I work next to an Education First which is basically a school where foreign kids come to learn English and to **** off. There's a big shopping center across the street. From here to there, and all along the shopping center is a sidewalk. They all choose to walk down the middle of the god damn street side by side, like 5 across. Can a car horn wear out? Going to be finding out pretty soon. If it does, just going to have to start running them over.

I lived in Shanghai for almost two years...

-BRB, not an inch of personal space on the subway
-BRB, giant man shoves tiny woman onto the ground because she's blocking the subway doors
-BRB, entering the elevator, stand facing opposite everyone else with nose 1 inch away from my face
-BRB, babies peeing and chitting in garbage cans
-BRB, spitting and throwing cigarette butts on restaurant floors
-BRB, causing a 52-person pile-up at the top of the escalator because your face is in your phone and you don't continue walking
-BRB, two people collide with each other while walking with faces in phones; continue staring at phones and collide with each other several more times like two wind-up monkey dolls

The people I met who interacted with foreigners generally attempted to change their ways. That's just how life is there's and that's all most of them know.

They went from 0 to 60 real fast and haven't had time to adapt to cultural norms. Lets not pretend Europe/Americas wasn't a complete chithole for a thousand years before the industrial age.

I dont know about pavements, but they are mental if you owe them money.

I worked a corporate job years ago and knew this guy "Johnny", his family owned a takeaway. I would often go in and ordered sweet and sour chicken and fried rice, they were nice to me as i knew Johnny.

Anyway one time i was $1 short and told them i would give it to them the next time i came in. A week later they turned up at the corporation i worked at (Johnny had since left) looking for me. By the time i got down to reception security had removed them. A few days later they followed a colleague home to his house and asked him if he knew where i lived.

All because i owed them $1,

I also once watched a Chinese woman do a full workout with resistance bands whilst she was waiting in the queue to board a plane.

even China’s wealthiest and best educated are guilty of bad behavior. its not that they need time to adapt to cultural norms; being an asshat is their cultural norm

no pic was seen today from OP

ok

Also, plagiarism and cheating are rampant in the US as well.

Also, way to generalize an entire group of people. And I'll remind you that many of the top people in US engineering, finance, medicine, etc are Chinese people who became American citizens.And there it is. You just hate the Chinese. There are over a billion of them, and you're going to generalize them all. I'll remind you that being an asshat IS and pretty much always has been an American cultural norm as well.

wtf, back in 96 canada didnt even recognize my dads degree.

Times have changed. It's a shame these hicks haven't.

Look at this graph.



While this still leaves China in "developing" country status, and puts its average behind some developing countries, its rapid rate of growth suggests that it will be a fully developed nation in the next few decades.

china's academic institutions are rampant with plagiarism. imagine someone getting their PhD from copying someone else's dissertation? sure, it happens here but it's practically institutionalized there.

the people that come here and eventually become americans are different; they integrated and became americanized; the ones that we are complaining about arent the ones that end up staying

and the link you posted is irrelevant. top 100? newsweek's scoring system is flawed. if you read the link i posted, "Chinese academics receive bonuses and promotions based on how much they publish, and the necessity of being published has led to high-profile scandals". sure, that university might be publishing a bunch of papers but Chinese research isn't that influential globally. it's not the quantity that matters, but the quality.

ok dude

You are acting like the entire country of China is incompetent because there have been SOME cases of plagiarism, and the particular examples you showed from recent years were for IP theft and fraud in CS/life sciences. China doesn't have the same draconic patent laws that we have. There are a lot of people, including me, who feel that IP laws in this country are actually too strict, and stifle innovation. So, I'm not seeing a problem there. As far as life sciences fraud, that is rampant in the US too. Seehttp://journals.plos.org/plosmedicin...l.pmed.0020124. So, it's not that surprising that a country with the most people also has the most fraudulent cases. You'd need to show that it happens at a higher baseline rate there than here, which I haven't seen established.I'm not surprised that there is a large amount of fraud in CS and life sciences. But this is the case for every country. I'd like to see hard data that China is somehow worse on average. All I am seeing is that they have more absolute number, which makes sense since they have a much larger population. What I do know is most of the "good ones" who "integrated" were educated in China. They are excellent at their work and deserve better than to be written off purely for their country of origin.

My guy, stereotypes don’t develop out of thin air. Chinese people are, by and large, rude nob heads. If anyone interprets sweeping statements /stereotypes as being applicable to 100% of that race or culture, that’s their naivity not the person saying it’s problem.

Almost all of China's economy is based upon stealing technology developed by others. Many companies are realizing that if they manufacture there, then their plans are simply copied, remade under a chinese brand, and then undercut, so a lot are moving away from this, but it's probably too late.

So hold the **** up - you think anyone who innovates a technology or product should not get the rights/credit for that product, and anyone should be able to freely steal? ****, you don't have to change much to get your own patent. The system ENCOURAGES innovation through reward. How the **** does it do the opposite? If no one was rewarded for innovating, they would simply be like the Chinese and steal anything they could.

Wait, are you talking about China or the US?

China

Such a lovely place.

Our patent system is way too restrictive. IP laws are actually PREVENTING innovation in SOME cases. I didn't say all patents shouldn't exist. But, I definitely feel like patents should expire more quickly than they do, and should be reduced in scope. Why should anyone have a right to a monopoly (that is what a patent fundamentally is)? People already have founders' advantage if they innovate. Being early can and should reap you rewards, and in some cases, patents may be require to incentivize research, but our patent laws are preventing people from releasing competing OSes, manufacturing alternate chips, etc. We have a situation where a few firms dominate entire sectors due to these laws. This is not capitalism. This is not going to lead to maximized productivity of the economy.

Do you know what the stereotypes are of Americans to the rest of the world? That we are a bunch of fat, idiotic, obnoxious racists. Some stereotypes are rooted in truth, but they are also often slow to catch up to reality. Remember the "asians can't drive" meme from the 1980's? It may have been rooted in some truth because asian immigrants often didn't have access to cars in their home countries. These days, most young people are confused by the meme. Asian Americans can and do drive just as well as everyone else. So, the stereotype no longer makes sense. I'm saying the image of the "idiot chinaman" who only scams you and produces knockoffs is about 20 years out of date. While there is still plenty of counterfeiting done in China, China has now become to global capital of manufacturing and engineering. They are rapidly expanding and growing. There are many excellent Chinese engineers, and it is not the "third world chithole" that people would like to paint it as. It is very rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with.

That's pathetic peter

I wouldn't say the image is as positive as that.

I’m from the UK and yes that’s correct. We however are flawless well mannered genetlemen so are in a position to comment on the Chinese for their lack of manners and general self awareness

Human life has virtually zero value in China, which is why you see said behavior

They’re animals

your teeth suck
your women suck
your food sucks

USA! USA! USA!

That's hilarious that the west works so hard to only get cucked by the Chinese man. Stealing is another form of innovation. Taking what someone created, making it much cheaper, and monopolizing it for your own gain is called mogging. While the west works hard to have multiculturalism and unisex bathrooms. Chinese people just take the best IP content from the west to improve their country haha while they themselves are on track to develop designer babies which will increase the IQ of their intelligentsia exponentially.

Yea and the west produces strange social justice warrior mannerisms. Advocating for the whackest of stuff like equality, feminism, and unisex bathrooms. As evident in Canada, USA, and Scandinavia. Here in Canada I rather have Xi in charge than Trudeau.

true but i wouldnt want to live in the dark ages, so i dont get peiple that go to live in china voluntarily.
