Question for Londoners and people who’ve been to London, is it actually that much of a piss-smelling shithole? That’s basically all I’ve heard coming from friends who have gone there, which as someone from a fairly dirty third-world city, is surprising.

建国同志万岁！

Been caught up with school work recently, stressing a lot too out of fear of not getting into the university I want. But on the bright side, food here is cheap and tasty so I can’t complain.

With the war in Ukraine tilting more and more in favour towards Russia, when do you guys think the war could be over assuming it continues at this pace?

Beautiful! Where is this?

Sure

Both cities are very safe, but I recommend Chengdu more than Shanghai. Cost of living in Shanghai is pretty insane, especially if you come from a 3rd world country with bad currency (tho sill better than many major cities in the west).

Chengdu is a lot more affordable if not cheap, from what I’ve seen of property prices. Also Shanghai is pretty hectic but I hear Chengdu is laidback, so that’s nicer. Also Chengdu has absolutely beautiful mountains.

My family is very very anti-west, but most of my extended family has emigrated to the West and have been inundated with this funky anti-China shit (despite us being Chinese diaspora). It gets worse because a few of them are married to people who work in government of these Western countries, so they’re sure to be getting political knowledge from them.

I plan on having them go to China, because I have seen anecdotes of people being cured of their anti-China brain worms, or at least it plants the seed of doubt in their mind. But also I just kinda want to see their chud reactions, in awe that the supposed authoritarian state is literally 10x better.
