But if you ever say something isn't theirs
They will break
LOL
China Chinese*
Chinese from other nations (like me) frankly don’t give a shit and probably will agree with you
Yes, sorry I meant "mainland Chinese"
There is a big difference
Another thing is to speak simplified Chinese in Taiwan and non-Cantonese in HK
Will that make people think youre retarded
No it will piss them off
Sometimes
speak simplified chinese?
if you mean write, it's not really a big deal, some people here use a few simplified characters when hand-writing notes
it's just quicker
for anything formal though it'd be weird if you're not a mainlander but understandable since that's what's being taught around the world
Good mate of mine is Taiwanese/Korean
He decided to take the Chinese course in year 9 to brush up on his skills
New teacher asked him his nationality
She's Chinese
So he decided not to bother with that class, got out, and he took History (elective) instead
Jesus even grade 9 teachers are insecure
I go out of my way to do it these days
I even have a "I love Taiwan" sticker on my phone case
When I use my phone on the subway people give me weird looks
Even just saying you like Taiwan is fighting words
My laptop has a sticker of Taiwan flag
I told my old co-worker I liked Taiwan more than China and she said "that's offensive"
And I tried to explain to her that people can have their own opinions
And she wasn't having any of it
The idea is to pretend that China is the best in the world even if you don't agree
They will shit all over the entire world in their nightly news (that gets broadcast on every channel at night...you can't avoid it)
And just talk big about China and how great China is and everyone thinks China is great and loves them
My fiancees dad will say shit like "xi (president of China) is the best man in the whole world"
"Kim Jong in is great. I wanna visit North Korea"
They have no idea what's going on in North Korea. I tried to tell them, they said I was lying. I showed them videos and photos. Said they were fake
I don't tell them the truth anymore because they just want to live in blissful ignorance
They think people don't critsize China on the news because there's nothing to criticize
I said no because it's illegal they will fucking kill you
They said if that's true, why haven't I heard of it
