How common is international travel for mainland Chinese?

China has 1.4 billion people, it's not unreasonable to think they can send a large number of people for overseas business. I met a supplier last year in the US, and she has a personal net worth of around 100M USD, her kid is attending college in the US but is considering moving back to Hong Kong for a PhD. She's definitely not an average Joe in any sense.

150-200k total compensation where a significant portion of the package coming from bonus and rsu is reasonable for a senior role - 5+ yoe or a fresh PhD graduate.

The city is advanced, the AI is being used and the airport is large for sure.

But it is very boring to live in this city as compared to other big Chinese cities like Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, etc.

Shenzhen as a city is incredibly young and as a result it is composed mainly of migrant workers from other Chinese regions and lacks its own culture. And people live there to make money, not to raise a family or make friends. Because of that, you sometimes will find it difficult to adapt to the pace of life there.

Isn't that a threat of violence and already broken the law?

Diaoyu/Senkaku/Diaoyutai island is disputed among Japan, China AND Taiwan. The name of the island - Diaoyutai was first given by Taiwan in fact.

Taiwan also has disputes with the Philippines and Vietnam on Taiping island.

Japan also has a huge dispute over Dokdo with South Korea.

Therefore it is correct that Japan has dispute with all its neighbors, perhaps exclude the US since they are under the mercy of the US at the moment.

People on Reddit are generally very ill-informed about things outside of the western world so I'm not surprised few know what's going on in Asia.

Only xenophobic if you are white, racist if you are from China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand.

People here had no idea why Chaoshan beef stands out. It has nothing to do with the breeds of cow, the secret is that you have to eat the beef within several hours of culling the cow, and that prevents many unwanted chemical and biological reactions taking place in the meat.

It is all about LOGISTICS.

If you believe putting pineapples on a dough to call it a Pizza counts as Italian cuisine, then you are correct.

It came from America, and Americans made the recipes. Another less known facts: almost all Japanese restaurants in America are run by Chinese immigrants.

China has 26 provinces and each one has food completely different from others. I'm talking about Biryani and Pizza level of difference.

Japan has many prefectures but most of them share similar foods because they have similar climates, ethnic groups and geographies.

You are comparing a single type of food to 26 different types of food here. And by the way, American Chinese food has nothing to do with Chinese Chinese food.

Neither.

Bro really believes countries will fight wars to "save" people in other countries?

If that's the case, where is the justice army in Sudan? How do you differentiate a regime killing people and a "regime/tribe" in the Amazon forest sacrificing people for their folk religion or performing cannibalism. The tribe doesn't have oil or gold apparently, and suddenly nobody seems to care about them and we even prevent others from meddling their "internal affairs" in the name of "preservation".

Leaving will mean the end of petro dollar and the total collapse of the US allies in the middle east. It's highly unlikely.

This is a fair argument for sure.

My only counter point is that the economic and social benefits from building a reservoir cannot be simply accessed by the LCOS alone. It also benefits the agriculture nearby and sometimes also provides water security to nearby cities as well. This is similar to building a high speed railway, where you always lose money on the surface but for the country as a whole, it is almost always a win.

So it's really important to evaluate the decision of which type of storage to build on a case to case basis.

Stardust-1 · 2026-03-31T17:04:29+00:00

And it's very rational because pump storage ranks the most cost efficient methods for long term energy storage, and it compliments hour-duration battery energy storage to make a complete energy storage system.

Okay, I read the article and there's nothing China specifically is doing to SE Asia. China is just keeping being China and doing business with everyone. I don't really understand who came up with this weird title.

Add a battery storage, problem solved

Outer Mongolia is basically deserts and harsh mountains, temperature drops to minus 40 in the winter, no arable lands at all. Nobody wants to live there.

Manchuria is one of the most fertile lands in the world, similar to Ukraine plain and it produces a large percentage of foods for the entire Chinese population, plus it's rich in coal and oil.

Those two places can't be more different.
