little known fact:
he was just trying to deliver some jiaozi to the guys in the tank but they wouldn't open the hatch

The Chinese government. Duh

Why are 90% of Western expats in China so fucking negative? They complain about China, say everyone who goes there is a loser, they practically hate China, and then they still just stay there.

>meats

gee i wonder why

bullshit

um yeah why tf would he just jump around there with two delivery bags in his hands

China is for the Han. Whites deserve to be miserable.

remove wh*tes now!!

how much would you pay to penetrate for 60 minutes this tight vagina?

She would pay me for doing it

Nothing. My semen is good for healthy according to traditional Chinese medicine. If anything, she should give me a few hundred kuai for my TCM service.

Are minorities in China as destructive as the minorities here?

no, except uyghurs

...

What do you think that they "made worse in the long run"

I wonder why living in a country which has radically different attitudes, language and customs is such a strain on your world view and mental health.
They probably feel the same way as an animal that is outside of its natural habitat.

Idk he looks pretty comfortable to me

He is drinking alcohol next to a bunch of trash in an alley while wearing a santa coat.
Something is wrong there.

You're just jealous you can't drink booze in a santa coat in a trash filled Chinese back alley

Are you wearing a pair of Feiyue?

No?
Then get the FUCK out of this thread.

The craziest part about this is that a lot of these guys are English teachers. They could literally teach in almost any other country, and they still stay in China.

HUE HUE where the handsome men at?

most other countries require to have actual credentials to teach and not just some 2 month meme degree

Then they should spend the couple years to get one. If they already have a Bachelor's degree (which they should, but then again, these are expats in China), they could be a certified teacher in 1-2 years depending on the jurisdiction.

Good thing you can see whites in the background because if I went to china for a girl who looked like that i would kill myself

Dude shut the fuck up

Their lives in China are just very easy, it's a fact.

question
should there be limits on wealth?

yes

stop this commie talk

I think it had something to do with using up groundwater and then dying anyways because the trees weren't suitable, hastening the desertification.

Morning fellas

Good morning chinanon

No because you would have to deal with weird shit when investments did really well.

There should, however, be limits on income. If you restrict CEO income (including value in options and other bullshit) to something like 5 million a year being a CEO of a top company is still a totally desirable job, and the companies themselves are spending less on getting good CEOs.

Then again it's probably better to just have the progressive tax get really steep at that point, and it only really works if you are diligent about closing loopholes.

Well, apparently the trees aren't dying.

There should be a law that if you ever have more than 1 billion dollars in your bank account you are automatically executed on national TV.

what about people who are rich and increase their wealth due shares dividends?

fool.com/investing/2016/12/12/how-jeff-bezos-made-over-7-billion-in-2016.aspx
Propelling his $7 billion net worth increase was his 17% stake in Amazon, the company he founded and still runs today. Shares of Amazon are up nearly 14% year to date as of this writing.

Nothing wrong with that, just have an extremely high inheritance tax and get rid of the retarded "capital gains" loophole.

All other Asian countries pretty much ask for the same credentials. A degree and teaching certificate. China just used to pay slighntly more than Japan and Korea, so people flocked there. English learning is in very high demand in China, and all the training schools and kindergartens are cash cows for chink owners and turn a massive profit in most cases, even though they're scams. Don't blame whitey for taking advantage of this when most can't even get a job in the West these days. Also, you're just jealous that you can't teach German and have no degree you creepy fuckin loser. If german was in as much demand as English you know you'd be on the first plane there to teach it.

Also, fuck you tinydicks ABCs. You can't flood the West with millions of your ugly gook people and be angry that a few thousand white guys go to China temporarily. Globalization doesn't work like that, you microdick chinks.

If youtube is banned in China, where do you watch your videos?

>Also, fuck you tinydicks ABCs. You can't flood the West with millions of your ugly gook people and be angry that a few thousand white guys go to China temporarily.

This.

I always wonder, do the second generation chinese immigrants in western hemisphere hate their family and tell them to learn English? I always had an impression that the second generation chinks have their ego mutilated and self-respect so low that they don't talk back to their parents

Chinese women are harder to get nowadays

Wahh wahh money is harder to make nowadays

We have our own video sites

Great fucking post Japanon.

I 100% agree with you and think China should move towards the Japan/Singapore system (somr government control but not too much) while avoiding the Korea/Taiwan "system" (corrupt ungovernable chaos).

CCP could become the LDP of the 1970's.

Fixed now.

Great post Japan
I agree

is porn banned like in South Korea?

Last try

My response, Japanon

That's a fake news meme made up by Western media again. One greenpeace Chinese person says X and the media turns it into X IS TRUE FOR ALL CASES AND ALL TIME IN CHINA.

In the sense that the initial attempts in Inner Mongolia did suffer those failures, but more recent attempts have learned from it and done far better. Now they plant short shrub-like trees that are native to the area, instead.

Hence NASA concluding that China's reforestation efforts have been successful. A state of Delaware amount of new forest in 10 years.

Most of the success has been in wetter parts of China. Nonetheless, even Inner Mongolia is improving.

Your answer
>Let's consider the top quintile of the population, which owns the vast majority of stocks. Capital losses of 23% of GDP would sharply cut into their income from other sources. The top quintile earns about 55% of total income, or 43% after taxes and transfers. If the income inequality data were accurate, it should show a huge drop in the share of income earned by the top quintile, any time the stock market crashed. But we don't see that---income shares are pretty stable from year to year.

>The problem here is that while income proponents claim to care about capital gains and losses, what they actually measure is realized capital gains and losses, which is meaninglessness on steroids. It takes an already meaningless concept (capital gains) and only counts those amounts that show up on tax returns when people buy and sell stock. Economists agree that there is no functional difference between a realized capital gain and an unrealized gain, indeed realized gains often are not even consumed, rather simply reinvested in another financial asset!

>If you really believe that we should be measuring capital gains, and including them in with income, then we ought to include the unrealized gains as well. If we did that, we would observe massive declines in the income of the top 20% in bear markets like 2001-02 and 2007-09. Do you recall Americans basking in the glow of a dramatic improvement in "equality" in 2009? Neither do I. And that's because its consumption inequality that matters, and consumption inequality did not change dramatically during the Great Recession.

Yea

It's banned in all Asian cunts

Japan also banned it, but the technicalities of the US-designed constitution allow the censored porn instead.

A good short read on China's economy. I'd recommend it.

Deciphering China’s Economic Resilience
>NEW HAVEN – Once again, the Chinese economy has defied the hand wringing of the nattering nabobs of negativism. After decelerating for six consecutive years, real GDP growth appears to be inching up in 2017. The 6.9% annualized increase just reported for the second quarter exceeds the 6.7% rise in 2016 and is well above the consensus of international forecasters who, just a few months ago, expected growth to be closer to 6.5% this year, and to slow further, to 6%, in 2018.
>I have long argued that the fixation on headline GDP overlooks deeper issues shaping the China growth debate. That is because the Chinese economy is in the midst of an extraordinary structural transformation – with a manufacturing-led producer model giving way to an increasingly powerful services-led consumer model.

>To the extent that this implies a shift in the mix of GDP away from exceptionally rapid gains in investment and exports, toward relatively slower-growing internal private consumption, a slowdown in overall GDP growth is both inevitable and desirable. Perceptions of China’s vulnerability need to be considered in this context.
>This debate has a long history. I first caught a whiff of it back in the late 1990s, during the Asian financial crisis. From Thailand and Indonesia to South Korea and Taiwan, China was widely thought to be next. An October 1998 cover story in The Economist, vividly illustrated by a Chinese junk getting sucked into a powerful whirlpool, said it all.
>But nothing could be further from the truth. China didn't get dragged down by the Japanese economic crash. China didn't get sucked up by the Asian Financial Crisis. China didn't collapse during the Great Recession. Why?

>When the dust settled on the virulent pan-regional contagion, the Chinese economy had barely skipped a beat. Real GDP growth slowed temporarily, to 7.7% in 1998-1999, before reaccelerating to 10.3% in the subsequent decade.
>China’s resilience during the Great Financial Crisis was equally telling. In the midst of the worst global contraction since the 1930s, the Chinese economy still expanded at a 9.4% average annual rate in 2008-2009. While down from the blistering, unsustainable 12.7% pace recorded during the three years prior to the crisis, this represented only a modest shortfall from the 30-year post-1980 trend of 10%. Indeed, were it not for China’s resilience in the depths of the recent crisis, world GDP would not have contracted by 0.1% in 2009, but would have plunged by 1.3% – the sharpest decline in global activity of the post-World War II era.
>The latest bout of pessimism over the Chinese economy has focused on the twin headwinds of deleveraging and a related tightening of the property market – in essence, a Japanese-like stagnation. Once more, the Western lens is out of focus. Like Japan, China is a high-saving economy that owes its mounting debt largely to itself. Yet, if anything, China has more of a cushion than Japan to avoid sustainability problems.
>According to the International Monetary Fund, China’s national savings is likely to hit 45% of GDP in 2017, well above Japan’s 28% saving rate. Just as Japan, with its gross government debt at 239% of GDP, has been able to sidestep a sovereign debt crisis, China, with its far larger saving cushion and much smaller sovereign debt burden (49% of GDP), is in much better shape to avoid such an implosion.

Yes
People can download torrents or use a VPN to visit pornhub if they know computer well, otherwise they may choose to buy video files somehow, there is a whole industry chain behind it. Have you ever noticed those Chinese ads and watermarks in JAV files?

>To be sure, there can be no mistaking China’s mounting corporate debt problem – with nonfinancial debt-to-GDP ratios hitting an estimated 157% of GDP in late 2016 (versus 102% in late 2008). This makes the imperatives of state-owned enterprise reform, where the bulk of rising indebtedness has been concentrated, all the more essential in the years ahead.
>Moreover, there is always good reason to worry about the Chinese property market. After all, a rising middle class needs affordable housing. With the urban share of China’s population rising from less than 20% in 1980 to more than 56% in 2016 – and most likely headed to 70% by 2030 – this is no trivial consideration.
>But this means that Chinese property markets – unlike those of other fully urbanized major economies – enjoy ample support from the demand side, with the urban population likely to remain on a 1-2% annualized growth trajectory over the next 10-15 years. With Chinese home prices up nearly 50% since 2005 – nearly five times the global norm (according to the Bank for International Settlements and IMF global housing watch) – affordability is obviously a legitimate concern. The challenge for China is to manage prudently the growth in housing supply needed to satisfy the demand requirements of urbanization, without fostering excessive speculation and dangerous asset bubbles.
>Meanwhile the Chinese economy is also drawing support from strong sources of cyclical resilience in early 2017. The 11.3% year-on-year gain in exports recorded in June stands in sharp contrast with earlier years, which were adversely affected by a weaker post-crisis global recovery. Similarly, 10% annualized gains in inflation-adjusted retail sales through mid-2017 – about 45% faster than the 6.9% pace of overall GDP growth – reflect impressive growth in household incomes and the increasingly powerful (and possibly under-reported) impetus of e-commerce.

well, tank is unmovable by definition
so the unstoppable is the chinaman in the pic

Here is the most important point made in the entire article. Probably the most important point made in a China article in the last year.
>Pessimists have long viewed the Chinese economy as they view their own economies – repeating a classic mistake that Yale historian Jonathan Spence’s seminal assessment warned of many years ago. The asset bubbles that broke Japan and the United States are widely presumed to pose the same threat in China. Likewise, China’s recent binge of debt-intensive economic growth is expected to have the same consequences as such episodes elsewhere.
>Forecasters find it difficult to resist superimposing the outcomes in major crisis-battered developed economies on China. That has been the wrong approach in the past; it is wrong again today.

project-syndicate.org/commentary/world-economy-without-china-by-stephen-s--roach-2016-10?barrier=accessreg

The World Without China
>For example, US Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew continues to express the rather puzzling view that the United States “can’t be the only engine in the world economy.” Actually, it’s not: the Chinese economy is on track to contribute well over four times as much to global growth as the US this year. But maybe Lew is already assuming the worst for China in his assessment of the world economy.
>So what if the China doubters are right? What if China’s economy does indeed come crashing down, with its growth rate plunging into low single digits, or even negative territory, as would be the case in most crisis economies? China would suffer, of course, but so would an already-shaky global economy. With all the handwringing over the Chinese economy, it’s worth considering this thought experiment in detail.
>For starters, without China, the world economy would already be in recession. China’s growth rate this year appears set to hit 6.7% – considerably higher than most forecasters have been expecting. According to the International Monetary Fund – the official arbiter of global economic metrics – the Chinese economy accounts for 17.3% of world GDP (measured on a purchasing-power-parity basis). A 6.7% increase in Chinese real GDP thus translates into about 1.2 percentage points of world growth. Absent China, that contribution would need to be subtracted from the IMF’s downwardly revised 3.1% estimate for world GDP growth in 2016, dragging it down to 1.9% – well below the 2.5% threshold commonly associated with global recessions.

>The IMF research suggests that China’s global spillovers would add about another 25% to the direct effects of China’s growth shortfall. That means that if Chinese economic growth vanished into thin air, in accordance with our thought experiment, the sum of the direct effects (1.2 percentage points of global growth) and indirect spillovers (roughly another 0.3 percentage points) would essentially halve the current baseline estimate of 2016 global growth, from 3.1% to 1.6%. While that would be far short of the record 0.1% global contraction in 2009, it wouldn’t be much different than two earlier deep world recessions, in 1975 (1% growth) and 1982 (0.7%).
>I may be one of the only China optimists left. While I am hardly upbeat about prospects for the global economy, I think the world faces far bigger problems than a major meltdown in China. Yet I would be the first to concede that a post-crisis world economy without Chinese growth would be in grave difficulty. China bears need to be careful what they wish for.

Ma has done more good for China's international image than any PRC propaganda video. Just with this one newspaper/website.

China should buy up more news groups overseas. Or at least purchase 25% shares.
That's the best way to counter anti-China propaganda and shilling. Buy up the media groups without making it obvious

Holy shit this. Then we won't have to heard about the empty cities meme anymore.

Japan bought Financial Times and part of The Economist.
Almost at the exact moment those "respectable" economic magazines went pro-Abe anti-China. It was hilarious

>news media propaganda groups
>"Pay me money and I won't publicize negative shit about you"
that, my friends, is called extortion

>“It’s preparation for the substantial reform in the future,” said Zhou Fangsheng, a veteran observer of state sector reform and a former official at the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (Sasac).

That is literally how 99% of news works.

Lao Yang and Eddy both work for a company called CREC (Chinese Railway Engineering Company). They have just set up camp near the remote mining town of Kolwezi in the Katanga province of the RDC. The goal of the company is to redo the road - covering 300km - that connects Kolwezi with the capital of the province Lubumbashi. Lao Yang is head of logistics of the group. He is responsible for the equipment, building materials and food (mainly chickens) to arrive in the isolated Chinese prefab camp. The Congolese government was supposed to deliver these things but so far the team hasn't received anything. With Eddy (a Congolese man who speaks Mandarin fluently) as an intermediate, Lao Yang is forced to leave the camp and deal with local Congolese entrepreneurs, because without the construction materials the road works will cease. What follows is an endless, harsh, but absurdly funny roller coaster of negotiations and misunderstandings, as Lao Yan learns about the Congolese way of making deals.

Their combination drugs are advocated by the World Health Organization, and are included in the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Among the scientists of the project, Zhou Yiqing and his team at the Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology of the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences, were awarded the European Inventor Award of 2009 in the category "Non-European countries" for the development of Coartem (artemether-lumefantrine combination drug).[5] Tu Youyou of the Qinghaosu Research Center, Institute of Chinese Materia Medica, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, received both the 2011 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award and 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her role in the discovery of artemisinin.[6]

Honestly it's like they're not even trying.

Well, Baidu and Alibaba released two decent systems this month.

It's essentially just Beijing Mandarin for now though (50% of China's people). No other languages or dialects for a few more years

I'm thinking they need to utilize more user input and voice recordings. Baidu released a user development kit where you can tell them what can be fixed or certain unique phrases.

In a few years I'm sure we will have full mandarin language machine interpretation.

Wow 3 tries… thanks for replying i guess, usanon

I feel that the best thing about japan/sg system is that they're able to keep the power and democracy even when they're not gaining enough support

For example, the support for ldp in japan dropped from around 60% to 29% recently but the support for other parties didn't even grow by a single percent. This is because they're not able to use any resources that ldp have and since ldp is holding on to those resources, the low support rate only means that Japanese are not happy with current policy but is willing to vote for ldp or not vote for any other parties when it is time for election.

Same case for sg, where they've gained too much power they can just simply fend off other parties by saying that they're experienced and powerful as fuck. But sg's democracy is just too bad and is almost dead. They're just ccp without the red commie part.

Taiwan and korea… they've tried.
A little bit closer to what democracy is but went too far away from building a strong, efficient government.
It's even worse when taiwan and korea have a strong, closeby enemy. Citizens will choose their leaders only according to that. Cai was literally the "we want independence so we choose this ugly bitch" type of leader. All other policies are just like what taiwanese claim about her, 空心菜.

Well, ccp won't change easily unless most people is actually hoping for it. Like deng who brought chinese style socialism aka not socialism at all, so if there are needs, they're willing to change. It's just that there's nothing communist about them if they've installed democracy though.
