I do understand that the majority of the Chinese people are kind, and the culture of China is vast and interesting. But as in any large society there are some who perform the most horrific and selfish activities. Which isn't too surprising considering their "government" is based on cheating and lies. Thanks for doing what you do sir!

Here in Greece last year 2 Chinese were arrested for illegal poaching of a sea animal called "sea cucumber". It is endangered wildlife and they had gathered over 2 tons shipping them straight to China for a price of millions of euros.

Hi there, I'm from Malaysia. After CCP/CPC China released that so called "Updated" border map. Our Malaysian goverment conducted a military "Disaster rescue" training exercise with neighbouring countries. However, they conduct these exercise outside of the dash lines drawn by the Chinese Goverment. As much as I wanted to feel proud of my country stand up for our soverignty. I just felt our country can do more by actually conduct these exercise within those lines to show China we will not accept those new border lines within South China Sea.

[@leonaviii5111]

@@forbeginnersandbeyond6089 couldn't agree more. As much as I want us Malaysian open our eyes and criticize CCP/CPC China's atrosities. There is still too much influence from China here. 1st is we Malaysian has no faith in our goverment. With non-stop scandals and corruptions, and oppresions, there isn't much politicians that are actually working with and for the people. 2nd, racial tensions are always an issue. With distrust between Bumiputra(Ethinic Malays) and the other races like Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indians. And with the majority of the populations are Bumiputra, this makes goverment makes alot of decisions that are based on the color of their skins. Which result more racial tensions. And make Malaysian Chinese favor China more. 3rd is the language barrier. With majority of our country's news outlets and documents all written in Malay. This makes those that has less education have less news source to verify with. Most Mandarin based news outlets are dominated by CCP/CPC China or Far Left social media outlets. Its is a struggle for us to fight against CCPChina in our country, but that doesn't mean there isn't people like me who see through China's lies and deceptions, and trying to fight for democracy and equal rights. Is a struggle, but we are trying.

Takes all the ketchup packets at restaurants. He even took an emergency spill kits contents because it was there for anyone to use/take. He use to take any bike he saw that wasn’t locked. Must be free. Mostly children’s bikes. pretty sure he stole someone’s lawnmower out of the yard. Because it was just sitting there. Oh he goes to the food bank and takes stuff. Even though we feed him and house him. Must be free he always says. He is to high functioning to be kept in a old folks home.

In the past you could directly call any service and get help via a human but now all systems are automated in Japan and the company will ask you to leave your information and that they will call you back.. Do you know why that is happening? Because Chinese companies and netizens have been harassing Japanese companies and cooperations by robo calling them non stop and trying to not only harasss but also scam and intimidate them!!!!

I stayed once at a decent hotel in a Montreal (Canada) suburb. Breakfast was included. In the morning, I went to the breakfast room aroung 7 a.m. to grab my breakfast before going out on an errand. A large Chinese family (most likely, Canadian Chinese - but not sure) were a prominent presence, eclipsing everybody else. 3 generations, about 7+ people, grabbed everything edible and drinkable on display in the buffet. Tweenies ran around the room, dropping bits of food around, obviously never hungry at all, periodically stopping at the waffle-baking machine to make waffles, pour lavishly maple sirop on those, have a bite and throw the rest in the garbage, only to come back a minute later to make new waffles with the same result. Their parents made no effort to stop them; instead they indulged in other similar activities. The grandma was stuffing herself with fruits and buns, and tea. I left to do my errand. I returned just before 10 a.m. That family were still there! The grandma almost lay on sofa, unable to move, with her mouth and legs open, but still chewing something. I checked out and left. I can't figure out the purpose of their stay at a Montreal suburb, apart from stuffing themselves with freebies. A colleague of mine, who had spent decades in China and had a Chinese wife told me that it was a typical behaviour. And now this video...

[@1inchPunchBowl]

It's for activists in those countries to take action. For your analogy to apply, the students would have to attend the same school.

[@VallornDeathblade]

Those activists are usually funded by foreign powers to undermine Europe or America. The majority of the Green movement for instance was funded by the USSR to build anti-nuclear sentiment and China and modern Russia do the same things today. It's not limited to one side of the aisle either, they want to sow discord and undermine the nation and society, so they fund and support everyone from watermelon envirofascists to black bloc commie authoritarians to 3%ers or Q stuff because it all drives wedges between people.

[@humrH2360]

It really is infuriating that those activists always seem to be blind to the elephant in the room that is China. Most of it I think is rooted in both stupidity and sloth. They're largely unaware of China's contributions to pollution and nature destruction, either because they're unwilling to research beyond their orgs' slogans or are actively kept ignorant on the matter. And regardless of even that, they don't want to put in the effort to put pressure on China, especially since these activist organizations aren't really motivated by making real positive changes; most of it is about bullying for political power and the public spotlight, and it's much easier to get that by being a public nuisance than actually going out into the world and changing it for the better.

[@humrH2360]

​@@1inchPunchBowlAnd where are THOSE activists? Places like China face ZERO public pressure over their environmental violations because none of these orgs or governments are willing to hold their feet to the fire, not mention that China would probably stamp out any effort among their own population to form such an organization. Perhaps a better analogy would be that environmental activists are like the neighbor that harasses everyone next door to them for having ash trays, but completely ignores the guy at the end of the street whose trash is spilling over into other people's yards and into the middle of the road. These organizations benefit nobody, because they're being a public nuisance to their local population over issues that are already easily handled, yet turn a blind eye to when such infractions are happening at much more frightening scale elsewhere that's within plain sight.

I lived in S. Korea for a few years back in 2006. The fishing seemed dried up then! They had shows where they followed fisherman out on long trips at sea and they brought back almost nothing. I couldn't understand everything they said. At the time, I remember SK and K Japan were arguing over an island out in the Sea of Japan. Evidently the fishing was plentiful there. They were desperate to keep it. China comes ALL THE WAY to the waters off the US to fish, scrape clean, our coastal waters, especially Alaska. They are the reasons we have to be so conserving. They steal AND wipe out any chance of rebuilding the fish populations.
