China Fact

Posted by w_thames_the_d on September 11, 2010


Bei means north in Chinese and Jing means capital. Thus Bei Jing means north capital, as the capital city of China has moved a few times. Nan Jing is south capital and at one time was also the capital city of China.

China’s Paid Internet Propaganda Posters

Posted by w_thames_the_d on September 11, 2010


I noticed that now on Yahoo, whenever you read about China, there is almost an equal amount of pro comments about China. The typical pro poster seems to write in a form that is eerily similar to a Chinese vz they leave out the articles or uses phrases that you often hear in China (they claim, however to be Americans) .In China, they actually pay people to post positive things about this place. The people are called 50 centers for they receive 50Chinese cents per post.
This place is pretty crazy and pride and face are of utmost importance. The sad thing is that they are now poisoning the discussion boards with their garbage. The funny thing, however is that they lack analytical skills and logic and thus dont really present good arguments in favor of their chicom masters.

Chinese Village Officials Use Public Funds to Pay for “Thailand Transvestite Touching Trip”

Posted by w_thames_the_d on September 11, 2010


Shenglong Village officials of Gangkou town, Zhongshan city are accused of using public funds to take a trip to Thailand to touch the beautiful boy girls or ‘lady boys’. These are dudes who have the whole female package minus the goodie box…
Anyway, the story is this. In china, they need to control the people. so, the Chicoms allow for each village to have officials, much like the mayor of a small town back home. The only difference is that these guys are uneducated and wear knockoff pro keds and have fewer teeth. Other than that they are equal to their western counterparts, oh yeah, with the exception that they dont have to kiss the ring of the chiccoms and kick up money that they gain illegally, oh but I digress.
So these villagers were supposedly rewarded for doing something and they took it upon themselves – allegedly- to use public money to fund this boondoggle that allowed them to grope Thai boys with titties (see photos).
When the Chinese heard about it they got pissed. China has a long history of homosexuality and emperors using little boys for fun, so I dont think that that was the issue, but misuse of funds. The funny thing was that when asked about the boondoggle, the idiotic officials (redundant in China) said things like
-I was in Thailand it is their culture
-Everyone does it
-I didnt pay to touch him
-its not bad, I never got hard when I touched him
-my hand slpped and I groped him, his hog is bigger than mine so what is the problem?
-hey we stole enough land (they had a land acquistion quota to meet), so we deserve it

This is a photo of a Thai lady boy, really it is a man with a fake chest.

Shanghai China 55 Patients Allegedly Go Blind from Cancer Treatment in Hospital- Another Case of Product Quality Problems?

Posted by w_thames_the_d on September 11, 2010


No wonder all of the Chinese want out of this place. In one Shanghai hospital over 80 people have become ill from a cancer drug and over 55 have allegedly gone blind from taking the drug!
WTF are the Chinese doing? This place is insane. I have heard reports that up to 80% of the medication here is fake and even when I wen to the hospital they asked if I wanted the “real medicine”. Jackie Chen said they need to be controlled and that Chinese cannot handle freedom….

excerpt chinadaily
“SHANGHAI – The Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau denied media reports on Friday that 55 patients had gone blind after being given injections at a local hospital..
According to the local reports, 55 patients out of the 80 subsequently went blind.

China Pissed at Japan- Japan Not Flinching, Again…

Posted by w_thames_the_d on September 11, 2010


There is this little issue occurring about an incident in the Diaoyu Islands. I really dont give a shit about it,but I guess it is a pretty big issue here. The thing is that as China gros in economic power it is seeking to regain all that it has lost over the past thousands of years. For instance, the whole issue of Tai.wan is a long and detailed one, and quite frankly imho, the people of Tai…wan should decide their own fate, but lately China seems to be extending herself.
Back to the topic, there was this incident with ‘Chinese fishing boats” or so they are called. These ‘fishing boats’ (which usually can double as spy boats) ran into a Japanese boat, and the Japanese jailed the Chinese. To me this makes sense. The Chinese did the same thing to an American boat in the past, so if they want to run with the big dogs, then sometimes they will get bitten.
The thing to me is that as you watch China grow, they seem to feel they can throw their weight around, and this makes sense. But historically they are not strong in terms of their military and the Japanese handed them their asses for years. The Japanese have a crazy warrior mentality much like the Koreans, and basically are not the type of vcountry one should mess with. After all, it took a nuke to settle them down in the second world war. If I were China, I would settle down, as there is no love lost between the two countries, and the Japanese are pretty vengeful.
