German Girlfriend's First Impressions of China (Beijing Capital)

[@cheungchingtong]

Lots of hotels in China use that little robot to deliver, even in some high rise apartment buildings, for quite a few years, that's why nobody cares about it, China now is developing drone delivery in cities, that would surprises some.

[@FeedingFoca]

It's crazy how fast the innovations are implemented there. Drone deliveries sound so futuristic! Looking forward to try it. 😎

[@cheungchingtong]

​@@FeedingFoca Nothing crazy, it is easy to get these things done instead of getting a public toilet done in 4 years, if you don't have a bunch of bureaucratic old men and women fighting each others in Congress, for nothing related to their people but votes and corperate sponsors. Drone deliveries you need to visit Shenzhen, you can also tryself-driving taxi and even watch a CBD skyscraper light show after sunset there.

[@FeedingFoca]

That sounds amazing! Shenzhen is definitely on our list

​@@FeedingFoca Squat toilets are much better for you then western style toilets look up the info if you want. Don't talk as if only the western ways are civilized and other countries method are not.

[@FeedingFoca]

Sorry we didn't want to offend the squat toilet fans, we don't intend to offend anyone really, but it seems like impossible nowadays 😅 You are right, I'm aware that the squat toilets are more ergonomic, plus they help to save money on gym memberships

Do you know China is only developing country which can manufacture 2 types of stealth jet fighters J-20 and J-35, aircraft carriers with electromagnetic catapult and send crew into its own space station? China’s big advantage over India and other developing countries is its one party system: very efficient and always choose experienced ,capable leader.

[@FeedingFoca]

Oh very interesting. I did not know this!

[@peterpan789]

@@harrysmith8515 hallo troll of the 50 cent army, it is only one aircraft carrier and not carriers which the PLA assert, it gots an electromagnetic catapult and nobody saw it working or only exists. The carrier is still not finished and rusts since years somewhere. The J-35 is a 100 % copy of the U.S. F-35. And for sure, the tecnologie for the space station is also stolen from other nations. The PRoCh asserts himself at the UPU it is a developing country to safe package fees worldwide. The dictation in the PRoCh is very efficient in arresting, tortureing and killing people who have entiteld criticism at the CCP or even Cheating Ping. Very efficient in destroying culture and arresting or killing people in Tibet, Southern Mongolia and Uyguria because the people there are not Han Chinese.

[@KayyHong]

That proves it is NOT the system of government but the Quality of leaders that count.

[@peanut0brain]

"one party system" proves you're thinking in western terms. It's the China govt, period.

[@andrewzhang985]

China actually has either other political parties, such as China democratic party, China freedom party, China nationalist party, China scholar federation party etc, but because all of them are too small in their memberships comparing to CPC so that they won't be able to challenge the dominant power of CPC. However all the parties have representatives in China's highest political organization - the Chinese national congress, their views and concerns are listened to by CPC too.

The government stipulates that all public toilets must be free and the distance between them must not exceed 300 to 500 meters in citys, and the maintenance of all public toilets must be borne by the local community government, and there are special personnel to perform star rating, which is also included in the official performance assessment and city star rating. In China, usually any restaurant will not refuse you to use their toilet, and if you want to find Western-style toilets, there are usually shopping malls. Chinese people prefer squatting toilets outside of hotels and homes because they feel more hygienic and clean.

[@FeedingFoca]

Yes, to be fair, I love that there are so many Public toilets in China. Never had an issue finding one 😊

[@peanut0brain]

The public toilets in chengdu are super clean and comes with large digital ad display outside and inside there's a smaller display with the outside temperature

Even publib toilets are changing very fast guys! You just have to remember that less than 20y ago there were almost none in parks ands squares. Now Beijing is the city with the highest number of toilets in the world!! Of course for now, quantity is more important than quality. But surely you can also find very fancy ones that can envy any city in the West.

[@FeedingFoca]

It's an interesting contrast to see squat toilets, EVs and robots coexisting at the same time though 😂 But you are right, there are a lot of free public toilets available, which actually is great, they might not be clean or modern, but better that than no toilets at all. In Spain and Germany you won't find them nearly as often, and a lot of them are simply closed, trashed or one must pay to use them...

Although he did not want to ridicule foreigners, China had a systematic public toilet 2700 years ago. The Europeans were still in the ancient Roman period at that time, and the people were excreted everywhere. What I want to say is that squatting toilets are just difficult to use in Europe and Americans. In fact, it is hygienic. You will not have any contact with the previous excrement. When I thought of the European toilet, I sat on the cushions used by thousands of people, and I wanted to vomit. I have been squatting on the cushion for six and a half years in Germany。 In addition, China has only been poverty in the past hundred years. At other times, China is the richest country in the world. We are just restoring the stage we should have. Westerners always feel surprised. In fact, most Chinese people feel that this is reasonable, because the Chinese culture has never been disconnected for 5,000 years. We have enough history to compare our mistakes. We have enough minds To tolerate foreign culture, we have enough wisdom and hard work to create our future, because we have been standing in the world for 5,000 years, and it is only a hundred years behind. It is too short.

Public toilets in Asia are all squat toilets, mainly for convenience of cleaning and preventing infection. The toilet is generally used in hotels and at home. Please explain it to your German girlfriend and let her practice it.

[@FeedingFoca]

Yes, I kind the idea of the cleanliness. Also, that you don't have to touch anything is actually very good, but it is not the lost comfortable 😄

[@strassmanncai]

Ha, do you know it is physically hard for most white people to practice squat. Russian is exception.

[@jimingchan6384]

Yup..Squat toilets and bum guns are very common in South East Asia especially in some shopping malls.. Not everyone likes their butts to come into contact with the toilet seats 😂😂😂

[@jayanthlaxman9188]

Also explain to her the healthiest way to take a shit is squatting. It also keeps your knees healthy forever. Not to mention sitting on toilets where some infected bums were before 😢

I find squat toilets more hygienic.There are no squat toilets in Europe because a lot of people are overweight.

[@xyue970]

​@@FeedingFocaI totally agree. It may be inconvenient for the elderly.

[@jascforfun7576]

@@FeedingFoca It's a matter of cultural habit; elderly people in China have no issues in general with squatting because they do it throughout their life, tend to be more physically active and less overweight in old age than Western counterparts. Squatting is actually healthy exercise and contributes to "core" building, balance, back health and mobility. I personally prefer sit-toilets but due to habit.

Many major tourists attractions in China are usually closed on Monday as their rest day. Only Great Wall is open on Monday. So apparently everyone goes to GW on Monday. Check opening time of each one should you plan to go on Monday. Sometimes during peak season, their government changes the schedule and opens 7 days a week.

[@FeedingFoca]

Oh thank you for this information! I was not aware 🙂

[@stefenleung]

I disagree on the squad toilet part. I don't usually use to the squad part as a male. But even when occasionally I need to do no2, on a seated toilet, I would rather the squad style rather than my butt to touch the seat if you know what I mean. Of cos, I use seated toilet on my home, or on hotel where I supposed them to be clean, definitely not public toilet.

[@FeedingFoca]

Yes, I can understand this point. After using it for a while, I got used to it, but when you have never used it, it requires some training 😂

Compared with Chinese culture's history, the "communist" is far too short. When looking back at Chinese history, I am always wondering why the Chinese culture is so strong and whether the dynasty or religion came from outside, in the end, all merged into Chinese culture but not replaced anything. The "communist" from the modern west but now it's "Chinese socialism"。

[@FeedingFoca]

Thanks for the explanation 🙏

了解一下中国两三年哲学家提出的天下大同的观点。这就是人类最早的共产主义理想。 中国是一个农耕文明，这种文明是建立在一种稳定的社会结构的基础之上的。所以，中国人，注重社会的稳定，和谐以及保障社会中其他人的利益。 这就是为什么世界上有那么多国家选择了共产主义或者是社会主义，但只有中国才可以做得更好的原因。因为中国的传统文化，跟这种思想高度契合。

Western countries should be difficult to popularize electric vehicles, because electric vehicles need national and manufacturers to lay charging piles covering the country together, so as to ensure that electric vehicles can be charged wherever they drive. But look at the world's power ranking, do Western countries have enough cleaning power? Western countries have rejected the low Russian natural gas without sufficient solar energy. More importantly, many of the so -called democratic countries in the West, many of the electric power companies are private companies. Will they have a good way to laid a charging pile in the country? Don't dream
