Socialism is when there aren't any problems and it's a utopia, and people are perfect and everyone is nice to each other and it looks just like the propaganda posters. Anyways, I remember reading a Mao quote one time from his meetings with Nixon and Kissinger (I think) and they were praising him for transforming the country, and he said something like "oh no, I've really only managed to change a few square miles around Beijing."

The Chinese seemed to have learned a lot of lessons from Yugoslavia and I think some Chinese policymakers see it as one of the closest comparisons to their own country. They had good relations with them and sent a lot of experts there in the 80s to learn about their own reform process, and didn't think Yugoslavia was centralized enough, the central government was fairly weak, and the economic system was inefficient because they'd duplicate the same factory in different republics for political reasons and not for economic reasons. Once things started going haywire, ethnic / national chauvinism tore the country apart in a feedback loop where it's like "if you kill me then I'll kill you" and so on. Or if someone from X groups does something bad that is an indictment of the whole group in the eyes of another group. The Chinese drop bricks on any kind of separatist stuff but I think the government makes pains to emphasize that they're against a minority of terrorists and "all 56 ethnic groups are united against them" and so on.

so, for those of us here, it is piss easy. they are desperate for teachers because of corona entry restrictions and we've been able to ask for wildly higher wages and benefits as a result.
however for you, its gonna be impossible. getting outta the country is fine but they are restricting the amount of foreigners coming in. the talk of the town is the government wants to transition away from foreigners teaching English and get their domestic English speakers to teach English. (which clearly is batshit) however another reason they are restricting the amount of visas being renewed and the types of jobs laowais can get is because they recently raised the amount of kids you can have to 3 to try and curb the demographics problem they have.
unfortunately, because wages are low and work hours stupidly long no one wants to have more than the one kid that is necessary to stop their parents heckling them with dumb confucian morality.
as such, they are placing all sorts of restrictions on "training centers". these are afterschool English schools that to "bring up a kid properly" to be competitive in the chinese education system, parents are effectively required to pay for.
these fuckers are EXPENSIVE. most chinese i know make like 5-8k rmb per month. these classes can cost thousands a month.

as a result the government is putting such harsh regulations on them that they essentially have to close. all my friends who were in training centers are looking for new jobs, or have them. likely theyll move to kindergartens.
this is hoped to reduce the financial burden on families and hopefully allow for more kids. personally im just happy the.kids get to have afternoons relaxing, or atleast the possibility of it

SOEs are not something that people tend to talk about here.
the.metal scene here is good. i hear theres a thriving reggae scene in Chengdu and the music i was shown was really good.
heaps of art, art shows concerts etc. honestly theres such amazing cultural shit here. also, booze is cheap.

Sleeping with chinese women is extremely easy. you are exotic and crucially, you are going to have to leave, so the crazy.intense relationship pressure doesnt apply to anything you and them would engage in.
tantan, the chinese tinder, is fucking hilarious though. there is some photoshop there that just is so bizarre

OP here, i had to do something now im back. i never said they are souless bug men i just mean they got less empathy and seem to mind their own business more then in the west. example i was in a bar with my girlfriend and she met a chinese guy who worked for the military he was designing a guidance chip for airplanes and he fucked it up twice so they put him in jail for a month as punishment (thats what he told her) so his girlfriend broke up with him and he was sad and we were drinking with him to cheer him up. a table across from us was talking about some incident in the sea of japan i think and they were arguing about it and the guy we were with got up and told the guys they were stupid and should shut up. one of the guys (i think they were gangster types) walked over and started repeatedly punching him in the face like 15-20 punchs the guy we were with fell out of the chair and started having a seizure. no one did anything to help him my girlfriend wanted to leave the restaurant i made us take him to the hospital. she told me if he dies or something we can get blamed so its better to just ignore him and leave the restaurant. thats why you see videos of chinese hitting people with cars and no one helps them. chinese by and large are good people its just a different culture where people mind their own business

No right to talk until you know what you are talking about. You get to vote and elect local officials, because you actually know your own situation and the situation of your city/village/whatever.

Stop buying cheap shit. 100% all the corruption you experienced were chinese exploiting westoid naivete. Westoid, however, in his hubris, thought that it were chinese who are barbarians.

I'll give you guys an actual lifehack that will explain all the cultural differences with the West in China. You see, China had a REVOLUTION! Culture changed irrevokably there. Even after 30 years of capitalism Eastern Europe's people are still socialist-minded, and that gets reported as "corruption", "backwardness", or outright some kind of "communist brainrot". All the cultural differences are just that, they are socialist people, or as westoids said - collectivist. Socialist culture is vastly superior to capitalist one (that's why 30 years later capitalist influences still can't really win in Eastern Europe), so westoids just don't get it, they can't grasp it. Russkies, however, need one look at anything and they immediately understand what's what. Corruption? Dude, it's not China that has legalized lobbying! Stealing from the state is one thing, buying officials' services is the same retarded shit as lobbying, but the prevalent kind of corruption in Eastern Europe is people giving officials fucking gifts for doing their jobs.

>The Chinese seemed to have learned a lot of lessons from Yugoslavia

Yes, they learned from Yugoslavia not to be Yugoslavia. Rather than having phoney cooperatives better let people open actual private enterprise and prevent ultras from taking over the economy through state mechanisms. Similar kind of observation as they've made in late USSR. Letting people to get rich and accumulate property is paramount to beating trotskyism.
