Thats the funny thing…….. they would never eat what we call "Chinese' food over here😁 When I eat 'Proper' Chinese food over there, I'm never off the pan💩

Does a different culture = repression? A typical stroll through Beijing………. People buying all the latest designer labels, sat in open air bars, drinking and listening to popular music, people having a cigarette just about anywhere they like……. having traditional food or Pizza Hut, or McDonalds etc etc etc….. Pretty much like being in London, but without the same amount of fear of being knifed or mugged🥴 Yes, some places are wary of the 'tourist', as they are all too aware of how the Western Media paint their country. One thing the Chinese authorities won't tolerate is mass mobs determined to cause disruption (Should happen here a bit more), but most people I have met over the years don't appear to suffer from repression, as this in the opinion of many Chinese people is seen more as something of an uninformed Western opinion, judged by our own idea of 'freedom'……. Just as you formed an opinion that it felt like a 'country and people in repression', they too have an opinion that in our country the Gweilo (Red Devil Foreigner) are lazy, sub-educated, promiscuous and undisciplined🥴 Having said all of that, its a place I'm always happy to get home from😊 BUT……. too much reliance on contorted media reporting can leave you with beliefs such as previously demonstrated whereby 'Chinese whispers' would have us believe that all businesses are government owned🙄 when in fact there are more privately owned businesses than our country could shake a stick at👅

Either you're reading it wrong, or the info is wrong😳 because it's certainly wrong🤪 Sounds right to me. 🥴

I had a feeling you would say that🙄 If you bothered to look at what I showed you, you would see that my father in law's company is in mainland China (Head office about an hours drive from Beijing); it just happened to float on the HKEX due to the benefits of the fastest growing exchange in Asia…….. Just to be clear, I'm talking about China👍 My wife is having a good laugh at the ignorance displayed on here by some about her homeland😁

V Good👍

http://www.chinatbjt.com/en/index.php That's my Father in Law's company………. never been owned by anyone but him….. Just last month, he floated on the HK stock market….. Some businesses may be state owned, but somewhere around 90+% of businesses are privately owned………. I'm not pulling your chain, I promise😊 https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/05/why-chinas-state-owned-companies-still-have-a-key-role-to-play/ Some further reading for you……. Hopefully you will understand that you're statement "Technically in China all companies are State owned. " is somewhat misleading (Wrong🙄)

What a load of rubbish……….. Absolute tosh………. I suggest you do some homework🥴

I could type content all day long Sir, but I doubt it would change the chip shop opinions being banded on here😄 But I would state that my wife is Chinese, my children ½ Chinese, many Chinese in-laws, and to date around 60+ visits to China certainly gives a more in depth understanding of the reality than tabloid, heresay and Google ever could👍 I'm happy to type it all in Mandarin too if that helps😍

Certainly in regards to your post😊 You said…….. "Factories are told what to produce and there is no internal competition." All privately owned businesses in China are in competition with one another, and are not told what to produce.

Totally wrong Wrong And….. wrong again🥴

"The West can bring China to it's knees it just has to pay the price." You're words, not mine🥴

I'm guessing that yours is the same as mine, and this is like that on purpose so that you can't load more than the legal limit…….

You seem to be assuming that China is a somewhat weak economy 🙄 I think you'd be surprised about how much of the 'West' is actually owned by China🥴

Pure fantasy🙄 Don't get me wrong, I accept the ying and the yang…….. I was just pointing out that it ain't steam coming out of those stacks🥴

If you're referring to Coal fired Power Stations, then what you think looks like steam is actually a blend of Mercury, Lead, Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Particulates etc…….🤢

👍 Good Post

He may well be innocent of forcing himself on a under age girl, but he's definitely guilty of gross stupidity 🙄

Yeah, I can see how you could be convinced of that🥴

My bad…….🥴 I was getting confused with the video of him opening the door in the NYC house……….. He gets about🤪

Where did you get that info from?

His NYC Mansion in London?😳

How High is a Chinaman…….

I can't remember being 'Structured' by the Beat Bobby when I was a kid🥴

You forgot 'lack of discipline'😳
