores as well.... even back in the 1980s... Just that, it was not ever told in English. Or in the English papers. Of course... the investors.. and the banking sector people would NEVER EVER know.... !!! And it will NEVER EVER... get reported or added to their statistics. I think this must have been what went on behind the scenes. Cos there is no way that people would enter a place, if they knew. But yeh... maybe one must be hopeful.... But it seems like most mainland Chinese... are not polite though. When white people give face to them.. they don't "give face" back at all... Even though, some of the investments, DO come from white people's money as well... plus some of the oversea's chinese money.... I wonder if those people knew.. or ever knew....

  3776. Yeh.. so the future means that it will be Singaporean. Basically. This is what it means. I then hope that UK joins back to the EU then. An army base is to protect trade goes smoothly. The British wanted absolute exit at that point. Their wishes should've been complied with. I now see so many Malaysian and Singaporeans causing absolute havac in the UK. What is the meaning of this ? The movie Aliens definitely springs to mind. Despite a lot of the so called discrimination against the whites. The entire group of girls being treated badly in Rotherham. White girls being raped is common. The other white lady who went to HK to work only ended up as being raped on holiday as well... And ended up as a Buddhist. Basically taken as an actual concubine now. Not religion.. she is now a second or third wife. And translators doesn't even translate those goddamn words and look at the actual setup. Wow.... And with social media whereby most if it's employees are typically Asians as well. Creating a filtered bubble and works. Marginalising such voices. Singapore.. you have blood on your hands !!!!.... Katie Hopkins were right she was absolutely right. This piece of history is not taught in the UK... and those girls who had to go into those kinds of care homes... Judging this kind of history about the commonwealth situation shows basically... Why those girls were badly treated. Why feminism needs to exist. One time.. I saw with my own eyes... A so called Singaporean guy laughing at a young girl going out for the night with her friend. He thinks that she is a prostitute and acting like a prostitute. And yet.. she is going to a designated club for people her own age group. And she is helping her local economy too. And she was black. Why is this generation being marginalised and silenced and kowtowing to such power hungry people ? Absolutely disgusting !!!

  3794.  @solowomanyudachi8202  : The language is also one thing. Nobody dared, to either lie, or to overwrite the previous generation's educational standard. Even in HK alone, there were a lot of different dialects, but they have been eroded away... You now have people living in cage homes. Even if they have an actual hukuo... These people are of course, feel free. Cos they are allowed to move into different regions, which are meant to be individual countries themselves. So now, anyone in this generation, can take over the land, the resources, from previous generations' hard work, money poored into those areas, and so forth. How did, mongolians... actually created money, if they were nomads to begin with ? And how come, the Dutch merchants, who created the banking system in HK, now has to share their wealths with another race??? These are ignorants people... Cos they have no idea who laid down the ground for them to walk on to begin with.... Economist: "Everyone is happy, until they run out of someone else's money".... In 1970.. China had around 700 million people... It doubled, under Mao. There is not going to be enough, for everybody in China... Other countries have kept a control of their people's population... They even inter-marry their extended families, in order to be frugal. What has China done for the world ? Who deserved anything ??? I hope, in my generation, I want to see China shrink back down its population. I want to see different class level in China. I want this to be done. To address the future, and to remain humble. I want to see the integrity, to follow the past... and gentrify... its people, and its language... Yes, I am Chinese. I want this very very much.

  3828.  @user-or6yn8pm3c  : I met a taxi driver once and I asked him where he is from. He said Pakistan, and then we talked. And then he said that he was in a good job, and then his wife was a teacher. Both of them, were considered as "Middle Class" by Pakistan's actual level... And for any country to "break through" that middle class level.. SOMEBODY has to sacrifice. Meaning that, 1) abortion HAS to exist....and 2) donation and charities HAS to exist, in PARALLEL to.... high growth areas. IF BOTH areas are cruised... Then you will reach that high income level as well.. And then make sure that your taxes go back round, and that is how you break through... Each country has things that other countries will want. That is always the way any way. It is how to juggle this, which makes things work as well. Many people in the past have earned their money and gone back home to rebuild. This is often a way out of the future poverty... Well, this couple had to pay a lot more taxes, and NI, and water rates, and electricity and rent.. And he said that they did not considered these outgoings. So I said. "Well.. IF.. things are a lot better, than you have learnt a lesson, have you not ? It is not too late to restart back in Pakistan." Even good educated people, like GPs and Doctors in the UK, they live in a single studio flat... and their council taxes are high, on top of their flat's maintenance fees. That is around 2k, just for accommodation and utilities as well, EVEN before... actually.... anything else. Maybe in the future, we need to do things differently. Like, instead of exporting goods. We need to export rubbish round the world and clean up the water. Even if we do not hit that energy goal etc. We need to use and clean up the excessive rubbish... Even if it takes a long time, we still have to.

  3830. That is true.... when I was younger, I used to be scared... of people that is not part of my family.... However.. there are boundaries, surely ? You now have the internet, and the social media too. Which often paints and portrays a biased piece of the world view as well. People look at something for FIVE seconds... and then create the entire back story to it. Rather than to ignore something or read into something. I have had "chinese 'friend'" who thought that I was "stealing her husband". I have had families, who misread something from online... from my own boss. Or our banter from work. (THIS is a PRIVATE CONVERSATION.) Thank you Facebook for ruining lives. I posted something, which I found funny, or odd... in a VERY innocent way... I expect open conversations... but then, somebody thought that this is an offensive thing to say. I used to talk to my friends, or chinese friends from chinese school about old proverbs.... like we do.... and this, when I posted on FB, it was mistaken as an insult to those who works in the social media sectors, and somebody, goddamn them... somebody deleted my comments, on my own private sections. This kind of online world, that does not allow innocence is absolutely arrogant. Dictatorial... and more !!!! It creates, and generates FEAR within people !!!!! People are left with fear... and not honesty.... any more. UK is a tiny tiny tiny country, and people DO live on top of each other. So integration is super important. There is a lot of established intimacies already.... as in.... in jokes.. about the past. Or in jokes... about an actual TV show... or an in joke... about a specific p!sstake of some tv shows. People laughs amongst themselves. Those who doesn't live in the country, or is new, would not know. Or don't really care. They are looking for connections... emotional, or otherwise. And THIS is why they would be upset... or annoyed.. Cos they don't get the jokes. When they don't get the jokes, then they would get angry. Most people just stay silent... and only participate where they could ? (AND OH.... even when people come to the UK... and state that they are 'Christians'..... lol.... They are NOT Christians !!!! AT ALL !!! Nothing about their approach, is very cordial, or hospitable. All they see Christianity, is that of a charity, and an actual bank. - Cos people donate money to the church and then they get a cut. THIS is what they see ! And they expect the entire country to run this way ! But it does not ! ) The church is an actual extension of the Church of England. And it is an entity that is run differently to the Catholic Churches etc etc.... Every other Asians that comes to the UK, wants to, and likes to open their own churches.... I don't even know how the modern UK government can deal with such things. Especially when certain areas are illegal or it clashes. 1800 centuries' christianity has moved on, from and onto the 2022's..... And some people fail to accept this as well.

  3839. I will say this much. Today it is now 2022... Point 1 - HK's poverty level is around 19% !?!!! What IS this ??? I had thought that with the busy-ness... it is less or should be less than this alone. "Hong Kong recorded a poor population of more than 1.4 million people and a poverty rate of 21.4% according to the pre-intervention poverty figures in 2019. The Hong Kong Poverty Situation Report 2019 released by the Government today showed that recurrent cash measures lifted 392,900 people out of poverty and reduced the poverty rate by 5.6 percentage points last year. After the Government's recurrent cash intervention, the poverty rate recorded a slight increase in 2019 of 0.9 percentage point to 15.8%." (Source: HK government's website.) Point 2 - Many European countries are < 8 percent. It works very very hard to reduce this level as well. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/does-the-uk-have-a-higher-rate-of-poverty-than-other-rich-countries/ss-AA14bf5n?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=a5311257a28644dda4ff10b04b00e8e7#image=30 I mean... I didn't know that, HK literally had people leaving... and to expand where.. into China? So now... China... the PRC government is arrogant that, instead of saving region by region and then to have control on risk.. it wants to uplift everybody all at once... and do this "merry go round"... instead.... South Korea and Japan has a good standard of living.... They need to figure out how to turn around their fortune to be circular... but I mean.... HK has nothing left, but a shell ?! Why did other countries and people within SE Asia.. literally just.. abandoned the city ???? What goes round, comes around as well. The German's TV channel covered this to be pretty high... When people... migrate and movement is too freely.. the poverty level will indeed increase. If you stay put.. but invest and follow a circular business cycle. This will be less worst. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2pD_y61jx4&t=468s Everybody talks about the boom.. but nobody talks about, how to give back that money and to recycle it back round... Or to integrate closely.... Well... with so many politicians doing deals.. as well as people just are transient.. and with the addition of these so called tech comps as well... Well... the poverty level shall and will increase instead. Cos nobody knows those people exists.. Cos they are written off the figures. And now, with these videos.. showing so much poverty... and people do not even catch them. Politicians do not catch them and reintegrate them back into society.... WELL.... 20% is extremely high for HK. I bet the original Parsis and the Jewish money have literally been robbed out of their minds, hasn't it??....

  3852.  @laurenhall2547  : The facial recognition is a form of money laundering control. So previously, Tesco set up club card. That is meant to be basically mere marketing details. But somehow, they use that... against your payment.. when you now actually uses their machine. This in effectively, is making Tesco to become an actual credit card company, with facial recognition softwares to "confirm" that you are a real creditor. With a good record behind you etc. This is like a reverse credit card formation, for a company. Cos many of the Tesco products were outsourced from China. For cheap. And for years, they have invested in some kind of chinese army fund. And then, they have now exited back out? I am sure that.. they gained and got those facial recognition software and bought it when they were inside China. Cos I recall seeing their products everywhere in HK. Odd tins of beans in a local HK supermarket. Which was odd. Credit card companies are a form of "peer to peer lending"... and China, has increased this amount and basically exploded. They made their own banks run. If you think that Northern Rock was bad... well... think again now. But in a more global scale. I just realised what has happened... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mq_vrDLN7w&t=2032s Dutch documentary.. about their perspective.. and how it related to actual European politics. And of course, Greece is still trying to sue ! Rightly SO !!!! Cos these are toxic debts ! With these toxic debts. Don't tell me that.. they are trying to recooperate the money back from who? Retailers? Consumers ??? Why does Amazon need a facial recognition software ? Don't you know that... some of these "details" send a "transaction" across the globe sometimes ? This is what Yukon Huang classified as "shadow banking". i.e. Not proper banking, but like remits... or credit card loans.... I knew it.

  3856.  @itsnay7382  : Sorry.. but surely... you knew about Tesco's old club card scheme which collected customer's datas ? I think this is quite famous, isn't it ? The classic CRM.... which trumped everybody else. This is well documented, and taught throughout educational materials. And didn't Tesco then went global ? Expanded into SE Asia... and then onto and into China too? I'm sorry... but why would you not know this ??? They also went into Europe as well. This is very well known. Into countries like Poland.. earn their money and then exited when it was too much competition. At the same time... didn't to enter the PRC... you need to have an actual "joint venture" with the government ? Hence, they matched it against a state-owned enterprise. Aka "an SOE".... sorry.. but this is very well documented. Read the wiki on their company. And then didn't they.. because they entered China... they then also expanded their own products.. to include Tesco Mobile as well ? And spun off another actual... business unit ? And then, they capitalised on the android wave ? And then the increasing "mobile app" explosion on the clouds? And that, those mobiles now uses either facial recognition software... or that, Tesco has their own card payment using a plastic card, but their own facial recognition software as well for payments ? I think you will find that, this is all true. Cos now.. Tesco has their own financial products too... and hence, their discounting options. Sorry.. but surely you knew of that.. and all of that, since you worked for them for so long ???? In some of their metro stores are facial recognition softwares. Surely you knew this right ??? Tesco have now entered into the financial services sector... as well... You did not know that the chinese militaries had their own "side business" ???..... China Resources Enterprise (CRE) = China Resources Group : "The joint venture will make investments in offshore companies (non-PRC incorporated companies) .....in particular with respect to the lifestyle, fashion and healthcare sectors. Leveraging on the distribution network of China Resources Group in China and the Fung Group's global supply chain, the joint venture partners will help companies expand their businesses." https://en.prnasia.com/releases/apac/china-resources-enterprise-and-fung-investments-form-us-300-million-investment-platform-360380.shtml Before Britain helped China... there was just a mere "PRC"... but now they have the money, from the goods which we sold in the UK. And then, they used this money to leverage.. and float in the PRC's stock exchanges... and in return now... Tesco now provides financial services... using technology which these "provincial state companies"... now make profit from the UK off. Why did you think that Huawei was able now to provide an OS... of their own, on their own mobile handsets... and yet, those handsets will now feed back into the respective finance' sectors ???? Even Tesco has their own now. Tesco Mobile... just that the payment transaction feed, may be a UK bank. Although they have enough cash within their own company to literally just recycle that money off. "The company started as Liow & Company (Chinese: 聯和公司) in Hong Kong in 1938. Its original purpose was to raise funds and purchase supplies and equipment for the Eighth Route Army and later People's Liberation Army, then engaged in the Chinese Civil War.[1] It was renamed as China Resources Corporation (Chinese: 華潤公司) in 1948. In 1983, the company was incorporated as China Resources (Holdings) Company Limited ...." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Resources Nothing wrong really. Everybody spins off a government's dept or arm's !!!

By "popular", don't you mean that MS has not literally already spammed... and forced their ex-customers to render their machines useless... and basically killed off that node, and therefore forces people to buy idiotic chromebooks and to "shape the internet" and force you to become the same pool of people ? Fighting one another ? Ever since this lockdown, I have seen many killing sprees in my local region.. despite police daily running round filming... To justify what ? To justify that there was no killing? And yet there has been an increase in stabbings, but the police takes no action. Why ? Graffities have increased exponentially. I guess this is NOT on the SAME level as the current videos that is being filmed, isn't it ???? Many government uses FB now as well... and some would go as far as to stalk their own constituents as well. Especially if you DON'T even vote for them !!! When your local MPs KNOW what you think from FB... what is there left over TO see, or to HEAR ??? Or to READ ? Should there NOT have been an area of impartiality and that for you to gain a seat, that you should STILL do your promotional rounds any way ???? You know that life is bad, when the same group of cabbies, run the entire city, and that their money-laundering ways, literally allows them to connect with one another, so much so that, even national level powers are forcing people to take note. So now, the politicians are the local businessmen... as well as the local... FB "advertising" people... They sit in the 1) political tier, 2) the business tier, 3) and some legal tiers as well.... So why should I not have euthanasia on the offer ??? I think I deserve this, imho.

  3897. For example.. some of their so called "P2P" payments "peer to peer payment" systems.. are basically individuals... lending their own excess cash or money, at a hyped price? Like, a high loan value ??? Think of the same equal example as the BTL landlords in the UK at the moment. This is why it happens. Cos it is higher than the actual Bank of England rate. So what they have done here, is the same too. They are lending more money than they have in their own central banks. And they don't also depreciate either, or slow depreciation as well... and this is also chaos too.. Cos they say that they hold certain amount of foreign capitals as well... (But in reality, since they have the shadow banking, this is not true.) Cos all the foreign banks, if they took back all the foreign cash into their own country. It does not even add up ??? So then... in this situation, you can only create like "time-restricted loans".... i.e. Long term longs. Like, a loan of 100 years. A loan of 50 years. A loan of 25 years... etc etc etc... And you pay it slowly back in time. As in... 1 % per year.. for the rest of your life. But they don't want to do that inside China. Cos they don't accept it. It is either a case of "cash in hand, or nothing at all"... or in their case... "I saw this in the West, then this is normal"... They don't have the entire banking knowledge, or the background information either. As in.. like... Germany have a 100 year mortgage loan... for example.. of even in Japan.. they pay their debts around 1.5 generation? Around 40 years... Even my mortgage is around 20-30 years. Many have around 30 years mortgages... Which is normal. But these individuals.. are not doing that.

And because other countries doesn't protest... and that China keeps actually using military and satelite forces to FORCE other countries' citizens to comply.. such that.. they are creating a warring situation. Cos if those citizens want to vote for war. It will happen !!!!! How can 70 million people support 1.2 billion people? How can 300 million people, support 1.2 billion people? WHY does China keep manufacturing and expecting exports ???? They are already over populated to the extent that, they can't even manage themselves well. After the second world war.. Japan curbed their population growth. e.g. Abortions. Contraceptive. Same with the UK and in Europe too. It is because healthcare exists such that, the need for housing is reduced as well.. and you can easily use your generational pay to pay off any buildings and reach that typical upper limit earnings. The fact that these people, doesn't even know.. and just kept going.. like in a flat organisational structures... WHEN they have never even counted.. what is actually exist in the global world. There is NOT enough... resources in the entire world, for PRC to keep growing. Did you know this ???.... Africa has around another billion people.. India as well. India wears cloths.. and cottons. Africa does not even have CLOTHES !!! Many don't even wear clothes !!!!!! Does PRC REALLY want to "open up the African country's markets" ??!?!!!!! They still have tribes ! Naked tribes ! So does India too !!! And guess what... once upon a time... HK had too ! https://www.facebook.com/theoldhongkong/photos/a.2115985238427412/1970697019622902/?type=3 Don't use.. a mere... 2-3 million people's history... to override that of a whopping 1.2 BILLION citizens !!! And also... WHERE did these people came from ?! Somebody wrote that... even just a mere 40 years ago... there was a reported global population of around 3 billion. And today, it is around 8 billion people ? HOW ??.... And yet, SOME people say that... there are around globally 18 billion mobile phones?!!!? WHY does this exist ? I don't believe in those BS. Do you ??? Somebody is definitely manipulating actual computers here too. HOW is this possible?

In the West, you would allow the actual individual be locked under a mental health hospital, while their child is looked after by social services, and be fed cat food. That is what you would do. And you would make him angry, cos you just caused a situation whereby he wants to knock your block off. So yeh... the child eats the food... and the dad is locked up. In the West... you would take the land of the father.. and be given to the criminal.... That is what you would do. The guy ends up being a tyrant... and killed for a living.. but that is fine, cos you would give him a second chance. (And also his relatives as well.... which then kicks off and kill more of this man's relatives abroad....).... and he would kill the same people in the UK as well... What happens ? He would take his inlaws' hard earned money... married for her money.. and then dump her and her parents. Supposedly use that bit of money for his son. While he has an actual mistress in the end. And dumped and divorced her. And then what.. has another child abroad in Malaysia.... invite all their relatives to marginalise that young boy ??? (Despite so many helped raise his family.. while he was living in prison.) Of course... invite the daughter of some PLA general as well.. why not... and it is funny how she talked about the 14K people.... whilst working for somebody that has ties to that. Under her very nose, and unknown about this at all. Of course... this man and his relative ends up killing the relative of another man as well... for their wealth.... to feed his own people.... his pensions, his savings.. his everything.... And they cut off his tongue in the process as well. Isn't this why some people ends up in the NHS for ?? To take revenge ?? To get rid of the money ??? Out of the entire globe.. the same families can be targetted around 4 to 8 times ? How is this possible when the world is around 8 billion people ?????? Such a coincident, right ???

  3945. China is stuck because.. the smartest people that they need, they already have inside the company. So then.. outside the company. They don't have the knowledge or the creators? So it ends up top heavy. If this was the situation... what a "free market" like the USA would do.. is to kick out those people... and then those people enter the actual market.. and they create or demand from the manufacturers... products that they want. But because China is a closed, and tightly controlled "state-owned enterprises" as well.... This is what normally happens. They are kind of kowtowing, and somewhat blinded. This is why... they would always want overseas people... Cos they have better idea sometimes. But doing this... also invite social harassments from the locals too. Cos then, they don't even actually... they will resent the overseas' candidates in getting the job, but not themselves ???.... And by right, the teaching sector should focused on continually.. keep repeating the next 10 year's goals to the kids and the children.. but of course, forward planning is not a thing in China. Cos they plan bakcwards... mostly on the national level.. and not on the local level upwards. Some said that was what happened... but in reality... well... Now people are lost. Cos you cannot trump... the future.. by doing the everything now. And not earn to keep and to create a future? In some smart countries.. They will use the "wrong methods for 10 years to hold the forte"... only for the next turning point... the year 11... for the next generation to do. This is what other countries does. Of course.. China won't learn these kind of tricks...

  3948. This is why, many actual oversea's chinese, were the overseas chinese to begin with. And originally, they assume that to want a foreigner to teach English is the best. But then you are losing those boundaries as well. Cos foreign teachers tend to drink and to see the rest of their private lives as "socialable". Whereas if you were an actual "teacher" here in the UK and the USA, you are a lot more restricted in your behaviours too. Just because you let your social guard down, cos these are young children, and is belonging to somebody, so you need to be easier on their lives too... as to so that they could PASS ???.... The standards that I am seeing, is like, setting PhD levels, on 7 year olds. Even children here in the UK is NOT like this ! Don't make them to reach a standard, that is not even actually easy to use, or to do ! Just show them useable phrases, and how to ask for more ways to learn. SHOW them how to use a dictionary, and how to structure a paragraph, or to even write an essay. Read books, and to write. Use a different style. Set them continually to learn. I kind of expect them to be able to do this, continually. When I was learning here in the UK. We had 3 groups. 1) Those who need help to reach basic level. 2) Those who are fine, and can deal with every task given. 3) Those who is edgy and is angry at being slowed down by the class and its teaching materials. Set those on "homework, for extra", as to not see them disrupt the class in general. Every single class, is set this way. And nobody was discriminated against. Once, those "who needed extra help" is done. Then, they are sent their way. Many children who needed help.. and was not too shy to ask for help... They normally stay behind. (Very shy, and know that they are dumb.) The teachers would stay behind to show them their mistakes. Once they learn the mistakes. (And is not holding back the classes.) Then they are on their way. So.... it isn't that china, is any different, it is HOW you structure your class in general.. and not to disrupt.. or to be unfair.. to the entire class itself. I thought that was a very fair way. Cos then, they graded their levels already...I was normally a "C" grade child. Actually. But if I was in China, I think my grade would be A++.... !!!

  3958.  @sonnyirish3678  ​ : Then we play hard bottie... Cos Indians have already taken many tech jobs everywhere in the globe.. and at first.. I also don't understand why we have those used mobile phones and tech phones as well.. I get it now. They are for click farms. I want us to go into strongly into the waste sector. i want every single used mobile phone to reach the UK to be destroyed. Also.. UK still and does import a lot of Indian spices too... cos India is playing hard ball.. I think Microsoft... has bought a lot of lands in India as well... and they broke their cooperatives... and now they have supply chain issues and such like. Well... Many Indians wanted the great life... in the USA... so... and America is reacting backwards as well. We should also increase our waste to raw material processing as well.. once again.. and kick start some mini-manufacturing... And also get rid of the old clothing sectors... If we play this.. then India has no say... We don't even charge them patents for speaking English to begin with ! So what are they on about ! At the same time... the fake and bad "Life in the UK" tests are done by really bad and scammy Indian setups. I don't like it... Cos they cheat a lot of these migrants.. and they pay gazillion amount of pounds... and they keep failing them. I think 400 or whatever for each tests? And then not even... to get a visa .. yet either... But people still gun for this. People live in poverty is because of this. Even if the person is decent.. they end up being nasty in the end cos they've been cheated.

  3966.  @ninitch42  : When the majority of Filipino nurses, were allowed into the country, and gain citizenship. It is from the State/Government that you would stay until you retire... and not to run off, in the middle of your working life. THAT is what people are annoyed about. Cos even if you start off low, the ladder works itself out.. it goes UPWARDS... you would get promoted. A lot of people who did the 40 years of working life, does it. And then they save for their children as well... It is rare to have such a permanent job. Alas, you only see the money sign and not the long road.. but you want the short cuts. This is also normal.... cos I've done that too when I was younger, I burn out by the time I am in my middle of my 20s. I kind of needed a break. This is why, you need to pace yourself. A lot of people, does not also ask for help either.. when they are too stressed from the work. Nurses's HR support, also might not exists as well. If you were very local... Many nurses, rather than a desk job, or a side way move, to reduce the work load first. Or some people, go onto the rota schemes and does part time instead.... (which works out, a LOT better mentally and emotionally for themselves as well).... I hope you would change your mind... and consider what we said. A lot of nurses, have indeed taken side moves.... but stays in the NHS as well. Some people does some basic researches. Whatever it may be... I just hope that you may change your mind at some point. Many people are very qualified individuals as well... A chef could be a doctor in another country, here in the UK. Or a mechanical engineer, when British Steel was nationally owned, but now they work in most administrative/managerial roles. I know one STEM... she went into customer services... (but of a scientific company).... And because she didn't see it another way, after my talk, she got promoted within 4 years into Customer Service's Manager. See ???.. It is possible. And in those years, she quickly had kids asap.

  3975. @Dan : At the end of the days, the EU citizens actually have a different immigration status, compared to an ex-commonwealth. This is how the immigration laws are. Have always been, and have always been the case? I am like the 3rd generation now. And I am fine with this as well. My nephew is the 4th. His dad is an EU citizen.. and he is chilling... and is not fretting.... The problem now.. as you can read in this entire thread alone. Some of the non-EU members, are complaining , but then again... we knew that... it would happen, cos WE exported those jobs already.. Take the footsie 100 in London... Who does not know Unilever.. or the various global companies. Shouldn't those ex-commonwealthers BE working and gunning for THOSE MNC jobs ? What did you think that the ESG thing was all about ? Many commonwealth citizens did ended up working in those companies... and have done quite well too. It is the ESG aspect, that they NEED to focus on a lot more. I don't want to see THIS situation happening... I am 45 this year... my nephew is now Belgian-British (his mother is cantonese, possibly jewish-armenian, but I shall find out soon with a DNA test, and his dad is Belgian)... I do not want to see this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv35JG8g6vo&t=69s Surely, now that South Africa is wealthy now, that any companies listed there, should, and ought to literally send those candidates into and back into Europe ??? And that South Africans also rebuild their own countries too? Trade is never a given.. stability is always a goal. The reversal has now happened.. and it only took like 10 years... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGx_lRNVTYc

  3976.  @tumblefatboy  : Actually, it is technically not true that... UK only opened up to the Carribean.. because.. who the heck are the people that I see every day then in the streets? I see a lot of Iranians.. Muslims... Blacks from Africa as well... and then, in the city that I live in, I see at least TWO mosques... What I find weird, and odd is that... Despite many of us, being raised as protestants.. and went to church.. how come, the city that I reside in now, ended up with TWO mosques build in the last 10 years.. and THEN... my peers... also definitely married non-Christians.. and even turned herself into a muslim too. At the rationale of their so called Iman. This is the fault of those political parties... EVEN despite many people were NOT muslims... BECAUSE of the arguing.. people CHOSE to BE muslims, out of a lifestyle choice ? She is from Canton. I asked her how come she ended up here. She said that she came via HK? Now.. this should've been picked up a long time ago.. and yet, our Home Office ignored this. Cos they didn't have the competent employees to do this part. And her hubby? I don't even know why... Well... SOME people comes from Malaysia.. and ended up also supporting their muslim way of life as well. Which I find extremely odd as well. Cos most of these people aren't all from Malaysia EITHER !!!! So now... ? Now, there is no bank. Cos they all flooded their Islamic banking, or whatever style of loan sharking, you know the type... into the mosques.. so much so that... WELL... all the banks in the city closed. QED. The end. and in Malaya.. the people were not muslims per se.. they were a form of tribes from indigenous grouping... and it was never that strict of a muslim country before as well.. and it only happened in recent years. Cos this is one of those cases of, if you voice your opinion, then this is seen as an assault. IF you speak, then this is assault. If you do not give money to the mosque (hidden loan shark), then this is an assault... The list goes on? So.. if you say that.. these people are NOT skilled?... I disagree... they are extremely skillful. Just not the desire of the government. And now, they dominate the political tiers.. they dominate the taxi sector. The food sector. The schools. I rest my case. Even now.. they "beg" for donations... oh.. suddenly, they put online a HSBC bank account number. Of course. I am not going to donate! The previous slightly charitable setup, for the so called chinese community as well.. who has their budgets, and their own finances. Absolutely robbed. All donations from local small businesses just disappeared, and nobody is prosecuted or kicked out of the country... And now? Of course, these women shall never "donate back" those donations either. It will fizzle down some kind of family tree... Yeh, another article somewhere supporting Corbyn about how it was great at one point to have "these local communities and then we had a BIG vote and donation"... Well.... some people basically re-robbed back the money. It will be what it is, wouldn't it ? Do I care for politics? Frankly ? No. cos you cannot really police anybody. Economically it has collapsed. Politically it has collapsed. The end. I guess these kind of stories, are never going to be published in the mainstream media, will it? Never. And nobody ever say. And Google, and big tech, is going to call you out for "hate". Well... it is what it is. The end. Diversity? Someone from that diverse group will do first edit first, and retell it in another way. Police? Nobody will care. Life goes on. As long as everyone gets their pension. Then nothing to argue. Everybody agrees. It is still the case that, the social workers, or the local authorities will classify these individuals as "unskilled"... of course they would. The lady can run her own business now, and have sidekicks.. in how to do things... so why would she become an actual unskilled person, just cos she did not do a degree???? Funny how HMRC never catches these people. Or catches or checks these mosques, or whatever.

  3977. As one lady said to me, "YOU were an immigrant ONCE !"... Damn right, I was. Sorry, I don't have those maternal-criminal-unethical worldview. Many lady members were so peeved off that they too stopped donating. lol... It turned from a "help the mommies" group into a "I hate what you did with those money" hatred... Well.. the efforts of many, fizzled away by a few. The end. Justice? There are no justice. And because it appears like a Malaysian town, they hoover up all Malaysian students from local and from afar as well. They all head towards here. For that student job, or for those bit of pocket money. And then the manager would fire the rest of the existing team. Find inconsistencies, and then basically accuse you of a lot of things. and yet, the local council does nothing. The police does nothing. It keeps the university in wages. The students are here. For a 500k city, around a good 20-50k are chinese or from malaysia... They are super aggressive and competitive and everything else. Oh, they also.. there is a big group of Indonesian too. They don't employ locals either.. but everybody knows somebody and they all work there.. or whatever... Rotation etc. Oh, also the Irish-Malaysian doctor helps them with their immigration forms as well... and then argues and files and charges them. Online Life in the UK tests are often cheated and faked... or helped cheated.. so yeh.. the entire supply-chain is there really. With a Home Office.. nobody catches the cheatings of the exams, and the continuous money laundering and harassments? They know somebody that worked int he BBC. Often shouts the racist card.. the list goes on. It is odd how the previous generation of Commonwealthers really are... Really different people. But those people have either migrated into Canada.. or died already. I don't even know who or what these people are. This is the only city that shouts a lot.. or have people shout at you for not speaking mandarin... (And that itself was only a made up language from the PRC and from the UN creation days. I don't even understand.)

  3993.  @CeltonHenderson  : Be good to both your parents, and remember to always write "I love you" to them. And of course.. whether they will have a happy life thereafter, is ALL going to be down to YOUR effort... ;) No pressure. If I were you, I would go into politics... and really try to turn things around. Like.. I think Bill Gates did similar to the UK.. which is to squeeze his portion of the wealth out from the company.. and he secured it as part of the charities. So therefore.. whatever happens to the market, it won't affect him too dearly. So then, his donations... would literally.. help the local economy, in a direct drop shot of money. I think similar thing is happening here in the UK as well. I know that in HK, kids were raised on funds as well... As to the future model... I have no idea. I don't know if the FinTech is meant to take over... or... Cos I don't know whether all countries are meant to follow a similar trajectory to that of Japan. They went into recession for a good 10 years... They crashed in the 1990s.. way before the 2008. IF... you literally finish college.. and then.. consider to work in the sector that literally would get donations from those oligarchs. And be ready. And literally live off grid. By that, I mean, ensure your actual house is sell sufficient. Without extra energy consumption and things like that. Then you would NEVER be worried then. Anything you earn can add to the whole scheme of things. I am admiring this couple... cos they have done what a lot of people have started to do in the UK too. Which is to use their existing bit of savings, and pool together with a larger bank and then build their own house for a couple of years ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22SkAp2KBHI That is what people did, literally. So are there any more commerce? Not really.... If we wanted a ESG... then surely, we would have a circular economy. i.e. What we ship, we turn back into raw materials and recycle it backwards, and it goes into the investment area, and it goes back round again.... but for now, there is a disconnect. A lot of people are now changing their houses to be a sustainable one. If you could achieve that, and then also ask your parents to move back in ! Or maybe have separate units and rooms for their own use ! Never say never... this is like the most unconventional times... nothing is conventional... and anything extra is a bonus.

  4005. You also need to remember that, the English alphabet romanisation of the chinese language of "punti" 本地 and "hakka".... 客家.... So why would the chinese character "客" (guest) be used here ? If the individual is a foreigner to that specific areas? If you watch the old actual movies about imperial times, then you would know that, some cities were gated, and they were closed off, to outsiders. That is appropiate, and it tries to follow Imperial Laws. All laws are applied to the people living inside the city itself. And anybody else is a foreigner. A migrant to the area, and the region. It had always been this way.... So why are people acting like, "because you have the internet, everything can be yours, even if it is owned by somebody else" ??? Why are people fighting to this extreme ??? The words "Punti" and "Hakka"... were the Westerners trying to put some kind of orders, and understanding, in order to do trades. This is why, you would find old documents, with such words in them... Cos to try to "smooth" the feelings after the second world war, this is what took place. Well.. cos you invaded those people, and those people ran off... Well.. this is possibly, why now.. the "national security laws" were enacted in HK as well.... Cos surely, some people are allowed to live on their own land, and their own turfs, right ? Even the house that I live in here in the UK.. (and I class myself as a "punti".. is owned by a Lord.).... and in a way, I am only "renting" the space.. as I live.. and I pay my taxes etc. This is why I need to earn money, to keep living. So when does.. the calm.. will happen for China ? When ?

  4030. When you excessively borrowed above your means.. then yes.. that can happen. Everything happens for a reason. Why not find out what that reason is ? Even the US is the same, if you violated the law, then you need to be punished. Same thing. Somebody was peddling the stupidity of these so called bitcoins.. and actually... bitcoin is not accepted in the UK. It is now pegged against another US dollar in the USA... And yet, SO many "chinese" or "SE Asian nationals" continue to buy these stupid things. Actually.. if you buy it, then it means that you are basically money laundering, WHILE you are on British soil. The British government only recognise it as an asset, but not as a money, or as a finance. They refuse to accept this. So... why do people use this kind of BS ? Each time you are on British land, and you did an action... That action ON British soil.. means that you can be prosecuted based on their laws. Just like.. if I worked in Country A, I pay country A's taxes. If I worked in Country B. I pay B's taxes. Right now.. A LOT... of SE Asians.. coming into the UK, SELLING goods.. and NOT paying taxes !!!!! EVEN when the government MADE it simple FOR them... they still refuse to pay taxes !!!! Well... The Nationality and Border laws are now there. People ARE going to be kicked out soon enough. GOOD riddence !!!!! You work, you file taxes... you pay your due. I bet many SE Asian do not even know that, as long as they hold an American passport, then they need to pay American taxes as well. I bet you that they don't know that they need to do that too ?

INTERNATIONAL ONLINE HANDBAG FISTICUFF !!! WELL !!!!!! ( I am so mad, right now. I've thrown my handbag onto my floor... so what are you going to say about that comment again ?) Are you trying to tell an overseas' "turtle" like me... that China does not need to, should not need to pay taxes, OR pay back their loans ? Is this what you are trying to say to me ? Do I need to write that story online ONCE again.. and tell ALL the world over and over and over again, about how much a stupid 2 G phone costed me around 200 pounds, and THEN..... that equated to around 300, THOUSAND yuan back in 1998 !.... And I am supposed to now feel sorry about this situation !....REALLY ? So yeh, how did Huawei rose to its profit then ? You tell me. A lot of people already KNOW... how much the world traded with China.. and how much arrogance, the chinese people have in general... and they basically sh!t on the rest of us. Have you also read about the flaming story now of Sri Lanka... and that loan from China to Sri Lanka ??? Isn't China now robbing Sri Lanka of their US dollars? Cos they are experiencing an internal bank run ? HOW ? WELL !... Cos people are not buying your goods any more, cos you guys are starting to be dippy annoying ?! (I thought that China had strict internet laws.....)

  4063. You got some of those facts wrong... HK existed even in the Ming dynasty. As well as the Tang dynasty as well. Some of those who are called "fishing people" "hok lo"... Maybe they avoided the wars and infighting on the mainland.. when it did happen... and they fled to the coast to fish for a living. But then again... it can be said that, the original settlers of the "Hua Xia" people, were yellow river people as well. They fished for a living and that is how they survived. Some of the Qing dynasty people were basically siberians and Russians... with some heritages linked to Korean blood lines... This is why there had always been a North and South Divide. There was once upon a time.. a literal line drawn... between North AND South.... What the British did, was that, they tried to reconcile.. the so called "infighting" with many European countries... to "unite" "China"... but in truth... in history.. there never was a single China. Never was. Never did. Just cooperation. Does not mean that you can and should leave your own region or hometown.. or whatever. Because of trade, this is why many English speaking chinese often reside in the East Coastal areas.. all the way down towards HK. HK was not even supposed to be opened up for trade. Cos Britain wanted Shanghai. It never wanted HK. But the people who gave it away... i.e. Qing Emperor... basically forced the British onto the Canton's Pronvicial govenors. Cos it is their enemies' location.... Ironically... the Qing dynasties.. did not know that, the Canton provincial people would work with these Europeans... and literally opened up trades.. and the rest is history. Cos then.. when prosperity came... some of the Fuijian region people seeing that their trades are slowing down, cos the trades have gone down Southward... this is when, they too went Southward and to enter HK as well. And this is whereby numerous fights and infighting took place... I never knew that... some of the scholars are saying that... by right..."HK never had a single legal and political structures". They said that.. there had always been two legal systems in place. HOW is that possible ?????.... Cos if this was the case, then many European banks and companies could not have been dealt with then. And nor, should the World Bank have entered HK to begin with. And the entire existence of USA should not exist then. And if this is right.. then surely.. China needs to cough back up their various loans and materials from abroad then. And skills... and patents.... etc etc etc. IF the NSL is strictly to be implemented... Then ALL of PRC's development over the last 30 years, need to roll back.... Back to the original point.

  4072.  @josephho6315  : That is because China REFUSED to do circular monetary policies. It is like...in the past, the ship trading routes raised the profit level of the country. The Treasury has a lot of money. But instead of reforming asap to catch this situation. The government, and the political structure DELIBERATELY refused to do this. Even when there is like a mega big office of the World Bank INSIDE the country, it STILL CANNOT resolve its own issues ! Why ?! Why ?! So now.. we see... the provincial level state level.. can hold foreign currencies (which is scary in itself)... and then they lend it to the likes of Sri Lanka... HOW THE HECK COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED ! .... So now, a mere "city" within China, their banks, can own an entire "country" outside of PRC. And so they shoved this issue.. into the UN level.. is this or is this not trying to provoke international feelings and cause chaos here??? Even when Britain HAD the Royal Family.. and that they ruled... what the UK did was quickly to create a structure that was fair and it was public... So where is China' responsible reformed exercise then ? When the banking crisis happened in Thailand, in HK, in Japan... surely PRC knows what could possibly happen to their own banks ? So why spend so much money, in building random and loss profit exercises like the trains? And the road system ? I have read now that, the dept of police, or whoever governs the roads, now uses AI to "catch" drivers that is like driving out of line. They automated this fine process. WTF. So this is how they are trying to recooperate their costs... cos they spent.. and now, the standard of living is going to be high for these people... Many Western countries could do this, cos their population is small. So this is why they would have excess money to go round, but however, they structure and restructure the processes, in order to keep the circle of money in going round. i.e. Add local taxes, add local education fees. Create means-tested taxation. Tiered, and structured. etc etc etc. This is what people analyse in the UK at the very least. But what about China ? How come they don't have their act together ?! This situation shouldn't even have happened.. and there is often this "top down" situation as well... and so.. therefore.. people keep doing these half-hearted projects, without thoughts. A life in China is like a life in the circus it seems. Always running around, always on the mobile.. always having to be lectured, or told what to do, depending on which province you happen to live in and what is their goals etc. Chaos often, and always.

  4076. The kind of things that I have experienced because of FB... I would never have imagined in a million million years..... This man has turned into a modern day tech Hitler... and he killed a lot of people. And I mean a lot of people. There are now people who lives on the streets... and there is poverty... and he has tried to create a detached reality? But why ? Why does he want this ? He has no responsibilities? The amount of criminal offences, because of his "decentralised platform across the world".... How many criminal cases has he single handedly enabled? How many smuggling cases, has he endorsed, and managed to let people get away with ? How many ..... illegal immigration? Sales that are illegal as well? Tax avoidances on even second hand goods? How many people did he made poor. Cos he basically allowed non-financially able individuals to "run" a business.. and manage to basically forced brick and mortar stores to close? And caused an actual financial meltdown ? HOW did he not realise what his company has done ? "Selling" advertising? Really? But why ??? So... selling what I typed in one platform.. and then make it resurface again in a book format on Amazon, IS the way to go? Bamboozle me, and assume that I did not think that was correct... and to make me assume that I am experiencing dementia ?! Really !?!!!! If tech was not my first career... I would not have realised how MUCH BS.... I have experienced.... because of his company. So many people, using things that I have typed before.. and to resell back to me? So basically, I am talking to myself ? REALLY ???.....

  4098. I don't think that this magazine was fair to say this kind of thing. And again, it is down to these bureacrats to deal with the actual situation as well ? Reminds me so much of HK's scenario and situation as well. Those who were from the city, as in the indigenous generations, they have been displaced. And now forced to live aboard. Those who lives in those "commercial buildings" are actually migrants, from third world countries. They now occupy entire buildings that no commercial companies would dare to go to ? So yeh.. it is worst than before 1997 ! Rapes, muggings, as well as just basic "chopping with meat cleaver"... Also, a lot of loan shark work as well. And yet, these people literally has a HK ID card too.. To move in and out of the city. And yet... there is now this global fight, about finances.. I mean... It is not even a chinese city. It is just a weird thing. Because the people that moves into the city wants to follow the political and the financial process of their home country ? But not the way that HK operated ? So this excluded them from the actual news, and it excludes them from actually participating in the society AS well !!!!!! Well, same thing in the UK too... from ex commonwealth, but at the very least, people could speak better English, and greater English. And they were taught by the government officials... So.. they knew exactly what to expect. Whereas I cannot imagine HK to be so. Cos it is an exclusive imperial model. This is why fights every day... Not surprising. I wonder if this online journalism ever talks about that, at all.

  4102. If people actually understood how things unfolded, UK itself was not democratic, since the Queen own the land literally. It was created slowly and over time. This is why, when you see the 1997 handover, people were so sad. Sad that, this would or may be ruined, when it was given away. And the people were not wrong. If China, or Central Beijing was literally real, and literally serious about supporting the country. Then a much smoother transition would have happened, even during the past 20 odd years. So why do people not behave this way ??? The North, had always been about Mongolia, and also about Russia. Russia, actually RUNS China... With their communism, and Marxistic ideas. And if it was not for Sun Yat Sen.. who tried to cooperate and to coerce the CCP team... to turn things the other way. Would the country be where it is today ? Anyway, US will decouple with China now. So.. this is the end. Even though, a small section of Canada, esp on the Western side, it used to be owned by the Chinese. (That is, the Northern Hans or other...) And that California.. was also owned by the Chinese as well. So when people talk about this "tech competition". Who raised the gold rush from Cali, to Hong Kong ??? Who were those earlier migrants... the ones who were sent to gold mines in America to dig for gold ??? Look beyond 1900.... and into the 1700s... I think you will find your answers !!! I bet these histories are never taught in HK. The South, was actually its own kingdom. So why should Taiwan, and the South.. be marginalised now ??? Didn't HK's tax or money went up North ? Yes it DID !!! Everybody is taught the opium wars... and now, you can see the entire truth on the internet... No more lies.

  4105.  @condorX2  : Just who are you ? Why are you stalking me online ? And why are you quoting someone else's post here ? Who do you work for, and why do you have a dodgy ID ??? Where do you live ? Do you work for the army ?? This is so rich of you to say that the CCP actually lifted power. Did you think that it was the work of those people who self proclaimed to be CCP members ?? They gazump. i.e. They stole the glory of the real people who worked and saved the country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3zaY3EA-80&t=1940s This is a series of 3 episode. It tells the viewers that, and also from the old articles by actual Xin Hua... That, Mao... claimed communism to be 5 nations. That is Tibet/Uyghur/Mongol/Manchuria/China Proper. So why does the Northern Chinese, have been infiltrated and actually even gone to invade the Southern part of China ?? And in those 3 articles, you will learn that, the manchurias were killed by the invading Russian prisoners... Who let them enter Manchuria and the North East ?? Did Mao do anything then ? The North coerced with the Japanese, and also the Russian. Russian's influence is strong in North China... This is why Mao is obsessed with communism. And he hurt his own people in this kind of fancy ideals. Even under Qing Dynasty... Hans bannermen were killed, and Hans Chinese, were not allowed to be in banners. Also, the only Hans banner which was allowed, was sent down South to kill more Hans chinese, to show "loyalty". And you now tell me this f!cked up story ? Do you think that under so called martial law in Taiwan, those indigenous people, were not from the South ? They are the original Hans chinese !!! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/World_Map_of_Y-DNA_Haplogroups.png Even the modern dna map, which even Beijing has taken part, has allowed us to see who are the real chinese, and who were invaded, and how far that invasion has left in terms of a legacy. The DNA of the Taiwanese aborigines, and the Southern China's DNA old archeological bones, correlate, and it shows that, these people are the real sovereign people, who have lived off their land for centuries. So why should KMT be marginalised ? Why should they kowtow and to give away their heritage, and their language ??? Over to invaders ??? Listen to that show... Mao publically claimed to the Japanese..."if it was not for your work, I would not be in power today, you are the Emperors"..... He kowtowed and dared to be this way ?! Down with the Qing ! Rise with the Ming !!! Even the Premier, someone told me that he is of Korean descent ! So why should Koreans rule Hans chinese ?! In Chinese, People's Republic of China =  中華人民共和國. 共-和-國 = United-Peaceful - Kingdoms.Who were those five kingdoms ? It was Tibet/Uyghur/Manchuria/Mongolia/China Proper !!! So why are those Kingdoms, do not embrace their own language ??? Why is Southern China, not be able to speak Cantonese ?! Why f!cked this up ?! Who gave this "national language" BS, from the push of the West (in terms of the UN) ?! So you are saying that Manchurian language should be the "Hans Chinese" language ?!  UN embraced the real heritage of the old archeological people. Chinese characters were found in old artefacts dating millions of years.. How dare, some modern oik, bastardise this heritage ? And not, the Mongolians are also forced to learn so called Mandarin as well. And even offset and not learn their own actual and real Mongolian language. So many migrants.. That is, those manchurians, moved downwards to other areas like Fuijian, and more.. and CLAIM themselves to be Hans chinese, and use Hakka/Hokkien/Min/Teow Chiu... and CLAIM to be Hans ?! They can F off !!!!!

  4113. Then why don't you think about the framework to begin with? So yes.. he has a second job... but then again.... if you are working for a second party, then where does your salary go into? Shouldn't the flow go round in a circle? So you are the public servant,...as well as the private worker as well... and yes, you may pay taxes... Then, don't the MP look like an authoritarian person in government from the eyes of the poor members of society? Cos 1) they are not the person who has those high salaries. 2) They cannot afford and go along their own lives, because frankly... they are not sitting in those jobs? Right?? So ... are you just "changing the laws, to serve myself" ???? Eh ? Then why even have a political tier ?!!?!..... The problem is also that... the hiring of "good" jobs, often need you to have XYZ qualifications as well. So therefore, the unqualified individuals are often screened out to begin with. So the skilled often goes into the political tier. And then the unskilled, are often left over to do actual manual jobs? So the manual jobs people should and ought to get the government contracts, but oh no.. in recent years, they went to "corporate types".... (So, rather than actually support local family firms, they are left out in the cold?).... So you can see why people are trapped into doing criminal setups, don't you? Only in recent years were the so called "apprenticeships" were emphasized obviously, and in recent years, did the so called "part time"... roles, and that they are now based on a "charity model"... Those info that they have said... is something which I disputed before on LinkedIn, before I was kicked out. So yeh... sure... AI is indeed kicking in somewhat...

  4137. The same can be said in the UK. Cos those who ARE trained.. do not want them to also learn, so that they compete with them as well... so therefore... they would want to secure their own contracts as well.. This is why there is always going to be that divide.. cos frankly.. those individuals don't want to do it ? The best time of the past are gone.. they are gone... And the same can be said as well now.. as families are wealthier.. Similar with the ex-commonwealth generation as well. They would want to keep the profits for their own families, and not necessarily to hire more people to do the work. And in truth.. when we were in the EU... I was reading the mag Monocle... It highlighted a LOT of family businesses.. like, for generations. So.. you can see where this is going, can't you ? Do people really want to integrate ? Not really... Genuinely NOT really. Not especially without some kind of government oversight to monitor that it GETS done.... Cos it doesn't and it won't.... So... And then, there is the social layer types.. the people who has always been actually claiming benefits.. Would not want skilled or scientific jobs really. Not really. I think tha our university is dropping down the knowledge ladder... slowly.... Recently.. in another YT video... about energy.. I did not know that, Germany had almost like 80% of the entire EU's manufacturing ? Looking at their manufacturing sites.. with the heavy energy available. I had no idea.. that this is possibly where I should've gone to when I left uni. I had NO idea ! That single drone video showed me years of being as blind as a bat... I realised why people kept ranting now for ages. Similar with the Northern industrial belts....

  4141. They need to merge the two though, and both of them. So... and shouldn't be "either/or".... So..... This is why many things, doesn't kind of work. So.... Maybe they need to bring some of the actual social media types.. to be on TV ? Like so many station does... so.... And speed up the authorisation a lot faster. That should've happened. Cos this way, they are wading into a lot of HK issues as well. So... And they don't even have an actual..."good and decent editor" even before speech happens. So.... But the thing is, you cannot have around like... a whopping... 800 million..."one man band" though, can you ? Of "citizens' reporters".. This kind of also destroys actual.... economies too. Some insurances are supposed to be protecting citizens.. and if you keep doing things like that, it will violate the situation? Same with so many small situations as well.. from a small situation, blows up into a mega big one. So... you don't even know if it is indeed true or false. How does things get reported or done ? And so many people doesn't even follow a set of protocols either? As in, they report random things. For the UK, you should or supposed to report things which affects you. I now see idiots here in the UK, reporting illegal things as well.. even if they are the criminals, they have their own channels to report things? So what is wrong with this scenario? But they don't feel it though, cos nobody stated that they are the illegal person here in the UK ? So.... and yet, people assume that they are doing this for "laughs". Who says "a person who is illegal in a country, can be a reporter" ? There is no such a thing ! AT ALL !! ....

  4148. HK should not... cos if they need to find a way to debase, then they should. What really should happen is trickle down economics... So if Singaporeans do not move out of Singapore.. and stays there. Then it means that.. when your parents passes away... You can still use those savings.. for another future? And in a way.. if you study the potential model.. of the future... then check other countries. Like Europe. Which is that.. they then use a bond.. and also created mortgage products for around 100 years. 100-200 years. This is the same for Japan too. Yet.. so many Singaporeans are quite arrogant in general.. and make a lot of mistakes too... and risk the entire region also.... You should always keep an eye open for all knock on effects, and create potential paper solution... and activate them if you must. Japan is now doing the right thing in this lock down... those rural housing, that was overleveraged before, and went bankrupt... in this lockdown... cos people moved to the city for work... They now use their savings.. and repopulate back those rural houses again... and decoupled from the "salary man" ethos. The same is happening in the UK. We reduced the commuting.. cos we build the internet infrastructures.. Cos now.. we literally work from home. To reduce the energy costings. People need to know their own options. HK's real estates should have been decoupled from the mainland's.... I cannot believe the amount of debts and leverage that is occurring in the mainland as well.... Unbelievable. There used to be a Canton Bank as well.. is I understand it correctly.. that went under in the last financial crash.... Shouldn't China, or the PRC rebuild back a safety mechanism ???

  4151.  @Mottooftheday  : So you convert your nationality then. Even if you are an "ethnic Rohingya ", then why run away ? Become a fully fled Myanmarian then. And hold this Myanmar citizenship ? I think it is a GOOD idea that, wikipedia is blocked, and that Facebook is ALSO blocked as well in your country. Cos to me... People do not seem to be able to justify themselves... Why are you not entitled to education OR civil service jobs ? Cos in other countries, you DO qualify... and the point is, they "encourage" it... Not that, I did not know already. I already knew it. I knew that I can apply. I think some people do not understand this point of "separation of powers" ??? The problem with today's world is that, you have access to GLOBAL media.. but you fail to recognise your own country's basic needs, for example.. And you are being CONFUSED over.. what you SHOULD do.. in your generation, and IN your lifetime as well. People should not run away for one. And they should indeed ask, or justify, or even be recognised as such. Do you guys have any ID cards in Myanmar ??? Do people automatically gets ID cards? Or papers ? Maybe it is time that this happens then... so you do not go out of the country, and then come back in that easily... or to bring more people in, but without cause ? It worried me a lot that, people are now travelling in, AND out of their country, so easily.... They need to know that this is a restricted action, and lands are now soveign. They need to know that ? How come you guys can speak great English, but doesn't know of such laws, or restrictions and things ??....

  4194. Greece... which he was a finance minister to.... they protested... when they had to take some of the toxic debts from America.... And here we are now.. I realised that, the UK's infrastructure has been actually compromised ? This is why that so called 4G, and 5G thing being peddled about a while back.. about Huawei... Cos their transmitters literally causes our pricing too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp-HMOKyT-o Look at the above link... This tells us where we can and cannot connect to an actual cellular network or not. And where... those areas with a network, is often of a higher price point, if you care to note ? And why the North have always had a less price point as well ? So whatever happened to..."I can pay for what I use" ? This is no longer the case, I don't think ?.... This is why Greece is now saying.. BS as it may sound like.... Cos he knows that we have been compromised, and bearing in mind that we are now watching this video. On youtube. Which is an American company, Owned by Google... And Google being the mobile phone.. as well as some of the cloud platforms as well. If you noticed... they advocate that you put into place, all of these nice little things. That reads the exact detail and usages onto the mobile phone's apps. And then do a direct calculation. Rather than to let your own smart metre which catches any random prices that those 4G or 5G masks seems to be catching... This is what is going on really. I bet !!!... Cos how can you now know... what is what ?.... What this Greek guy is saying is that, it is better now, for you to have a local energy source, than for this global source of energy. e.g. Your usage, goes to your smart metre. Your smart metre sends a signal. It gets caught onto the 4G or 5G masks. The masks go UP to the satelites...!!!... And then back down, onto some stock exchanges or commodities exchange and recalculates !!!! This explains why my bills jumped like, around a whopping... 1k... in one year. I bet that was because the old 2g or 3G was taken down. And then China gained... cos they bought out the offshore masks... and also.. the... 4G masks as well. If we are to have local grids, it needs to use local underground fibre networks !!!!

  4207.  @kennethwayne6857  : That is because the previous generation suffered a lot from diabetes? Cos they were a rice eating nation as well. This is why now... many people in this generation is following the government's guideline to be "aware of diabetes"... They often show this a lot on TV. Same with some chinese TVs as well. They always talk of "the blood sugar effect".... They should diagrams of whether you are hypoglycemic or not.. cos it will cause your eyes to droop or your face looks puffy or whatever. They always talk about this. And then they also show the remedies.. Which is often based on some TCM elements. Some herbs in a soup. Which then, controls or help control... insulin. This is very well known throughout centuries though. Cos the Southern China is mostly a rice producing region. So of course they would pass on this info to the next generation. I would not call this "fat shaming". More like "diabetes education".... With many SE Asians being partially anemic as well.. and have blood circulation issue.. This is even more dangerous... and this is why the consciousness to focus on self help is there. (FYI... not everybody can get healthcare in SE Asia... some state benefits do exist. But most have to buy their own medicines. It is better to prevent, than to have a cure, right?) So.... This is why it is all over the TV, each day, every day. etc etc. Free advice. I've started to take things like quercetin which I can get from H&B whenever my blood sugar is high. I cannot recall what is the equivalent in TCM.

  4214. 這不是當是的事件. 在廣州省, 有很多人講廣州人沒有主權. 沒有邊界. 閩南話 = 普通话. But, you should speak, the language of your ancestors. This is the point. Some people keep saying, "I am from location A, but I speak X." Er... that is because your family invaded, and crossed a boundary line, and smuggled (the word means, to enter into a region, without authority, and illegally), themselves into that region. This is why the "concept" of "race" or of "people's association" does not work in China ! This shows you the actual "family-tree" in China. People are NOT related. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/World_Map_of_Y-DNA_Haplogroups.png No wonder Japan invaded and tried to split the people in China, cos they are absolutely correct, to say that, some regions are NOT the same people, and are NOT the same family. And as you can see, even Singapore and Malaysia are of O3... Not even O2, which is the so called Korean/Manchus.... or what SOME people associate as the real "Hans Chinese". But if you looked at Taiwan, the DNA is O1. The aboriginals of Taiwan, is also O1.. It shows you that, "Modern China", which the map shows today, is actually true and true. It is a country made up of several different family-tree and kingdom. It had always been the case ! If only people kept to their towns, and their borders. Then this is fine. Japan and Korea, control who people marry, and most families know who they can and cannot marry, even just using simple surnames alone. Most people marry their own people... China should no longer "open up". It should not. People need to go back to their own hometowns, and rebuild them, to become more sustainable. Sorry, but they should... Even if you are a worker, just stay somewhere temporarily, sign a contract, and then go back home once you are done. This should have been the way. In order to keep unity in China. (The mongols invaded, and as you can see.... the O3 is prominent... This is during that Yuan Dynasty..... ) Even Siberians now have no say. Can you see how the Siberians/Mongols, especially the ones who looks like a Westerner ? They were descendents of the Finnish people. Janssen is a Finnish name... and HE has been trying to say this kind of BS line, of course... If people do not wake up and smell the coffee... Whose side is he taking ? People in Europe, would NEVER say what he did !!!

  4244.  @ericyuan9718  : These are second generation... Cos they were raised to be "given everything by the government" and never earned, or learned to earn. Whereas my family. We were from HK. And even in those days, the immigration policies were SUPER strict. Someone has to be like your guarantor.. or be used to confirm that you are a decent person etc. It was not as easy as people make things out to be. Cos deportation rates were high. This is how, where I live.. there is a good community going. Cos people employ one another.. and slowly earn their way up, and even donate their money to create and to build schools etc. Those kind of first generation are gone. And even in HK.. because it was part of the Commonwealth, so many descendents, were indirectly taught, what is a society. What is the structure of a civilised society. And what the policies and the laws are. It took around 150 odd years.. to educate the kids, as well as to get people to follow rules... What the hell happened in Fujian ?? Do they not follow laws? Or does the provincial governor do not care? Most Chinese in Britain are pretty self discipline... I mean.. I cannot believe what is happening. I feel so ashamed to be chinese, in all honesty... Horrified even. I get why people say or used to say that, the triads were notorious. In reality, they were derailed and mentally crazy people... In the UK, education is so important. You get educated.. and then that empowers you to do what you like, for the rest of your life. You know how to read, and how to write. You would ask. Why would that couple.. especially that woman, managed to get in the US. Presumably has the money to do so. Only to go ahead and NOT buy food from a shop, but go and catches her own bird ?! For WHAT PURPOSE ?!?!!!! Chi sin...

  4248.  @JohnSmith-i3i  : I had NEVER heard of that before.... so.... and many people, used to set up orphanages, for post-war time. So that the children are not actually starved. But if wars did not happen. Then there is no need for that at all ? All or most of the religious organisation had taken the children in. The remaining children that were born out of wedlocks are also often taken into the local temples. Or those unwanted women.. i.e. mistresses, and are not allowed into people's homes. The entire "kick out of the concubine " thing.. and ended up as... "no excess children" had to happen over time. Just because the provision for taking care of children is there. Does NOT mean that you SHOULD abuse the system? And the whole idea of the "one child" policy as well.. well... what about inter-marrying? Cos in chinese policies and governance, you are locked down to your own hometown as registration. Post Mao's era, you are not supposed to run off away from your own town or villages, without reason... or permits. Cos people own their own land. So if you walk into somebody else's then isn't that trespassing any way ? It is trespassing.. actually. So... Most people travel to visit outwardly married families. Had always been as such and known as such. So... why now, this way? Which creates a form of family division ?... You do not want inbreeding, but at the same time... you do want a child... but... when somebody in your family tree married somebody else, then your position in the tree changes... so... people see the situation inside china, as too simplistic?... Maybe china needs to create a law to be explicit to say "no inbreeding under 3 generation" or whatever.... Just so that, ENGLISH readers KNOW and GETS the point !!!!!!!!

  4256. Why don't they stay at home.. and then actually, those regions promote actual "tourists opportunity abroad".... So.... cos surely, the entire region o f the PRC cannot ALL go abroad, right? And why do they want to go any way ?... It is just another city, of people, with different colours to their faces.... My father used to scold me.. when I wanted to go to a overseas' trip to china.. for my geography lessons. And then, he didn't like it. Whereas my teachers wanted me to do it. He was practically in tears. Cos he knows how poor it was. And yet.. he doesn't want me to have a bad perception of life. Whereas my geography teachers thinks that this is a good thing... He didn't sign the consent form. So I didn't go. He brought me to safety and then I recall my parents fought very very hard over this situation.... They almost divorced !... That was how tough it was.... back then. I didn't know that Xian.. at that time, was under the Jurisdiction of the British at that time. Now I get why. Whereas my father's hometown was from Canton.. and he didn't want any of his child, to violate their own code of conducts that were passed down from generation before. If it was not for economic reasons.. then I don't think that they would have moved overseas' at all ?... But if there is a grand master plan.... that the entire globe is in and on.. Then we are not made aware of this one, at all. So.... I should've listened to my parents, and we should have left, as well.. and gone back to HK. But... so many people wanted us to teach them xyz... and there had been SO much fighting.. and people died... Nobody married anybody etc etc... and... The rest is history... Well.. our family tree is and shall die out. It is as simple as that.

  4310.  @davidjacobs8558  : HK actually had a governing structure, in case you did not know this. Before it was called "Hong Kong".. by the British.. It was called "Sun On" before... And it had an actual dynasty there as well... So it wasn't "Pirates".. per se. It had a Imperial Oyster Farm ... And also an Imperial Sal t farm. The land were farmed, and it was owned by local gentries. Or it had also people who rented from those owners as well. And it had local guards/civil servants etc. It also have been documented in their history books and their annuals.... It was not "nothing".... In the past 150 years. ALL of this, has been turned upsidedown by capitalism. And so called "reform"... and nobody dared to question it.. because.. it means "off with his head"... KMT should've controlled the area... and it should've been part of ROC. And not PRC. Cos the British inherited a piece of land that had Hans Chinese.... But it has then turned into a piece of land, that doesn't have Hans Chinese in there.. but it became a "lawless piece of land"... And because some of the people from other European colonies resided there as well.. it turned the whole place upside down. That is why some Eurasians, especially either Dutch Eurasians or Spanish Eurasians, do not accept themselves as chinese.. or Hans... but they see themselves as "Hong Kongers"... Cos it did also took in a lot of refugees over the years as well. Which PRC now accepts them as "chinese nationals".. even though they themselves doesn't identify as that, at all.

  4312. When American tech companies entered China, China took everything... This is why Yahoo.... opened a unit in China... and then they could see everybody's datas and the info that they talk about and things. Since then... it meant that, they had open access. While every single country in the West.. closed and control their own borders electronically on the internet. China did nothing like that. It kept their "companies be able to view other foreign companies to learn from"... They did not actually lock down the internet. There was a fire wall. And then, they pushed to open gazillion amount of "state-owned enterprises"... to see how they should "grow".... But what happened? They copy every single thing, like for like.. from the outside world. This is how they stole every single thing. And why did people say that, China is the factories of the world ? They did not make those items for foreign countries. They copied foreign countries. And then they lost money. When they lost money.... they tried to entice foreign countries to "invest". They meant, buy their old excess stocks ! Same thing is happening for the SECOND TIME... now .. but with tech !!! A lot of these tech companies, try to then "reverse charge" you... in order to gain back their money. Cos then once if they have hold of your data... and thing.. Then they can make fake transactions.. and then rebuild up their accounts this way. There was a talk about this as well... by an ex-employee of the World Bank... He stated clearly that "the shadow banking of China is huge"..... It means that, they have no actual money... and it is not registered money ? So how is this possible ?

  4326. "China" is made of around at least 120 or whatever "countries".. by European standards. The word "dialect" is a modern made English terminology. Considering that even just under 200 years ago... Many cities across the globe had no electricities.. and that people could not speak or even talk...or even had television. Why do you feel that "Cantonese" is "wrong language within the PRC" ? And yet, so many people call "China" as "China"... and not as "the PRC".... The thing is, even their own internal media does not report and use the terminology "PRC"... Why ? Cos they fear that it would split their powers apart. Right this moment, there is the PRC... and then there is actuall many mini countries, which was never reconciled.. and media papers like SCMP is not helping. Cos it used to be a localised regional paper which covered the actual news. BEfore, originally it was owned by a chinese family... and they reported their angle.. because of globalisation, and because of various other treaties and contracts and promises both at the Eight Nation level as well as the UN level.. such that, even "non-countries" are becoming an actual "country" ?? People just became sheeps... and not even know their own rights? They assume the powers.... THAT is what is going on here. And THAT is why people fight.... Xi did not even entered the borders and boundaries into HK when he visited. Why ? Cos that region is not under his governance.. and yet, papers like the SCMP KEEPS going on about the fact that it IS ? Why ? Because the whole company is actually used to spread misunderstanding, and bad media reportings ??? Or do they just see it as a form of .. it doesn't even hold soveignty ????.... So many people "work in HK".. but yet, they don't see themselves as invading, THAT is the problem today !!!!!!

  4357. Rich your head. You guys are already rich. If it was not for the overseas' trade... and the coastal areas and those people who traded. The mainland, and the North.. would not be prosperous too. It was tea which was traded. And tea leaves are cultivated from the South. It was that, which was bought and sold and drank... across the world... which raised money... to live people off poverty. And today, when I see my ancestral home, being demolished as well.. for what.. to get a high rise tofu building ??... And those permits.. to force and to push the cities into poverty ??? .... From a gold yuan worth around 3 million fabi (法幣). ========== "With a history of over 3000 years, Chinese currency existed in both Ancient and Imperial China. In 1914, the Silver Dollar was established as the official currency of the Republic of China, with copper, fen, and nickel coins being added in the 1930s. During this time silver appreciated in value, and China could no longer retain the silver standard. In 1935, a new currency known as Fǎbì, was issued. Introduction of the Gold Yuan and Chinese Yuan Renminbi The Gold Yuan replaced the Fǎbì in 1948 at a rate of 1 Gold Yuan to 3 million Yuan Fǎbì. That same year, the Yuan Renminbi (often called RMB) was introduced as a way to help stabilize the Communist held areas of mainland China. In 1955, a re-evaluation took place and a new Yuan Renminbi was introduced at a rate of 1 new Yuan to 10,000 old Yuan." ============ It is VERY disgusting, what you guys are doing !!!

  4359.  @lionedheart  : But the thing is, you are judging her... like you judge a person in the west. They have no banks. By marrying, is their way to transfer money from A to B. They don't have a national state's provision ? Either you live in an actual city that has it. (Paid for, and already build by, the previous generation. Or else, you need to advance your family, and keep swapping and trading, between other cities, to bring the money back into your own city. That is how it works. So even though you say that China has exploded, this was true. And is true. That was the mobility, free mobility issue.. and also the sending of their own people abroad to work, and then swapped for money. To send back home. This is what created their wealth to begin with.... )... Now, if they are slowing down, and they are still NOT actually all educated in the "global system and method"... then... to them, they don't mind if they reverted backwards. The question is whether, after this slow down... whether they would revert back to themselves. From what I can see, a lot of people have given up as actual chinese? And many "chinese" are basically global multi-racial individuals already any way ? So.... to many, it matters not, if there is and isn't a race any more inside China. Cos technically, there isn't. A lot of countries already stated by their nationality laws that, if your parents or ancestors are of this land, then you are too. So... don't compare country by country. Technically, many overseas' citizens are chinese.. actually... so... Their great grand parents actually never went back. Not everybody did.

  4362.  @eliasashwood1460  : Scotland gets what they voted for. They wanted to split. So we split. We now, the whole of the UK is split.. in such a way that, it will integrate easily into the so called EU model. This is what they wanted to begin with any way. Right ? And then.. we equalised now... and all of those so called money as well.. that went into their pots.. A lot of people now... I mean.. Ireland is now getting the Ukrainians... and they don't like it. Wow... so funny isn't it ? When things were going up it was fine. But when things are going down, it is now not fine? UK had to close many universities too. In order to save. And a lot of eramus and various amount of money went into the central EU pot as well for distribution. And yet.. we end up with nothing now. So Scotland when they had their own parliaments.. and their own budgets.. then it means that they have to manage the NHS Scotland budget, don't they ? So why ask for more from Westminister? This is no longer anyting to do with the rest of us. You chose that tie. You cut the ties. And anyway, isn't your universities.. truly have a back up plan any way? I would try and merge your universities with your hospitals.. like we had done in England !!! Cos well.. you cannot have everything. And I bet you that, those so called private healthcare people... Also no longer is able to get the staff otherwise either. Whether foreign or otherwise. So find an exit route then for your company..... So weird that, they loved it when the businesses were good.. but refuses to merge their businesses or to sell up.. when things got bad. This is what business is. Have to grow, and have to shrink. To expect this much from a closed and small market is delusional thinking.

  4372. Oh my God... is this why the PRC now censors SO much ? I didn't even know that... they can kick off like that.... But I can see why they are saying and seeing that though. I mean.. if I "felt it".. I can just say.... to my peer group..."It feels like it is, isn't it? The END."... I don't film the damn thing... and blow it up INTERNATIONALLY OF AROUND 8 BILLION PEOPLE... lol..... ~(Oh God....lol....) I don't think that.. I can see why this looks bad as well.... Cos frankly... when you are in a commercial conference show... I mean.. the internet, was never divided up. It is just that, suddenly... Chinese kids and youngsters have access to the BEST mobile phones out there. I still had like a very old 3G mobile til like the last five years... I don't think that, the things that are already written... from different countries that exists online... that they realise, it was like written in... previous year as well ? No wonder.. I once had a chinese student... asked me these questions once.... in the UK... She was a customer... to me... and then she said..."is it... I noticed that there are a lot of English people visiting this one.. but not the other ones as well ?".... So I said to her..."well.. we have always been here anyway ? It has been a long time, we serve all kinds of customers that come through. I said.... Some of the people who comes here.. are locals as well. They live nearby."..... So then I asked her...."how is life in China, where are you from?".... She said that she is also from Shanghai as well... And that, she said that, they are expected to "self invest" and be a lot more "self disciplined".... Watching this video. I think I get what they mean now. I feel that, this is TOO brutal ?... To be honest?.... Cos to us.. in smaller countries.. we have always had the..."farming to financial sector work".... and had discipline. But they are now entering..."suddenly, we have everything".... kind of life. An FT writer... .. Mr Tang.... that was chinese once said.. that..."the market was not opened up yet".... and those marketeers inside the PRC needed a different approach. I can see why now. Yes.. and sure.. there can or it feels injustice.. but it is just a beginning of a market. So if they filmed this. Then would this not actually closed down the actual market? And anyway... I now realised.. and can see why... They wanted overseas' candidates.. Cos we're raised to understand the differences. And why. But I would fear working like this in the PRC. LOL... It will freak me out. LOL.... And judging by the bad things happening to foreigners as well... I think that.... they are also at risk as well too.... Like, some people would literally harm them a lot. I fear for them too.

  4411.  @cyberslim7955  : Well.. it only happened cos HK was like that. So when those so called "elites" assume that this is a "Forever bank"... so they kept building.. So how come there can be this many buildings to begin with? I bet they slowed down on the building IS because they themselves knew that the figures doesn't add up. Cos frankly... why would it add up anyway, right? Instead of offending one another. Are they trying to finish like a set ratio in each province or something, instead of getting themselves whacked? And instead of the central government reforming ? I bet it is that, isn't it ?... And while they have to make such harsh and angry decisions.. are they scapegoating a little bit to the Westerners that are remaining there as well... as most Western companies that were never allowed to fully realise.. where they getting kicked out ?.... Is this why.. some of those so called "corruption" regions.. had to take "deals".. cos they knew that they were not allowed to go over a certain GDP etc ? Is that their regional goals.. but they took the bribe any way? So then internalised the money. And because the money is now SO much.. They also cannot hide it any more? Cos once a decision has been made.. Then this is... like.. a snowball rolling effect ? Is this why then... the likes of Huawei makes those weird "commercial commune", so that their own people, do NOT behave like that.. and one day gets to be released.. to work in the wild country ? lol.... I bet it is, isn't it ?

  4426.  @Tazza81  : Yep. That one was odd. I thought that some of those were ex-Commonwealth people. I assumed that, they are like myself. A friend of a friend was recruited for this, and then she couldn't even do the job, and then she left. I myself, would LOVE to do that job now, if FOUR generation.. does not provide me with info that I need to know, then, when will it provide this actually ???? So in the end, didn't the foreign office, basically opened up those positions... and in order for them to literally recruit people who were from a commonwealth, country, but has no idea or ZERO idea.. about the changes that has happened inside the UK too ? So it ended up in a situation of... a lot of objectiveness.. but not much subjectiveness at all. The situation with the African countries is one. I have also seen some, white Africans now, living in a slum position in South Africa. They themselves have been marginalised now. So how come, they are not taken back home here into the UK? Since majority of the middle classes in Africa is now rich? So their own medics NEED to stay in their own country, to help raise the standard of healthcare ! Their population exploded like another whopping 40%... And yet, these white kids.. are now the bottom tier in S. Africa. A friend of mine who used to be a pilot, saw this, and even he was upset. He is also Cantonese with families from HK like myself too. I cannot believe this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGx_lRNVTYc Look at this now. These Dutch African people, literally is experiencing such hardships as well. I want some of the fruits and the farms, to create an operatives, and buy out those lands. Literally. That is what I would want. I want the Dutch government, and the European government, to bring these people back into the UK, or into Europe. This is enough. I do not want to see another "fake diplomats" any more. I don't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba3E-Ha5Efc

  4428.  @zeeone4492  : Have you not noticed something? It used to be such that, the Conservatives would be to do with financial sectors. And that Labour is to do with manufacturing. And now today, Labour has the lawyer, the Union boss (credit unions backing them), and Rachel Reeves (from BOE).... If these people were not there, I don't think that they would have the accurate TRUE figures. And it is odd that, we are into globalisation.. and yet, these people do not put into place, positions, and things to stop actually.. being damaging to ourselves. (NB: Ok... just skimmed her wiki... I'm sorry, but we are pretty screwed. Really screwed. This is the woman, that was behind HBOS before... who issued shares, and expected people to literally to help the crash. I think my sibling was indeed thrown into this situation... she did buy their shares. And today... People like her... do disgusts me, because it means that, those of us.. who have been here.. and in these lower tiers... have been her minion cushions.... i.e. Our spending, supported HER life. THAT is ultimately what happened.) Wow... she joined the Labour party since she was 16 years old? And then she worked in BOE as well? And then was also hired for the British Embassy? Wow.... I mean.. can you see how... I mean... How much of public money, was thrown on her entire working life ? Presumably, and I hope that she paid her Labour membership fees !!!!! Today... gig economy workers, pay into unions... when they don't even represent the actual company? I find that one odd. Can you see the educational level of the people today in the UK ? I asked one gig economy worker, "why did you protest" ? He said.."cos we are going on strike".... I said.... "but that company that you are with, is in the USA".... So I said..."why are you protesting" ? The man protested. It does nothing. Cos it does not broadcast into international TV. Or into actually the country that the company resides in. As well as... he pays his tiny measley amount of gig economy wage... onto this "union membership". I thought that, this was a joke at first. I thought that the unions existed, because it was based on either nationalised companies, or even like public sector employees. But this man, paid into a deep deep hole. Hmm..... I didn't get it. I don't get it. I really do not get it.

  4460. But a lot of people also had families that helped one another as well.... so... Like, I keep hearing the Italian arguments... and yet, I still recall buying stupid toys from Italy or stickers, which propped them up. Gave away toys from my Christmas pressies.. to those in war torn Romania... (only for those Romanians today, to take a bite back at me)... I have peed into buckets as well.. before.. to garden my mother's council house's garden... too... So that we had veggies. AND we ran an actual take aways as well... And when we did not have food... to sell.. it was the British Indians that sold us those spicy chickens to tie over with.... to keep us going. The amount of insanities.. that came to us.. before... And yet, when my mother, had saw us grown up... she literally then... just... And all of us, worked. Everywhere.... Lots of kids, my age did paper rounds as well.. etc etc etc.... And yeh.. right now.. all of my savings, have gone.. all of my father's pension is gone. Those stupid banks, just outsources it.. and kept somebody else alive, an dnot back to the children who worked hard, and not into their next of kin.. either... THAT is what you get for "being British".... Oh, I get insulted for not speaking manadarin in recent years. Fancy that. So I know, English, French, Spanish, German... had to learn ALL of those in school.. and had to help out at home and in actual family businesses as well... And also to fix any boiler issues... and whatever... to then what.. be insulted by an oik ???? From across the globe? And yet, nobody could save me. My boss insulted me too. Sure.. he could sleep with the woman whose father worked his way up and married into inheritances.... For me. I just want euthanasia... That is it. DONE. I am DONE. Oh, maybe I could open a church, and get "donations"... like most scammers do.... or did... That is how SE Asia rose from the ground. Cos they play against the rules. Any which way.

  4461. Why should it not happen that way ? And also.... If it was not for youtube.. I would not have believed that... things, modern things which we have today is not like that everywhere. I used to think that... everywhere is like it is. But when I even see HK was as traditional in many ways under a mere 40 years. Hands on heart ... a part of me felt that it should not disappear at all. It shouldn't. And yet, so many individuals now.. says that, they wanted it to actually build up... But now, even China... is experiencing the exact same thing too as the USA did. i.e. Plateau'd country. Meaning that, it built up... and then it went back down again. If you really take a step backwards and looked at the entire world.. the entire world is like that. Before... a lot of commentators say that Africa did not wanted to be involved globally. And yet.. because the UN was created, this changed the course of events. Like, every country HAD to "modernise". Er... It does NOT have to modernise. There is another billion people in Africa. India. And in China as well. Many people even in China now.. doesn't want to stay in a house and pay a mortgage and stay there forever. In fact, neither did the Europeans... hence they ran off the the USA ! So... nothing changes really. The same story. I think they need to focus on a sustainable living first... and then anything else is and should be considered as a "luxury" on top. Well.. traditionally, China used to preserve their food. They used sea salts to preserve their food. And then they use logs as wood. In fact... they used "charcoal". They made charcoal.. and a fire that burns all night... and that is how they cooked and survived. And the family size, is obviously based on limitations etc. (And that was even before abortion was a thing... )

  4480.  @frankkobold  : UK do do accurate accounting. It depends on who you are dealing with. Yes, Germany has a set standard, but you also have to remember that, with different types of setups... UK have always cushioned itself. Don't feel like, your way of doing business is always accurate. Just like... why did you guys supported Indian contractors in your IT projects and such-like, but not actually to hire somebody from the UK, or from Europe to deal with these contracts? So, you introduced a kind of, or a semi-form of... slave trade... that is and has ruined the UK itself ?? Do you know WHY.. you created a flock and mass hysterias or people entering into Germany? That is YOUR fault. As someone from HK... I know what Germany have been up to inside the PRC... and if you think that we do not know Accounting, then do you know immigration laws?!!?!.... I will tell you what.. as to WHO does not do accurate accounting. It is those immigrants.. that is left over.. from whatever whatever project, and then those individuals have no money to go back home, and then ends up years living underground in Europe.. and never been found out by immigration officers, or the less... that ends up... creating fraud, just to fit their agendas. That is usually what happens. And despite, with so much high tech and cctvs and whatnots, not to be able to catch them, despite with so much sophistication is a laugh really. We know what this is about really. Nothing has changed. You guys in Germany, still has one strong foot inside the PRC... and you want your cake and to eat it, right ? We know that.

  4495.  @CriticalSurvival0  : This is what "De Fi" has done to the entire world. The globe. The good times are now gone... Cos other countries want their actual middle class as well, and better ratios and things. And if they do that, then we won't get fresh food. One of two things can happen then. Either people actually turn into a commune, an actual closed off country. (Which is a better existence in the UK.) Cos then we would not even use these tech comps and these charges for nothing. Cos UK is not responsible for the global world's finance. If it does not benefit us.. then we won't do it. Cos at the way things are going... Every other country wants to become actual "off shore centres"... but fresh food is now next to nothing. Cos everything is tinned, or preserved. Sorry America... but you are RUINING THE WORLD ! UK was not like that before !!!!! This is so disgusting ! WE FARM IN EUROPE !!!! SOOOO.... disgusting. I got to a small family business, why ? Normally because I want to raise my local community out of poverty. If I was earning, then I would go out to dine. If I was not earning, then I would not go out to dine, cos I cannot afford to do so ? Expecting that, this is "because customers want this", is a very BS line.. and much of an actual "get out clause " ? These days, I am a lot more conscious of the big tech driving people.. rather than people driving their own destinies. People usually cook and open a restaurant, BECAUSE they could not get the office jobs. But when the office people could, walk, talk... and do more.. I mean.. This is when the equality of the country collapses.

  4516. Can't really do all of that... why? Cos of immigration..... and the issue of "little small business".... Well... when little small business owners now dominate the entire UK's GDPs... to an extremely high level... There is nothing left really, but on the road to bankruptcies.. and collapse. I'm skimming the figures... to see if they are correct. 8 million immigrants... Around "Revealed: £82bn in rental properties across UK are occupied by fraudsters and criminals"....(City AM)...... WTH !..... So if people are going to all this trouble, then why didn't they formally register themselves as a proper business to begin with, and not this kind of hodge podge thing? Why didn't they encourage more education and people to become accountants? Why do things this way? With the introduction of actual internet... and the so called social media.. Half these people, probably don't know how to run a business to begin with any way ? And most of them don't have skills or business skills to deal with any situations and scenarios. This explosion of activities.... And CBI is still advocating this... And the generation behind aren't following up either.... What a mess. Even in this video... people are literally talking about a mere sounds like a "sole trader" setup... A case of "I want to do this, but I cannot get out on how to do this" scenario... Huh?? To turn things around, the UK government needs to have at least TWO universities dedicated to businesses... and research. At the very least two, if not more. Maybe like 10. To clean up this mess!

  4527.  @MrMarinus18  : China doesn't accept any unions, is because there is no need to have any any more. Cos they have basically somehow.. and I don't know how... managed to.. create something called "state-owned enterprises" aka "SOEs"... at first, I thought it was like a say provincial level organisation maybe. But then I have seen written articles about even a TV station could be a SOE.. then it dawned on me that, it is equivalent to an actual local provincial company as such. And they call it "state" cos it is tied to the state's. Whether it is a province or a city or whatever it may be. And then, they put these SOEs into their stock exchanges. And if anybody complains, then their share prices goes down ? lol... I find this one odd. lol... SO... I need to get my head around this one. SO... the measurement of work, is not by time, and labour costs. It is by... "how happy you make others"... and "how productive" the organisation really is... And if you match this, then you would get gifts. and money is not transacted to actually be... cos you paid for it, or cos you earned it. Cos it could be often gifted as a corpporate gift instead? Eh ???? Do you see how it just.. doesn't truly work ?? So why would you need a union ? They have different sets of actual groups of people, and organisations and they get paid. Some people sits in like around 2-3 lots of such organisations as well.. whereas others won't. Well, in dense cities like HK, you would find that is pretty common ? So people literally have around 2-3 lots of salaries.

  4535. You don't need the immigrants to do the skilled jobs. When we had the Imperial rule.. and not as decentralised as we are now... and not even retracting the civil service tier from the commonwealth... and that we had things like Her Majesty's Inspectors.. things were FINE. It is the so called "working class" people.... (WHO... by the way... have now become UK's Upper Class..... ) with a big irresponsible outlook and view... via the media... the rat on other migrants and the world. I would be, and is very surprised, if this does not tout international diplomacies to be extremely sour ??? It does make it sour. You now have every other football team.. being an actual mutual of sorts.. and expect every other migrant to be your slave.... I mean.. my father had died already. I am already the third generation.. my nephews the forth generation... and even I don't like what I am seeing. You kind of hope and wish that, with each generation it gets better. Not get worst. You don't want to cry throughout your life time... to see your grand kids frozen to death ! A lot of the media peddle things like... "but you should have a single household to be one working parent etc bringing in an earning etc".... What they have NOT published into the media is.... We now have... say in my family's case... My mother is 1 of 7 kids. My generation is 1 of 4. Our next generation is 1 of 2. FOUR adults are trying to raise TWO kids !!! Now... remind me... HOW is this country "equal" ? I also know families.. some families might have actual businesses back in their grand parents' days... and that they are basically living off the businesses from THEN. I am sure that the central government know of this... and that, they are super selective when doing reporting.... That is why we are screwed up as a country somewhat. In all honesty. You now have in Europe... single families.. that are not just millionaires.. They are multi-millionaires. Whereas.. some of these families.. used to have a business level that was merely around 250k... From the 1970s.. to the 1980s.... I mean. Imagine. And people are not controlling the figures ???!!!....... My bus fare as a child was 10p. Adults were 20p. People now expect me to pay 2 pound. Now, IS this.. genuinely "progress" ?!!?!?! F!cked up inflation somewhere ?! Global marketing gone wrong ?! Paying off infrastructure projects of undersea cables for the internet ?!! The mind boggles ! Globalisation is the death of this country. We died a long time ago.

  4563.  @berocks2  : I didn't realise it's gotten so crazy inside china... But don't spread this kind of hatred to the outside world though, right ? So.... And this explains why single women, bought up to around a sodding... She bought the entire Shenzen ? I now realised why this kind of thing has happened, and why we.. in the West.. has also declined too.. So.... It just makes me want to cry. The good and the bad side to a big chinese family... when the going is good.. it's very good.. but when it is bad... It is super bad... Bad to the point of.... bad, very very bad. This is also why... you would see something like.. a 40 something year old with a 20 something year old as well... One guy that I went on a date with, was as such.. and as so... and I didn't realised that literally.... his dad robbed that woman of her womanhood... At that age... And they didn't grow together either. So.... I didn't realised that, this was so common at that time.. at all... And some people.. especially with a large family.. if a city has an actual large family... that owns the entire city, like South Korea does... and Japan... then.... situations like, younger child, marries older man.. happens, quite a lot ? As in, grand great uncle, marries the niece situation too. lol... Anyway, a lot of chinese now marry westerners.. especially here in the UK too... so.... And they ended up as marrying their different kids... like... I don't want to go on. It's pointless. Everything is pointless. Meanwhile.. the ones who throws out every piece of laws and ettiquettes they survives... I have seen good people.. literally very sad.. They turned super sad because of marriages... Many many of my uni friends... when I saw them with glows in their eyes.. only to... become very sad.. in life.

  4564. It's hard because... things were also cheaper in those days inside China too. So yeh.. if you had an actual foreign job inside China. Then live is a lot easier? So... but they try to compare yourself.. abroad.. (at foreign rates) compared to Chinese rates. That is why this lady.. she is talking about some things, that I don't quite understand.. She said that.. the parents buy insurances and deposit them into the house, since the birth of the child. In a way, that is what a lot of parents DO do ? I know somebody that did that here in the UK too. I didn't know or realises why the mother was SO angry... at the lady.... but in the end, after so much bickerings... and things like that... They tried to get married. It has been such a struggle. I wish I never heard these kind of things. and to be fair. I don't wish to be born chinese in this century, cos it is too tough. If you don't bear a boy. You are dumped. If you do bear a boy. And then... anyway, you're dumped too. Either way, you wil be dumped. lol... It is a matter of dumped before. Or dumped after. This is why... if you know how to read chinese... lol.... There are poems.. inside... about.... love... lol.... It is not really about love, than it is about the woman dying or be killed. They were killed off. So... the beautiful women.. had been historically... been married to. So they pretty ones, either get stolen, raped, or whatever. And then the left over ones, are the uglier ones? So therefore.. since historically and politically, all the nice ones are dead. Well... this is why, in this generation, you don't see the prettier women left inside China. lol.... (This is historically true. lol. ) I kind of knew that from when I was younger... I don't know why I know that. But I did. lol.... This is why... SOME.... or modernisation.. led SOME families.. that had prettier women, they get a lot of financial support continuously, so that they have a future generation and more women from that branch of the family tree. :)

  4569. We are stuck between... the old soveign colonial ties.. and then the modern republic push... neither of which is making the citizens' lives any better. Everyone is very miserable. You know.. if I have never thought about working for the Foreign Office before... boy... after this one. I really want to work in the FCO NOW... If these doctors leave Nigeria.. then how can their babies be raised properly then? Somebody raised THESE doctors when they were babies. So how come, somebody helped raise THEM... only for this generation of youths.. to bite back at us ??? And to even tell us this is what the issues are ! LOL.... A lot of people have a good standard of living in the UK IS because, they gave up their own selfless position. There had been a lot of people who WERE doctors.. they went into the pharmas. Otherwise how would we have generated sector entirely ? And then you have Corbynistas... who flan the flames.. often... and repeatedly... and always... I fell out with my family because of the NHS. We always argue over this. And this is beginning to hurt people throughout. The ones who are negligent, are often "covered up".. and not reprimanded at all? And this is why then.. to cover themselves, they force and push for a private sector model as well.. so that it is not the GMC that prosecutes. As a government unit, but then it is a private company that is being "failed by points". This is why, when you walk around the UK today. See how unhealthy some people are. See how healthy Japanese people are. See how healthy South Koreans are. Even see how healthy the Americans are. See us in the UK... we walk around with bits and bobs CHOPPED off us !!!! Even despite the internet is full of info, on self care, or nutritional advice and how to avoid things... we still get aimed to have mega whopping bits and bobs and policies, that forces us to have our bits taken away. Now, THAT is why the UK has not advanced. Actually. A lot of people wanted to cosmetic surgeries.. they left for South Korea... Even the likes of Yukon Wang ex-World Bank employee covered this angle as well. He stated, why doesn't the US, or the UK export healthcare services. In the UK, we have cut back a lot on our researches.. and this is the end results...

  4599. Wow... is this why suddenly, there is a LOT of actual women, wanting a husband or a foreign husband as well? Cos a LOT of people are literally... not dealing with this issue, at all. These people kind of deserve it really. A lot of people take their entire life time to pay off a mortgage... My mother took like 2-3 generation's wages in order to save to build our house in HK. With me, I am the same too... It took me around like a good 15 years to pay off a house.. In Germany, people take around a good 80-100 years to pay off theirs. Japan similar... 1.5 generation. So, I don't know how come, China is SO arrogant..... They don't just have the one house. They had like 2-3 houses and they kept flipping them.... maybe that does not help the situation.... !!! "Social credit" sounds more like "Credit score" which the UK has... No wonder. These people are super irresponsible. No wonder in HK, people wanted to maintain their Westminster system in place. But the HK SAR government, kept throwing away their money into Shenzen.. and their so called economic loans. No wonder speakers like Yukon Huang... who used to work for World Bank literally is making his round on social media to talk about the bubble issue of China... and why it was so. Don't say that China have not had all the help that it has gotten. Not many countries would have an office from the World Bank sitting in their country always advicing... and mitigating risks.. and here we are.... a mega big big big bubble... And PRC, that is Central Beijing, DARED to loan, from a so called provincial level...(which is debts, basically.. "financial vehicle" just sounded like a "provincial fake bank")... towards the other countries, and take THEIR foreign currency and asset strip them ? HOW DARE THESE PROVINCES DO THAT.... Absolutely despicable. To also think that, once upon a time, those banks had money.. but people literally did not stop building... Cos nobody told them that they were already building houses more than the number of people inside China. I wonder.. I often wonder... Have they lost their minds ?

This is another one of those things as well.. when we "globalised". People acted out in a way which they don't get. And does not even understand ? Let me show you this video.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYtQTQHozi0&lc=UgyuX-onFczO-5P9MMB4AaABAg.A8S1SFPctMaA9IdLw-BFiu I had NO idea that this went on , at all ? So companies tried to buy toxic assets, loaded with debts. (Of another foreign country.) And remember that, you guys used to be not connected to the Western society at all. As in the USA side of things. You only had the Asian Development Bank, as the World Bank. So when China, joined the WTO... they.. which they should NOT have done so...!!! Cos they tried to create a mega "one world"... situation.. and this has resulted in a single building, with X amount of debts, loaded onto it ?.... It just should not happen, and it couldn't happen. Cos you are mixing systems together. The same is happening inside China now, today. They also sent a lot of people to their death ! .... The big four accountancy firms, should NOT have done the audits. Cos they were Investment Banks. You don't use corporate accountancy laws, to audit investment banking... That US video says a lot. It says that "IB were treated like high street banking/retail"..... IB is actually a form of reversal.... and it is often tied to insurances as well. You don't calculate insurance products like you do with consumer credits?.... So.... Credit cards and consumer products and shops and stores, should not be mixed with investment bankings. This is why, today, for you guys, you always use those terms of "this man is worth X"... but in reality, it is paper tigers. You are holding "X debts"...

But the thing is.. these individuals from their own home countries.. even though it was and it is an actual democracy... THEY never kept their own government going... that is the issue here.. I love to know where that young man comes from. And why he assumes that he needs to earn a lot etc etc etc. We don't EARN, full stop. Lots of us, are living hand to mouth at the moment... and we make OTHER countries rich... Even from the Commonwealth countries. The people fought... did they know what they were fighting for ? I bet not. Cos when other retreat back... or doesn't understand politics... they end up without any help at all. It is like.. most people doesn't get what it takes to run a country. We give back as well... SO many countries. .. try and edge.. when they don't need to. It does not matter if Country A earns more than Country B. An apple costs Z in Country A. But it costs in Country B.. Z+ 1... but that 1... is adding the shipping costs. So therefore, BOTH countries ARE equal !!!!.... You have Z. We pay Z. So "how" do people "earn more" ? They do not earn more. We give back the money that we earn, into taxes... and then the taxes turn into schools.... So what do people contribute to this country then ? To work hard? To do WHAT with ??? And the British Pound.. is a SOVEIGN currency ! It means.. it does not and should not exist outside the UK's borders !!!" What are people doing earning that or indirectly creating more out it, outside of the UK ?!..... It makes no sense !

But then again, they accepts it.. Cos they would find ways to get it back. It is bad like that.. but there you go.... Use and abuse... This is the game of capitalism... "India ,Pakistan and Bangladesh" <--- This is also why now... these individuals, cream a lot of people, abroad too ? They literally steal other people's money.. and it also explains why.. so many Indians, and Pakistani... and Bangladeshi people... are sitting in banks as CEOs etc... Above so many other women ... and they control those public sectors' money... and they created things like Islamic finances as well... which is actually a form of high debts... Some people say that, we let this happen because of Pakistan having nuclear weapons.. but others are... Those men, see themselves as above other races' women..... THAT is what is going on !!!... But yet, so many chinese men doesn't see this as an issue... at all... when they work, they don't try to force back a fairer world.. That is always an issue... and many individuals, let this whole thing about "buildings" to control... others... and enslave them. What you are also seeing... is a generation of credit card babies... So.. this is why these tech wars.. and these tech firms... and these technocrats too.. And they control.. those buildings.. .And those CEOs.. also build those offices.. and to switch deals etc.. So.. This is just... I mean... At least some of these rural places, are focused. If anything.. and we are watching this through actual tech products... which, so many Indians.. Filipino Americans... Pakistanis... the list goes on and on and on... Making and brainwashing you all of the time.

  4619.  @danischannel  : It had always been the girl that gets the dowry and not the boy. It is all of these so called "Multi-cultural" messed up a lot of these original cultures and traditions !!!! It is like..."you're chinese, so why are you religious" ?.... (FYI.... the believers of the church, can get access to the Religious Bank.... and others don't. They pay taxes.) So.. I have met ad apples... that literally rob the religioous pot. ALL of it. So then left the genuine "descendents of Jesus"... poor.... and with nothing. And yet, they are chinese !!!!! This is absolute BS ???.... For my family, I don't think many people paid... but I know that, I have actually given a lot of gifts and things to my sister in law, and I .. even as a woman... pay towards those aunties and women who have been good to me. And also offered babysittings to family as well... So.... That is how we raised a family. It is because of communal-sharing.. which.. some people literally rob the entire bank, or an entire business of another family, and watch them crawl. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE HATE. Some people keep saying things like... "but your family is just 3 people"... like hell it is.... I have seen a lot of my aunties, die.. or my mother's peer group.. I watched the declined.. over time... And yeh... there's another idiot that would LOVE to write a story about THAT too. Every time I get a red packet, I give it back to their grand child. Every single time. Til I cannot keep count. I am done ?? So... If people hoard money. This is not my fault. Cos I followed my ethics as much as I could. I don't care about the rest.

  4621.  @远方的家-z9r  : The thing is that, a lot of women, were abandoned as babies.. before.. and they were looked after.. so much, by other wealthier women. So... and the thing is, I don't get why they wouldn't have abortions. At all. So when I read about the latest article about how the USA saved the children... Er... basically, their parents couldn't afford to keep them. Whereas here in the UK, you are under.. the option, or to have the option TO abort... Especially if you know that you don't and cannot afford to keep more babies. After the war, UK's women.. many aborted their child.. til they built up the country again. So migrants today.... they gained, A LOT.. from the other countries having resoueces, and not using it for themselves? So... Think about it like that instead. Instead of thinking about colonialisation.. think about what that country is offering you.. in return... It is so hard to raise a child. It really is. So hard. I know women in my mom's generation really gave away their wealths too.... to the next generation. Cos what else, could you do ? Nothing. What she is saying, is nothing.. really... to what people sacified before. Or at all. So.... This is why in Japan, some women leave their babies at the temples. They do. And then they also leave whatever they could... and then the temple takes in the child and to raise them. This also existed in tier 1 city like HK too. And some of those individuals, went on to have their child. But not everybody is so lucky either though. So... a lot of people are raised without parents. So... They are orphans, cos the one child policy came into force.

  4629.  @draem01  : If a student cannot write a single stroke in a character, what DO you call THAT !!!! Some kids are not even able to speak their own lingo back from their own hometown, and they adopted "mandarin", even when "mandarin" are only for officials if you happen to work for foreign companies, or for the UN, or for the World Bank or something. But oh NO.... This is toooo much !!!! How stupid is that ? And then we have kids here, that brags about "oh, I have a 5G phone... (and you don't!)..." That's right, I don't have a 5G phone cos ass!es like yourself keep making clothes, to the gazillion level... and flooding the market and cheapened it !!! And we keep buying ! Stop your factories then ! When 1.4 billion people, ALL work, AT the same time... I think too many things are produced already, like 200 times over already ! There are sooo many TV shows now showing how the real china is, to the world, and we are shocked. So how come, you can have like a "concubine" system in place? So a 20 year old, can marry a 50 year old, and that is fine ? No wonder when the other world leaders did a mega big campaign.. and then deliberately divorced their wives, and then broadcasted on TV that they are onto their second, and supposed THIRD wives... THIS is the ULTIMATE issue really ! So how come young women do not marry these days then ? So how come, they don't just have a single child and be done with ? We now have wealthy 50 year old, chasing a new child, cos one child policy just broke out ? WTF is this ?! As my mother said.... "just find somebody and not have a child for your age". She is right about that. The world needs to be reduced really. Nothing to it. I don't know what is worst ?? Why isn't PRC act like Taiwan did ? Which was to create big marriage ceremonies in order for their next generation to carry on that baton ? Or to have euthanasia on the cards, so that people can indeed past on their wealths ?

  4632. You cannot keep on blaming the UK for "plundering", many people DID benefitted.. maybe they never shared it WITH you? So.. I am writing on a PC... that is made in China. So when will China STOP overproducing and over-manufacturing then, and outsource some of THOSE works into YOUR country for one? When I was a child in the 1980s.. I wore white tee shirts which says "Made in Pakistan." Or a "Made in Sri Lanka".... SO.... who were those families that sold those t shirts to the UK then? Where is the memo.... and why is THIS not talked about???? Why should the UK continually be kowtowing to the rest of the world ?! Btw, I am British Cantonese !!! It was not ME who plundered you ! I am also ex-Commonwealther too. And I say "NO MORE IMMIGRATION !".... It is not funny... when you see the news like... TWO foreign nationals... One from Poland. One from Africa somewhere. Living in a tiny small house. A HMO. Then because of some random disputes.... The African raised his fear level... (or maybe his killer instincts, I don't know).... and used the beer bottle and smashed the Polish guy in the head. Even his own African friend... cannot believe what he did. The Polish guy, with HIS friend.. did not do anything. He did not hit back. It was the African friend who called the police. Cos he acted out. Now.. is that what you do in Africa? Is it necessary to do that here in the UK? Life is already hard and tough in the UK... the guy just wanted to drink his sorrow away with beer... with his mate. And he got smashed in the head, cos the guy thought that he was going to fight him. People in the UK.. if they have lived here long enough.. they are quite harmless. Cos we fight life. We don't fight each other. If this African came from a DENSE city.. like millions in a tiny place. What and how will he react? He must really feel like... "injustice always"... .. ??? When I read that news story, I cried my guts out. DOES it need to be THIS intense ??? Does it? I don't know if the guy has been deported or not. I bet not. There is more and more and more of these cases each day.

  4633.  @maniesh  : Also.. if you talked to my mother.. she will no doubt tell you the horror stories of how many babies did not survive in her generation. Cot death was high. Either malnutrition (from lack of food) was high. Even when Japan attacked the chinese... even in HK... as well.. the country LOST a lot of people too. Their people died. It took like a good 10-20 years to rebuild Japan. Cos people starved.. and did not have food. Never mind medicine. Can you say the same should happen in African now? In Nigeria ??? We fixed the food problem, but that is only a temporary situation. You need to build on top and on top and on top... I read an article about India.. you guys have similar problems with China too. Over-population... and the media keep saying things like "but people must need to have MORE children now"... That is what their media say. But the Western media reports that, the country is like a 1.4 billion people. I accept this figure to be true. What I bet that most Western media is not dealing with.. is that.. their people are NOT... being fed. Some niche random reports write and states that.. the people are indeed... "starving", and that their old home produce are restricted from sales. Some are even destroyed too, and they keep buying as well from abroad just to balance things out. What the media meant is that, each time people marry or have kids, you would literally have a banquet and then the food supply-chain will keep up as well. There should be indeed a social care system in place in China. To stop the confusion. But this should NOT mean complacencies though. Don't people think about how to go round in another generation ???....

  4649. It is an American terminology, they have both warehouses.. and then "location for packing"... i.e. To fulfill an order. So basically... Amazon can have a packing location business unit, whereby, they can help another small business, to both store their goods... as well as their own packing facilities as well. Say a small mom and pops store. You made something at home. Say 100 units. Then you use Amazon to both sell it (using their websites), as well as (pick, pack, and ship)..... to reach the customers. This is why, they are called "fulfilment centres". Cos inside those locations are stocks that belongs to other companies.... But they must have reached their plateaus.. or that people are starting to resell and resell..... i.e. Company A sells to Comp B... again and again and again.. inside the UK. So.... This is an issue, because, it means it has become 1) fraudulent in some levels, and 2) mis-indirectly self inflate... faster than Bank of England's predicted inflation.... This is why... it is not good to use Amazon this way. I get the impression that they are trying to do "global"..."at a flat rate".... Meaning that, if you send them your goods... You could sell your products, all the way in South America. (But how can that be... and how does that mix with the currency fluctuations? ).... Well... It then means that, this boils down to... bankrupt countries. And failed states. Cos how can these currencies not fluctuate ????? Right ? (My guess is that, this is why those so called "crypto"... is meant to exist... but how does that work, when they work separately??? And not via a single entity to control this???? What a farce!) It spells that... there had been like a global two-tier currency exchange that has gone on for quite sometime.... Otherwise, how could this company exist like this ???....

  4669.  @lvnick915  : There was a news piece recently... about how the Canadian ethnic minorities women' were basically abducted and killed. Similar thing for some Scandinavian countries like Greenland. The women talked of tummy aches.. and then the doctors cheated them.. and helped them add an IUT into their tummy. That basically caused them to continually have miscarriages for at least 10-20 years.... And they never knew of this. Until it was released out in recent years. In the past... when the Dutch Empire shrank.. and then the Dutch were experiencing a losing war. What did their governments did ? They literally... allowed their citizens to reach euthanasia. If they do wish, and then allow their own wealths to be passed onto the next generation. Similar thing... when the old Chinese dynasties.. were being killed here and there. What happened ? It created a legal system that will kill off those who tread outside of the rules and the laws. So how come this did not existed then... when the colonialism that happened in the 1900s.... Cos the British did defend those old Tang Codes... which included theft to be by death penalty. And extra marital affairs to also be dunked in the pig's sty's.... cage to die. (For the woman.) So... I don't get why these kind of things isn't happening now. The same should happen for Indonesia and Vietnam as well.. But that is also lost. Women are stolen.. and abducted. Even though they assume that this was "for a foreign marriage".... They are not aware of what is to come. Whereas other "tribal life" inside the mainland, which the current PRC government literally drew a line on. Which is to create a kind of dance, or group dance... to create a unity... but double check each others' position in society. Every other occasion etc. Their population control was reduced... Their growth was reduced. 1.2. billion for China. Another billion for India... God... If a group of people can remain, without money, to still be around say... 20-30 number of people in a sustainable way, for even 70 years... with the same number of people. That itself is an accorlade really. How do you control population overgrowth ? Either by restriction of resources. Of money. Of food. Of shelter. It is weird that people in India needs money. It will never rise into an actual functioning society. Cos the people did not even sign up for it. They don't have the will power any way ???..... Even in the wild nature... wild animals, tend to keep their tribes.. in the same numbers. Each time it explodes in numbers... it will readjust and kill itself off... That is mother nature. Why do we have 8 billion people ???

  4671. They are not "secret societies"... but really... many were possibly the previous generation's descendents' of the old bankers.. and the old businesses.... And I think that their ethics should stay in all honesty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_qEYIv7gHk&t=18s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOAj_NdpGdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9W5N0y4l04 My father was also bonded to come into the UK to work. So was my grandfather too. And in doing so.. we earned our way.. and we build our own houses, based on our own salaries.. and businesses. And we wouldn't necessarily also...NOT do work. Or indeed do TOO much work. Cos at the end of the day, the rate of what one does... can affect an entire society also too. So why were these "secret" societies... when they were the previous generation's business people and things ???? This is what Europen economists/monitors are saying about the world and china today... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp0IRAW8xL4&list=PLK7qCnafFFJYQEnNVBJTOrlvc3v7i47wc&index=23&t=3967s Somebody said.. that just 30 years ago.. we had 3 billion people. Today.. we have 8 billion. I don't believe it. I really don't ? We now have malnourished people, and malnutrioned people as well. Whereas those bankers.. in those days, kept themselves busy.. rather than to be randomly procreating and create lots of babies... Unlike today. Unlike China.. and the PRC... who has a "daddy with 8 kids".... Loose connections.. and going wild. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc-dJMq9gxM&list=PLK7qCnafFFJYdBCJapnp1xK3cN-2KvFza&index=16&t=1390s And people are still refusing to abort as well. And refusing to build and closed a society down. Even if this meant to keep people apart and not have more children for a mere 5 or 10 years.... Why does Buddhism exists? Why does... Taoism exists? Why does... Hinduism exists ? So a man cannot stop his own urges ? And create a society ? This man cannot even stop saying whatever... Go and run ! Or do what the Dutch did when they realised what they have done... which is to ask for euthanasia !!!!!

  4674.  @maxrebo8455  : That is a lie, and you don't know what the hell you are talking about ! "Dabu County: The Ancestral Place of Lee Kuan Yew and Many Hakka Overseas" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJwkV7MJJH8 Read the comments' section... Do you think that this would have gone ahead, anyway? These are non-Cantonese, but just over the borders in the nearby area. And they expanded into SE Asia.. and then onto the USA as well. And which family or country actually sent money back into HK as well as into those regions to begin with? And then expanded into Malaysia, and into Singapore as well ?? When you have THIS transient an actual city and nation, and that immigration was NOT controlled.... And the only reason why the US dollar was pegged was because of the different wars that the USA was involved in. Second world war, saw a LOT of actual Chinese, that is most probably NOT Hakka... (who tried to make money than they want to fight in wars). It probably was the Cantonese, or the local elites, that ended up going into the USA side (cos they were part of the Imperial dynasties, and army) who then refight backwards. Who died? And saved themselves and who died and lost their family trees ??? The idea of the whole of the "UN" was because "Hakka people went abroad and forced themselves to sit in an actual country" ??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHt6v3yo3KA&list=PLK7qCnafFFJZBwgKhFnwgSJfc6d_WbDDC&index=153 So WHO fought in the war then ????? Why did Xi Jing Ping actually said that, he respected the Flying Tigers, and the Cantonese disporas ?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTgtQ3Fl1jw Today, the so called "4 families" are actual Lords. I think all of them are... and then some were lost... the influx of mainland chinese, and this whole Greater Bay thing, truly lost the entire city as well... Just because some people cannot let go. Ending those family trees mean that you are ending chinese dynasties... which is what is indeed happening. And today, how many Americans are actually Chinese? Around a good 60% I would say. I rest my case. Why wouldn't you enact the NSL otherwise ???

  4681.  @dewittbourchier7169  : I think whoever originally did the english translation, the romanisation from the chinese, whether it was from the cantonese dialect or the fuijian dialect... they literally did just that. But the English writer, must have assumed that the "hakka" and the "punti" were a formal noun, as in a race or something to that effect. But in reality, it just means "migrant" (to this location) and "local". Why they wrote it that way ? Because during the Song dynasties... the Hans Chinese moved downwards to escape from being killed and being taken during warring days.. They went down as far as HK as well. There was a famous stone, with the signs edged onto the stone, with gold powder (yes, classic chinese would use gold. grind it down.. into power form.. and then liquid it and paint it onto wood or onto stones).... They painted the stone to denote "The Emperor's Platform". So their descendents would know that was where he was. In actual fact... they were there.. and in the end, because of marginalisation.. and further fights.. his civil servants killed all their own families... and including the emperor... to stop themselves from being captured. This is an honorable thing to do. This is why, when the Punti - Hakka thing kicked off... the Hakkas were basically Northerners.. and further forced to move further South.. by the then ruling Qing dynasty. i.e. Mongolians. The Hakkas could potentially be from the Jin dynasties.. they were the koreans. Yes, those were the races..... (Chinese, Koreans, Mongolians).... Today, the people whom the post second world war people call them as...."chinese".. but they are not actually. They are most likely to be mongolians. Or mixed-race mongolians... with a bit of koreans or chinese, or even turks... etc etc. (Not including the modern day history of the Europeans entering the trade part...e.g. Armenians. Indians. Persians. Scots. Portugese. Germans. Dutch. ... English. Jews... etc etc etc.) (Oh, also do not forget the other "SE asian trade routes"... which covered the.... inter-mix of the Indonesians.. Malays.... and those tribes as well.)

  4722.  @abyssstrider2547  : Presumably you live in Europe then. Well.. depends on which city you reside. Shop around for your food. Because... where I am in the UK, we can get both the English supermarkets.. as well as the Asian supermarkets, and Indian supermarkets etc. They all do operate with different suppliers. The thing is to find one that YOU are happy with, and stick to that one? I do know that, in Europe now.. there are some SE Asian ones.. which had been overtaken by some listed companies, they bought them out... and then maybe something fell over somewhere, because... Well, they have been changed to a DIFFERENT supplier now. Some of the Chinese names, or SE Asian names... now contains literally "rice grown in Italy".. Even though say the name was from HK, or from Thailand, and it was literally "grown in Thailand rice, brand". This is no longer the case ? SO... be a savvy shopper in Europe.. go to a chinese supermarket, and CHECK all labels.. and ask the cashiers, which one they buy, and WHY they buy this one. And ask them the direct and blunt question "is this rice, grown in the SE Asian areas, or have they changed suppliers behind them?".... I think you will find that they changed suppliers' ... This is the fault of our government in not letting people know when trade has changed etc. And some shipping routes are no longer applicable etc ? I normally buy rice that do not cost me more than say around 4 GBP per kilo... I know that some Japanese rice are pricy, but then they come directly from Japan. Some rice, or most people buy from Vietnam, or Thailand etc. Or some of the US rice, literally mortgage their assets to get a business loan, in order to fetch me those 4 pound mark. Cos otherwise, they will compete themselves out of the market... These are wholesale prices... If consumers, it should indeed go up a little bit as well... But some people, or businesses will rather take the hit, especially if it is a main staple. Because many countries, do see rice as a commodity ? Some would literally raise it higher, for you.. depends on which country you are at. and they add on top of the shipping and currency fluctuations etc. Some people inside China, used to get a bond.. before they would supply to you.... I do not really think that the video-makers literally know, why people feel so precious about "rice". In Imperial times.. not everybody is allowed to eat rice for one. And NOT everybody could get rice. Or buy rice. It is usually harvested in the Southern part of the country, and some were imperial lands... and it was not that long time ago that this happened? Second world war saw through the capitalistic globe.. But bare in mind... many still see it as a precious thing. WW2 was around 1940s....

For their commercial selling and to manipulate you and to cause you loss of life, loss of opportunities and loss of earnings ? No ! You know that eeriness and creepiness starts to sink in when random strangers basically invade in your own civic duties and your private life as well. And HR doesn't do their jobs properly or reprimand these employees in such companies either. If this was in the UK.. if you harassed your colleague in work time in scope and situations that are not related to work is already a prosecutable offence already. Never mind this kind of.... Manipulation. Bring back the typical IT dept. For the average corporation and let them create the internal polices. The so called esg remit is supposed to control and indentify this aspect.. and judging the comments.. you cannot see it, can you ? An "online" space is now classified as "public". So my citizenship is useless online? You know something is not quite right when.... Some idiots of a UK citizen used an American petition sites and that they refuse to use the UK government's provided petition site. And then the issue goes to the UK media circuit and not directly to the UK central government in Westminster to be debated. You know know we lost that "tech fight" already..... I thought that was odd. When the Brexit situation happened and people did not realise which system connects to where..... Facebook is not the country!

They don't necessarily provide info or anything, if it deviates etc as well. People play ball. They don't think "she has that and I don't. Why don't I get that?"... And also.. plus.. people pay taxes as well. So it goes back to the same pot AS well. Every single person does that. It's like, the money keep being put back into the bank etc. Whereas this isn't what happens in China. Somebody makes a little bit of money in location A. Then they run off back home to location B. Even when there are hukuo system in place as well. So if you make money in A then stay in A. Bank with A's bank. But oh no... it goes back to bank B... somewhere very random. And then.. to make the situation worst... when there are no cash or money in that bank. The bank then creates tokens. And the ball roll on and on and on and on.... etc etc etc.... This is how you make a city bankrupt. Like, this didn't happen in the USA.. it did... and everybody said no to China... and now.. China didn't make it a little bit better. It made it even worst. And this time.. it tagged and dragged the rest of the world with it as well.... Small movements, make big waves. And this is what has happened now. So much for that, right ? And the last time I have heard.. is that.. they are going to rob the rural banks... The banks that are liquid.. they're going to take it. Just like how Canton had an actual bank... and they rob the entire bank and forced it to close.. in order to fill their other banks. (HOW is this NOT corruption ?? ) All of this.. to do what ? Buy an expensive luxury handbag ?

And then on the other side... has an advert selling you.... coffee... and then on the other video... is a story of a mega rape story inside china... and then on the other side.. are some computer geeks trying to tell you how to do translations into chinese and how it is made up.... WELL..... If a child is RAISED NORMAL... in this day and in this society, I would be VERY SURPRISED !!!!!! Insecurities are on the rise. Anxiety is on the rise. What ARE people "advertising" ? What are they selling ? Jobs ???? Or telling those without jobs, how much others have jobs and how much they just got paid ? SO this IS still democracies ? It is STILL a researchable democracies ??? The first time that I had some chinese proverbs removed from my FB account.. I knew that something was up then. I am British Cantonese.. and I wanted to share that with my immediate networks... and not to the GLOBAL WORLD !!!!! How the heck did I know that, FB was a GLOBAL NETWORK PLATFORM OF AROUND A 4 BILLION EXPOSURES OF THE GLOBE ? I had no idea that, this WAS HOW IT IS !..... I just thought that, I would and could share with some of my chinese friends in my network.. as we spoke about it from our offline life !!!.... MORAL SUPPORT is accepted as what.... "online terrorism" !?!?!?!...... I didn't even have a modern sodding 5G mobile phone til in recent years !!! That's like the last FIVE years !!! Absolutely diabolical. Absolutely chi sin. And now... Battle Royale has genuinely kicked in.....

  4836.  @Dwightstjohn-fo8ki  : That is not what "tongs" are for. Tong stands for a "Hall". And normally, it is used inside China... cos it is a "community hall". And that is also the case, cos it is actually part of the family or relatives etc. So, why would the "Tongs" actually be a part of this setup today? Do you know what I mean ? I have seen some YT videos on this, and do not truly believe it. Some of the Tongs.. ended up helping the families get back home, and those only truly existed in shipping cities. So Van has this as well? But from which region? HK doesn't have these tongs.. since, well.. the UK government took care of the people whom they helped. And the other shippers, has zero nothing to do with the rest of us. So yeh.. there was indeed an actual chinatown... but I am not too certain, and believe that, anybody else, subsequently have a right to those Tongs, or those Chinatowns ? Cos you were not those people who worked there? So why should you takeover something that belonged to somebody else, right? These people needs to get their facts straights, before they ruin other people's lives as well. One of the cases that I know quite well as well in the UK... Cos it was where my grandfather worked. And I asked my mother this question. That is where your grandfather's "chi tong", but that she meant, "this is where he worked". But the place, actually, was opened by a mixed-race American, as well as with an actual local British guy as well. It was his money, and then they found people to work there. And this place boomed. Only because Britain did have a Commonwealth, and people go there, only because they assumed that they are not allowed anywhere else? Cos you cannot own land rights, or property rights, for a long while. There was deportation as well... I don't know the background to regions like Liverpool, or why there is a "Chinatown" ... That business is kind of sold on, I think, and in the end, it didn't last like 3 generation any more. People paid taxes, and then that is how an area grow. But I don't think people stayed there in the end, and when the Commonwealth was no more either. So most of the next generation kids, knows that you have to make choices. Which way to go? So... It is funny that you say this, cos even in the USA.. you have those "campuses" that the Silicon Valley has. And they call them "townhalls". Where people gather, and have a chat about what is happening to 1) the company, 2) the community, or 3) projects. To be honest, I think you genuinely need to read between the lines a lot more, and look into this. Cos even from those colonial days.. the word "Tong" is also used as a branding label now. I can see that a lot in SE Asia.. in general. Some kind of cough syrup label. Those might have been the original shipping processes, but then factories open, and those halls are closed, and the people you hire are no longer relatives. Or your communities any more. If this is current day Public Security Bureaus.. well.. that is a different kind of fish, and you need to figure that out. Don't drag innocent people into this. If Fuijianese were never allowed to live like those who did or was from HK... then.. those are and WERE two different sets of LAWS.. at that time. In English, everybody uses the word "chinese".. but WHO were WHO.. is important.. imho. Unless you are also from Singapore, and Malaysia.. and kind of trying to retrospectively go back and assume that those laws apply to you as well..

  4848. This is one of those classic examples of.... people's datas being stolen away from them. Cos how could such companies suddenly appear? Cos these kind of things, already happen.. and so many so called SEOs... and marketing technologies, basically scrapped people's phones.. people's datas... and people's intimate calls... so much so that... now the advertising sector is dominating. And people are basically dead. They died. In this lockdown, people going online, they could see face to face... their real enemy online. They know who they are. They know exactly what they did, and why they did it. And is this now not why... suddenly, across the entire country, there are "sudden events" happening here, or there? These "Media" people, always try and make "events" in different cities.. and then they promote films and things like that... the entire service sector media/movies/documentaries... are into the billions... That is why most cities are now dead as a dodo. Totally dead. Offices are dead. Everything is automated. Most are foreign companies abroad, and those datas are not divided based on countries? Some are basically violating data laws as well ? They don't care. These people do not care. I saw.. my hometown, from being an actual vibrant city, to a dead town, under a mere 5 years. It went dead. Dead, because.. people played evil games... dead, because people doxxed them. They died. Stalked online. And acted in unethical ways. Used unethical AIs. And then find them and just basically killed them off. Isn't this why.. the likes of Iceland boomed? They froze everything, and then the media blamed that it was related to brexit.. and the supply-chains and things like that... The average joe, does not know what literally happened? And why now, we have a generation of children, starving, and malnourished... cos why? These "disruptors" took away their food? Also, where my city is now.. it is a foreign town, cos influx of chinese students came in.. and then Tesco (with their joint ventures and everything and facial recognition technologies and financial IDs), they dominated the entire supermarket chain. Oh, also, now chinese supermarkets in a tiny 500k city, has around 10 odd super markets that are chinese too. Which would not have happened at all, ever. And of course, online British media is NOT taking notice, and do not frankly care about that either. Cos how could you? Report of racism ? Let me illustrate one example.... Farmer > Restaurant > Delivery App/Marketing Company > Customer. 1 pound > 3 pound > 1.5 pound > Total 5.5 pound. The work, and the hours for the farmers to pick, and then for the chefs to cook. They are hard work, and many are not mass produced. One company, from China... they were doing both. They were both taking money from their subscribers, as well as actually reducing the price of their clients and their stocks? So... was this company filing their taxes to HMRCs? I don't think that they were.... Cos it is all "done electronically". What... even when the sales is literally MADE in the United Kingdom? Services and goods sold in the UK, but they do not pay UK taxes??? When did they think this? So the transaction is through UK lines, and UK telecoms and things like that, and you STILL argue that the service sold, should NOT be literally recognised in that country that you sold it in? So you just broke the basic accountancy laws, and that you think it is "ok"???

  4863.  @kiliang96  : That's really lucky for you guys in Spain.... cos you also have the larger farms too, and is an agricultural country. Whereas everything has been lost here in the UK in general. We have an mega BIG manufacturing sector.. and because of this, even basic "farm to table" no longer exists. And there are so many chains here in the UK. And those chains are not necessarily good either. You can be paying around like a mega whopping 20-30 pounds, for like a burnt dried up burger. This is not a joke, and people still have to be polite, and thank the chef to do this. This is because UK is still linked to that capitalistic relationship with the USA as well. This is why it is so sh!tty here in the UK.... People now rather go to a "food bank", than to actually eat fresh. And there is also a monopoly as well online. Meaning, social media/marketing companies have played that currency fluctuation play... this is why Adam's channel here is masking you the truths and is basically lying.... Frankly. Cos they take an actual cut of that profit ? So now we have a whopping... Farm > MARKETING COMPANY > Restaurant > Customer. That ratio is beginning to hit around : 30% : 40-50% : 20 % !!!!! In this lockdown, a lot of families turned to tinned food items. And somebody has created these independent "small supermarkets" without proper licensings... and are selling them as a charity basis, with some kind of club membership as well. THIS kind of model was NOT heard of in the 1980s !!!! THIS is bureacracy at play ! It is the regulation that is stopping people from being alive, and is basically are actually..... being fed. This is why so many people are SO angry here right now. Even I am too. During the lockdown, some people also flipped food as well. Meaning, they make up these small supply-chain position, and squeezed themselves to become an actual chain in the process when they are not even licensed to be so. I don't even know why Adam can dare to speak and answer with those answers that he did.... Absolutely diabolical ! Some people also hoarded food as well during lockdown. Supermarkets had to actually control. And to stop people from wiping an entire shelf for resell purposes during the first lockdown... And then you could see them resurfaced on the likes of Deliveroo ? I was so shocked. Cos they are illegal to be sold on such apps. And those apps have no license to operate as a supermarket ?

  4872.  @YukitoOnline  : UK did as much as it could.. but if you see the situation, who lived in HK at that time? It was fine before 1997... Britain contained the area.. under their ruling powers. The people who transitted and lived there were.... 1) Dutch commonwealth disporas. 2) Armenians-Jewish. 3) Macanese/Europeans/Indonesians 4) Scots. 5) Dutch-Cantonese 6) Cantonese 7) Hakka (From Fuijian.) (From nearby Canton.) (From Singapore. From Malaysia.) They moved back, cos it wasn't meant to be the port for them to tranport with, but they used it in the end anyway. 8) British-Indians. 9) Vietnamese. (They were part of the older Cantonese, and Song dynasty's kingdom.) 10) Thais. (Li Kwan Yu and then those Hakka moved to Thailand, and then back round to HK? Why?) 11) Catholic Filipinos... Catholics.. Indonesian, and Spanish-ex-colony's Spainish King's descendents. Transiting back and forth between HK and Philippines, and then onto the USA as well etc etc. The reason why it is "not an international city" any more.. is not because of European money. The question is, why are SE Asians... especially the way that they view those European banks, as part and as an extension of their lives. And not that it is soveign money of other countries. But that they are the Imperial elites ??? That is what you should be asking. Some people assumed that cos it was a "Trading Port", that the banking, is always going to be "merchant banking".. aka "Credit Card" style investments. No wonder the European countries collapsed. And that American banking also collapsed, and deregulated as well ????

  4873.  @abbofun9022  : It is not that democratic in the EU. Cos when you see the figures, some countries literally live, breathe for another member only, and they are some kind of satelite town/country. And their taxes aren't high either. So they do without many things. There is another actual video somewhere which summed up the UK... which is not something that I thought about, which is true. Whereas in Germany, I think it was... they spent on building big cities, and increase their infrastructures in big cities only. And most people commute into big cities to work and live etc. But the reverse is true in the UK. Money is also spent on uplifting the rural and the smaller cities and towns too. Cos people tend to move in and out. So then they don't feel left out. Because they don't feel left out, they are a lot more productive as well. You need to remember. Skills are then transferred as well. People do not feel like "I live in the rural farm lands, I don't have the internet. Or won't be able to get the internet." But it's not like that. Everybody gets it. Whether it costs somebody more or less money etc. It is spread out. The opportunities are more spread out as well. That kind of model is what happened for Germany. The West and East side. Both sides have a kind of marginalised standard of living. Similar to Korea as well. North versus South. This is why.. the cost of living crisis that the UK is experience, is now supposedly help people to actually reverse things. If they have lived in expensive London before, then work from home and work remote for 3 days. Reduce overheads. This does help things. We used to have mostly HQ in London... but most people commuted, and nobody couldn't get a train to work in London. And when the cost of living is not good... Those HQs normally split evenly and they split an expensive location into two or three location across the entire UK ! That was how things used to be. I think with remote now, similar thing is happening too. "Work from any remote office"... kind of setup. So this might actually allow people to save a larger chunk of money for themselves. It's always about reducing inequalities... and future outcomes.

  4875. You won't ever get that style at all... and even in those countries, they are also forever changing too. Cos you're talking about, moving an actual country with humidities.. and near the equator's.. into the Northern Europe... That is just not possible imho. And anyway, a lot of people don't really actually want it to be as so ? ..... (I noticed she placed a dolly noodle into that dish.) lol.... That was originally created in Taiwan.. and then also Japan has their own version too. And that itself was sold across SE Asia... as the US dollar rose.. and trade and transportation was a lot smoother. I know that the good farmers and the farms in the UK tried their very very best to produce greeneries with pak choi or chinese leaves. Which so many suppliers ended up producing. I am not too sure.. about these herbs from thailand at all. One of the thing like LKK's oyster sauces... I realised why it is missing. Cos the fermentation process in the heat and the degradation rate... literally helps the sauce gives its own tastes. Unless we actually create a proper "fermentation machine" in the UK. Which we don't have and can't do... I realised why America's LKK's oyster sauce's production is somewhat lacking ? I don't even buy it any more, despite the fact that it can exist in the likes of Tesco. And that they stock it. It reduces the tastes. And this forced the local suppliers in HK or makers to stop their production as well. Which is a shame. What should really have happened to those specific sauces, is if they produced the great oysters and shipped it into HK or somewhere hot.. and let them ferment... and then sold the larger tubs or flasks into specific country and let them distribute and to contain them etc. THAT should've been what happens instead... rather than to prepack them and sell them as individual bottles. Or basically bond the oyster sauces... like we used to do with wines.

  4891. If people genuinely wants to stay in this country... and do those things. Then it means, stopping people coming in... and those who are not skilled, to speed up with trainings that, is on PAR with commercial level skills. Cos nobody is going to train you, and waste the number of years of pay ON you. Most of us who knows this and has been through this, would KNOW this. And those who never DID trained, and they never did those researches. They will grab onto those power seats, and won't let go. And instead, will literally past that wealth onto their own kids, instead of you. The thing with the UK is that, those of the past generation, they have literally poured their money and invested into our universities as a donation... Why? Cos THEIR companies, have already LOCKED down the patents ! So it is no longer the fact that we CAN actually raise a company on the international level to FIGHT them.... we can only create solutions for ourselves TO survive! I think those who literally has not been hired into large corporations, don't know how these companies would do business... IF we trained our people... THEN maybe they can transfer some of their business units, into the UK... why? Cos our pound is so so so so low... and only then... (if we mimick Japan's model for a long time)... will these companies move here.. and use our skills and we get paid. In truth, we can only create a circular economy.. than to compete internationally, especially now that those countries, are holding onto those money, and of those transferred money onto them.... and we don't see that it will return any time soon.

And exist in their actual "metaverse"... Cos frankly... there is nobody to be the citizens.. and be inside the metaverses... Basically. Cos the rest of us are not trained. So yeh.. either way out... we lose out. Cos we are not involved in that ecosystem. The end. Can the UK or the EU exist or have DUAL-SOCIETY going on? The answer is a good "no".... actually. This exists inside China though. The PRC has many systems within a systems... and people were okay before.. but because PRC joined the WTO.. it tried to reconcile and forces people to be together.. and the internal struggles now exists... and why FB is ready to capture every sodding thing... to film it.. and to sell it... without any contexts or understandings... Even their own internal "media" people... (are they really media, or are they imperial guards?).... Chaos. Absolute chaos. Why are there SO many "tech societies/communes" that exists across the entire globe ? So, let's see who is doing ok. 1 - Apple campuses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzcfZyEhOoI&t=232s 2 - Google campuses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-pT0XDYvDM&t=266s 3 - Facebook campuses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1fbuOkxugs&t=213s 4 - Amazon campuses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk3thX_pb5k&t=74s 5 - Tesla campuses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv1mFAMz0PE 6 - Huawei campuses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_nJWCtivPc&t=3s 7 - Microsoft campuses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FonP0Cr2eFE Like Noah's Ark.. these people shall be okay and fine.... regardless if society collapses...

So flooding California with chinese tech grads and forcing there to be no "society" and "no countries" IS the way to go ?? Is it ????? "When Firms Become Persons and Persons Become Firms" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHvGsKXqL8s&t=2260s I have done that before, and that was weird... I couldn't do it. I was working for money. And that, I was working for money, for my family. But yet, I have to accept the "family" as my colleagues. But in the UK, we don't have this kind of laws. Work is work. And you are regulated. Family is family and your private life is your private life. There are even laws that prosecutes you if you disturbed somebody socially on the streets. ASBO... it's called.... "Anti-social behavioural disorder"... THIS is a real law in the UK. ALL of these different set of laws, from different countries, are not even embedded into the virtual world. Or the online world. He has not even created this "online world to be the same as the offline world" online..... HOW can he really do this so that it works? FB cannot do it. And nor could the PRC do the same with theirs either ! They never did that ! It was never achieved !

  4908. To me ... this does not look like "censorships"... this looks like..."chinese media... or "controllers" " at work here.. I bet that, these individuals get paid or something. Cos those apps.. you see those apps... and streaming? They are making LOTS of money from THIS..... Even I bet.... that there are actual.... some kind of setup... and business to do these kind of things. What is "KOL"...??? Cos we don't have that in the UK. Either you are doing movies. Either TV. Either adverts. There are no confusion over all of this. All of it, is regulated..... So how come these individuals are not regulated ??.... I once experienced this kind of harassments.. like.. an oversea students... was kind of chasing me with his cameras.. I was like... WTF is this ? I didn't think that he was staring at me... And then I took a side step... and then hide behind the bus stop's pole. So he cannot see me. Cos he was a bit eerie. And then he took another side step to look at me. I don't know whether it was because of my purple trousers or not. But he kept doing that for a bit... Like very very weird and odd ? Lol.... After a while. As I got annoyed.. and I don't even recognise him or anything. I walked to another stop. I don't know if he will attack me or not. So I ignored him. Normally... many of the local chinese I know. I say hello etc. These days.. I don't any more. Cos it feels so freaky ? Esp after I got attacked. Quite a number of times as well... and by women as well.. being provoked by these individuals... The local police does nothing. ZERO NOTHING. Cos they also bring in revenues as well. And I consider myself to be British Cantonese ? I also stayed away from the weirdo UK groups... cos they liase with those individuals as well..... The entire city is dominated by those individuals. Lots of them. (One lady admitted that she has relatives in the PLA etc too..... WTH...)

  4914.  @timetraveller2300  : If you translated or read the chinese, in different tones... about the language, then you know would know Cantonese is called "a language".... in Chinese. "usually call their language 廣東話; Gwóngdūngwá; 'Guangdong speech' [kʷɔ̌ːŋ tʊ́ŋ wǎː]. In Guangdong and Guangxi, people also use the terms 粵語; Yuhtyúh; 'Yue language' [jỳt jy̬ː] and 白話; baahkwá [pàːk wǎː]; for example, an expression like 南寧白話; Nàahmnìhng baahkwá means 'Hundred-Yue speech of Nanning'." Wiki stated that. And in a way, it is correct, because we call it " 廣東話" direct from when the British owned HK. So it became known as "Cantonese"... but however.... It had always been "粵語"... The "Yue Language".... It is stated as "語".. which is a "language".... whereas "話" is the speech. In Guangxi, they call it "Yue Language"... and it should or ought to be same or similar as the Yue in HK as well. The difference between the two location is because in HK, it has the english loan words added to the Yue language as well. So therefore, the locals called it "Cantonese". Now do you get it ??? There are other "languages" inside China as well: 吳語 (Wu language) aka 上海話 (Shanghai speech). 閩語 (Min language) aka 潮汕話 (Chiu Chow/Fuijian speech). Or 咱人話 / 咱儂話. 湘語 (Xiang or Hsiang language) aka 湖南話 (Hunan speech.) 粵語 (Yue language) aka 廣東話 (Cantonese speech). If you noticed, when people are supposed to speak "Putonghua" .... which is "普通話".... aka "Common Communication Speech". In Taiwan (whereby they speak a lot of Hakka/Min group languages, they call it "國語"... (Because Taiwan had already created their mini "Nation"... that is why they refer their Min Nam/Hakka version as the national version. However, this isn't so in all the other regions.) ======= "Among Chinese people, Hànyǔ (漢語; 汉语) or the "Sinitic languages" refer to all language varieties of the Han people. Zhōngwén (中文)[26] or the "Chinese written language", refers to all written languages of Chinese (Sinitic). However, gradually these two terms have been reappropriated to exclusively refer to one particular Sinitic language, the Standard Northern Mandarin, a.k.a. Standard Chinese. This imprecise usage would lead to situations in areas such as Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore as follows" The other thing is, 漢語 (Hans language) is the term to describe the entire collection of chinese languages using the written Hans character set, both the speaking and the writing. 中文 - Is the term to describe the written Hans Language. So you could say that 中文 = "written Hans Language"..... In the past, it was the Fuijianese/Hakka speakers, especially from Singapore of from Taiwan or Malaysia, who was especially from Fuijian that stated that it was "standard chinese". Only because, when Singapore was actually created, they created their own internal language as well. To denote their own language. But this is not what it is called inside the PRC though. And it is very rude for such individuals to continue to spread this kind of rumour, and not to claim the differences in between ? Cos they split off their country and formed their own budgets, and such likes. So....

  4915.  @timetraveller2300  : I am a chinese descendent, and is more chinese, than you are chinese. This is the problem though... and you don't realise this aspect of yourself... whereas other countries have quickly moved forward because they sacrificed. Did you sacrificed? No, you didn't... and because nobody sacrificed... people are arrogant. Whereas my ancestors sacrificed as well. We worked abroad, and swapped for money, and we sent those money back home. So as to uplift your living standards... what did you sacrifice today ? What did you do ??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTgtQ3Fl1jw&t=16s This is what has been said.. in San Franciso recently... whereby it had a lot of Cantonese that moved there during the last gold rush and things like that. Even my family, similar, but we came to the UK... creating a stability and world peace after that. You guys in Singapore and Malaysia, has NO SAY... in how you run HK.. and has NO SAY... in how Cantonese can and cannot do... Cos we gave back. Right to that same spot. So you don't get to go and break up those relationships as well. And don't assume that you could also stuff those money, into your own personal pockets either !!! And DO NOT ... assume that it was "Singapore's money"... that made HK as well.. Cos it has ALL been documented !!!!!! CAN Insider have published a LOT.... recently !!! So therefore, their words, discredit those individuals' personal voices.. as in those arrogant ones that often say..."WE MADE YOU"... That is BS. You made NOTHING. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqRJYOrlKqE&t=1088s Now that CNA Insider published that "blackmail moment" in British history.. which made itself, what it is today... And then Singapore slyly edged to connect with China, with the PRC... and arrogantly.. discredit the disporas from oversea's as well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVcpZsem_lw&list=PLK7qCnafFFJb4XxCU_5gP5uuRbp2u_gQa&index=47 Remittances that went back from the US into HK and into China.. indirectly uplifting its situation, and moved it away from hyperinflation, as the continuous war and infighting that went on inside the PRC... And affecting the currency's markets and rates, and without actual control... And made people in an even worst state. Don't you think that we know ? Even Xi... is now.. ready to be cordial.. cos he doesn't know who is friend, and who is foe. And yes, even the inside the PRC... many individuals are super mad too. They're made alright.

  4923.  @RainFS1  : First of all.. it is untrue that, people cannot own land inside China. They can. They can, especially if they were the descendents of the imperial civil servants of the past. They can own those lands, and they can live on those lands. When "developers" buy a piece of land and then to develop on, then this is different. The thing with the PRC is that, there were areas whereby it isn't as such.. so "communism" means to reconcile all regions to be communal.. or the same focus. But how is this possible? Some areas have people living on there that they have paid off in the past generations, and worked to pay them off already. Whereas some people have extra children.. or grandchildren.. and want an actual house for them.. So what do they do? They sell their extra lands, in order to swap a percentage for the developers to develop on. In the past... people work... and then their salaries basically buy the building materials ! Nothing was free. It's a straight swap. Swapping money or swapping food for resources. How did you think people's wooden houses actually get created? And why some people lived in shanty towns ? Craftsman are the people who learnt a trade to build houses or monuments... But what about the areas that didn't have such craftsman ??.... Do you see how the revolution, "out with the olden style".. and "in with the new styles" kind of caused a future.. chaos ???... Look at some of the older videos.. and you will see old housing... and begin to see why, or what. It's just.. always a case of.. "too much too soon, too fast."

  4953.  @joesmith3590  : Exactly. Most Asian companies used "old" technologies... but those "old" technologies, were considered and designed in such a way, that does not conflict with other electrical equipments. Rather than to actually lock them down so that it does not. Huawei... that company loves to interfere and deal with military things. This is how hostile... it makes the world ? Now.. with more planes in the air. I find it funny that.. Chinese media.. does NOT put down.. their own companies inside the PRC... when failures DO happen. They don't report such things? And they don't even write pieces to slate them? Why? Cos they are afraid that, it appears libel.. or that it appears like... they would be out of a job. So then, this all boils down to actual..."journalism and reporting"... With so many companies also controlling the internet too. Exploding batteries does not happen any more. I mean, they don't report this any more, when they should report it. THAT is how dangerous the world has become now.... Remember exploding batteries,or exploding laptops ? Sometimes I think to myself.. did somebody from their competitor company, paid off somebody to mess around with those mobile phones, and then take a video.. and then sell it to advertising agencies to stop them. I bet this is also why that shift changed.... From Samsung's exploding factories.. or the removal of all of the old Japanese mobile phones.... (No wonder Japan, and Samsung has no more patience.. for China any more...) It is bad. Very bad.

  4956.  @cancanjaker1620  : You have to remember that, UK is a kind of closed loop society. Money goes round and round. And "a situation" is not "dead set". It means that any situation can change any time. So... his end sentencing is "life sentence". This is based on ALL the information collected, and the judges listen to the lawyers, and then the jury (a group of public citizens, they have to sit and to listen to the case), and then each of them vote. The jury gives the verdict, and the judge solidify the sentencing. But any form of sentencing, is kind of like a contract, it has sub-clauses etc etc... And that those clauses can be activated, if the requirement is met. So basically... if this man feel deep emotions and sorrow from his own actions... and that he literally realises the consequences of his own actions. i.e. His kids may reject him. His work chances may be reduced. He may even be prosecuted back home too. Or to have the final days spent back in Singapore's prison. (We don't know.) Maybe his grand kids may even hate him. Cos of what he has done. Normally... when you are a criminal, most people tend to stay away from you publically. Cos they think that you will do it again. This is how people behave in the UK. They are judged. Badly. Many criminals get a lot of anxiety.... in general. Cos they cannot see how else people will help them. (Yes, of course, if you compare this to the rest of the world, maybe the standard is NOT as harsh... but the UK's system is like that, cos there is not a lot of people. So... but it means that his spending in the prison has to be paid by the taxpayors... So...)

  4966. They did some nice things.. I didn't know about the Vice owning Buzz feed, that was funny. Or some of their articles there were. And then, some of the Vice's documentaries were. But I didn't like the Vice Asia... that looks more like an actual "lifestyle" brand.. than anything.. It is so ghetto'd that it is pretty surreal ???..... It's another typical...."tattoo, graffitti... skateboard...... drugs....".... But that was already covered, and been through HELL... AND back... into living life. In the UK, we have had indie websites like Urban75... and various publications like... ID... Bennetton's "Color".... (which I used to buy a LOT)..... And then Marie Claire as well.... I used to get so much of the female's issues via Marie Claire. So.... Maybe that was what went on behind the scenes in Canada.. but I have been through, that, been there, done that. And came out of it already. I still have old copies. So to me... I don't see them bringing anything new any more. Unless it is new readers... so.... Like most oldies. I listen to radio these days. Or mainstream media. Cos Vice have had its time, most possibly. UK had a lot of..... 18-30's young magazines... so..... Smash hits/Color/ID/Marie Claire/Face.... just a lot, a lot... If they had the guts. Then they should've poached some of the female magazines... and own them.. and transition into something else. And then split Facebook or Meta.... And then allow them to write some of the warzone stories from the female's perspectives. Cos that was what the whole 1990s.. were all about for us... when it was "that thing there"....

  4991. You are not reading the situation correctly..... BMW is an actual... German company. It has businesses inside the PRC. Its business may not just be solely cars though, mind. It can be many other things inside the PRC. Cars could be one of them. That was not the "rep". The scenario was... the video filmer.. filmed.. a situation... that filmer.. was a member of a media company. and those ladies.. I don't know if they worked for his media company or whether they were indeed just random attendees. So he filmed it. And then HE himself.. went up to ask those ice cream clerks. He framed the situation such that... cos he must have seen other foreigners asking for Ice Creams before. Or he must have heard rumours, or whatever... Anyway... cos he did that... He framed his words such that to insinuate/accuse those store holders.. as being discriminatory. And what this youtube channel.. stated... from gathering MORE and further MORE info... and pieced together a piece.. to say that, concurrently at the same time... Other individuals are burning BMW and hitting their cars. And the end result was... the drop in the actual... share price. This is a form of video-shorting of their market shares basically.... I don't know how they host their share calculations and prices and things. But somebody caught some individuals... to show that... individuals.. use their own tech tools... to force a short situation... Unless.. their Cyber Administration team.. filters you out. I bet that they don't filter certain people either. Therefore.. effectively.. and deliberately... to "cash in" on some individuals. (I know.. cos in FB.. there is a group of people who did that.. in HK.. with some individuals... living in the UK etc.... )

  5024.  @LocHoang-u2x  : They will eat you guys alive. I don't like the term "BBC" (or "British Born Chinese" )... Cos that had been hijacked? What seemed to be an actual situation of.. mere... "I am born in the British commonwealth"... which is what I thought, ended up as a case of...."I am part of the Filipino/British Spaniards...Cantonese...Thai.. Mix... Mexicano..." BS... So this is why, it is SUCH a mess.. and yes, people have and had been and tried to bump off each other as well ? So some of the Indians that were British and left over in HK... ended up... cos they are half Indians, or whatever... tried to... some Malaysians.. and Malaya people .. claim them as their own ? Cos people cannot recall who or what they are. So sometimes, they hire cheap labour costs, and once those individuals stay in HK. They bring in their own gangs and their own groups of people? And then this also starts those kind of gang fights as well. Extremely brutal ones. People kill each other, quite a bit ? And then there are the maids situation AS well... ?.... And this ass more oil to the fire too... And this kick off another circle of antagonism. Some people, have also gone up the corporate ladders.. And then they also fight those people as well.. in a harsh "game of thrones". It is SO brutal.... (people have been killing each other off as well, for insurance money).... And they also scam a LOT as well ?.... So you can see why people call others as "Triads" ? Basically, some of their extended families would protect their own families' businesses as well.... Cos it is a sea port.. goods flow in and out of the city. Lots of people lost a lot of money this way over the years? ... So.... I had no idea til those regions kept reporting the news. And then the media is stopped as well. It used to have a lot of BRitish reporters from the UK. As in white English reporters reporting in English.. and that fizzled right here into the UK here.... So we are aware of things. So the whole supply chain thing worked out well ? ... And now, those individuals are either marginalised, killed, bumped off.. or whatever.. And India.. now owns half.. or more of the global internet and global networks.. and look at us now !.... we have fallen so much.

  5025.  @LocHoang-u2x  : And what did I see? I saw that an Eastern European... a Polish person was able to be in HK.. and shouted his mouth off about Nazism... in the HK riot... Now call me stupid... but did... East Europe.. ever was part of the British commonwealth before? Do they know the issues and whatever?... Is the whole EUropean unification thing, NEEDED... for chaos to exists in HK ? I did not even click or know.. until I saw what I saw... I had NO idea !!!!.... And now, of course, they wanted the euro... don't they ? So you want to take apart the British Commonwealth.. only for the euro to survive and to exists ? Well... yu took down that linch pin that was HK that held together the Cuban missle... piece.. and the whole nuclear piece.. and everything else... And now, you have Russian being more aggressive on your door step.... And even now, PRC has entered into South America... to kick off their next debt.. They want it back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM4f9OB7QTM Basically a lot of people saw HK as a part of the extension of the actual South American piece... and nothing to do with Chinese.. Or Korean or Japanese.. and that is why THEY exited as well... Cos if people want to be Americano Espanialolay..... then... Sorry... This is just... trash. This is why, it was an Argentianian CEO of the HKMA.... And he did not do red packets !!!!!... And that is why so many "chinese cantonese, Americans" suddenly bonking and expanding their Mexicano heritages.... cos they know and assume that is going to be their "big thing". They know that they will get rich as the South American piece is going to explode. That is why. Listen to the words that these people say... "no white person would allow you xyz"..... but frankly.... who are they as people ??.... If this is not to mean those white Europeans... Cos they assumed that everybody that was "Western" was white. They had no idea that, many were actually chinese. Migrated chinese people, that finally became Westerners. They cannot deduce this piece. And then they shut the borders. Cos they got their nationality, by marriage or declaration, or whatever. And that was the end. Some people now repeat those lines, to say "no more chinese"... but that was true. Cos if you did not marry somebody, to get citizenships or whatever. Then you are NOT a Brit. So... No wonder the confusion overall. And now.. the whole immigration process has fallen through.. and broken down. A lot.

  5052. They don't integrate fine. I am also from HK too. I was born in this country, first generation. First of all... Most Malaysians don't integrate or to accept and socialise with other HK citizens. They often call those from HK, "cockcroaches".... Have you never seen this from others ? Try reading the extremely racist paper SCMP !!!! ..... So many "online jouranalists " now actually participate in an actual "TikTok" manner, and do not do formal editing, and they often let those extremely racist views in publication and in view !!! ..... Why does that exist ? That is because this style of reporting, is how the mainland does reporting. And how they do reporting, is because it is a communist country, by definition. And Singapore is similar too. It does the exact same thing. And there is nothing common in law about Singapore either. Cos they also take in things like bitcoins.... from China, and from the Sichuan region. This is why they also adopt bad laws too. Even though these people say that they are lawyers.. They are not lawyers ? Not in the British sense of the word. Cos they don't have separation of duties.. and a robust legal tier. Their version of law... is imperial law... and they have a "representative" to basically re-argue their point in front of the judge. That is it. Even though some of us, tries to talk.. or find points or reasons to talk... and relate and be sociable towards such people. It is SUCH hard work !!! A classic example is this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNO8xzMxQ10&t=7s Non-English guy, harassing English guy (who could speak good English).... and was even insulted by the two others, who cannot speak proper English, in being lectured on what is good English. I don't know whether to cringe or not... I felt absolutely mortified. Like really. OMG. If you went to Canton, and tell the people there, that they speak bad chinese. What do you think will happen ? I think this man was an extremely good sport, to be fair. Extremely. He was adult enough to walk away from a situation, when he realises that he is bordering on harming the situation.... so he walked away. Good going. If you were chinese, then most often than not, the verbal abuse will come out at this point..... Before "social" media... if you were a formal newspaper, or a publication.. then surely, you would have a team of ethical standards' editors ? To edit something out of view, before you get complaints ?????.... What are these companies doing ?..... Extremely biased. Harmful emotionally and mentally to the individuals as well.

  5055. And where do you think that these so called "third parties" data ends up in ? Is it not China ? And where do you think that, these "tech workers" come from ? Is it not China? How come, these "FANG" companies can expand SO quickly, when MS couldn't way back when ? Who helped them rise so quickly ? You tell me ! Even just getting a single machine, can build around 20 million mobile phones PER annum ! And then build and rebuild the entire mobile gadget that takes over your phone, your tv, your gaming consoles. Consolidating different brands, and their techs, into a SINGLE company ????? Without fights from those companies ?! Isn't that an actual monopoly ????? I have a lot more respect for MS or Apples... and in those days, the UK or the EU, was NOT affected politically by these companies, in fact... we were not that much deregulated either.. Even since the crash.. how can your earnings get lower and lower and lower over the course of time ??? How is that even be possible ? Please tell me how that is possible ? And yet, these companies can afford to build their billion dollar buildings? And provide FREE food for their own employees? HOW is that actually BE possible ???? When I see many many MANY small and medium businesses struggling... day in day out.. in the UK.. only for these so called "gadgets" to wipe off the face of the earth for previous generations of techs, which were secure.. and took them down as well... Without impacting their bottomlines.. and not, these kind of companies, are not being prosecuted. At all ! How can a mobile phone, is not a mobile phone? So does FB actually pay for these telecom lines and their leases then ? Being an actual phone and everything? No ? Do they pay a percentage of their revenues to the landlines of those companies ? Does Google, also pay a small percentage to THEIR suppliers as well then ? No ? Don't they pay advertising, or sub-regional taxes, to that region's government FOR generating taxation and sales IN that regions? So they don't even apply that region's tax % ? Why ? Isn't this illegal ? So why would this taxed sales figure, be that low, and how can Google afford to NOT pay the VAT tax rates in the UK for UK sales ?
    1
  5056. They don't pay tax per click, and per sales transaction, but they decide on per contract sales figures? How is that possible ??? When each person is a taxable person here? do we need to raise this to the highest court, in order to get them to genuinely classify their sales figures to be accurate ????!!! So when does an advertising agency, that advertises, but the advert does not end up in a sales situation ? So you can advertise as much as you like, but there is ZERO sales? HOW is that an actual sales ? It is not a sales ? So then isn't this itself fraudulent ????? Even when making a movie, the end sales of that movie, on CD or DVD is and has ended up as an actual sales. Taxable as well. VAT compliant. So how does Google manage to do this for so long but it ends up as NO sales ? What is this? The financial market? Oh ! I guess this is why there is deregulation now, and that "Google Pay" exists ! And FB wants to be the "coin" ?!!? So soon we shall pay by tokens ?! What many people have done over the years in terms of tech, is to buy these stupid equipments that have costed them an arm, and a leg... and in itself.. it has basically crippled them no end. I figured out that, even a mere 2G phone back in the days which costed around 200 pounds, ended up as an actual 300,000 yuans back in 98. I want to know, when will these companies basically give back to society, or to return that credit back into the economy, that is what I want to know. MS now "licenses" sooooo much.... We live in an actual rentier-capitalism. When will this end ??? No pension ? No life ? Poverty on the increase? Rising debts in the housing sector ??????

  5079.  @bebecita3649  : I do have parents that were from Canton.. so.... and each generation, will naturally be better any way. And no, money is not everything. And yes, things WILL happen any way.... So why worry either way ? This double-reduction is a good thing. And each region, or each province, will have their own actual programmes and development programmes any way, right? No ? So go with that flow... The worst thing that you can do, is to compare one region's goals with another region's goals. And there are SO many things in the whole big world.. that you can learn. So many people, do not learn ALL that they need for a job. Although some things could be basic... but if you have not been exposed to it, then you have not been exposed to it. For a child, to know like 1000 characters... actually, that IS a lot. Even when I was a child, I only knew like around 400 characters or so. Maybe less, maybe like 200 characters. Whereas my parents. They were not even allowed to go to school ! My granma did not have the money to send my mother to a school. HOWEVER... things changes ANYWAY... and she does not NEED school. She learn to speak better by watching tv. And there was not even a TV in her generation. Or newspapers. Only some people read newspapers. Many elderlies cannot even read or write. Cos it was not even necessary. But my mother was a SUPER farmer though ! And she knows her TCM extremely well ! In reverse, does a child in China now, knows TCM concepts ? Do they know what is "cooling" to eat, and what is "heatie" ? Can they communicate what is a soup, and how to make a meal on their own ? Can they know how much water to drink, or how to clean their teeth, and help reduce bacterias in their teeth from rotting ? Children NEED to know these basic things, and to look after themselves. If they cannot even do these basic things, but cramming their brains with books and brain stuff. How can they even walk out the door, and be self sufficient ??? I have met GROWN adults in the UK... working.. and they don't even know what tooth paste to use, in order to reduce their own tooth aches !!! They don't even know the basics like, what causes tooths to ache ? All their teeths are rotted down to the core. And they cannot even communicate with somebody, and make a joke. This is the problem with people today. They cannot even "speak" properly ? Meaning, they cannot "give and take". Into the future, the chances of you needing to work with others, in a job, is going to be high... What are you going to do when you cannot work in a sharing way with your colleagues? Take them out ???!!..... All I hear is a lot of "she is bad, I am good". Many many comments online often ends up with this kind of argument.... China is already a middle class country, do you realise this ?????

  5081.  @bebecita3649  : You need to realise something here. What you see others, others see you in. Even if you do not go to school, it does not mean that you are stupid. In the West, as you call it, you may see them as very wealthy or well off. However, they are also just in a system. There is no one better option, than another's. That is the truth. What rural kids can do, are practical skills. They know how to survive, learn to cook, and to learn to live in their environment. They know what to do. This kind of skill, is also not taught in schools in the UK, however, parents PAY money, for their kids to experience this during their holiday time.... Imagine that, big big big news title..."UK parents pay farmers to teach their child how farming works"...... Wow indeed ! I bet you do not see a situation in the opposite way, do you ? And yes, many people live in the city... but have they told you that they also pay taxes as well ? A lot of it ! Different ones ! I pay around 2 sets of taxes, and then even another 6 sets of outgoings. My water is rented. My electricity is rented. My money or loans are also rented too. I borrow, and then I pay it back for the entire duration of my life. Do you realise that is how people live? They live on "borrowed times", and "borrowed money" as well. So why are you obsessed with living to earn money ? The problem with China today is that they don't know what the rules that exist, is for... So they end up in a screwed up situation. Surely, you know that is how it works ??? I do wonder if any educators teaches you how to survive the system... and not how to actually... how to say... I don't know. Even if you see a situation like in HK... around 70% are probably still the last generation's farmers.. and then around 30% are the next educated financiers... Even THEY... are trying to turn around the situation. Meaning that, the next generation of kids need to carry on the baton.. and knows and become financiers... HOWEVER... they need to know the history, not to realise that they need to walk through the exact same path, but to forge a new future model. That is what they are supposed to do.... So then it means that.. like a trickle effect.. it needs and it will trickle down as well. Some people right now have different opinions.. cos they cannot see the wood for the tree. It is weird, indeed very weird. What HK is going through, is from being a Royal-owned state, (there was safety), to transition to a federal money-led region, (post 1997) to a..... I dunno what it is to become... cos now the different parties are struggling to come together and make a decision, and NEW people are wading in to ruining the model. That I know that much. Sustainable is always key.

  5082.  @bebecita3649  : You also do not know that, others in "the West" has to pay a lot of taxes, and money for many things ? And we only "rent" for most items in our lives... So you assume that, this is a good way to live instead ? Most people do indeed work, but their work's wages only covers the basics of life. While you may pay like 2 yuan for rice, I pay like 200 yuans for rice. Did you know that? While you paid like 100 yuan for a mobile phone, or something. I had to pay like 200 pounds, back then it was around 300,000 yuans ! While you could catch your fish freely from the sea, back in the 1980s.... and then salt it as you like. I had to buy this.. sorry, my mother thought it was funny to buy it at... a mega whopping 1000 HK dollars !!! That is, 100 UK pounds back in late 1990s !!!! So who is RAISING who ? I refuse to raise people off poverty. Sorry, but I don't. While people have like kids.. and have extra kids. I use my salary.. as well as many others uses their own savings to raise like the next generation. China starts to talk about how tough it is to raise the elders, as well as a kid... Well, my mother has like four children. And now, we are 4 children, raising an elderly...(she is the only one left),... and to raise two next generation, as well as 4 adults.... on, how many income? Not a lot. Each generation has to be working, and earning. And even now, to run a household... on rising interests as well. Most people would literally live off their parents' inheritance, but most of us, doesn't. When you think about it like that, please spare a simple moment as to how others live. In my mother's generation, 3 generation lives under a single roof. In my generation, each generation runs their own household. That is 3 times as much. And energy bills, and taxes keep rising.

  5087.  @az-fy3mp  : I live in the UK.. and I can say that, you guys robbed us dry ! And also.. Malaysia only had oil.. cos... well.. The Dutch came along, and educated your people. At university, I met SO many "Malaysians".... some are chinese, but many were actually "Malay".... And it is those "subsidized university".... courses.. that Malay gets... and then they go back into Malaysia to sit in position of powers. Despite US.. being here in the UK.. and BP being a British company... !!! That is why, those Malaysians.. especially the chinese, ran off.... and joined UK or other various other so called "Chinese" or... "Fuijianese".... and made their ways into the UK, and ruined US.... as a country as well. Marginalising the rest of the other natives... etc etc etc.... Ramming down our throats that we should kowtow towards them ? "I have been here for 10 to 15 years"..... Well.. my dear.. my ancestors also gave YOU guys a LOT.... and you ruined it ! Blackmailed the UK Pound and raised its inflation value in the SG and the Malaysia areas... blah bvlah blah blah BS.... And only to come back round and to attack those whom you already robbed. In which planet, do you get robbed like THREE TIMES !?!?!?!!!!!!!!... And people STILL don't use birth control ?!?!!?!.....!!!!!!! Britain in the height of its empire is around 100 million people. Right now, UK is only around 70 million people. Around 40 million, are the "old Brits"... and around 30 million.. I bet.. are actually.... the registered Brits... Add another 30 million, making it up to around 100 million.... are possibly illegal. Like those illegal Indonesians.. and illegal Fuijianese... and illegal... Malaysians.... that buys a stupid English course, but transfer their wealth and money into the UK's shores ???.... And then we have the Malaysia, suing Spain case.... robbing the entire European Union AS WELL..... ?!?!!!!...... And so many Facebook Employees are also SE Asians.. Malaysians.. and they also dominate the City's as well ???.... A-hole is not a word that I use lightly.

  5094.  @idiot9450  : That document is meant to be based on some university records, and studies.. Some of these studies, which was taken, from an outsider, kept and preserved a lot of items, which SO many were changed inside of China. Even now the old artefacts, most are stolen, and lost as well. This is how erosion, invasion happens... Until the chinese government, finally put down their foot, and put down people's identities and IDs... Until they finally do that, and put together their family trees... There will never be peace in the country. People in the mainland forget that... China, is the population size of the entire world in the 1800s. 1.4 billion.. people... So why should there be a "single language" ?? In other countries, like Europe... a "single language" for only around 60 million people. Even in the UK, the people still refuse to speak English. So they bastardised it. In the UK alone, the people who were from the British land.. are actually, Anglo-Saxon/Dutch with Catholics, Romans, and with a few minority from Scandinavia... Mandarin cannot be the single "national" language. Cos the number of people is too large ! There should be "regional/national language". For example, Canton, should speak Yue. Fuijian should speak Min as the national language. Why does a chinese country have so many English speakers ? Why ??? For copying with ??? Why don't people speak their regional majority language ? And let those people, participate in defining the written form, and the speaking form, and let them discuss it out between them. Why should a single small unit of people, in China... forces, millions of people to comply, to their mind and their brain's thinking and concept ??? NOBODY would kowtow to that !!!!!! To empower people, is to uplift people, is to make them find their roots, and their own identities... People are too obsessed with money. And they are to obsessed with building large scale projects, and not just local and regional projects, which they SHOULD have done. Otherwise, the country would not be losing money so much....

  5095.  @idiot9450  : Why is it not my concern? I still hold a HK ID card, and has roots there. Had been going back to HK since I was a child. I also went to school in HK as well. But I travel and worked abroad. So why should I not care ? I do not like people invading my hometown. You would not want to or so do either. And when you look at the US, the SAME thing happens... Nobody f!cking loves Facebook's CEO. The entire Europe blocks the hell out of him from ruining Europe. So why should I , from Canton, not voice my opinion ? That is my heung ha. It is my hometown. It is my language, and heritage. When these so called technology company, kowtow to Beijing, above and beyond local provincial level. Please.. Those Fujian, needs to go back home !!! So why isn't Fuijian built up now ? They should. Mainland's internal market needs to raise itself. It is not a desire to want 1 or 2 or 100 languages. It is that, China IS so big, it is 1.4 BILLION people. How can everybody talks the same, when in actual reality, it is around at least 50 odd "nations", the king of most European countries. Average size of a European country is between 30 to 60 million people. China has around 1.4 BILLION people. The original intention was to split it down to 27 nations. Even though, why do you think that they are called "province" ? Each "province" is actually the size of an European country. So no.. there should not be a single language. There should be united by regional language. And why does a country like China, cannot even stick to their regional language, as the most important first, and then decide on other sub languages, on a "need to" basis ??? The reason why "mandarin" had gotten to the UN level, IS because of crappy lies and stupid mistakes... Cos it allowed the Europeans to asssume that this whole area, was under one single rule, and one single nation. When in reality, it is under several nations, and several actual family-trees and ties. DNA maps now show this and had proven this to be the case also. So how can a small group of people, over run and bulldozed over the rest ??? It makes no sense ! Sorry... I am defending my city, and my province, in the eyes of this international audience.. and you.. You are kowtowing, to this person's assumptions, and their prejudices above your own people, and those local people as well. It would help, if you dispelled that myth !!! This subject should NOT be written by a foreigner to begin with. Cos he is not the subject of expertise ! The chances of lies, is high ! So you are reading an article by a foreigner... on a subject... which he is not the expert of.. and do you see any other foreign readers here online ? Under 2k comments, ALL are from Chinese people !!! He is a magazine writer ! Foreign readers do not CARE !!!!

Even SE Asians towards SE Asians. Like, I have been sexually harassed, quite a number of times as well, and this has been laughed off ? And my photos, have been stolen, by some chinese, and they perpetuated online... and they often doxx people as well. i.e. They do online stalking, and I have reported this too. The same also too.... my boss, owed me money, and then they got another Asian... to steal my handbag, from work. I could not even prosecute them. One was so called Malaysian national.. and they often also hire other malaysians too. I am British, but have parents from HK. There is a LOT.... of so called "BBC discrimination"... and you can see their actual Facebook comments hidden online as well, and they disregard others. They call themselves "Asians", because in the United States, this is a legal terminology... but this is not the terminology, for someone from HK, from Vietnam, or from Macau, or from the mainland China. This reporter, is not a real reporter, because she does not know the real and true legal definition, in EACH country. Technically speaking, I am actually a Cantonese, or Weitou people. But often, even Chinese nationals (THE nationality).... people discriminate against me, and also actually generalise me, and even also marginalise me too. (Especially so... when you are not so friendly towards them. ) And often, they assume that you would help them, even if they are complete strangers? So this brings in a lot of verbal abuse too. I keep a very close tight group... of friends, WHOM I have met before in real life... and there is a lot of hatred as well. Oh, on top of this... a lot of chinese people, especially strangers, they like to money launder in the UK, without even knowledge that they are doing so. Like, the beginning of the pandemic .... ? They would walk around the country, asking for donation on their phones. I asked them... "what organisation do you represent, and can I see your charity status please?".... I got a lot of looks, and is super confused ?... And people do NOT give directly in terms of money as well. It is even in the laws ! And they STILL do it !!! https://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/who-we-are/publications/445-chinese-underground-banking/file https://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/what-we-do/crime-threats/money-laundering-and-illicit-finance This is talked about... and people STILL continue to do it !!!

  5140. Well well well... these companies doesn't know what and why.. their products are not wanted by oversea's suppliers... or buyers... Cos normally, they don't past the "health and safety" for those countries. Cos if they were produced in those countries, the companies, and those directors would go to jail ? It is only in recent years.. did this "financialisation" happened... from so called China, into the world. And that is why people are using "fin tech" to buy.. but to be honest.. this is not right. Cos if it is not good for one baby in the world. It should not be good for other babies in other world. When some companies suddenly collapse.. and then rebuild decent companies, this is known why, right? In the UK.. and in Europe.. some areas of HK as well... the "good and better" products, are reused and washed, and resold again. Cos they have those "CE marks"... Despite this being introduced... it is just... So many others.... are just. I don't know. A lot of chinese when they see other people in other countries etc. Their skin is flawless.. but why? Is it ALL about their race? Or that their ancestors are "white" ? No...! They don't live with contamination !... So more and more women, feel insecure... and want more foundation... so then, everybody wants foundation... but they don't think about working together.. to get their skin flawless again.. i.e. REMOVE contamination !!! I got hacked, and blocked so much on social media.. A LOT.... So.... and then, these so called personal data protection isn't even there either. So it is chicken and egg situation.

  5159. I am not surprised that the youtuber was really angered by the TikTok viewers... Cos, yes, the "arsenic" really is just exists inside the rice, only if you do not cook it thoroughly as well. Test, and do another experiment, between "before cooking", to "after cooking"... And before you also say that it can be a high level thing for people, remember that... rice in China.. is literally "grown in water"... They are grown in paddy fields. So those rice grown inside China, literally uses the water to help them grow. So their arsenic contents must have been a lot lower any way ? And I have bought rice from the USA...(and it is weird that those grains are actually grown in the USA... because the US and the Australian rice, are grown in dried land, and not as much water as in China or in SE Asia....).... I have bought a shop bag of rice here in the United Kingdom.. It was classified as "korean rice".. From the USA... however, when I did cook it, it was so tough and hard ? Some of those grains are actually not rice, I don't think. Some of those are literally grains. This is whereby... if it is that kind of rice. What you need to do, is really to soak your rice overnight, or at the very least, buy a pressure cooker. Cook it first time, and then drain it, before recooking it, to soften it up. The rice which we get in the UK, some of those sealed in a tub, is literally "parcooked"... Meaning, partially cooked. Not fully cooked, and this is why they are a lot fluffier.... I have had rissotto before, that was literally uncooked. Cos when I bite into the actual middle of the rice, it was actually uncooked. I never went back to that establishment again... Cos I don't trust the chef. But then again, I know that chef wasn't Italian... but was English... so..... Just something to be super mindful of. It is also super rare to find actual good Italian chefs that can cook, and do cook in the UK too. Saying that, I live in the UK, and am of British Hong Kong descent... so... I do have a Japanese rice cooker, as well as the fact that I don't cook as much rice as I did when I was younger. I do eat more bread, than anything. These days, I try to eat rice porridge a lot more. Used to gorge on pastas when I was a student. Cos it is so cheap.. and tasty. Also, jacket potatoes are my go to as a kid too. But if I shop, I do tend to buy linguine... than spaghettis. Tagliatelle is also my favourite too. Anything Marks and Sparks sells.. my mother is onto them like a hawk. :)

  5164.  @blankblank7016  : I don't think that they are... especially if you use a fine comb and comb through their entire company. The way that they are structured, and how they work their companies. Most global companies, MNCs... are often structured in a way that makes sense, to their different operating units, and this is also a continuous process as well. Whenever there is a law or a policy that comes out, MNC should jump. That had always been the way, and it shall always be the way. I don't get why these tech companies are exempted. Either they break up. Or that they need to reform their structures. Why is it a big issue that FB do not leave their datas for EU citizens within EU's boundaries? That had always been the way before, for many other companies before FB. Did they think that they were the only ones ? Did they assume that, just cos when they appeared on the scene, and being the "EU" (rather than different countries, and their jurisdictions), that they COULD do what they like ? Sorry, but they cannot... FB have caused a lot of harms in my life. It allowed me to see the street that my mother lives on, and then, I commented about the rioting in HK. Next thing I know, the local police showed up a case near my mom's area. Coincidence? No. FB also allowed me to be used, and doxxed as well. Stalked online. Somebody stole my data from another site, and then posted this in a group when I was asking for advice. Coincidence ? (In that SAME group.... there was one guy who sexually harassed me when I was in my 20s. Ignored, I never reported this incidence.) Second, another a nasty guy who owns some kind of data farm, or website also actually touted me and threatened me with libel before, when he was created a consolidated "racists" group... full of "British Chinese".... And then there were also threats as well coming from some random Vietnamese Chinese.. whom I do not know.. and is threatening me personally. All of this, is also done, in front of my ex-uni friends.. and university friends, in front of my cousin, in front of my aunties.. and in front of my local community. HEY... talk about "naming and shaming" ! In front of my boss' son AS well.... Small world ? I guess so !!! And there are no cyber security/admin people around, and this is also in front of some local chinese MP that did nothing ? This is also on top of some guy, who randomly tried to date me as well... and I realised that HALF those people, WERE from the SAME dating apps... Which implies that HALF those people were cheating their spouses as well ? And this is also, in front of THEIR children AS well.... They run a so called magazine.. but none of these people, realises that, their datas are also stolen, and sold by a few. A few "media types" were within the group as well.. who yelled in high voices long time ago about "bad behaviours"... But in truth, they sold these datas, and allow different people to target each other and their businesses ?? I think that is hostile, don't you think? One workplace, I saw how people used the online opinion site, to degrade their competitors.. in order to raise their own business and profit, and profile... Why are we in this lockdown to begin with ? You can guess really. This is not including I was assaulted a few times already... and have been inside a hospital for at least 3 times under 5 years...

  5167. @Madman Curie : FB also do not hire people from the EU either. Which is and was once upon a time, illegal to expect "to hire outside, but without papers or visas"..... How much does FB complies with European laws and culture? So FB can "threaten" and this is "okay" ? I do not classify this as "surveillance economy", I call it "perversion companies".... Just like in the beginning of the internet, when the US connected with HK as well.. and at that time, there was also a "chinese" Silicon Valley... aka "Shenzen".. and those people were already selling images, and porn videos of American women and citizens... and blasted ALL over their own shops. I wonder whether the average American knew of this situation ? And even now, South Korea has added their own "sexual harassment laws" in online gaming.... About time really ! So many women have killed themselves, based on indignities... If UK offers euthanasia, I want this option now. I think I have paid enough taxes to warranty this luxury. About time as well. Cos I cannot take this kind of junk any more. I really cannot ???? UK already has an online Stalking Laws... and I don't see even FB have this kind of option for the British users at all !!! Should they NOT create the software FOR that localisation AND their local laws if anything !!!! Why is this so HARD to understand !!!!! If "social" media should reflect that of the real life. Should I not be able to "click" on a button, and send a message to the police force to let them know of the situation and let them handle it !?

  5172.  @Micfri300  : Ragazzo... I have heritage from HK, when it was part of the Commonwealth, and I know of how fast Shenzen increased its production in terms of tech. I have seen how many so called factories that opened overnight from inside China. And they took away both the manufacturing from SE Asian countries. Why did Thailand crashed? Why did Japan crashed? Why did Malaysia also crashed in terms of their financial sector too ? And also HK as well ??? Why did that happen ? And we have seen people running in between these countries FOR their life !!! Trying to both stabilise their own life, AS WELL as... trying to anchor their economies !!! Why are you selling me things which I don't need, and that I do not wish to want any more? I can get a lot of goods, directly asking my mother to buy for me, for like 2 pound... when I know that I have to pay around for like 60 pounds here. The "lie" is already out of the bag. You DO realise this, don't you ? And I no longer see value in those kind of things. There is a large ex-commonwealth communities in the UK, who buy and sell... at a lot more reasonable price. And they know it too. And it is not that Europe, or Italy joined the trade with China... Well, Italy, you DO have an issue really ! Cos you believed in their one belt one road BS lies. And FYI.... Facebook was seeded with money from Li Ka Shing... Do you know who he is ? And I worry about what his son is doing more than I know what he is doing. And we know what he has spent his money on in the UK. And we know exactly who he has bought our Greene King as well in the UK.... and why he has also bought out the Battersea Power station too. We KNOW what his investments ARE in the UK !!!! You guys in Europe must think that we are idiots in the UK. Like really an idiot.... And all these Americans here... I will say this much. "STOP with the lies too ! And please don't give us lies, when Alibaba has already built like TWO mega big data centres in the USA !!!!!"..... There are far more traitors in the US, than there are people who wants liberalisation for China. If Taiwan takes back control. I won't bat an eyelid. And it just came to light to me that... when the financial crash happened in the USA... It was the Sung's family bank, that was prosecuted ?!?!!.... And now Li Ka Shing's cousin is the next HK SAR's governor ? How apt. It was so right for Li Ka Shing to really bollock his son... He has done really a global injustice, to the world. Like really.

  5196.  @skirata3144  : The only thing that I can think of, when that lady stated that she leave the rice out and overnight, could be because she is from India. In India, the temperature is SO high ! Therefore, if she left the food out in the heat, it actually does dry it up ? Bacterias can only grow in certain conditions, and not otherwise. This explains why she keeps it out. Also, if you put the rice in a fridge, in India.. unless the fridge is that kind of air con/freezer type fridge, which extracts water as well to keep things cool. The other type, may just break down under the heat, because of how they function. Since heat can affect some electronics too. This is why... by putting hot food in a fridge say in India.. is going to cause that inside cold temperature to drop, and therefore creates more water droplets.. and then they will fall onto the rice, and cause it to ferment over time. This is why she would leave it outside inside of leaving in a fridge. But the opposite is true when you live in a colder climate region say in the UK or in Europe. I don't know about the US. It depends on which state you reside in. If rice has gone bad... it normally tastes sourish.. like it has started to ferment. Otherwise, it should not have any smell, and it should not have any sourish tastes. On the note about the children.. I think that they could have been food poisoned could also be due to the milk content in their rice pudding as well. I do think that since they are only 2 to 6.. They should not have weird things like lactose.. Children from 2 to 6 are not able to tolerate many food items that we could as an adult. Whatever they have, it must be diluted down to their version, for their stomach. This is a must !!! Most kids should have super watery things any way... Cos they have not yet built up their full stomach acid level either to kill off any potential germs or otherwise. Also, they need to have kept a strict hand washing process too... in order to keep things healthy... So many things to look out for when it is a kid's meal. Also, pureeing things is also far more important too. If I was to make that rice pudding, I rather create a mild congee, and then use milk instead of cream. Anyway, in the UK's government's website, there is a section on food preparation, and most people have to abide by that. So... do leave rice to dry, but do put them inside the fridge overnight. And also, if reheating rice, do think about using it for congee, rather than for fried rice, say. And with many people, they also do a "first wash" thing as well when it comes to cooking.. So you can often see on YT, Japanese noodle makers draining and doing a first wash too. IF there are bacterias, then what are they washing away ? Same with pork. People if they use pork for a soup, I certainly would do a first wash and drain step. Same can be done for the congees too. I normally leave things to boil, then you tend to see some scummy parts floating to the top. I normally skim those away as well. Or drain away that first batch and then add my own broth in it.

  5199.  @violetviolet888  : Do you realise how discriminatory and arrogant that Adam sounds ? I rest my case. I have explained why many SE Asians do not get sick in Asia. And yet, many diarrheas happen in Europe and in the USA. And the way that he described the "danger zone", why don't he remove the emotions behind that and really put his professional hat on first and foremost? Which is that, if you are a food manufacturer, restaurant or take away, then you need to focus on how you cool food down, and how you treat it. This is a regulated thing. What you do, in your own time, and how you consume food is nobody's business, but if you are a licensed food premises, then you DO need to follow such orders, and such regulations as well.... I fear that Adam is VERY misleading in what he is saying... and he is implying with a lot of misconceptions actually ! Especially about the part about the food price issue in Europe and in the USA !!! What he does not know is that, many people in China, and in SE Asia, they own their farm lands, and therefore it is FREE farmed food items. And that is why they do not have an extremely costing farmed food price ! And a lot of people also do not charge people for a high price when it comes to those fruit or veg prices as well... in some countries, it is illegal to charge them actually. USA is based on an economic capitalistic country, and this is the ultimate difference really. I am extremely appalled at his lack of ethic in the sector in how he structured his vlog !

The reason why people are running towards the UK is because other countries have economically collapsed... but.. they also don't want to reform either. i.e. They can reduce their own export level.. and revert back to a country with an internal market.. and raise taxes and things like that to STAY inside the country. And control migration... which equates to controlling cash flowing out of the country. But of course, theyd on't want to stay and do that for the rest of their own lives. I mean, who would? But in the UK.. people do.. and they make sure that everybody does. So then the rules and the laws are stated clearly. Similar to Japan too. People stay and they do as well. They even merged their companies together as well....so thent hey knew what they had to deal with. The only problem for Japan is possibly.. not able to balance a generational thing. For HK.. there is a mega big issues.. like... they don't re-enforces the laws. They misconstrue the laws to a large extent as well ? And everybody does not agree to the same thing. It can work as a remote financial place. But the government doesn't reinforce this as well. And they also don't control birth rates as well. So those, even those who were transient... ends up indirectly with a HK SAR passport. But why ??? They didn't solve this issue either. And those banks.. some of those money are or WERE from overseas' chinese ! Not the "migrant who happened to be born here".. Do you notice that they don't have a great future, since the people protected their money by creating a trust already ? So there is no work or money for them? But they don't know that. Yet, everybody who COULD read Cantonese KNOWS IT.... and READS IT... and TOW THEIR OWN LINES....

  5244.  @wuhuhu1390  : "Mandarin" means in English "the civil servant". What he is doing, is and has been gazillion foreigners been doing as well. Which is to take a simple chinese, or whatever sovereign nations within China itself.. and bastardised it into some kind of Western format, and then overlay it back on top. And then teach the "masses".... What a load of bollocks. 汉语 = Hans chinese , 中國  = Middle of the Nation/Kingdom , 普通话 = Common language . Hans chinese is still revered, because it was a period of times, whereby several nations joined together, to form Hans. But then, when some Hans... married off.. or intermingled with Northern tribes. They, themselves are no longer Hans. Some people say, within the Hans culture, this is possible... They are still Hans. But ask yourself.. are they really ? Some of these were tribes. But without order... or structure found in Hans society. Is following this now make them their own tribe, or have they converted into Hans ?? (What people do not know is that, the Northern areas... some were actually white caucasians... and over time, they integrated with Hans DNA.. and turned "middle xia" aka Chinese. Why do you think that the foreign minister often use the terms "Hua/Xia" ??? 官话 means "Mandarin". It means, the language spoken within the imperial palace. It is "palace language". Back in the days... people were not able to enter the imperial palaces... Cos it is only those who were invited, or found a way to be let in, then they were in. This "republic" period, has killed off... so many people in China.. it has absolutely just... atrocious. Really atrocious... All in the name of "economics"... They threw away their heritages... and just lost their families heirloom and sold their souls.

  5252.  @Shenzhou.  : The facts are facts. The law is the law. If you want to take the side of the law breaker, than you are the criminal. Do not drag me and use me as a scapegoat or whatever..... And it is clear that SOME people are being honest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Ree4Dtg2g Yukon Huang - World Bank (Asia). If one of the highest man, who speaks out about the decisions and the actions of the various entities within the mainland. Then I do not know how you can speak FOR the ENTIRE country. Sorry! China do not wage war, but it wages economic wars... Otherwise, I would not be locked down right now, at home. Some people stated clearly that... whoever had the virus, should pay out. Cos this lockdown should NOT have happened ! Who called the locked down ?? Who ? Which country ?? So now... everyone loses. Poverty is very real. And this BS talk about "I am from china.. I am MORE poor" BS line... Er... You pay 1 yuan for a bag of rice. I pay like 100 times MORE, for that SAME bag of rice. Do you think this is fair ? If you have not done maths, please go and study your maths on ratios. Why do I pay more for the same thing, when you get it for much less ? And yet, you can dare to come online and tell me that you guys are "poor" ??? Chi sin !!! There is a phrase in English...."Keeping up with the Joneses"... Meaning, people in China now.. is jealous of other countries. Or jealous of their wealth. But that wealth actually means they have to pay for things at a higher price. Their housing is higher. Their utilities are higher. Each region have their own wage ratio. So does the UK. So I do not know why people keep saying that, others are "better". I cannot believe the kind of BS people that writes online... Making me feel guilty, when I have to pay so much more compared to you guys. That is the joke of the century.

  5254.  @Shenzhou.  : It is a language rule. Whereas, you actually did a "ping yum" action on the writing itself, and "tried" to translate word for word. But you cannot do that. Cos it comes across as losing the meaning ! This is why, when Cyrus here says "Mandarin is a NATIONAL" language, you can see ALL of the SE Asians.. those outside of mainland, and outside of HK, has MISUNDERSTOOD !!! Goodness me. One single wrong translation, provokes anger, aggressive, bullying, and deliberate misleading context ! He is doing a "畫蛇天竹" !! Now, do you understand ?! I think that, classic traditional Chinese study, needs to be brought back into the mainland. Seriously... cos you guys have absolutely no actual understanding of something... And the rating for education, has gone down in HK as well. Even though, their previous generation's standard, was actually "like for like", as if the learner is exactly born in those countries. And now, with these so called "teachers", who does not know how things are themselves anyway... Tries to teach. Blind leading the blind comes to mind. There is a lot of "giving face" to students in China. This is a given. However... the world has already moved on any way.... So it is not necessary to "learn like a local" any more. Cos others do not want to trade as much any more. People can still manage without really getting such deep knowledge. Just a general skill to be able to further educate, IF you need to, is already good enough. Learn to be able to read, and write, in chinese, or in English, is good enough. By that, I do not mean "ping yum". I mean, to be able to read a piece of writing, and understand it 100%. Not to understand it 20%, or think what you understand, and add the extra 30%, to make 130%.

  5255.  @wuhuhu1390  : I'm sorry if you think that I was a fake. I stand corrected. "汉语 = Hans chinese , 中國 = Middle of the Nation/Kingdom , 普通话 = Common language ." Isn't it funny that you assume I am not chinese. I am Cantonese, from Hong Kong. So yes, last of those descendents from genuine Hans, and not of Mongolian bloodlines. And it is funny that you say this: "Ethnicity means sharing common bloodline, culture and identity. It doesn't mean pure DNA, there's no 100% uniform human genome anyway. Japanese have 35% Han Chinese gene marker 03, so does Korean. But their ethnicity remained Japanese and Koreans. So does Mongolian." Sharing "common bloodlines" ??? Er.... not everyone "shared" any bloodlines, or did you not know this ??? It is funny that, you assume that social mobility could happen, can happen, and should happen. Some people do not move out of their designated areas, cos they know that, they are entering into another Kingdom. So weird of me, to read that you do not assume so, or think so either. You assume that you have absolute "rights" regardless ??? I do not think that is, and was how the country was made up. And please do not follow such foreigners in THEIR explainations either !!! (Baidu was only created in our generation. The info on there, has not always and often been clarified !!!! And there had been a lot of lies as well !!! And this man has no evidence to make the assumptions that he has !) "No 100% uniform human genome ?" I gather you have zero knowledge of how DNA works.. I do feel sorry for you. DNA can tell you exactly who is a decendent of who, what, and when. So much for people lying on the internet. Go back to school. The Japanese, and Koreans are descendents of Hans China.. so why would they not have this in their DNA make up ??? "Their ethnicity" ?? The reason why they are called Japanese, and Koreans is because they split family from the mainland. And they do not allow anyone to enter their Kingdom. So then they interbreed amongst themselves. This is why they have the DNA of Hans. Mongolians invaded China... This is also why they have the DNA of Hans. You do not even know the history of China, never mind people's DNAs. This is one of those things that, the verbal argument, make others loses their lands, their families, and invasion happens. Even now, I see the same in China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Neolithic_cultures_of_China The above line, is the entire history of which area, belonged to which tribe, or culture. So much so for you to not accept that there had been invasion !!! And people like this Cyrus guy is messing up and creating chaos amongst citizens !!! "官话 means Official Speak, as spoken in imperial court. In most country, it would simply means Official or Standard Chinese. In UK, it's called Queen's English/Standard English. The imported term Mandarin simply makes no sense. This is what I'm driving. Chinese person would understant. You're fake." Sorry, but YOU are the fake. This is whereby you are WRONG. Some countries, use an official language, cos it has been agreed, via a contract. And via participation. Via exchange, and via acceptance. But Qing dynasty did NOT have anybody agreeing to use non-Chinese as THE de facto language ! In fact, it has been rejected MANY times ! Over and over and over again !!!! The fact that people are taught mandarin.. and not chinese, is the real sad story here. Nothing except that. And they do not even know how to write proper chinese characters, cos they are missing some brush strokes. In a country called "China"... They cannot even write Chinese ? Joke of the century. Go back home you Mongol !!! You fake !!!

  5256.  @wuhuhu1390  : You see, someone like you, accuse others of "wrong things". I said, I am chinese. I may be the first child in my family to be born in the UK, just because my mother was there at that time. This is due to her work. I then went back to HK to be raised until I was much older, before coming back to the UK for schools. So yes, I went to junior schools in HK, and of course I can speak Cantonese ! Even though I have told you these personal facts, you still say BS and insulting lines like, "you are not chinese". Even when I have tried to show you where I am from. You still lie, back to my face, and say that I am not. Sorry... a fact is a fact. Just because, I wrote something in mistake, your assumption is that, my lineage and heritage does not exist ? That it is "false" by any standard ? You do not find what you say insulting, and accusative towards another person, whom have told you something about herself ??? That is very rich of you. Rude is an understatement. Yes, you may say, I wrote something wrong about history of China. But you cannot say that I lied about my race. Lol.... What a joke ! Because you are accusing my mother of sleeping with someone to produce a none chinese child !!! How dare you !!! You do not think before you write ?? So you can make a lot of assumption of somebody, based on a single piece of post online ??? If this is your deductive reasoning skills, then I do not know what to say. By the way... I have a degree in science. I know what DNA means, and how it interacts, and I have worked with a genetics company. Fancy that.... How come you make a lot of assumptions, and do not know how to actually "interpret" the DNA datas... ( I bet you now, would actually regret picking on some random person?) And oh... those DNA video on youtube, is a little bit mistaken in their interpretation of DNA data. When they often say..."you are a quarter of this race". This is a false narrative. What they mean, is in context of that family unit only. It does not bear any other direct correlation towards the DNA lineage.

  5257.  @wuhuhu1390  : You just argued with somebody, over the English language. They are telling you that you made a translation mistake. Because you did not understand the difference between an adjective to that of a noun. "Chinese Communist Party". The first word "chinese" is being used here as adjective here. Not as a noun. In truth, it should be written as "Chinese's" as in it belongs to the chinese. But from ping yum, then yes, it may follow what you say. But in the English language, it is a language rule. Either you can make the party look weird and stupid in front of others, or you use it the correct way to raise its profile. Which is it to be ? The reason why "united states" of America... because it IS a united (group of) states. Noticed that it is not state, as in a singular, but it is plural. State-s. More than one state. On this note, I want to post this link, which dispels ALL myths !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3zaY3EA-80&list=PLjSIHCoR9kYof3pyGuxDCyUddxwYbsXZf&index=2 This talks about the rationale that Mao had during his working life. He stated that, there is to be 27 "nations" !!! He wrote 10 essays... on the "nations", during his rule as a CCP party. Japan wanted 7 nations. Mao suggested 27 nations !!! And now, you are saying that, these other "nations", or "provinces" have absolutely NO say in their lives ?! Well, I can say that, you can p!ss off !!!! 您去死,豬狗 ! Do you know who is 袁爸爸 ?? Maybe it is time that you dug up some of the old art pictures of the old dynasty's imperial governors.... Most people can now trace their family-trees. It is a lie, for some people to say that, some people have actually lost their heritage. It is obvious that in this group of 4 people, these are Nationalists... Cos they know who is "China Proper".... Who helped the communists to rise, and who left the tools in Manchuria in the North East ? Only then for those army tools to be picked up by the Russians, and killed more Manchu people ??!!!! Why don't you try and trace the family name Jassen.. 死豬狗 !

  5270. You left China. And those overseas chinese, should not actually listen to media channels that is not projecting their own language, cos then they would never learn. This is the problem. I am from Canton, and I listen to Cantonese songs. This is GOOD. Other regions have started to do the same too. i.e. Protect their own languages. Watch this sad story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZXZD_TAoYs I can tell that she speaks another language, and it is nothing close to Chinese. It has another layer in there somewhere. Her translated words... "I wish I could speak Xibe"... She is pampering and kowtowing to those who cannot speak her language in her own hometown. So she make concession to those newcomers. Even in doing so, the state, or the educational sector tried to dumb down and play down her language ? So how come they do not promote some of these locals, into being teachers. Into being politicians. Into promoting and strengthening her own identities, as well as their own languages and speakings ? And why not even go as far as translating books from other languages INTO their own ?! This should be what happens !!!! And not to learn "mandarin" as a standard.... And for anybody who knows that dance. Those are some moves from typical Cantonese opera as well. I am sure that, in tribal life... They did not have this as a form of dance. Another sad story.... and the man is maybe really manchu, but his eyes are blue. He is a kind of Siberian.... if people knew the history of the North East. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_zVzLFJWJQ

  5276. Some of them are not true records.. and maybe have been people that lived or used to live in Scotland, but they have moved away and onwards? So it is left on their record.. but in reality. This is an issue that the Scottish government NEEDS to deal with. i.e. Maybe archive them as well. But they don't. Cos they don't do this.. when they run a report.. How accurate is it really ? I was also on the road most of the time.. but I often DO actually go home to my registered GP. But how many people do this any way ? They don't. And if you read about on the comment about the lady in Cambridgeshire. Cambridgeshire only has around... a mere... 400k people. I know, cos I left there. I didn't change my registered GP at all.... I came back to Sheffield for my basic GP provision. I had a home and a house, and I also rented.. So now.. if you see how things are working out now... People from Europe.. could register and then leave.. but then they don't even actually.... reaffirm when they come back. They don't leave and sign an exit registration either. So how does this work then ? So the NHS is SUPPOSED to... actually.... what... continually keep their records always and put a burden on the local councils' budgets ??!?!!?!..... Why aren't they paid for then by their own European government's budgets !?!?!?!!!!..... Oh.. They don't HAVE the money ?! How rich !!!!! So the rest of us in the UK have to keep subbing the rest of Europe then ? Why was the euro introduced? How can a small country have the EXACT same standard as the entire larger block... and have THEIR wages RISE in exponentially.. and we lose out ??!?!!? And to be even SQUEEZED OUT !?!?!!.....

I have been living on this property for years.. and we paid off the taxes already related to the farms ! How can I have to keep paying again ?!?!!.... Why are you collecting more money from me again ?!!?!.... I OWN THIS PLACE !!!! I don't know what you are doing ! But I have been here around 400 years already !!! STOP THIS !!!! " XI : " WITH THE NEW COMMUNAL AREAS AND DECISIONS THAT WE HAVE MADE IN WITH SO MANY FOREIGN COUNTRIES WE WILL ALLOW THEM TO DO BUSINESS IN YOUR OR NEAR YOUR HOUSE AND YOUR FARM. WE HAVE SIGNED IT OFF ALREADY.....SO THIS IS NOW THEIRS." (Sure... "but I have used this methods in Province A... so why can't I do this again in province B " !!! "DO you know WHO I AM ?!?!!?"...... ) This reminded me of the story... of when I was at universities... I remember being so frugal.. with my money and I counted it so slowly each month, and then also worked as well in my summer holidays. To save up for the living costs for the next year. My father taught me well.. to be a fiscal manager when it comes to one's money. I didn't get... why and how come.. so many overseas chinese students at that time.. from Singapore.. or from HK.. would be able to open a student account. Max it all out... And then leave. And not pay it off before leaving as well. So.. this is whereby subsequent "students" had to have a local guarantor.... who could sign them off here.. in the UK. Now... remind me... WHY are there still people like that now? Even in the PRC.....

  5287.  @Ascalonn88  : Right now ? Right now, you do not want to save. What you should do, is to actually reverse that... and literally reduce outgoing for one. Use and reuse things. As much as you could. Then... Find things that are useful, and to create them as well. Figure out some stats.. participate in political situation. Gather with other mommies and daddies, and discuss the future.. with them too. And rally round, and then rebuild a tiny little community and society. If housing is down, create housing. If no food create or open a store. Find problems to solve I guess. Ask for advices and classes. For example.. in this climate, it is better to grow larger... and HOLD.... Then for the remaining people, they need to diversify and do other sector work. For example.. in the UK.. we have something new called..." Right to build"... so if you have some kind of housing.. you can use that, as a collateral to build a new build. With some government grant? The thing is, if TWO families... money CAN be pooled together, you can find a lawyer, draft up the deeds or whatever, and then build new builds for BOTH of your kids... And calculate it so that, it is all both paid off? So then, that is your current generation of housing taken care of, your next generation's housing taken care of. The thing which you want, is to earn.... earn for current generation's food, and amenities.. and savings... (When you get older, you can wrap the property into a personal trust for your kids. Tax-free.) If you build the house such that, it is self sufficient as well.. then... in terms of energy costs. You could also, try and sell small local produce. Do a small batch of farming, locally at home, or whatever it may be. Just keep watering it. Add that to a local producers' list... Even if you do not have investments, does not mean that, your child does not have a future. Maslow's hierarchy. Roof. Food. Then skills later.. or whatever. Research and research for other sectors. Like if there is EV cars to come.. then can you drive EV cars. Or... can you do logistics.. and help others administrator orders to and fro etc. Help other do their taxes, or cleaning, or admin. Even if you cannot get a college fund.. consider looking for European scholarships for Americans? This is a real thing. So if your child is like 13.. future plan.. do some basic researches and things. For example. Or have "Working apprenticeships/holidays"... Or even help formulise one and organise one, say ? In the UK, we have "working holiday programmes" for 17-19 year olds. BUNAC I think it's called. Or to teach English abroad for a single year. It can be a fun holiday, as well as it could be an earning possibility as well.

  5288.  @franktoh3041  : Why don't you leave people in the UK alone ? When there are only around 69 million people, and that, the people are encouraged to go forward to speak of the personal attacks and injustices.. so much so that, there IS no need for cameras !!! If you made a mistake in your job, I think SOMEBODY will know !!!! The fact that, this is not found out, means that, SOMEBODY is helping them ! Why should everything be filmed??? Why should, people's lives, be blasted onto the internet, for 4 BILLION people TO see ? You do realise that, those cameras send over into China.. and that China do not block other foreigners' details. And nor do they screen out wrong info, and everything else in between don't you????? Even with so many "surveillance cameras"... The Chinese government, does not catch people out? There is still a LOT... of issues, day in, day out ! I saw one weird one.. of a car driving over some lines, cos he probably doesn't realise it was there from previously.. and everyday, he gets stressed more and more and more. And then, he gets fined. So then, sure.. it is made to fine people. So people gets fined.. cos you just borrowed a lot of debts to make those sodding roads.. and you just want to get your money back. EVERYBODY GETS IT. Rather than arm with knowledge and slowly push people back. It doesn't want to do that.. but forces to use harsher and harsher sentencing, and techniques... Were you raised like that? No, you were not. So why should you expect the next generation to be raised like that ??? I still recall my fines... when I jaywalked across a road in HK. I was gobsmacked!!! The policeman gave an eye... but he was not helpful.. and then he didn't stand out to say "don't cross, it is red".. instead of doing that, he gave me a dirty look. And then I was in a rush... and he did not even help me press the buttons... So I crossed, and he fined me asap. Stare at your opponents, screws them up.. make them pay, so he gets paid again and again and again ?!!?! Sorry....!! But I have NO MORE MONEY TO GIVE !!! No wonder there is a lot of complaints of corruption within the law enforcements of the PRC. This is insane. So his salary does not get paid by the local taxes? I think you will find that they DO. If this was to revert back.. and follow "TWO systems"... then actually...the people who COULD live in HK.. would've been the descendents OF the HK SAR.... and that should NOT include HIM ! He can get lost! That would've been like in Japan. The descendents of the existing families, who gave back into the society's pool of money, could and ought to live there. If it was family money, then why would I not abide by those rules? Why are you being nasty to pervert into somebody's body.. or their private lives, and so forth? Violating ethics and Confucian values?? Even when women in Japan dances. ALL men, looks away and refrain from pratting at them. But no... China has to do things the perverted ways.

  5289.  @franktoh3041  : You know that the increase of these cameras, have led women to now force themselves into pornography to "fight" against these traitors of humanities, don't you???? A long time ago.. a friend stated this... People buy and sell land in China via online apps. And now, prostitution is also on the increase as well... (Huh. Like, we don't even know that... those are really a coup as well. The more they film, the more money they make. That is why crypto, or so called sodding money is being corrupted isn't it? We ALL know why those "surveillance cameras" exists !!! It is to get those people to pay for mistakes that somebody else made!!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeXIFmzfgzM&t=1331s From 22:00 onwards... like heck, we don't know what is going on. We KNOW exactly WHAT is going on !!!! China using these "surveillance cameras" to steal money from foreign countries... All in all for their so called "digital coins" offerings ?? Really ??? They can go to hell. 1 - all countries buy from china. Most factories are inside China. ==(Money sum 1) ==== 2 - many of these so called "Fuijianese" are smuggling themselves abroad, regardless if there is a deal or not with those countries. And if they are related to the old dispora or not. They are not related to those old disporas... So why are they still being sent there? If you are being hired by those international local companies, then show your visas, and show your application from those foreign companies, and not from the fake ones created by these individuals here. (Making it a shadow visa sector.) Those documents are issues by the UK government, so why are these people doing this work here ???? Do not tell me that, they work for the UK government... ==(Money sum 2) ==== 3 - there are no international - chinese companies inside China any more. This has been squashed a LONG time ago ! Way before the joining of the WTO. We knew that. Chinese netizens, talk in a way.. cos they are exposed for the very first time of the "outside internet", their assumption is that, they are the first pioneers.. but the truth is? The truth is that, they are not. Cos previous groupings of chinese has "been there, done that". How can another group of chinese people do the same thing again? There is no need. This is not the fault of other countries, just cos you guys cannot use force on your own people, to reduce their anger. Don't drag foreign countries, or foreign companies into the argument. ==(Money sum 3) ==== 4 - "Surveillance cameras" that act as some form of digital banking crediting... as shown and supported by that Huawei's "war room"... How MUCH money, are they collecting from other people? Is this how China keeps the ENTIRE Western world poor??? The entire world is living on a charity basis right now. WHY are they doing this ? ????? ==(Money sum 5) ==== All 5 "business deals"... means that China is grabbing money from the rest of us? What are we ?!! Minions !!!!! They can go to h!ll. This does not include the import/exports of food as well from inside china, on small bits and bobs... or tea leaves from inside China, that so many people assume that "I am doing this, to help a tiny poor villager"... Actually... a good documentary came out.. about HSBC... Even a "villagers" had like a whopping... 30 million pounds.. in their "undocumented".... unbanked situation.

  5296.  @ShadeandShadow4ever  : I think that.. the way that china made money, has stopped them from doing the right thing. Cos they do not see cooking, as an actual skill, or an actual knowledge ? And they did not do this either, in a way to monetise.. cos land was free, and worked off from previous generation ? I like how Singapore approached things. Cos they also followed similar structures and ethics from Western model.. and classified their different TCM things, to that of actual science, as well as food production too. Japan is similar as well.... There was an actual documentary show previously from HK... that showed, how people, had started to misuse actual domestic items from home ? Like, they tried to use a mouth wash... for their facial skin care? Cos they say that it was antibacterials ? (But your skin is made up of different things to your mouth...) It was just weird...It is weird that people also do not follow the instructions !!! I do agree that, maybe it is indeed time that... actually.... "education" is not getting where you need to be ? Maybe the concept of "apprenticeships" need to exist? That "sifu-learner" needs to be brought back as well.... That elders-youngsters concept of confucianism fell over... during communism, or whatever was raised as an issue in the North.. this brought a lot of destruction to society. I want TCM to be taught to kids today.. and continue to do so too... and at the same time, they need to also focused on planning and being responsible as well ? The country has reached a 1.4 billion people... Whereas other countries cannot, and do not dare to have more kids.. most people inside China, wants that concubine system, again and again ???? Surely... they need to find and agree to a method to solve issues? As drastic as it calls for.... Japan, did not grow to 1.4 billion. Under 70 years, it only reached 100 million. It is divided by province.. but each region is neglected... and they tout one another as well, to overthrow the weird goals...

  5302.  @Asianometry  : I can tell that, you are actually not Chinese. Cos what you said in the video.. about "people cannot distinguish who is who". This is actually not true. The "Hans".. if that is the yellow river people. They literally have an actual "family surname book". And every single person's surname and generation is written into this family tree book. So that you know who is who. And you consult the book as well before you name your child. You do not have this ? Ahhh... why IS that? Eh ? Cos you did not come from the "Hans" or the Confucian ettiquettes? It figures. In my father's village.. everybody's names are written down... and it went as far back as before the creation of PRC as well... I find what you say odd. What ming dynasty and what qing dynasty did, did not applied blanket to the entire region. So this is why some people also DO dispute this today. Cos some family tree names are allowed to prosper.. or they can breed but others cannot. And at the same time, there is an element of "Hanification" going on. Like.. those from Northern China or Beijing... if they are civil servants or diplomats or CCP members whatever those organisations are, they get sent to those rural and odd places where those so called 56 ethnic groups are... and in the past, they literally bred with those people and literally OVERTAKE the land ! That is how they "conquered" and managed that region basically... This is why some of those old villages and rural that dated back at least 300 years... they now send a representative into the state council to smooth things out. And they fought off those who tried to take their village. They also had back up as well. You cannot use the current 2022's modern eyes and construct to apply to actual and traditional values... which, as far as I am concerned , still exist. Or rather should exist. Modernity is not all that.

  5325.  @lllllllllllll31lll  : I will say this much. Long time ago... when "takeaway" was an authorised license food business, this kind of setup, it is mostly to build a community from bottom up. So, you may run a takeaway, and in those days, not everyone has a car, mind. Then... you also have people who work a 9 to 5 job as well. You COULD work a full time job, as well as some "cash in hand" job, for somebody, after working hours. THAT is how, people raised a generation. So, some kids may do babysitting for their neighbours. Some people may do milk deliveries. Just cos they have a spare time. Others, could do a takeaway run. Then when all families have food, shelter. Then that is it. This is on TOP OF... their own jobs as well.. or their own business as well. People are SUPER HARDWORKING in the UK.... WHO, why... HOW... did we get here? Parents now cannot raise a child on their own, cos the benefits are not going back round in a circle. Cos these people are not paying taxes as well. It is going to a big corporation, and those big corporations are storing it offshore and away from the UK's tax system. So then it means that your school won't get money, and now, your pension do not see any of that either. How did technology destroyed a nation? Very easily. Those were "ad hoc" jobs... Just like, community fayres, or community events. One off things. UK has been asset stripped for a long long long time... Right now? Right now, nobody is farming. Nobody is doing the jobs that they should do, cos it is essential. People are protesting, the people that are protesting had no idea about all of this kind of "outsourced" model, to different countries, and different people across the globe as well. So now, we are playing a game of "last man standing". A country cannot be more broken than this alone any more. And I think that, in the future... what is happening is that, the soveignty is losing.. and those who has money, are this kind of inequality situation... the money does not go back to the same pot to be spent. It is stored away. Selfishly. So what happens? Your child will NOT see any of this, at all. Then it means, you may as well actually.... close yourself off, and just live off grid with your own family only.

  5338. You can apply any kind of "lump sum" on top of any building.. Here in the UK, we have something called "stamp duty" when you buy and sell a property. Even when you own the property, you then have to pay something called "council tax"... Maybe cos she is renting out the property.. for money... She is... or the PRC government is looking at another form of taxation for her, in her case. So.... This is reasonable to be honest. Cos here in the UK, normally, it is VERY clear... like... if you open a business.. Then it is a case of "company tax".... And that profit level is also taken, as a percentage of your earning, and the rental of the property is already minused etc etc. So... Since she is definitely milking this, like a lot of it. So why shouldn't the local authorities near her, get something back in return ?? They should. Afterall, she lives in a Tier 1 city. Some laws and some taxes do and don't apply to different regions. So... What did you expect to see happen, to be honest ??? I pay a LOT actually even in the UK !!! And this is the fault of China any way, cos they produced SO many goods... faster than the entire world's politics and their laws could evolve. But this is too fast.... and here we are... we now see the results. (And Western world has no more money either.) So yeh.... Global depression is not the recent thing in this century. USA have gone bankrupt before as well... So.... So why isn't China going bankrupt? This video shows that they are. This is what happens when you try to please everybody and not to get some people ready.. or focused...

  5339. To be honest... when I look at this video... and then I am beginning to under an actual picture of the actual HK.. of the past... I don't think that it was "any better" in actual fact. Not really. Cos... I had thought that, the way that we have our civil services in the UK is similar to HK's... cos it was an actual Commonwealth? I did not expected that, it did not have that model at all? Or rather, the people INSIDE HK.. did not feel it, or as so. Therefore... this is why it was always chaotic. And the people there, "prided" themselves... cos they assume that it was THEIR hardwork.. that raised the city off the ground. But they have never seen the oversea's reports.. and such like... etc etc etc. So therefore, the people who were "appointed"... or "ex-civil servants"... were.. in reality back then.. and back when the world had only 60 countries. THOSE individuals, were at an higher position, than they do today. After those UN/2nd world war period... each country made up their own structures inside their own country. Maybe this is why, those who lived through those days.. try to rewrite histories as well... etc etc etc. This is why it is funny when people say that " our law is different to yours"... Actually.. HK never had common law, judging the decision-making the actual outcomes. And now... I can see all those reports.. and everywhere, what is going on ?... In those earlier days, you had functional groups as well. Which is a kind of union. Or acts like it. This is why, I didn't quite get all of these so called "political parties"... I think they must have been like, national parties.. cos it was only later on, that people realises that they are out of reach of the rest of the country ? (And HK's news also do not reach the mainland now either.)

  5348.  @_Gecko  : You will die of starvation if you had Five Guys here... and without access to other food stores. Adam is from the USA... what he has not told the questioner is that, in Europe at least, there are trades that stop farmers from actually farming ? This was done, so that the different countries within Europe agreed to hold their currencies, and split the work between everybody when it comes to production so that it meets an actual curve that fits the supply and demand model. Of course, when the fishing was banned first in the UK... and then those fishes were poached by other European countries. You just know know that, those fishermen will flip ! The same is also happening now.. We brexited, so that we should own back those fishing rights, and regions... and this is now being stopped as well... by somebody. Before the creation of the common single market... Things, I mean people, did not starve and be treated like dirt, like they do now today. (And all of this so called fights and trade deals with China.. that is just... Absolutely non-existent. They don't even control their own internal food market either.) When I see a child today, looking so gaunt.. more than I was, when I was a child. I am quite upset, in all honesty. I had no idea that we have fallen so much from grace as a country. And this p!sses me off no end. What Adam has also not said explicitly is that.... the direction of the Western world is going, is definitely going to be reliant on robo-humans, and genetically modified food... Soon, we shall live off drips. And that is a promise. When the farm is just down the road.. and I am seeing, and using social media for marketing which adds on top of this an extra 40%.... to someone's bills.. Do you, or do you think this is right? This is not right. If things happen this way, soon, the shop shall move to the farm. The restaurant shall move to the farm too. The end of all of those inbetween suppliers... Why some places are more pricy than others? That is because of lack of planned logistics. I have seen one lady who dared to charge a packet of biscuit to be like 2 pound. When there is like a Tesco down the road which sells it around 80p ? This_Is_crazy.

  5349. @Detailed InfoDisplay : There is an awful lot that these "SE Asians" or just "Asians" are not telling you. Like, the fact that they don't do their accounting when they run a business. They put that money, as their personal money, rather than as their corporation and taxes? It is like that in the entire Asian countries? Once upon a time, it was NOT like that. The financial crashes in SE Asia basically killed their economies... and then what happened was that, the people fled. This is why you do not find the same thing happening today. "You buy, I survive". What do you think that Asia and China, now have an actual P2P sector? Who does this kind of banking? Nobody. And this is why most families, most men, are arrogant, and have reverted back to those olden day's thing. Which is to have 1st wife, 2nd wife, and 3rd wife... An entire concubine system in place. THAT is what is going on inside China. The USA calls it human trafficking... Europe calls it prostitution...but inside Imperial China... polygamy seems to be acceptable. And after those financial crashes. This is also occurring now too in the Philippines, and (also, unfortunately) HK too... and inside the mainland China as well. Most people in the US, and in the EU, would not dare do this. That "communal dining" came from "family dining together as a single unit". THAT is why it is still happening. The chances of these people relating to one another is still there ? Just that, with modernism... this is eroded, and destroyed. The TV medias in Europe and the US, SHOULD make TV series about "communal polygamy family life"... and see how people react to that. It will shock them, but also actually wake them up !

  5388. You also have to remember that, this channel.. is also kind of fake as well.. cos it also uses AI.. as a form of their calculation... This is what the info you need to know. "Early Currency in China With a history of over 3000 years, Chinese currency existed in both Ancient and Imperial China. In 1914, the Silver Dollar was established as the official currency of the Republic of China, with copper, fen, and nickel coins being added in the 1930s. During this time silver appreciated in value, and China could no longer retain the silver standard. In 1935, a new currency known as Fǎbì, was issued. Introduction of the Gold Yuan and Chinese Yuan Renminbi The Gold Yuan replaced the Fǎbì in 1948 at a rate of 1 Gold Yuan to 3 million Yuan Fǎbì. That same year, the Yuan Renminbi (often called RMB) was introduced as a way to help stabilize the Communist held areas of mainland China. In 1955, a re-evaluation took place and a new Yuan Renminbi was introduced at a rate of 1 new Yuan to 10,000 old Yuan. The Renminbi in Foreign Exchange During the command economy, the Chinese Yuan Renminbi was set to unrealistic exchange values and as a result, severe currency guidelines were put in place. When China's economy opened in 1978, the Yuan Renminbi was only used domestically and foreigners used exchange certificates; this led to a powerful black market. From 1997 to 2005, the Chinese government pegged the Chinese Yuan Renminbi to the US Dollar at approximately 8.3 CNY to 1 USD. In 2005, a flexible mechanism of exchange rates was phased in, with the RMB being re-evaluated to 8.1 Renminbi per US dollar. The Chinese government launched a pilot program in 2009, allowing some businesses in Guangdong and Shanghai to execute business and trade transactions with counterparties in Hong Kong, Macau, and select nations. The program has since expanded to all areas of China and all international counterparties. China has also made agreements with Australia, Japan, Thailand, Russia, and Vietnam to allow for direct currency trade, instead of converting to the US Dollar. As a managed float, the Renminbi's value is determined by a basket of foreign currencies." This is why... some people now uses gold to swap inside China... cos I think you will find that you will get MORE yuans !!! Basically...

  5396. If you listened to what he said.. This is "Shanghainese".. Er.... that is BS. Cos he was speaking French !! Chi sin. Old Shanghai... spoke a version of Wu.. or a semi version, which is a little bit off... from manchurian. This man, is extremely un-educated.. and talks BS. You have to remember this, many "Western concepts and academia", was written by Westerners,... and not with Eastern academia...or from Eastern scholars. What you talk about, I accept. Cos... even take me, as an example... I am from HK. That is, the indigenous families of HK. Which had around 600 families at that time when the British took over. Some of us, were living there, even before the Ming dynasty collapsed. "Punti" (which is an odd English word... but it means... "locals"...you can see why this kind of mis-translation went on, can't you ? Cos during the English pinyin, there did not exist an actual formal system to pinyin with.).... ... which are the locals.. There was the locals.. and then there was a first migration wave.. of the Hans chinese... And then a second migration wave.. of Hakka.. This was that period of the Hakka (migrants) and Punti (local) war... They fought. What does this piece of history tells you ? It tells you that, during Ming dynasty rule, when Hans people still existed. There are actual rules to separate people, and regions. Crossing over from one area to another is not allowed. This is why those specific people were called "hak-ka" (guest families). --- I do not know, how THAT description, have led some people, in modern day 2020, to believe that "Hakka" was a "race" of people. Er... no !... Some of these "hakka" spoke "Wu"... as a language.. or they spoke differently. We need proper linguists.. to analyse, whether some of these so called words were... actually formal.. or actually... systemically mis-interpreted.

  5406. @tesacc17 : But they stupidly indirectly links it though. This is another problem. Did they not learn anything ? And the other thing is that, they don't focus on their own internal spending either... The West had been wanting to help them raise to be similar to them as well... with more control. Same with Japan. Although on paper, they are not doing well.. but they don't need to do well... What they did first, was to put their own people first, and then their savings. It is their savings, that actually trade internationally and invest in other countries for import and export. "Feed yourselves first. Then help feed others." Cannot feed yourself first, and then drag down others as well while you are struggling is nonsense !!! In Europe... people always feed themselves first, and they keep working? Why do they keep working? The working is to save and build a safety net, in case any wrong decisions create a hole. So it has always been like this... Save yourself first. Maybe they need to set a ratio... like 60 % - 40% or something. With the situation with China, they were too ambitious, cos they wanted to uplift an entire nation.. but at the same time, they did not put down risk control elements to stop themselves from running out of that boundary. i.e. Population growth. Kept moving local budgets. And not reuse the same things to keep reducing excessive spending. Don't change policies on a local level to keep themselves going... Neglect the people first, even before stretching them to do whatever whatever... Promote people first, even before the overall bigger goal is reached. So then they cheat. I can go and on and on.. I don't even need to have lived in the PRC to knows what they have done...

  5420. He said that cos he's a German... but in reality ? Many of us migrants had to do THAT.. AND.. on top of THAT.. we had to both work, and pay taxes, and also contribute to family businesses, in order to raise itself off the sodding ground. Working in order to get those companies? You guys didn't kick off anything... You had back ups everywhere.. and had a deal with China as well... so nothing that you say, was ever fair.. cos you had the other countries to back you up? Whereas most of European's stock markets then, was not so spread out at all... and Britain had a strong market back then as well.. So entrepreuneur is just... He is of course happy, cos Britain paid off their debts off to Germany and to the USA.. and of course, you guys are "happy".... !!!!.... I am so livid, the more I read the comments online. Am so peeved off... Most people work a sodding 60+ week.. and not even have an actual pension pot. And every day is dynamic. i.e. Reduced bus services. Changed routines... etc etc etc... And changed taxations.. etc etc etc.... Multi-tasking is like the norm as well ?... Most people get burn outs... Germany is just... don't get me started. They had like 7 year degrees.. and paid internships as well. All of that, and their mortgages were like 100 year old. Their rents were low.... and they just moved around quite a lot.. and also paid taxes? And then they forced other European countries to join the euro.. without ever allowing them choices... Cos they forced them to die out basically. And Germany still had a foot into the PRC back then.. with their cars.. so it isn't like half the country was not communist to begin with. Cos they were. And they never really truly paid off those debts... either... They enter the chinese market.. and then subsidize.. and then use the euro to leverage.... Of course, he would say what he did... but now. It is the other European members who are .. sodding... sacrificed !!!!! Germans had no .. actual... respect for women either... at all. They thought I was a Japanese prostitute when I visited Germany !!!!!! Wasn't impressed !!!! Their people were SO pervy ! Still remember that to this day !!! Talk about hostilities !!!!.... I couldn't run away quicker with my cousin.. we were shocked... For a supposed country that had been doing business inside China. I was kind of.... Well.. it is what it is... It speaks volume. Even now.. I realised that there are so many German-Cantonese kids as well.. in HK and in SE Asia.... all over... and some looks like genuinely Hungarian-Cantonese, but they don't know the differences at all. Or that they were the Hasbro's... descendents with their funny chins.... But I don't think they care. They still identify as "chinese". Weird... how odd !

  5429. Many vietnamese were and are cantones or Southern Chinese. The fact that the case happened with the HK young lady Ms Chow... who is also of Southern Hans heritages. And the lack of Cantonese also being used, which so many Vietnamese still refer... and hold tightly as well. (As part of their history and heritages.) Whilst.. the so called "European ancestries" within HK.. and beyond... and other countries like Philippines (Spanish colony).. and also Indonesia (Dutch)..... enjoyed. Vietnam, was once true and true Chinese people. They should not be placed below Philippines, or Indonesia... and hence, why this kind of supposed "Colony"....(Definitely not should have been below Singapore either !) Well... It isn't going to happen, is it ???... So many Europeans, aren't even controlled in SE Asia... Imagine the opposite happening.. Imagine if one of the oldest Royal family of the UK, or within the EU was attacked. Would the entire world not realise or raise its head? They would. Cos they are Royalty. And these countries have a "Soveignty" cos it is "Master-Slave" relationship. (This term is more used now even in HK....).... And then.... Imagine that Vietnam.. who had actual chinese living there, and some of these Chinese, were also of the older Chinese dynasties as well. Trumping the current PRC Administration.... You can tell a lot.. even when the locals no longer subscribe or even listen to those Southern Chinese media channels any more.. You just know know KNOW for certain and for sure that people are peeved off. Very annoyed. Ms Chow comes from one of the oldest Hans Chinese dynasties... actual and genuine Hans Chinese... and not a Tibetan. Not a Mongol. Not even Manchu..... This is also why people are peeved off.
