That isn't that bad. You can do a lot more time in the states -- well at least in Texas. It's legal now on the entire west coast." Chinese National: "No. No. 2 days to live."
- nemothekid 5y agoI’m not sure China fit the bill “despised under class”. It would seem to me that China’s (Han Chinese) underclass, at least in urban cities, have a lot more access to welfare, like the GP was saying about Singapore
