The guy was bashed by a lot of people on social media. Class mobility will stagnate even more if English was not studied at public curriculum. I would say everyone need at least trying another language to gain a different perspective, it do

Yup, China built railroads and other infrastructure at a relatively low price in Africa, they have no scruples. Not to mention died dozens of workers in 80s. Some Western companies are plumbing oil in Africa, they are moral heros. [0] http

Unlike U.S., Most good hospitals in China are public, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still expensive with the basic care if someone is in serious situation. More and more people are going towards buying some insurance

I have to say, most Chinese don't know this crap till today. So nobody would say this is a fully homegrown web browser. It's more like someone wanna wash their cash..

Coders make a good salary and have a normal schedule, they will usually find a partner. But nowadays I guess more and more young people will choose to live alone.

China is really different from Japan/Korea when regarding at gender. Women were called to hold up the half the sky in China since the very beginning. And nowadays girls are just equally demanded to be excellent at STEM. I guess the rea

Many of those 'more men' are from villages who didn't like girls. So they are swallowing that on their own, which is kind of re-balancing. By the way, given the tech we have these days, more and more young people seem to be O

If those attackers attacked police or gov't, they may call themselves a freedom figher. But If a guy randomly kills innocent people to show their agendas, he is definitely a terrorist, which was what happened in Xinjiang and other citi
