              @[Deactivated]: As someone that has written in both simplified Chinese and Japanese which features kanji, god traditional is so much more of a pain to write than simplified. You can call it beautiful, but the purpose of language first and foremost is to facilitate communication. Traditional just takes so long to write on a traditional medium.

                @HentaiEnjoyer: Start using an alphabet, then!!!!

                All languages started as pictograms and developed into phonetic alphabets.

                Traditional Chinese is beautiful as it looks like something like what it is supposed to represent. Simplified is just a mess.

        China is basically at war with the West. Foreign journalists have been kicked out or have fled. It's a nasty place at the moment and they are trying to use 'soft diplomacy' to win over Western citizens.

              If we were China, we would have 5G and still complain the internet is slow. Truth is everything there is not in HD or 4K so their bandwidth usage is much lower. Its only the western world that is obsessed with picture quality. Wechat and everything else still sends images that are hundreds of kb.

                  If there is an example of press doing their job, much of the Uyghur criticisms come from a single source, someone who worked with China for many years and suddenly backflipped after being sponsored by the US. Why do they keep 'pushing' dubious sources then. Media are not doing their job they're only appeasing to their audience.

                    ABC is being cut back by the LNP who are backed by Murdoch.

                    ABC like many government organisations have been receiving "productivity" dividends for ages now. Spreading falsehoods that somehow only the ABC getting cut because of Murdoch is just false news.

                    much of the Uyghur criticisms come from a single source, someone who worked with China for many years and suddenly backflipped after being sponsored by the US

                    Can you link me to such reading, I've seen much of it and I've read and heard from a few media organisations citing many sources covering the Uyghur situation, not a single source as you state.

                @nanoxz: i know a lot of Chinese families with PhD's and none of them were tortured, not too sure which circles you run in, you don't sound very Chinese tbh

                  @abctoz: There are a lot of non-East Asian people pretending to be an East Asian person on the Internet to troll people. Sad bunch of hypocrites.

            @nanoxz: Having a PhD does not guarantee a good paying job. Just saying…

              @FrugalNotStingy: I understand. Now I am receiving fair pay. I am keeping leaning for a better future

        Why must one love what they were born into? If someone was born into an abusive family you wouldn't expect them to love the family. Something like "connected by blood", "original culture" does not mean it's loyalty binding.

          Of course one does not have to love what he were born into. I am talking about his loyalty to Australia not China.

            @RimofLeo: You know nothing about a toxic culture. Loyalty to a brutal country is not good at all. I would say if someone loves totalitarian China, go back to China.

              @nanoxz: If you pay off all the flight tickets and other costs (hotel, meal etc), I'd love to.

              @nanoxz: Wow, I really do not appreciate this kind of comments. Let me share my opinions:

              1. I am a Chinese and I love China as it is, at least throughout my 22 years ( 6 years of runny nose, 12 years of primary + high school education, 4 years of Uni), I have never been tortured whatsoever. Might have been bullied once or twice in school though.

              2. I chose to come to Australia not to exploit the country, I came simply because I love Australia too, same word but different types of affections, I love China as my home country, at the end of the day it bears 22 years of my memory.

              3. I acquired my PR in 2013 after my Master's degree, working as a well paid software engineer, serving an Australian company, paying my taxes just like everybody else does, but I wouldn't say I don't need the welfare Australia has to offer, or would I say I have offered more than I acquired. You do know (I assume the PhD is the degree not your equipment) welfare is not just centrelink money you get from the government right? It's medicare (incl. every behind the counter medicine you may have purchased over the years), it's the environment, in the water, in the air, in everything, in "Made in Australia" products.

              4. Why do I have to go back to China just because I love my home country? Who gave you the authority to command me to do this?

              Please pack your ignorance up and learn a few things and it might just make your PhD worth its title.

              My 2 cents.

                @hjbolide: if someone wasted his 20 years doing nothing else but propagating FLDF and spreading hate speeches in overseas and totally missed the economy booming in China, sold his properties before the price going up, he would hate China like fk without any choice - after had a few talks with broken FLDF people who stood next to China Town

                  @ToTheMoon: Yeah not gonna say anything about them, otherwise it would be like pressing and suppressing them.

                    @hjbolide: but I'm still laughing at the Master didn't make it through the deadly disease and the guy that wears high waisted trousers is yet to be brought to his global justice. lol

                      @ToTheMoon: Imagine he was the leader of Laos or some other small nations.

                      But, they probably wouldn't care about what he did anyway if that was the case.
