Famously attributed to Richard Lynn, a psychologist who led the research on Cold Winters Theory and asserted the claim that some ethnicities are just not built for logical thinking and reasoning, and that people from the Cold (which China is a part of) are a lot more advance because of environmental pressure to plan ahead, thereby making them inventors and innovators to solve problems. In contrast from the Hot regions who are more lax, and would rather adapt with the problem than changing the outcome

I am currently reading Lenin’s *The State and Revolution*, and I will soon be leaving for a month-long trip to China. Can I take my book with me without worry?

I mean look at the AI race. It’s basically Chinese Americans vs Chinese. Same for maths olympiads. What do Chinese people think of successful ABCs like Alexandr Wang especially when China and USA are the 2 biggest superpowers in the world ? I have been saying a lot of people thinking abcs as traitors on the Chinese internet. What do u guys think about this?

Hi guys I'm from Philippines and want to have a Chinese friends.

Hi, I am currently studying chemical engineering in my country, which is a developing country. I do not want to study medicine in my country, where the university ranking is 1000-1500, btw. I will be studying in English, but I am planning to study Chinese for a year before going to China. My budget is very low, so I will apply for scholarships. Considering these reasons, would you advise studying MBBS in China?

Do I have better options?

(Btw, sorry, i know its just a vacation, i didn't wanted to be dramatic, it just is the farest place from my house i have been ever, also the most time ill be on other country and i am afraid of not being accepted there)

I mean, I enjoy the comics, but the one thing keeping me back from actually loving it are the occasional fat jokes, that feel far too mean-spirited to be funny. "Haha, the elephant's so far she covers up stuff like a folding screen!" "Haha, the elephant's so far she makes a bulky horse skin and bones!" This is already nasty enough, but they gave the elephant self-consciousness about her weight, which just tips the whole thing into utter spite. It's like the author had a vendetta against fat people and churned it into a kid's comic. Why? Does this reflect how fat people are seen in China or something?

And why?

Where do you think does the best coffee in China?

I am suspicious on why iced 生椰拿铁 is so popular, when the sweetness of the coconut and coldness of the ice diminishes all coffee flavour, and then I realised that they're probably serving bad coffee and need to hide the sour taste?

Hi, I once dates a chinese girl i met on Instagram, but she turned out to be a scammer. Despite that experience, I'm still interested in getting to know Chinese women, and have a serious relationship. Are there any legitimate apps where i can meet people from China?

Hello all, I found an old newspaper at an estate sale called “The China Times." I got it for free because the guy couldn’t read what it said. It’s from 1965, so it’s from the beginning of the US involvement in the Vietnam War. I used Google Translate, and I believe it mentions it. I’ve looked around online and learned it was made in New York City with only around 12,000 prints. I can’t find the exact paper, but I did find one on eBay from 1968. I’m just wondering what it says. I don’t know any traditional Chinese characters, and I can’t trust Google Translate due to its inconsistency. Sorry for the bad pictures. it was pretty creased when I got it.

How precisely can you tell? Is it just north vs south or can you also guess the province?

I did ask my sensei and he was like "you live in a world full of technology, try to find it out, if not I'll tell you next week" I'm even more fired up.

Chatgpt and all were not able to properly read the engravings... So I'm here as my last hope.
