Do you think China will have an uprising over the poor wages?
Tommy Knocks

can go either way, it's bit like asking me do I think the U.S will have a revolution. depends how desperate things get. China has poor wages but the cost of living is so cheap, what's low to you, is medium to them, people can live comfortable on peanuts, shyt is cray. employment is every where, you can just cough and land a job. It's when people don't have work and have time to think, that they get restless....
...and considering the U.S have a lot of graduates with no careers insight, legal monopoly happens on a yearly basis, I think the U.S would actually have civil unrest before China. The U.S has a 2 party system which stalemate each other, the chinese do not. That means they can pass shyt pretty damn quickly. They adjust very very fast. it's pretty impressive.

I was thinking that the "western capitalist"mindset might have made its way over there..But I hear the govt censors alot of things over there...If im not mistaken

there is no western mindset or influence here, nor will there ever be. they take pride in their culture and history which is far older and richer than western culture. it would be like an adult learning from an infant.
they've already got a capitalist system however it's more of a neocapitalist system. a mixture of communism/capitalism. there is free market here.
there is censorship but not really for what some people think, the western media makes it seem like that because the chinese will boot google and youtube and other large corporations that would love to bank off a billion chinese. the chinese govt recognize that and are like
we'll create our own version thanks, aint no revenue for you here. believe it or not, america is censored just as bad as china, just in a different way. your media is manipulated, and it's not rare for the white house to send out memos on how to 'word' stories during the 10clock news. where are the videos of the plane crashing into the pentagon, any reports on the plane that crashed in penn state? where are the bodies?
the only thing I give the west points in....is keeping the internet free.....so far. that's apprantely changing tho wasn't there a law passed not to long ago going in that direction? the U.S govt will be controlling the internet soon enough. heck its free now and you can get a lot of free uncensored information (wikileaks yet your average american still doesn't do shyt about it.
ps. wasn't Jada Kiss - Why censored off the radio? the bit where he said "why did bush bring down the towers" ...that's not very american and it went right over everyones head. that banning was actually illegal per U.S law.
bloodsimple.

These cacs over here be painting it like a nikka will get no play in China or anywhere else in the world. Like the world just worships white people and hates your black ass period.
I need to go travel. I'd love to meet an Asian girl that hasn't been conditioned by our western bullshyt.
Dunno if I'll be able to handle that "love then don't love you" shyt, though.
I'm not saying I'll be simping, but it'll be real hard for a nikka not to fall in love with a girl that ain't been brainwashed by our poisonous ass western society.

I should also add a little more insight on the censorship - it sounds real bad to most, Its like wtf no facebook, no youtube? 
but you have to remember these are sites we grew up on, these are OUR sites. They have their own version of sites like these. they have no 'urge' to jump on facebook or any feeling of missing out. they didnt grow up on it, I have the urge because im american, but they dont.
over here theres a big program called wechat, everybody uses this. but when I go home, nobody does, and I start feeling like wtf how come we aint got this shyt over here? but then I remember, its a chinese/HK company of course nikkas arent interested in it, thats sort of how it is when it comes to our programs, sites etc. but cacs and western asians will be like :ohh: check this censorship out, they blocking them off from learning democracy, they're not yielding to our influence. why dont they just let them go on facebook whats the deal, but then ask that same cac why he doesn't start going on chinese sites and he'd be like "wtf for?"
you see?
and it's not like the chinese can't go around it, everyone can, they just dont lol. its mostly us expats that do to keep in touch with home virtually.
on the chinese facebook, chinese twitter and chinese we chat, trust me, they talk just as much shyt about their govt as we do. its also monitored, just like the feds are monitoring our internet. lets not make it seem like :ohh: china is any different than us. you just need to put things into perspective. whenever you hear "chinese police beat down rioters" remember in NYC and Oakland when PD was firing tear gas on OWS protestors. never forget that when your govt is pointing fingers at a far away land, saying what they're doing is wrong, sit back and think...wait arent you doing the same to us? its their clever way of distracting you from your own reality.

online. :martel:
I wish them shyts look comfortable, that would be tight. shoalin monk style. maaaan dont nobody dress like that here, what do you think this is Mao days or something cmon now lol
NBA is huge. Tracy McGrady plays for a team right next door, that fool is a celebrity here. He lives in my province got a crib and everything.
and I believe gambling is legal. I know it is in Macau, I don't see casinos around here tho.
I live in a coastal city so yea, the beaches are pretty off the hook. I'd post a pic but my vpn is down, I see whats up when I get home (US) next week.

there was mixed emotions.
you see, we live in a new world country where all colors can label themselves apart of that country. the western world, due to colonialism and conqouring is used to having 'different' peoples in their land.
this concept is fairly new in china. they see someone that is not hans and right away it's
how can she be chinese? these people have been on this land for centuries upon centuries. thousands of years since civilization began. they have barely opened their doors to the world, so this right now is a bit of a mind fukk to them. Its not disrespect to there girl at all, it's just a difficult concept for them to grasp at the moment. there are 1.6 billion chinese, some which have never seen a foreigner outside of tv, and then bam you got this half black chick with dark brown skin claiming chinese. its a bit of a mind fukk.
lets say me and a black chick have a kid here. we live here. have 2 kids.
what are my kids? chinese? american? what will their passports be? (you have to be ethnic hans to have a chinese passport)
you see?
trying to tie the western concept and way of thinking about race, to the chinese way, damn near impossible. dont even try it's useless. think of it as something completely different. imagine as if china and the chinese were from another planet. say this girl was half earthling, half martian (mars) and this tv show were on mars, and martians had complete confusion how this earth being is claiming martian. would you understand it abit better?
