I was told this saying by a chinese person who was complaining about how Chinese companies abroad are taking over massive projects effectively, yet, within China companies are ran horrifically (not all, but many), having such traditions such as bribing your way to the top, hiding errors from your boss to save face which in turn affects production, floods of poor quality products. Yet, when you look at some of the chinese companies abroad they can pretty much compete with anyone. Pakistan have some new state of the art ports, they’re building hydro dams in africa, many solar panels and real estate projects in the U.S (they’ve got one of the biggest offices in the twin towers). One can only take such a saying to heart. It really does make sense. When the Chinese are individual, or outside of China, their work ethics magically change, but when there is nothing but chinese in China, something changes. I wonder what that is? Is the fact that within China they follow chinese culture/tradition? and abroad they have to be more modernized and use global standard? Imagine what would happen when china finally breaks free from its save face culture, and really starts to have an open mind and evolve from it’s older style way of thinking. Tradition is great, but we no longer think the way we did in the 1500s, and times have changed, it’s time to get with the program. And when the Chinese are on the program, they are dragons, it’s proven.

What it’s like to watch live MMA in China
WBK had a show in Qingdao, obviously being an MMA fan I had to attend.
3 KOs, 2 subs and 1 TKO. T’was a good event, I was impressed.
They didn’t sell any snacks, beer or water (drink tap from the fountain if you dare lol) – I sat there for 4 hours hungry, thirsty and cold, but it was worth the experience. Chinese audience are comedy. The Thai coaches would make a sound every time their guy would land a leg kick, so, the Chinese started randomly making the sound all through out the fight even when there was no contact, and when the guy was leaving haha. They were trolling suuuuupeer hard. Yelling “bite him”, “look at his stubby legs, stop kicking your kicks suck”, ” he fights like my son and he’s 9″. Then the roar when a chinese fighter KO’d a japanese fighter, they went bananas. Whole experience was gold. Not a big turn out and sometimes they were laughing during the fight, but I have no idea what they were laughing at, apparently leg locks are funny, I don’t know. All in all, would attend another for sure.
The blonde girl in all black is from Ukraine, the other girl is from Iran. HOLY SHIT the Ukrainian went HAM. She had reach and was lighting ol girl up like Holm vs Ronda, problem is, she was going TOO HAM. She threw some 12 to 6 elbows on the back of ol girls head…….a handful of times 😮 she got carded twice in less than a min and eventually lost the fights because of the point deductions

Stereotyping Dance
Me and my gf Claire were hanging out watching youtube videos when a chinese folk song came on, I proceeded to fan dance with no fans like so
Claire bursts into laughter and tears
“What are you doing?!?!?”
Me: Chinese dancing *fan fan fan* *head tilt**fan*
Her: *rolls on the bed laughing*
Me: Hehe funny eh? How do black people dance?
Her: *stands up* *starts thrusting and gyrating her tiny asian hips*
:*D
Me: What is that?
Her: I dont know, that’s how it looks, like you’re having sex with air
LOL
In retrospect, she’s not wrong *shrugs* *starts twerking*
Local Cameroonian MC just spit a freestyle on one of my beats a cpl days ago. Dark.
Sacramento Kings and the cringe induced demand
In case you haven’t read the story, link here.
It is the Chinese year of the Monkey. The Kings scrapped shirts after their star player took offense to the monkey on it. Now if that isn’t the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. WTF does the year of the monkey have to do with black people? It doesn’t even cross my mind to be offended about such things. African Americans really need to start expanding their horizon past American social issues. If anything, he should have taken the time to complain about why their were no shirts for black history month, instead he complains about other people’s culture (asians have a large population in NorCal) and the organization was merely trying to make them happy. These are the same people that pay for tickets and thus pay for his income. I just can’t understand the overt sensitivity, you see a monkey and actually associate it with you? WTF??????? That in itself is almost racist because you’re associating. How can you expect people to celebrate your culture when you can’t even recognize other peoples? Sheer ignorance, and the Kings shouldn’t have removed shit and explained how there is a huge world out there, to him.
Happy Kwanzaa…China
I’m not sure if it’s just Qingdao, but american expats never congregate.
I’m not sure if it’s just Qingdao, but american expats never congregate during our ‘holidays’ like 4th of july etc etc. I’m not complaining, but its interesting to see various countries come together for their festivals, whether it be independents, muslim holidays, but when its american holidays…you see more europeans and chinese celebrating and posting ‘happy 4th’ than actual americans. I’m not exactly sure why that is, but it’s bizarre. Do we just not care? Have no pride? Find shame? Find lame? Do other people just enjoy celebrating them because they want to mimic off american tv shows since it looks ‘cool’? Even religious holidays like Christmas, I notice groups come together like the French and their dinners, the Italians, but you will never here of the Americans getting together, not even for a superbowl. While aborad, we tend to just blend in with everyone else and give each other the head nod rather than unite. Maybe we just think it’s kind of corny? who knows.
