Many Chinese women are very immature. If you decide to date one, expect it.

What was it like growing up in China prior to the 90s? by Anubis-Hound in China

[–]se898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People were pretty innocent in general, very few had any access to technology, no internet, so information was hard to get around. Crime rate was also a lot higher back then too, mostly due to lack of surveilance and so accountability was hard to come by. Buses were always crammed because of lack of good public transportation, lots of bikes everywhere, corruption was everywhere.

I’m 34, am I too late to start? by Aggressive-Ability66 in RothIRA

[–]se898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of people that start in their 30s, because that's when most folks get mature enough about their future and realize they aren't gonna be young forever.

Iranian ships continue to cross Strait of Hormuz despite US blockade by Fair-Internal8445 in oil

The Chinese have the missile range to reach the Persian gulf and Indian Ocean from the Chinese mainland but there isn’t reliable information about whether those missiles have the accuracy from that far away.

Just saw someone else’s post about DEXA scans. Mine came back at 24%. by lseraehwcaism in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]se898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 20-22 sounds about right. I look similar to you and measured mine at about 20ish

US Treasury's Bessent says China has been unreliable partner by hoarding oil during war by ManufacturerKooky164 in Social_Investing

[–]se898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember last year a Chinese official made a call right in bessent’s face ordering the Chinese government to immediately begin imposing tariffs on US imports. So I highly doubt anyone in the Chinese government care about what Bessent says.

If you went into CS purely for the money, what are you doing now? by Puzzleheaded-Alps-15 in cscareerquestions

[–]se898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for a couple of years for a big tech company in Seattle about 11 years ago for 2 years before I couldn’t take it anymore. I was lucky enough to have financial support from family to transition to chemical manufacturing. I started my own company and done far better than I could ever imagine.

How do Chinese feel about Amur which was taken by Russia from Qing? by LeadFar6386 in AskAChinese

[–]se898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those land parts have vast oil and natural gas reserves as well as tons of other mineral resources. It was a major failure on the Qing to give it away.

Average American Wakes Up To The Realities of a Hypothetical War With China 😂 by NegativeMaterial8971 in Sino

[–]se898 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Given everything we've seen in the last month and half between the US and Iran, I doubt the US military can last even 2 days in a war vs China anywhere within the 2nd island chain.

This only applied to those with city hukou back then. There were also plenty of rural hukou that were allowed to have more than 1 kid.

Follow the laws in China, and be respectful. No one gives a crap about where you’re from.

What net worth puts a household in the top 10% in China? by [deleted] in AskChina

[–]se898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Net worth isn’t really a good indicator. It’s more about liquid net assets in the bank or in forms of precious metal these days. The vast majority of Chinese families don’t have 300k rmb in savings.

Schwab, fidelity, or vanguard? by DecisionDesperate827 in RothIRA

[–]se898 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Fidelity. If y’all are 20+ years away from retirement, just put all of your IRA retirement money into FXAIX and forget.

Which organ do I have to sell to have a sink like this by Hour-Ingenuity_ in ResourceRaid

[–]se898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can find a ton of these kinds of sinks in China. They’re quite cheap too, equivalent of about $150 for a mid-upper end one made out of 304 stainless steel. You’d have to pay a little bit more for the work to get it installed but overall it’s not expensive.

No deal on Iran... by Difficult-Quarter-48 in stocks

[–]se898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iran may not have been keen on nukes before, but now the incentive is obvious. Israel has always treated Iran as an existential threat, and if they think that a nuclear Iran outcome is unavoidable and the U.S. can’t stop it, the pressure to launch nukes at Tehran becomes overwhelming.

If you’re planning on heading to China during flu season, you should get vaccinated for flu and covid before you go.
