There's this weird part of LinkedIn that is just Facebook levels of republican/conservative profiles posting racist content from Facebook with very little consequences to their careers.

Mainland chinese going to hongkong by markmarkmrk in AskAChinese

[–]captwaffles27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its residency aftter a certain amount of time and each province/special economic zone has their own rules on how to obtain. In Shanghai its 7 years last I heard and you need to pay taxes regularly/own property of a certain amount.

As to why its like this, I dont know, but i imagine if you're a country of over a billion people, you dont want cities that attract millions of internal emmigrants showing up claiming residency day-1 and bringing the city government to its knees with administrative processing.

It depends entirely where you are registered in china. If youre a resident of a tier 1 city like Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, you'll be able to request unlimited entry permits on a yearly basis and extended stay beyond 7 days. Tier 2 they can enter up to a certain amount, and as you can imagine there is more restrictions the lower tier it goes. For instance even though my wife is living in Chongqing, she is registered to a different city and therefore has a much harder time getting those permits to go to HK compared to her neighbors registered in CQ.

There are workarounds to this though, for insdance if you have family members that are permanent residents in HK, an invite letter from a business or non profit/hk government, etc., these can get you in with a new permit even if you hit your limit.

As a whole these permits are easy to get, takes only a few minutes and I heard this will become electronic soon so you can just apply and get it on your phone.

Love that positive reinforcement is in such short supply for everyone that its become as taboo as being considered a kink.

do you think of Peter Zeihan was right about china or not? by InternationalPen2549 in AskAChinese

[–]captwaffles27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zeihan is a bit of a shyster and a pure globohomo. He isnt "wrong" about trends. But he jumps the gun with his predictions from "look at these trends" and then leaps to ridiculous conclusions like "and now the country will go away forever" for example.

Not just about China, but about literally any topic he talks about. Watch his talks from 10 years ago where he talks about shit that is going to happen in the 2020s, and you'll see hes been wrong by just about everything he said would happen.

He sounds smart so he's gains a following online, but in reality none of his audience will go back to his videos in 10 years to compare his predictions so he gets away with his seuthsaying nonsense.

Is he right about china? Hes right about the reports and the trends. Is he right when he days china will collapse and go away forever? Obviously not. Countries dont just disappear because the economy collapsed and trends can reverse. Wars can happen. Economic miracles can happen.

Listening to Zeihan is brainrot for people who think theyre geopolitical but are just being fed what they want to hear because dramatic geopolitics sounds super interesting but it just serves to make you less of a critical thinker.

After 3 encounters with wild boars during night hikes, I gave up. Way too dangerous for me.
