@peppercoyote Traditionally Chinese people don't drink iced beverages, and shops try to save on costs, so some places don't fully turn on their coolers until summer. It’s better in the South since it’s hot there year-round.
@monsieurbepis@Molson_Hart The pronunciation of Chinese characters sometimes has nothing to do with the pronunciation of their components. The pronunciation of "crooked" (歪) is wāi, but the pronunciation of "not straight" (不正) is búzhèng.
@MichaelDChaney@Molson_Hart 歪 itself is pronounced wāi, the composition of the character only indicates meaning but not pronunciation (as 不正 should be pronounced búzhèng)
@mizzoumalek23@bilbosfootcomb It was quite the opposite. If he’d gone back to China before the PRC was founded, Chiang would’ve likely had him executed. KMT charged him with treason and kept asking the Soviets to extradite him.
