That guy is like a 60-year-old. Probably not as much power in his punch as in his younger days but it still gets the job done.

I know, it's great isn't it. Seeing an elderly Chinese guy giving a young racist thug what for! Seeing that makes me even prouder to be Chinese.

@voyager1

A few posts back. I posted this mayor of Budapest was going to name streets in his capital all anti China names.

Someone here said the mayor's been bought by NED/CIA. So here he is. It's payback time. Stirring it up for them.

Yes


don't believe Western Propaganda. China wont reunify with Taiwan anytime soon. If you follow Chinese procurements you will see that China is not interested on this, for now.


Yes


Yes. But Digital Yuan is IMO a big card on China's side which should be ready by the time the Americans try their usual shenanigans.

Also, don't forget that by next year China should have domestic Fabs with domestic IC equipment working on the 28nm process.

In the end would be better for China if TSMC constructed its Fabs around the world because that would make it easier for China to get Taiwan.
I mean if this happened now, no way the US and EU would accept it because their whole electronics/software/hardware etc industries would be subjected to Chinese blackmail.

So... Ironically enough, it's on China's interest for the US and even the EU to get TSMC Fabs lol

TSMC just came out with a sub 1nm process prototype the other day, and few weeks before that IBM did a 1nm or was it 2nm process demo.... China mastering 28nm by end of next year is nothing to brag about.... it necessary, but its not catching up fast enough and could even be falling further behind... because of US continued sanctions etc...

If push comes to shove and China realize it cannot catch up in time, then it has the option to basically put the global semiconductor industry, the entire thing, on pause for the next half a decade to afford it time to catch up... technology like social hyarchery its all relative and never any absolutes.... heck a rtx3090 has more TeraFLOPs than even the best supercomputers in the early 2000s!

Some may say this 'scotched earth' is not China's style and is distasteful but not when survival is at stake! US already set the precedent and did the same thing first, they coudln't beat Huawei so had to kneecap China's access to chips (don't forget the EUV machine SMIC had already paid for that mysteriously caught on fire) and likewise US couldn't beat China's rising GDP PPP so now is framing and smearing China for the "COVID"... etc... at the end of the day its all about hegemony and if you cannot race ahead you do what you can to slow your rival down ... China has many options even without a full TW invasion etc

The Americans and the EUpoors will now be looking under their beds and investigating each other for Xi communism spreading haha

This is another Jai Hind in the making. China should let them fall further in their delusions and schizophrenic behaviour

This is an example of why the Chinese education system desperately needs more funding to bring in a better class of teacher and also the people who run the schools.

It's not uncommon for teachers to have relationships with their students, though it's normally recognised as illegal. But a campaign of attacks over nearly 20 years and the school ignoring complaints shows something is wrong.

It may be an issue with authority figures in China not being used to being questioned or held to account, but I think it's also down to the wrong sort of people being attracted to teaching. If you're super-bright, why would you take the poor salary that teaching gives?

yes, there is something seriously wrong with western societies

Haha no worries mate. I know what kind of poster he is and why he posts some specific news all the time lol

But I still prefer to debate on the content of the news even if he has an agenda. This is why I jumped in on this, because the news itself was real enough, even if he put some "flavour" on top of it.

But anyway, I still prefer that these people are here so they can keep us from becoming an echo-chamber, even if he has his own agenda.
He likes to take isolating incidents and generalized to the whole Chinese society. Two can play this game

In this respect, he's no different to the western MSM.

Take the atrocity committed by the Australian soldiers. And they will report it as soldiers gone rogue. Its nothing to do with leadership of government or system. But if it's in China, the incident would go right to the top. Even Xi Jinping himself!

Lmao US is salami slicing China's Red Lines on diplomatic contacts with Taiwan

China made all this fuss about the nobody US ambassador to UN planned visit to Taiwan

Lets see how they will react to the "bipartisan congressional delegation" visit to Taiwan

IMO this visit is much worse than the January's ambassador attempted visit...
Exactly. The U.S. idiotic party is really trying to push this Taiwan card really hard as though that f..ng country would really love for a war to erupt within the Asia-Pacific region to basically set back the economic growth in order to damage China permanently. After all, the largest trading partner of China is the ASEAN countries and by creating this conflict it may cause the ASEAN countries to join the U.S. in successfully isolating China from further economic integration thus creating a much more debilitating blow to China's economy which is one of the main strategic U.S. objectives. But if China doesn't take any actions against this blatant U.S. provocation the surrounding countries that has disputes with China would even become more daring and emboldened as China's lackluster show of force or lack thereof will be seen as weakness and points to a further validation that it's the U.S. that still holds the biggest d..k in the region and despite China's protestations it's still largely impotent when it comes to the U.S. military strength at China's own backyard.

DPP is pushing hard this s..t so that it can recover from the disastrous political hellhole it's facing due to the party's incompetence in governing the province. But rather than taking a positive route to navigate it's precarious situation it instead chose to play the anti-China card like a f..ng vassalized monkeys. I am certain that the b..ch president commissioned a survey or had some sort of meeting with her American masters on how to turn her losing situation by simply tacking it all on China. It's the one country and issue where most Taiwanese can agree on hating and before the population of that province wakes up from the actual fact and reality that the enemy is their very own government and not China.

IMO is old man mentality about "having no problems"

Low education from gov on these teachers

Low education from gov on students and parents
I'm not sure what an "old man" mentality about "having no problems" is. You mean misogynism?

Poor education of teachers... maybe. But would teacher training realistically be needed to say it's not ok to rape a student?

Poor education of students and parents. Maybe more to do with automatic deference to authority and a suspicion that the police won't help?

I still think it's more likely the lack of pay. When I was in China, none of the graduates I knew were going into teaching. It seemed to be associated with a low status.
However it should be noted that the Police force was responsible that it took it seriously and didnt just ignore it (I am having mixed feelings for commending them for just believing rape-victims, very low bar...)
Well if you don't believe rape victims, how can you ever prosecute? Believing the allegation is credible should lead to an investigation. But an investigation need not lead to prosecution.

Sexual assalt and rape are crimes that across all countries has very poor detection and prosecution rates. Clearly the police can't do anything if they're not approached. However, in the case of children it's normally unlawful for an adult to have sex with them in any situation, so it should be a lot easier to deal with.

What kind of mental gymnastic are you showing here? Do I need to remain you how the Catholic churches and boy scouts get away with rape and sexual harassment with intimidation and threats for decades.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Are you saying that Chinese educators need a couple more decades to abuse their students until they have time to catch up to standards in other countries? Or are you suggesting that there was no rape in China until recently?

There are no mental gymnastics. People don't get rich (at least apart from US evangelicals) being a priest or scout master. Those are volunteer positions, albeit priests can have a minimum lifestyle supported by their church. So pay isn't realistically going to be an issue. Rather it was about having unsupervised access to children.

In contrast teachers normally spend the vast majority of their time with children in the presence of others. Teaching is also a paid profession supposed to support an entire lifestyle and potentially a family. In many countries they are well paid because educators are respected. What adequate pay for a teacher should be is up for discussion. However, given the poor provision of education in China, particularly in poorer provinces, pay is an important issue.

The teacher in question here was from Hunan province. I couldn't tell you if Luxi county was especially poor, but Hunan itself is not exactly Shanghai or Beijing. So that would in my mind make pay seem even more of a factor. If you disagree, are you aware of similar stories from wealthier Chinese cities?

The point isn't that Chinese teachers are all potential rapists so their pay needs to be increased, it's that overall education in China has very patchy provision and that increasing pay across the board would help attract better people who go into other industries. Anyone can teach if they have some empathy and are moderately smart (and don't hate children). It's not like professional sports where realistically there only so many people you can recruit. All those young graduates who look for jobs every year could teach - if the pay was right.

Better pay was part of the discussion I had over Chinese demographics recently here and how in my view many people were put off children due to the very high cost of getting into good schools.

Many best and brightest in China have become teachers but they are concentrated in Shenzhen, Beijing, and Shanghai etc.
Obviously there are some well paid teachers in China, but the public sector especially in poorer provinces is not going well. This is generally accepted even in the PRC.

The best teachers cram into the cities and those who can't have to stay in less developed regions. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out those people are probably not the sort of people you would want teaching your children.
