You cant live in China and not have WeChat. They use it to pay for everything. Even the little old lady selling homemade candies had a QR code printed out and taped to her cart. I left with the same amount of cash I arrived with, as nobody takes it.
The Chinese people are so fucked. Their government has them completely by the balls
Eh, Canada is no significant threat to the US. Sure, they share a border with us, but their population is small, their industry is small, their economy is modest.
An open border on our northern side is a threat.
That's what they want you to think while they secretly weaponize their surplus stockpile of '90s Labatt's ICE.
I think our main export is rocket scientists and has been since, oh, about two in the afternoon on 1959 February 20. Or so.
I’m sorry what?
Canada May turn into globohomo nightmare on our border and you consider this no threat?
You need to look up the word Subversion
Maybe time we built A WALL IN THE NORTH
This is so true. ....in many ways. I travelled China in 2010. Around that period, China was better. It is going downhill sadly. I would not return in this current climate.
"look at how advanced we are!"
Yeah you're slaves to your phone's battery, much progress lol
Slaves to your phone's battery.
Brilliantly dystopian and contemporaneously relevant. I'm borrowing it.
LMAO - here's some Activision/Blizzard propaganda on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo-dgKbr1AE&t=32m45s
Yep. You cannot live in Chyna without WeChat. You have to quite literally do e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. using WeChat. And everything you do with WeChat is provided to the CCP in real-time.
They read everything too!! My son was there last year and he texted on WeChat about using google. He was informed it was illegal and everything he texted was being read by the government. Cameras everywhere too! Crazy!
If I ever made plans to travel to China, this would kill any possibility of that happening.
He exagerate a lot. People do use wechat for a lot of stuffs but you can use cash literally anywhere. I've lived there and I never payed anything with wechat, only cash
How many cigarettes do you estimate you passively smoked in China? I have heard the smell is the first thing to hit you when you get off the plane.
There are some funky smells, and you get used to not being able to see more than 30 yards at best. But the part you cannot understand until you see it in person is what that many people really looks like. In Utah, you can pass all the "skyscraper" type buildings in a few minutes in a car. In China, I was on high speed train for 3 hours and it was skycrapers the entire way.
Well, to be fair, Utah is not exactly a high population state. LA, New York, Miami, Houston, Dallas are more along the lines of what you might see in China.
Granted, some of the bigger cities in China have footprints bigger than even our biggest cities, but they do have a lot more people than us.
Comparing SLC to Beijing is, well, more than a bit unfair of a comparison.
I understand that. I was trying to think of a small city. But a train going 300mph would blow through Manhattan pretty quick.
I lived in NYC for 10 years. Went on a business trip to Sao Paulo Brazil. That city is 5 times larger than NYC. Couldn't believe how big it was. Beijing is way bigger than Sao Paulo.
As much as I enjoyed playing Morrowind...
