@JaycelAdkins I just started this series recently as well, it's really illuminating.

@manyapan You can't reckon seriously with China without understanding its strengths and how they are connected to what we view as its problems.

[Walker Chapman @WalkerChapman]

@FralickTim34304 @manyapan The dialogue on China is extremely polarized, so its very hard to stand in the middle without getting pulled to either side.

@WarrenSee It's improved a lot, but still could be a lot better. The statistics are all online to check.

@SecondRingSZN I met a small business owner in Zhejiang who was like this, also liked to read daoist and confucian works and treat them as 圣人 who know The Way (of making money)

@sisunandoMK2 If you really think about it, getting shown up by people who don't exist should be much worse..

@teortaxesTex Zhejiang was host to one of the most developed cultures of the late neolithic period, Liangzhu, but the area fell off after that for a long time.

@teortaxesTex But you could also posit that these small moments of indecisiveness actually are representative of someone's relationship with themselves and the world. On the other hand, I wonder about what fixating on this kind of thing represents about a woman, because it doesn't seem normal.

[Walker Chapman @WalkerChapman]

@teortaxesTex In this case, a desire for a mate that has competence/mastery over their environment extends to small actions that have no significance in themselves but are symbolic of these traits.

[Walker Chapman @WalkerChapman]

@teortaxesTex @Bluebearmonkey It seems like an embodiment of the toxic facets of Chinese work culture.

@USA_BaoziLover They need to change the driving mechanics to include aggressive drivers, bicycles and scooters that act like traffic laws dont exist, then it will be exciting

@CurtExplores The way they set up that 'ancient city' with ordinary businesses and residences built into it is so school. Makes it feel more real and alive than all those look-alike plastic replica cities.
