Photos of Why Chinese Should not Be Allowed In Ikea

Posted by wtdevflnt on March 7, 2012

I live in China so I am subjected to smog, cancer and fake food, and aside from that, Chinese. Chinese, in and of themselves, are not a bad thing, its just that their behavior patterns go better with the Jurassic period rather than the 21st century.
Here is an example of how the Chinese can even foul up a cool thing like Ikea.

This is the Ikea in Beijing.
Problem- 1

Too many people. And remember, when Chinese get together they do stupid things, like stand, gawk, rubber neck and act…Chinese

Problem 2 They fk stuff up. This couch is relatively new, but after a few hours of Chinese wear and tear, the thing looks like its had chemo.

The odd thing is that the Chinese do not realize that someone may wish to sit on this couch, so they dirty it up then take off.

 

Problem 3

3000 years of history and still uncivilized. As you can see, some chinese allowed their kid to urinate on the sofa, after all, it is some else’s problem isn’t it?

Yeah, Ikea has assloads of restrooms, but some Chinese thought it made more sense to allow their little burden to pee on the couch.

Problem 4

Chinese “Locust Effect”

Due to the nature of the beast, and I do mean that, Chinese ‘locusts’ are all around.

And being the industrious sort, they do what uncle Mao taught them, they take up resources and cause chaos.

Problem 6

They act Chinese. This is the reason for the angst in Hong Kong, in Singapore, and just about every place that these people are free to roam to now. The world is understanding the true nature of the Chinese spirit and sense of fashion, style and comportment.

The place looked like a war zone, scattered with bodies.

 

But this old guy took the cake. I guess all those years chasing down teachers and smashing the 4 olds , per Mao’s demands has left him a little weary.

I love how he is sampling the store’s wares.

I mean how many people can cut loose and take a snooze like this proud old lion?

And why not just lie back and kick off your shoes while your at it?

I dont know about the rest of China, but what I really want is to perch atop the gnarled foot funk that this old guy leaves behind when awoken form his slumber.

My question is:

Wasn’t this place a lot better under the rule of Chairman Mao?

Put these guys back in their cages.

China, Price Controls and More

Posted by wtdevflnt on October 29, 2011

Great Comment from Brewskie
“What’s more is Shanghai home owners have been rioting over price discounts. Indeed, property developers are in deep trouble, as roughly 1/3rd reported negative growth in the third quarter; sales of Vanfound Real Estate, Yihua Real Estate, Hianan Haide Industry and Binjiang Group dropped more than 40%.

I also found out China’s in bigger trouble than I originally imagined. The crux the optimists like to lean on is the “$3 trillion in currency reserves crutch.” Yeah, the banks are in big trouble, and I figured the CCP would bail out the Big 4′s asses (for real this time, too, not shuffle it around debt as the last 2 times), but it wouldn’t cure the underlining suffrage at the base of the economy: namely, death in real estate, lower revenues collected by local governments as a result – along with the armies of people with money stuffed in property market related-vehicles – nor the wazillion suffering SMEs choked by dirty shark loan bastards. Historical case in point: did bailing out Wall Street banks cure America’s underlining economic problems – will employment and Main Street be revitalized soon? And $3 trillion in currency reserves is no Miracle Grow formula that’s going to shake Playdough-srength freeway ramps into titanium shape quickly, either.

However, leave it to “Genius” Jim Chanos to throw down the gauntlet: the reserves have liabilities, meaning, exporters who collected dollars exchanged transferred them for RMB at the PBOC, which they spent, meaning when China has to bail out the banks, she’ll have to print currency to save them (and what’s already suffocating many Chinese?). In a video linked below, this gets spelled out around 1:44; most of the video pertains to information China bears already know.

Posted by wtdevflnt on October 18, 2011

Here is a heart breaking video of a child who was run over. The sad thing is that not only the driver of the vehicle but 18 other people passed by the child and no one helped.

I would fast forward to the end to watch the reaction fo the people and not watch the poor child when hit.

Posted by wtdevflnt on October 15, 2011

US Man Charged with Spying for China

Posted by wtdevflnt on October 5, 2011

From here
“Bryan Underwood, 31, was arrested in Los Angeles after fleeing from initial charges that he lied to the FBI about why he was taking photographs of the consulate. Prosecutors declined to identify the consulate where he worked in China ….

The new indictment accused him of writing a letter to Chinese officials expressing an interest “in initiating a business arrangement” and also lying when he told FBI agents he was trying to help them when he took photos of his workplace ….

A lawyer for Underwood was not immediately availabl

The Real China

Posted by wtdevflnt on October 3, 2011

Here is a line from mylaowai.com that nails China on the head. He is describing a certain specie of Chinese who still inhabit the earth but who possess that Red Guard zeal responsible for the deaths of millions of their countrymen.
Read the article here, but he is describing the act of purchasing a ticket from a Chinese ticket agent
excerpt from here:
” All I am prepared to say, therefore, is that the flight originated in California, the person was female at some point before her fallopian tubes dried up like noodles that have been left in the sun, and the name was Ms T. She is employed full-time by Air China, and part-time by the folks who are in the spying game. Oh yes, and she has an expression that can curdle milk at fifty paces – you know the sort I’m talking about: some middle-aged former Red Guard bitch. They’re a dime a dozen in China. The heart is a small, black thing like a lump of coal and it pumps viscous vitriol around the body instead of blood. Too mean to die, they exist in a dark netherworld of hatred and bitterness. It is said that, as with Cliff Richard, they cannot be harmed by conventional weapons. Let the traveller beware when passing through lands inhabited by Ms T and her ilk.”

How China Viewed/Views US

Posted by wtdevflnt on October 3, 2011

This is a depiction of how the Chinese saw us when Hu Jintao was a small link in a huge communist chain. Alternatively you can think of this as the kind of stuff that China’s future leader Xi Jinping grew up with and believed in- allegedly….
