Learned a couple things from dating a Chinese girl that I didn't learn from having a Chinese mom:
a) Chinese people seem to love keeping relationships outside the home before marriage. b) this creates a great motivation to commit and get married. I'll be married before the year is over. EDIT: My Singaporean coworker is telling me how lucky I am to be with a mainlander. Not nearly as many archaic but obligatory formalities to go through with the families. |

Actually no, the republican revolutions in the 20th century helped break up a lot of the older traditionalist tendencies in the mainland and Taiwan, whereas a lot of overseas Chinese in SEA for example tend to be more traditionalist, among the Malaysians and Singaporeans I've known firsthand.

So a effective tool to encourage sheep think and narrow mindness... this is so gong to blow up in China's face when it sends its foreign relation's toward acidic.
Since being influenced by external influences will make you 'bad person' and not say a useful bridge towards understanding different viewpoints around the globe . It will mean China will act on bad assumptions and undoubtedly put there foot in it again and again because there 'good citizens' really don't get what outsiders are thinking. |

Hong Kong: Thousands rally over missing booksellers
If it's true that China has been kidnapping booksellers who oppose the Beijing leadership, that is a new low China has done.

The BBC broadcast a 6-part documentary on the history of China earlier this year:
PBS will air this series later in 2016 in North America.

Super-Patriotic Anime Youth Wars!:
"Japanese anime has conquered China. In Chinese, the term “2D culture” (erciyuan wenhua) describes both the television shows, video games, anime (cartoons), manga (comic books), music, and movies inspired by Japanese pop culture and the millions of Chinese who consume these products every week. This “second dimension” is one of the fastest-growing industries in China—with more than 200 million consumers, the market is projected to reach more than $30 billion by 2020. But the runaway success of Japanese pop culture among China’s youth has caused confusion, shock, and anger in a country still bitter over historical grievances. Many Chinese see this as a war for the hearts of their children—one they’re losing. This conflict is being fought out in editorial pages, boardrooms, and government bureaus. The stakes couldn’t be higher: in the short term, tens of billions of dollars; in the long term, the future of Sino-Japanese relations. Japanese diplomats hope that the millions of young Chinese in the 2D world will push for a China friendlier to Japan and its people. The Chinese Communist Party has responded by developing its own anime and manga-based propaganda program. Below all this are the parents and grandparents, aware that their children and grandchildren are submerging themselves in a subculture designed to exclude them—one generated by the same country that inflicted two decades of horror on China. Some accept this as a natural expression of youth; for many others, it’s a terrible disaster." See: https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/01/23...n-pop-culture/ |

First time to post here.
FYI, second gen Chinese-Filipino/Canadian. Recently my folks went to see someone and I "had" to tag along. Went to see an old man... to be analyzed for a reading (Not sure if I can say soothsayer? Maybe someone else knows). Basically, I was to avoid (as much as possible) not to drink anything black like soda and coffee (which I'm thankful for the latter) and black clothing like shirts and shorts (unfortunate for the latter since most of them are for jogging). What was worse is that most of my (black) shirts are kept separate from my closet after that visit. Man, I feel down 'cause some of those shirts had nice designs on it... like that Persona 5 Super Live concert shirt.
