>>7444848They go into deeper things, albeit gingerly. They both have wives or at least in-laws back in China, and want to stay in China's good graces, which they currently are, or at least Winston is. But, having binge-watched for a week, they cover:
> China's vaccine scandaland the guy responsible /got a promotion/, and he /did it again/!?!?!?! And they used the same picture and same wording, the very same apology, the second time as the first.
> How badly the beer can be adulteratedAt least laowhy86 - top-pic guy - have gotten sick for 2 days, from it. I think Winston said he nearly died from ... a meal, I think it was.
> drinking cultureless of a big deal
> insight into Chinese drivingThe China hate threads here are real (duh, but ..) - best of all, insight into the Chinese driving mentality - you have to honk to let someone know you're there. Much more but I don't remember it - very egocentric though, no surprise that there are so many accidents. Oh - riding a motorcycle is low-class, and, people in fancier cars disdain people in less-fancy cars, /and people accept this/, because if you've got a fancy car, you've got connections, and you'll come out better in any accident. Eg, a person in a fancy car could wipe out a motorcyclist with only a small charge (an example they use).
> differences in family expectations around marriageNot damning, just informative - the wife's parents expect to move in with you
> China closing itself to outsiders, As you mentioned. OP-pic guy, laowhy86 had a /great/ AMA a few months back, he thinks China is de-emphasizing communism, and is just going toward the North Korea model. Was very insightful. I think it was titled, something about the future of China. Matt (aka laowhy86, top-pic) is a smart guy.
What else....? There's more, having trouble remembering. But they don't do 'gotcha!' on China, as I've said they need to stay in China's good graces for several reasons.
