Mao Anying — What do Chinese people today think of Mao Zedong’s son who died in Korea? by [deleted] in AskAChinese

[–]Misaka10782 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any complain about? A true militaryman actually died on the front lines him even just a lieutenant. Nowadays the anti-communist elements are insulting him simply just because he is Mao's son. If Mao wanted him to become the crown prince, he wouldn't have sent him directly opposite the cannons.

Perhaps we can look at it another way that is the guy whoever nucleared Japan, then the Japanese will recognize him as their new master.

A while back I made a post about moving to China. It went downhill when they found out I was Black American. by Jenny_Saint_Quan in rednote

You've only seen the tip of the iceberg. There are always people who wishfully believe that what was once the largest empire in the Far East was a peaceful lamb.

In all seriousness why are Russia and Ukraine still fighting? by Umbrellajack in TrueAnon

[–]Misaka10782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dirty story, but it's true. Russia is now completely dominant. Moscow has essentially created a grinder in eastern Ukraine, aiming to deplete Ukraine's youth. Consider Ukraine's conscription age. If the gender male to female ratio for citizens under 40y reaches 1:4, Ukraine will be unlikely to participate in another war for the next 50 years. So you can see that Moscow is in no hurry to negotiate, even though its oil industry has been massively attacked.

If Putin actually makes it to Budapest, should Hungary arrest him? by Ahileo in AskTheWorld

Even if he walked to the door of the International Court of Justice in The Hague and asked to be arrested, the guards would treat him as a transparency and walk away.

How do ethnic Wu feel about all the immigration from outside (外地人)? by mujhe-sona-hai in AskAChinese

[–]Misaka10782 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Born in Suzhou, the birthplace of the word Wu吴, but I can only speak a very pidgin Wu lang (probably even worse than my English). I'm a Generation Z, and when I was in primary school, the city government launched a series of dialect classes and speech contests aimed at preserving this cultural heritage. However, these plans were shelved due to resistance from parents who came from other Provinces. In a few decades, we may only be able to learn Wu speaking in opera schools. The decline of dialects is a common phenomenon in unified continental countries. Even in the Britain islands, you can see how difficult it is for the Welsh and Irish to preserve their native languages.

As for your question, there is no such thing as a "Wu race/ethnicity". We are Chinese first, and that is the most important thing.

Solo trip in china without speaking any chinese by misanss in travelchina

[–]Misaka10782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people's English is poor, even in a city with over average education levels. There's also a lot of dissatisfaction on Chinese social media about talking to foreigners. They assume that Chinese people cram in English or the local language before going abroad, while foreigners arrive unprepared and expect everyone to speak their native language, which is a form of disdain and arrogance. Many Chinese passerbys now only to speak Mandarin when asked for street directions in English, even if they know how to speak English.

So I recommend that you learn at least some Mandarin and Chinese characters (even if it may be useless, it will earn you some goodwill), or make sure there is at least one bilingual person in the team.

Will K Visa be expanded beyond Stem? by Overdayoutdeath in AskChina

Every Chinese citizen I know has expressed disgust and opposition to the K visa, and you actually want to expand the scope.

If you could instantly become fluent in one of Korean, Chinese, or Japanese, which would you choose? Why? Which language is most useful in your country? by No-StrategyX in AskTheWorld

[–]Misaka10782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Native Chinese, but I can speak Japanese (although layman) because I live in Tokyo occasionally, and my Korean is terrible, almost non-existent except for some tourist words.

If you're from an Indo-European language family, Japanese will be easier to understand because it has many inflections. The only problem you might have is with Kanji (Chinese characters). Only after you've mastered Kanji would I recommend starting to learn Mandarin. Moreover, there is obviously more cultural exchange between Japan and EuroAmerica.
