What is your impression towards Chinese?

[bbson john]

What do you feel about Chinese men and Chinese women?
I am a Chinese and I'd like to know our image in your society.

Feel free to speak. I won't get angry. But be sincere!

 

[Raziaar]

I think you're not anywhere near as progressive of a society of individuals as I wish you'd be, this of course being because of your crazy government, and especially the kind of bizarre fanaticism that kind of government breeds.

Other than that whole thing... I think Chinese women and Chinese men are just fine. On equal footing with anybody else in Asia and the world as well in my eyes.

Not sure what more of an answer you're looking for or I can give.

I like you cause you're where all my weeaboo stuff gets shipped from.

China is interesting. They're the next major power rising, and with an autocratic pseudo-socialist government it can only be bad news. They claim they're 'communist' but they're really quite far from it, the Leader(really there should be no Leader to begin with in a communist government, Lenin ruined it originally for the USSR) allowing specific private enterprises to thrive and almost allowing capitalism to reign in certain areas.

There is a semblance of resentment here(California) because of how quickly you have managed to industrialize and militarize, just like post WW1-era US looking at the Soviets. It won't end in a cold war this time, and I doubt we'll be seeing Fallout any time soon; but the threat is certainly there, and will more than likely be the cause of the U.S. or some third-party like North Korea. However, it's not as bad as, say, European resentment towards the U.S. because most of our people are ****tarded.

The media typically ignores China, preferring to focus on the Middle East and North Korea. We see your nation as oppressed, poor, and overpopulated.

That's all I really feel like writing at the moment.

stop eating everything

seriously you knew you are a reason why the tiger is still in extincion? cuz its eated for "aphrodisiac" reasons

 

[Eejit]

You guys have some ****ed up food. I tried some chicken feet and nearly spewed.

 

[repiV]

I find China fascinating, and I nearly went to live in Shanghai a few years ago. Still regret that I didn't do that for a while. Also, I would very much like to work in Hong Kong for a period of time at some point in the future.

As for Chinese people? We have a lot of Chinese in Exeter (they come here for the business school at the university...), and two observations which hold true 99% of the time are: 1) they keep themselves totally and utterly to themselves - I don't remember the last time I ever saw a Chinese person socialising with a non-Chinese person 'round these parts. And 2) ultra-serious people. It takes quite an accomplishment to create the atmosphere of a funeral at the bowling alley, but the local Chinese people appear to be experts at it!

 

[Laivasse]

+1 on ****ed up food. I found black eggs to be pretty memorable. I've also tried chickens' feet and my review was similar to Eejit's.

An old acquaintance from Hong Kong used to tell me about all the other unlikely pieces of weirdshit that pass for delicacies in parts of china, such as bear paws (or bear 'arms' as he called them) and live baby rats. He would often fantasise about pouring fresh blood on his rice for flavour, or lick his lips while watching a wildlife documentary about rare endangered species, and I would proceed to take the piss by voicing my impressions of China as a place where people walk down the street with packets of Golden Wonder Live Baby Rats in their pockets, while munching on big bear-arm-lollypops.

I admire how enterprising Chinese people seem to be. Despite the culture of information control on the part of their authoritarian communist-cryptoconfucianist government, the people as a whole appear to show little respect for it and just do what they have to do to get by, bootlegging goods on a large scale or whatever. But these are only vague wispy, generalised impressions which I've formed without ever visiting the country.

Oh, and if you want to piss off a Chinese person, try playing mahjong with them (or in front of them) without knowing the rules.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I don't do impressions, it turns out that they can be quite offensive!

 

[Kaptain H]

When I was in the army, it was my job to sit at a radio and spy on Chinese transmissions. Not the greatest job, but it allowed me the opportunity to learn the Chinese language, and I'm glad I had the opportunity for that.

 

[Krynn72]

Chinese people are cool, Chinese Government can gtfo.

 

[The Monkey]

It's a very fascinating country, I went there with my parents four years ago. One rather disturbing element of the present culture is the apparent idolization of the western look. Most advertisements had westerners on them, and there's growing trend of surgically making your eyes look more European. It remains to be seen whether the current dictatorship can remain as the wealth of the people is increasing, but I doubt it can make it in the long run.

 

[Viperidae]

Most of my high school friends are Chinese (the rest other asian nationalities). You guys are alright. The only thing I think I could say that I've found consistent and negative is you only seem to value business. It's like you have some cultural meritocracy entirely geared around making money (and I don't mean this in the way that western countries have it, I mean literally you don't value anything else). No family? No fun? No originality? Your kids depressed and overworked? Doesn't matter! You make money.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

I'm so sorry.

If this is true aren't you supposed to not tell anyone that kind of stuff?

 

[Tyguy]

you have some BABES running around china, I really want to **** a chinese girl hard.

i like the americanized chinese food

 

[Kaptain H]

I didn't actually tell you anything besides the job description of a Mandarin 98G. :thumbs:

But yes, lots of top secret stuff.

 

[Viperidae]

Chinese girls are not hard to date. Just boring.

 

[Viperidae]

Japanese chefs are supposed to yell. It's a tradition thing.

 

[MJ12]

Is not giving me napkins traditional too? :frown:

 

[Dog--]

Sounds traditional.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

I'm marrying one, so yeah, they're cool in my book.

 

[Shyam]

You fools, the op is a Chinese agent. Look at his obvious Yankee username. Now everyone who have disrespected the Chinese, well it's been nice knowing you.

On topic, Chinese people are cool in my book, but your government is fascist. Oh and stop the cultural genocide of Tibetans please, it's not cool.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I never understood you napkin people, eat properly and you won't need them!
OT: Chinese be aaaAAAIIIIte, their gov't sounds like shit though.

Chinese communists... more capitalist than anybody else!

 

[Vegeta897]

Amen brother.

Chinese girls are not hard to date. Just boring.

Don't knock it until you try.

Of course, I've never dated an American.

But the amount of control Kathy likes to have over me is exciting enough.

I'm marrying one, so yeah, they're cool in my book.

:cheers:

 

[Barnz]

?????

Edit: ****, chinese characters don't work

 

[Viperidae]

Don't knock it until you try.

Why try it when I'm surrounded by friends' gf's and their lamentations? I also have Chinese friendgirls.

 

[Vegeta897]

Only when you date one yourself will you experience how the vice grip of utter control and lost hope feels.

 

[Viperidae]

Keep in mind though, naturalised Chinese girls in Canada != sweatshop girls in the motherland.

 

[Raziaar]

Chinese women steal all our friends.

The Chinese? They're alright. Good people. The Japanese on the other hand..

The Japanese are great. They were the only technologically backwards culture to come into contact with modern civilization and say, Oh shit, we gotta do what they're doing, only better. Emperor realizes that they are living in the stone age, farming rice, and fighting with swords and tells everybody they have to work hard and modernize. So in one generation, literally every industry gets completely transformed. The nation industrializes. Students start studying science and medicine. Want a modern army? Hire German and American officers, adopt the most cutting edge doctrines. Want a navy? Start paying for British consultants. 50 years later, the Russian navy sails around the world to teach those backwards Japan a lesson and they get their asses handed to them.

After WWII, they are pretty much scorched back to the stone age again. They realize they have no resources, their economy is in collapse, so everyone focuses all of their energy on rebuilding the nation again. They start making small complicated products, like calculators, and cameras. then computers. Then they start making cars, and dominate the Americans a few decades later.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Then they started developing an army of hideous mutant "women" to one day overthrow civilization.

They have to make small products... or else there'd be no room on the island!

Chinese people are awesome.

As a whole? The greatest strategical nemesis our nation has ever faced since the death of the USSR. A communist nation bent on global hegemonic domination of all the free world, et cetera ad infinite. Also, thanks to Confucius culture, they pretty much know what etiquette is, I'd imagine.


As individuals? They're like everyone else. Heck, as a general rule, every society has its share of every kind of person imaginable. I dislike some of them, like others, and the rest I couldn't care less about.


Edit: One day we'll win. You'll see. Even if it takes the life of every last man woman and child, we'll win. (Assuming China takes the feared route of extending its hegemonic aspirations)
