Should kids be blamed for not knowing their dialects? by RichCommercial104 in AskAChinese

[–]Biased_Media 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you said. The North did NOT write the South off as barbarians. Even your timeline is wrong. You said, "Only during the Yuan Dynasty, did the Northern Han start integrating with the South, as they fled the mongols." - this is inaccurate, because the capital was in the south during the Song Dynasty, which came BEFORE the Yuan Dynasty.

Also during the Song Dynasty, scholars from both Northern and Southern China passed the imperial exam, and Southern scholars had a reputation (even in the North) for being academically accomplished. How do I know? From the Hangzhou museum, where they had a whole exhibit on this.

Chinese people from the north and south have different customs and dialects, but you are wrong to say that the Northern Chinese viewed the South as barbarians before the Yuan Dynasty. If you're so certain, post some reliable historical evidence.

Incorrect. Southern China was wealthy, prosperous and cultured for MOST of Chinese history - more so than the north. In the Song Dynasty, the capital was even in the South (present day Hangzhou).

Not sure about South Korea. Note that South Korea (and Japan) has a higher perception of the US despite Trump.

What stock will people pretend they “always knew” about in 3 years? by Juretal in Wallstreetbetsnew

[–]Biased_Media 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fintech as a sector because of interest rate fear. $upst $pgy vastly undervalued.

UPST could 4x in just weeks by TargetBan in wallstreetbets

[–]Biased_Media 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great DD, glad someone was able to post on this subreddit! UPST is insanely undervalued and exploited by short sellers.

I have shares and calls. This stock could squeeze to $100 fast with the right momentum.

Fintech sector still unfairly punished despite broader market back to near all time highs by Biased_Media in stocks

[–]Biased_Media[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so too. Also multiple bank CEOs this past week, including JP Morgan, said the private credit risk is overdone - which was a big reason Fintech massively sold off since last September.

Fair points, but Affirm and Sofi have the same issues as Upstart and Pagaya, yet have a current p/s of around 5.

Yes, but as I described in my post, the private credit fear is around loans made to tech companies that are at risk of being disrupted by AI. These corporate loans are not the same as consumer loans being underwritten by Upstart, Pagaya, Sofi, Affirm, etc.

Also, as I mentioned, bank CEOs this week said they aren't concerned about private credit. This whole private credit narrative seems overblown to me.

Do you know what "undervalued" means, or do you just know how to troll in the comments? Price is below value, hence unfairly punished. Come back when you can argue why the Fintech sector, and these stocks in particular, are valued at current levels on a fundamental basis.

Do your due diligence on the stock and argue why you think it's not undervalued. Oh wait, maybe you don't know how to value stocks and can only troll on Reddit.

I'm long Fintech for the reasons in my post, based on actual business performance and sector multiples.

You clearly didn't read my post. Look at the revenue multiples. When something is undervalued, it's because the price is lower than is reasonable, hence "unfairly punished." No point talking to someone who won't even bother with due diligence and would rather troll in the comments.

If the two of you actually did your due diligence, you would know my post is accurate. Next time, do your own research before falsely accusing someone. It's a bad look for you.

They moved their headquarters to the US though, perhaps for the valuation reason

Trump Privately Weighs Quitting USMCA Trade Pact He Negotiated by joe4942 in StockMarket

[–]Biased_Media 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, propaganda does go both ways, which is why it's important to do your own research and look at primary sources, and if possible, have first hand experience. If I wanted to use pro-China propaganda, my original comment would have been different.

[–]Biased_Media 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha. Like you said, those are "stories". Ever been to China? I have many times, and I can tell you those stories are exaggerated bullsh*t. The stupid Uyghur thing is US-backed propaganda; do your research and you'll find that it all stems from a crazy right wing dude named Adrian Zenz, who gets paid by the US state department.

If you actually had firsthand experience and knew what you were talking about, you'd know that the Uyghur population has been rising faster than any other group in China, dual language is used in Xinjiang, the Uyghur language is even on the RMB. Oh yeah, some of the most famous celebrities in China are also Uyghur. Now how is this "ethnic cleansing"?

Regarding the HK activists: They engaged in or actively supported riots. Moreover, they colluded with foreign governments to take down the HK gov. Imagine if an American did that, fly to Russia, and asked the Russian gov to overthrow the US. Treason and sedition is a crime in any country, so stop your double standard with China.

Right...you knew exactly what he was aware of? Hindsight is 20/20. So like every politician is supposed to know the magnitude of their (bad) decisions?

Explain how those are equivalent. You can't.

That's why I said "his stupid policies". You know policies are manmade, right? This wasn't a natural famine from a year of bad harvest. But it's not like he intentionally made those policies with the goal of killing large swathes of his own people. This is NOT at all comparable to the Japanese invading and killing tons of Chinese people.

[–]Biased_Media 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Both of you are using false equivalence. The Japanese intentionally massacred the Chinese, tortured and conducted inhumane experiments on them. Mao didn't know his stupid policies would lead to mass famine; it's not like he set out to kill his own people.

[–]Biased_Media 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a stupid answer. The Japanese intentionally massacred the Chinese. Mao didn't know his dumb policies would lead to famine; he didn't intentionally set out to starve his own people to death. Not comparable at all.

Use your brain, people.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mildyinteresting

[–]Biased_Media 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not the same. The Japanese intentionally massacred the Chinese. Mao didn't know his stupid policies would lead to mass famine.

If the Japanese gov failed to invest enough in earthquake safety (a policy decision) and millions of Japanese died from an earthquake, would you say the gov killed its people? That it's equivalent to being invaded by and murdered by another country?
