China News Thread

Just a kid. Throw him into administration detention for a week, send him a stern warning to not do it again, and then contact his parents and relatives to let them know about it.

Then watch as the guy becomes the strongest PLA supporter lol

IMO at this age I dont even consider him an adult. I think the above proposed actions should have been enough. A prison sentence is too much and AFAIK it will also be inserted into his criminal record, thus destroying his life later on because he did something immature at such a young age.

Since he loves India so much why not just send him there?

Off topic........

Anabolic Androgenic Steroid.

who OD'd on drugs a couple of years ago. He actually stayed away from alcohol, since he didn't like the excess calories. He was taking like 1ml of tren acetate a day. I have no idea how these days dealt with being a daily pin cushion, OUCH.

I was a bit of gym rat in my high school days. Getting out of school and was at the gym by 3:30PM. Worked out for 3+ hour a day, then came home and went to sleep after a protein shake at 8PM (maximize on GH release after a hard workout). Got up at 2-3 AM to do homework.

Forget AAS, back then I couldn't even afford protein powder. Basically blended 3-4 raw eggs with skim milk and a banana. I kept my daily caloric intake to below 2000, while burning around 1000 at the gym every day.

It was great. I had girls come up and giving me phone numbers and asking me to go home with them from the gym. Having that confidence solved a lot of problems, including academics.

Now that I'm approaching my mid 40's and probably retiring from the Army, I've been thinking of trying HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Taking my 6 year old to MMA these days has me fantasying when my son can be my lifting buddy a decade from now.....

The kid has a rebellious streak and is on a rebellious phase coupled with the fact that he's spend some time in the U.S. already hence him being a green card holder sparked that "individualist" streak which resulted of him conducting up insulting s..t against the fallen PLA soldiers.

I chalk that up to his parent not sufficiently channel him in his early teens.

Growing up in the US, I notice a lot of Asian kids having a hard time finding their own identity. It all depend on where you grow up. Sometime, kids try to integrate too hard by trashing their own ethnic/cultural identity.

I grew up in NYC, went to a high school that was over 60% Asian. So there was a lot of incentives to be a specimen, and distinguish myself from my fellow Chinese/Korean peers. I also started reading every "thick" book on Chinese history I could, starting with "Search for Modern China by Jonathan Spence".

Since the gym was next to a large Barnes and Nobles, I read a book a week, returning it to within 30 days as to not incur actual cost.

The interest in history and armaments steered me toward a career as an officer. Interestingly, I read a book by John Antal (choose your own adventure type). Years later, that guy turned out to be my regimental CDR.

Back to the topic, sort of......

We need to do a better job of molding the next generation of Asians. Foster a unique and expansive identity, based on knowledge and physical strength.

That being said, I've always been a tall/big kid, so I had some mass to work with. I imagine it would be harder if I was 5'5" and 130lb, as this kid seems to be.

It's hard being Asian male in western countries where practically no strong Asian role model exist in any form of media other than the Asian members of the rainbow coalition.

Kudos and much respect to your success and determination not to become just another stereotypical wimpy Asian person in America and kudos for serving your country regardless of your country's politics and foreign policy orientations.

Physical Education and strict PE male teachers is IMO extremely important for boys as they grow up.

They need someone to look up as a "model" and they need to learn discipline because at that age boys are a bit crazy...

Also PE, exercises, gym promotes more testosterone which together with the above mentioned actions, help in growing good, confident, and strong boys into men

There is a growing issue in our societies which is often ignored. Schools are becoming more of child-care centers. Kids are not allowed to play during the breaks, run, have small "fights" between them, be more expressive, assertive, outspoken, rebellious etc

This might not affect girls much, as by their nature they are mostly "soft" on such issues but it presents huge challenges, difficulties and ultimately significantly affects negatively the boys development

There is a reason why we say "boys will be boys", they are naturally different from girls and by tailoring their learning and growing environment around girls, certainly does not help on their healthy development

Anyway, this is an extremely complex issue which has just very recently started to be studied on how it affects the development of boys. However I doubt that this will lead to any changes. I dont think there is any leader on the West willing to touch such a minefield issue.

Maybe China can do something for it, because honestly I am not expecting anything from the West

Thanks. I've always approached the job as samurai /knight, dedicated to the profession.

That being said, it was easier to lose yourself amongst the platoon/troop/company than working as an action officer. Staff jobs are a real grind. Since I'm not competing for a BN command, I might as well let some other hard charger take over while I retire.

BN Command is also not what it used to be. Everyone is just trying to survive the stint, keeping up the KPIs and hoping none of the junior enlisted put your unit in the news.

This exactly. I’d rather my kid become a rabid little wolf warrior little pink type (which I detest almost as much as the Jai Hinds) than a self-hating, scum sucking Uncle Tom like Gordon Chang. Anyone with that much hate towards his own ethnicity defies the basic biological process of procreation and propagating one’s own kind.

Yeah, I saw perfect example of a self-hating cuck in PDF, I think the name is Xigwin something. It's not helping the fact that East Asians are getting attacked on the streets by perpetuating racist talking points about your own ethnicity...

Is the U.S. Army still function as pure meritocracy or has the institution being politicized as well similar to the civilian institutions unfortunate situation. I used to read up a lot about Gen.Wes Clark and why he was hated within his own service and the politics of the military promotional process.

That's probably a different thread.

Clark was disliked (according to a warrant officer who worked on his G2) because he was too full of himself and refused to heed sound intel advise.

It's like those monologues in the movie "Thin Red Line"......

Whenever there is a large group of men, there will be politicizing, pecking order etc. It starts when you are a 23 year old LT, and you realize that you are measured against every other LT in the BN. It's the same perception game that coaches play with the players.

That being said, it is still mostly a meritocracy.

Your career (like any other) is a combination of luck and innate talent. You can get lucky and your talent and opportunity arrive at the right place at the right time, or you can be LT David Uthlaut. Shit happens.

I know a few guys that really should not wear the eagle, or even the oakleaf, and a few guys that should wear a star or two.
