Chinese shenanigans

[Salty]

At least she put down a paper....

[kurogane]

I thought that was very Japanese of her. I never saw any of it, but those old stories about Jpn bumpkins pooping wherever they happened to be are common enough they might have a grain of truth, and as a people they are hardly far enough from the rice field to be saying much about that sort of crass, grasping vulgarity. The problem with Chinese isn't who they are, it's how many there are. It's a shame nothing can be done about that, though entry quotas might be something to look at, or even expensive visa fees to cull the skids like that granny.

Sarariman pissing on the train tracks, anyone?

[kurogane]

Or out the compartment doors on last train, FTM.

I'll give you one thing Tacky - When it comes to being a through and through racist you don't disappoint. Every fucking thing gets racialised doesn't it.

The behaviour that this self satisfied, preening halfwit is pronouncing on is not driven by race or even culture. It's driven by poverty and desperation and it has been observed in many a country. I would bet good money that the real problem in China is that many old people don't have a pension and that the family support system is falling apart. Hence, this sort of behaviour as the result of being a poor country with woefully insufficient pensions and welfare systems.

The current Japanese version of it is to use the prison system as a sort of old folks home. Keep committing crime and keep getting put back inside. At least then your rent, food and medical care is covered. At the moment it is only a tiny minority of old folks driven to such extremes in Japan but the way demographic change and finances are heading without any meaningful intervention on the cards you can expect to see a lot more here too. China might by then be moving in the opposite direction and they could be sneering at old people in Japan. There's a thought for you.

Confucian respect for the elderly may be admirable and a useful moral precept to guide behaviour but it doesn't, in itself, pay the bills. Simple as that.

Meanwhile, it turns out Japan and China have one more thing in common

I've never seen anyone piss off a platform or train here. It must be an inaka thing.

[wagyl]

No one takes trains while drunk out in the inaka. It is so much more convenient to drink drive.

I live in central Tokyo. Inaka means anything more than 20 minutes outside the Yamanote loop.

College kid or salaryman?

I used to see it in the NY subway sometimes. The best was the guys who would stand between the cars and piss while the train was moving. Of course the trick was to pee away from the third rail.

Toats. LOLzzzzzzzzzzzz The guy in question got pissy because I was laughing, my ex apologised, I told her not to and told him to get First World. I thought he was going to explode. Not figuratively, literally. She was furious, but she giggled the whole time watching him stew. Good times. We need to bring Showa back.

FYI, Ikebukuro to Ekoda. On a suburban line nobody should want to live on but strangely some do.......

China to end one-child policy

[wagyl]

BBC: about that graphic. Why is New Zealand on holiday in Nigeria?

[Russell]

China to end one-child policy

So, now they have a two-child policy.

I wonder whether most Chinese really want two kids now...

[wagyl]

Thirty-six years without sibling rivalry. It will be a shock, but they will be able to handle it. After all, they managed to survive having both parents being selfish only-children.

Two adults, two kids - best way to block the escalator during that Japan trip to locust-strip the drug stores.

It's not on holiday, it's trying to unlock the bank funds deposited by a relative it didn't know about until a chance email from the desk of James Opongo arrived.

What I like most about this story is that the BBC asks its readers to contact them in case they are affected by this new policy. What do they expect? That people living in China now suddenly will report on the BBC that their neighbors started fucking again to get that second child?!?

Beijing Closes in on Vietnam’s ‘China Beach’

The 20 miles of white sand that is My Khe Beach used to be a destination for American soldiers in Vietnam seeking rest and recreation. As it happened, the GI’s called it “China Beach.”

In the decades since, amid the rapid modernization of Vietnam, Da Nang has become a popular international tourist destination. During China’s boom years, Vietnam’s tourism industry was bolstered by masses of Chinese visitors. The People’s Republic has the world’s largest middle class, and those with a little cash to flash are eager to enjoy the trappings of new locales.

Indeed, Da Nang looks a little like a third-tier Chinese city, with constant construction kicking up dust, and huge trucks barreling down wide boulevards along the coastline, but the traces of French colonial architecture and generally laidback vibes warrant a stay lasting a day or two. Chinese tourists, often entire families traveling with a package, would stop off before moving on to the next city.


That has changed. And once again a vague specter of war hangs on the horizon like a distant but threatening storm.

As China expands its military presence and territorial claims in the South China Sea, it is being challenged, not least, by the United States. This week, a U.S. guided missile destroyer sailed within 12 miles of an artificial reef being built far out in the water, an intentionally provocative American move that Beijing labeled “extremely irresponsible.”

But the real weight of these confrontations falls on the smaller countries along the Sea’s littoral. Nowhere has that been more apparent than in Vietnam ....

By the number of tourists I think DaNang is more a Russian enclave than anything else...

Once again China... Avoid fucking too much with Gazprom...

Navy plans two or more patrols in South China Sea per quarter

The U.S. Navy plans to conduct patrols within 12 nautical miles of artificial islands in the South China Sea about twice a quarter to remind China and other countries about U.S. rights under international law, a U.S. defense official said on Monday.

"We're going to come down to about twice a quarter or a little more than that," said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about Navy operational plans.

"That's the right amount to make it regular but not a constant poke in the eye. It meets the intent to regularly exercise our rights under international law and remind the Chinese and others about our view," the official said.

U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes on Monday said there would be more demonstrations of the U.S. military's commitment to the right to freely navigate in the region.

"That's our interest there ... It's to demonstrate that we will uphold the principle of freedom of navigation," Rhodes told an event hosted by the Defense One media outlet.

Rhodes' comments came a week after a U.S. guided-missile destroyer sailed close to one of Beijing's man-made islands in the South China Sea last week.

China's naval commander last week told his U.S. counterpart that a minor incident could spark war in the South China Sea if the United States did not stop its "provocative acts" in the disputed waterway.

[...]

Rhodes said the goal in the dispute was to come to a diplomatic framework to resolve these issues.
