well, both sides were fucked in the head. Mainland RoC before PRC was a bunch of goons who didnt do anything outside of major cities

left the people in the styx to rot

stix*

if anyone is interested in Chinese history there is a cool uni lecture on podcast addict broken up into 8 episodes that go from dynastic china to modern day china which gives a bit of insight, is interesting

its called 'introduction to china' - latrobe uni

i live near a latrobe university lol

in melbourne?

if so it is the same latrobe uni, some lecturer uploaded his stuff as a podcast, is a good course it seems

yeah down plenty road

nice man i used to live in melb, now bris

I love China YouTubers. With the exception of cmilk and Winston, everyone's channel is only up for a short time talking about how much they love China, then they do a video "why Im leaving China "

It's always the same story.

The honeymoon stage ends and they finally see China for it's become - unfortunately.

Don't get me wrong, there's some stuff I love about China that we could never do in USA because we lack cheap and massive labor force.

you really got to be Chinese to understand china

@kaetaa why dont you like cmilk and winston?

He didn't say that, he said they're the only two who haven't left

I like cmilk. Winston seems a bit pretentious to me lately.

When I started watching cmilk he had 10k subs. Now he's at 100k. He's blowing up faster than Winston , will probably surpass him eventually

btw, chinas standard for video output is STILL VGA. You can find it on every device still (video cards, monitors, tvs, laptops etc)

they have hdmi and dp and all that, of course, but they still use VGA the most.

all about that dvi boi

there was a dude called lowai (SP?) who ran a channel about living in china, being married to a girl from there

it was pretty interesting to watch

he talked about the disparity between the asian countries, mainly how china and japan have it near impossible ever to be a citizen through marriage

or the amount of paperwork needed for him to even work

Unlike Taiwan or Hong Kong, where if you get married, its a long afternoon at a city building to become a resident alien

yeah youre thinking of Laowhy86

aka Cmilk

I follow cmilk religiously. He's a cool guy and like super nice about everything. I've learned a good bit from his channel.

I like winston too but I feel like his videos are a bit long and full of him talking about things that aren't directly to the point but he's still cool and informative.

>tfw cmilk senpai liked your joke in his stream

For whatever reason China never relaxed its immigration policy

I remember my family telling how they lived with a shitload of indonesian chinese refugees in the guangzhou countryside

refugees only in the sense that they were never granted citizenship

those are illegal immigrants

i'd doubt that mattered in the 1950's-1960's

Not like illegal immigration changed much then and now

On my way to shenzhen and then Hong Kong for some MRI stuff there

Whoa

I just came back from HK and in shenzhen now

I'm at the ferry port

still got an hour before my ferry

@plasticsword How good are the public transport in shenzhen?

good but securityis bullshit

well mtr is good

since i think there's only one company in the world that does the metro

for everywhere

buses are annoying since you need to tell the person where you stop

You ever speak shitty Japanese just to troll the Chinas?

tfw say I don't speak mandarin in mandarin and they still try to talk to me

pls go

are you chink?

yes butim transwhite

tfw this chink thought I was staff at a chink store once and spoke to me in mandarin

Can't escape your chink blood

I'm in Hong Kong. City is so great

My 2nd time here

But I'm not on vacation so my hotel room is Ike 6m2 maybe

It's insane how small it is

can walk across hongkong in 1 day

well maybe not to the islands

but maybe from tsim sha tsui to lok ma chau

taiwan metro is god tier

agreed

so fucking clean

so quiet

plus, you can use your easycards at 7-11

my wife is already complaining she is coming back to england

we both hate it here

but eh

the uk metro is shit

the food is shit

the only thing they got going for them is the beer and the pub culture

besides that, nuke it form orbit

I miss pubs

I miss whetherspoons

2 meals for 6 squids

fucking bargain

I'm going to Taiwan in October, any big suggestions ?

Taiwan is traversable in a day, it's a small island

with high speed rail

I'll be there for like 4 days.

there's shit to do there

Best deepnet chink chan?

Are there any?

onions

Good question

I'm pretty sure 8chan has an onion mirror

Just search 'chan' on ahmia

8chan mirror sucks 4chan onion site is still better

but they are both shit

I'm going to buy an engagement ring in HK any suggestions

diamond encrusted fidget ring

Xiaomi meme ring

buy a jade ring

Met an Indian guy who's lived in HK for 37 years

Says hk used to be so comfortable and affordable

Once China started opening up, they ruined HK

Started buying the real estate making it expensive, taking all the factory jobs

Now it's a super expensive place to live, and really hard for smaller businesses. Says 90s Hong Kong was incredible place to live, wishes I could have seen it

Everything was so bright and exciting with opportunities everywhere

Once China started growing in early 2000s, and people moving their factories to China, it got hard

Nobody talked about China in the 80s. Said nobody cared. They were insignificant

ye hk has a massive indian population

indonesian too

Yeah, he was the guy making me a suit.

Got to small talking

I remember HK in the 90s

was kinda messy

I remember all the movies

At the time

a lot of homeless people on the streets

you know how HK has the massive bridges

there used to be like homeless colonys under there

I remember that was when I had my first communist thought

I thought if everyone shared money then there wouldnt be homeless people

this was when I was 4/5 years old

Communism certainly is a child's perception

communism is based, state capitalism is scum

/me slinks away

@kaetaa ni🅱🅱a when you gonna make another laowai vlogger channel
also how are vpns right now, you doing good?

I doubt tossing babbies is a common occurrence in any country

it is not uncommon?

maybe not as malicious as the chinese one

can't read cheeky breeky

woman threw small child into a room, it almost died

classic china man :ˆ)

try and post a civilised country

@onoderaSecurity I'm not big on being a personality, so probably never.vpns are always up and down. Some days I can watch 1080p YouTube, other times I can't even load up Gmail. I'm from USA.

what VPN are you using?

I use express. It's seems to be the best of the three I've tried

Atleast for use in China

do you also us baidu?

A tour of China's first big passenger jet - BBC News
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-asia-china-39814376/a-tour-of-chinas-first-big-passenger-jet

Have you ever wanted to fly on a chink shit plane

Could be good

baidu is only good for chinks

have you ever wanted to die from poor quality control? Now is your chance

says most of the people who still use chinkshit phones with LIPO batteries in them

There's a slight difference though.

jokes on you all of my lithium comes from chile

One of those things does not fight a battle against gravity at 10 000 ft.

i want to sit on the chinese shinkansen, that looked like a real success

also the chinese make jet fighters n shit so maybe theyve got a good shot

kek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpi-1MrPg1g

ive gotten one. they are hecka cheap

>without a happy ending

Why?

not everyone wants herpes on their dick

Nothing turns me on like a 40 year old washed up asian hooker with a plastic bag ass stroking my dong

what if it's a qt chinese trap

Is serpentza /our guy/? I like his chink vlogs they are pretty chill

As time as past I find him more insufferable lately

He has good info though for sure

I'm predicting that cmilk will surpass him in the next year .

@fedora Yes and he seems an extremely honest dude. Not afraid to say what he feels about China or his own South Africa

Thats what I noticed too

whos cmilk

I think there will be an epidemic in china soon

a lot of people at work are getting ill

some mainly of me

the "I AM THE ORIGINAL CHINA VLOGGER" thing is a bit annoying

i don't think "WELCOME TO THE RICE FIELDS MOTHER FUCKER" would be better

@JHWH The first China vlogger to wear a suit in each of his vlogs**

somehow he made wearing a suit China related

@JHWH why? It's not as if he doesn't collab with other vloggers, or even mention it in the videos apart from the odd time in the intro. He uses it as branding especially considering he makes documentaries about china so I suppose it's needed to show people why they should watch them

its presumptuousness. cant stand that. but as I said, apart from that, he seems alright

oh well I didnt say that, but I thought it

am I the only one who doesn't give a fuck what he's wearing?

He's kind of made it into his "style", so good on him

Question: Who are the people behind alibaba accounts?

Which? The factories ?

Alibaba is generally the actual manafacturers

@JHWH @kaetaa he can be slightly insufferable from time to time and c-milk is much cuter

but he's still a lad

and is winston really the original laowai to vlog about china? or is that false

I don't like winston that much

if he were a chill out old dude in GZ, I wouldn't mind

Just had my chink shit surgery. Didn't die

The surgeon decided to take a bunch of pictures of me before and after the surgery when I was asleep, he thought it was np to show me and the people around me naked photos of me lying on a table looking like a corpse

I hate these people.

Winston deludes himself into thinking the people here are awesome, or he just lies to get more viewers and not piss off the Chinese .

Of course, not everyone is a fuck stick, but a large majority.

how much did you end up paying?

Not including the 10,000 hkd I spent getting a special MRI in Hong Kong

The surgery and related expenses was about 30,000 RMB

I got the same thing in the US but was billed the same

in USD

But I have international insurance , so they will cover . Even the HK MRI

Yeah, it's pretty cheap here

had insurance so only $6,600 out of pocket

Out of pocket I have to pay my travel and stay to Hong Kong, so maybe 2000 RMB

Maybe more

But if I wasn't a giant, I could have done it all here

But my leg still hurts, so I'm not sure if it even worked yet

huh

discetomy and you still feel pain?

also fun fact that docs didn't tell me, or maybe it's just my weak ass frame

I can't carry anything heavier than 25lbs without feeling it. if it's 50lbs or so, then for sure it's all fucked up again

You should have anything nerve irritation cleared after surgery for sure though

They ended up not cutting the spine part for some reason

Just "nerve decompression"

I believe I had about half my spinal disc removed

Hmm so you feel it when you carry heavy stuff?

oh fuck yeah man

Yeah that's what I wanted but they said I'm too young

And they said the main cause is my mild scoliosis

oh that's something entirely different

Yeah but scoliosis surgery is way more invasive and expensive, didn't want to consider that . But I'm a pretty big guy, so maybe if I lose weight there would be less pressure on the nerve

When I lie down, it feels like my whole body is on that one part of my spine

>for u

chink surgeons (esp those who operate on foreign patients) are really good

that may be so, but the last two times I was in shanghai I had the british international hospital as an emergency contact

I can't think of a bigger nightmare for me then having to have an operation done by a doctor who is not from Ireland, Britain or America

half of britbong doctors are pajeets

I didn't want to be racist and say preferably white

I just don't trust Dr Nigeria or Dr India with their country specific qualification

lel

most of the guys at the britbong int hospital are actually chinks from hong kong

but they speak perfect english and are actually able to understand me

this is in shanghai you said?

yeah

what happened to you in shanghai?

in 2012 my meds got wet and I had to get new ones

I need a specific brand and pharmacies weren't reliable

ah ok

it's so weird walking in there and hearing everyone speak english

huge amount of white employees too

ye must be in shanghai

thats super cool...

I think it was this one http://www.seimc.com.cn/

actually shanghai would have a lot of very good health professionals i reckon

I was there for about two hours

my friends gf is flying all the way to shanghai to get her eyelids done since it has the best eye surgeons there

pretty stupid stuff

about half an hour waiting, half an hour waiting for them to grab the right meds, another fucking hour filling out paperwork

how much did this all cost

36 euros because I had a travel insurance

most people in the waiting room were other foreigners

probably also why they're in pudong
