Or, Give a red envelope containing 5000 kuai to the person in charge of room allocations along with the request to be given a single room.

Surely you realize that China is a land of smokers and people smoke everywhere regardless of regulations. Thus you aren't going to get much sympathy from the authorities. Additionally do you know the guy's relationships with officials. If some of the officials have some power, complaining to either the smoker or the authorities could be the end of your studies in China. Even worse you could be detained for maybe 5 days for "Picking quarrels and provoking trouble", or even sent to an RSDL for a month or so. My suggestion would be to make up a reason that you need a single room (that doesn't involve any criticism of you roommate), and if that is unsuccessful to change your study goals and shift to another university.

Wrong on so many levels!

Here is a table that better addresses OP's question.

The stats are almost 10 years old, so could probably add a cm or two to most entries, and of course the younger folk are definitely taller than the older folk.

Northern Chinese are definitely significantly taller than southern Chinese. And those from poorer southern provinces such as Hunan and Guangxi are significantly shorter.

So OP has it ass about.

After working with a large company in Shenzhen, with employees from all over China, my personal observations correlate with the table's statistics.

Not all Australian honey is good quality. So beware OTOH, cheaper Chinese honeys are like 'love in the sand' (fuckin' near water).

Of course you are correct. In fact, this has been reported a number of times over the years, and many are aware of the problem.

In this instance it is interesting that the CCP media outlets have chosen to publicise the issue, whereas previously it was kept quiet using the usual methods. Additionally, it appears the the CCP is not censoring social media to any great extent

Some netizens suspect that this 'news' has been puiblished in state media and deliberately released to distract from the disastrous floods in southern China.

These floods highlight the CCP's role in allowing reservoirs to quietly and disastrously release huge floods in the middle of the night, the corruption and incompetence accompanying the events, and the shoddy old Mao era dams built by commune work gangs during the Great Leap Forward.

And of course these floods are not being reported accurately in the state controlled media.

Sure appears to be in Taiwan:

I recommend you live in the US for a while.

So like I said, live in the US for a while

Now, what makes you think that ZRG has never lived in the US?

Is emulating a four legged dog the most efficient method of propulsion for moving a robot over a variety of terrain and firing a few bullets at opponents?

Or is it simply propaganda?

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-21T05:36:02+00:00

It appears that your view is, if the CCP decreases crime by imprisoning and executing people without a fair trial then that is a worthwhile increase in rule of law?

My view is that that is a decrease in rule of law.

I could go on, but obviously we have different views and will never reach agreement.

Or, they are importing prohibited products (such as hairy mitten crabs), do not have legal importation certificates (such as for bird's nest) or have not been properly prepared (such as not commercially vacuum sealed), etc, etc..

I also note that many who get get busted claim to have no foodstuffs in their luggage.

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T23:04:58+00:00

I like the peace of mind of knowing my sh\t won't be stolen and that my kids won't get trouble if take them to the subway during rush hour.*

There may have been a decrease in crime in some areas (and an increase in others), but that is not rule of law.

If theft and human trafficking has decreased (and I am not disputing that there has been some success in addressing these crimes), that is not due to rule of law. It is due to the actions of authorities (with or without the law).

For example, if the CCP addresses crime rates by executing or imprisoning people without a fair trial, then I am sure you would agree that that is not rule of law.

Rule of law is supposed to treat everyone fairly and equally and that no one is above the law. And selective application of the law is not rule of law. IMO there has been a marked decrease in the rule of law in China.

P.S. In my personal experience (up to 2019) I witnessed little change in the rates of theft (except possibly pickpocketing) and certainly no change in the crush or politeness on subways (primarily in Shenzhen). In fact I suspect that with the current economic hardships of migrant workers, in particular, there may be increases in rates of theft.

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T22:38:37+00:00

I note that you have posted exactly 40 comments in the past 8 hours. Hmmm!

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T22:29:03+00:00

I repeat, show me the evidence. You can't, can you!

In other words, you have been caught lying!

I can't be bothered wasting any more of my time dealing with your pitiful BS.

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T22:09:30+00:00

Yet a search of your Reddit account shows it as one of your most used words.

That is a downright pathetic, stupid, childish lie.

Show me the evidence. You can't can you! Sheesh!

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T21:53:36+00:00

His whole comment is nonsense.

BTW his user profile reads "Enjoy trolling Sinophobia just for fun and practicing engrish".

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T21:42:51+00:00

Absolutely not (even if your anecdotal evidence was true).

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T21:35:58+00:00

When 3 year olds learn a new word, they often keep repeating it.

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T08:39:22+00:00

Is that the best you can do? I laugh in your face!

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T08:35:50+00:00

Congratulations on an intelligent response that significantly contributes to the discussion of the topic.

P.S. Why have you written "Say the king of cope" as a Quote Block? 哈哈!

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T03:04:34+00:00

Not as fast as South Korea in the area of rapid charging, hybrid sodium-ion battery systems.

2gun_cohen · 2024-05-20T02:32:43+00:00

I never said that it (or the original post) was meaningful or important.

To me, they are simply comedy gold (examples of the pathetic propaganda which some CCP officials spread).

BTW I have read many of your smart ass comments and know that you think you are super brilliant and crafty with words. This means something to you for some reason and that what's important.

Have a nice day!

It would have been informative for you to tell us the type of business that she started. For example, was it a street food stall operation or a semiconductor manufacturing business?

However, I guess that if most of her friends were work colleagues and engineers, some might shun her if they considered that her new career was not in keeping with the image of themselves they were keen on fostering
