@ericcartmann said "Chinese people can starve" China can support 20% of the world's population with only 7% arable land and still produce surplus food for export. We are home to world's largest pig, goat, sheep and duck farms. China's fishing industry accounts for one-third of the world's fish production and our fish farms account for two-thirds of the world's aquaculture production. China ranks 1st in worldwide farm output, producing more rice, wheat, onions, cabbages, green beans, cauliflowers, eggplant, potatoes, spinaches, carrots, cucumbers, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, pears, grapes, peaches, apples, plums, strawberries, kiwifruits, tomatoes, watermelons, tea, beer, chestnuts, peanuts, eggs, and honey than other countries.

Westerners always complain about Chinese people are rude, spit in public, jaywalk, disobey traffic laws, drive through red lights, etc, so what this system hopes to achieve is to prevent such people from traveling overseas and becoming a nuisance to others.

Exactly. China needs more pork anyway, so lifting the ban doesn't harm China. But Canada missed out on the opportunity to exert economic leverage.

In the original scenario, Canadians certainly aren't laughing.

Tiangong-1 was launched in 2011, originally with expected operational lifespan of 2 years. But its already 2018, and the spacestation has long since been decommissioned and is reentering Earth's atmosphere after its service. Just like when America's Skylab create news sensation back in 1979 during its reentry, this is the natural conclusion to after the spacestation outlived its usefulness.

Wally Wally said "China food is for animal standards." Chinese food is delicious, and many people all over the world have professed their love of Chinese cuisine. Want something flavorful? Try our Sweet & Sour Pork. If you want something meaty, we have Peking Duck. If you want something light, we have Dim Sum Dumplings. If you're in a hurry, just grab convenient Baozi (Pork Bun) and eat it on the go. If you like mild spicy, care to try our Kung Pao Chicken? If you like very spicy, dare to try our Mapo Tofu? If you are vegetarian, we have vegetarian Springrolls. And we are tofu heaven. If you like rice, we have Fried Rice. If you like noodles, we have Chow Mein. If you like porridge, we have Congee. If you like soups, we have Hotpot. If you like seafood, well you're in luck, because Chinese love seafood too. Even other countries have adapted Chinese food to suit their local palette. America has Chinese food like _General Tso's chicken, Chop Suey, Beef Brocolli,_ etc. Japan has Chinese food like Ramen (拉麺), Mābō-dōfu (麻婆豆腐), Chashu (叉燒), etc. Korea has Chinese food like _Jajangmyeon (炸酱面) Jjamppong, Tangsuyuk (糖醋肉),_ etc. Australia has Chinese food like _Lemon Chicken, Chicken Stir-fried, Chow Sam See,_ etc. Canada has Chinese food like _Ginger Beef, Newfoundland Chow Mein, Thunder Bay bon bons,_ etc. Philippines has Chinese food like _Batchoy (肉脆), Hopia (好餅), Kiampong (鹹飯)_ etc. ... Sources: _Wikipedia: Chinese Cuisine, American Chinese cuisine, Australian Chinese cuisine, Canadian-Chinese cuisine, Filipino Chinese cuisine, Japanese Chinese cuisine, Korean Chinese cuisine,_ So many people love Chinese food both authentic or modified to suit their tastes, so what's wrong with Chinese food then? I heard that in America for example, there are more Chinese restaurants in United States, that there are Western fast-food restaurants like _McDonald's, Wendy's, Kentucky Fried Chicken,_ etc all combined.

China is implementing Meritocracy, where people are rewarded based on good behavior, and penalized for undesirable behavior. People always complain about how Chinese people are rude, how we spit in public, jaywalking, disobey traffic laws, drive through red lights, drive on wrong side of the lane. Well, the government is implementing this social credit system to discourage such behavior and if your score falls too low, you won't be allowed to travel out of the country and become a menace to other countries. But its not the end of the world if your score falls too low, There are numerous ways to increase your social credit to become acceptable enough to travel again. That's the whole point of a meritocracy.

Citizen Suppression? America has the world's largest incarceration rate and US prisons are so full and packed to overcapacity, that the US government releases inmates back onto the streets in order to ease the overcrowded situation of its prisons.

+captindo I mean, Black Mirror is just a work of fiction, and the writers and film producers purposely exaggerate the stories for entertainment purposes, when in reality it may not proceed according to what the stories described.

@hermittmog8697 Huawei CFO (also the CEO's daughter) Meng Wanzhou have been arrested by Canadian authorities, even though Meng did not break any Canadian laws while in Canada. She was arrested in 2018, yet up till now there's no hearing for her? Is it because there's no evidence of Meng having broken any Canadian laws?

You Westerners love to complain about Chinese people being rude, spitting in public, jaywalking, drive through red lights, etc, so Chinese government is taking a new approach to tackle such undesirable behavior by preventing such people from traveling overseas and being a menace to other countries.

+ClintexL2b There is logic to what I've said, and since its implementation, there has a been a marked improvement of Chinese people behavior and reduced number of offenses.
4
+ClintexL2b Exactly. There's good and bad to everything. But the problem is, the whole system hasn't even been fully implemented, yet Westerners are already terming it as "dystopian". But the term originated from Orwell's novel and frankly speaking, its just a work of fiction and it doesn't necessarily mean the future will turn out like that.

@atodaso1668 China has air pollution problems yes, because of our over-reliance on coal power, which burns dirtily and produce smog, so the government built world's largest hydroelectric powerstation, the Three Gorges Dam to supply China with clean renewable energy to help reduce our over-reliance on coal power.

+jack sparrow you're a broken tool, or a tool that refuses to work properly.

@MechMask Thanks for the compliment, and good luck with your assignment on China's Social Credit System. But be warned, that your classmates may not take kindly to presenting the positive aspects of the Social Credit System. Seems like most people in the West have been "brainwashed" to overlook the positive aspects of the system, and only focus on the negative aspects that's all, and hardly anyone seems willing to go against the flow here.

China provides invaluable data about consumers, their preferences, their purchases, their movements, their dislikes, their lifestyles, all to help those big tech companies plan their next product.

@jackssrv China's fish farms dominate the world's aquaculture, and we are home to world's largest deep-sea fish farming facility, Shenlan 1.

@jackssrv China can support 20% of world's population with only 7% arable land. Rice farmers ingeniously cut steppes into hills for their rice padi, and even deserts can be converted into arable land.

@hermittmog8697 Canada missed out on the perfect opportunity to exert economic leverage, since China lifted the meat ban on our own. Now that the ban is lifted, it's going to be difficult for Canada to convince its meat sellers not to sell to China.

@hermittmog8697 Meng Wanzhou been arrested 1 year ago since 2018, but why hasn't her trial been put through? And her hearing is scheduled for January 2020 next year? Why need to wait so long just for that? Is it because there's no evidence of her crimes, so the USA needs time to manufacture evidence against Meng? Is USA doing this to strike an economic blow against Huawei, because Huawei is doing so well?

@Matthew Li So what's this "leverage" that Canadian sellers have over Chinese buyers? Canada missed out on the opportunity to exert economic leverage to get something out of China, because China lifted the ban off our own. If Canada decided to halt the sales of meat to China, Canadian meat sellers probably won't be to happy to comply. And its not the US pork sellers that are complaining, its the American soybean farmers that are hurting.

@user-iq2nm4wy6j About Education in China, As of 2013, China has also become a top destination for international students, ranking 3rd in the world, according to Institute of International Education. China ranks 3rd among countries that host the most international students, IIE reports Source: usnews(dot)com/education/best-global-universities/articles/2013/10/08/explore-the-worlds-top-universities China is also the most popular destination in Asia for international students, surpassing other Asian countries like Japan, Korea, India, Singapore, etc in sheer number of international students.

@atodaso1668 Tibet is part of China since 800 years ago when the Mongols conquered Kingdom of Thibet and Song Dynasty China and incorporated those territory into Yuan Dynasty China. The Manchu conquerors of China did a similar thing with Tibet centuries later during Qing Dynasty China. Tibet broke free of China in 1913, but was reunited with the mainland by 1951, so why should China give up our territory? Tibet was part of China for longer than the Western colonists colonised Americas.

China should follow our own path to success, instead of just blindly copying the West's decline.

@andieisabella Not enough land on Earth to feed the world population? Then why not make more land available? Like I said earlier, China can support 20% of world's population with just 7% arable land, and China has been combating desertification and converting deserts into crop fields.

@andieisabella Because China has so little arable land, Chinese farmers ingeniously cut terraces into hills to create level terrain to grow rice. Some farmers even raise fish side by side with rice crops, and the fish eat insects in the water and fish manure helps keep the soil fertile, and the fishes themselves may serve as food. China: Growing rice, raising fish for food and livelihood security youtube.com/watch?v=ejP1VflTZ4A Chinese farmers have faced the problem of food security for centuries. Some fish farmers cultivate silkworms beside carp, and silkworm pupae (rich in protein) are fed to the fish and also used to fertilise mulberry plants that silkworm feed upon.

@HKZ P If the journalist broke Chinese laws, then why can't we punish them under our laws? I mean, didn't US President Trump stand with Saudi Arabia and defended the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince from murder of journalist? He said the journalist Khashoggi was an enemy of the state after all.

@XykuJoxa How are Chinese people slaves? Chinese people are free to travel overseas for work, study or play (as long as they behave themselves) Haven't you seen Chinese tourists visiting your lands, buying souvenirs and stimulating your economies? Your Western schools and universities are positively flooded with international exchange students from China, studying the same topics as their peers. In global research institutions, Chinese scientists are collaborating with foreign companies in joint R&D projects. And Chinese investors are buying up property in other countries to develop them. So is that why Westerners very sad? Because China is growing stronger every day and our people are virtually everywhere? We do make up 20% of the world's population after all!

@malding8643 "Your perspective goes against what is considered acceptable in almost all western nations, this is going too far." Well China is not a Western nation, and many Chinese have accepted our system. I already elaborated on how it benefits China by keeping rude, inconsiderate Chinese with low social scores within China, by barring them from purchasing plane tickets to fly to other countries and make nuisance of themselves. But its not the end of the world, and there are numerous ways to raise your social score. That is the whole point of a meritocracy after all. If you can't refute my points made over 2 months ago, then why are you claiming I am going too far?

@XykuJoxa How exactly are Chinese people underpaid, overworked, have no freedom? Chinese people are free to travel overseas to other countries for work, study or play (as long as they behave). Haven't you seen the Chinese tourists in your countries, spending money on souvenirs and stimulating your economies? Your local schools and universities are flooded with international exchange students from China, studying the same topics as their peers and competing with them for university courses and job offers when they graduate. Chinese companies like Huawei, Lenovo, Xiamo, Oppo, etc, have become global brands and are hiring foreigners. And Chinese investors are buying up real estate in your countries to develop them. So how exactly do Chinese people lack freedoms? We are virtually everywhere in the world, since we make up 20% of the world's population after all!
