I have no idea of this even being true but when I was in Taiwan, a lot of Taiwanese kept on asserting that modern day Hokkien from southern Fujian matches Tang era Middle Chinese the best. But I'm not sure myself if this is true and it isn't just some Hoklo chauvinist claim.
This is an average rural village in Zhejiang Province, China.
Reminder that this place has a far lower GDP per capita than the most hollowed out and drug infested towns in Mississippi and Alabama.
Proof that 90% of US GDP is just pure grade horseshit.
@LuisFer03486045@KevinCastley There’s incredibly high income disparity in China. Around 50% of the country lives on less than $2,000 USD per YEAR. Go 30 mins outside of any main CBD and the country looks like the 3rd world.
“Socialist market economy” is just a tankie way of saying “capitalism that I like”.
@YilongMa514@D162Michele Taiwan will not be a country in the near future, and you should tell SerpentZA's dead Cantonegroid wife to teach her daughter the Urdu language.
I never really understood this fear from westerners about China stealing their data.
Is Xi Jinping going to find out what you had for dinner? Or steal that $100 you have in your bank account?
On the way to Shenzhen, our taxi driver tells us he’s from Xinjiang.
Arabic music on the speakers. Chinese conversation in the car. He says my Chinese is better than his. Of course it isn’t. He had to learn it later; kids learn it in school now.
Home for him is 5,000 km away. He’ll go back in a month.
That distance is about halfway to Central Europe.
People outside China often talk about it like one place. On the ground, it feels more like a continent.
This is Beijing, where I live.
We are free from endemic:
Crime
Homelessness
Credit card debt
Student loans &
Medical debt
In China, corrupt politicians and pedophiles are executed.
The people are freer than in my home country, the USA.
Learn from China.🇨🇳
@haivry@mandate2049 3. Twitter is not banned in China. It's an American platform that cannot be banned by China. China blocked Twitter. Most Chinese people use something called VPN.
@NiaStrife28@Heavenlystt Here's a difference. Yulin is just a small town abutting Vietnam, while Grande Boucherie Canine was the main thing throughout all Europe. Suck this hard, lio bitch.
@TonyTX2222 You've never been to clean and wonderful place. Japan is a shiethole compared with places like Switzerland. Hwite pepo have no clue how filthy Japan was in 1970s. The river in the first pic was in Osaka. It was far more toxic than Ganges river in India.
Everything in Japan is so clean and amazing. I hate to think that there are some people trying to destroy it by importing people from cultures that are quite the opposite of the local people.
The richest societies of the future will not be the ones with the most workers, but the ones with the most robots, energy, and intelligence per citizen.
Which country gets this first?
@PattyPodcast64@Chris__X__ The video is from 杭州 (hangzhou, pronounced like Hanng-Joe) of China. There's a huge industry on X that steals videos from China's douyin and RedNote, posting on X or Instagram, and rebrand them as "Japanese". Your MAGA fren should just delete this stupid video.
