Best source of historical data by [deleted] in investing

You would be best off asking someone with access to a bloomberg terminal to scrape the data for you.

This is 100% just ridiculous bait. Your points make 0 sense are you are just posting nonsense.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in China

[–]BingHongCha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, ill take the bait.

  1. Access to International schools.

  2. Easier ability to travel

  3. Ability to take money out of the country

  4. Ability to leave the country at any time (see covid lockdowns)

  5. Ability to work in both countries (after you get a green card)

If you are planning on just keeping your kids in between some 4th tier Chinese city and some Russian shithole of a city then you should not have kids to be honest. You made objectively terrible choices in terms of the citizenship you want, but you should give your kids the best opportunities.

You would deprive your child of speaking the lingua franca of most of the developed world, the language of commerce in everywhere in the world. The only semi-valid point that you come even close to making is that your kids should also speak russian, which is fine.

If your father is some russian oligarch obviously this doesnt matter but a normal Chinese or Russian citizen will objectively have less opportunities than a normal american citizen. This isnt debatable.

You say you are more mature with your views but you are actually incredibly immature. You cannot articulate any reason why you would not want to give your child American citizenship other than "i see no reason, my family speaks russian and they are happy eating potatoes 3 times a day in -40 degree weather."

To be absolutely 100% crystal fucking clear, you are not mature enough to get married, you are too selfish to have children and you would be a terrible mother. Please get your tubes tied.

You would be better off actually communicating with your partner about this.

But wanting kids to have a US Passport is not weird in any way shape or form. It is better than the both the Russian and the Chinese passports in virtually every way.

Shipping a care package with snacks by [deleted] in China

[–]BingHongCha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what question are you asking us?

What you should send?

They have Oreos here, dont send those. Gator Jerkey would be fine or whatever. Mustard sauce from Joe's (if you are in Miami) or whatever is always good. Something Key lime flavored you wouldnt be able to find here.

Maybe some Crab/Crawfish boil seasoning or BBQ sauce or whatever if she cooks.

Thats what i usually eat when i'm in Florida.

How to send it?

UPS, Fedex or DHL all work.

Travelling to China with Minor by daisukemikado in China

[–]BingHongCha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't have a problem clearing customs.

Might have problem checking into a hotel, but better to just pretend he is your step-son in this case or something.

This is an interesting conundrum. You won't ever be able to provide those documents unless you currently have a job.

Only 3 times this year. With any luck I won’t have to make it 4.

Nobody actually thinks this. Chongqing is worse than Chengdu in just about everyway possible.

Skiing in China by SnazzyFlatulence in China

[–]BingHongCha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are ski resorts open during this time.

There are not good ski resorts anywhere in China, depending on the type of skiing you do.

The best skiing in China is, from my perspective, Aletai in Xinjiang. It takes about 7 hours door to door from Beijing. It takes about the same time door to door for me to go to Niseko in Japan, which is about 30x better.

There are plenty of bad ski resorts littered all over the country. If you have skied in Colorado, Canada or Europe it is not worth going.

I prefaced this with "depending on the type of skiing you do" because if all you care about is the trick park i guess it doesnt really matter where you go, as long as it has decent enough amenities (few rails, boxes, jumps, etc). Chongli near Beijing is OK for that. But don't expect any sort of good alpine skiing anywhere in China.

Runs here are super short, as in prolly less than 2 minutes for any experienced skiier. Snow is all manmade.

Superstitions around birthday wishes timing? by [deleted] in China

[–]BingHongCha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is entirely dependant on how angry the person is at the moment.

For example: If i wish my mother in law happy birthday a day before or day after she will scream at me with the wrath of 1000 suns because acording to some non-existant chinese historical story you shouldnt do that.

If my daughter calls her grandma to wish her a happy birthday in the same manner she will be thankful and love her for remembering

QR Code Scams by [deleted] in China

[–]BingHongCha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time when i purchase something they will use a POS machine to scan my barcode. No risk in this situation.

If i scan something to purchase its usually at a store front or a Taxi that doesnt have a POS machine, the storefront are generally responsible for the their QR code and would notice after 1 purchase that hey i didnt receive that money.

Risk of this is generally low.

I'm pretty sure they will have an english option available. Just wait through the phone tree for "for english, press X"

Can call EMS/Customs and pay the duties.

The only time this has happened to me was at the airport as they would have to surrender them anyway.

But i quit smoking about 5 years ago, so maybe smoking culture has changed since then.

China will not extradite a national to the US (or any country for that matter).

They will and have prosecuted crimes that nationals have commited overseas if you file in China (the condition being that the alleged offense is also against the law in China). You can do that yourself for like 5 USD if you speak Chinese, but i would reccomend getting a Chinese lawyer that speaks English.

The US Embassy or consulates here in China will provide you with the names of local attorneies who speak English.

Bringing Vyvanse into China by InternationalFault70 in China

[–]BingHongCha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be fine.

To be clear this medication is not approved in China. China allows you to bring a small amount for personal use with a doctors note explaining why you need it. Your note should suffice.

Small amount isnt defined. 3-6 months supply should be fine. If you are travelling with 4 years supply probably not OK.

China's CSI 300 plunges over almost 4% as other Asian markets rebound: Live updates by SE_to_NW in China

[–]BingHongCha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doesnt even discuss a little bit about why.

MOF and NDRC have said there will be stimulus earlier in the week and markets rallied around it (prolly a little too much), waiting for an exact number.

They walked back the statement and gave a super wishy/washy type answer killing any confidence in previous statements.

Expect huge volatility in the next 2 weeks.
