This is sad to hear...but too often a common story for Chinese immigrants in numerous other countries.
But certainly not a surprise at all.
The Italian-AMERICANS here in murica are definitely some of the worst experiences I've had too. Same kinda utter psychotic, deranged toxicity. Same kinda double standards and hypocrisy. Same kinda total lack of self awareness regarding integration and not seeing themselves as the problem.
I'm gonna be honest and say that I have had far too many negative experiences with Italians of all kinds everywhere and almost very little positive experiences. Like rare AF.
I don't know...maybe it's just them for once.
What else are they known for after the overrated Roman Empire?
Sending disgusting and sickening pedophile boy lover Catholic priests out to every corner of the world.
Oh and exporting gangbangers who think they're sophisticated because they wear suits and drink wine.
If anyone in Europe ever makes the mistake of warring with Russia they'll finally see firsthand just how pathetically they've fallen...and if Russia needs help lol ok sure!
China should take revenge for all those European atrocities during the century of humiliation.
Agree it's same in the netherlands, I can handle the racism it's something I'm used too since I was like 4 years old. But lately everything is getting more expensive in the netherlands, my salary is not really growing fast enough so I'm losing buying power. I have no money problems but relatively seen my living costs grow faster than my salary.
So I'm asking why even stay here and be subjected to this light workplace discrimination while I can most probably earn more and pay less taxes in Asia.

Not saying it's not a problem but that's an exaggeration. I'd say last year I was in different parts of San Francisco probably four or five days a week. Most of that in the video are basically bad neighborhoods and parts of downtown in San Francisco where there wasn't a lot of business activity in the first place. The same people who make these types of videos are the same who say China is collapsing. Just as we see Republicans in red states shipping migrants to blue states, it's been long suspected that for a long time before they were doing that with their homeless in their states giving them a bus ticket to San Francisco or Los Angeles. The Republicans want to portray these cities as an example of failure because they're traditionally Democratic just like they want to portray China as a failed country because it's run by communists.

The dam was brand new, built in 2014.
Today is the 17th anniversary of Wikileaks, which exposed one of the war crimes below.
An article by Reuters published in Singapore's Straits Times: this writing is the PERFECT example of the dishonesty of Western propaganda. Throughout the entire article on Ukrainian Nazi veterans celebrated in Canada, they failed to mention the word "Ukraine" or "Ukrainian" even once. Not even the name of the unit SS Galicia (the name of Western Ukraine) Division was mentioned, and of course also fails to mention that official Ukrainian national heroes like Stefan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych were also Nazi war criminals. So, instead of exposing the Canadian government for covering up for Ukrainian war crimes, they make it look like this is purely between Jews, Canada and Germany.
We've gone on about this for very long, so I'll keep it brief: China had crossbow tech, Greco-Romans had more torsion weapons, the ballista and onager etc. different requirements different advantages, no need to compare
By the late Empire the Romans reverted to the fulcum, a kind of Greco-Macedonian phalanx, because their prior tactics were so ineffective against Goth/Vandal, Persian cavalry — the vast majority of their military problems were from Parthians and Persians (cavalry) — goes to show how specific their challenges were during their Golden Age period and their lack of exposure to steppe warfare like the Han had.
That's precisely the thing, Rome was a kind of warmongering self-cannibalizing machine that did not have long term planning. Auxillaries were "paid" by getting citizenship rights after 25 years service. What happens when citizenship becomes widespread? What happens when you need to expand citizenship more quickly to boost tax revenues and increase political integration? No answer. Roman forces always relied on non-sustainable incentives.
Correction here. First, Mafia come from Naples and Sicily, impoverished regions conquered by Italy. Many of them are not even willing to be Italians. also, very few missionaries were Italians as compared to all other European nationalities, especially during the colonial period. The Vatican is not part of Italy and in fact fought hard to resist Italian unification. There is an Italian saying, "no Italian was ever impressed by a Pope". Since the Middle Ages, Catholicism was much more deeply shaped by French influence. So they can't claim the Roman Catholic Church as theirs either.
More badass than Hammer/sickle on Crystal Liu’s forehead.
Apparently, western liberal democracies involve political assassinations. Truly, a model for the world. Also, they’re getting sloppy, whatever happened to suiciding someone who can shoot themselves twice in the back of the head and put themselves in a garbage bag?
Interesting comment; if Apple really was trying to bully Chinese factories to move out of China, then they deserve everything coming to them.
