Official Website of confirmation
Where did I mention Australia, Einstein?
Where do you live now Einstein? Why do you live there and not in China if you think it's better?
Think, speak..
Indeed…
@1st-Amendment: Lmao you're not ok
No where did I mention what country i was referring to, unless you think that's Australia.
Well that's on you lmao.
More assumptions, i never wrote i thought it was better. Karen level rebuttals.
No where did I mention what country i was referring to,
Neither did I. Think, speak…
Well that's on you lmao.
But you live in Australia right? Am I right, yes or no? So I ask again, if you prefer China to Australia why not move there?
More assumptions, i never wrote i thought it was better.
"Yeh I much prefer"
You literally said that you think that China is better than some place with "school shootings, tent cities, crumbling infrastructure". So you think China is better than that place. It's exactly what you said, Einstein.
Think, speak… just like Einstein… Einstein…
@1st-Amendment: Lmao more nonsense.
So i don't mention Australia but you keep referring to Australia.
Nice one. Keep up it up.
So i don't mention Australia but you keep referring to Australia.
That's how conversations work. People use different words to communicate ideas otherwise it wouldn't be a conversation, it would be people chanting the same phrase over and over at each other.
The other thing people do in conversations when their dumb idea is exposed is lame attempts is deflection, exactly like you are doing now.
Nice one. Keep up it up.
Oh I will, don't worry about that. My hobby is exposing poorly thought out ideas, and you are providing plenty of material.
You gwailo speak Mandarin?
Some Mandarin and Cantonese :) sometimes both in the same sentence :D
Yes. Respect the laws and customs of a place you visited. Not hard really
Tell that to the Uyghurs.
@Agent Q: I visitied Xinjiang last July and did exactly what you've said and they thought I was an idiot.
Exact same could be said about going to London for 15 days.
If you don't do shit, you won't get shit
Can have exceptions like wrong place wrong time
But that can happen anywhere in the world.
Good thing about being in china would be, there would be so many cameras around
@abs898: Foreigners are getting stabbed at an alarming rate over there. The government likes to hush everything up and pretend theres nothing wrong and the place is the safest. Cameras won't do jack for you when you're lying in a pool of your own blood and everyone is staring at you because nobody wants to get involved. Better hope you aren't mistaken for an American over there, they literally teach their kids in school that the US and Japan are their enemy. nasty ass government.
Yes. Hard for dinner people to understand
Free advice. When visiting another country, respect their culture, their people, don’t break the law especially don’t be a (profanity) and you will be fine.
What are your thoughts on mandatory bribes?
Ah har! Liberal and Labour. But you are not good enough to be part of their games.
@Poor Ass, happen too much in Australia for my liking.
True but some bogans don't think laws and rules don't apply to then in other countries
Double negative - so the bogans do think laws apply to them?
What a bargain, it even includes a free prison sentence for spying too!
Or you better not publish US war crimes, that could land you 12 years in prison here at home.
Thank God! Assange is free now!
It's great news, although Journalism is dead.
@linxi5774: Yes, Cheng Lei agrees. So do thousands of journalists and lawyers lodged in Chinese prisons doing forced labour.
Or you better not publish US war crimes,
The charge was not merely 'publishing' that is what the ignorant people try brush it off as because they are ignorant. It was 'Conspiracy to Obtain and Disclose National Defense Information' which means he was actively engaged in breaching 'National Defense' systems, also known as espionage.
So, there is no legal way to expose war crimes. I felt bad for those innocent people who were killed.
@1st-Amendment: I don't know how to make sense to you. Since you use '1st Amendment' as your username, do you have any suggestions for exposing war crimes while not getting charged? Or should we wait till the US declassify their war crimes that happened 50 years ago?
do you have any suggestions for exposing war crimes while not getting charged?
The same way everyone else does it? How do you think that happens now?
Or should we wait till the US declassify their war crimes
Well one way NOT to do it is espionage. Funny that you don't seem to like crime but your solution to that is more crime…
@1st-Amendment: Mate, you could be the Spokesperson of the US Department of State. There is no point in continuing this conversation. let's end here.
There is no point in continuing this conversation. let's end here.
You could've ended it one comment earlier, but here you are…
@linxi5774: How do you know there was a war crime existing if no any serious reports or investigations were published? Don’t tell me China has a real journalist could reports any negative news to public.
@freeman: Why are you asking me? There is one man who just did that and sacrificed 12 years of his freedom exposing war crimes. GO ASK HIM. And not just Chinese journalists, I don't think any other journalist from any country dares to uncover the nasty stuff that the US has done.
You will only have a voice when trump goes to jail for taking and not returning top secret files.
12 years in western prison is way better than Chinese labour camps or firing squad for the same crime.
If they can jail doctors/journalists for speaking out about Covid, I wonder what they will do to a person for revealing military secrets.
Corporate medias are essentially government mouthpiece these days. We are the most heavily propagandize people in the world
Who are these "we"?
yeah yeah keep talking shit
Go live over there then my little Mao fan. No one's stopping you
Go and live in the US my little Trumper
If you think China is unsafe (whick I kinda agree in some degree), consider Taiwan, a perfect place to visit
Weirdo
Most truth doesn't sound sweet.
@bdl: Looks like an unintended consequence of the Taiwan/CCP situation, and Kong Kong finally being given back to China. You'd think a combination of the world's greatest bureaucratic systems would deal with things like this pretty quickly. Looks like there are no easy answers though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Hong_Kong_extradition_bil…
@bdl: You probably need to ask some local Taiwanese people how their death sentence going in recent years, most of criminals just got away with it "legally".
We don’t have death sentence the same logic applies?
No death penalty + Underage stabbing = Even worse…
I can’t think of a single to go to Taiwan over China, more expensive, worse infrastructure/tourism and it certainly isn’t safer
Have you actually been or based on the fake news on Chinese TikTok.
Lmao you obviously haven't been to Taiwan or China by the sounds of it.
I have been, and after doing so I have no clue why anyone would go to Taiwan over it for a holiday
Taiwan is cheaper for a holiday
Major cities in China are quite expensive but cheaper compare to Aus
Taiwan is awesome. Tradition blended with modernity, amazing food, lush nature, mountains, friendly people, and no dystopian state monitoring you.
Taiwan is great. For a trip, I prefer Taiwan than the PRC. One problem with the PRC is that it is over populated.
They are trying to push the narrative of China being safe huh?
Try not to get stabbed there too
Yeah, I would avoid Westfield Bondi Junction too.
Yeah when the government pushes that Amerians and Japanese are a problem you end up with lots of knife attacks. These attacks arent documented. Look at the recent bus one. There's no mention of Japanese in their official news, I wonder why.
Anyways, the threat level for travelling to China has increased and there's a reason for it.
Are you talking about the 200+ mass shootings that have happened in America this year?
Lmao
Your best option might be avoiding any western countries including Australia.
Ignorance is your best friend.
People like you can stay in your comfort zone, but spreading disinformation and misinformation is pretty low.
China is much safer than the US.
Thats a hard one to prove, due to the government hiding and censoring anything bad that happens there. people can't even leave flowers near tragedies, the cops come and take them away. good luck getting proper numbers out of the CCP.
China is much safer. They had 0 covid cases during the pandemic!
@FishBurgers: Anyways if you want a rocket accidentally firing into your backyard it’s a good country to go to
Id rather avoid west Taiwan thanks.
West or Taiwan
Taiwan was never a country. That geographical area is officially called Republic of China according to it's own "constitution".
Taiwan is a country. It's the civilised version of China, but entirely distinct from the mainland (as a consequence of communist rule, sadly).
LOLOL.. Your username checks out.
@bchliu: Anyone with half a brain can deduce the reason one country is liberal and wealthy, where the other is totalitarian (and on its way to dystopian) and stalling at middle income.
@JohnHowardsEyebrows: Wealthy lmao, you obviously haven't stepped foot in either country.
Arm chair commentator.
"Civilised" - Meanwhile Taiwanese politicans literally beat woman in parliament LMAO
@TightAl: Taiwanese parliament has always been savage. I'd rather politicians fighting each other than news reporters like Cheng Lei disappearing for random reasons that displeasure Chairman Xi. The irony is that people like you defend a regime who would disappear you in an instant if you criticised them, but happily do it from the comfort of a civilised country you criticise.
I've been to both countries (and thanks for acknowledging they're distinct countries). PRC was creepy and weird (but fascinating all the same). Taiwan felt like Singapore but without the Anglophone influence.
@JohnHowardsEyebrows: KMT lost the majority, actually hilarious. Don't worry Taiwanese are literally waking up and seeing how useless their government is.
I haven't citicised Australia, nor have i criticised China but it's not surprising you see assume any comment that is against yours that way lmao.
'weird' 'creepy' lol such wow.
@TightAl: Taiwanese is waking up that’s correct, and realising they are Taiwanese. No longer identify them self as Chinese. 70% have nothing to do with China and don’t want anything to do with China.
All the stuff you are saying are what’s been fed in Chinese TikTok.
Taiwanese don’t care about what the Chinese thinks. As a matter of fact they don’t want anything to do with China. It’s China that keeps on stalking Taiwan like a stalker.
@TightAl: Stop talking nonsense. Taiwan is wealthy compare to China. China is not just Beijing and Shanghai.
Coming from ex premier Li Keqiang. 600m people have income of $120 usd a month.
@spc12go: Why do the average Chinese have better meat consumption than Korea Japan and Taiwan (a rebel province from China)
@salin: Because there is a very large vegetarian population in Taiwan. Look it up! In fact it is a vegetarian friendly place to visit.
I know because my mom and her friends are all vegetarian.
@spc12go: I would like to note that Mainland China has the highest average vegetable consumption globally.
Additionally, the significant vegetarian population in Taiwan is deeply rooted in Chinese Buddhism culture.
@salin: You just said meat consumption and now it’s vegetable? You can’t have both. It’s one or another.
Or you implying they are a bunch of fat ass that just over consume everything?
It is NOT Chinese Buddhism. It’s Toasim.
Majority of Taiwanese believe in Toasim not buddisim. That’s why temple is everywhere.
You obviously have no idea about the Taiwanese.
By the way your info is wrong.
Here is the correct info. China meat consumption
60.6kg per person 2020 Taiwan 77.57kg
South Korea 70.71, Japan 49.33kg
Japan is a country that consumes more fish for their protein.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_meat_co…
Stop looking for info from Baidu, check Wikipedia. Baidu us censorted like the rest of China. Distort information everything is a China No1
@Ants92:
That answers my question, just not in the way you expected…
