Forums > Food & Drink > Best KFC in town? @daytrader
Please, leave me out of your propaganda march, thank you!
I am just giving my opinion and the ones of literally all my Chinese friends.
So where does it place me and where does it place you?
Seems like you hate China, because you have an Utopian Vision of it, that almost no Chinese or foreigner can agree with. And that seems to bother you, that you have to villify foreigners and Chinese who are trying to move on and see things as they are and not what they daydream.
Anyway find someone else to troll.

That is a very smart idea and strategy.
You will see, that your life will become more harmonious, patient and most def you will get healthier, since you will be consuming much higher nutrition value.
No spitting, pooping, peeing, loud farting, and smoking in designating areas.
And you can choose between, talking to Chinese and foreigners.
You are on to something, very smart thinking!!! lol
Oh and I think there is an invention, called Listings. That may help with your list.
Forums > Study > china Stock market crash in 2016 @day trader
"Labor in China is enormous".
That has not much to do with how bad an economy can crash. Labor in the States and other Western countries was enormous too. And still the crash wasn't cushioned by it.
Also a lot of Chinese labor market is inflated. Three people doing the job of one,especially in the public sector.
Chinese economy, not an if question but a when question,-will crash.
Western economies have little securities and logic. But China has virtually non, besides the rich and public servants shipping their cash piles overseas.

There is no more anarchist capitalism than in China.
Eating bugs for health and environment
Posted bySo in my opinion.....Go beetle, go! But I think there are dangers as well. When it becomes a big business then all the people in life stock would change and let it become the same rotten business. And I think a few escaped colonies of something after a healthy amount of mutation can kill the same amount of vegetation as they saved....but in minutes.
Is it a great way to balance diet and help nature? ..Sure! but it needs to be handled with care.
Eating bugs for health and environment
Posted byAbout transportation versus life stock fart. It's true (in terms of tons in relation to efficiency) but also because car combustion engine produce greenhouse gas in a quite small amounts (comparitively).
But considering the waste or resources just to produce on damn kilo of meat, is unbelievable and doesn't make sense. From the soil to the chemicals we feed those poor creatures. To mega tax, non-green food would be a good option. There si a lot of fake green food but that is still better than the best non-green food.
Some insects taste good, if you don't eat them in those touristy spots. I had some insects in a proper (local) food place and it wasn't too bad. If you overcome you creeps.
The whole problem is so far progresed that is needs help everywhere, soiltreatment, farming, water treatment, animal food, and most important a change in our minds. If you buy a burger for a US$ (&the prices we expect), you can figure that everything in it is from exploitation of others and the environment.
Kunming battling Chinglish
Posted byno!...please...
I love Chinglish! Nothing better on a crappy day, than walking down the streets,
-reading what sort of plants are being raped=park signs,
-what cuelty has been shown to food-in menues,
-or whoever designed those roadsign being drunk and just throwing letters together that looked the most appealing.
I blame it on the baijiu.
I say save Kunming's Chinglish.
Fog shuts down Kunming airport, strands thousands
Posted byYou have to love China for it's inefficinecy and stupidety, sometimes.
When I entered Changshui airport the first time I sensed that it's below any international standards,
(hence..not even soap in the washrooms).
Even the old AP was better managed and designed. Like most things in China the package looks great and what you find inside, is rubbish or crappy knockoffs.
Sorry guys you had to go through this, I'm not a fan of airports but I always enjoy Chinese prestige object failing....because there is the only consistency, the only efficiency... efficiency in sucking, with a 99.9% failure rate. :)
bluppfisk
you are absolutely right fog is generally no problem (wind is...as with humans).
There is a CAT scale measuring the fog density and only the CATIIIc requires certain equipment and experience by the pilot and crew. CATIIIc needs autoland sytems (not autopilot) guessing Chinese Airlines don't invest in it...it's quite expensive.
All others are ok to approach and land with ILS... I wasn't there but I sincerely doubt it was CATIIIc that day. Plus usually normal airports have weather reports and are able to reroute in time to avoid what happend to you guys.
Also NORMAL airports have emergency staff...handing out free tea/coffee, soups, blankets, ticket returns and have a relation officer walking around making sure you are, as well as possible. Well, NORMAL airports.
For the cats at China Air Traffic...even rain, the least of all weather problems, brings the new Beijing airport to a complete shutdown. They literally closed all air traffic for as little as heavy rain.
They even have the regulation that there has to be 10 minutes space inbetween take offs in rain.
I guess Chinese airline pilots fly with a compass in their lap and wind speed is measured by licking the finger and hold it out of the window...
Again sorry guys but man I love China for that stuff. Welcome China to the 21st Century and Changshui airport to the 19th, if lucky. Was even reported on CCTV..Great job Kunming!
