I feel you, wear that badge with pride. I wish I was based enough to get one too.

Tankie influencer is so based honestly.

Gotta sell tanks on XiaoHongShu now.

Didn't .world admins make a new rule to enforce flat-earthism? Maybe they are also enforcing transphobia now...

I'll do it if they give me a work visa (please)

That last comment in the image is completely surreal, every westerner who goes to China says that it's one of the best country they've been to.

It's like those people actually live in a virtual bubble totally disconnected from the real world.

Thank you so much, I didn't expect to get such an extensive response!

I did start learning tones with Duolingo but found it pretty hard so far, and my mental health has been going down way too much to find the motivation to commit to it. Hopefully it's gonna improve enough to start learning again.

I'm excited to read the material you're thinking of adapting!

I will eat many many things, but the poopoo box will stay far away from my mouth. I'll never trust it to be clean enough for that.

Do you have advice for learning Mandarin, or good resources to link?

You can touch and hold the gesture navigation bar, it works too!

I love that app already

No I genuinely like that song, I guess not too many people listen to it lmao

Edit: Also I don't listen to a lot of music generally, and I discovered DPRK music last year so I was kinda obsessed with it. Here is my top 5 songs:

Reminded me that exists

Or maybe they just dropped a nuke, we'll never know.

They have to skip that too.

I'll try to explain, maybe someone more knowledgable will correct me if I'm inaccurate.

China is a giant ass country that just started industrialising a few decades ago. The images you usually see of the country are from the coastal cities, where the special economic zones are located and foreign investments were flowing. The development of central and western China is still lagging behind in comparison, The CPC built a giant railways network to speedup the process but there is still a lot to do, and there are still entire cities being built up across the country.

I like this video as an example of what this process of industrialisation looks like.

It is well known that China is only Shanghai. Anything outside of it doesn't count.

Remember when jlai.lu reported us to the french feds for having a burning french flag emoji? Yeah, the GIGN anti-terrorism unit blew up my door and took all my beanis.
