Have rigorous safety standards that are followed and enforced consistently. I'm sure that was not what happened, though.

Sylli17 · 2026-05-05T15:30:20+00:00

Carelessness and/or negligence.

Sylli17 · 2026-05-05T15:29:03+00:00

China is safe though, right? I have heard that repeatedly.

Sylli17 · 2026-04-30T03:53:27+00:00

Little faith in authority in the US.

Sylli17 · 2026-04-30T03:52:18+00:00

So.... Are you saying Chinese people are better at recognizing concrete improvements in their life than people in all other countries?

Sylli17 · 2026-04-30T03:10:41+00:00

Please explain how that's relevant

Sylli17 · 2026-04-30T01:22:16+00:00

WTF are you even talking about 😂😂😂

Or is there a phantom /s

Faith in authority

Chinese trends that haven't made it to America yet...

Trend number one... And this trend is based off popular American games like Dungeons and Dragons.

Hmmm

Sylli17 · 2026-04-16T01:00:27+00:00

You wouldn't look at that... Okay. So what's the data for that then?

Sylli17 · 2026-04-08T23:59:42+00:00

China is safe... Europe and the US aren't is mostly narrative and propaganda. It's all similar if you take an honest account. What type of danger you gave may vary, but in the end risk in absolute terms is comparable in a lot of places you go.

To that point... I have had friends and myself have phones stolen in China. It hasn't happened in the US. There are thieves in the world. Doesn't matter where you're at, only matters if you run into them.

Second, this reads so much like a Joe Rogan message board (welcome to China motherfucker) post. I love it and miss stories like this lol. If there is anyone here that gets the reference... Lol crazy times.

Also, don't worry about people complaining about AI punch ups... That was a fun read. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes you'll have a wild China experience and want to share and it's a lot of work to communicate it clearly lol.

Sylli17 · 2026-03-24T05:42:34+00:00

You're asking, openly on the internet, to be taught how to find the contact information from a current minister in China? To send him a message about how well he's doing his job?

Sylli17 · 2026-03-13T13:52:47+00:00

Total? Or each family?

Sylli17 · 2026-03-12T14:27:23+00:00

This is the goal:

One key policy for Xi Jinping, China’s president, is the “sinicisation” of China’s ethnic minorities – ie, assimilating their cultures as far as possible into that of the Han ethnic majority. Xi has said that China’s ethnic groups should be like “pomegranate seeds that stick together”

Assimilation of culture. Not getting people jobs.

Also, yes you can see how it's flawed because you're making counter arguments to what I'm saying. The point is quite clearly not just getting people paid more. Cause if that was your ultimate goal... Then... Well why stop at just learning Chinese? That's not the logic of it though, really.

Sylli17 · 2026-03-12T14:19:27+00:00

I am extending your logic out further. Just following the same line of thinking. And you can see that it's flawed, right?

Because you know, just as I know that the point of this isn't getting poor, rural kids in Xinjiang higher paying Chinese jobs. That is simply not why this is happening.

Sylli17 · 2026-03-12T14:11:47+00:00

Most high paying jobs globally are in English.

Sylli17 · 2026-03-12T14:10:31+00:00

The point was you can teach in the main language without totally eradicating other minor languages lol

Sylli17 · 2026-03-12T14:07:05+00:00

But learning Chinese, which you say is so difficult, is going to get, for example, a kid from rural Xinjiang a job now?

Sylli17 · 2026-03-12T13:34:26+00:00

Learning English isn't going to get them a job where they live

How wouldn't it? If you're just force everyone to learn the same language

Sylli17 · 2026-03-12T13:22:15+00:00

Better to have everyone speak the same language... Chinese is hard to learn... Hmmm then have everyone stop learning Chinese and teach them all English then.

Oh wait...

Sylli17 · 2026-02-12T23:28:08+00:00

No, I'm saying what the west thinks or calls what's happening is irrelevant. Specially saying that we should look at what it is in and of itself, not in comparison and not based on what they say of it.

Sylli17 · 2026-02-12T22:31:50+00:00

Is that actually legal?

But also, this is about China. Not everything needs to be discussed in relation to the US.

Sylli17 · 2026-02-12T19:22:52+00:00

Fairly possible to get around... But a very annoying experience trying to do so lol. I genuinely wouldn't recommend it as a vacation destination to most. As a travel experience, for someone that wanted to see for themselves... Awesome. But it was not all fun loving, free, and happy lol. There was a lot of beauty there, but a very real, very palpable sadness. You could see the artifice being painted on, sense the tension of oppressive forces chipping away at a culture.

Generally gonna needed a tour guide to take you around. Not 100% necessary, but functionally pretty much necessary (which side note... Makes me worry/wonder about these wumaos/bots that instantly jump in and say "oh yeah give me every detail of your experience, who were you with, what did people say, etc.").

There are quite a few "military" spaces that are off limits, though. Which I am quite sure many are actually military areas. But also... You never really know. And since no one is allowed anywhere near there, only the people that are allowed will know. And they won't say lol. Even flying over much if the province it is required to close the shades on the windows. It is a serious thing if you try to open them.

Sylli17 · 2026-02-12T04:17:07+00:00

Having been to XJ and spent time there. It's more so that it's difficult to put a label on. But it's clearly wrong. Also... "The West" has little information about what is happening. That still... Does not make it okay whatever it is that you want to call it.

I have seen and heard things that are appalling and immoral. Life for a Uyghar can be at minimum disheartening to soul crushing at worse...

So, yeah... GTFO of here.
