Folks, the liberalism, many people, more and more people, they're saying you have to combat it.
Damn Chinese people really be reading books? In the subway? And it's Mao they're reading? :xi-pog:
Apparently it's really hard to get citizenship or even permanent residency in China. There are under 1500 naturalized citizens and permanent residency requires either $1.5M in investments or at least triple the average salary for your city (with some exceptions for spouses and some very high level positions).
According to the FSI learning Mandaring takes about 4 times as long as learning Spanish and 3 times as long as learning German (for native English speakers).
Sometimes I think English literacy is the closest you can get in a letter based language to a character based language.
This is because learning English requires a lot of memorization. For example in English every vowel letter has more than one sound. An egregious example is how all vowel letters can make the schwa sound. In contrast, Spanish or Indonesian language have more standardized spelling. Letters generally make predictable sounds in those languages.
Yeah I took it in high school but didn't study very hard and haven't used it since, and it's depressing how little I learned and how much less I retained.
it’d be cool if the cpc would have some kind of asylum program for theory reading westerners who want to escape capitalism, seems win win, get some more actual marxists in the party
Holy the chauvinism in this quote.
Of course the largest and most successful ML party on Earth isn't full of "actual marxists". It needs to bring in more white westerners who proclaim themselves to be "actual Marxists" to not only live there, but be involved in governance.
Never mind that Western Marxists don't understand the material or social conditions in China (or even speak Chinese). China has nothing to gain from importing objectively the least successful tendency of Marxism. If it needed more people it'd be better off inviting people from Cuba, the former the USSR, Vietnam, etc.
This is like looking at the Black Panthers or BLM and going "man, they should really invite more white people, who are the real anti-racists."
Fuck right off.
What socialist countries? In China people study communism in all stages of education, from school to doctorate.
USA when the youths put President Xi on trial: :capitalist:
USA when the youths put him on trial for being a dirty capitalist roader and revisionist liberalizer: :porky-scared:
Yeah, after Hong Kong, western support of any kind is going to hurt any Chinese movement more than it helps.
I mean it's weird, I want to scream ALL POWER TO THE JASIC STRIKERS from the top of my lungs every day, but will almost immediately be subject to the (I am not kidding) "locust song" from petty boug HK assholes, and then on the other end the wheedling about "developing forces of production!!!!1!!" by the same kind of bastards that tell you "just you wait, change is around the corner!"
Some days I suffer from that infantile disorder of ultra-ism, but fuck, do something informed by your political theories, goddamn
Gigabrain Deng playing 5d weiqi by introducing the contradictions of capitalism artificially while hiding his power level and pulling a "just as planned" 20 years after his death :xicko:
Goddamn that commenter sounds depressed as fuck. Wonder how young Chinese feel when the CPC is boasting about poverty elimination while they're struggling to make ends meet.
