The world's largest green hydrogen project, which generates hydrogen from solar and wind renewables without emitting carbon dioxide, produced its first batch of "green hydrogen" on Thursday in Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China.
I love how you’re just doing a low key smear on me here, and you probably think you’re being really clever in the process. It’s kind of adorable really.
I am not trying to smear you… I assumed you were getting paid because you post quite often and your English reads native level. Who has that kind of time to defend a government trey don’t live under?
I’m also not joking. I really recommend you look at state media jobs. You get a visa to live in Beijing, free housing, top-line private health insurance (because even CPC knows Chinese public healthcare is terrible), and a regular paycheck. It’s a great deal. I lived in the CD employee housing and was quite satisfied with it. Beijing is a fun place to live, and the expat scene is among the best I’ve encountered.
I left for Shanghai and that’s a whole other crazy story.
If you earnestly support the CPC, why not consider moving there? There’s a lot to like
Again, this is the most surreal conversation I’ve had in a while. Plenty of people discuss politics nowadays and China in particular given that it acts as the main counter to US led world order. You can go to Lemmygrad and see plenty of people discussing China all the time, I assure you we’re not getting paid for it.
The reason I personally feel strongly about the subject is because I grew up in USSR, and saw my country destroyed through liberalism and western intervention. I personally suffered living through the collapse, and when my family moved to the west I was frankly shocked to see the insane things people believed about USSR here. I see a lot of the same smears being used against China today, and this is a personal subject for me.
I have friends from China, I have a pretty good idea of what life there is actually like. China is by no means perfect, but it’s nothing like what western media paints it and what people living in the west believe about it.
Finally, I certainly would like to move to China at some point. However, it’s not easy to just uproot yourself and move half way across the world. I have friends and family where I live, people depend on me. I can’t just up and move no matter how much I’d like to. Also, even learning the language is a challenge. I’ve been studying Mandarin for over a year now, and I’m just becoming minimally conversational in it.
Yeah I’m sure that life under the USSR was definitely better than the bullshit that came next. Albanians are living with similar headaches now, but lucky enough to live in a place that’s largely inconsequential on the world stage.
Anyway I’m not here to debate the merits of your worldview or reasons for supporting the CPC. I was genuinely curious whether you worked at state media and whether we may know some folks in common. This is my first time in such an online community
Good luck with your Mandarin. I could never get the hang of it, but most of my friends seemed capable of basic conversation and they always told me how easy it is.
I definitely don’t find it easy, but it is doable. The writing is the really hard part for me. If I actually did move to China, I want to be able to communicate with people fluently.
Most of the folks I know there who speak well never bother learning to read and write characters. I can’t blame them. It’s a huge commitment to learn a non-phonetic language. But it was funny to watch them be as clueless as me when we walk through a supermarket
I do know one guy who became so fluent that he earned their equivalent of a green card (almost unheard of).
It seems doable, I can probably recognize around a thousand characters or so at this point, and using pinyin as input means I can skip learning how to write the characters which seems to be the hardest part. And I’m not on Wechat.

Are you a Wechat user?

Damn that’s impressive character vocabulary!
I mean it’s just a matter of practice, I just spend half an hour a day practising using an app and stuff ends up sinking in eventually.
