Ethnic Jingpo sword dance at the opening of Yunnan Province Urban Football Super League in Yunnan, China

Jingpo people also known as Kachin in Myanmar and Singpho in NE India. Jingpo is their self-name.

Most part of China banned open edged weapons but in ethnic autonomous regions of Yunnan, it's legal because it's carried as traditional symbol of manhood.

The Chinese are very into in the Scandinavian models.

yep - also they're incentivized to read history as part of their day job in China - histography isn't just a hobby, it's a required part of their job description in terms of dealing with international affairs and matters of trade, economic and geopolitical policy abroad

My methodology for the CICI was as follows:

Start with a normalized value for their registered hukou population (户籍人口), not current inhabitants (常住人口). That's considering the entire prefecture population, not just the metro downtown, because anyone or any part of a prefecture can contribute to reputation creation.

After that, subtract for anything that gives the prefecture city aura, name-recognition, any kind of notability at all. That includes things like:

- being a provincial capital
- having famous tourist attractions (esp. 5A)
- having a national brand headquarters
- having historical or cultural significance
- famous cuisine/dishes
- any memes associated with the city
- being the site of a major disaster or scandal (negative reputation is still reputation)
- having anything else that people think of when you mention it

The highest scores after subtracting become the leaders on my CICI. This methodology allows me to find not just the small and obscure cities, but specifically *cities that are far less famous than their population suggests they should be.* The data part of this was AI-assisted.

I haven't been to most of the places on this top 15 list - because I'd typically travel to places that have notable economic or touristic activity - which by definition perform worse in the CICI. 🤔

And look, I know almost every city has a bit of *something*, or else there wouldn't be be a city there at all. It's all relative, and subjective, and for fun, so if you want to disagree with the list, just be nice about it.

All that being said, here my top 15:

This is why Thatcher was upset when Hong Kong, as per terms in Nanking Treaty August 29, 1842*, was returned to China 29 years ago in 1997, finally rid of 🇬🇧UK's colonial usurpation of the land and exploitation of its Chinese subjects. [*Cf. Encyclopedia of Britannica.]

Stunned after her groundless argument on Facts and Law was smashed by one sentence uttered by DengXiaoPing in a meeting that spelled the end of British rule of Hong Kong, she tumbled on the stone steps of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on September 24, 1982 when the meeting concluded. She'd thought she could "out-iron" Deng. Iron v Steel. What a stupid woman!

Side Comment: Western governments, if you study history of the last 400 years in earnest, have a bad habit of reneging on terms in treaties, regardless with whom. This is the story of their barbarity disguised as "HumanRights" and "Democracy" - [democracy my foot, their own folks all have to endure without end poverty and homelessness and told by their media that's the way it is in "democracy"].

I grew up in my childhood in HK when it was a British Colony. The starkest memory I have is the expansive visage of shanty towns on hillsides that had no running water and no indoor plumbing, and of the colonial mansions perched on top of Victoria Peak commanding full views of the beautiful harbor. The stark gap between Squalor and Splendor is the most indecent thing ever created by Western Imperialism which receives the eupheme "Christian Charity". I didn't know Jesus ever said anything close to it.

English speakers on average might be better at pronouncing Korean names than the average Chinese person.

You might think because Chinese and Korean are closer to one another than English is to Korean that Chinese people must be better at pronouncing Korean words, but the truth is unless a Chinese person has studied Korean, he's likely very shit at pronouncing Korean names.

That's because Korean proper names are mentioned in Chinese conversation, we simply just read the Hanja behind those names in Chinese. Lee Jae-myung? We call him Li Zaiming, because that's how 李在明 is read in Chinese.

Kim Il Sung? We call him Jin Richeng, because that's how the characters for his name 金日成 are read in Chinese.

It's like how 1 2 and 3 are read as one, two, and three in English, but as uno, dos, and tres in Spanish.

I see the "600m Chinese have salaries <1k CNY a month" error still has legs. 🙃

But do you know the story about how it got misinterpreted originally? (link in my next tweet)

(tldr: it's a statistical average of disposable income across the lower 2 quintiles, not wages)

Is this bait for making a China comparison?

Fine, I'll bite. A 400-km ride, e.g. from Beijing to Jinan, takes btw 1:22 & 2:16 on the HSR & costs around 200 RMB or 25 Euros for a 2nd class ticket (duration & price both vary ofc). The slow train takes about 6 & half hrs & costs about 60 RMB or 8 Euros.

A 17 year old girl from a low income background in Thailand is not a sex “worker” she’s a victim of prostitution and economic exploitation. Full stop. Rural to city trafficking pipeline often targets girls as young as 13–15. This middle aged Australian man murdered a child.

In China, even the bins can get their own ACs.

One of the thing that shocked me the most when I started looking beyond the surface narrative was the shamelessness with which the pan-green side graverobbed Taiwanese communists who went off to there deaths chanting “long live the Chinese Communist Party” and “glory to the motherland” and made movies that made them look like proto pro-independence activists.

@Dajiangyou2010 @_ilestlor Oui à Paris beaucoup d'immeubles datant du 19eme du style Haussmannien sont dans ce cas, les façades sont classés comme monuments donc c'est impossible de faire des modifications dessus.

[Zhang ouioui @ikariSc2]

@KaplanBen_Fr Merci pour votre réponse, c'est plus clair pour moi.

[Zhang ouioui @ikariSc2]

@KaplanBen_Fr Après pour la Chine il faut rajouter Hongkong qui est a 4,70

[Zhang ouioui @ikariSc2]

@KaplanBen_Fr Y'a t'il une raison pour ne pas additionner les émissions de CO2 provenant de la Guyane française(1,17t CO2/hab) et de la Polynésie (3,29t CO2/hab) ? Si je fais l'addition on a 8,58t de CO2 par habitant en 2024.

I’m leaving CHINA! “I am sick and tired of this place…this place is hopeless”

These are the recent words of the infamous “Professor” Jiang in Beijing.

@Jerry_grey2002 predicted Jiang would not last through the summer at his school in Beijing.

That prediction just came true.

I have predicted that NOT only will Jiang be leaving China, but once he does, he will be astro-boosted to become the most famous Chinese Anti-China critic in modern social media history!

Jiang is poised to undoubtedly surpass Gordon G. Chang as the most extreme and hyperbolic anti Communist Sinophobe popular amongst the West.

Jiang foreshadows his plans to be more “forthcoming” about China—suggesting he’s been hiding the truth.

If you want to know what he’ll talk about, I have his entire script, all discretely telegraphed in advance, hidden clues in random comments of his videos from over the years.

Just watch my full multi thread breakdown of an anti Chi Com supervillain in the making!
