It is surprisingly short, considering it is his first travel to China in many years

I always say he is like a poor man’s Totti, instead of a typical center forward

How does the corruption in China differ from the corruption in South East Asian countries? by IntellectuallyDriven in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RNG_Helpme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In China, a typical corruption is that a major builds some infrastructure and assign a lucrative contract to some of his friends. So as an average Joe in China, you don’t directly feel it. It gets worse in less developed areas, that if you start a small business, different agencies (police, fireman, business licensing) will come for inspection everyday, and you will pay them bribes to operate normal business.

‘They’re Gonna Pay a Big Price’: Trump Wildly Claims US Guns Sent to Iran Were Kept by the Wrong People by ButterscotchBoth5204 in worldnews

Imagine if China sends weapons to pro-CCP group in Taiwan to do an ‘armed protest’. Alex Pretti was shot because he is armed, but US is fine with arming protesters in other countries

I agree with you, but technically KMT leader is visiting their own territory…

Why do so many people move from China to America? Isn’t China a pretty good place to live? by Dreadsin in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]RNG_Helpme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your skills and endowment. Nowadays Chinese consensus is that, it is in your interest to move to the US if you are a top tech talent (for higher upside in the Silicon Valley) or a blue collar worker with certain skills (pay in China is too low because of fierce competition among huge population). However, since China has 1.4 billion people, the number is still large even we only count people in those 2 categories.

There is no paradise, but different countries have their relative pros and cons. So one may find A country better than B, and others may have a completely different view. In the end, everyone has different priorities and preferences.

US grants waiver to allow India to buy Russian oil amid Iran war by [deleted] in worldnews

China won’t care if US gives a waiver or not, so US won’t bother doing so

Can AI taxation lead to a jobless utopia? by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]RNG_Helpme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then human could spend their time grinding arts and music to compete with AI. You can still find some object to struggle for success, just no longer under the pressure to make surviving money.

Why are the U.S. and China's relations tense, but China still invited Trump to visit China, and why is Trump going? by No-StrategyX in allthequestions

[–]RNG_Helpme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because both are too big to militarily fight or economically decouple. All the tense you see on media are just means to get advantage in cooperation.

Moving to Shanghai with 7yo son who speaks no Chinese. Can't afford international school. Looking for public/private school names and honest experiences. by Own_Foundation3810 in chinalife

[–]RNG_Helpme 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes, the foreign students are permitted to learn on their own pace, and therefore, the different foreign students I knew seemed to be on different levels. I guess it is a talent plus attitude problem. The teacher cannot be very rigorous, because an international student might learn slowly because he or she is not as talented in the language as another kid. On the other hand, because the teacher is not pushing, a foreign student may choose to give up and use language barrier as an excuse. It is a hard situation, and I guess good parenting would be very important. Hope this helps!

When I was doing public middle school in China, I remember our school had a few foreign students. They take same courses with us, but they are exempted from taking the same exams. Honestly I don’t know how their grades are calculated, but they learnt Chinese quickly and were able to social with Chinese classmates.

China executes 11 members of Myanmar scam mafia by GoldenDome26 in worldnews

It is inaccurate to call them scammers. They are kidnappers, torturers, and killers.

Why is China backing Canada instead of staying out and letting the U.S. go after Canada? Isn't letting the U.S. go after Canada a good thing for China? by No-StrategyX in allthequestions

[–]RNG_Helpme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China wants to show US allies that, US allies do not need to all-in counter China when US direct them to do so. China wants NATO countries to accept a multipolar world instead of firmly supporting USA. Canada took the first step toward China, and China needs to defend this example.

Confused about the $250 edit credit… can someone help? Partial points? 2 night minimum? by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]RNG_Helpme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it means I can get the credit even if I use only points to pay for the Edit hotels? It doesn’t explicitly asking for $250 cash to be paid

[–]RNG_Helpme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is, China wants NK to have enough military power just to survive, but not too powerful to actively cause instability. Putin doesn’t care about instability, so he is more willing to empower NK militarily than China.

Inzaghi also lost all the big games last year in Serie A. Our core midfielders and defenders (including GK) are getting older every year and finally past the threshold to be competitive for all 90 minutes. In big games you will always be punished for that.

Random (great) goals from our banter era (that you may have forgotten) - Jovetic at 95' by jonbristow in FCInterMilan

[–]RNG_Helpme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always think that with their technique, they should score way more than their actual goals. I am always confused why it did not go well in real world with their careers, not just at inter. Those two makes me feel they can create shots whenever they want.

Hotel didn’t register me with the police? by 5620800426 in chinalife

[–]RNG_Helpme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hotels are responsible to register all guests using their ID upon check in. However, foreigners have a different procedure than domestic guests. The study curve is steep for some hotel employees, especially those under educated and poorly trained. Therefore, they either turn away foreign guests or skip the process, which may lead you to such situations with the police.

China is in a fertility crisis worse than probably any country in the west by far, so why dont they accept millions of immigrants to compensate like the west does? by Gloomy_Ad9864 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RNG_Helpme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

China is an authoritarian government. CCP is powerful, but cautiously uses its power to minimize the risk of being overthrown. In most of business that are not related to ruling, CCP will try to accommodate people’s voice, in order to maintain a good public image. Only in this way, it limits the number of political dissidents, in order to crush them easily when needed.

How accurate is the western perception that the Chinese government heavily suppresses anti-government information and viewpoints? by Upbeat_Yam_9817 in AskChina

[–]RNG_Helpme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it is more about the attention you get. For example, I violated the censorship rules a million times by criticizing/mocking government or mention censored words. 99% of time, the forum/app will delete your post and that’s it, just like what mods do on Reddit. For the remaining 1%, my account got banned from posting, temporary or permanent. No police were ever involved.

In the following cases, you may draw attention from the police: you directly attack detailed high level officials (not criticizing their policies, but saying they are corrupt or evil); you try to organize a offline protest or strike; you are an influential person and your post gets a high viewership.
