except they don't
I've never had food poisoning as bad as this one time I ate in china
Also Mao was basically turned China into Scientology
He probably wrote some shit about cleaning windows too
where'd you go eat?
Mao killed the intellectuals of China for what they had, then destroyed a good amount of the cultural history
For whatever reason he's did his best impersonation of stalin
and lucked out in the vaccuum when the prior leader chiang kai sek was a control freak who bumbled it all
I ate at a hotel restaurant
the food was good but just almost killed me
how did i almost kill you?
my wife is from taiwan, and when you read the history of how Mao took over, and how he ran China afterwards
it perplexes you
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

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
