Bro do you know where he gets the idea, from Condom wrappers....lol and in an ironic coincidence It was in HK.

OT

Bro @ansy1968 , do you know why does Jollibee not have large footprint like KFC/McDonalds in China?


I think we all rather have the money spent circulating inside Asia than sending franchise fees to Merimuttland.

Well, KFC and McDonald's in China all have large Chinese ownership, if not majority ownership in the case of McDonald's. So most of the money does end up staying in China.

Shanghai Connect, Southbound

Does anyone have any idea about the mysterious mystery of which HK shares are allowed to be bought from Shanghai.

For example: why "JD dot com" (9618) is not on the list of approved ("eligible") stocks.

They should just make rice with pork or chicken adobo plates add some Lumpia shanghai as a side dish.
I'm sure many Chinese will like that taste.

Sisig or crispi pata are also nice after drinking with friends.

Yum!!! you make me hungry bro, all of them had Chinese influence BUT the difference is we add vinegar instead of all soy sauce. And sometimes with calamansi.

For most Chinese when I visited China, Vinegar is like ketchup to Americans...lol

Yep in filipino dishes Vinegar is one of the main characters in a lot of other countries its usually just one of the side characters.

Haters gonna hate.

This is the problem with this forum. Any moderate criticism of CCP immediatedly gets tagged as "hate" by overzealous supporters.

Still, there has been incremental progress. Criticising the Zero Covid idiocy a few months ago garnered zero positive responses. Today, more and more people are slowly accepting that it's a bad strategy but are divided on when to end it. There is still a big faction of people who are hardline supporters of the CCP no matter what they do, and that dumbs the conversation down. Like, you don't have to accept all the Western media BS to admit that the CCP isn't flawless and they make mistakes. Like, seriously, it won't hurt you. I promise.

The way to get out of zero COVID is to have zero COVID cases.

If mainland was doing what Taiwan is doing, mainland would have 300k deaths. How many of those could've been leaders, scientists, generals?

The vast majority of Covid deaths in all countries are concentrated in the 70+ age bracket. How many promising scientists are there to be found? I'd argue that even leaders above the age of 70 shouldn't be in the business anymore.

Covid isn't going away. It's going to be with us for years to come. So there are only two choices: either China accepts having permanently lower economic growth by ~2 percentage points per year (which adds up to a lot over a ten year time horizon) or it will have to accept a fraction of its elderly dying earlier than expected. So far it has chosen to prioritise the boomers over the economy.

That isn't sustainable.

Sure it is. China's political stability in large part rests on a premise of prioritizing people, including the elderly, over capital. Political stability and popular support tends to increase economic growth in the long run. Many people in the 60+ age bracket are professors who, though perhaps no longer good at personally conducting research (and are not expected to), are good at scientific management and finding the best research directions.

US economy is declining despite allowing 1+ million deaths for the sake of the economy and operating as if COVID did not exist for 2 years now. the premise of COVID countermeasures being the sole determinant of economic growth is clearly flawed.

You know that Pinoys are trend followers, and not trend setters. Most of the anti-China crap the regular Pinoys spew comes from the media they consume which are almost always propaganda designed to keep the Pinoy masses ignorance of China's actual standing in economy, military, science, engineering, research and development, space, biotechnology, IOT, HSR etc...they (propagandists) like that ASPI pulubi Heydarian loves to peddle the Human Rights, democracy as their favorite weapons to distract Filipinos from actually looking into China's achievements. Which prevents them from asking pertinent questions if Democracy = Economic development if so why are there are so few examples to be used except for the usual clap traps of Imperial powers, turned colonizers, then supposed democracy...

@ansy1968 you know very well that Filipinos are even blind and misinformed to the history of America. How the country came to existence, the Civil War, the Civil Rights act, the racial tensions and conflict that exists in America, especially with respect to the legacy of slavery, not to mention the actual genocide of indigenous people. Filipinos are never told of these truths except show them California (Hollywood) or NYC without ever thinking that the heartland of America do not represent or comes close to looking like those coastal areas.

Lol Filipinos are only good at wearing Captain America T-shirts and ticking every single Marvel movie off their checklists... nuff said.
