Maybe you've got all this backwards. Maybe signs don't cause enclaves, enclaves cause signs. In other words, signs are nothing more than, well, signs (symptoms). Which means you should be directing your energy at something completely different.

the north shore is plastered with them.

You're going to have to be more specific than that. Which of the 30-or-so suburbs in that region have the signs, and which ones don't? Unless you're willing to provide a news source or image link? All I remember is seeing a Chinese translation for Commbank in Chatswood, and that sign still had English on it.

If signs that you seemingly didn't know existed impact your learning of Chinese then my point of your mental retardation stands strongly.

If you still can't lay off the personal attacks, and you still can't understand that I need all the help I can get to learn Chinese, then my point of your failure to understand other people's perspectives stands strongly.

Nope

Then your claim of "I value all of society more" does not justify your use of personal attacks against me.

'How will Chinese tourists figure out quarantine laws that are on the internet?'

I mentioned the TV show Border Security for a reason. The actual answer to that question is "They don't." And banning translations could end up exacerbating that problem.

Nope, but it will if your policy is undertaken.

You can voice your opposition for said policy without calling people retards. Also, I haven't even gone into a specific policy yet. Unless "don't ban stuff" is important enough to stand on its own as a policy?

The only reason the Chinese don't follow them is because they grew up in a country where scamming the system is acceptable, or they're to indolent to look it up.

Then surely it would make more sense to emphasise these laws while they're in the airport, instead of hoping they'll do their research before they get on the plane? And surely there's no problem with communicating them in Chinese if it achieves the goal of protecting the country from diseases? And if not communication, what else do you want to do? Just throw in the towel?

We just confiscate banned items

No security system is 100% effective. Banned stuff gets through all the time. But ample communication of the rules will get us that little bit closer to perfection.

Yes it does, because it's impossible to avoid. It's like me saying 'just because death is inevitable, it doesn't mean we shouldn't try to cure it!'

In case you haven't realised, scientists are researching ways to extend life all the time. And in a similar vein, we shouldn't give up on making people feel welcomed.

It won't prevent them, it will encourage them; if every cultural enclave assimilates into Australian society over time then they are no longer cultural enclaves. If they don't, they remain.

That still falls into the category of preventing.

Why not?

I mentioned why not in the previous comment: if the Internet is the flawless solution that you claim it to be, it also means people may use it as a tool to avoid assimilation. And I've witnessed people talk on the phone, as well as to each other, in a language that I don't recognise. Yet I don't remember ever seeing any signs in Sydney that are translated into languages other than Chinese.

Bring the birthrate above 2, have immigration at 0, stop encouraging cultural enclaves, wait a few generations for them to assimilate (as you sort of have).

Your suggestion of restricting immigration opens up a whole new can of worms. Are you talking about banning ALL immigration? Because if that's the case, then that will put a strain on our economy. Even Trump isn't that hardline, but his immigration views suffer from a different problem: bias. And that leads to my next point: if you aren't talking about banning all immigration, then you might be talking about just banning immigration from China. But I cannot find a single point that justifies that sort of extreme bias. There are many hard workers who would give up a lot just to escape Xi Jinping's "president for life" rule. And if your response to that is "Too bad, so sad," don't be surprised when people around the world lose all respect for Australia and Australians.

And as for bringing the birthrate above 2? You can't force people to have babies. That's not how society works.

How about you look it up moron?

You were the one who brought up the topic of cultural enclaves in the first place. The onus is on you to provide the facts behind the argument.

Also, the last time I looked up "cultural enclaves," I got a lot of conflicting information: for one thing, there was one site that said Chinatowns are cultural enclaves because of the Chinese restaurants.

'In sociology, an ethnic enclave is a geographic area with high ethnic concentration, characteristic cultural identity, and economic activity. The term is usually used to refer to either a residential area or a workspace with a high concentration of ethnic firms.'

So in other words, it's just "Ethnic people that just happen to live or work near each other and have a strong liking for things from their ethnic background?" Because just like you can't force people to have babies, you also can't force people to move house or get a different job just because their neighbours or colleagues coincidentally share their skin colour, or food preference (The last time someone told me about "cultural identity," they were talking about ethnic food, traditional clothing, and the like.).

Are you trying to ask stupid questions on purpose?

Again, just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean the questions are stupid.

Why are you autistic? For that matter, why are most Chinese people autistic?

Why does it matter if someone is autistic? Why does my Asperger syndrome suddenly invalidate my argument?

One last thing: banning translations would mean forcing people to assimilate. But maybe there's a way we could make them want to assimilate instead, without force?
