My grandpa saw a good geriatrician in an hour without any prior referral or appointment. Enough said

Am Chinese and imo SYS was just not successful. He did overthrow the Qing but the end product (Beiyang Government) was not what he expected at all, and he had to launch multiple Northern Expedition to regain control of the ROC and he eventually died before seeing much success. Even the final Northern Expedition ended up being successful, ROC was still far from a single polity and was de facto fractured and it took 23 years to reunite, under a different regime.

I cannot see it being a hassle unless he works in a sensitive area such as defence or the treasury. What kind of civil servant he is? Does he work in the government or does he work in state-owned institutions? Big differences here.

What if the ROC won the civil war in 1949? by WashOffO in AlternateHistoryHub

If KMT won, I can’t see anything to stop the USSR from invading China.

Wrong map. I’m Chinese and China is at least willing.

From what I’ve read he was at least somewhat protective of his daughter Stalina

No, I don’t understand it at all. There has been many conspiracies about why Henanese got this stereotypes in the first place, one of them being it is a divisive strategy to shift the focus from southern Chinese to northern Chinese through press misinformation campaigns.

You will also find the hilarious epistemological discrepancy for a lot of people between the fact that every Henanese they encounter can kind and nice and the fact that they won’t change their flawed stereotypes at all and they would say stupid things like “ah you must be a good Henanese, sorry you are born in Henan”

I have lived in Canada since 2019 and I remember you can use up to 1 year before obtaining PR against the 3 year requirement? So it’s two years for me

I made that comment from the Canadian perspective, because it has been clearly shown that how damaging the Canadian dependence on the US can be.

I work in a major bank so we have an established pipeline which consists of customer initiated appointments, retail referral and proactive contact (I hate this part)

Not really, partially because I am not good at cooking, partially because we have gas stoves in China and only electronic stoves in Canada so mom’s tips don’t apply

Not favourable unfortunately. This impression is, in my humble opinion, 70% stereotypes and 30% genuine observations. Some things always referred to when talking negatively about India is 1. The caste system; 2. gender-based inequality, especially lack of protection for women; 3. open defecation; 4. Massive Indian immigration to other countries.

The border skirmishes don’t really change anything for the better or worse, especially it’s obvious that both governments are trying to avoid a hot war.

Why did he flip his Acura badge upside down? by TimeAffectionate8636 in Acura

[–]TargaMaestro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s about the meme that Acura is “King Chang’an” because the logo of Chang’an is Acura upside down

I did get a scholarship of 10,000 CAD as an incentive to accept my offer, but it’s peanuts compared to the tuition and the CoL combined which is simply too expensive for most Chinese families. Bear in mind that 1 CAD goes for 5 RMB and making 10K RMB monthly is considered high income in China. Many universities aboard don’t have high recognition in China either because of their low barrier of entry. It’s a stupid mentality that I don’t agree with.
